have instructed Mr.. Roberts, our
agent at San Francisco said Mr..
Charles +. Kemper, the executive Of
ficer, ''to collect these new bids, both
those from bidders on the Pacific
Coast and those from Hawaii, and as
soon as he receives all these bids he
will forward them here to be opened.
We can not tell yet just how soon that
will be or how soon the award will
be made.
The representatives of the Territory,
who come here this winter seeking APP
preparations for various purposes, will
have to bear in mind that great de-
termination for economy prevails
Economy was the cry long before Con
gress met last December. 1t was diff
ficult to secure appropriations last
winter because of efforts to keep down
expenses. But now, from all appear
ances, those efforts are to be redou-
bled. The slogan was sounded by Speak
err Cannon, when in town a few days
ago. Mr. Cannon is a standpatter of
pronounced type. He was one of the
leaders who, last year, fought the tar
if revision advocates, including the
President, to standstill. But now
Mr.. Cannon is going a step farther.
He not only wants no tariff revision,
but he wants no revenue legislation
for the purpose of making up the def
cit. Mr.. Cannon said when here that
the country could stand two or three
more deficits of 25,000,000 without be
ing seriously embarrassed. He secuted
the idea that there would be any war
rant for stirring up the business of
the country by any kind of revenue
legislation. On the other hand he
talked the necessity of cutting down
appropriations all along the line. He
is determined to inaugurate vigorous
crusade against lump appropriations.
He proposes to discipline the extrava-
CANT department chiefs, who, in the
piping times since the Spanish war,
have gotten taste of lump appropria-
tions with wide authority in disburse-
ment. 1t is also plain that Mr.. Can
non intends to assert the will of the
House more emphatIcally than il has
been asserted since the days of the
indomitable Reed. He will be on his
second term and, of course, little more
firmly established than ever in his
place. Last year he did something to.

under all the circumstances, that Mr.
Cannon will succeed to degree. The
prevalence of scandals in the depart
ments and a general sentiment that

much money will aid Mr.. Cannon in his
economy campaign.

TO be as successful here. The land we
want is known as the Kawiki- Wailea

of land, 1900 of which. we believe, is
good cane land. We have one hundred
applicants for the tract, but accord

On occasions when his temper got

Monday he had a fit of temper and
quarreled with his wife.
He came up behind her and buried a
dirk in her back twice, one of the
thrusts going very near her heart and
passing almost through her body. The
woman died almost instantly and Lor-

Officers in the meantime were search

There was good deal of
