The Secretary OF the Navy has given
serious consideration of the complaint
of the officers composing the court
which tried Assistant Paymaster Rish-
worth Nicholson regarding the lam
guage used by Rear Admiral Evans in
disappearing its findings 1t was stat
ed today that the regulations permit
reviewing officer in passing on case
to express himself with vigor where he
deems such action necessary, but not
to the extent of arraigning the court
and reprimanding its individual men,
bers. Admiral Evans was not called on
to explain to the department. Should
the conclusion be reached, however.
that he did arraign the court, it was
stated today that he would be notified
that he had gone outside of his func-
ton as a reviewing officer.

Porto Ric0's Plea.

A conference was held at the executive
Offices between the President and three
officials of the Island of Porto Rico
Charles Hartzel1, secretary of the island
government; Samuel Lindsay. commits
sioner of immigration. and w. F. Will
loughby. treasurer. The island officials
urged the President to exert his influ-
ence to the end that Porto Rico might
be enabled to market its coffee crop to
advantage, their suggestion being that
treaties be negotiated by the United
States with foreign countries, providing
that they should admit Porto Rican cof-
fees at such duties as would give the is
land planters profitable markets. Sena-
tor Foraker, of Ohio, also had a talk
with the President about Porto Rican af-
fairs, bringing to the Presidents atten-
ton some cablegrams from Governor
Hunt The President will discuss fully
the affairs of the island in his forthcon-
ing annual message to Congress.

He Will Save Time.

If Speaker Cannon carries out his
present plans. after the House has dis
posed of the Cuban Reciprocity Bill he
will appoint a number of his other
House committees. so that they may
proceed at once with the work OF pre-
pairing the great appropriation bills for
the coming fiscal year There are II
of these bills, and the Speaker is anx-
ious to have them presented and pass
ed by the House as soon as possible
during the regular session beginning
next month, SO that they can get to
the Senate and become laws before the
summer. The appropriation bills have
always been the great obstacles to an
early adjournment of Congress during
the long session. and Speaker Cannon.
from his experience as chairman of
the Appropriations Committee of the
House, knows that the sooner the
House committees begin work on them
the greater the chance for an early ad-
lournment. The estimates for the ap-
preparations are submitted to Congress
on the opening day OF the regular SEES
sion OF Congress, but there is a great
deal OF preliminary work many of the
committees can do this month in has
tening the drafting OF the bills,

Rev. GiIpatriCk 10
Remain Another Year.

Thosa who were fortunate
enough to attend services at the
Cong'l Church last Sunday even
ing had the pleasure Of listening
to very interesting address de
ivered by Rev. Gilpatricl1, whose
subject was " A biographical
sketch of Jacob and Eausau".
After services, persuant to the
announcement made in the morn
ing, q business meeting was held
for the purposeofdeciding wheth-
er the Church should extend
call to Rev: Gilpatrick for another
year. Only one ballot was taken,
sixteen votes being cast, fifteen
for and one blank, the latter un-
doubtedly being a mistake. At
any rate the vote was at once
made unanimous, after which
those present but not members
Of the church, were asked to give
an expression of their views by a
rising vote. Every one stood up.
This, itseems to us, is fiattering
tribute to the Rev. Gilpatrick. 1t
shows that the people who attend
the Cong'l Church appreciate his
worth and abilities. If my mem
DRY serves me right, this is the
second time in the history of the
church that a third call has been
extended to any Of it's pastors.
There is no question but what
| the Rev. Gilpatrick has labored
hard for the last two years for
the best interests of the church
and to extend it's influence in this
community which has been done.
Let the good work go On.

Edwards, Wood
& Co. In Trouble.

The members Of the grain com
mission firm Of Edwards, Wood
& Co have been arrested at St.
Paul on the charge Of having fail
ed to make proper returns on con
signments made to them. Their
practice seems to have been to
report sales at from one to three
cents less than the prices actual
ly paid, keeping the difference in
addition to the usual commission.
The trial has been set for Jan. Z
and the result will be watched
with interest by the thousands of
shippers in the northwest.

bearing armsful of leis, green's and
flowers which were tenderly laid upon
the casket of the late dowager. The
casket of King Kalakaua was similarly
laden as were each of the collins of the
other members of the royal family. An
oil singer was present and chanted the
meles relating to the Queen.

Use BREAD

Maui Natives Are
Short Of
Taro.
BOARD OF HEALTH
ASKED FOR HELP
Typhoid Fever Prevalent on All
the lSIands-few Cases
of Measles.

