THE VALUE OF HAWAII.

The Delegate from Arizona has in
formed Congress that Hawaii is of
slight economic value to the United
States in that it does not return what
it cost, having no mines or public
lands to dispose Of.
A glance at the reports of the Treas
ury Department would have informed
the cactus statesman that the Customs
receipts at the port of Honolulu for the
year ending June 80, 1903, We're 81, 1885,
677.ss, making Honolulu the eleventh
port of fiscal Importance in the United
States.
The internal revenue receipts of the
Territory of Hawaii, for the same
period We're s4O,Oeo.52
The sales of postage stamps in the
Territory were about $64, 1000.
The net receipts of the United States
Government from Hawaii for the last
fiscal year We're $780,, 1885.
So much for the gain TO the Treasury
from Hawaii This Territory cost the
Federal Government 100000 at the
time it was annexed and s., 000, coo in
the settlement of fire. claims. The full
sum has already been paid back to the
United States since annexation and
will be paid over and over again every
four years less a few months.
As for the Arizona mines their yield
is overmatched by that of the Hawai-
ian cane fields which produced in the
last year, value of $25, 310,6S4.

81. 602, in Nebraska 5000 and in Colorado

citizens of both and all parties, which
I invariably control in presidential cam
paigns, because, without seeking to do
otherwise than right, he has pleased the
pressed with the reviving political mo-
raI;ty of the Twentieth Century. He
will be largely supported by that nu-
merous and thoughtful class of Dem
ocrats, who parted from their organi-
cation in 1896 and more completely in
1900. These are citizens who believe
that principle should govern politics,
and who, though recognizing the need
of occasional ana temporary conces-
sions for the sake of harmony, could
not be induced to follow spurious lead
ers or European platforms. It is well
understood that there is appoint where
party consistency becomes logical and
practical inconsistency, and that point
was. reached in the socialistic platforms
of the Democratic organization in 1896
and in 1900 and in the man placed in
nomination, Mr.. Bryan, who has just
completed his European tour and -ex-
perienced the equal hospitality of this
Administration towards all Americans
of respectable personal character, has
declared in substance that no man who
voted for Palmer in 1896 acan receive
the nomination this year. Whether
this special inhibition be observed or
disregarded, the Democracy will not
at this time be effectively consolidated.
There are too many discordant and
turbulent factions to be consulted, and
the time has not come for successful
reconstruction, kMr. Cleveland might
have been a strong candidate, but he
places his Americanism on too high a
plane to aspire to third term. There
is no available statesman to fill his
place.
Mr.. Roosevelt viii be elected and the
ordinary Republican majority. which
the prosperous times and his admins
trative capacity would have secured,
will be augmented by an unusually
large non-partisan vote.

THE COLOMBIAN FIAsCO.

In reference to the Panama canal, it
seems that Colombia is unable to speak
without committing a new blunder.
The latest diplomatic phase of the con-
troversy is conclusive on this point.
On December 23rd, 1903, General Reyes,
lately elected President OF Colombia,
under the inspiration of few Demo-
cratic maIcontents. who do not repre-
sent their own party, if they have one,
virtually charged the United States
with bad faith and attributed the de-
feat of Che first treaty by the Colon
bian Senate to the fact that Minister
Beaupre had declared that it must be
accepted without amendment.
The reply of Secretary Hay, who has
exhibited a great patience and tact, is
dated January 5th, 1904, and, though
couched in moderate language, is abb
solutely crushing Mr.. Hay went over
the whole case and resented the false
imputations against our government
But his argument, based on the treaty
of 1916 with New Granada, the prede-
cessor of Colombia, which succeeded
to its obligations, not only peiterates
the unanswerable points in President
Roosevelts annual message, but shows
that the object of that treaty, under
stood and expressed at the time, was
to provide for the permanent opening
of the Isthmus of Panama to the traf-
fic of the world, with the United States
as the guarantor. This great de-
sign as he terms it, and as he proves,
could only be fulfilled by this govern
nent and after referring to the man
ner of the rejection of the treaty.
which is now fully understood
by the American people, he impress
siyely states the fact that, having
completely gained it's independence,
without bloodshed, and established its
autonomy, the United States had to
choose between the new republic. which
respected the treaty Of 1916 and recog-
nized the necessity for the canal, and
Colombia. which had disregarded its
legal obligations to this country and its
moral obligations to civilization itself.
Upon the judgment and action of the
United States, Mr.. Hay adds 'the
powers of the world have set the seal
of their approval"

who have objected to the new treaty,
have set at defiance public opinion, not
only in the United States. but every
where else where public opinion ex-
lists. The simultaneous proposal to
annex Panama and to construct the
Nicaraguan canal can only be treated
as weak satire or a stupid joke. The
American people want one canal and
not two, and they are definitely COM
mftted, through and behind the admin
istration, to the completion of the work
on the Isthmus of Panama.

As yet the Dowie church has not
created a hymnology Of its own but it
has borrowed one from the other
churches. taking some of the best of
the spiritual songs of liturgical and
evangelical bodies. The hymn printed
in these columns yesterday is familiar
to the Christian world, having been
written by Bishop Heber in 1922. The
Water of Life" 80, for Thousand
Tongues to Sing and Luther's "Judg-
ment Hymn" are numbered among the
musical assets of Zion, though Dowie
often gave them out when, in his
younger days, he was a Congrega-
tional minister.

