tiOns to be exchanged between the

Shaw was at the sub-treasury to-day,
where he received a number of callers,
including +. II. Hartman, !. n. Selig-
man. James Stillman and Valentine p.
Snyder. Respecting the Panama canal
payment the Secretary said that no
call will be issued to the depository
banks for payment of the $50, 600 in
Volved until the Attorney General has
passed upon the validity of the Panama
Canal Company's title.

Paris?" was asked.
1t may be, Shaw answered. THE
call on the depository banks" he con-
tinued. will be made in time to have
the funds in hand a week or more be-
fore the transfer has to be effected. If L
thought that we had to pay the money
over to Panama in ten days l would
send out the call by wire Immediately.
The bankers are to-day fully prepared
for it and could finance the withdraw

NAVAL AFFAIRS
UNDER DEBATE
Fight Over the Pending Ap-
preparation Bill Still 0c-
cupies Attention of House
BURTON MEETS DEFEAT
Amendment Offered by Him
to Strike Out One Battleship
From Measure Is Lost

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The build
ing programme of the navy, as con-
tained in the pending naval appropria
tion bill, occupied the attention of the
House throughout the day and the
fight is by no means over. The min
ority members of the Naval Affairs
Committee, who, under the leadership
of Meyer of Louisiana. first gave their
Endorsement to the measure are cam
paigning for a reduction in the number
of ships to be authorized The amend
ment to strike out the one battleship
made yesterday by Burton of Ohio was
defeated.
The cruisers were then put to the
test, and enough friends for them were
found for their retention. Construc-
ton of the ships in Government yards
proved to be a fruitful topic for discus
sion, and an amendment by Bell of
California requiring one collier to be
built in Government yard was
adopted.
Appropriation for a preferential of
four per cent in favor of bids from the
Pacific Coast was defeated.
McDermott of New Jersey enter
tanned the House with a five-minute
speech, proposing that all the ships
provided for in the bill be built in the
State of New Jersey. New Jersey, he
u.
States, and therefore more entitled to
consideration than California.
There is another reason why these
ships should be built in New Jersey,
he added 1T is a reason that appeals
to economy and perhaps to charity.
The receiver of the great shipbuilding
trust is now resident of New Jersey
and its principal yard is there. What
are you going to do when you find prop
erty owned by men who thirteen
months ago were known as princes of
finance to-day lying prostrate boys
jumping over the machinery; the wood
going to rot and the iron going to rust
in the great Nixon ship yards in New
Jersey. May l not, then, with a voice
more pregnant than that which. comes
from California, appeal to you all,
Democrats and Republicans, to come to
the rescue of that trust and have your
ships built there?"
Humphreys amendment was defeat
ed-76 to 9S
An amendment was offered by Rob-
erts of Massachusetts, increasing the
number of torpedo-boats authorized
from two to five, but it was not acted
upon.
An amendment by Rixey of Virginia
limiting to a maximum price of 1898
a ton the amount to be paid for armor
plate and should armor not be obtain
able at this price that a Government
armor plate factory be erected was
ruled out of order.

CONGRESSMAN DICK, MEN
TONED FOR RCHAIRMAN OF
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE
Prominent Republicans
in Fight for Chair
manship.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
Scott of West Virginia had long con-
ference with the President to-day, dis
cussing fully with him matters relating
to national politics. Several men have
been mentioned in connection with the
craftsmanship Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, but thus far the sub
ject has not proceeded beyond the
realm Of suggestion.
Among the names of the men pro-
posed for the craftsmanship are for
mer Governor Crane of Massachusetts.
Postmaster General Henry c. Payne of
Wisconsin, now acting chairman Of the
committee; Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania, Senator Scott of West Vir-
ginia and General Charles Dick of Ohio.
Crane is a personal friend of Pres
ident Roosevelt and one of his closest
political advisers. The President de-
sires in the event of his nomination
for the Presidency that Crane should
be identified in an important capacity
with the conduct of the Presidential
campaign, but it is known that Crane
hesitates to undertake the responsible
ity Of directing the campaign as chair
man on account Of his health
Members of the National Committee
have suggested that Postmaster Cen
Il ndIlOnal
chairman. The suggestion was cor
daily received by the President, as he
entertains the highest regard for
Payne'S political sagacity and ability.
1t is said, however, to be quite improb-
able that Payne will resign the Post
master Generalship to undertake the
work of directing the national cam
paign, for the reason that his health
will not permit him to undertake safe
ly the arduous labors of national chair
man.
Friends of General Dick have advo-
Gated warmly the desira bility of his
selection as national chairman. He was
in close official touch with the man
agement of the last two national cam
paigns and was one of the most trust
ed lieutenants of Senator Hanna. and
besides having a wide acquaintance
throughout the country is regarded as
notable campaign organizer 1t can
be said that no determination of the
Republican national craftsmanship will
be reached, perhaps. for three months.
Suggestions are being considered. but
no decision, even of a tentative nature.
has been or will be made until the
near approach of the Chicago conven-
tion.

