Following Is one of the most inter

Work was commenced upon said lot
in February, 1899, and continued until
November, 1900, after which time the
lot has been left to weeds and grass
| and used as pasture.
During the period Of nearly nine
years, the place was kept up to a high
standard Of cultivation and every
thing tried on the land that any one
would reasonably think would grow
and produce a profit for the time aud
labor expended.
The lot had crop Of cane upon II.

mistake by Kukaiau Plantation, and
work was not commenced until its re.

and narrowed the land, so IL was In

was in its infancy and great results

trees to be had for planting at that

trees growing in small patches in diff

These were not as desirable as seed
raised plants, but could be had now
without a wait of nine months or q
year. and some made very good bear

seed tree. They all had TO be cut back
or stumped to make a good shaped
tree.

OF $4,000 and the unexpended balance
of the st. Louis fund for the purpose
of allowing the badger state to be rep
resented at the Lewis and Clark expo
sltion at Portland, was ordered to a
third reading.
The following bills were ordered en-
crossed:
BY Mr.. Frank Johnson, relating to
the use of false weights or measures.
By Mr.. Leroy, by request, to pre-
vent the adulteration of meat products.
By the committee on agriculture, to
provide for liens upon horses and other
animals for the cost of shoeing the
same.
BY Mr.. Bletcher, relating to oath
and bond of the commissioner of in.
surance.
By Mr.. Crowley, relating to the an.
nual report on building and loan as
sociations
The bill to make state aid to agri.
cultural societies definite and uniform
was on the calendar with an amend
ment. marked for engrossment, but
Mr.. Irvine fought the amendment on
the ground that it left loophole for
saloons upon fair grounds. By his
vigorous talk he secured its defeat.
A little discussion was provoked
over Mr.. Schauer's bill, requiring agri-
culture to be listed among the common
school branches. Mr.. Roycraft thought
that the curriculum of our public
school system was burdened enough
already. Mr.. Schauer defended his
bill, as did also Mr.. McGregor and Mr..
Thayer. The former agreed with Mr..
Roycraft as to the curriculum being
burdened, but thought that the meas
ure was a worthy one and should pass.

Zaraitser regiment. This regiment
allowed the Japanese to approach
within 200 PAGES and then discharged
a volley from their rifles and opened
on them with quick fire guns, simply
moving down the Japanese, who were
repulsed.
Among the prisoners brought in on
Wednesday were number of pri-
Yates in new uniforms who were
from a recently organized japanese
reserve division. There is reason to
believe that another division is being
landed in the northern part of Corea,
for the purpose of making a demon
stration against V1adivostok
Wednesday there were furious at

These attacks were all repulsed. CT

CARNEGIE RELIEVED.
Steel King Through With the chao-
wick Trial.

WICK Irial.
Cleveland, March 10.-Andrew Car
negie is now definitely out of the pres
ent trial of Mrs. Chadwick. II she
should be acquitted this time. Mr.. Car
negie might appear at a subsequent
trial, but as far as the existing case is
concerned his pay is waiting for him
and he is at liberty to go home. United
States Marshal Chandler yesterday
made out a check for S64.40 to Mr..
Carnegie's order and it is held in the
marshals Office, pending Mr.. Carne-
gie's call for it. If he does not call it
will be mailed to him. The defense
yesterday made a desperate effort to
have the case taken from the jury and
a verdict of acquIttal rendered by the
court. After arguments lasting
through the greater part of the day
Judge Taylor, just prior to the after.
noon adjournment, overruled the mo
ton. The defense also attacked two
counts Of the indictment and asked
that certain parts of the testimony Of
fered by the government be stricken
out. An admission from the Judge that
he did not regard the two counts as
good" was the extent of the satisFac,
ton secured by the defense. 1t is
probable that the case will be given to
the jury this evening.

COLORADO CONTEST
GOES TO THE COURT

Denver, March 1O-The joint legis-
lative convention has sought an opin-
ion from the state supreme court on
the question whether it has power to
declare the office of governor vacant
and what the effect of such action
would be. and the decision of the Pea
body-Adams gWbernatorial contest will
be deferred until the courts answer
is received. Senator Alexander, a
member OF the contest committee,
was allowed yesterday to amend his
report, which favored the seating of
Lieutenant Governor Mcdonald as
governor, in such a way that II it
s,lould be now adopted by the joint
committee Governor Adams world be
legislated out of office Senator Alex
anders amended report declares that
there was no legal election of COVER
nor in that state last November, but
the resolution declaring Mr. Melon
aid 'the legal duly qualified governor
of the state" is omitted and the follow
ing is substituted:
THAT the action of the joint assem-
bly, in declaring Alva Adams elected
governor be hereby rescinded and re-
voked and that a vacancy be declared
il, the office Of governor.
Under the constitution the adop-
ton of the Alexander resolution would
seem to have the effect of continuing
Peabody in office, his legal successor
having not been elected. That ques-
ton, however, Will be submitted to the
supreme court for adjudication be
