MISSION AWAITS
NEWS FROM ROME

The Papal See at Rome has sent no
word to the Catholic Mission here as
to who will be the successor of the
late Bishop of Panopolis. The Con-
sistory for the election of Bishops to
vacancies was to meet at Rome the
latter part of April. and the local Mis-
sion members have been anticipating
news from there at any time as to its
choice.
The only recent news Of any conse-
quence affecting the personnel of the
Sacred Hearts order, of which the
Mission is part. was the receipt of a
cablegram on Holy Saturday, from
high officer of the order in Belgium,
notifying the priests of the expulsion
of the order from France. The head
quarters, which had formerly been in
Paris, had then been established in
Belgian town just across the French
border. q

DRIED VEGETABLES
AT HIGHER RATE

The Board of General Appraisers at
New York has sustained the Collector
OF Customs here in his ruling in regard
to the appraising for duty Of Oriental
dried vegetables. There were 105 pro-
tests in the case, which turned upon
the question OF whether or not the veg
etables should be classed as "vege-
tables, prepared and preserved" or
vegetables, in their natural state"
The collector collected customs at 40 per
cent under the first classification. and
the protest was based on the second
claim. which would make the duty only
rs per cent.
1t was shown that the vegetables
were dried. often being cut in small
pieces. The substances were as fol-
lows: dried cut radish. warima, dried
lily flower, zemmi. dried lalas, dried
bamboo shoots, dried lotus and dried
lotus roots.
The Collector Is upheld in each Of the
los cases.

WILL NOT PRESS
LAND EXCHANGE

The Treasury Department has for the
time being gone out Of the business of
securing land for the postoffice Site
Owing to the fact that there has been
no congressional action there is a feel
ing that the department cannot take
any steps toward the winding up Of
the business. The decision of the de-
partment is conveyed in the following
letter to Collector Stackable:
Treasury Department,
Office of the Secretary,
Washington, April II. 1903.
The Collector of Customs, Honolulu,
H. I.
Sir: Referring to the proposed eX-
change of certain Territorial lands for
property of the Bishop Estate in your
city to secure site for Federal build
ing, Won are requested to inform the
representatives of said estate that while
the Department looks with favor up
on the proposed exchange, it feels that
in the absence of legislation expressly
directing the securing of a site for a
Federal building at Honolulu, the De-
partment is not justified in authorizing
the exchange to be made and therefore
can do nothing in the matter at this
time.
Respectfully,
a. b.. ARMSTRONG,
Assistant Secretary.
