PRINCE OFF TO kauai

Prince Jonah Kalanianole, candidate
Of the Republican party for the dele
gateship. Is a man who does not be-
lieve in letting the grass grow under
his feet. After hard fortnight's work
on the Big Island, during which time
he was kept continually on the jump,
he returned to Honolulu on Saturday
and 1t was confidently expected that he
would remain here over Sunday. Such
however, was not to be the case. Learn
ing during the afternoon that the No
eau was to leave for Kauai with load
OF plantation japanese, he made known
his intention of taking passage and
thus saving about three days time. He
got his men together-Judge Archie
Mahaulu, Rev. Stephen L. Desha and
r. II. Makekau (Home Rule represen-
tative at the last session OF the Legis-
lature) and went aboard the steamer.
arriving yesterday morning.
This action on the part of the Prince
is indicative of the character of the
man. He is quick to take advantage
OF any situation which will help him
toward the goal he is striving for
and when his mind is made up to a
thing he leaves no stones unturned to
gain his point.
When the members OF the Territor-
ial Central Committee came together
on Saturday night, II was with the ex-
pectation on the part OF the majority
Of those present that the Prince would
attend and speak on his Hawaii trip.
They we're surprised to hear that he
had gone to Kauai.
The Garden Isle will unquestion-
ably be most glad Of the Princes visit
for the hardest workers have been
writing continually for him to go there.
They have stated in letters that the
natives all over the island were most
anxious to hear him. 1t is already con-
ceded by the most energetic party
workers Of Kauai that the Republicans
will carry that island. However, they
are not satisfied with this. They want
thorough conversion to the princi-
Piles OF Republicanism.
1t is hardly probable that Prince Gu
! pid will again go to Hawaii. The Cen
tral Committee feels that work is ne.
cessary right here on this island and
that the last week or SO should be
spent here and particularly in the
Fifth District. The Prince will bt
back from Kauai on Sunday morning
next and on the Tuesday following he

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Half an
inch of rain fell early yesterday and
threshing will be delayed for a day or two.
A field of wheat three miles from Ashby
took fire the day before and was totally
destroyed, the fire spreading rapidly in
the stubble and the grain burning in
shock The rain will help out pasturage
and corn. Several have finished threshing
and report yields ranging from II to Is
bushels an acre. The grain is of good
quality and will almost all grade No. 1

Albert Lea, Mimi, Aug. 21.-Farmers
have been greatly delayed in stacking by

that much of the grain will grow in the
shock, as some of it was not put up in the
best shape owing to the fact that was
lodged and crinkled. - -..z-.-~

THE IRON MARKET

New York, Aug. 21.--The Iron Age says
Pig iron appears again to be the link
In the chain upon which the heaviest
strain Is falling. The reports from Pitts
burg show that about thirteen furnaces
in the valleys have been forced to bank
on account of scarcity of coke and Chi
cago telegraphs that several furnaces
have been forced to cease production. In
eastern Pennsylvania, additional stacks
have been blown out. The coke scarcity
is not so much a matter Of production as
1t is due to what looks like breakdown
in the transportation, the railroads being
unable to handle the traffic
Under the circumstances, buyers, par
ticularly near the seaboard, are turning
fore and more to foreign sources for their
supplies. A considerable tonnage has
been placed, probably not less than 25, 900
tons-during the past week. This in
cludes Middlesborough foundry iron,
which has sold as low as $3.50 ax-ship
but is now held at from $18.75 to $19; con-
siderable low phosphorous pig and one lot
of 5000 tons Of malleable pig. That the
foreign markets are not responding more
to this demand, in the matter of prices
has caused some comment. Possibly the
simplest explanation is that the pur-
chasers have prevented what might have
otherwise been a serious decline.
I'm some quarters, notably along the
seaboard, founders have bene skeptical
and have not taken hold for 1903. Many
expect the contracts for 1902 to extend
considerably into next year, In view of the
fact that sellers are now far behind their
deliveries. With the possibility of fall
ing back on foreign iron, now offered
much cheaper than domestic, they express
their Willingness to take their chances
They hold that prices cannot go much
higher without seriously checking con-
sumption, and may dedclne somewhat.
There is little change In the steel sit
uation. The falling off in the demand
through the slackneas Of certain lighter
lines Of finished iron and steel, is not
telling much on steel, because the press
tire for the raw material on the part oil
the heavy lines is SO great.a,$ -.
Reports are current Of negotiations in
progress among foreign manufacturers o1
steel rails Our Essen correspondent
states that the Germans and Belgians are
near an understanding and are trying tc
interest the English mills. From othe,
quarters comes the announcement tha,
the present and prospective Canadian
mills are endeavoring to reach an under.
standing with the English producers"
The Minneapolis journal., 1902-08-21

David B. Hill Is hard to explain, the
Courier Journal in an editorial says:
In his recent manifestation Of political
activity Mr.. Cleveland may have been dis
interested man. If he was he made a serious
mistake in supposing that he could contribute
to democratic harmony. But we do not think
he was q disinterested man. On the contrary,
1t is our opinion that he never drew an un
selfish breath in his life; that he goes out
after all there Is in sight, or he does not
go out at all; that he blocked the way of all
sound money democrats in 1896 and that,
hoping for a nomination then, he would not
reappear upon the scene IL he did not hope
for 1t now; and that all his pretentions pos
ing as retired sage and, patriot is but the
crafty and spectacular preference of a man
who has been--like his younger prototype,
