The Birds Of Hawaii.

From some of the open pastures rises
the song of the skylark, which was i'm
ported from New Zealand skylarks in
crease in number but not very quickly.
The voice of the Chinese turtle dove
the mourning dove, it is called-is
heard in the land quite near to the
valley homes; also the upward whirr
of the Mongolian and the Japanese
pheasant. Grouse and quail-the Cali
fornia valley quail-were there until
lately, but the latter have now betaken
themselves to heights of 5000 to 1000
feet, whittier the marauding mongooSe
cannot follow them. l asked a young
niece of my own who lately left Ho-
nolulu what birds visited their grounds
three miles up the valley road, and she
tells fne, Java sparrows, rice birds
and those squawking mynahs. The
last eat up all our young figs and
grapes, unless we throw the tennis nets
over them. The natives call the my
nah manu- al pilau-that is, bird who
eats filth" He does some good, then,
as we'll as i'll.
That watching of birds which is es
sential to a knowledge of their life
history has indeed been impossible to
most visitors to Hawaii. And now that
annexation is giving an impetus to
the development of the country's re-
sources, the inevitable destruction of
its forests, even if the birds themselves
do not perish with the trees that shell
tered and fed them, is driving them up
to still more inaccessible heights and
wooded depths between the sharp vol
canic peaks, which will BATTLE the har-
diest climber-Backwood Magazine.

HAWAII AND THE
PHILIPPINE BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Advocates
and opponents of the extension Of the
coastwise navigation laws to the Phil
ippines We're given n hearing today by
the House Committee on Merchant
Marine. The only opponents of this
measure who We're present We're Will
liam o. Smith of Hawaii and w. M.
Alexander of Alexander a Baldwin of
san Francisco, although former Rep
resentative George w. Farisk of In
diana gave notice that the cordage
manufacturers, whom he represents,
would probably ask for a hearing with
ir the next few days.
Smith and Alexander explained the
shipping of sugar from Hawaii to the
United States, maintaining there is not,
even at the present time, enough ship
ping to carry Hawaiian sugar from Ho-
nolulu to New York at the rate Ha-
Waiian planters want to pay. After
long drawn out controversy lasting
most of the day they substantially ad-
mitted there is an abundance of ton
mage for the purpose if they choose to
pay the rate asked. But they have set
$3.50 per ton as the price for sailing ton
mage from Honolulu to New York and
thousands of tons of American shipping
is lying idle rather than accept that
rate.
Representative McDermott of New
Jersey undertook to press this question
upon Mr.. Alexander, but could not OBJ
tain direct statement from him.
Representative Littlefield developed the
fact that Hawaiians pay SO more by
water and rail to New York than they
do for all water route in order to keep
down water rates. Winthrop l.. Mar
win of Boston presented list of thirty
one steam vessels of aggregate tonnage
more than 10000 tons which would be
available for Philippine service and
which later in the day he compelled Mr.
Alexander to admit We're not now en-
gagged in Hawaiian trade and conse-
quently that trade could not be injured
in the slightest degree by their enter
ing Philippine business. Representative
Green of Massachusetts picked up Mr..
Alexander on his statement that sufti-
cient insurance could not be obtained
for cargoes of sugar in wooden sailing
vessels.
II don't believe that" said Mr..
Greene. Il have been in the insurance
business for fifty years and that has
been my experience
II. +. Luckenbach of New York said
his firm had number of vessels, some
of which We're laid up in New York for
want of business, and all of them are
available for Philippine trade.
Captain |. Il. Thayer, representing
general shipping interests in san Fran
cisco, spoke In favor of the bill. There
is an abundance of American shipping,
he said, for both Hawaiian and Phil
ippine trade,

We clip the following from the
Searchlight "Searchlight,"
While yet nothing Official has been
done, still it can be stated on good
authority, that the strike which was
declared on June 2, 1908, just year
ago yesterday, against the Quartette
Mining company by the local
Miners.union will soon be declared
off. The steps already taken to-
wards this end consist of the closing
of the union boarding house and
the giving of permission to all
members OF the Western Federat-
ion to go to work wherever they
can secure enjoyment. Immedi-
ately after the close Of the Western
Federation convention, now in ses-
sion, a member of the executive
board will come to Searchight for
the express purpose of winding
up the affairs of the union.
The long delay action of the
union will be hailed with delight by
all interested in this district. For
six months the strike has been pro-
longed to no purpose. At that time
the union had won all that it could
ever expect to gain; capable men
were then, as now being paid the
desired scale, eight hour constitut-
ed shifts work, and in general tne
laborins mans conditions had been
greatly improved.
For months the strike has had no
effect upon the operating com
anles but on the growth and de-
velopemlnt of the district it has ex-
erted a regarding and detrimental
influence. Today Ithe reminding
members of the union are, for the
most part, men who have interests
here and who ardently wish for an
end of the strike.
Although the action already taker
practically means an end of the labor
trubles in Searchlight still the unior
does not intend to take any definite
action until authorized by the Fed
Grafton.
Searchlight will now advance BY

