Two occupations more widely different

the macaroni might be used to feed the
men employed at the mines, although
unless they are all Italians-they might
object to such diet. The iron ore, how
ever, could not be utilized in making
the macaroni; at least we have never
heard of its employment in that manu-
facture. The company seems to be in
earnest, for the correspondent informs
us that 1t has begun to build a macaroni
plant and has secured options on 1000
acres of land within the limits of the

PRINCE cup1D,s NEW NAME.
President Calls Delegate from Ha-
wall '.Mr. Kuhio"-His Weak
ness for Red Cravats.

One Of the most interesting figures in
congress is the delegate from Hawaii,
Prince Cupid. His real name is Prince
Jonah Kuhio Kalaniaaole.
He acquired the title Cupid" while
at school in San Francisco, and now he
is to be oficially called out of his name
because the president cannot pronounce
his appellation. He is to be known in
official circles as Minister Kuhio.
Mr.. Kuhio, then, is accompanied
everywhere he goes by secretary. He
has also a personal secretary" and sew
eral other personages in his suite.
He dresses veil, wears his straight
black hair Ia pompadour, and his fierce
black mustache is forever waxed bril-
liantly. He is about six feet tall and
has fine physique, erect and athletic.
Mr.. Kuhio is light brown in color and
would be taken anywhere for wealthy
Mexican. His fad is red neckties-real
flaming red of the most aggressive
shade.
William Haywood, who was the last
consul of the United States at Honolulu
and who now represents the Planters
association of Hawaii, recently called
on the president to arrange for the pres
, entation of the new delegate.
II shall not call him Prince Cupid
Mr.. Roosevelt declared. "and cannot
pronounce his last name. never would
be able to remember it, anyhow Cant
we cut it off somewhere and make II
simpler?"
Mr.. Haywood conferred with Prince
Cupid's advisers and after lengthy de.
bate Mister Kuhio" was evolved from
the troublesome cognomen. Mr.. Hay
wood returned to the white house with
the abbreviated title, which proved &C.
ceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt. Hereafter
all invitations to the delegate from Ha
wall will be addressed simply to "Mr
kuhio."

THE SHIP SUBSIDY SCHEME.
Programme Proposed by Boss Hanna
Will Increase Tariff Duties
Ten Per Cent.

That stupendous steal, the proposed
subsidy to the steamship trust, is to
be again forced on congress. We have
the assurance of Senator Hanna that,
the senate is all right" but he adj
vises Clement A. Griscom and other
seekers after a share of the subsidy
that in their campaign OF education they
begin on the house." This is rather
strange advice that Senator Hanna
gives for in the last congress the po-,
sition was reversed. The house then
passed the ship subsidy steal, the dem
Ocrats voting against it, and when the
bill went to the senate it was de-
feated, Senator Allison and a few
other republicans voting with the
democrats against it. Now, according
to Hanna, some or all of those repub-
lican senators have changed front, for
he says: 'The senate is all right" "
and good many of the republican
members of the house must have heard
from their constituents if they have
changed, as Hanna indicates they
have when he advises Griscom ct al.
to begin on the house."
What form the new ship subsidy bill
will take has not yet been disclosed,
for no such bill has yet been intro
duced in either house of congress ex-
cept the bill which Congressman Jones,
of Washington, has introduced impos-
ing discriminating duty of ten per
cent. additional on all goods imported
in foreign ships. AS less than seven
per cent of all commodities imported
are brought in foreign bottoms, this
would equal an additional tax of near
~ ten per cent. over and above the
present exorbitant tariff of the DingleJ
bill. That is tariff reform with 9
vengeance, and it is hardly possible
that enough republican representatives
of the people can be induced to vote
for it. If bill on those lines is tt
pass it will have to be amended tt
make the present duties ten per cent
less on goods imported in American
bottoms, which would make that mucl
discrimination in favor OF American
ships. But how would such an advan
tage help build up the American mer
chant marine unless the owners o
ships flying the American flag SHOULD
charge higher freight rates, so tina
the discriminating duty would go t
them? In that case the American con
