Sound. small schooner. perhaps of 15O
tons, for the purpose of making the
exploration voyage. While on his dis
covery voyage, Captain Rosehill took
samples, but he did not make any ex-
tended survey as to the extent of the
deposits. The samples show 1873 per
cent phosphates. This is a high per-
centage and upon the basis of the sam
pie there have been received offers for
the entire supply that may be taken
from the island.
The intention is to load the schooner
with lumber where it is purchased. and

Must Pay Taxes.

Many people-more particularly Chi
nese-have been under the impression
that they were exempt from the penal
ties incident to non-payment of poll
taxes under Act of the Session Laws
Of 1901. In the act. however, is the
following section, which Collector Pratt
is now bringing into active service:
NO property mentioned in this act
shall be exempt from attachment for
nor from execution issued upon a judg-
ment recovered for the purchase price
therefor, or upon a judgment of fore
closure OF a mortgage thereon. nor for
taxes or fines or any debt due the Ter
ritory Of Hawaii"

| ter; we have no authority left to IL
| to determine il.
| Senator MitchelI-It is not intended
| to change the npmber.s.t all, but siIn
ply to arrange how the terms shall b,
| disposed?
The Cha;rman-Yes.
Governor Dole-,The terms are fixed
by Congress-that is, the terms are 70,
four years, the Senators being elected
in installments of seven and eight, al
ternately; but at the beginning the
two-year men have to be selected by
the Legislature, which was not done.
The Chairman-In this bill you have
named seven Senators who shall go out
at the end Of the two-year term, and
they are those who received the lowest
vote, as ! understand IT?
Governor Dole-Of their respective
districts.
The Chairman-That is the reason
you named them?
Governor Dole-Yes.
The Chairnan-Have you considered
the feasibility of this plan working sat
isfactorily? Are these Senators, for in
stance, satisfied to have us so legis-
late. or would they undertake to con-
test our right to do so? That may not
may have the information.
Governor Dole-They would not con-
test the right of Congress, certainly.
The Chairman-Perhaps not success
fully; but I wondered what their dis
position was.
Governor Dole-I think the only issue
is that the Home Rulers for instance
would have liked to carry out their
plan of arbitrarily selecting these seven
men.
The Chairman-What was their plan?
Governor DoIe-I think their plan
was to retain the majority they held
in the Senate. Was it not. Mr.. Will
cox? That is my impression.
The Chairman-You say the Home
Rulers" had a certain plan. That term
is not very inteiligible to us.
Governor Dole-There are three par
ties in the Hawaiian Islands-the Re
publicans, the Democrats and the Home
Rulers. The Home Rulers are in the
majority in both houses of the Legis-
lature; and in the Senate their major
ity is within one of a two-thirds ma
jority. If they could get that one, it
would give them the power to carry n
vote over a veto.
The Chairman-How many of these
seven who are to go out according to
Rulers. and how many are Democrats
or Republicans?
Governor Dole-In Section 2, Mr..
Paris is Republican and Mr.. Russell
is a Home Ruler-at least he was
elected as a Home Ruler. That makes
one of each Of those parties.
In the Second Senatorial district, Mr..
White is a Home Ruler. That makes
two Home Rulers and one Republican
In the Third district, Mr.. Kanuha is
q Home Ruler, Mr.. Carter is Re
publican and Mr.. Kalauokalani is a
Home Ruler.
The Chairman-In the fourth district
there is another?
Governor Dole-Yes; Mr.. Kahilina is
a Home Ruler.
Senator Burton-This bill would cut
down the majority OF the Home Rulers,
would it not?
Governor Dole-Yes.
The Chairrnan-Five Home Rulers
would go out?
Governor Dole-Yes, five.

New OIL Burner May Arrive.

