committee recommends that the item
pass.
The item Passenger steamer service
between Molukai Maui and Lanai by
way of Pukoo to and return $1,000,
your committee finds VIII be fully COW
cred by the passage Of the previous
item, as amended by the committee.
We therefore recommend that the
item be stricken out and the following
be inserted in lieu thereof: Freight on
parcels for lepers at settlement from
all islands. $1,000"
Your committee recommends that the
item Telephone system, Leper Settle
ment to Peekuui, Wailau. Halawa,
Pukoo Hamalo. Kauuakakai and Ka-
leoSalaau Point, $1,000" pass as in the
bill
This telephone system if connected
with the wireless telegraph system will
be of great assistance to the Board of
Health in the way of securing sup
plies etc, for use at the settlement,
and that from outside use of the same
charge can be made which will con-
sideraby help in the maintenance of
the system. Your committee therefore
recommends that this item pass with
the following amendment: add the
words Ito be CONNECTED with the Wire
less Telegraph station on Molokai."

TO NEGOTIATE IN
SAN FRANCISCO
FINAL NEGOTIATIONS FOR SET
ELEMENT OF PEARL HARBOR
CASE.

The negotiations pending the settle
ment of the suit of the U. S. Govern
ment against the Honolulu Plantation
Company, will be concluded in all prob
ability, in San Francisco and not at
this place. The negotiations incidental
to the offer of compromise, are more
than likely to be conducted in San
Francisco directly between Admiral
Bradford the chief of Bureau of Equip
ment for the Navy Department and the
board of Directors of the Honolulu
Plantation, through their attorneys F.
NJ. Hatch and Judge r. D. Silliman. Mr..
Hatch is now on the coast while Judge
Siiliman departed last Tuesday on the
Ventura for San Francisco.
1t is well known that Judge Silliman's
departure was FASTENED by reason of
the necessity of his presence at the prob
able negotiations with the Chief of
Bureau of Equipment. The negotiations
are in no way being held in allegiance
so far>as the arrival here of Command
der Pond at Honolulu is concerned, but
if there is any delay, it is probably due
to the necessity of waiting for the ar
rival of Judge Silliman.
The matter of the compromise has
been pending for some time past. The
United States government desires to
cut down the last award of 100000 for
the Honolulu Plantation company's
lease on the Pearl Harbor land. 1t
is understood that $4,000 is the price
that has been named and is under con-
sideration by the various parties to the
action.

MADE A HIT.
Jessie Norton and Corrigan Fairly
Bring Down the House.

The promise of the EIleford Company
that several of their strongest bills had
been reserved until the last, was made
good last night when Kidnapped was
produced at the Orpheum. The play
which is decidedly of the spectacular
order, introducing a burning cellar, an
abduction in a regulation hack, a SEN
sational murder and other exciting
scenes is plentfully besprinkled with
comedy and the combination brought
shouts of approval from the audience
that could have been heard blocks
away.
The comedy led by Jessie Norton,
Corrigan and Sosso, was irresistibly
funny. The sayings and doings of the
Irish couple and their Dutch son-in-law
eliminating in a cakewalk by the
Hibernian pair. kept the whole house in
constant delight. Jessie Norton's spe-
cialties were given in her best manner
and "Scandalous Eyes" fairly brought
down the house
Miss Elliott as the prosecuted heroine
and Lando as the prosecutor gave
/ strong delineations of their roles and
Myrtle Selwyn ably assisted the comedy
The company throughout lived up to
their reputation as a we'll balanced
combination. Kidnapped with the re
putation it earned last night, will prob
ably pack the Orpheum once more this
evening.

TELEPHONES
FOR MOLOKAI
APPROVES AN ITEM OF
$1,000 TO ENLARGE THE SYSTEM
ON THAT ISLAND.

