HAWAIIWANTS A LOAN
ABOUT TO RAISE TWO AND A
QUARTER MILLIONS.
Secretary Carter Coming to Mainland
to Negotiate for the
Money.
Special Correspondenee OF The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
HONOLULU. 7. H. September 5. 1903.
The territory of Hawaii wants to borrow
about two million and a quarter dollars.
and has sent Secretary George r. Carter to
the mainland to assist in doing The
money is wanted under loan act passed
by the last legislature. for public improve
ments, and has all been appropriated 1t
Is the full limit of what the organic act
allows the territory to borrow within the
period Of two years, for which the legisla-
ture enacted laws
The loan was attempted two years ago,
when the home rule legislature was in ses-
sion, but the legislature failed to pass the
enabling act, though every one seemed to
want 1t and all recognized the need Of Dor
rowing. This time the bill got through
and the governor and other officials at once
began preparations to issue bonds The ap-
prevail of President Roosevelt is necessary
before the loan Is legal, and he has been
asked to approve the act. In reply a cable
was received by the governor asking for a
financial statement showing the condition OF
need for the loan. and these have been
sent forward by Governor Dole.
Prefer a Mainland Loan.
There was some talk at first of the local
banks taking up the loan. but after con-
ference with the bankers Governor Dole
and his advisors decided that 1t would be
better to try to float the bonds in New
York. The banks in Hawaii, which are SUBJ
ject to heavy drafts at one time of the
year and heavy deposits at others. feel
that 1t would be a good idea to establish a
market for the bonds on the mainland, and
prefer securities on which they can realize
II they want to do So Hence 1t was de-
cided to send Carter to New York.
Secretary Carter will proceed to New
York at once if President Roosevelt has
approved the loan when he arrives east If
not he will the President and endeavor
to secure favorable action. All over the
islands there many improvements held
to be necessary and it is thought that the
President will approve the issue when he
is made acquainted with the situation
Hawaii has always met her obligations,
even through her periods of revolutions and
other difficulties. Years ago a large loan
was foated in London, the only one which
the islands ever secured from outside. The
interest was paid regularly and the loan
was taken up as it became due, the last of
1t being assumed by the United States
natural result of annexation.

Electric Cars in GERMANY.

Department of Commerce and Labor,
makes some interesting statements regard

total number o. such lines in that emp re,

sence at his home in this city, when asked
concerning the mission which he is to head
to Abyssinia. said:
IT shall leave Massillon on Monday, Sep

from New York for Marseille on October 8.
II shall leave Marseille October % on a
war vessel to be designated by the Navy
Department, and will organize a caravan
at Harrar. the chief commercial city Of
Abyssinia.
From Harrar we will proceed as rapidly
as possible to the capital, Adds Ababa,
which is about go miles from the coast.
The country to be traversed is mountainous
and very beautiful-not unlike Switzerland
in character. 1t will require from sixteen to
twenty days to make the overland journey
and so much time to return.
while the country is rough and unset
tied, personal security is assured and way
farers received with the greatest pos
sible courtesy and hospitality.
The emperor is one of the great men Of
his time. He has consolidated the empire
and created an administrative system and
army comparing favorably with those Of
better known countries.
His people have been our customers for
many years. buying vast quantities of cot
ton sheeting and other staple articles. while
we in turn purchase from the Abyssinans
equally important quantities Of ivory. hides.
carpet woods and other raw material. AS
this commerce filters through many hands,
we know very little about it except in a
general way.
1T is the special business of the diplo-
matte and consular service of this govern
ment to serve American trade interests.
And the object of the present journey is to
carry out that policy.

shall perform will be to lay before En-

Rural Telephone Free Delivery.

The next move in the development
of the postal system will be a rural
telephone free delivery. Senator
Fairbanks outlined the plan just be-
fore the adjournment of Congress,
and proposed an appropriation of
$4,000 to establish an experimental
system. While the appropriation
was turned down, it is sure to come
up again at the next session, and
eventually the telephone idea will
be incorporated into the postal sys-
tenn.
As Senator Fairbanks pointed out,
in many parts of the west almost
every farmer has a telephone, and
the service is extending rapidly. The
plan is to have a special stamp which
will denote to the postmaster at the
receiving office that the envelope
is to be opened and the message sent
by telephone, thus often saving the
greater part of the day in the deliv-
cry Of an important message

Kearns of Utah.
Senator Burrows met Kearns
just after the committee on priv

Burrows laid his hand affection
ately on the shoulder of the
Utah senator and said: Brother
Kearns, am afraid we will have
to make an example of you Nor
mons; we Christians cannot stand
for polygamy.'
"That depends" retorte d
Kearns promptly, upon how you
view the subject. The differ
ence between the people of Utah
and the people of Michigan is
that we believe in polygamy, but
do not practice it, while you of
Michigan do not believe in po-
