TELLS OF YEARS
WORK IN HAWAII
Director True's Report on Asri-
cultural Experimental Study
in Territory.

The annual report of a. C. True, di-
rector of Experiment Stations. has
been published and deals to some ex-
tent with the Hawaiian Experiment
Station, under the supervision of Jar
cd G.. Smith. In its reference to Ha-
waii the report gives a history of the
local station and the work which has
been done up to the present time
Reference is made to the Importance
of taro study, and the statement is
made that the price of the native food
has increased five hundred per cent be-
cause of the blight which affects it.
Attention is directed to the nigh
prices of poultry, pigs and dairy prod
ucts and it is urged that with proper
study of conditions Hawaii should moi
only not import cattle or dairy prod
ucts. but instead be able to supply tbs
Oriental markets.
Tie cultivation of coffee * referred
t. as having cost the Territory $10,000,-
900, but the prediction is ventured that
the coffee industry will yet succeed,
and will help bring the small farmer
to the islands. Mr.. Smith in his report
to the director advises study Of the use
of fertilizers and of the drainage queS-
ton.
Concluding the report says:
Investiga tions in forestry are much
to be desired but these cannot be un-
dertaken by the station without con-
siderable increase in its resources: and
in any case, whatever Investigations
the station might undertake in this di-
rection should be done in cooperation
with the Bureau of Forestry. Regard
ing this subject, Mr.. Smith makes the
following statements:
Many of the native woods of this
group are extremely valuable from a
commercial standpoint and a consider
able trade in these woods, notably koa
and sandal, at one time flourished l
would recommend that the entire back
bone of each main mountain chain of
each of the islands be set apart in for
est reserves under the Federal Gov
ernment, in order that the native for
ests may be protected and preserved
and that a modern and legal system
of forest conservation may be carried
out The sugar plantations all depend
directly or indirectly on the wooded
mountain slopes for their water supply
and it is due to their owners that some
thing should be done to check the fur
ther destruction of the native forests,
and also to replant large areas with
trees (native and foreign) which shall
in the future become commercially VAL
liable.
Considering the variety of subjects
for investigation. the annual appropri-
alton for the maintenance of the Ha-
waii experiment. station should be not
less than $500 To properly equip it
with buildings, apparatus, implements,
live stock, etc. a special appropriation
of $4,000 is very much needed. 1t was
hoped that the Legislature of the Ter
ritory would follow the example of the
other States and Territories in supple
menting the national funds for the
and equipment of the sta
ton, but though measures looking to
this end were introduced they failed to
pass.

DESERTED OR DROWNED.
A Sailor of the Cruiser Protet Is
Being Looked for

The officers of the French cruiser
Protet were engaged yesterday in a
search for one of the quartermasters
who has been missing from the war
ship since Monday. Some apprehension
was at first thought that the man
might have been drowned in the har-
Dor. but in what manner he would have
fallen into the water they were unable
to determine. 1t was also thought that
the man might have deserted. The
search was being diligently conducted,
and living or dead, they hope to find
some trace of him before the vessel
sails for Acapulco tomorrow.

of play may be expected. There were
several hard tasks in the making of
the selections for the several places on
the first team. The men selected in some
instances never had shown as great
brilliancy of play as others, but there
were other qualities which had to be
taken into account. Some men there
were who had been showing finely in
the game hitting hard and straight
and riding fast, but when it came to
making a careful estimate of the play
of the various men. in their positions
and in connection with the others play
ing with them, the task of making the
selections was all the harder. Some of
the most brilliant Individual players of
the entire club were found upon anal
ysiS to have been the least effective in
team play and of the least value to the
others. This meant that there was to
be a selection on the basis of superior
ity in understanding position, and the
No. / who in the future devotes him
self to hitting instead of riding off, and
the man whose efforts with the club
seem to be devoted simply to showing
how far he can drive and not how
safely, or to what position, will find
that he is not progressing toward the
head team.

