THE WAY HEARST
FIGURES IT
TABLE OF VOTES SUPPOSED TO
BE CONTROLLED IN THE DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION.

The last file of the Coast papers con-
tains an interesting table showing the
situation in the Democratic field up
to June l6. At that time, all but nine
states and territories had held their
conventions and taken action regarding
the presidential nomination.
Since that time Texas and Minnesota
have held their convention. The for
mer state endorsing Judge Parker for
the nomination with its SO votes in the
convention while Minnesota went for
Hearst with % votes.
The table is from the San Francisco
Examiner and can be taken as indica-
tive of the limit of claims of the Hearst
forces. There are many who will, no
doubt, combat these claims and assert
that Hearst viii be unable to control
so MANY votes.
According to the table 255 votes are
for Hearst; 249 for Parker; 40 for Cor
man; 20 for Olney; 20 for Wall; for
Gray; 29O votes non-committal.

RESERVE FOR
NORTH KONA
HOSMER SUBMITS A
THE Boil WEEVIL'S ENEMY.

At yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Agriculture and Forestry the report
of Forester Hosmer on the land of Ho-
nuaua, North Kona, Hawaii was sub
mitted and discussed at length. After
e minute description of the tract of
Land with Celails as to its forest growth
it was recommended that the land of
HNnuaula between approximately the
contour line of 5000 and 5000 fee should
be withdrawn from lease and set apart
as the first portion of the North Kona
forest reserve. 1t was further sug-
gested that if it be found inadvisable to
use the upper portion of the land for
grazing and the lower portion for
homestead purposes, these also should
be included in the reserve.
The report was adopted with the fol-
lowing emendation
LAS to this land laid out for home
steads, the board is of the opinion and
would suggest that as this is principally
a whole forest tract, the same should
only be opened for settlement when the
conditions, including suitable road to
and through the tract, promise bona
fide settlement and development"
A discussion ensued on the proposal
to import an ant from Guatemala to
prey on the cotton DO! weevil. 1t has
been introduced into Texas where its
work is being watched with interest.
The bureau has written to Washington
for specimens so that experiments may
be made with them in the insectory.
1t is thought that the ant may possibly
be an enemy of the leaf hopper also.
Professor Hosmer was granted per-
mission to visit Hilo in July for the
purpose of investigating the forestation
of the district and holding meetings
with citizens concerning the matter.

Where Dragons Stay
The Advance Of War
Jealously They Guard the Tombs of the
Korean and Chinese Dead Which
Japan Has Promised to Respect

In the Official correspondence be-
tween Japan, Russia, Korea and China
since the opening Of the Far Eastern
war, the quaintest passages have been
those relating TO the ancestral tombs
Of the Mings, Manchus and Koreans.
Japan has promised to protect these
treasures at Mukden, Seoul, Ping
Yang and north Of Picking, while Rus
STA fakes no such declaration, but
threatens Mukden and Picking if her
people or railway property be inter
fered with.
One Of the first moves Of Japan was
to dispatch reserves to guard the
tombs at Toxic, Nikko, Kyoto and 9TH
er important points. Though Occi-
dental in many ways, Japan's heart
can be touched deeply by Dissertation
of these sacred mausolea- At Toxic
are the tombs of the Tokugawa Sho-
guns Kyoto is famous for its shrines.
Here is the burial place of the Shinran
Shonin. A queer structure called the
spectacle bridge. like pair of eye
glasses, holds high place in the trav-
eler's memory. The souls of the de
parted are said to pass over it and see
every act Of mortals. Near by is the
Taikodo shrine and its court for re-
ceiying the ashes Of devotees, and Ka-
diff, sacred to the Zen sect, with its
gold screens by Motonobu. Kanokoi
and Tohaku- The thirty-six ancient
poets by Mitsunobu ornament the
walls.
The writer had the good fortune to
visit the shrines at Nikko after the
law was changed allowing only rulers
to inspect the little cardinal bridge, "

through the tomb-lands Of the en-
pire. All the great powers were more
OF less involved. and there is no doubt
to-day it was these plans to disturb
the souls Of the dead that brought on
the Boxer rising.
The tombs have figured in every war
vaged in Chinese territory. Ancestral
worship, the real religion, is express
