They also recommended that for the
jury and witness expenses the courts be
allowed $4,000 a month. Then there
were salaries for interpreters of the
usual nationalities and extras, which
would swell this estimate to about $780,
900 per annum.
Treasurer S. E. Damon recommended
that two clerks be authorized for his
office, one a license clerk and the other
a bookkeeper. He recommended a sal
ary of $175 per month for the book
keeper and $3.50 for the license clerk.
For the County Clerks office it was
recommended that chief clerk be ap-
pointed with salary of $3.50 a month;
stenographer and clerk, s125 per month;
another clerk, $50 month; messenger,
$40
The District Attorney recommended

would curtail the expenses twenty-five
per cent by the use of improved meth
DDS of doing business. His recommen-
dations as to expenses for doing the
work were not presented to the Board.
The report of the three judges of the
First Circuit Court was received in
which they outlined the amount of
clerical work to be done and expenses
for conducting the courts. They recon-
mended the employment of three

The bailiffs are now paid SIS month

ECHO OF STREET
FRANCHISE WAR

The last echo Of the franchise war
between the Rapid Transit Co. and the
Hawaiian Tramways Co., which end
ed the past year in amalgamation un-
der the former corporations name,
comes in the following item from the
record of the Federal Supreme Court
in a Washington paper of December IA:
No. 116. The Hawaiian Tramways
Company limited, plaintiff in error.
agt. the Honolulu Rapid Transit and
Land Company, limited. In error to
the Supreme Court of the Territory of
Hawaii. Dismissed with costs on mo-
ton Of Mr.. ]. j. Darlington for the
plaintiff in error.
On a submission of facts the Ha-
waiian Supreme Court decided that the
Hawaiian Tramways Co, did not pos
sess exclusive rights of operating a
street railway upon the thoroughfares
where its system extended. Some time
later. the Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany renewed the fight against the
Rapid Transit Co, to prevent it's stead
lily advancing encroachments into COM

To the contention of respondent that

Pratt Getting Things Settled.

Land Commissioner ]. W. Pratt has
received advices of decision of one of
the land boundary cases the trial of
which he attended recently on the ISL
and of Hawaii. Levi S. Lyman, Com
missioner of Boundaries, decided in IA
vor of the Government as to 450 acres
of grazing land below the 3oo0-foot
level in Kawaihae, North Kohala. Pri-
vate claimants, being lessees of the
Queen Emma estate, won the case with
regard to 42O acres of mountain sum-
NIT land in dispute. The controversy
has existed for thirty years.
Other land disputes have been set
tied by stipulation. The Territory
gives up 35 out of 135 acres in Upolu,
Hawaii, in exchange for a quitclaim to
95 acres at Lahainaluna, Maui, part of
the site of the famous public seminary
there, which had been disputed since
the great land distribution of 1912.

ed by the flagship Kentuckys
band. the fleet of Admiral
Evans departed from the anchorage
outside the entrance to the channel
promptly at 10 o'clock yesterday fore
noon. en- route to Cavite, via Midway
and Guam. It was an impressive sight
as the entire battleship and cruiser
fleet responded to the Admirars signal
to go ahead.
We're run up the haIyards and the flag
ship Kentucky's starboard propeller
churned UP the sea. Previous to this
time the cruisers and the wisconsin
had drawn in their anchors, the Oregon
not having come to an anchor during
the morning. The Kentucky described
a circle to starboard which brought her
past both the Wisconsin and Oregon,
and then gathering headway was fol-
/ lowed by the two big battleships, and
then by the cruisers, the New Orleans
following directly behind the Oregon.
The cruiser flagship New Orleans was
the last vessel to leave Honolulu har-
bor. She went out about $3.50 and took
UP position which would easily throw
her on the right of the line of cruisers
when the signal came to depart.
The Naval Station tug Iroquois, COM

several government officials, ladies and
press representatives, who took this
means of saying farewell to their
friends. Governor Carter was not pres
ent, but was represented by Secretary
Atkinson. The Iroquois left the dock
at 9 a. m. and went directly out to
the Kentucky which was serenaded by
the band. The tug then visited the
Wisconsin and after the serenade the
Badger men gave three cheers. Then
each of the cruisers was visited, each
one being serenaded, the men cheering
/, enthusiastically.

