Now. here is the wisdom of Solo
unon," exclaimed Mr.. Cannon in good
humor adding other words that indi-
Gated his intention to keep expenses
down and his hope that the boys in
the House, after talking 1t over would
conclude 1t Is wiser to keep the total
of the river and harbor bill and the to-
tails of other bills, carrying appropria-
tions, down to the lowest possible fig
ure.
HARBOR LEGISLATION.
Chairman Burton, of the River and
Harbor Committee, was not at the
Capitol today, being laid up with a
cold. The friends OF the Improvement
at Honolulu have talked with him,
urging the necessity of an appropria-
ton, without waiting for an official
survey. He has rot yet indics ted
finally what he will be able to do for
Honolurl on the bill.
Delegate Kalanianaole said this aft

the legislative bill to reimburse the ter

| Hamilton of the House committee on
Territories to see what can be done in
the way Of direct legislation. The OBJ

TENNEY IN WASHINGTON.
Mr. e. w. Tenney, of the, firm Of
| Castle & Cook and president of the
/ Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association,
is here accompanied by Mrs Tenney

Hawaii was going to make lots Of mon
ey out of sugar during the next tvs
or three years. l am afraid that the
prices for sugar may, If possible, be
too good. By that / mean production
will be ztimulated to the extent that
there may come another period of de-
preston from overproduction, greater
.han he period OF depression we are
row emerging from"
Nevertheless Mr.. Tenney is feeling
very good over the prospects for bet
ter prices for sugar. The news he
gathered IL New York over The stu
alton was nothing but good. He talk
ed entertainingly at the Shoreham a.
bout conditions in Europe that have
helped the Hawaiian planters. 1.-The
atoliJio;. OF the bounties in Europe"
said he, encouraged consumption and
at the same time caused a falling off
in the production there. Then there has
been a big drouth in Europe that has
hurt the beet crop. The surplus prod
uct has been mostly disposed of and,
under all the circumstances, there
should be a demand for about 10000 900
more pounds than heretofore. That. Of
