Greatest of American Dioceses.

Honolulu, Feb 6.--Bishop Henry
Restarick of the Dioceses of Homo
lulu now has the distinction of be-
ing the head of the largest diocese
of the American Episcopal Church,
if not the largest diocese in the
world. The boundaries of his ter
ritory inclose an area half as large
as that of the entire mainland por-
ton of the United States. How
ever, it is but fair to state that
most of the area so included con-
sists only of the blue waters of the
Pacific.
AT the recent convention of the
Episcopal Church it was decided to
place every bit of the territory of
United States under the jurisdic-
ton of some one or other of the
bishops of the church. Guam and
American Samoa were the only two
portions of Am erican territory
not yet assigned, and the
former was given to the Bishop of
the Philippines, while Samoa fell
to the lot of Bishop Restarick.
The enlarged Diocese of Homo
lulu is interesting and entirely un-
ique. The islands included in its
jurisdiction may be roughly en-
closed by right angled triangle,
with the right angle somewhere
east of Maui and northeast of Ha-
waii, and the other angles at Mid
way island in the extreme west of
the Hawaiian group and Tutuila,
in Samoa. From Hawaii to Tutui-
la, Samoa, is nearly 2,300 miles,
from the most easterly point in the
diocese to Midway, nearly 1,400
miles. This vast religious jurisdic-
tion has the distinction of heing
the only American diocese lying on
both sides of the equator, and Bis
hop Restarick is one of the few pre-
lates to rule beneath both the Pole
Star and the Southern Cross.

where he died short time after
his arrival.
B. d. Baldwin, as well as some
of his family, has been unwell for
some time. In fact, few months
ago Mr.. Baldwin was critically i'll
and everything goes to show that
the Baldwins have been taking poi
sons into their systems for many
months, and it is said that these
poisons have heen given them by
two japanese employed at Maka-
well, namely Nomi Nizo, a cook
employed by Mr.. Baldwin, and
Yonemoto, man employed in the
mill.
Sheriff Coney went to Makaweli
last week and arrested Nomi Nizo
and Yonemoto and took them to
Waimea, where their case came up
in Judge Hofgaard's court last
Wednesday. The case was post
poned until February 18th, as a
japanese who is an important wit
ness in the case is now in Honolulu.
There are conflicting stories as to
the character of the poison used,
one saying that the cook at the
plantation house was seen putting
arsenic or something of that kind
into the drinking water used at the
house, while still another is to the
effect that the plantation chemist
found that Mr.. Baldwin had been
taking bichloride of mercury into
his system.

Ferretin9 Out The Poisoners.

Honolulu, Feb. 7.--Advices from
Kauai are to the effect that the
whole island is stirred up over the
B. d. Baldwin case, and it is even
said that Will Baldwin, who pre-
ceded B. d. Baldwin in the manage
ment of Makaweli, was victim of
slow poison. At all events, for a
long time before he left Makaweli,
VIII Baldwin was i'll, and did not
fully recover his health until he
left Kauai 1t is thought that the
plan of the poisoners was to ad-
minister minute doses, so as to
causes lingering death in such a
way that no suspicion would be
directed toward them. Hugh Nor
rison, manager of Makaweli just
previous to Will Baldwin, was tax
en- deathly sick and kept failing in
health until at last he, was obliged
to resign his situation and leave
for the Coast in search of health,

District of Columbia, shall have a
governor; just like the state and
territories, who, alone, shall be the
responsible head. The idea of
having him elected by popular
vote would not be tolerated for q
moment by the representative peo-
pie here. He will be appointed by
the President just as the governors
of territories are and confirmed by
the Senate. The idea has many
advocates and has been broached
so vigorously in certain quarters
that there is good show of its be-
ing adopted by the next Congress.
The time is too brief to permit of
such action this winter. For,
while the President has greatautho-
rity ia his little kingdom, all the
laws for it are made by Congress
and approved by him, just as the
Federal laws are made for all the
nation.
The President of the Board of
Commissioners comes nearer now
to what the governor is in other
states than any other officer, This
official is always Of the same poll
tics as the admins tration. But
while one commissioner is always
Republican and one a Democrat,
theoretically, and must as a mat
ter of fact be a bona fide resident
of the District, long residence here
has tended to eliminate partisan
ship among the leading people.
They take no very keen interest in
either party. Thus it happens that
the commissioners are often men
belonging distinctly to neither
party, or having little more than a
nominal identity with either poll
tical organization. On matters
of local government, however,
Washingtonians are exceedingly
alert. They fight like Kilkenny
cats and carry their fights right up
to Congress. In the matter of
having a governor, as proposed,
they are evincing very lively in
terest, and whenever Congress is
ready to take up the question, both
branches will be besieged by citi-
zens determined to be heard on
one or the other side.

Hawaiian Coffee In New Zealand.

Honolulu Feb. 4 Mr. Kerns,
coffee expert VINO has been in the
coffee business for twenty years at
London. Ceylon and New Zealand,
was caller on Governor Carter this
Afternoon. He spoke in high terms
of island coffee, stating that me
thought that the Hawaiian coffee
-dustry would soon be Of more value
to the Territory than sugar cultiva-
lion.
Kerns stated that he was convinced
that much of the coffee which he
bought at New Zealand as Java was
really Hawaiian. For tbi. he paid
,26 cents a pound while here it cost
only 10 cents. He was certain that
much of the Hawaiian low grade
coffee. which was at present not
thought good enough for export,
could by simply trea a,mrn', be- made
very palatable Even the lrcal pea
berries could be used to advantage.

theory was right Ker.s cav" the

aptly called, has been shaken re-
Gently by pror osition of serious
nature to change its form Of govern
ment. No political division of the
United States has been so various
ly governed during the last hun
dred years. Although its popula-
ton is about 300,OO0-considerably
larger than any one of several
States, notably Delaware, Wyom-
ing, Nevada and Idaho there are
but few people in the country at
large who can tell how local autho-
rity is exercised within it's limits.
1t used to have a territorial orga-
nization, with governor and q
legislature of two branches. At
one time, also, it had a municipal
form of government, with a mayor,
as the city of Washington COM
prises about all there is to the
District. But things kept going
from bad to worse and the negroes
became such an undesirable ele-
ment in the voting population that
in the early 70's the form of gov
ernment was again changed and
for thirty-five years the District
has been governed by a board OF
three commissioners, one Republi-
can, one a Democract, and one an
army officer, each of the three be-
ing paid an annual salary of 5000.
The President appoints them, with
the consent of the Senate. Virtual
| ly the President is the supreme
authority. If he wishes to do so,
he can absolutely control the ad-
ministration of the District of
Columbia more automatically by
far than would be permitted to
the governor of any State.
The local government has proven
very satisfactory in the main, al
though the farthest removed from
being representative government.
But with all its advantage it is
probably the finest representation
of red tape, such as would put the
red tape of the British department
in the shade, that has ever been
developed in this country. The
three commissioners divide the
supervision of local governmental
activities. One has the police;
another the health department,
and so on. While each has sup
RENE authority, subject to the
President, in his own field, no one
stands forth as the head of the
District government If a Senator
or a member of the House wants
to inquire about a certain topic, he
must first ascertain which commits
sioners has jurisdiction. The voice
of the District Commissioners is
expressed only at board meetings
and this voice daily condescends
to very minute details. For in
stance, if it is proposed to send a
bill or some other document to a
certain person, strictly speaking
the action must first be approved
by all three commissioners.
So it has been proposed that the
city of Washington, or rather the

BACK BROKEN, HE MAY LIVE
Robert Olsen, Victim of Long Beach
Accident Operated on at Hospital

Robert Olsen, who was found Sun
day morning lying in ditch beside
the tracks of the Pacific Electric rail-
who was removed to the county hos
pital, yesterday underwent an opera
ton for broken back, and his condi-
ton indicates that he has an even
chance for his life.
When Olsen was found it was thought
that his principal injuries were the
bruises about his head and body apd
that his weakened condition was due
mainly to the loss of blood which re-
suited from the various cuts about
his person. Yesterday at the county
hospital more complete examination
was made and revealed the fact that
his back was broken.
The operation which Olsen under
went at the hands of DR.. Barber and
DR.. Norton is one of the most delicate
known to the medical fraternity The
vertebrae of the backbone must he
drawn together, and unless everything
is most favorable to the patient it
usually fails of it's purpose.
Although he was under the influence
of the anaesthetics while DR.. Barber
and his assistant were removing a
section of the backbone prior to set
ting the vertebrae. when he did re-
cover his senses Olsen was in a re-
markably strong state. and his bear
ing up under the strain was such as
to cause the two surgeons to believe
that their patient will entirely re-
cover.
