GAS ADDICKS AND
FRIENDS GET IN
Republican Committee Votes to
Seat Delaware Faction and
breads Wisconsin

CHICAGO, June 16.-After deciding
several state contests ON delegates at
large to the Republican national con-
vention and several district contests,
the Republican national committee ad-
Journed until tomorrow, leaving the
biggest fight. that Of the factions of
Wisconsin, still unsettled. That quar-
rel is regarded as the most serious in
the party and the outcome is anxiousIy
awaited by Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike
The Wisconsin matter was made
special order of business for tomorrow
morning and the time allowed for the
presentation of the case of each con-
testing faction will be extended The
La Toilette men arrived today in force.
The supporters of Senators Spooner
and Quarles were equally well repre-
sented. 1t is doubtful if there will be
any compromise in the settling of the
delegate contest, each side being con-
fdent of success.
Addicks Gets In
In the Delaware contest, the commit
tee decided unanimously to seat the
delegation which is headed by j. e.
Addicks. 1t was decided also to seat
the colored delegates at large from
Louisiana, who are opposed to the Lily
White" Republicans of that state. The
Delaware contest was between the
Union or Addicks Republicans and the
regular Republicans, and was a con-
tinuation of fight which has been
going on in Delaware for several years.
Some feeling was caused among the
opponents of Mr.. Addicks, who assert
ed they had not had sufficient notice
that the contest was to be taken up
and that several of the delegates who
wished to argue their side could not
be present. Col. Benjamin Nields, of
Delaware, presented the side of the
regular Republicans. He asserted that
the Union Republican organization is
a separate and distinct party from the
regular Republican party, and that it
was called into existence for the single
purpose of electing Mr. Addicks to the
United States senate. Mr.. Addicks
spoke for his side.
Let the Philippines In
The committee decided to give the
Philippine islands representation in
the, convention. Two delegates with
the right to vote will be seated, thus
putting the Philippines on a par with
Porto Rico, which win have two voting
representatives. j. Sloat Fassett and
A. E. Valois, of the Thirty third New
York district, were seated.
Henry G. Payne, who became i'll yes

recently evolved a method of care of
tobacco which enables the farmers of
Connecticut, who have heretofore only
been producing cheap article. to pro-
duce a wrapper tobacco equal to the
best Sumatra tobacco. They are now
obtaining from s1400 to $4,000 per acre
for tobacco of this description.
BY agreement between the Board of
Agriculture and the Federal Expert
ment Station, a piece of land in Hama
kua, donated for the purpose by the
Louisson brothers, is being used for
conducting an experiment on the lines
laid down by the national agricultural
department. The Territorial appropria-
ton is being used to pay for the build
ings, material and labor on this expert
ment, and the Federal station is sup
plying the expert superintendent in
connection Herewith. So far the Ter
ritorial expense in this connection has
been $3.50. The tobacco for the first
crop is now two or three months old,
and will be harvested next July or
August, and a ration crop taken off
next winter, if the experiment is car
ried on. So far everything is progress
ing most favorably with the expert
ment. Heavy tobacco concerns in the
States are keeping a close watch on
this Hamakua experiment, and one
company has stated that if it is sue
cessful it is prepared to Immediately in
vest s250,000 and upwards in establish
ing tobacco plantations in Hawaii.
There is no other money available to
carry on the experiment in question,
except the appropriation made by the
Territory for the use of the local Fed
eral station.

So far from there being any friction

THE BLUEFIELDS BANANAS.
1t has been suggested that the station
bluffed the Board into letting in some
BluefeIds bananas. The true story of
the Bluefields banana importation is as
follows:
Board last summer number of persons
requested the Board to secure Bluefelds
bananas, this kind being the most val
liable for export purposes. Jared Smith,
Director of the Federal Experiment
Station, also stated that similar appli-
cations had been made to him. Nu-
merous attempts have been made from
Hawaii to secure BIuefields banana
plants, but with one exception they
have been unsuccessful as great efforts
are made to prevent the expectation of
plants from the localities where they
grow. Mr. Jared Smith finally propos.
ed that if the Board would pay for the
plants and the freight thereon he would
endeavor to get the Federal agricul-
tural department to secure them. This
offer was accepted by the Board.
Upon Mr.. Smiths representation to
the department at Washington the au-
thorities there detailed a man especial
1y to get these plants. He went to
through the generosity of a personal
friend of his secured a donation to the
Federal government, which in turn pre-
scented them to the Territorial govern |
ment, of 500 plants. He arranged for |
the shipment of them to New Orleans
where they were taken charge of by /
the u. S. Quartermaster' Department, |
and the Quartermaster's Department |
also attended to all the details of ship |
ping them through to Honolulu. All
the expense incurred by the Territorial |
Board in the matter was to pay the /
actual cost of the freight on the plants.
The plants upon arrival in Honolulu
We're disinfected by being washed and T
scrubbed in disinfecting liquid and by
being fumigated with gas. At the re-
quest of the Board the Federal Expert /
ment Station undertook, at it's own ex-
pense, to propagate and care for the
plants, which it is now doing. The inn
portation has been a perfect success,
and over one hundred of the plants
are now growing thriftily. Within the
next eighteen months there will be an
ample supply of young plants to estab-

fish the Bluefields banana industry in
Hawaii which will give banana growers
of this Territory the command of a far
wider market than they now have, as
this variety of banana is less liable to
decay than any other and can be ship
ped to much greater distances.
THE TOBACCO EXPERIMENT.
AS to what the Federal Experiment
Station is doing with the money appro-
priated by the Territory, I would say
that an experiment in tobacco culture
of the utmost Importance to Hawaii is
now being carried on by it. The Agri-
cultural Department at Washington has

NARROW ESCAPE
OF Brother and Sister Who Were
Accompanying Corpse.

While a daughter and son of Mr.,
Geo. L. Owen were enroute to Ora
cey Sunday morning, accompany
ing the remains of their brother,
their horse ran off and they had a
a very narrow escape. They were
driving along on East Seventh
street, near Highland Chapel,
when the animal became frightened
at some object. Young Owen at
tempted to stop the horse, but the
lines broke and he was thrown out.
His hip, shoulder and left hand
we're injured, but he will recover.
The animal proceeded up the road
at break.neck speed, when he was
met by Luther Daudridge, COL,
who hit the animal on the head with
a rock, knocking him down. Miss
Mary Owen, at this juncture,
jumped from the vehicle and es-
capped injury. The horse, after re-
covering from the blow, ran some
distance before he was caught.
The buggy was demolished and
the animal was badly cut on the
legs and breast.
