ROMANTIC But NOT MERE ROMANCE.

Seldom has there been published
such a stirring story as, the, one Civ
en- to its readers by the Star yestcr-
day concerning the objects Of the
cruise OF the United States cruiser
Tacoma. That there should be
possibility that there may be surviv-
ors of the Inflated United States
sloop of war Leyant, marooned for
forty-four years on an island Of the
Pacific, seems scarcely credible at
first thought, and yet, why not?
The force of evidence, the sequence
of circumstances, has been so
strong as to indqeq, the Secretary
of the Navy to Send out one of the
new cruisers of the navy on this
mission. As Mr., Hague. very ef-
fectively put it, if a year only had
elapsed since the sailing Of the Lee
want, the circumstances of the re-
peated reporting of an, island in a
given locality, With ali the other
circumstances Would lraye aroused
in many and sane minds, the pos
sibility of survivors fromthe wreck,
and the sending, Of a vessel in
search would have appealed to all
minds as the least that could be
done. But the ,condftions necessary
ali. : .f..g
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-05-19

and possibility at the end of forty
four years. The possibility of sur
vivors is only lessened by the less
ened probability of lives lasting
that long. If any survived the
wreck, some of them may have
survived the lapse of forty-four
years.
Some effort has been made to
weaken the force of Mr.. Hague's
argument that the Levant was
wrecked and did not founder, by a
suggestion that Mr.. Hague does
not know much about life at sea,
and the conditions of shipwreck.
But the fact is that few men know
more of these things than he does.
He has sailed the Pacific ocean ov-
err. He has visited most of the little
islets which stretch along the equa-
tor and have in times past furnished
guano for the market. More than
forty years ago he was interested
with 5. G.. Wilder in the guanO
trade of Bakers and Jevon's islands
and other islands. He knows the
Pacific ocean well. ILL.,.
He is a man of affairs, captain
of industry. He isno dreamer. Yet
the evidence has appealed to- him,
and through him it has appealed to
the Secretary of the Navy" 1t is
romantic, but it cannot be dismiss
ed as a mere romance.

The wealth of Russia in furs is be-
ing rapidly Slapped. 1t is reported
that in a certain district of the Yenisei
government, where fifty years ago
hunters annually shot 2S, 900 sable, 5000
bears, $4,000 foxes, $4,000 blue foxes,
100000 squirrels, 5000 wolves and 2OO,
900 hares, hardy a sable can be found
today. The blame is laid to the wan
ton destruction of wild animals In the
course of the hunting expeditions. No
steps seem to have been taken to eff
fectively put stop to this,

1t is stated that the cultivation of
sugar beets will be undertaken in Eng
land. 1t is claimed that there are
over 100000 acres available for this
cultivation. The first definite project
is located in Yorkshire. The East
Riding of that county is claimed to be
peculiarly well adapted in its soil for
the cultivation of the sugar beet. A
company has been formed for putting
up the machinery. Some of sugar
producing colonies win object no
doubt.

In the matter of adjustment of the
Lahainaluna controversy there are two
distinct propositions. The one was
for back rent of small school sites, and
some land near Lahainaluna. The
other was the water matter. This has

The Territory makes no claim Tor any
back rent for water. 1t is an adjust
