Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt
have met upon the peaceful iield OF
the White House officers aud eX-
changed compliments, which for
wit and brillancy could have been
eXcelled by any modern hero of ro-
nance, bat which were clearly in
dicative of mutual respect. 1t is
something of an intellectual triumph
when a man of Bryan's avOwed
principles Of four years back can
gracefully and apparently with sin
cerity congratulate the President on
some of his accomplishments, and il
is not less Il demonstration of RoOse-
velt's breadth OF spirit and liberallty
that he received Mr.. Bryan with
such cordiality. Both of these men
are still young and it may be that
neither has reached his fullest de-
velopment- Bryan, certainly in
the last few years has shown IA broad
ening of vision and pronouncement
that may or may not have been due
to that enlightening experience of II

meeting Mr.. Bryan spoke of that

plan the revenue can be received at
a period of the year when the funds in
the TreasurJ are iikely to be lowest.
1t would have other additional advan-
tages and would be of some convent
ence to the public.
Referring to the estimate submitted
at the special session of the Legislature
in 1904, deficit was anticipated on
July LIST, 1904, of s65s, 100000. The
Treasurer informs me that the deficit
at that date was S652, 40l.02, which
shows the accuracy of the figures sub
mitted by your Auditor and former
Treasurer.

A, says: The Jill says that the Togo
Kisen Kaisha, which had made inves-
LEGATIONS into the future of Pacific
navigation, has decided to build two
large steamers of $4,000 tons and 20
knots speed each. The company has
only recently concluded negotiations,
through the medium of Messrs. Samuel
Samuel & Co., to obtain loan in Eng
land from Mr.. Rothschild on the guar
antee of the Yokohama Specie Bank.
According to this loan contract, the
Togo hisen Kaisha will be allowed to
obtain any amount OF money up to five
million yen at 6 per cent interest per

stallments within five or seven years.
The new steamers will be built in ia.

ported from abroad. Two years will
be required to complete them. They
will be placed on the San Francisco
line together with the present Nippon

VALENTINE
DANCE AT

The Valentine Dance at the Hawai-

cert given by the Hawaiian Govern

whose birthday anniversary was cele-
brated. The hotel grounds were bril-

lanais and corridors were filled with
auditors. The lanals were prettily
decorated with strings of red paper

established base to work from and not
starting as a project de novo"
Does the Hilo franchise cover this
territory?"' asked Governor Carter.
ut does" replied Mr.. Thurston.
1T viii require no action by the legis-
lature or by Congress?"
None"
There is no time limit" interjected
Mr.. Peck.
None" said Mr. Thurston. "The only
Limitation is that 1t is provided in the
franchise that after any section has
been surveyed and the survey accepted,
1t must be finished within five years"
1t developed on further discussion
that the Kohala-Hilo road had issued
no bonds, Mr.. Peck having paid all
the bills himself, and then Governor
Carter said he wanted legal light on
the matter
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Andrews had never
seen the franchise of the Hllo- Kohala
road before the hearing began, and was
not prepared to commit himself upon
first reading. 1t was question, in his
mind, II the Superintendent of Public
Works would consent to waiver of
the forfeiture clause, whether any citi-
zen might not have the power to go
into court and compel its enforcement.
Governor Carter expressed the idea
that a deadlock had been reached, in
asmuch as the Kohala-Hilo people
could not ask for money unless an ex-
tension were secured, and capital would
not look at the project until an as
surance of the extension was given.
Mr.. Thurston suggested that a stipu-
lation from the Superintendent OF Pub
lie Works that the forfeiture clause
would be waived IL money were raised
to build the road would be enough to
appeal to capitalists with, and that
suited Mr.. Peck.
The discussion turned upon the
legal aspect of the case, and upon the
statement of the Attorney General that
he wanted some time to look into the
matter, the meeting broke up with the
understanding that Mr.. Peck would be
given until August LIST to finance the
road IL he could. IF he does that, and
gets enough money to build to Onomea
in two years and to Hakalau In three,
the franchise will be extended II It
can be legally done. II 1t cannot. the
time for building the road will expire
In April That is, after Ap.'il the Super
intendent of Public works can give
notice that the franchise is terminated.

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, sis plant
of slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form foun-
dation for trust. In regard to a
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, "Has it cured 9TH
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it a record above suspic-
ion? If SO, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if | am ever attacked
by any of the maladies for which
it is commended / shall resort
to it in full belief in its pow
er to help me-" On these lines
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION

mong medical men, and the
people of all civilized countries.
They trust it for the same reason
