Shamokin, Pa, March 24-The resolu- ton presented at today's session of the United Mine Workers of America by the special committee appointed Saturday made a provisional strike declaration and was unanimously adopted. The resolu- ton provides that an appeal be made to the executive committee of the industrial department of the national civic federa- ton in an effort to avert a strike.
 President Mitchell said;
 T am free to confess strike is immi- nent."
 Situation Is Gloomy.
 Shamokin, Pa, March 24.-Less the ef- forts of the civic federation are effective with the coal operators, 1t is more than likely that a repetition of the struggle of 1900 will occur in the Anthracite re- zion. In that year 10000 employees of the Anthracite mines were on strike for six weeks The convention today of dis tricts Nos. 1. ' and g. United Mine Work CTS of America, which districts comprise the entire Anthracite field, made a pro- vlsional strike declaration, leaving the date to be decided by the executive boards of the three districts.
 Should a strike occur as a result of to- days declaration over 1440O0 mine work CTS would be rendered idle. Of this num- Der nearly 120,000 are on the membership rolls of the union. the duties of the re- mainder being of a character which rem ders them ineligible to membership.

He who stands with me against these things is my com rade, no matter what he thinks or ever thought about silver or gold. He who would deny a place by his side to fight them must either be very perverse or very blind. Let us cross no bridges till we come to them. But already we can see far enough ahead to take our reck- oning.

 Lewis Nixon Speaks.
 Lewis Nixon declared that the Demo- crats of New York had made up their minds to stop fighting one another and turn their energies against that great opposition party which so often had achieved success through the dissensions in the Democracy. The Democratic par ty of New York, he said, promised itself to regain the confidence of the people and once having regained 1t to retain 1t. He was satisfied there was renais- sance of Democratic opposition along constitutional lines and the Democratic party would show the country that it could be trusted with the management of affairs.

 Patrick's conduct throughout, Mir. Moore said, was that of an honorable and innocent man.

Have you doubt that Jones Is a liar or that old man Rice died a natural death? :? We have presented you our case.

 No Trouble in West Virginia.
 Fairmont, W. Va, Marcn 24.-It has been reported that the West Virginia coal miners will go on strike soon but there are no indications in northern West Virginia of labor troubles or dissatisfac- tion. In the Fairmont region where 5000 men are employed in the mines, the ut most good feeling prevails between em- ployers and employees. There is no organ ization among the miners here and they are earning good wages. The strike ru- nor appears to be without foundation.

DID WRIGHT GO
TO SECURE FUNDS?
Rumor That Former Treasurer Is
Seeking Cash in San
Francisco.

The latest rumor in connection with
the Wright case is that the absconding
treasurer may return on his own accord
upon the Alameda, which is due to ar
rive from San Francisco on Friday
According to this story Wright seeing
the impossibility of raising funds in
Honolulu to make good his shortage
took the trip on the Alameda with the
expectation of fixing things up in San
Francisco, and then returning to the
islands to make settlement. The
weak part of this report is the fact
that Wright's personal and business
friends are mostly in Hawaii and 1t
would have been much easier to
straighten the matter out here before
his departure. Another string to the
same report is that Wright expected to
get some assistance from Mr. Jas H
Boyd who was at San Francisco. and
who is an old and intimate friend OF
the treasurer.
Supt. Boyd may return on the Ala
media, he certainly having received in
formation enough of the affairs in his
department to warrant the feeling that
his presence was required in Honolulu.
If he is not on the Alameda then the
next boat should bring him, for on the
Sierra was sent a request by Governor
Dole for his immediate return. This
letter could not have been received in
time for departure on the Alameda's
present trip, but it should have been
received by Mr.. Boyd in plenty of time
TO allow of his return upon the Sierra
which is due here October 22nd.

