GERMAN AMBASSADORS CREDEN.
TAILS RECEIVED AT PREsi-
DENTS SUMMER HOME.
NOT INTENDED As A PRECEDENT
CIRCUMSTANCE OF THE PRES
EMIT CASE ARE CONSIDERED
TO BE EXCEPTIONAL.

Oyster Bay, l.. L., Aug. 8.-Sagamore
Hill, President Roosevelt's home, was
the scene during the day of an inter
esting ceremony.
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, who has
been minister plenipotentiary of Ger
many to the United States since Am
bassador Won Holleben returned to
Europe and who recently, on the re-
tirement of Mr.. Won Holleben, was ele-
waited to the rank of ambassador, pre-
sented to the president his credentials
as ambassador and was received for
mally in his new diplomatic rank by
President Roosevelt.
Ambassador Won Sternberg arrived
in Oyster Bay at 1904 a. m. from New
York. He was received at the station
by Secretary Barnes, representing
President Roosevelt Accompanying

OF State Francis B. Loomis and Colone
Thomas W. SymonS, superintendent Ol
the White House and grounds at Wash
ington and the military aide of the
president.
Ambassador Won Sternberg, accom-
panied by Colonel Symons, was driven
to the residence of j. West Roosevelt
while Secretary Loomis and Secretary
Barnes proceeded directly to Sycamore
Hill
At IL o'clock Colonel Symons escort
ed the ambassador, who was in full
court dress, to Sycamore Hill There
the formal presentations occurred in
the parlor OF the Roosevelt home.
Presents His Credentials.
Ambassador Won Sternberg laid be-
fore President Roosevelt the letter an
nouncing the recall Of Ambassador
Won Holleben and his own credentials
as successor. The president responded
briefly.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the president and Ambassador Won
Sternberg, as old friends, chatted ami
matedly. The ambassador will be the
unofficial guest Of the president for a
day or two.
1t was stated authoritatively that
the reception by the president Of the
German ambassador at Sycamore Hill
IS not to be regarded as a precedent,
although it is the first time In the his
tory of the country that an ambassa-
dor has presented his credentials to
the president outside of Washington.
Ministers who arrive in the United
States during the vacation season will
not be presented to the president at
his summer home unless there is some
strong and urgent reason for it. Baron
Won Sternberg was received because
the circumstances connected with his
coming to the United States were ex-
ceptional in a sense. Then too, he Is
a long time personal friend of the
president. The only way in which
the presentation may be considered a
precedent will be when the conditions
are similar, that is, when an ambas-
sador shall receive his promotion TO
that rank while in and accredited to
this country as a minister plenipoten-
tiary.

TAX HITS HER HARD.
Woman Objects Giving Uncle Sam a
Million and More.

Milwaukee, Aug. S.-The revenue
department at Washington has handed
down an opinion that Mrs. Charles w.
Norris, An adopted daughter Of the
late Daniel Wells, millionaire lumber
man, must pay an Inheritance tax that
will amount to s1,500,000 The ruling
of the department is that she pay SIS
for every 800 that she inherited. and
as the total amounts to $l0,0O0.000 she
will have to give up one-sixth OF the
amount to the government. The at
torneys for Mrs. Norris propose to
fight the case and carry II to the Unit
ed States supreme court. They hold
that Mrs. Norris, being an adopted
daughter of the late millionaire, bears
the same relation to him as blood
relation would and that the tax, there
fore, should be greatly reduced.

Aggregate Increase in Wages by Amer

Chicago, Aug. S.-The sum of $780,.
100000 is said by Siason Thompson.
editor of the Railway News. to repre-
sent the increase of the payrolls CT
the railroads of the United States In
the last year.
Some of this, probably $4,000, ,000,'
he said lis due to the natural Increase
of business of the country, but the bal
ance comes from the concerted action
of the unions, particularly of the con-
ductors and trainmen, in asking for
and securing increased pay. This
movement to which the Rock Island
is the latest to yield, began year ago
in Kansas City.
"The Rock Island was reluctant to
grant the desired increase and did so
only after a referendum vote of its
employees showed that the men were
firm in their demands"

CABLE OF
PROTEST

Ask your help, protect Hawaii from
this wrong.
Memorial follows"
The cablegram on the subject of the
land matter reads: Commercial boz
dies of Hawaii urge that actionNon Ha-
waii land matters be delayed pending
arrival of memorial protesting against
transfer of government land to Fed
eral control without further careful in
vestigation."
w. M. Giffard, F. A. Schaefer and f.
M. Swanzy were appointed a commit
tee to draft the memorial on the sub
ject of the public lands, and w. w.
Dimond, Henry Waterhouse and George
w. Smith to draft the memorial on the
national lazaretto issue.
| The rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce were crowded this morning at
the special meeting. There was a unan-
imous sentiment among the members
| that immediate and decisive protest
must be made against those parts of
the Senatorial Commissions report
which recommended the national gov
ernment making a national lazarettO
out of Molokai and taking the public
lands and applying the United States
| land laws to this islands The meeting
was called at 10 o'clock, and the rooms
were crowded even before that hour, as
| the members were deSlrOuS Oh alQlnS IN
| the movement of protest which will be
unanimous throughout the Territory.
! c. M. Cooke, vice-president of the
| Chamber of Commerce, presided j. @.
| Spencer was secretary. Mr. Cooke an
nounced briefly the purposes of calling
| the meeting. There was little need,
however, to urge on those present the
necessity for prompt action. f. NJ.
| Swanzy offered a cablegram which it
was proposed to forward Immediately
! to the chairman of the two Congress-
| ional committees on territorial affairs.
Mr.. Cooke said that it had been sug-
gested that the land matter might be
added to this cable and the two mat
ers handled jointly. This suggestion
did not meet with favor. The sentiment
was that the leper issue was para
mount and resistance to it should be
made Independent of the other There
was little discussion on the subject.
Bruce Cartwright thought that the lep-
! er matter was of such Importance that
| it should be considered alone. 3. F.
Dillingham; approved of the idea of Mr.
Cartwright.
The motion to send the cablegram
was then put and carried unanimously.
Subsequently, after some discussion, it
to the extent of adding the words
| Memorial follows" so the cablegram
goes in that form.
The question of the protest against
applying the United States land laws
was then introduced.
Mr.. Cooke said that he had called on

