ONCE MORE

N. B. Breckenridge, who used to be
a schoolteacher over on the Koolau
side OF the island. is q picturesque
scamp OF uncommon smoothness.
Readers OF this paper for some years
back will recall the scrape he got into
and the choice which was given him
Of going to Jail or getting out of the
country. He chose to get-but Homo
lulu firms soon began to hear from
him.
Breckenridge felt that the world
owed him a living and he went out to
collect u in this way: He would call
on big house on the mainland and
lodge an order for thousands of dol
lars worth Of goods to be sent to some
arm here or else get an order for Ho-
noluln to all. In the course OF the
negotiation or afterwards, he would
solicit a loan or possibly commission.
How much he collected on a big order
of whisky for Castle & Cooke 10 not
known here, but he made the deal pay
1t will be observed that Mr.. Brecken-
ridge is a humorist as well as a scamp.
While travelling about the East Mr..
Breckenridge called on the brother OF
u. d. Teuney of Castle & Cooke and
made himself so agreeable that the
Eastern Tenney loaned him $500. The
loan is still maturing.
In due time Mr.. Breckenridge did
things to an Indiana pillow factory and
was sent to Jail. But evidently he IL
out, for only the other day Castle q
Cooke received large order for pine
apples from Cincinnati house. En-
closed was personal note from Breck-
enridge to Mr.. Tenney telling him IL
he couldn't get the pineapples at such
and-such place he might try others
which the correspondent was kind
enough to mention.
| Castle & Cooke are in expectation Of
getting invoices OF opium. playing
cards. plug tobacco, blooded horses and
billiard tables and orders for feather
cloaks. birds OF paradise, copra moth
er Of pearl and other tropical products.
Having had good rest. at the ex-
pense OF Indiana, Mr.. Breckenridge h
ready to do business on any scale and
always aims to please.

IA. The House went In to Committee
of the Whole once more and with
Chairman Holstein In the chair again
took up the matter of the County Bill.
Chapter II being under consideration.
The chapter passed with merely verbal
amendments
Chapter III OF the bill deals with
district boundaries and 1t passed after
desultory discussion. An error In
the act as originally drawn, which left
the island of Lanai out of Lahaina
district, was corrected.
Chapter ~ dealing with the general
powers, liabilities and limitations of
counties was passed as was Chapter
V, respecting the location of County
Seats.
An important amendment was made
In Chapter vi concerning county off,
GERS. Rep. Harris moved that the
proposed exception of the Board of
Supervisors from popular election be

private property but menace to a very large and influential labor con stituency. As matters are now shap- ing there is little prospect of any in- furious railroad legislation during the coming session of congress. Recent insurance disturbances have had an unsettling effect upon the public
 mind, but the tide of optimism is rum ming so strong that these incidents seem to be quickly forgotten. Fer. haps the most important factor in the speculative outlook just now is the at titude of the big market leaders. Some of these are known to be dis tinctly bullish owing to the prosperity of the great corporations which they control Certain of them are known to be very large holders of stocks and intent upon pushing prices to a higher level as soon as general conditions permit Other equally important in terests are known to be passive and, while not resisting any advance, show little inclination to assist it. The lat ter element have been preaching con seryatism for some time, and whether they have. declined to openly join in with the bulls because they wish to buy at lower level or whether they really desire to place wholesome re- straint upon market movements is not yet divulged. In any event. we are likely to have an attractive trading market for some weeks to come. Good stocks will be purchase on sharp re- actions, yet We continue to advise sales on the good rallies until the mon- etary outlook becomes more satisfac- tory. Liquidation did some good, but 1t would have been healthier had con- traction been a little more drastic.

It is now announced that two con gressmen have been caught in the Schuylkill arsenal frauds. None of the details of the case have been made public, but a report has been filed with the war department and The names of the congressman probably will come out when indictments are secured, unless tEey have pull enough to keep their names from going before the grand jury. It will be remem- bered that the Schuylkill arsenal frauds were turned up last spring. It was found that a number of the con- tractors for clothing and the like had been working of inferior goods on the government and paying the in- spectors to say nothing about it. Now it appears that two congressman at least were concerned in the frauds. One of the men was a manufacturer. What the others connection with the case was has not yet developed.

Despite general belief to the con trary, the railroads of the United States kill smaller number of pas sengers yearly than those of the Brit ish empire in proportion to the num- Der carried. Statistics recently con- piled prove this. This is assuring so far as 1t goes. Every reader of news papers appreciates that the loss of fife through railroad accidents is still too great. When every car is made as strong and as wreck proof as those cars upon which extra fares are charged the loss of life wifi-be re- duced to a minimum. This time will come either as a result of business evolution or a demand of the people.

The ship subsidy question is again coming to the front. It was one of the topics at the banquet given in New York one evening last week to the naval architects. The principal speak CTS were Harvey D. GOulder, the great admiralty lawyer, of Cleveland, Ad- mIral Bob" Evans and Senator Gal finger. NIT GouIder is a firm believer In the ship subsidy proposition and in the course of a recent interview said: .'The assertions from the navy gives us a plain lesson. It is not every boy who goes to sea that follows the sea. You make up your navy by hiring all the boys you can and those fitted for the calling stay; the others get away as soon as they can. This happens in peace times. When wal comes you have to apply to this raw material to help out your carefully trained men and j0 per cent or more win prove un- adapted to any service aboard ship.