ton in the vicinity of gardens is obvf-
Gus. The larvae feed at night and rest
during the day beneath the surface of
the ground, but VIII invariably crawl
beneath any rubbish lying about. All
such rubbish should be cleared away
and burned. Clean cultivation is high
" important.
1.-THE burning over of grass lands no
doubt greatly lessons the number of
these pests
One farmer in Hawaii, Mr.. Holder
of Waikiki, protects his crops largely by
ditching. This is the method most gen
orally advised by Experiment Stations
in the States. The cultivated area is
surrounded by ditch several inches in
depth with sides perpendicular. In the
bottom of the ditch about every ten feet
a hole is made, like post-hofe. The
worms fall first into the ditch and
crawling along fall into the holes, from
which they cannot escape, or while still
in the ditch they might be killed by
crushing or an application of kerosene
oil.
Grass lands that are fenced in from
stock have been sprayed with mix
ture of Paris Green and water at the
rate of ID. of P. G. to so gals. of wa
ter and reports have been made that
this served to check the pests.
Vegetables are also treated in this
manner but the strength must not be
great enough for the poison to injure
the foliage and an application should
not be made if the plants, like cabbage
cauli1ower, lettuce, etc, are to be eat
en- shortly as food.
Food poisons have recently received
much attention as a means of fighting
many pests. Favorable reports have
been received from several stations up
on this method against cut-worms.
One food-bait or poison is freshly cut,
succulent plants dipped in Paris Green
and water and strewn about in infested
places. These become dry after day
and cease to be of use.
Poisoned bran is the bait most COM
monty used. This formula consists of
Paris Green or white arsenic 1 h., bran
from 10 lbs. to 20 lbs, ID. of sugar and
just enough water to moisten the mass.
This is put in piles of about one tea
spoonful about the field or when put
ting out young plants they are sur
field is large a dry food poison can be
made by adding 1 ID. of poison to about
20 lbs. of middlings and distribute it in
rows up and down the field about ten
feet apart by means of an ordinary
seed-drin. 1t is well to make the appli-
cation before the worms put in an ap-
pearaHce.
by means of sharpened stick,
such as a broom handle, holes about
one foot in depth can be made about
young plants. The worms in crawling
about will tumble into them and be IN
able to crawl out"
Mr.. Van Dine brought back with him
a number of live specimens in bottles
and experiments will be made at the
station as to the best methods for ex-
terminating the pests.

MUST PAY
FOR GUANO
Royalty Must Be Paid
On Ceylon's Lost
Cargo.

Hackfeld & Co. will be compelled to
pay the royalty of fifty cents per ton
on the guano taken from Laysan Is
land, and which went down with the
old bark Ceylon a few months ago. 1t
will be remembered that the boat had
been heavily loaded with the fertilizer
and was well on its way to Honolulu
on the return trip when the vessel
sprung leak, and the crew was COM
relled to take refuge in the small boats
end put back to Laysan Island.
Hackfeld & Co. made a request to
Land Commissioner Boyd that the roy
atty upon the sunken cargo be RENTED
ard the matter was referred to Attor-
ney General Dole. Yesterday Mr.. Boyd
received from the Attorney General the
following opinion, in which it is held
that there can be no exemption:
Territory of Hawaii
Office of the Attorney General,
Honolulu, H. L, Oct. 6. 1902
Honorable E. S. Boyd, Commissioner Of
Public Lands:
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your re-
quest for my opinion whether the gov
eminent can comply with the request
of H Hackfeld & Co., Ltd, that the
royalty of fifty cents per ton on car
go of guano lost at sea may be remit
ted.
The license for taking phosphates
and guano from Laysan and Lisiansky
Islands provides that after two years,
which time has long since expired, the
licensees and their assigns shall pay
Inc Hawaiian government "a royalty
of fifty cents per ton for each ton re-
moved"
There is no room for a possible doubt
that the royalty accrues when the qua
no is taken from the island. Its trans
portation is at the risk of the lessees.
The principle is the same as if John
Doe bought a watch at a jewelry store
and lost it OF his way home; the loss
would be his and not the jewelers..
Very truly yours,
(Signed) E. P. DOLE,
Attorney General.
