leo. The presence In the
Imperial City of this par
ticular embassy, consisting of two men
with the high-sounding names OIL Don
Jose de Teresa Miranda "a near reia-
tive of President Diaz), and Manuel ue
Lizardi, means that there is now a
complete renewal of official relations
between Austria Hungary and Mexico,
which were broken off thirty-nve
years ago. The recent reception OF
the Mexican ambassador was, now
ever, preceded by the conservation Oh
an eXpiatory chapel at Quertaro,
erected to the memory of Macmillan,
and to which the emperor Francis Jo-
seph sent a magnificent altar piece, as
a memorial of his martyred brother.
This new state of things naturally
brings once more before the public eye
the noted Mexican city, where a gen.
Grafton ago was played the last act OF
a tragedy.
There is still living in Vienna an
old, energetic, little man who was an
eyewitness to the terrible event, the
Hapsburger MaXimillian's cruel death.
This man, Prof. Won Busch, was the
only European the emperor took with
him in his suite when he left the
Mexican capital to go to Quertaro.
Prof. Won Busch was therefore able
to give to the world n graphic and
authentic account of the last days
of this short-lived and noble mon
arch.
According to Prof Won Busch's
statements, Maximillian from the very
beginning played a thankless role,
surrounded as he was by his treacher-
GUS assistant emperor and his not
too unselhsh ministers. Marshal Ba-
zaine appears, though, to have been
the greatest enemy of all, and
Prof. Won Busch accuses him, in his
book Sanctioned by Napoleon 1lI).
of grossly violating the contract by
the withdrawal at most critical
time of the French troops, which,
according to the convention of Mira
mer, had been placed at the service
of the emperor of Mexico.
This Mexican expedition. how
ever, seems not only in its ending but
throughout the whole affair much
more like an adventure than anything
else. Through it liberal prince be-
came the tool of the Tuilleries, by
allowing himself to be forced upon
a foreign people who had no wish
for a foreign monarch Macmillan
found on his accession an empty state
treasury and in this beggared condi-
ton his ministers allowed him to
undertake the expedition to Quertaro.
Consequently, during its siege, he suf-
fered many hardships and experienced
untold anxieties. He waited for
money and troops, but neither was
sent to him from the city of Mexico.
And to add to all his other troubles.
a perfidious follower wound himself
successfully into the emperor's conf
dence. who unfortunately. mistook
treachery for faith. But his greatest
bitterness was against the French.
And only a few days before his execu-
ton, in a conversation with Won
Busch, the emperor dwelt with sad
ness on the infamy of Bazaine, who
not only had shown himself indiffer-
ent to the fate of Mexico, but who
also before his departure from the
capital had dishonesty sold the fur
niture belonging to the government
and had turned the state equipage-
the carriage of Santa Anna-into
money; and who. it was also discov-
cred, had sold weapons and ammuni-
ton to those fighting against the en-
peror. But in forsaking his post

The theory that great men are usu-
ally born in the cold half of the year,
from October to March inclusive, gains
a point through the fact that President
Roosevelt first saw the light in Octo-
Der, says Rene Bache in the Saturday
Evening Post Nineteen presidents of
the United States came into the world
in these months, while only six were
born between April l and September
80.
Following is the record
January-McKinley, Fillmore.
ry-Washington, w. II. Har-
rison, Lincoln.
March - Madison, Jackson, Tyler,
Cleveland.
April-Jefferson Monroe. Buchanan,
Grant.
May-None.
July-None.
August-Benjamin Harrison.
September-None.
October John Adams, Hayes, Ar
thur, Roosevelt.
November-Polll, Taylor, Pierce, Gar

December-Van Buren, Johnson.
1t will be observed that only two
presidents were born in the FIVE
months from May to September inclu-
sive. February, on the other hand.
which is said to have produced many
OF the worlds greatest men, gave us
Washington and Lincoln.
An inspection of the birthday record
of the new congress affords some inter-
esting data in this connection. In the
brief autobiographies published in the
Congressional Directory, which are fur
nished by the legislators themselves,
fifty-five representatives and senators
refrain from mentioning the month in
which they were born. This is only a
small proportion of the whole. how
ever, and. taking the statements of the
others. it appears that the greatest
number of members of the lower house
first saw daylight in March-thirty-
seven in all, including the speaker. The
smallest number, seventeen. made their
debut in April.
1t does not seem to be the case, how
ever, that winter enjoyed any marked
superiority in the way of opportunities
for giving birth to the members of the
present congress, inasmuch as, out of
the whole number reporting on the
subject 1913 came into the world be-
tween Oct. l and March 81. and 191 be-
tween April l and Sept. 30-a differ
ence of only seven in favor of the cold
part of the year.
From this fact the conclusion must
be drawn that either the winter birth
day theory is Incorrect or else that the
members of the new congress, gener-
ally speaking, are not really and truly
great men. One naturally accepts the
former alternative rather than a belief
so painful as the latter would be.
A study of the autobiographies above
referred to yields much information of
curious interest. Forty-two members

tives) were brought up on the farm.

have been practically carried out, there
being but a few nominal changes

The second or 1908 crop of the

the mill will be for that year.
Changes at the Plantation.
1t was thought by many that cane
planted at the higher elevations would
not stand high in sucrose, but the
evenness of growth and general re-
suits are highly satisfactory.
Lately several changes in the mill
hands have taken place. Harvey
Wicks, formerly engineer at the Ho-
nokaa Sugar Company, is now superin.
tending engineer, while N. McQuaid,
formerly chemist at the Honomu mill,
has assumed that position at the olaa.
The boiling Of the sugar is in the
hands of II. w. Fincke and G.. Fro.
boese, both of whom have had years Of
experience in leading sugar mills in
the Hawaiian Islands.
And so the work of manufacturing
sugar goes steadily on, each and every
department of the plantation being in

years ago. He has resided perma
nently on the Island of Hawaii for the
past twenty-five years. following the
industry Of raising sugar cane for the
entire period. For twelve years he
was connected with the Hawaiian Ag
ricultural Company at Pahala and for
seven years with the Hilo Sugar Com
pany near Hilo, where he introduced
the system of V fumes.
In Charge Of 1000 Men.
Mr.. McRae has been identified with

ception, three years ago, and has
watched its growth and development
day by day, having under his direct
charge the labor of 1000 men.
As head overseer the work Of water
development and construction Of an
extensive flume system for conveying
the sugar cane to the mill became a
part os his multifarlous duties.
Mr.. McRae has always been a strong
advocate Of the possibilities OF the
Olaa plantation, pinning his faith in
its grand future by investing largely
in the stock of the company.
The present sugar results from the
cane in the mill must certainly be very
gratifying to this gentleman, who GER
tainly has labored increasingly to
bring about the present conditions.