claimed that all the water rights in the
valley had been adjudicated by the
Supreme Court in 1896, and that the
earlier case was decisive not only of
questions which were explicitly dis
posed of, but of all issues which might
have been presented. The further
claim was made that the right to the
surplus water-really the main issue
between the partes-had been forfeited
by the plaintiff and it's predecessors,
and acquired by the Wailuku Sugar
Company and others by adverse exclu-
sive use for over thirty years.
The Supreme Court held that the
earlier decision simply settled the right
of the Wailuku Sugar Company to take
water and irrigate the land then held,
to which 1t showed prescrptive right,
between certain hours of day time and
in certain bitches only, and that no de-
cision had ever been made concerning
the surplus water, sending the case
back to the Circuit court for further
proceedings.
The value of this surplus water is
said to be great if utilized by storing
in reservoirs according to the method
which has lately come into use in this
country as long since elsewhere. The
parties have agreed upon the appoint
ment of j. F. Brown, as commissioner,
to proceed to Maui, take testimony and
make findings.
The agreement was reached by Gem
eral A. S. Hartwell as attorney for the
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany and Kinney, Ballou & McClana-
han for the Wailuku Sugar Company.
The order of the court provides, as set
forth i'm the motion asking for Browns
appointment, that he shall report on all
the isues involved in the case of the
water. the use Of bitches, hours of ir-
rigation, land titles etc. since 1894, as
well as the amount of water needed by
the litigants.

LAND MATTERS
AN2 REp6RE 6RF ST 8EE4F4EM 4HEM

Governor Doles report to the Secre-
tary of the Interior contains a state
ment of the land transactions of the
government here during the year COW
cred by the report, which is of special
interest in view of the recommendation
of the Senate Commission with regard
to lands When the Commissioners
were here there were many charges
connected with land matters and ever
since Hawaii became a Territory, the
lands laws have been a matter of con-
tfoversy at Washington. Both the
Governor and Land Commissioner
Boyd have steadily favored the con-
tinuance of the Hawaiian land laws,
rather than an application of American
laws, as the latter are held to be in
applicable here, having been designed
for a larger country.
The fact that the Commissioners have
declared for Federal control of the pub
lie lands here does not necessarily
mean, it is stated, that American laws
are to be applied in toto. The Federal
bureaus which it is proposed to estab-
lish might carry out laws similar to the
Hawaiian laws, though the recommend
alton that the lease system be termin-
ated would imply one very sweeping
change. The following shows the leases
granted during the past year, as Civ
en- by the Governors report:

ing Against Leper and Land
Recommendations,

There is no question of the attitude
of the members of the Chamber OF
Commerce on the recommendation of
the Senatorial Committee that the
United States shall take control of the
Leper Settlement and public lands of
this territory. AT the special meeting
which had been called this morning
two cablegrams of vigorous protest on
these two points were ordered sent i'm
mediately to the Chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Pacific Islands and
Porto Rico and the Chairman of the
House Committee on Territories.
There was not a single dissenting
voice on the matters at ssue There
was not a single discussion but the
talks was merely in an endeavor TO
present the protest in the most effect
i've fashion to the authorities al
Washington. In addition to the two
cablegrams which are of sufficient
length to clearly set forth the vigorous
protests of the commercial bodies of
this community, special committees
were appointed for the purpose OF
drafting memorials on the two subjects
for forwarding to Congress.
Nor will the Chamber of Com
MERGE be the only organization to act.
When sent today the cablegrams bore
the signatures of Vice-President C. M.
Cooke of the Chamber of Commerce
Fred Macfarlane, president of the
Merchants Association, A. Gartley
president of the Builders and Traders
Exchange, and Clarence l.. Crabbei
chairman of the Republican Central
Committee.

1t was the rough seas that caused the
shaft of the steamer Waialeale to
break last Tuesday. Captain Mosher
had anchored outside of Kileauea and
was looking for the mornings that had
been laid for the overhead wire. one
of these had shifted and he was to re-
lay it. He took the vessel in toward
shore. The sea was very rough so he
decided to get out. AS she was COM
ing out toward the open sea, she en-
countered a high sea. Her nose shot
into the air and when the stern dropped
down again the wheel struck smack on
the water before the engineers could
shut off the moving screw. The re-
suit was that the shaft broke. For
tunately there was a wind from the
land so Captain Mosher was able to
sail his vessel out of danger and wait
until the steamer Ke Au Hou came to
his rescue.

with a-a rock, with the exception OF
about 500 acres of fairly good grazing
land. In the disintegrated lava there
has in recent years sprung up a very
dense forest Of Ohia (an Indigenous
tree), which covers about 1000 acres
and may in time cover a greater area.
This 1000 acres Of forest land Is i'm
practicable for any purpose, even graz
ing as the rugged character of the IA
rock prevalent in the Kona district is
dangerous to life and limbs of any an
imal kind except goats. The rest is
simply barren lava waste devoid of any
vegetation arid and waterless. Conse-
quently, it SINNERS down to the fact
that the lessee has only practically 500
acres of land from which he can re-
alize anything. The lease also requires
the lessee to preserve the forest and to
reforest same in places where same ap-
pears in state of diminution, and to
keep land where practicable clear OF