The special committee of the senate
reported on the six months appropria-
ton bill under the Board of Health. The
committee says
The items segregation, support and
treatment of lepers, $245OO; medical
treatement of lepers, $4,000" and Ka-
laupapa Store Crowded, however,
clothes ration allowance be issued
quarterly at the rate of SIG per year for
each person. $4,000" have been tho
roughly investigated by your commit
tee and we believe the same to be
segregated in way that will produce
the most benefit for the unfortunates
at the settlement.
Your committee therefore recon-
mends that all of the above items pass
as in the bill
With reference to the item "Provf-
sions and ration supplies for settlement,
provided the paiai ration be 25 pounds,
and the beef ration be s pounds per
weekly ration $35, 800" your committee
would recommend that the paiai ration
be reduced to 23 pounds per weekly ra-
ton, which amount your committee
ment your committee recommends that
the item pass.
Your committee has investigated the
item Queens Hospital, $12,500," and
finds that the trustees of the institution
make annual financial reports to the
Board of Health. We believe $4,000 to
be a sufficient sum for this legislature
to appropriate for this institution ana
recommend that the item pass at this
amount and that the trustees of the
hospital in future make an annual
statement of all receipts and expendi-
lures from all sources to the board of
health.
Your committee recommends the fol-
lowing amendment to the item Freight
and Passenger guarantee for passenger
steamer, $1,000" Add the following

Kamalo, Pul0oo, Halawa, Wailau, Pele-
kuni and Kalaupapa, Yanai and Koha-

RELICS OF SOUTHLAND
INTERPRETING ARTICLES PLACED
 IN STATE ARCHIVES.
Replica of Seal of Confederacy Sent from New York to Director owen-Pictuves of Two
 Prominent Men.

Several interesting relics of the Soutn- land and of Alabama were received yes terday at the State Department or Ar chives and History by Director Thomas M. Owen.
 Perhaps the most interesting of these relics Is a replica, or bronze impression, of the great seal of the Confederate States which was sent to the department by pr. Leroy Pope Walker of New York City a son of Gen. Leroy Pope Walker This bronze seal. or replica, has inscrib- ed around the border the words, ''fhe Confederate States of America. 9 Febru- ary, 1ss2. Dec vindice." The design of the seal represents in It's central figure the equestrian statue of George Washington after the statue in q park in Washing ton, D. C. There is . wreath around the figure showing the resources of the Con- federacy-cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat and sugar corn. The design of the seal was adopted, as the date indicates. on WashIngton's birthday. February 22. 1t was drawn by Wyon of the British hints
 Additional interest clusters about this replica because of the fact that the seal was lost when Richmond was evacuated by Southern soldiers and, notwithstand- Ing the United States government has made every effort, the seal has not been recovered.
 The impression, or replica; received by Director owen was made Into bronze from a wax impression.
 The department has also received a photographic fac-simile of the commits sion issued to "Lancelot Johnston, gent, !" as surgeon of the 9th Battalion, North Carolina troops, in the Revolutionary War. The commission Is dated May 1O TIT.
 LancelOt Johnston was the great-srand- father of David Johnston, clerk of the Montgomery Circuit Court. He has pre- served the original commission and pre- sented the facsimile to the department.
 From Mrs. Dora Bragg Beers of Mont gomery the department has received on excellent photograph of her father, Judge John Bragg, and Miss Virginia McKin- stry of Mobile, has sent splendid pho tograph of her father. Alexander MeKin- st-y, Republican Lieutenant Governor of Alabama from 1879 to 1874.

FOOD Vs. DRUGS. A. Drug Mans Wisdom that Counts.

It's a shrewd man who, while in the drug business, learns that although drugs are all right in their place, the use of proper food will make medicine unneces- sary in the majority of cases.
 ''Traveling through various towns" writes a drug salesman from Lancaster, Pa. drinking different waters to which I was not accustomed, eating strangely prepared meats at irregular hours. I contr acted dyspepsia. accompanied by nervousness. loss of sleep and conse- quently loss of energy. l often had the blues that indescribably tough feeling which makes one look on the dark side of every picture, and see the shadows of life rather than the substance, imagine the thousand calamities that were never in existence. and so render life almost unbearable Many thousands of men un- der the circumstances would have re- sorted to stimulation from drugs or liquor.
 happened to read an article on Grape Nuts about a case similar to my own and determined to give the food d trial. It agreed with me from the start and the miserable distress that usually came after eating did not manifest itself when ate Grape Nuts. asked for this food at every hotel at which l stopped and made if the principal part of the meal. My stomach soon got so that could eat any kind of rich food iE connection with