CAR AND CzARINA
IN A BAD STATE
REPORT THAT THEY ARE NOR
BIDLY SENSITIVE TO RUSSIAN
REVERSES AND CALAMITIES.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 4.-The
Car and Czarina are reduced to a de-
plorabe state of mind by the war. The
Car is constantly praying with aFther
John of Cronstadt, a miracle worker
and most influential parsonage religl-
ously in the Greek church, and is send
ing propitiatory offerings in all direc-
tiOns to all the famous shrines.
The Cars condition is causing grave
anxiety, as it is feared his mind may
give way. He upbraids the Minister UNI
ceasingly, although the present state of
affairs is really due to his listening to
evil counsels. His secretary, Besabra-
soft, is a tool of the Grand Ducal war
party, and with other high function
aries, hopes to reap a golden harvest
out of the war.
The Czarina practically remains in
her own apartments, going from one
paroxysm of grief into another. She
has become oppressed with the convic-
ton that all Russia's calamities are
due to her interested abandonment Of
her Protestant faith in order that she
might be married to the Car. She is
thoroughly morbid.
Reports published in the English
press of a breakdown on the Trans
Siberian Railroad should be taken with
reserve.

RH7FIZAN BLOCKS P0RH ARTHUR

LONDON, March 4.-According to the
Daily Graphic's SebastOpol correspond
ent. Admiral Skrydlof, commander in
chief of the Russian Black set fleet,
has received confirmation of the state
ments that the entrance to Port Arthur
has been blocked to the extent of i'm
prisoning the Russian battle-ships.
Therefore while the Japanese invest
the outer roads, the Russian cruisers
and torpedo boats have no hope of sue
cess should they attempt a sortie.
PARIS, March 4.-Information re-
ceived from official sources in Korea
confirms previous reports to the eff
feet that Chinnampho Is free from ice;
that the Japanese have ceased debark-
ing troops at Chemulpo and that they
have taken advantage of the opening Of
Chinnampho to land troops there, thus
expediting the forward movement.
Chinnampho is only about fifty miles
from Pin Yang.
Official advices from st. Petersburg
confirms the reports that a decisive
movement is anticipated on the part
of the Port Arthur squadron, now that
Admiral Makaroff has arrived there;
that torpedo boats especially will be
brought into play and that, in spite
of the reaors to the contrary, Russia
is understood to have an ample supply
of torpedoes for these craft.

CLAIMS CURE
FOR LEPROSY

CHICAGO, February 1O-Announce-
ment was made last night for the first
time in the history of medical profess
sion of a cure for ieprosy, a disease
considered by laity and scientists iL-
CurN bile. The Gnnounrc.n II was mad
by DR.. James Nevins Hyde, profess or
of dermatology in Rush Medical Col
lege, and a prominent Chicago special
list, in a public lecture at Kent theater,
University of Chicago.
DR.. Hyde declares also that lepros.'
is not, as has long been popularity sup
posed, contagious disease. He exhib-
tied to the audience a leper-a NJ "
Zealand Maori-whom, he says, he has
practically cured of the dread disease.
DR.. Hyde brought the Maori from New
Zealand more than a year ago.
At that time he was afflicted with
tubercular leprosy in advanced stages.
Gread red splotches appeared on his
body, and he was wholly insensible to
touch or to the effects of heat and cold.
| Now the red splotches are rapidly dis
appearing, while the patient has SEN
sitive touch and is conscious of changes
in temperature.
DR.. Hyde declared that after three
years of study and experiment among
llepers of the South Sea islands and
Oriental countries he was convinced
that the disease was not contagious. He
stated also his belief in the ability of
medical science to effect it's cure, as he
has effected the cure of the Maori by
means of natural hygienic treatment,
The idea of the contagious nature of
the disease DR.. Hyde declared to be due
to a superstition acquired from the
Bible. He said that no clean person
had even been seized with leprosy from
association with lepers.
DR.. Hyde's statements were heard by
prominent medical men Of the city with
great interest. DR.. Nicholas Sem, who
has travelled widely in Oriental coun-
! tries where leprosy is most prevalent,
said:
80 far as 1 know, this is the first an
nouncement made of a cure for leprosy.
am Of the opinion that tubercular lep-
rosy cannot be. cured. What is known
as nervous leprosy sometimes cures it.
self. Physicians who have made spe-
cial study of leprOsy have been agreed
for some time that it was no, d, cOnrd-
gious disease"
DR.. p. J, H. Farrell, who recently re-
turned from the Philippine Islands, and
who has made a special study of lep-
rosy in all countries where it is preva-
lent, said:
"Dr. Hyde's case is the first cure on
record. The announcement of it, with
the assurance from DR.. Hyde that the
disease Is not contagious, will be a re-
! violation to the medical and scientific

LONDON, March 5.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Chronicle, under
date of yesterday, sends story of a
naval duel in the straits of Pe-chi-li.
The date of the alleged fight and some
of the attendant circumstances sug
gest that the story is the outgrowth of
an incident of one Of the Port Arthur
engagements previously reported. The
correspondent says:
"A missionary at Tengchau, Shantung
province, reports that twenty Height
Japanese sailors landed there on Feb
ruary 25th They reported their YES
sci was sunk between Port Arthur and
Minotau islands in an action with a
Russian war ship, which sank before
their shiU foundered. None of the
Russians were saved. Two hundred
Japanese were rescued by Chinese
junks. The remainder of the crew
reached the islands and the mainland,
and a Chinese magistrate gave the
sailors money to aid them in reaching
Chefoo."