The Financier,s Statement

NEW YORK. April 2.-The Financier this week says: An expansion of nearly fifteen million dollars in loans and of more than twenty million dollars in deposits. accom- panied by a gain of over five million dollars in cash. were the principal features of the hank statement last week. Both loans and deposits make new high records and the cash in bank vaults also surpasses and total pre- viously recorded. This accumulation of funds was greatly in excess of the amount of in- crease as estimated from the traceable move ments of money during the week. indicating large unreported receipts The expansion of loans resulted partly from the placing of $50, 900. 900 of the Pennsylvania notes which was effected on Friday. The public deposits increased Sl5,6I97oo during the fort night, caused by the concentration of these funds in New York Repositories.

Virgin & Faunce Grain Letter.

lover Private Leased wire)
 CHICAGO, April 2.-In the grain markets to-day there was quite little uncertainty re- sulting in irregularity. The absence of cables was felt. since the export business was small The crop and weather information, however attracted considerable attention and there were conflicting conditions. The crop data was more favorable, but there was still enough uncertainty to render a definite opin- ion of the general condition of the winter wheat crop quite unreliable. The seeding of of spring wheat was said to be progressing The cash situation was without special fea- ture. The operations of clique interests were of the scalping sort and the leaders were credited with working both sides of the ac- count. The late market was rather irregular and on the close there was a mixed feeling but in view of the disposition of shorts to cover on the dips The longs in some in- stances felt encouraged, In the corn market the attention of the trade was directed to the position of the clique interests; the latter were believed to be heavily long of the May and July options. There further talk of probable bull manipulation On the better prices to-day there was an increase in the offerings The advices from the country were quite bullish. Oats sympathetic with other cereals: shorts were the best buyers and on the better levels there was some in- crease in offerings. The provision trade was quite professional. There was some selling on the more liberal hog movement present and prospective, but the dips packers were credited with giving support. The movement of product was moderate and the cash trade was without special feature

those who watched him expire could not believe that such a rash act was pos sible from the victim.
 The remains were enclosed in an elegant | casket and were kept on board the ship
 until this morning at 1o:30 o'clock, when,
 by orders of the captain of the ship. the casket was borne in a launch to the
 wharf and taken to the train which left
 a: 12:15 o'clock this afternoon. Acting
 as an honorary escort, bluejackets from
 the Maine came ashore with the remains and silently walked to the depot, fol-
 lowing ships band. There was never
 more impressive sight in this city. As might have been supposed, there
 was large gathering of citizens on the
 dock when the body, with its honorary escort, was landed, and the same scenes
 were enacted at the depot before the
 train took its departure. All the naval ships In the bay have hung their flags at half mast all day. and the colors have been so suspended ever since the suicide has been known.
 Merchant vessels displayed their cofors at half mast all day on the occasion of Good Friday yesterday. and the sight of the colors flying from the same position on the naval vessels vas perhaps never equalled.

Blueiackets Revengeful.

The clanntsn way in which the naval men stick to one another has caused some comment here, and the way they take care of a companion in distress has caused real admiration for them. Yes terday afternoon intense excitement was created on the streets by a flying and frightened negro, closely pursued by sev- eral bluejackets. The negro had been detected stealing black silk neckerchiefs from intoxicated and sleeping seSmen. and the discovery was made by comrades of the victims. Immediately the excite ment began, and up one street and down another the chase was followed. The sailors were bent upon doing the thiev- ing black great harm, and they would not have stopped at perhaps killing the negro had they laid hands on him. Sym pathy generally went out to the sailors. and in the excited crowd that quickly gathered there were many who wished that the black had been caught. This is the second chase of this nature that has taken place in Pensacola in two days, the victims being thieving negro boys.

Pensacola, April 2.-(Special)-T act of Lieutenant-C Comma nder Edgar T. War horton of the Maine yesterday in send ing a bullet through his brain and thus ending mysteriously the life of joviai naval officer has been regretted very much in this city, where he had formed many pleasant acquaintances. The infor- nation was great shock, and the expla- nation as to what led up to the act has not been forthcoming.
 Persons from the ship when questioned regarding the probable cause, are at a loss as to a reply. The officer was in good health, was known to have a good home in Philadelphia and would have retired from the navy inside Of three
 months He had been known to refer to bis retirement, and seemed to look for ward with no little pleasure to the time when he would be relieved from active and sea duties. He was nearly 40 years .of age and had a wife in Philadelphia, to whom the remains were dispatched to- day ' The greatest of secrecy was maintained regarding the matter and while the act was committed in the forenoon, 1t was kept such secret that it was not until late in the afternoon that the real facts came out.
 : The deceased, 1t was explained, was alone in his ro@m on the ship. It was about o'clock, an officer said today, when two commissioned officers, the names of whom are not at hand, were passing Warborton's room. pistol shot was heard, and the two officers, after breaking open the door, found their su- perior officer lying on the floor, the blood streaming from wound in the left tenn pie, travelling over to and emerging at fhc right. The officer was about dead vixen the officers reached him. but ev- erything was done to relieve the suffer fngs and retain life. The bullet. how ever, had found a vital place. and death was seen to be the matter of but a few moments.
 The wounded man fingered for about half an hour, and then death came. Even

Sailors Were Boisterous.

Leniency on the part of police toward the naval sailors now here does not seem to have the effect desired. The sailors who were on liberty last night were of a very disorderly class. and the fights had were numerous. Plate glass went before the fighting seamen, and some damage was done to other property. So long as they fight among themselves, there is no interference with the police, but when a citizen is attacked. a tale oi a different nature is told. Arrests fol- low very soon. Last evening, however. fights were more numerous than usual, and all sorts of disputes were settled.
 At bar last eveping three fights took place inside of ten minutes. and during one of the scrimmages large plate glass window was smashed. Everybody but the sailors left some of the bars dur ing the evening
