~HawaiI's PROGRESS.

Annexation to the United States appears
to have been very helpful to the agrtcul
tural industries of the Hawaiian islands.
AS result there has been a marked in
crease in the products of the islands. The
imports of tropical and subtropical prod
ucts into the, United States from Hawaii
in 1902 amounted to over $329,000,000, all
increase of over $4,000 900, as compared
with 1880. To increase your mental and

Grain Hung, Up In Chicago.

~ Fully 100000 bushels of grain are
stored In Chicago awaiting transportation
eastward. The roads are totally unable
to. provide cars for the movement, and
give no promises when cars can be had.
Western roads have ordered their traffic
men not to slicit nor accept grain for
movement to Chicago until further notice,
and the condition promises to become
worse before it is better. This was illus
trated to-day, when the Lake Shore Off
Gals promised to send Armour & Co
twenty-five cars to be loaded with grain,
and found that the best they could do was
twelve. It is estimated that railroads
centering in Chicago could make immedi-
ate use of at least $4,000 more cars.

BAN not YET READY
American League President Still
Keeps Secret Location Of
New York Grounds.
Park May Not Be Completed in
Time to Be Used This
Season.

At the conclusion of yesterdays session
of the American Baseball league in New
York President Johnson declared posi-
lively that the location of the playing
grounds and all details of the New York
American League club would be made
public this evening.
It is rumored here that legal complica-
lions stand between the American league
and a new baseball park in this city. 1t
is said that these complications will be ex-
tremely hard to overcome, and 1t is even
limited that President johnson is not sure
that park will be secured for playing this
season. .rs ...," .--E .-.r
The friends of the league are far from
sanguine, while the National leaguers are
jubiant. Already they are on the point
Of saying. II told you so" for they believe
firmly that the American league will not
have a park here this year
The baseball fans Of New York hailed
President Johnson when he went there
for the first time filled with promises
which he gave out freely, but since In
their estimation he has failed ito make
good, they are beginning to think that
after all much of the talk was but wind.
Outside Of this one phase, however, he
has made a wonderful impression. That
an American league team would receive
enormous support in New York is certain.
The populace would stretch out Its arms
TO welcome anything LldC WOulu Nelp "
GUST the monotony of another New York
team such as the National league has had
! here for the past few years.
1t will be long time, however, before

work upon them is begun now. The state
| ment made some time ago that the season
| would be more than month old before an
American league team played in New York

as if the season is likely to be two months

After an eleven-round fight last night
at Hot Springs with Steve Crosby of Lou
isville, Joe Cans, light weight champion,
successfully defended his title, doing most
of the fighting and showing superiority
in every detail.
The two men weigh about 1874 pounds.
Tommy Ryan, the middle-weight cham
pion, acted as referee, and Honest John
Kelly was timekeeper. The fight was q

Kissed repeatedly.
In the eighth round Crosby was knocked
through the ropes. He was repeatedly
knocked down, and when, in the eleventh
round, Cans was punching him all over
the ring, the latter's seconds threw UP
the sponge. The fight was for a purse Of
$4,000, the winner getting $4,000 and the
loser $1,000.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien arrived in
Buffalo yesterday and wired AL Smith of
New York that he would on next Tues
day post $4,000. which, with the $1,000
already posted, will make $1,000, the sum
Fitzsimmons posted to-day. OBrien said
that he would prefer fighting in the east,
where he is SO much better known, than
in Frisco. He believes that he and Fitz-
simmons would draw a great deal more