Taro has become so scarce on Maui
that the natives are substituting bread
fruit for it, in the manufacture of poi
On all the islands there is a scarcity
of taro owing to the many diseases
which of late years have attacked the
plant, but as far as known there has
never been any general movement TO
substitute breadfruit for the more nu-
tritious taro. Breadfruft poi is said to
ferment easily, and becomes a violent
intoxicant if left to stand even short
time.
DR.. a. ]. McGettigan the government
physician at Hama, Maui, in a report to
the Board of Health recommends that
the Board attempt to devise some
method which would induce native Ha-
waiians to eat more and better food.
He says: ''Taro is scarce and they sub
stitute breadfruit poi for it. Instruc-
tons (practicaD to the school children,
in the art of cooking, and impressing
them with the necessity of varied
diet might be of some benefit
The Board of Health he's as yet taken
no action upon the recommendation of
orally known that the supply of taro
is becoming exhausted all ove~ the ISL
ands. The matter will probably be con-
sidered at some future meeting
DR.. H. Wood the government physi-
clan at Waialua, Oahu, asks the Board
of Health if it has the power to stop
the building of insanitary shacks. He
says there are a number in the Waia-
lua district which are a distinct menace
to the public health.
DR.. Wood reports a great improve
ment, however in the sanitary condi-
tons of his district. He says: "Tne
managers of rice plantations have prac-
tically followed all of my suggestions
in regard to drainage, cleaning Of cess
pools. pig pens, etc, in some cases go
ing to considerable expense. Twenty
eight dwellings have been raised from
the ground surface and made sanitary.
Eight pig pens have been removed from
positions near homes and placed a: a
distance"
Reports of typhoid fever are frequent
from all government physicians aside
from the report of twenty-seven cases
at North HiIo. Three cases are report
ed from the Kau district and one each
Kauai; Waialua, Oahu; Kihei, Maui;
and Puma, Hawaii. Two cases of
measles are reported from the Hamakua
district on Hawaii

TARO ROT
REMEDY
Bulletin Issued by
Mr.. Jared G..
Smith.
HISTORY OF TARO
CULTIVATION
Prof. Sedgwick Suggests Methods
to Avoid Loss of Half the
Crop Annually.

| The Hawaii Agricultural Experiment
| Station has just issued it's second bull
letin, dealing this time with taro root
rot and suggesting remedies for its cure
and prevention. The bulletin is IS
sued under the supervision of Director
Jared G.. Smith by T. F. Sedgwick and
his suggestions regarding the proven
ton of the destructive disease which
are of great Importance. Taro is the
staff of life for the native, being the
principal ingredient of poi, and it's ex-
tinction would be loss not easily re-
placed.
A history of taro cultivation is given
in the bulletin, with the information
that the plant is fourth among the
products of the Islands though least in
area of land devoted to it's cultivation.
The investment in taro growing Is from
s45O.OOO to 100000, and Prof. Sedgwick
says the cultivation of taro is exceed
ingly profitable.
There is also a sketch of the method
of culture and lengthy explanation OF
the taro rot, which more readily affects
wet land taro than the dry land plant.
The disease is said to destroy on an
average one-half of the crop and in
many cases it has compelled the grow
the Islands are reported to be alike
affected. The disease is said to be of
two forms, one due to soil conditions
and lack of drainage; the other to the
planting of diseased hules.
The effects of the experiments at Ka-
lihi are told in detail, with a record
of the Investigations and Prof Sedgwick
suggests improved methods of irrigation
and of culture Attention is paid also
to the need of fertilizers, many of the
taro fields having been in constant use
for cultivation for nearly a century.
The following are the conclusions Civ
en- in the bulletin as the conditions
necessary to secure a good crop of taro:
/. A supply of good hules, free from
disease.
2 patch so laid out as to secure
the most economical use of the irriga-
ton water
s. The application of proper fertiliz-
ers at the right time.
4. A constantly running stream of
water circulating over the fields, or
when this is not possible, frequent
change of water.
5. An occasional change in the varie-
ty of the taro planted.
6. An entire change Of hules from one
patch to another, or rotation Of crops,
using >taro land for rice or bananas, at
least two years in every five.

Senator Achi favored the resolu len
stating that at the last session there
had been an allowance Of seven dollars
and a half per day for writing up the
minutes. He was wiling to amend VI
and make five dollars per day.
Senator Brown replied that writing
up the minutes was part OF the duties
of the clerk and he didn't think 1t was
right to make an extra allowance no
matter what had been done last Sos
sion He had been a member OF the
legislature since 1876 and never heard
of such a thing before. He was willing
to vote for a resolution providing FOR
the payment of the clerk in making up
the record for Washington, but not for
performing his duties. Senator AcM
said that Brown had voted for the reso-
luton last session, and the clerk was
compelled to work rights to make up
his minutes while the other officers OF
the Senate were through their laSofs
when the Senate adjourned.
Senator Baldwin said he didn't want
to shut off the pay, II 1t was proper,
but he didn't believe in voting double
salary to any officer.
| Finally upon motion OF Senator Acm
the resolution was referred to the C'm-
]

FREE POSTAGE STAMPS.
Keliinoi then introduced resolution
providing that all Representatives be
provided with postage stamps. He said
that he had received many letters from
constituents, and as each demanded
an answer he thought the charge should
be against the Territory. There was no
objection, though Speaker Beckley sar-
castically remarked that he hoped the
remainder OF the appropriation would
be devoted to his stamp account, so he
would not have to buy any more
stamps for the coming two .'ears.
