WATER SYSTEM FOR PIONEER
MILL FAST TAKING FORM
Many Tunnels Are Completed and the Supply
Is Beyond txpectation-..Savins

Reports which have come to Hackfeld
& Company. from the Pioneer Mil at
I.ahaina, indicate that the progress
which Is being made with the tunnels
and bitches for the water supply sys-
TEN is So far ahead of all the cdlcula-
lions OF those interested, that its com
pletion Is expected by July Of the com
ing year
This project is one OF the most elab-
crate In the Islands, owing to the fact
that to develop the water supply from
the Honokahou gulch there Is nee
sary a series of tunnels, aggregate
twenty in number and Of varying
length. The longest of these tunnels
is 1000 feet and the second is 1900 feet.
From this they run on down to 400 and
500 feet which is perhaps the customary
distance that the hill has to be bored
f0r the purpose of conducting the water
to the bitches which will wind about
the heads Of the gulches.
Counting these varied windings, the
ditch which will convey the water to
the uplands of the plantation, will be
in the neighborhood of twelve miles in
length and will bring to the cane fields
This will not be the carrying capacity
of the ditch though, as it will be built

there is always the fuller flow and this
will give the fields an ample supply of
water. In case it is not NEEDED imme-

80. 600 600 gallons on the Lahaina slopes,
which reservoirs will be kept filled all

UNITED STATES
AND VENEZUELA

WASHINGTON, December 4.-The
most important statement made by this
Government as to the intention of
Great Britain and Germany to force
Venezuela to a settlement. was made
today by one of its highest officials,
who said
The United States has nothing to
fear from this display of foreign force"
This means that the United States
will insist that the carrying out of the
Anglo-German program shall be on
terms to be prescribed by the United
States. Those terms will be made
known when the combined German
and British fleet appears off La
Guayra.
These limitations will certainly be
put upon Great Britain and Germany
There must be time limit to any lien
established on the Venezuelan revenue.
There must be only constructive oc-
cupation of Venezuelan custom-houses.
Venezuela will not be permitted, even
If she desired, to ALLEVIATE or lease any
of her territory for coaling purposes
or for any other purpose to Germany,
tGtdJ bIltdIH VI any UlHti IoitISl IA
tions. The United States will in no
way accept responsibility for the pay
ment of an indemnity which is eff 4
| by force of arms. The confidence Of
| the Administration today as outlined
| by the official whose view is given
above arises from the belief that neith-
/ er Germany or Great Britain will pro
woke the active hostility Of this gov
ernment by raising any new issues as
to revenue, and least of all by making
any demand which this government
would have to resist by force on the
| spot.
1t is believed, however, that Great
Britain and Germany will strain TO the
limit the forbearance of this govern
ment. Everybody here believes that
the situation is pretty well loaded with
international explosives and that the
detonation may be heard in the neal
-. future.

GASOLINE BOAT
TO HUNT WHALES

SAN FRANCISCO, December A
type of marine architecture hitherto
unknown in Arctic waters is to be sent
north this season to engage in whal-
ing. The vessel is the gasoline schoon-
er Monterey. Never before has YES
sci equipped with gasoline engine
ventured into the ice The innovation
in whaling vessels is an experiment
and doubt is expressed as to the work
OF the boat in the icy regions. Whai-
ing men insist that it will be almost
impossible successfully to hunt the le-
viathans in a gasoline schooner. They
state that the noise created by the
working of the engine will warn the
whales of danger long before the crew
can come within striking distance.
The ability of the Monterey to buck the
ice with her motive power is also
questioned.
The Monterey has been running on
the Coast for some time. She Will be
fitted out for her new undertaking an1
will sail in few weeks. Captain Fo-
ley, formerly of the whaling bark
Gayhead, is said to be in charge of the
expedition.
The Monterey is the third addition
to the whaling fleet this season. The
schooner Morning Star will also be
fitted out, as will the schooner Bonan-
"a. The steam whalers will get away
about the middle OF this month.

WORK EARLY
The Land for Military
Site Has Been
Obtained.

-Four acres Of land out of the entire
all that stand I'm the way of the acqui-
sition of the property by the United
states for military purposes. Ii Is ex-
pected that there will be settlement
also OF this small leasehold and that
the report upon the agreement made can
DE forwarded to Washington. for the
consideration OF the Secretary of War,
on the Coptic leaving Friday.
The offer of the Dowsett Estate for
about one-half of the leasehold interest
was accepted by the commission which
Is empowered to act, and the price of
the leases held by the Star Dairy has
also been approved of by Captain Will
Hanson but it is conditional upon the
delivery of the entire tract. Four acres
of the leasehold of the Star Dairy Co.
Is at present occupied as 4 homestead
by Mrs. Grace and there is said to be
some difficulty in obtaining a cancella-
ton of this lease. The consummation
Of the agreement with the Star Dairy
depends upon the latter giving a good
deed to the Grace property, but it is
thought that the matter will be ami
cably settled, without recourse to con-
demnation proceedings.
If the military site is obtained without
the necessity of action in the courts,
the federal authorities expect that work
will be begun in improving 1t by the
first of July.

AGREE UPON
NEW METHOD
hawaii's Sugar Chemists
Finish Their
Work.

