It is probable that an immense exhibit
Of the agricultural products OF Iowa will
be made at the state fair. The manage
hibt II arrangements can be made in
order TO compensate for the dearth of ag-
rioultural and hortlc ultural products In
Alabama this year. The greatest crops
ever known feve teen produced In Iowa
and Missouri this year. and the speci.
mems of all the cereals end other field
products which can be brought from

seventy feet square. This exhibit will
embrace full lines of light vehicles, such
as buggies, carriages, Surveys, phaetons
and spring delivery wagons. It will be
the largest line OF vehicles ever shown

no doubt however, that 1t will also at
tract much attention from the general
public This exhibit will be in a building
erected especially for 1t near the machin-
cry hall.
The local artists of Birmingham are
going to exert themselves to make the
best display of their works that has ever
been made here. Among the exhibitors
whose works have never been seen at a
state fair will be those of Miss Edna
Smith, who has taken a course of in
struction in the best studios of Paris.
At the present time Miss Smith has as
protege an eccentric French artist who
is quite genius at modelling in clay and
in the making of plaster medallions In
bas relief. A good many of his works
will be exhibited in the art department
of the fair.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Charles II. Yole's Everlasting Devils
Auction was presented at the Jefferson

1t should be everlasting is hard to under

The company last night was better
than the one here last season but this

praise. The speciality performances of

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE ON
THE FIRE
CLAIMS
D. w. STEVENS, AMERICAN COUN-
SELLOR TO JAPANESE LEGA-
TION AT WASHINGTON, SPEAKS
OF MATTER-MARCUs ISLAND.


d. w. Stevens, the American Coun-
sellor to the Japanese legation at
Washington, did not stop over here
from the America Maru. by which he
was passenger, as il was expected by
the Japanese consul and colony that
he would do. He received word in Yo-
kohama of the serious illness of his
sister and he is Fastening his journey
on that account.
Il did not intend to stop over here"
he said this morning, although l have
learned since l arrived here that 1 was
expected to stop over to inform myself
concerning the fire claims. But there
Is no need of stopping over for that
purpose for l was here for five months
in the early part of the year, and ought
to know all about them, or at least all
that l could learn by another stop.
What are the views of the Japanese
Government regarding these claims
Well, naturally the Japanese Govern
ment feels that its subjects have suf-
fered very serious loss through no fault
of their own, and that it is within the
province of the United States to make
compensation to the subjects of
friendly power for losses arising as
these did. AS to what the Japanese
say, further than that 1T will undoubt-
edly do all that it can to secure recon-
pense for its subjects.
'As for Marcus Island, 1 don't know
that there is anything new regarding
that l understand that Captain Rose
hill has filed a claim against the Jap
anese Government for 1880, 900 or is it
d,000,000? 1t seems to me his claim is
against the United States, because his
claim to title arises from alleged acts
of the United States. Besides, the Unit
ed States has a great deal more money
than Japan has. He seems to have
conducted himself very sensibly at
Marcus Island.
Il have seen some very silly dis
patches published in American papers
about alleged claims of Japan to Wake
Island. But Japan makes no claim to
" axe Island. Wake Island as undoubt-
edly belongs to the United States as
Marcus Island does to Japan"

OUTLOOK FOR WAIMEA
IS NOT VERY
HOPEFUL
PROJECT FOR INDEPENDENT WA
TER COMPANY TO BRING SUP
PLY NOT sUCCEssFUL-CoNDI-
TIONs AGAINST PLANTATIONS.

The adjourned special es.iug of the
stockholders of Waimea Sugar Mill
Co., was held in the Castle & Cooke
Assembly room this morning There
was quite a large attendance of stock
holders. The committee consisting Of
Messrs. Gait, Howard and RoweIl re-
ported that they had so far been un-
able to organize a water company, as
had been proposed, for the Du,pose of
conserving and distributing water to
be supplied to the plantation. good
many of the stockholders of Waimea
were willing to take stock in the new
enterprise believing it would be the
means of enlarging the plantation ana
restoring it to a profit paying ESTATE.
Other stockholders would like to aid
in the water undertaking but were Un-
able to do so financially.
1t was stated that unless a supply of
fresh water could be secured for rri-
cation that eventually the salt would
destroy the plantation. The proposal
to organize a water company had lis
basis in the belief that a sufficient
supply of good water could be brought
to the plantation not only to irrigate
the present lands under cultivation, bu.
to irrigate additional lands, thus en-
larging the plantation. AS the plan for
the organization of such water co n
pdny mas not Deen successfully carrie
out as yet, and no other plan has BE ean
brought forward, the whole matter was
left in the hands of the agents Tor
them to see what they could do. 4
statement of the account of the plan
tation company with the agents was
made and the officers of the plantation
We're authorized to give the plantati N
company's note for the amount.
Unless the agents or some one else
is able to bring about means of supply
ing the plantation with a new and addi-
tional supply of fresh water, it is said
the agents will feel that the only thing
to, be done is to take off the present
growing crop and that from the ratoons
at as little expense as possible, but
that additional planting will not be
warranted without considerable in
crease ir thep rice of sugar, of a con-
siderable decrease in the cost of labor
or both ,-,
j. b. Atherton said that what would
be the immediate future of the planta-
ton would probably be determined by
the conditions of the next month or so.
High prices for sugar would enable 1t
to be run at profit under other exist
ing conditions. But present prices of
sugar and high cost of labor was
against the profitable operation of
small plantations.

NOT GUILTY IS
SABA7E'S PLEA
YOUNG WOMAN, CHARGED WITH
DISTILLING, is ALLOWED TO GO
WITHOUT TRIAL-OTRER CASES.

Daisy Nierra, a young woman who
was under Indictment in the federal
court for distilling liquor in violation
of law, was allowed to go this after
noon on her own recognizance. Her
husband, Manuel Vierra took all the
blame on his own shoulders, and en-
tered a plea of guilty. In view of this
action District Attorney Breckons
agreed to allow the young woman 10
go on her own recognizance.
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue will be asked to approve a nole
prosequi in the case of Daisy, while
Manuel will have to serve a term on
the reef. He is to appear in court for
sentence next Monday morning, While
the woman is to appear at the April
term of court, when word will have
been received from Washington. Both
were charged with running okolehao
stills.
Jean Sabate was called to plead to
four indictments of OBTAINING mail
matter, having pleaded not guilty to
one already. He pleaded not guilty in
each case, and the first one was set for
trial tomorrow morning. Tanbara, the
alleged murderer, wAs ordered brought
into court to plead tomorrow morning,
and his case will be set for trial on
Monday. The case of Kawasaki,
charged with Illicit distilling, was set
for trial next Wednesday.
The trial of the Ton Pong case was
resumed, with Deputy Internal Rev
enue Collector Drake on the stand.
Attorney Rawlins questioned him
closely about the tests by which he
reached the conclusion that the seized
| liquor contained alcohol. Drake said
that his own only knowledge was from
the results of the tests with the gov
ernment instruments. What would
you say if it was proved that the liquor
is not alcoholic?" was asked.
Il should say that the government
instruments and tables were wrong,
said Drake He was finally asked to
taste it and after taking a swallow of
okolehao he affirmed that 1t contained
| alcohol. AS it Is about 107 proof, no
delicate taste was required to detect
the intoxicating element.