lnquois who have been learning some of

While the tug was making it's rounds
a rain drizzled, upon the fleet. One
young lady said that it was ''Hono-
lulu shedding tears over the fleets de-
parture." AS the tug bore away from
the Raleigh a beautiful rainbow arched
over the vessel apparently enclosing
the warship from stem to stern in a
prismatic frame.
Upon returning to the Kentucky the
marine guard was paraded on the quar-
ter deck and the band struck up THE
Girl 1 Left Behind Me- followed by
.'Auld Lang Syne.' Admiral Evans
stood on the quarter deck and waved
his hat in farewell to the visitors.

A New Land OF Copper.

The remarkable mineral wealth that
is being revealed in Katanga in the
southeast part of the Congo Free state
has already been referred to The Sun.
Scarcely a month passes that further
! discoveries are not reported
AT the last meeting in London of the
Tanganyika Concessions company a
few weeks ago. a report was read from
j. r. Farrell. a geologist who has lust
spent year in Katanga in the service
of the company. While the large ter
| ritory conceded to the company has i'm
portant gold resources. it's greatest
wealth is in the copper it contains.
A part Of Mr.. Farrelrs report may be
summed up in the words that he has
found fifty-two beds of copper ore
which he believes to be the richest
source of copper in the world. IA
Movement Geographique says it will
soon publish a summary of all the
mineral discoveries made and a new
map of Katangs based upon the atlas
prepared by George Grey, who is df-
recting the search for minerals in
Katanga.
The company is preparing to make
this great mining district easily Access
sible from the Atlantic ocean. Several
months ago Robert williams. mana
ger of the company. paid into the
hands of the Portuguese government
the sum of $4,000 for which the COM
pany obtained a concession to build
railroad through Angola from the At
lantic to the great copper region of
katanga. The line will extend 800
miles through Portuguese territory in
West Africa and 100 miles into the
southeastern part of the Congo state.
By this concession the company secur-
ed the right to exploit all the mineral
resources that may be found for
seventy-five miles on each side of the
railroad.
On the other hand the Congo Free
state is studying the possibility of con-
Meeting Stanleyville. on the upper
Congo, with Katanga by a railroad
which will give northern as well as
western outlet to the mining region.

fluctuating standard of value. The
present low price of silver has rednced
the purchasing power of the Mexican
dollar. and the price of foreign goods
of every description has increased so
much as a consequence that commerce
is in a demoralized condition. There is
no basis for financial calculations on
account of the violent changes to which
the silver currency is subjected. The
laboring classes are threatened with
loss by reason of the depreciation in
value of the national coin, and their
demand for increased wages is likely
10 disturb mining, manufacturing, agri-
culture and all other industries. AT the
same time foreign capital invested in
Mexico is suffering because profits are
vestors are worried about their present
holdings and are hesitating to begin
any new enterprises or extned their
old ones until the republic gives a
guarantee of a stable money system.
These are the chief reasons, accord
ing to Mr.. Enrique c. Creel, which
moved the government of Mexico TO
arouse the interest of silver using
countries of the world and secure the
cooperation of the United States to-
ward forming proposals to be presented
to all other nations regarding inter-
national currency matters. The sue
cess of Mr.. Creel in getting the United
States to act is we'll known. Congress,
near the end of its session, provided for
commission of monetary experts,
whose members are now on a junket in
Europe with the representatives OF the
Mexican and Chinese governments.
The only purpose of the commission
is to study and acquire information,
The influence which it might have will
not be exerted against other countries
so much as it will be directed towards
reconciling the minds of all Mexicans
to change in their monetary system
that will be more in accordance with
the usages and customs of the civilized
world. The report of the proceedings
and decision OF this body of experts
Will perhaps be read by nobody in
America except specialists and the Gu
rious. but more than likely its findings
will be the document in evidence in
many heated campaign In Mexico.