It was stated on the waterfront last
night that an oil-burner would prob
ably arrive. from San Francisco today
on her way to China, and would MAKE
the call here to reDlenish her oil stor-
ing tanks from the Iwilei tanks. The
name OF the vessel was net mentioned,
but it was thought to BIZ the Dollar

Dollar, formerly the transport Egbert,
which was to have left San Francisco
for China on December 40, under char
ter to Castle Brothers.

The officers of the liner Siberia are
confronted with a problem like that
of the post canteeia. Chinese passen-
gers smoke opium. They do it in their
hunks and make the ship smell like a
den in Chinatown and if bundled out
of there they hide in the cargo and
smoke, thus endangering the ship. The
only way to keep them from opium is
to put them under guard like felons,
watching them night and day. In that
case they will cease to patronize the
line and a big loss of business win sem
sue. To settle the matter the officers
have provided opium rooms where the
Chinese can smoke without endanger-
ing the vessel or annoying other peo-
pie.

Their music is such as God teaches
TO the sea and wind and the bfrds-full
of the tenderest pathos. deep with the
sound of the sea and the high tenor of
the wind. Their love songs need no

know. One sweet song, 'Kanilehua, .

Molokai, with her, and his grief and

spot did not spread. but for many
months that beautiful girl lived among
those dying people. Makia stole her
away, and in a little open boat crossed
the channel to Honolulu. where he hid
her and himself up on the Pail Noun
tain. Tourists found them, told of the
beauty of the girl, and the authorities,
who thought they had been drowned in
trying to escape from Molokai, took her
again from him. This song is the fare

CROSS SADDLE RIDING.

Riding astride, or cross saddle riding,
is slowly working into the fashions of
the Atlantic States. From time to time,
during the last fifty years, daring and
unconventional women have adopted
this method of riding in public parks.
but the attitude of the small boy, the
curb-nan and the staring strollers on
the street has not been kindly. Occa-
sionally, the newspapers have discuss
ed the practice and invited women to
make a trial of it. But the custom of
using the side-saddle has been SO firm
ly fixed that society has promptly de-
clared against it,
Western or the mountain women
have gradually broken through this
custom, and adopted cross-saddle rid
ing because it is safer. and in every
way more convenient, and many East
ern women, who have lived in the
West, would have. adopted it if they
had dared to.
Finally, several of the fashionable
women, belonging to the Meadowhunt
Club Of Long Island have shown how
gracefully woman can appear in this
method of riding, and the hunting
women are won over to it. AS there
are now enough of them banded to-
gether to stand against old conserva-
tive opinions they will shortly estab-
lish the new fashion, and another gem
Grafton will know little of the side-sad-
die.
Colonel Spalding of Kauai. however,
claims that the side-saddle is more
convenient, more attractive, as safe
and more 'lady-like'' than the mans
saddle. He says that, after observing
the women riders of Europe, both in
park and in the hunting field, he de-
cliaed to permit the Hawaiian method
TO be used in his family. Probably
few will agree with him, The best test
OF its comparative value is experience
and it is certain that business women
do not hesitate to adopt cross-saddle
riding.

SHORTAGE OF BEEF IS REAL.

AS early as last fall cattle
men realized that there was
bound to be a scarcity of prime
beef steers this spring, and
some big money is being made
just now. Many cattlemen
stocked up with Texas steers.
Dozens Of commission firms in
the Western markets pur-
chased great droves of these
animals, selling them to own
ers and lessees of ranges on
time
AS security they took chattel
mortgages, and for their risk
they share with the cattlemen
in the enhanced prices. To
hasten the process of fatten-
ing they have not hesitated to
buy corn and hay, and they
feel that at the present prices
they have made big profits.
An additional evidence that
that there is no fictitious ad-
vance in the cattle market,
the prices now being paid for
hogs might be cited. In the
talk over the high price of cat
tie the hog seems to have been
overlooked.
The fact is that the price of
pork on the hoof is nearly dou-
bic now at all of the Western
markets what it was in 1896.
Here are some of the quota
tons at the South Omaha mar
ket that prove this:
