STILL IDLE

The wet weather still prevents the
plantations grinding. No plantation
on Oahu except probably WaimanalO
is grinding to it's full capacity. Waia-
lua, Waianae and Oahu are not at
tempting to grind and the others are
turning out only a small proportion
of their capacity.
The wet ground is the reason for
so little sugar being turned out. Cane
can not be gotten to the mills when
the ground is so soft and the result
is that the laborers have to perform
other work. The present wet season
has kept the plantations back nearly
a month. Little was done in grinding
on Oahu during February The re-
suit will be that the sugar season on
this island may be longer than had
been anticipated.
There are still a number of big ships
in port waiting for sugar cargoes. The
5. S. Texan will soon be here from
Seattle after a big cargo of sugar, and
her presence will delay the sailing ships
still further as the steamers are given
precedence over the sailing craft.
The ship John Ena has finished
loading now and has 4,671 tons of SUI
gar aboard. She will sail for Della
ware Breakwater probably tomorrow.
She was to have gone this afternoon
but the weather was not good for her
departure, so she did not leave.
The bark Star of Bengal sailed Tues
day from Maxwell for Delaware
Breakwater with over 10000 bags of
sugar aboard and the shin HaDr,, VII
lard sailed yesterday from Eleele with
39,SlS bags of sugar for San Francisco
She will return to Eleele after dis
| charging at San Francisco and load

A WOMAN AS
A GRAND JUROR

A new ground of challenge of the
panel of Grani Jurors by whom the
voucher indictments were brought has
been brought forward by c. w. Ash
ford attorney for the defendants. II
is that w II. Rabbit, one Of the
Grand Jurors took the place of one
Winifred II. Rabbit, woman, whose
name appears on the list of jurors
drawn by the jury commissioners.
Professor Rabbits name is Winfred
II. Babbitt while the name appearing
on the list of jurors for 1904, as filed in
court by the jury, commissioner is
"Winifred H. Babbitt." This is the
name of a woman, and Ashford says
there is a woman of that name living
in Honolulu. Rabbit kindly consented
to take her place as a Grand juror, says
the attorney, but that does not make
him legally a Grand juror. Rabbits
name appears in the directory as
"Winifred," but his real name is Win
fred.
The voucher cases came up before
Judge Robinson this mornin0. Ku-
malae Meheula and Johnson were pre-
sent, but pleas were not entered. De-
putty Attorney General Peters was en-
gagged with the Grand jury and the
casese were postponed to Monday by
consent. In the meantime Ashford
will add his Babbitt proposition to the
challenges of the jury panel already
filed, and the cases will be argued on
Monday.

HARD To GET
OUT OF HARBOR

Southeasterly weather is again pre-
vailing today. The small island schoon-
ers had considerable difficulty in beat
ing out. of the harbor. The schooner
Mokihana started about o'clock TO try
and get out to go to Koolau ports. She
had to beat across the channel many
times before she finally cleared. The
schooner Lady had similar trouble al
though the native captain was able to
get out with less trouble than the Jap
anese on the other boat.
Owing to the southerly weather the
tug Fearless went out and towed the
dredger into the harbor as it was de-
cided not to continue dredging opera
tions with the prevailing weather.
The schooner IA Moi arrived this
morning from KOhalalele with 1864 bags
of sugar. She reports good weather
along the Hamakua coast.
The steamer Maui arrived this morn
ing from Hamakua ports with a load
of sugar.
The barkentine S. G. Wilder out "a
days from San Francisco, was reported
this morning by Diamond Hear Charlie.
The schooner Chas. Levi Woodbury.
was towed to sea this morning TO sail
on her regular run to Hilo and Puuko.

it claimed, leaves Berger in the same
undisputed control as he was before.
The matter was taken by Ellis to the
attorney generals department and to
Secretary Atkinson, but the joint re-
solution appears to be of no value, and
his appeal from Berger has been de-
MED. The band boys who have been
relying on the resolution find it a
broken reed.
incidentally attention has been call
ed also to the last section clause of the
joint resolution, which it is said means
no more than the others. 1t reads as
follows:
BE it further resolved, that when
ever the band plays at inter-island
steamers, it shall not play more than
an hour, subject, however to the dis
erection of the bandmaster.''

ing in some cases and Newton has
taken it up again this week and is
going through the regiment again.
IAN our correspondence shows the
idea Of the federal government to be
to stimulate as much as possible the
militia system" said Col. Jones. In
all the states and territories federal
army officers are carrying on inspec-
tions. In addition to the regular
militia the government is encouraging
the formation Of rifle clubs. The evil
dent idea is to have a reserve which
may be called upon if needed. The
fact that Lieutenant Newton has work.
ed here with our men till as late as
1880 i'm the morning shows to some eX-
tent what we are doing, and how i'm
portant the work is deemed by the war
department.
within the past six months the
department has sent us between seven
teen and eighteen thousand dollars
worth of material of various kinds.
The war department is doing all it
can to increase the proficiency of the
militia throughout the country, so that
the population may be able to defend
the country's interests. AS a part of
the same idea, the fostering of rifle as
sociations is designed to encourage
citizens in becoming familiar with the
use of arms, so that as many as pos
sible may be ready in case of emer-
gency, without a large standing army
being maintained. 1t is the duty OF
every American community to take up
its share of this work"
General Macarthur has sent notice
that there will be an inspection of the
Hawaiian National guard by a regular
army officer to be hereafter designat-
ed, at Honolulu on or about March 10
Hilo on or about March II and Waikiki
on or about March 20.

One of the Triumphs of Modern Sur
gery.-By applying an antiseptic dress
ing to wounds, bruises, burns and like
injuries before Inflammation sets in,
they may be healed without maturation
and in one-third the time required by
the old treatment. This is one of the
greatest discoveries and triumphs Of
modern surgery. Chamberlain's Pain
Balm acts on this same principle. 1t
is an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you time
and money, not to mention the incon-
venience and suffering such injuries
entail. For sale by all dealers, Ben
