PEELED to get out of bed at a. m. for
many, many months to report by cable
to the mainland the state of the
weather in Honolulu. There is no ap-
preparation from Congress yet for the
purpose of obtaining the record and
no money will be available during the
present session.
Prof. Lyons received word when the
cable was laid that he would probably
be required to send a local weather
report to the weather men in San
Francisco and Washington in the wee
sma' hours. Since then he has been
advised that this will not be required
until some time in the future. The
professor expects that when the ap-
preparation is made it Will be for the
establishment of a complete weather
bureau with men detailed to keep tab
on the weather as in all parts of the
United States. An thermometer will
have to be erected on the topmost por-
ton of the weather station. This in
strument. connected by electricity with
the recording mechanism below, must
be put far above tree tops and in a
place entirely free from wind obstruc-

Marriage Performed by signature

Marriage Performed by Signature.
There are always a number Of mar
riages on board the cody ships which
ply between Calcutta and the West
Indies. The coolies are very fond Of
marrying before entering on their pc
Rod of servitude. Sometimes as many
as a hundred of them will want the
nuptial knot tied.
The captain Of any British ship has
legal power to marry people, but the
master Of one Of these cody vessels
has grown tired of reading the Angli-
can service fifty or sixty times a voy-
age. So he has had a number Of forms
printed with the essential parts Of the
service. The bride and bridegroom
step into the cabin, sign one Of these
forms, have it witnessed and become
man and wife. No questions are
asked. They simply sign their names.
1t is the quickest kind Of marriage
on record, but the British authorities
have declared it to be perfectly valid.

officers had no trouble in keeping the
tramps off the trains and they did
not remain in town very long after
they saw it was impossible to get a
free ride. The company was ahead
on tie manner of keeping the tramps
off, as in a great many instances they
bought tickets to Letcher and beat
the rest of the way to Aberdeen.
Just so the method does not result in
the tramps mobilizing in this city
there will be no objections tc keep
ing them off the freight trains.

MAPLE LEAF CUTS RATES
Makes Low-Priced Contracts on Az
sricuItural Implements to Get
Round Elkin's Law.

CHICAGO. March 13.-President stickney
OF the Chicago Great Western has secured
long time contracts with the international
Harvester company and the agricultural
implement manufacturers of the middle
west to carry their product from Chicago.
st. Paul and other cities to Missouri river
points at a rate 80 per cent below the pres
ent tariff.
Mr.. Stickney's action. Il is said, Is due to
the Elkins law, which prevents dlscrimina-
tion and departure from tariff rates. Under
its provisions traffic men had decided that
rate cutting must cease. The weak lines,
however, were quick to see that under an
absolute maintenance Of rates in ordinary
times they would get but a small proper
ton OF the business. The only recourse
left was to make contracts and put in
tariffs to cover them.
At a meeting held here today by the
Central Freight association the lines de-
cided simply to send copies OF the Elkins
act to their agents, with Instructions 70
obey its provisions. It was held that It
does not make anything an offense which
was not an ofTense under former laws and
that 1t does not prevent free storage and
similar favors granted upon necessity to
patrone.

WASHINGTON March 18.-Ten minutes
after converting to-day the senate, on motion
OF Mr.. Culloms went into executive ses-
sion. @
Senator Morgan severely criticised At
torney Generaf Knox's opinion as to the
validity Of the title to the canal property
which can be given by the New Panama
Canal company This opinion he attacked
as defective in some points and especially
in its failure to deal with the Jurisdiction
of the French courts which have passed
upon the canal company's title. He
claimed that the, French courts had over
stepped their legitimate authority in as
Stunning to dispose of property situated in
Colombia and the limitations and ~restrie-
items imposed BY the Colombian govern
ment on its agent, the International Inter
oceanic Canal association.
Colombia Alone Could Sell.
He commended that as Colombia never
really had parted with the canal zone and
as that country was guaranteed an annual
income Of $3.50, 900 for. the proposed canal
1t was the ultimete sole beneficiary of the
enterprise and the company merely the re-
cipient of tolls.
He claimed, therefore, the the decree OF
the French court authorizing the sale to
the United States was void, because an in
vasion Of the rights of Colombia. He also
contend5da that the French legislation
designed to, validate the acts Of the French
courts was clearly without authority as
the documents Of the court.
Taking up the question OF responsibility
of the United States for debts OF the French
company he said: e.
"A matter that. Is OF, the deepest con-
nAEn a. H. - -
is that every stakeholder in the old COM
pany is bound to the creditors of that COM
pany by mutual express agreement for a
sum equal to the face value Of shares held
by him for the payment OF those debts"
Then discussing the effects of the Pam
anna company to, secure an extension Of its
concession, he declared that this was ac-
complished In 1900 for the sole purpose Of
unloading the enterprise OF the United
States.
This company" he said, bought from
the president Of, Colombia for 5000, 900
francs in French coin, to be paid in Paris,
a prolongation Of the extension for six
years from, October 21, 1904. This proposed
agreement was laid before the congress of
Colombia and rejected. The constitution
and laws Of Colombia required that such
contracts should be confirmed by congress,
but the. president Of Colombia in violation
of both laws and the constitution signed
the contract and received the $1,000. 900 in
gold from. the new Panama Canal company.
The house of representatives thereupon
voted that, the ONCE of the president Of
Colombia Yves, vacant and dissolved"
Early in the day Senator German an
nounced his intention to call a democratic
caucus. for tomorrow. but when the senate
adjourned at $3.50 1t was stated that the
caucus had, been postponed until Monday.

said:

Many nervous disorders that cause life
long suffering are caused by a shock to the
nerves. In the case of Mr.. Harmon It
was caused by an accident that narrowly
escaped being fatal. In a majority OF
cases the cause Of the shock is soon for
gotten, but the injury to the nerves is
lasting. Partial paralysis is often traced
to such causes as this. A nerve and spinal
tonic which will carry renewed health and
strength to the nerves, IL used in time,
will save years OF suffering. DR.. Will
