BERLIN, Aug. 29.-Emperor William
met Hans Fechner, the court portrait
painter, some days ago and asked him
to make a Autograph drawing of Pres
ident Roosevelt, Fechner's Autograph

again come up and the Essex Fish
and Game Protective Association has
arranged to hold meetings in Newark
and along the New Jersey coast to
open a campaign against the pound
net fishermen.
Pound nets raise a very interesting
point, which should be thoroughly
considered before acted upon. While
there are some bad features to the
wholesale manner of fishing, it might
be we'll for some of our inland
neighbors to ask themselves whether
they would prefer seeing a few of
their sportive friends going for a
days outing aud return with a string
OF fish which they divide among
themselves and a neighbor or two, or
whether they would rather see the
fish man come along with the tooth
some blue or weak fish to sell so that
all might have a chance to enjoy a
good dinner.
If an angler comes home with a
string of seventy-five or 100 fish he is
at a loss to know what to do with
them all. His pride prevents him
from selling them, and in a great
many instances the fish are wasted.
| Without the pound nets such catches
would be frequent.
No angler has been heard to COM
plain of the lack of sport on Raritan
bay this summer and catches of over
100 weak fish have been numerous.
This, too, with the entire lower bay
filled with pound nets. At the same
time many fishermen have been earn
ing a good living all summer with
their nets ana the 1resn HSh, thus
caught, have been peddled in all the
surrounding towns as we'll as within
driving distance inland, so that those
! who have not the time to go fishing
themselves, have been able to enjoy
a fresh blue or weak fish on his
dinner table quite often.
There is no doubt but that the
pound nets can be greatly overdone
and made o nuisance. At the same
time there is grave doubt as to the
propriety of prohibiting them al
together. In this respect we take
issue with our contemporary the
Trenton Times.

AS the time for the political con-
ventions approach it becomes more
apparent that the Republicans are 60
ing to nominate Assemblyman Jackson
for senator. The Democrats, as is
their custom, seem to be keeping low,
saying nothing, but watching to see
what the Republicans will do.
Although Assemblyman Cannon
has announced that he is not a can
didate for the democratic senatorial
nomination, it would appear that as
time passes he is really the man for
the Democrats to name and if this
was brought to bear upon Mr.. Gan
non, it is very probable that he
would accept. Mr.. Cannon Is per-
fectly satisfied with going back to
the assembly for another year, and
his constituents are perfectly satisfied
wltf his record there:
Al the same time, this record would
o a long way toward making Mr..
|Gannon senator. The only other
name mentioned prominently for the
Democratic nomination is that of
TIehmann, of New Brunswick.
Politicians of both parties have de-
clared that Mr.. Jackon, if he should be
the Republican nominee, could beat
the Mayor at the county seat. This
being the case, Mr.. jackson has a
good chance in Perth Amboy and if
he can carry both cities there is little
doubt but that he would be elected.
With Mr.. Cannon on the democratic
ticket for senator. however, the Dem
ocrats could carry Perth Amboy and
would have a fighting chance in New
Brunswick. 1t is very probable that
enough votes in the township could
be secured to elect him. Mr.. Gan
mons handsome maiorities in this
section of the county last year is
evidence of his popularity ~ bis as
sembly record has tended to Increase
this.

that it may have to be repaired. The
machine was all ready to fly when the
freeze stiffened to ten miles an hour,

Thus spoke Sir Thomas Upton as he

the Horseshoe. 1t was the first time
the Irish baronet had spoken freely on
the subject since the cup races began,
and there was a note of pathetic sad

ut is not pleasant to say, but it is an
honest truth, the brains in yacht build

in H~erreshoff. He is as wonderful as
his work. Who can fail to call him the

TAYLOR WANTS
TO GROW HOPS
AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER
SENDS SOME PLANTS AND WILL
RETURN ON THE ALAMEDA.

Agricultural Commissioner Wray
Taylor sent a number of hop roots by
the steamship Gaelic and a letter was
received from him stating that he
would return by the Alameda next
week. Taylor is working on his annual
report while attending to other mat
ters in San Francisco and will prob
ably have it nearly completed when he
gets back.
The sending of hop plants is a new
experiment here. The growth of hops
has not been tried in Hawaii, but in
the opinion of some of those who are
familiar with the nlant, it is likely to
prove a success. The roots sent here
are from the Cox Seed Company. There
are twenty-four of them, just sprout-
ing.
Professor r. c. L. Perkins received
the hops this morning and suggested
that the plants be divided into two lots,
one to be planted on low lands and the
other higher up. "They are a new ex-
pertinent here" he said, "and no one
knows just where they will thrive the
best"