The Spanish government is seriously
concerned over the sale at auction of
the Spanish copper coin remaining in
the Philippines. This is part of the
Philippine currency scheme. The Span
ish government, in calling this matter
to the attention of the United States
government, express fear that if the
coin is sold to any one besides the
Spanish government it will have the
effect of debasing the currency. as the
coin would undoubtedly drift back into
Spain.

The Money Ia Circulation.

Under republican policies the volume
Of money in the United States has
steadily grown until even a populist
should be satisfied. 1t seems probabl
that before the end of the year the ag-
gregate circulation will amount to $50
for each man, woman and child in the
nation. Who does not remember the
learned discussions of "feenance" which
were heard seven years ago from Dan
to Beersheba and from ella Bend to
Sioux City? What was wanted was
4 great per capiter" circulation of sill
yer and paper. But the most magma
tive populist did not dream of per
gold.
Money in circulation, according to the
Treasury bulletin just issued, increased
during the month of May 1881, 900.
The gain was entirely in the form OF
National bank notes, the circulation
OF which rose from 1891. BOG 900 to $685.
0s1,000. an expansion OF nearly IA mill
lion dollars. Decreases in other forms
of money brought the net gain down
to the figure stated. 1t is worthy of
note that the gold circulation remained
practically stationary during the month
period. although Treasury gold hold
ings decreased 6A millions. due, of
course. to the current exports of specie.
Despite this drain on the Treasury.
holdings of other forms of money in
creased nearly two millions. The per
capita circulation is now estimated at
$29.64, which breaks the previous
months high record. On the present
basis of population gain of about s29.-
100000 would make the per capita cir
culation $50. which mark is being ap-
preached slowly, and apparently surely.
That the $50 limit is by no means I'M
certain, is shown by the fact that dur
ing the twelve months ending with
June 1st last. the actual money circu-
lation Of the United States has expand
ed 127& millions. or this increase
about CT millions was in gold.

Let This Week Finish the Work.

This week ought to finish the work
necessary to secure water storage on
the Salt river by the government. Wa
ter storage has been the chief ambition
of the valley for more than ten years
The active campaign for a government
reservoir has been vigorously pushed
since the passage of the national re-
clamation acr a year ago. Work of inn
mense Importance has been done. and
the task is about finished. Indeed. the
acreage already pledged, with what is
certainly in sight. warrants the gov
eminent in advising the officers of the
Water Users association to limit fu-
ture members to localities where best
economy can be secured in future ad-
ministration." The letter from Hon. F.
H. Newell. chief engineer of the United
States geological survey, printed in an
other column of this mornings Repub-
lican. makes it clear that the depart
ment's chief concern now is TO make as
compact as possible the area to be
served by the reservoir.
What a remarkable change has been
wrought in few days. Since the great
mass meeting on the court house plaza.
ten days ago. acreage has been added
each day by thousands. One hundred
and fifty thousand acres may be safely
counted upon by the end OF this week,
and enough more should be added to
settle the question, once for all.
After this week, belated ranchers will
be asking for the privilege of joining
the association. And very shortly. a
point will have been reached where
many applicants must be rejected.

Mexican Finances.

The material progress which is going
on in Mexico Is giving to that republic
a respectable position among the ma
tions of the earth. In the last twenty
years the revenues of the Mexican gov
eminent have increased from s25. 0Oo. 900

the banks from s3s, 100000 to 1920, OOO,-
600. The advance has been noticeable
in all branches of private and public
wealth.
This condition of prosperity has
brought out all the evils and disad-
vantages of the silver standard money
system. The country is suffering from
