ourselves up and we will not be
disappointing by comparison to
%posterity.
With the fancy price which we
pay the English spinner tor his
.awns and other liner grades Of
cotton fabrics, we can get some
idea of the profits made on a
pound OF our cotton. American
mills make the coarser class OF
goods, such "a towels, domestic
and jeans, IN which the profits
are not so great as in these mus
ms and lawns. If England and
Germany a do these things.
why cannot we? When a pound
OF cotton il SO worked up as to
BRING $50 pound, It is not diff
tcult 10 see that one cent more
or less does not very seriously
concern the miIlnan in the
purchase OF the crude article.
America viii not be lndepend-
ent Of the English and Cont
nental buyer until American
thrift and progressiveness have
established mills for the manu-
lacture Of the finer grades OF
cotton goods.
II these foreigners can pay the
expensive rates for the ship
mcnt OF cotton from this coln-
try, manufacture the crude stun
into fabrics, and then pay re-
turn fire. ghts and al exorbitant
tariff rate. we can get some idea
OF the immense profits 10 DC
made on the manufacture OF this
class of foe goods.
American independence in
this Industrial and manutactur-
ing Inc cannot bc asserted until
we become the makers OF these
,ine goods.

1T is the finest collection of fishes in
the woodland 1 have seen all the ia
nous collections"
In those words David Starr Jordan,
President of Stanford University, the
man that knows all that there is to
know, nearly. about fish, pronounced
his verdict upon the Honolulu Aqua
rum. There are aquariums, according
to DR.. Jordan, that are larger and that
have finer fittings. There is not one,
anywhere" he says. where there can
be seen SO large a number of rare and
beautiful specimens of fish,
Dr. Jordan has visited the Aquarium
twice since he has been in the city, and
has studied the fishes most intently
each time. I learn something new
every time come here" he said. And
considering how much DR.. Jordan al
ready knows about fishes, that is say
ing a great deal.
Upon the occasion of his second visit
he discovered an entirely new variety
OF hsh-entirely new to these waters,
that is-and was as pleased over it as
possible. 1t viii be remembered that
DR.. Jordan once wrote a book descrip-
tive of Hawaiian fishes. and one that
is new to him must be a wonder
But, at that. it wasn't much of a fish
Just a little, pudgy, ugly-Iooking beast
with outstanding fins and wide mouth
about the color of mud and looking for
all the world like one of those useless
things called suckers" that you used
to catch in the creek when you were
a boy and pound on the head with a
rock because they had stolen your bait

HIGHLY OF AQUARIUM

rock cod family, showing a fondness
for clinging to the rocks in the bot
tom of the tank, and rarely moving
about at all. However, one of them
there are two at the Aquarium-did
move while DR. Jordan was looking at
it, and he saw its yellow pectoral fins.
And when he saw the fins he saw at
once that it was a new variety. The
fish, although DR.. Jordan had never
seen it before, seems to be fairly COM
mon in Hawaiian waters. 1t is called
by the natives MANU-
But DR.. Jordan is not the only visi-
tor who speaks in high praise of the
Aquarium. You can say for me, >"
said Sidney NJ. Ballou yesterday paus-
ing in front of the tanks, that this
beats the aquarium at Naples. They
have a biological department there. of
course, and many accessories, but they
have no such collection of fishes az
this
The aquarium at Naples, in fact, is
one of the show places of the world,
the Mediterranean fishes being noted
for their gorgeous cOloring. but in this
they are not comparable to the fishes
of Hawaii. A great many new and
strange varieties are now being re-
ceived at the Aquarium, one that at
tracted great attention yesterday be-
ing an "olani,'' a kind OF large. blue
fish with a beak like a parrot-slow
and somewhat lazy of movement. but
very graceful.
There was a new member in the
house of the octopus yesterday. a lit
tie splotchy fellow who was receiv-
ed by the other inmates of the place
without any commotion at all. The
big, new shark, IS feet long, and much
larger through the body than any for

MAUI LANDS
FOR FARMS
Registration Perjury Is
AIIeged..-Preacher
Called.

| MAUI. March 1.-THE March tern
of court of the End Judicial Circuit be-
gan at Wailuku courthouse on We'd
nesday morning, Hon. A. n. Kepoikai
presiding. A calendar of 81 criminal
cases is to be considered. The trial
jurors were excused until Monday, but
the grand jury with r. A. Wadsworth
as foreman has been steadily engaged
and will probably not render a final
report until Monday or Tuesday of
next week A partial report has al
ready been handed in consisting of
eleven indictments.
Among the cases to be tried are a
burglary case and one of perjury. A
certain Auwekolani of Kanaio is
charged with swearing falsely before
the Board of Registration as to his
age 1t is alleged that he is between
10 and 10 years old-affidavit to Fl
years in order to be registered as a
voter. This is the first case of the
kind in connection with the registra-
ton board that has ever been brought
before Maui courts.
Captain Thompson, the stenographer,
is the only Honolulu dignitary pres
ent at the court proceedings as yet.
LAND SETTLEMENT.
Land Commissioner ]. w. Pratt and
Surveyor S. NJ. Kanakanui have jour-
meyer nearly all over the island during
the last ten days. Last week was spent
in Hama district, government lands at
Kipahulu, Wailua and keanae being
visited.
1t is proba BILE that the lower lands
at Wailua, the fiat now occupied by
Chinese rice planters, and the makai
lands of Keanae, comprising about 100
acres altogether. will be granted to
settlers, there being now about 80 bona
fide applications on file. Each APP
plicant will be allowed a homestead of
about three acres comprising two acres
of kula land without water and one
of taro or rice land with water rights.
On their return by the steamer
Claudine from Keanae on Saturday
last, Messrs. Pratt and Kanakanui, ac-
companied by Hugh Howell, went to
Lahaina via Waikiki to look into some
matters relating to government land
titles. On Monday the land officials re-
turned to Wailuku and spent Tuesday
in viewing government lands at Kaha-
kuloa. In regard to these latter it is
probable that the forty little pieces
of taro lands-remnants scattered here
and there in the gulch, will be sold at
auction, while the remaining acreage
