THE MENTION
OF JUDGE ESTEE
Especial to the AdvertiserD

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March S.
There has been a great deal of gos-
sip of late about a new Secretary of
the Interior. Mr.. Hitchcock has Off
clany denied his intention to retire
from the cabinet. But the politicians
have not taken that word as final for
Mr.. Hitchcock is very unpopular with
a large contingent i'm Congress, and the
President knows it.
During the present week some Of the
Wyoming men started a boom for Mr.
willis Van Deyenter, n Wyoming man,
and now Assistant Attorney General.
This was after Senator Plat of Connec-
ticut had approached the President in
behalf of friend of his from the East.
The President told some of his politi-
cal callers that, when change was to
be made, the new cabinet officer must
come from the far West or from the
Pacific Coast States. Later the Presi-
dent gave some one the intlmation that
Mr.. Van Deventer would not do at all,
and then boom was started by Sem
ator Kearns OF Utah, and others, for a
Salt Lake City banker. When his name
was mentioned to the President he said
he had decided, when a change was
made, TO select his cabinet officer for
the Interior Department from the Pa
cific Coast. Thereupon there was some
thing of an agreement To press the in
terests of Judge NJ. NJ. Estee, now in
Hawaii. 1t is probably safe TO say that
the President will have his name under
consideration whenever Mr. Hitchcock
is ready II step down.

CHILL PEPPERS.

Director Jared G. Smith, of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, has re-
ceived from the Washington depart
ment some valuable information rela-
tive to a market for peppers. which
had been requested by the Island peo-
pie.
The red pepper grows readily in Ha-
wall. and there have been numerous
inquiries as to n sale for them. One
of the farmers of the Wahiawa colony
thinks of raising it on an extensive
scale If he can be assured of a market
for his product. Director Smith has
been in correspondence with the De-
partment of Agriculture for some time
in regard to this, and by the last
steamer received a reply from the
botanical bureau, of which the follow
ing is the substance.
Peppers are used most extensively
by pickle manufacturers. l inclose
herewith a copy of a letter from Stroh-
meyer * Arp Co. in New York, in re-
gard to the use of peppers, and meth
DDS of packing them. | wrote to ID. NJ.
Ferry II CO., Detroit in regard to
shipping peppers from Hawaii, and re-
ceiNed a reply stating that the pep
pers OF the chill or tabasco type fer
mentcd and spoiled very quickly, and it
would doubtless require considerable
care to dry them for shipment. He
thought that it would be possible to
pick them before they We're ripe and
pack them in brine as cucumbers are
packed for shipment from the sailing
stations.
y few years ago the Southern Cali
fornia Packing Company, of Los An
gCles, was engaged in packing various
kinds of fruits and preserves, proba-
bly, including peppers, but | have no
definite information in regard to this
company at present. II would doubt
less save freight rates If you could Sc
cure a market for the peppers on the
Pacific Coast. Mr.. w. w. Tracy, who
has charge of our varletal tests, states
that the high prices OF peppers is not
due to the difficulty of growing them.
but to the very disagreeabIe work of
picking them. The juice produces blis-
tiers on the hands and arms OF those
picking or handling them.
LESTER II. DEWEY,
Assistant Botanist.
The letter inclosed stated that the
peppers could be packed either in salt
brine or forwarded dry.

PEKING, March 1.-THE Chinese
government has presented to United
States Minister Conger strong memo
rial against the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion law by the United
States. The government here particu-
larry objects to the exclusion OF Chinese
from the Philippine and Hawaiian ISL
ands, representing that the Chinese had
acquired extensive commercial inter-
ests there and We're closely connected
with the Islands by family ties, so that
repression of free Intercourse would re-
suit in peculiar hardships.