FRUIT rEDDLER ARRIVES.
italian Vendor With Basket Makes
Appearance on the Streets.

Modernization is making itself felt
here. The latest addition to the city's
street life is the Italian >fruit peddler.
He has come with his basket, just as
he is known in the States, selling or
anges and apples, and all for the cheap
est price, too.
The advance guard of the Latin in
vasion was seen yesterday making his
rounds upon King street, with every
appearance of being at home. and as
his basket was not full by any means,
there seemed to have been some sue
cess attending his venture.
There is now lacking only the street
piano of the East and the organ and
monkey of the West, to give TO the
streets complete metropolitan appear
ance and the air all the unearthly
sounds which go to make up the most
cosmopolitan of cities.

HONOLULU
INVESTORS
A California Company in Which
Many honolulans Are Con.
cerned.

There are so many local investors in
the Realty Syndicate of Oakland, Cal.
that this article from the Chronicle
will be of interest in Honolulu:
OAKLAND, January 20.-Frank c.
Havens, manager of the Realty Syndi-
cate. the Oakland Transit Company
and the new corporation which pro-
poses to give Oakland and San Fran
cisco a new ferry system, returned to-
day from a hurried trip to Washington.
He says that while he was in Washing
ton he secured a permit from the War
Department to construct the pier which
his company proposes to use iIicon-
nection with its new ferry system.
According to Mr.. Havens, this step
was not necessary. yet out of an abun
dance of caution it was decided to ask
the permission of the War Department.
The request, he says, was formally
made on December 26th, and was
granted as soon as it could make the
necessary rounds of red tape demand
ed by the government. This pier is to
be run out from Emeryville on the line
of the old Smith wharf.
The bill, which was introduced. and
which, if adopted, would allow the new
company terminal privileges on Goat
Island, has not as yet been acted upon,
though in the opinion of Mr.. Havens
this will not meet with any serious op-
position. The pier which it is proposed
to build, and for which written permits
sion was received by todays mail, will
run out to the line established by the
government for such piers. From that
point it is proposed to reach Goat ISL
and by means of a steel tube or sub
way.
For a week past a pile driver has
been at work sinking piles along the
line where the tube will run. These
piles have been driven for the purpose
of aScertaining the nature of the for
nation through which the tube will
have to run. AS soon as this work is
completed plans for the tube Will be
put under way. In the meantime the
pier is 10 be built. and in the event
the terminal privilege on Goat Island
is denied the ferry system will be op-
Grated from the Emeryville pier.
Rails have already been purchased
for the cross-t town road which is to run
on Fortieth street, and act as a feeder
for the new ferry system. This road is
to run in such a way that it can take
passengers from any of the Syndicate
roads to the ferry. If the plan is car
projectors of the enterprise, it will
travel between this city and San Fran

Federal Appointments Unsatisfac-
tory.

The Talbot Times and the Crisfeld Leader,
the leading Republican papers on the Eastern
Shore, are not pleased with the Federal ap-
pointments in Maryland. They believe Nc
Comas has blundered, and the blunder may
cost him his seat in the United States Senate.
Not only will McComas suffer, these journals
believe, but the party as well.
The Crisfeld Leader, of last Saturday, thus
speaks Of the appointments and their effect
The President has at last yielded to the
whims of Senator McComas and sent in the
names for the Maryland Federal offices.
From the press of the State-on the western
shore, in southern Maryland, the city of Bal
timore and on the eastern shore-there seems
to be but one conclusion drawn, and that is
that Mr.. McCoraas has made one of those
political blunders that have wrecked the for
tunes of many others before him. His term
in the Senatewil expire in a short time, and
it is but natural to suppose that he will seek
a reelection. How can he now hope to sue
coed 2 Surely his treatment of Congressman
jackson will lose him the support of the east
ern shore and his friend from Dorchester will
be powerless to aid him. He will get no sup
port from Mr.. Mudd's district, and it is doubt
ful if the little sop grudgingly thrown to the
Master people in Baltimore will benefit him
in the least 1t is evident to everyone that
our Senator in this affair has played about as
poor game of politics, both for himself and
for the party, as was played in Dorchester
last fall, by which the State was lost. As far
as he is Individually concerned, fhe is pleased
with what he has accomplished, no one will
attempt to deny him his pleasure. But what
of the party he processes to represent? His
action leaves it in a sorry plight, and 1t is
because of this that he well deserves the con-
domination that will be heaped upon him.

