WASHINGTON, October H.-Thus
far the sugar trust of the United states
has shown no inclination to secure con-
trail of the production Of sugar in the
Philippine Islands and for substantial
reasons. In the first place, during the
past year the value of sugar exported
from the Philippines amounted ITO
about 81, 1000, 900. OF which about $780,
900 represents the value of the product
exported to the United States, Second

principal market for Philippine sugar.

little or no refining is attempted, hut
the product is exported In the coarsest
shape.
Secretary Taft, the Philippine CON-
mission and bureau of insular affairs
of the war department labored earnest
ly and increasingly with congress to
secure a reduction of the duty on su-
gar exported to this country from the
Philippines, but congress turned them
down at the intercession of growers or
beet and cane sugar In the United
States. Hearings were conducted be-
fore the house committee on ways and
means at Washington and the recent
visit of Secretary Taft and a party
OF congressman to the Philippines was
primarily for the purpose of giving the
opponents of reduction of the duty
from rs to 25 per cent. an opportunity
to judge by personal investigation and
inspection the exact status of affairs
in cane products in the Archipelago.
1t is the purpose of Secretary Taft
to urge congress at its approaching
session in December to assent to the
proposed reduction with a view to Gre
ating a better market for the Philio-
pine sugar and enabling the producers
to say to China and Japan that IL they
want the cane they must pay more
for II than now.
Under existing conditions in the is
lands no corporation can obtain or hold
more than 1000 acres or sugar cane
land and the plantations range In area

The size of the rope was IA inches

Yes, I have removed the warplng

upper end of the harbor, but 1 do not

I'm these big ships not coming in at all.
Would not that be nice?" and the big
genial Superintendent of Public Works
looked a whole lot and said nothing,

The investigation conducted by this
department shows beyond a doubt that
the cable was the property of the
dredger Pacific. Until the War De-
partment ordered them out. through
Lieut. Slattery of the U. S. Engineers,
they had been accustomed to using a
Wire and when they got through, they
would unshackle 1t and drop 1t just
where it was and pick up another
The loose ends of these cables would be
marked by floats. The Pacific had q
cable on the lighthouse buoy and you
may rest assured that 1t was the Pa
cific that moved the warping buoy
near the old Mokolii WAIKIKI of its old
position. Very likely they left their
cable still attached there and that is
what the Siberia picked up. 1t can
not be permitted. 1t is up to Lieut.
Slattery and he has ordered the con-
tractors to keep their cable ends out
of the harbor lines. If they leave their
cables down hereafter, they must pail
them out of the harbor and either
throw them over the other side on the
reef or otherwise see that they are
out of the harbor. And so we have
taken out those old warping buoys to
be sure that no cables are hereafter
attached to them"
Lieut. Slattery said that he was now
satisfied that the cable which ran afoul
of the Siberia was one of the dredger
contractors cables and that he had is
sued orders as stated by Superintend-
ent Holloway, so that there would be
no trouble in the future.

charge of the Federal lighthouse estab-
lishment, which includes buoys, said

HILLS BOATS MIGHT STOP
HERE EN- ROUTE, HOME

Captain John Kidwell, recently re-
turned from the Sound, says that there
Is possibility that Jim Hills big
boats may be induced to come here on
their way back from the Orient. 1t
would NOT be practicable for them to
come this way going out for they are
of such heavy draught with west
bound freight, that they would have to
lie outside the harbor. OF course, aft
err the federal government finishes the
dredging of the channel and harbor,
they could come into port. 1t is not
presumed that it would pay them to
bring passengers here coming and have
to take them off In the tug.
Capt. Kidwell, while on the Sound,
met the purser of one of these Pacific
leyiathans, a Mr.. Beamish who was
formerly purser of the America Maru.
He is working hard to get the COM
pany to stop here and feels that Homo
lulu should interest herself in the mat
ter at once.
Should Honolulu be successful In OBJ
tanning this addition to her regular
steamship callers Capt. Kidwell feels
sure that the ships would spring i'm
mediately into popularity. He says
that he went all through the steamer
on the Sound and the accommodations
are far superior to those of any steam