The work Of redeeming the Hawaiian
silver has begun.
Fifty thousand dollars in United
States silver coins arrived this morning
by the Ventura to begin the work of
redemption. More will come as fast
as it is ordered.
Anyone with Hawaiian silver can get
American silver in exchange for it now
at the First National bank or probably
at any of the banks. AS a rule, here
after, at any rate if the American silver
is shipped here fast enough, the banks
will not pay out Hawaiian silver. When
they receive 1t over their counters it
will be made up into packages of con-
venent size and redeemed through the
First National bank which has been
designated by the Treasurer of the
United States the fiscal agency for this
purpose.
The First National bank received
through the mail today advices from
the Treasurer of the United States no.
tifying it of a shipment of $50,000 to be
made and how the redemption was to
proceed. At the same time it received
nOtlCe from the superintendent or the
Mint at San Francisco of the shipment
by the Ventura of the $4,000, and early
in the day the fifty boxes containing it
were transferred from the strong room
of the Ventura to the vaults of the
bank. Immediately on receipt of the
advices and the money the First Ma
tional Bank sent word to each of the
other banks, notifying them of the
receipt of the money and offering to re-
deem Immediately for each bank about
$751; 900 of Hawaiian silver or any por-
ton of it they desired. In this way
the entire $4,000 would be distributed
among the banks and each of them
would be enabled to retire from circu-
lation at once all Hawaiian coins re-
ceived over their counters in the course
of current business.
All Hawaiian coins paid into the GUS
tom house or the internal revenue Office
will be retired at once as it is not per-
mitted to be paid out but must be de-
posted with the First National bank
which will redeem it.
1t is expected that it will not take
very long to redeem the bulk of the
Hawaiian coin, though it is thought
that a proportion of it will remain in
circulation for long time, and small
Ter, but perhaps in the aggregate,
considerable portion will remain unre-
deemed, boarded, not in circulation for
still longer time. After this year it

WENT TO JAIL
TO SAVE FATHER
JOAQUIN SILVA PLEADS GUILTY
OF DISTILLING LIQUOR-JUDGE|
CUTS WILCOX'S SENTENCE.

Joaquin Silva, young Portuguese
who is said to have stepped into the
breach and pleaded guilty to distilling
liquor in order to save his father from
serving time, was successful in having
his sentence cut in half by Judge De
Bolt this morning. Silva is seventeen
years of age and was arrested in his
fathers place, where there was an
okolehao still capable of holding a
large quantity of liquor. The father
who is well long in years. was also
arrested, as the owner of the still. The
boy agreed to plead guilty if his father
was not prosecuted and he was SEN
fenced to months hard labor and a
fine of $500.
This morning Attorney H. w. Robin
son made a plea for mercy, on the
grounds of the boys youth and previous
good character. He also claimed that
the circumstances of the case showed
that young Silva had not done a regular
distillery business, and called attention
to the boys statement that he had only
been making a bit of okolehao for
Christmas Robinson wanted sentence
suspended
Judge De Bolt said that he thought
the punishment was not in proportion
to the offense. "The tendency of the
circuit courts should be to uphold the
DEGREES of the district magistrate" said
the court The man who occupies the
district bench is qualified as perhaps no
other is for the position he holds. His
knowledge of the various races here
and of the individuals of the COM
munity is perhaps not equalled by that
of any other.
But like all of us, he cannot always
be quite right, and it seems to me that
the punishment of 6 months and a fine
of $500 is out of all proportion to the
state of facts as shown here. 1t may
be that the district magistrate had
other facts presented to him, but upon
the showing made here | do not see
that the sentence is justified"
Judge De Bolt asked Attorney Cen
eral Andrews If he was willing to move
for suspension of sentence, but An
drews declined. The court then i'm
posed sentence of three months hard
labor and a fine of $3.50.

MAY MAKE KOREA
AN OIL BURNER
EXPERTS MAKE SPECIAL TRIP ON
VESSEL TO HONOLULU TO DE-
TERMINE FUEL SYSTEM.

1t is not improbable that the Pacific
Mail S. 5. Company may convert the
Korea and all of the vessels of it's line
into oil burners. Experts are, it is un-
derstood, investigating the new fuel for
the company. Two experts made
special trip on the S. S. Korea from
San Francisco to this port for the pur-
pose of acquainting themselves with
the workings of the vessel and deter
mining what is necessary to convert
her into an oil burner.
The purpose of these gentlemen was
not generally known. In fact their
mission was kept secret and not un-
til after they had returned to San
Francisco on the S. S. China last week
did any hint of the nature of their trip
became known.
One of the men was an expert on the
use of oil as fuel and the other is un-
derstood to have been a marine engi-
neer. one particular point on which
the two men took observation was the
amount of coal consumed together with
the various details of the use of coal
in making the quick trip that the Ko-
rea did. Her coal bill must have been
expensive for that part of the trip.
No announcement has been made by
the Pacific Mail people, but since the
success of the Oceanic Company in the
use of oil as fuel on their ships, ii is
not improbable that the Pacific Mail
will desire to introdGce similar fuel on
their boats. 1t would be an immense
saving both in the cost of labor as we'll
as the cost of fuel The Mail company
has, it is also reported had their ex-
perts watching the actual use Of the
oil on the vessels Of the Oceanic COM

The First National bank has cabled
asking for the shipment of $400, 900 of
United States silver to carry on the
redemption of the Hawaiian coinage.
Collector Chamberlain received the
same instructions as the other officials
regarding the Hawaiian money. The
order makes little or no difference with
the internal revenue office. Hawaiian
silver coins, though not legal tender,
have been received at par by the bu-
reau as they have been received by all
business firms here, because the banks
were all willing to take them on depQ-
sit. Collector Chamberlain will con-
tinue to take them in for payments,
and he will also exchange American for
Hawaiian coins, when there are Amer
lean coins in the office. The money
will be deposited as before, and the
bank will carry out the rest of the pro-
gramme.