The Hawaiian Sugar Chemists Assoc
citation adjourned at noon yesterday
after n two days session at which an
agreement was reached as to provis-
ional method TO be recommended for
determining the sugar extraction dur
ing the coming crop. While the basis
for future work was agred upon the
details are still to be made up and viii
be printed in pamphlet form for the use
of the sugar chemists on the various
plantations. This work will occupy the
committee three or four days and the
new method will be placed in the hands
Of the chemists in plenty Of time for
use on the crop now being cut and
milled.
The wide variance between the results
obtained on the various plantations
with oftentimes the same kind OF ma
chinery and the same methods has al
ways been matter of surprise among
the plantation managers. The Sugar
Chemists. Association was formed to
remedy this difficulty and the first
meeting since organization was held
yesterday and Monday in the rooms of
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Associa-
ton.
Reports were received from chemists
on twenty different plantations as to
the methods of sugar extraction in use
on the various estates, and while these
differed in many particulars there was
not much variance in the manner of
work. Discussion of these papers occu-
pied the attention OF the chemists for
the greater part Of the meeting and a
provisional method was agreed upon to
be Incorporated in a bulletin to be is
sued under the direction of the secre-
tary, L. c. Shorey.
A number of important committees
were selected also to have charge of the
various branches Of work in the sugar
houses. These are:

SEATTLE, December 4.-Nome mail

state that Mrs. Barnard, the teacher
of the government school at Cape
Prince of Wales, has made an import
ant chronological discovery. She found
in the bluffs overlooking the village OF

where in past ages the Inhabitants
withstood the marauders from the ST.

These Notifications consist of a num-
Der of holes, equi-distant from each

from the water The holes, partly NIL
ed with mold and accumulation OF
years, are still large enough to hide
several men in each. stone image
stands in front of some of these pits.
Some of the old natives remember or
have learned by tribal tradition of the
conflicts that took place between the
Siberian natives and the Alaskan Eski-
mos. The natives of Siberia were war
like and offensive; those of Alaska
were peaceable and fought only in de-
fense. To resist the invasion the Alas
kans constructed subterranean rooms
with secret entrance. This was the
place of safety of the women and chill
dren when the alarm was sounded that
the enemy was approaching.
The men sought the pits on the hill
side, where the stone images, dressed
like men. were used as decoys. Inc
invaders were allowed to approach
within easy range when a volley ol
spears and arrows from the pits wouio
put them to flight.

show that for that period the running
of the pumps cost only $1,000 This
plantation now has system of bitches
which gather and distribute the waters
which fall in the gulches, covering
some 10 miles in extent, and these have
been highly valuable in the recent rain

waters over a large expanse of terri

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

The following market letter is fur

Grain Commission merchants, 8
Chamber of Commerce, Minneapolis.
10 Board of Trade, Duluth.
June 17.-During the past week
the northwest suddenly awoke to the
fact, which had temporarily ignored,
that northwest supplies of old wheat
are very low and steadily and rapidly
decreasing and that new spring wheat
will not be in the market for three
months. The July option was at one
time during the week, 6 cents per
bushel over the September and is now
5 cents over. There was talk a few
days ago, that the movement of winter
wheat would be early and large but
that does not now seem probable.
Interior millers are taking large
quantities of the new crop and a large
export business is being done by way
of Galveston. The price F. o. B.

Carbondale, ILL.,, June 1.-THE race
war which has been in progress at Ell
dorado, Ill, since May 80, when a mob
attacked the colored normal and in
dustrial institute, a school modelled
after the celebrated Tuskegee, Ala,
school, still continues. The homes of
colored citizens have been stoned,
warnings sent to the occupants to
leave the vicinity and shots fred into
their homes late at night. Many,
through fear, have left. Those who
have sacrificed their homes, and in
some instances their crops, are:
Charles Num-, w. j. Gibbons, Mrs.
Nary Oliver, a widow; William Glib
bons and Mrs. Nancy Allen. There re-
main only five families, and, two of
them will leave at once. Sunday night
mob visited Rev. Peter Green, pastor
of the African Methodist church, and
stoned his house. Some of the white
residents profess to fear that colored
labor will be used in the mines which
are being opened in that vicinity. JEFF
ferson D. Aston, president of the or
NAL, has been chosen at the head of the
school for life, according to the incor-
poration on file at Springfield, and
against him an intense feeling exists.
The board of trustees, of whom Dr..
Mitchell, a white physician of Harris
burg. is president, will consider both
the removal of the school and the
choosing of a new president at the
coming meeting, June 81. Gov. Yates
has been appealed to for protection.

DEVILS LAKEI INTER- OCEAN FRIDAY JUNE 20, leo1.

2 cents over the Chicago July which
admits of the wheat being landed in,
Liverpool much cheaper that it can be
shipped from Chicago by way Of the
Atlantic coast. Cash wheat continues
at the former premium over the op-
ton. On this account it is argued
tnat the shorts are paying carrying
charges. The condition of winter
wheat is not very promising but it
should be remembered that the win
ter crop is made and the spring crop
cannot improve but can easily de-
terlorate. Too much rain has fallen
during the past week interfering
with harvesting in the south and
southwest and causing spring wheat
to grow too rank. The weather is
now the chief influence and if it con-
tinues unfavorable there is likely to
be a material advance in prices.
Northwest stocks decreased about H.
$50, 600. The domestic visible sup
ply decreased 9, 1881, 900 bushels and

street decreased 4,611, 600 bushels.