Company, otherwise the Sugar Trust, for per-
forming similar services on behalf of that
organization.
The ADVOCATE has received circulars and
other literature from F. B. Thurber, but they
found resting place in the waste basket. We
believed that the Sugar Trust would be the
chief beneficiary from reciprocal trade rela-
tons with Cuba, and have therefore not ia
yored the bill before Congress. We believed
the United States, in sacrificing their sons
and expending many millions of dollars, be-
sides adding large permanent expenditure
for pensions, had done enough for Cuba. We
did not believe we should go further and add
practical free trade with sugar producing
country to aid powerful Sugar Trust and
work injury to the sugar beet growers.
We were not prepared, however, for the
evidence that the United States Military Gov
ernor of Cuba was using the funds of Cuba to
further the scheme of the Sugar Trust. Roose-
velt's position in favor of reciprocity was
natural, for trusts are the natural result OF a
protective tariff, and Trusts are the backbone
of the Republican party; but we did not sup
pose the Administration would sanction the
use of public fuads to aid the Sugar Trust.

A Death-Dealing Cyclone in Central
Illinois.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, June 11.-Stretching
across pathway 100 miles in width and devas
tating territory fully 200 miles long extend
ing from Livingston county on the north to
McCoupn county on the south and leaving its
mark clear across the face of Central Illinois,
a cyclone last night inflicted a property loss
which will aggregate millions Of dollars and
cost a dozen lives.
The bruut of the storm fell upon Mclean
and adjoining counties. Lightning was inces-
SAINT for two hours. The wind reached velo-
city of 100 miles an hour. and in its track
were left destruction and death. The visi-
tation was the worst ever recorded in the
history of Central Illinois. Almost complete
interruption of telegraph and telephone lines
for II hours has made it impossible to secure
the full details ofthe disaster. It's now known
that fatalities in Mclean county were but
three in number, while scores ofpersons were
seriously injured and hundreds of narrow
escapes from death were reported. Not a
village or city of Mclean county escaped,
and from every district comes the same
report of destroyed buildings, injury to grow
ing crops and RACED fruit and shade trees.
The aggregate of loss in Mclean county, not
including three lives at Merna or thousands
upon thousands of levied shade and fruit
trees, by a rough estimate will be between
$500, 900 and $500. 900.

Quay is Still Boss.

Quay has again proven his mastery of the
Republican machine of Pennsylvania, and on
Wednesday forced the nomination of Judge
Pennypacker, of Philadelphia, for Governor.
Attorney General Elkin, who de6ed Quay's
power, and declared he would stand for the
nomination until the end, was true to his word,
and received 152 votes to 202 for Pennypack-
er If the Democrats nominate Ex-Governor
Pattison they will carry the State. The feud
in the Republican party of the Keystone State
is bitter, and thousands of Republicans will
vote for Pattison if the opportunity is offered.
Pattison has been elected Governor twice by
the aid of Republicans, and they would not
hesitate to elect him again, for he made good
executive, and his election would be another
rebuke to Boss Quay.

By the burning of the hospital of the St.

noon, thirteen persons were killed and about
thirty injured. Most of the victims were pa
tients suffering from delirium tremens or the
use of drugs, and several of them were strap
ped to their beds. The flames spread so rap
idly that it was i'm possible to save them.
Five persons were burned to death in Sara