30 FEARS NO OBSTACLES.
President Of Canal Company Expects
Early Transfer of Concession.

PARIS, Feb. .25.-ConVersations which
have occurred between NJ. Bo. president
Of the Panama Canal Company, and
ambassador Porter show that in the
opinion of the former no obstacle will
be placed by the company in the way
of the transfer of the concession to the
United States.
At the Colombian legation the hope
is expressed that the United States
viii delay the purchase of the con-
cessiOn until the French courts pass
upon the two applications submitted
TO them-first, an order prohibiting
the company from concluding the sale;
second, an order that the company
recognize the right of Colombia to her
share, which the company holds passed
with the sovereignty to Panama. The
courts have fixed March for the argu
nlents.
1t was admitted at the Colombian
legation that there is every likelihood
of the courts refusing to grant the
writ enjoining the company from sell
ing the concession, but every effort
will be made to retain the ownership
of the Colombian shares, in order that
Colombia may profit in the distribution
Of the money paid for the concessions.

AGRICULTURAL BILL PASSES.
Senate Adopts Amendments of Benefit
to the Pacific Coast,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The Senate
to-day passed the agricultural and the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bills. An amendment to the
agricultural bill suggested by Hepburn
of Idaho caused an animated discus
sion. 1t contemplated supervision of in
terstate commerce so as to prevent the
transfer of plants or seeds fraudulently
marked from one State to another The
amendment started a debate on patriot
ism. 1t was ruled out on a point of or
der.
An amendment offered by Hepburn
authorizing the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to prohibit interstate shipments of
misnamed and misrepresented fruit
trees provoked a long discussion. 1t
was supported by Hepburn and Clark Of
Wyoming, and opposed by Tillman
Lodge, Teller, Proctor and Bailey.
In the agricultural appropriation bill
passed by the Senate two amendments
are approved having special reference
to the conduct of experiment stations.
The bill as it came from the House con-
tanned the following language: THE
Secretary of Agriculture is hereby au-
thorized and directed to coordinate the
work of the several stations and the
work of the stations with the Depart
ment of Agriculture, to the end of pre-
venting unnecessary duplication of
work, of increasing the efficiency of the
stations and the Department of Agri-
culture and to unity and systematic
agricultural Investigations in the
United States"
Upon motion of Senator Bard this
language was stricken out. The objec-
ton was that under it the Government
would exercise too great control over
State stations.
Senator Perkins also amended the bill,
broadening its scope with regard to
fighting diseases of the vine. The ap-
preparation was increased from $4,000 to
$12, 900 for this purpose. The language
of the bill was changed so as to read
that this money shall be used toward
determining the adaptability of vari-
Gus grape stocks to the different soil
and climate conditions of the Pacific
Coast and their resistance to disease"

Is FXneCted,

HONOLULU Feb. 19.-Following
close upon the heels of a kona, or storm
from the southwark, that has hung
over the islands for ten days, another
kona is promised by the local weather
sharp. Within week more than twen-
ty inches of rain has fallen and there
is not dry spot in sight yet. The

ing down from the coast and took more
than seven days to make the trip. All
the island steamers report very bad

were unable to land passengers or
freight. Several sailers have been hur-
ried along from Newcastle, and they
all report the worst of weather. The

Colonel John Mcclellan Advises With
Governor Carter on Question OF Ha-

HONOLULU, Feb. 25.-Colonel john
Mcclellan, commander of the United
States military division of Honolulu
is discussing with Governor Carter the
advisability of placing a battery OF
the largest guns on the Punchoowl
crater, close behind the city of Homo
lulu. It is reported that consideration
of tbis nIan NAV be recommended, in
stead of the recent suggestions OF the
army board for general line of shore

and more effective than long-rahse ue-
fenses along the ocean.
There is a scarcity of japanese rice
in Honolulu and the dealers will be
Obliged to make importations from the
United States.
The price of saki, the popular Jap
anese drink, is rising on account of
scant supply. 1t is said that Califor-
MIA wine may be substituted for saki.

Twenty Foreigners Admit They Want
to Become Americans in Order
to Hold Positions

HONOLULU, Feb. 19.-Judge Dole
has refused to naturalize about twenty
Portuguese that desired to become
American citizens. Most of them were
residents Of twenty years standing
and the immediate cause of their wish
to embrace the rights and privileges
accorded by the constitution of the
United States was desire to retain
their jobs in the road department. A

PEELED Road Supervisor Johnson to dis
charge all men who were not Ameri-

Hawaiians. When questioned by Judge
Dole the Portuguese frankly admitted
that they only wanted citizenship in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Secretary
Taft to-day gave a hearing at the War
Department to a number of persons
interested in pending legislation rel
ative to the limitation of Philippine
commerce to American bottoms. The
arguments touched every phase of the
situation, with which Secretary Taft
appeared to be very familiar. The
only novel proposition to-day was one
that seemed to emanate from Secre-

bill, excluding foreign bottoms from
the Philippine trade with the tariff
reductions scheme proposed by the

Claims the Governments Attorney
Casts Imputation on the Jury.

WASHINGTON. Feb. Especial
Counsel Conrad for the Government
in the postal trial concluded his argu-
ment for the prosecution to-day. He
dwelt at length upon the question of
what resembles a reasonable doubt
and instanced cases where a single
juror had hung jury through a mis-
conception of the meaning of a rea-
sonable doubt. He was interrupted by
Attorney Kumler. who charged that
the statements were an imputation
upon the jury in this case. A sharp
colloquY between Conrad and Kumler
followed.
Conrad attacked the statements
made on the stand by Mr.. Lawrence
regarding his first examination of the
Croft fastener in 1895 and said that
they were not borne out by the cir
cumstances surrounding it.
Justice Pritchard announced that he
would deliver his charge to the jury
