FAIRBANKS SURE WINNER.
New YOrk's Action Regarded as Hnsar-
ing His Nomination.

Chicago. June 20.-The nomination of
Senator Charles w. Fairbanks for
Vice-President was regarded as set
tied tonight when New York decided
60 cast her seventy-eight votes for
him. While 1t has seemed a foregone
cosclusion for some time that the In
diana Senator would be Mr.. Roose-
velt's mate. there have been efforts to
bring out other candidates and start 4
stampede of delegates for some other
man. These attempts have failed
almost in their inception and 1t early
became apparent that Fairbanks was
the choice of most of the delegates
New Yorks action was more formal
than that of other States and praeti
cally settled all doubt, even among
those who were opposed to the Indiana
man.
Considerable criticism has been
directed at Senator Fairbanks because
of his failure TO definitely declare his
position. All that ii has been posi-
BILE to obtain from him was a statement
that he did not consider the honor one
which q man should seek or decline
and that If the party wanted him and
needed him, he would accept. although
he was not a candidate and would not
allow the Indiana delegation to express
itself in favor of his nomination. This
attitude seemed to irritate some of the
leaders who saw no reason why the
Senator should not come square out
with a formal statement.

TEXAS Is FOR PARKER
FEW HEARST MEN IN SAN ANTo-
MO CONVENTION.


San Antonio. Tex. June 2o.-The
representatives of Texas Democracy
are here in large numbers to attend
the State convention which will con-
vene tomorrow to select delegation
to the national convention. The Parker
sentiment is overwhelming and in
structions for him Is considered a
foregone conclusion. The comparative
ly few Hearst supporters here give no
indication of making a fight for an
uninstructed delegation. Whether the
committee shall make a declaration OF
national political issues is an open
question of which each side has in
f1uential support.
Owing to the large number of can
didates for delegates at large, it has
been practically decided to send eight
delegates at large and eight alternates
instead of four.
1t is also certain that Senators c. A.
Culberson and ]. w. Bailey will be
among the number
r. G. Duff, of Beaumont, will be
temporary chairman and Clarence
Ousley, of The Fort Worth Record, is
slated for permanent chairman.

Letter n Untrue.
Baltimore. June 20.--In view of the
contradictory statements that have
been published as to the attitude of
Cardinal Gibbons and the American
.archbishops in the matter of Pope Pr
us's recent letter on the subject of
church music, restoring the Gregorian
chant, the cardinal today made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
The cardinal in ale name of all the
archbishops of the country and in s.
own name, Immediately after their an
nual meeting in Washington last April,
wrote to the Holy Father promising %
carry out as far as practicable the
judieious and practical letter of the
Pope on the subject of sacred music.
To-day the cardinal received re-
ply from the Holy Father. In which
His Holiness warmly commends and
appreciates the letter of his enninence
and the archbishops.
THE cardinal takes this occasion to
say that the alleged interview and the
observations ascribed to him touching
the Holy Fathers letter are devoid Of
foundation"

that the vessels attacked by the Viad-

JURORS
WILL HAVE LUAU
MEMBERS OF GRAND INQUEST
FITTING STYLE

The Territorial Grand Jury is so
pleased with itself and the work that
it has done, that it is going to give it
self a luau. dinner or some similar en-
tertainment. The function will par
take of the nature of a forgathering
of mutual admiration society for
each grand juror is to pungle up for
his own food and each is to make a
speech. At a session of the august
body held few days ago it was de-
cided to invite the members of the
Attorney Generals staff and the At
torney General also of course but this
morning a string was put on the invi-
tatiOn. The Attorney General and his
able, efficient and urbane assistants
will be permitted to be present, but
they will have to pay for their share
of the expense. There Will be a hot
rush for seats from the Territorial law
office
The exact nature of the coming en-
tertainment has not yet been decided
upon but what ever form it may take
it cannot fail to be a success. All of
the grand jurors will be flush when
they are paid off for they have held
any number Of meetings at SO much
per meeting and so will have money to
burn. 1t has been suggested that it
would be a delicate compliment on the
part of the grand jurors to invite the
attendance of all those against whom
they have found indictments but it
was pointed out that some of these
could not attend without seriously in
terferng with the management of
Oahu prison so the idea was abandon
ed.
1t is understood that Chairman Tuck
err is to preside and that Detective Hat
ter will return from the Coast i'm time
to take the Vice-chair.

There was little business of tmpor-
lance to transact. A report was made
on the number of plants sent to Guam
on the Solace and Prof CraW was au-
thorzed to sign for articles on the Gus
toms House books in place of Superin-
tendent Holloway. The following re-
port from Prof. Craw was submitted:
Il herewith make a brief statement
of work since my last report to you.
Sixteen steamers and sailing vessels
arrived i'm port from outside the Ter
rtory bringing seven thousand ana for
ty-one packages of fruits and Vegeto-
bles mostly from San Francisco. Sew
en- boxes and bales of trees and plants,
besides a few loose specimens were also
received and all carefully inspected
and fumigated. Two bundles of grape
vine roots were treated with hydr)cy-
anic acid gas before inspection which
was done by removing the scaly outer
bark so as to expose the pan Is II the
vne subject to the attack of tn grape
Phylloxera. No trace of the louSs could
be found. But as precautionary
measure, the vines were placed in one
of the small fumigating cases and
treated with the fumes of carbon bisul-
phide for a period of ninety minutes,
this is the most effective disnfectant
for PhylloXera.
"A resident Of Honolulu received six
ornamental plants from t"a.' two of
which were found infested with two
species of scale insects a Poliasp.s dId
Chonaspis and were destroyed AMI the
other lants were fumigatel.

budded rose bushes we only found one
slightly infested with the soft brown

tire lot was thoroughly fumigated aad
