DEMAND FOR MOTIVE POWER.
Philadelphia Firm Turning Out Loco
motives by the Pholesale.

PHILADELPHIA, January 2S.-Six COM
plete locomotives are now turned out daily
at the locomotive works here, but even with
this supply the demand for motive power
by the various great railway systems can
not be met. John H. Converse, president
of the Baldwin company, says the present
condition of affairs is unprecedented. I'VE
are working continuously, night and day.,
said Mr. Converse, land we are turning out
an average of one complete locomotive
every four hours. The various branches or
our plant are rushed with work. The de-
mand for motive power does not seem to
slacken."
The works employ 49, 900 men. The order
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for
$50 locomotives, placed some time ago, Is
being rapidly filled. For this road alone the
Baldwin company is delivering seven loco
motives every six days. In addition the
Pennsylvania railroad is completing To-
comotive every two days at its Altoona
shops.

DIR. HUNTERS INQUIRY.
Asks if Right of Immunity is Waived
in His Sons Case.

The State Department has received a
cablegram from eX-Minister Hunter at
Guatemala City asking if the United States
waived the right of immunity in the case
of his son. who has been under trial for the
killing of Mr.. Fitzgerald. 1t is assumed
that the Guatemaian courts are holding up
their verdict in the case of Hunter until as
sured from Washington Of their jurisdiction
in the case. The State Department has
again informed Hunter that this govern
ment waived all rights in the case Of his
son, who was in no way attached to the
American legation at the time the killing
occurred.

of the allies over those of France and otner
powers similarly situated.
1t is said that 40 per cent Of the customs
receipts will probably be sufficient to satisfy
France, the allies, and all the other claim
ants Previous to the meeting between Mr..
Bowen and the representatives of the allies
France secured an agreement with Vene-
zuela that the French claims shall receive
treatment equal to that given to any otner
power The view is held here that Venezue.
la and all others taking part in the present
negotiations should take cognizance OF and
carry out this agreement. The French au-
thorties evidently consider equal treatment
to be absolutely indispensable.

killed by filibuster, but was laid aside by
a majority vote of the Senate.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, January 2S.-
There is much alarm among stockmen
north and east, who say that they are
threatened with greater losses than in
years. In the valley country conditions con-
fronting cattlemen are most serious and
heavy loss is already recorded.
All over northeastern Montana there was
a heavy fall Of snow two weeks ago. This
has hardened on top, and the cattle are
unable to get at the grass. One stockman
from the Popular neighborhood says the
snow is crusted so hard that it will bear
up wagon, and unless chinook comes
very soon the loss will be enormous.

Mr.. Bowen's Peculiar Position.

This appeal, with Mr.. Bowens indorse-
ment, has been communicated to the pow
ers. Mr.. Bowen is thus placed in the pecu-
liar attitude Of asking fair treatment from
one of the powers for the interests Of its
own subjects.
At the last meeting of the negotiators it
was pointed out When the proposition was
made that preferential treatment be given
the allies that. should the case be referred
to The Hague for adjus tment, that institu-
ton, being a peace tribunal, would be IN
clined to show preference not to the pow
ers which had participated in the block
ade and the subsequent bombardment Of
forts and killing of men, women and chill
dren, but rather to such nations, for ex-
ample, as France and Belgium, which, al
though Venezuela's heaviest creditors, have
steadily maintained a peaceful attitude
throughout.
Earnest Hope of Officials.
The earnest hope is expressed by Off
cials having to do with Venezuelan mat
tiers that the European allies will come
to an agreement promptly and call off the
blockade that is still in force. Its con-
tiruance is serious embarrassment to the
people of Venezuela. The differences be-
tween the offers of Mr.. Bowen and the
demands of the allies, 1t is felt here, are
not such as should require continuance OF
the present condition of affairs on the
Venezuelan coast. Mr.. Bowen confidently
hopes the powers may agree to his propo-
sitions and that a joint answer to this
effect may come to Washington tomorrow.
Any further material delay in reaching an
agreement it is believed here will not arise
from any irreconcilable differences be-
tween the offers of Mr.. Nowen and the
demands of the European governments, but
from a feeling on the part of the allies
that they should be cautious and insistent
on an absolutely binding arrangement even
in small matters.

FOR CONsIDaRATIOE.

We remember that during the last
Legislature, the first in this Territory
under the terms of the Organic Act.
the late Representative A. c.. Gilfillan
asked for an appropriation of $4,000
for Delegate Wilcox. The proposition
then came from the Republican side of
the House, but it was turned down by
the Hawaiians themselves, not know
ing the necessity for it nor for what
so expressed themselves at the time
the item was proposed, that the Dele
gate was being handsomely paid by
the Federal Government, and they saw
10 reason why the Territorial Govern.
ment should be burdened with this ex.
ira and unknown for item of expend.
iture for further remuneration to the
peoples choice of Delegate then. Now.
at this time, we see that it is a neces-
sity for the Territory to do something
towards the employment of an efficient
end well-informed Secretary, and in
this instance the choice has fallen uI,-
On well-known Hawaiian. We earn.
ostly hope that the incoming Legisla
,ure will provide properly in this mat
ter and not to be so short-sighted as
To refuse to grant proper appropria-
ton. In doing so, our Legislators would
be doing a duty by the people, those
that elected them, for the Delegate
elect is the peoples choice, and the
Secretary his choice, and being his, it
is the peoples, as WELL Is this not so?
But, IL the assistance should come
from another source, say, the mer
chants and the planters, what would
then be said of the Delegate-elect and
his choice of secretary? Would it
not be said that the Delegate repre-
sented the merchants and the plant
crs, being those who materially assist.
ed them (should it ever be the case),
and not OF and for the people? Sure;
then let it not be so said. Better that
the taxpayers (the people, should
bear the burden and let the merchants
and the planters have their own imper-
sonal representative, 1t is much BET
ter to do that way than TO give oppor.
Lunity for slurs to be thrown later up
tc the representatives of the people.
Let it not be said that the Delegate
elect and his secretary are simply the
representatives of the planters and
merchants alone.

The following, under the tile of a
"yoice Lifted Up" is published in the

q sentiments: "The action of the Con
gress of the United States in anneXing
these Islands is not, and never will be,
x approved by the Hawaiian people in
general Our people have submitted
and will continue to submit to the au.
thority of the United States but only
upon the ground of necessity, knowing
that they are unable to change the
course of affairs, or to break or cut the
X bond which has been fastened upon
them without their consent. They de-
ny the right or authority Of the late
"Republic" to speak or act for them in
the matter of annexation or otherwise
~ The Republic" was in no sense gov.
ernment of the people By the people.

ment as a basis of its action in pass.
ing the celebrated "Newlands Resolu-
ti0p" the Congress of the United
States brought us within its authority,
And as We cannot if we would, es
cape, we hope and trust that we al
least be literally dealt with. That the
United States will not insist upon con.
tinulng to take our revenues from us,
in the form of customs duties, postal
receipts, internal revenue, etc, with,
out at least returning to our Territory
corresponding sums in the form of pub
lie improvements, or otherwise You
have made us American citizens
against our will; we now propose to
make the best of the situation, ana