The harbor is safe from distractions
and will hereafter be kept so. This
is the mandate of the local authori-
ties, both federal and territorial. No
''vags" will be permitted within the
lines of the harbor. Every thing with
in the harbor lines will have to work
or move on" The two territorial
warping buoys will have to go. In
fact one of them went out with the
Siberia last week and has not yet re-
covered from the trip. The other left
yesterday for parts unknown. They
were not needed any longer and Super
intendent Holloway ordered them taxi
en- out so that there would be no more
"vag" cables attached to them for
steamships to pick up
Lieutenant Slattery completed the
work by ordering the dredging con-
tractors to keep the harbor and chan
mel clear of all wire ropes not actual
ly in immediate use. The old rotten
wires that may be down underneath
the mud can rest there as they have.
for the past generation, perhaps. Such
things are found in every harbor of
any age and are not considered a
menace to commerce or an obstruction
to navigation.
Both the federal and the territorial
official Investigations now show that
the cable which is speeding away to
Japan on the propeller shaft of the
Siberia was neither old nor rotten, but
new and strong and with it's clamp still
covered with asphaltum paint. So all
fear of the harbor being filled with
derelict or vagrant cables ready to
rise to the level of propeller and
smash its blades is passed. More than
that it never existed. The harbor al
ways has been considered perfectly
safe in that respect and Is as safe
today as ever 1t was and what is bet
ter. Notwithstanding the dredger' oper-
atoms, it will be kept safe continu-
ously and continually.
Speaking yesterday of the theory
that the piece of cable picked UP by
the Siberia last Friday was section
of wire rope that had been turned
loose by some ship in years gone past,
Superintendent of Public Works, c. S.
Holloway, Strengthened up in his big
office chair and, not quite understand
ing the question, said, who says that

1t was mere theory, not necessarily
statement of fact, a smile played over
his pleasant features and he said,
well, the facts are the piece of cable
which was picked up by the Siberia
was no old wire. 1t was new. 1t had

Farnham was to be paid $1,000 year

ton to give him an extra $1,000 If the
ENJOYS expenses seemed to warrant.

How Ben must have been tickled,
All dispatches for the Hawaiian Gov
eminent were to be addressed to Rev
William Richards, Lahaina, in care of
Rev. Rufus Anderson, Boston.
Another document Mr.. Lydecker
found was one endorsed, Copy of let
ter of credit forwarded by Don Quixote
across the continent" Its contents
showed it to be for $4,000, covering
Farnham's salary for year. fss
Farnham never got the amount of a
years salary, however, nor does he
seem to have earned it, He negoti-
ated no treaty and there is a lengthy
receipt containing a protest from him,
acknowledging $1,000 latterly and $500
formerly received and protesting that
these amounts were not just remuner-
alton for his services. This document
is evidently written by a lawyer-prob-
ably Ben Butler. 1t refers to former
protest and Farnhams signature is
attested by VIM. Richards.
The receipt and protest, it should be
mentioned, were received at the hands
of Messrs. Haalilio and Richards.
These gentlemen were joint minister's
plenipotentiary sent in 1912 60 the three
powers ito negotiate new treaties, and
to obtain a guarantee of the independ-
ence of the kingdom" (Alexander's
History, page 23O, their expenses hav-

loan of ten thousand pounds in cash
made by Sir George Simpson, gov
ernor of the Hudson's Bay Company,
who while visiting Honolulu on bust
ness became convinced that the Ha-
waiian Government had been unjustly
accused by his countrymen in certain
controversies. 1t would seem there
fore that Haalilio and Richards had
been instructed to settle with Farm
ham.
There is writing, in the present find,
to show that all the documents from
the Hawaiian Islands had been for
warded to Butler in care of Rev. Mr.
Anderson, Boston: also that they had
been sent in duplicate at different
times

FRESH START ON
..-.- CRIMINAL CASES

Judge Lindsay will begin today, as
presiding judge of the September term,
to try criminal cases. At the beginning
of the term he assigned the criminal
calendar to Judge Robinson, as he him
self had the Parker equity case on his
hands. Judge Robinson reduced the
number of cases considerably by rulings
on demurrers, etc, but was early block
ed by points of law raised which had
to go to the Supreme Court. A whole
month was lost on the futile point that
because the court did not sit on the
first day of the term, which was Labor
Day, the term had lapsed.
Deputy County Attorney Milverton
yesterday moved "a criminal appeals
from Honolulu District Court on tho
calendar.
The first case to be tried by Judge
Lindsay will be that of Takada for
murder alleged to have been committed
in a drunken row at Waialua on the
Japanese Emperor's birthday last year.
A. Perry and H. G. Middleditch will
conduct the defense.

ef now entering this port Said he,
The staterooms are one-half larger
than those on the Korea and yet they
are so built that 1t is impossible to
put more than two passengers In one
cabin. There are four decks on these
boats, saloon. promenade, main and
bridge. The bridge deck Is fitted with
brass bedsteads in place of berths, each
accommodating two persons; also
suites for families, containing sit
ting room. The boats are of over 90
900 tons burden, $50 feet long with 10
foot beam and 56-foot depth. Another
advantage Is the very large berths,
larger than those on the Korea and an
electric reading light inside each berth
so that one passenger may read with
out disturbing his roommate. Then
too, every room is an outside room and
situated amidships, giving the least
motion possible. Each steamer is also
equipped with first-class steam
laundry"
Capt. Kidwell suggested that papers
be sent to Mr.. Beamish showing the
congested condition of Honolulu's
coast passenger traffic and the grow
ing tendency to prefer the big liners
to the older and smaller boats and
the description of the harbor improve
ments now under way.
