Mr.. Edison now says that he is making

machinery was ready for turning out
the batteries in great numbers last
winter, but that method was found
by which it was possible to reduce the
time occupied for charging, and on this
account all the machinery had to be
remodelled. If, indeed the new bat

TO FIGHT THE REFINERs.

CITY OF MEXICO, February lit is
rumored here that the Mazatlan Gov
eminent has in contemplation the ad-
mission of sugar from Cuba free of
duty in order to forestall the operations
of the combine that recently purchased
the entire product or three of the
leading sugar producing States of
Southern Mexico. Since the deal was
put through by the combine, sugar has
steadily advanced in price, causing
loud complaints by consumers. 1t is
believed that if the price goes higher
the Government will use it's power in
behalf of the consumers and put sugar
on the free list as it did wheat when it
was found necessary to relieve the
shortage of breadstuffs.

AN INTERESTING
HAWAIIAN RELIC
HOLUA DATING FROM FOUR
TENTH CENTURY PRESENTED
TO BISHOP MUSEUM.

COL w. II, Cornwell has presented to
the Bishop Museum, one Of the most
noteworthy specimens of the ancient
Hawaiian "hOlua," known to be in eX-
istence The Museum authorities con-
slider this specimen of an exceedingly
rare implement used by the ancient
Hawaiians as one of the most valuable
contributions to that branch of the Mu-
seums treasures that has been made
for some time.
The 'holua' was a sort of sled upon
which the Hawaiians Coasted down the
steep sides of the hills, kindred in the
spirit which prompts to coasting or
tobogganning on the snow covered hills
of colder ATTITUDES,
The holua presented by Col Cornwell,
while not quite a perfect specimen in
its class, is of class exceedingly rare
this specimen being believed to have
been made especially for the great Ma
vi chief Kahekili who lived at the close
OF the fourteenth century. AS original
ly constructed it consisted of a pair of
runners each about sixteen feet long
and five inches in depth curved up
wards at the forward end, and dashed
together through holes. Upon this was
built up seats for the riders in this eX-
hilarating, but perilous sport The
runners are of Kauila wood, finely
grained specimens of that strong and
heavy growth.
Col Cornwell discovered them in an
old adobe house in Lahana about two
years ago. How they came there is not
known The house is a very old one,
and 1t is supposed that some time.
many years ago, this holua was placed
in the loft of the house where it was
found, and was forgotten. The house
in course of time came to be occupied
by an old native couple The man
found the holua in the loft, and not
approaching it's value as relic or me-
mortal, used the upper part, the royal
seat in making some repairs to his
canoe. Col. Cornwel found it before
the work of destruction had been COM
pleted and rescued it. Yesterday he
presented it to the Bishop Museum, and
it is now installed in the collections of
that institution.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
An Unknown Mexican Fatally Injured
 ill the M. 6 P. Yards.

A Mexican. who as yet has not been identified, was struck by the engine of the incoming Mesa train between s and g o'clock yesterday morning and injured so badly he died about o'clock in the afternoon.
 The train crew consisted of Dave Strahl, conductor; Fred Phelps, en- Einee-; Ross Montgomery. fireman, and Fred Riley. brakeman. The incident occurred just this side of the whistling post east of the city. and the train crew, or at least some mem bers of it, saw the man walking on the track. After the whistle was blown at the post it was repeatedly "tooted' but the man paid no attention to it. and the emer- gency brake was finally applied. but the train could not be stopped till the man was under the pilot.
 He was taken to the Sisters hospital (t once and Dr. Duffield called to at tend him. An examination showed no evidence of internal injury and his most serious external injuries were in the hip and between the ankle and knee of one leg. He had sustained at tho point last named a compound co1nrlin- uteu fracture So SellouS lndl IL "da evident amputation would necessarily follow before he could recover.

RAILROAD NEWS
Progress of Construction of the Phoe-
 nix and Eastern.

J. H. Emmert, assistant to President
 Murphy. and w A. Drake, superin-
 tendent of the S. F., P. & P, and
 Phoenix & Eastern railroads, came
 down from Prescott yesterday morning,
 returning again on this mornings train. Mir Emmert recently returned
 from trip east, where he was in con-
 sultation with President Murphy and it
 was thought likely he might be in position to announce something of an
 unusually interesting nature ill re-
 spect of railroad news. He said though that he had nothing at the present time 1 to be interviewed upon other than that
 he expected MT. Murphy would finish his present business in the east and return home in the course of month. Superintendent Drake was very busy yesterday inspecting new work on the r. & E. and betterment of the $. F.,
 r. & P. line north. in this valley. He took trip out the line to the desert beyond Peoria inspecting repair work going on between here and that point and then made q trip in the other di- rectiCn to Mesa over the T. !& E. line. He says the new permanent steel bridge across the river a. Tempe is about ready for the steel. the founda- | ton work being completed. It will have to rest where it is fer the sum mer for the, sole reason that steel car-
 not be secured before September. In
 the meantime the temporary bridge is | in Go0d condition for traffic purposes. The depots at both Mesa City and Tempe are completed though the rails have not been laid to Mesa yet. Twelve miles of track are finished and the steel will be laid into Mesa just as soon as it can be secured. The pile driving for all the little bridges has ] been finished for eight miles beyond
 tile end of the track or twenty miles east of Phoenix and the grade is finish cd for thirty three miles which is about
 fifteen miles beyond Mesa City. There is nothing holding back construction
 now but the scarcity of material,
 which the company is getting as fast as possible.
