II the Russians have won a verdict

it simply means that merchant vessels,
approaching war fleet at night dur
ing hostilities, do so at their own risk.
Considering what destructive ruses
are employed by naval enemy, bel
ligerent feet cannot be too cautious
about its nocturnal visitors. A fishing
boat crossing too near such ships risks
the same fate that a farmer or mer-

The House. after a careful examina-
ton, has found nothing illegal in the
manner of Kuhio's election, so 1t is
hardly likely that the Iaukea contest
will go much further. One inquiry into
the electoral facts about an obscure
delegseeship is all the House, with its
multifarious duties. can afford. Efforts
are being made, though hardly in infiu-
entail quarters, TO convince Iaukea that
there Is life in the dead horse; but 1t
is doubtful that even he will be de-
ceived.

The cost of farm labor is 1852 a year.
The cost of stock and chicken feed is
$3.50 year.
The Orphanage farm has been under
cultivation for seven years.
A gentleman connected with the gov
eminent Agricultural Department in
Honolulu recently visited the farm and
expressed himself as being pleased with
the small farming at Kona Orphanage.
On the Orphanage grounds there are
about three hundred banana plants.
one hundred papaia trees, twelve alli-
gator pear trees, six mango trees. and
about three hundred pineapple plants.
one hundred of these pineapple plants,
donated by Mr.. Byron O. Clark, of Wa
hiawa, Oahu, are of the choicest va
riety.
No less than fifteen hundred quarts
of guava jelly and jam are made and
consumed at the Orphanage in a year.
The guavas grow wild.
For the past two years. through the
kindness of Mrs. E. C. Greenwell, Mr.
and Mrs. Tho. C. White, Miss Noenoe
Roy, and Hon. J. d. Paris, the children
have been enabled to pick pohas.
which have been converted into about
Ia hundred quarts of jam.
The children have also been permitted
to gather great quantities of papaias
bread fruit, ,mangoes, alligator pears
oranges, lemons, and rose apples, on
the Kona Sugar Company's land. Mrs
Alexander Cockburn has also contrib
uted mangoes, and japanese neigh
Dor has allowed the children to gather
papaias on his place.

FEARFUL PRICE
OF CONQUEST
KAISER'S AFRICAN CAMPAIGN
DRAINS EMPIRES RESOURCES

Berlin, Nov 22.-The news of recent
reverses In southwest Africa has
aroused great deal of bitter criticism
of the government and the campaign
in the colonies may prove a source of
great embarrassment.
Since the beginning of the unfortu-
nate campaign the total German loss
is reckoned at 1892 men, including
civilians; f,025 military persons Have
died either In battle or from sickness;
sos were wounded. Besides these, $50
men and officers have been sent
home broken in health.
As the campaign may continue am
other two years, the outlook Is gloomy
enough and the drain on the resources
OF the country Is also great--probably
200 900. 600 marks have already been
poured out on those arid deserts. As
colonial experts have assured the Ger
man public that southwest Africa can
not support more than 5000 white
families. there Is universal discomfort
at the enormous price paid for the res
toration OF German prestige. 'Proba-
bly, no recent action Of the German
government has done more TO in
crease the ranks of the social demOc-
racy than this ill-starred expedition IN
southwest Africa. There will be some
angry recrimination and much excited
debate when the reichstag meets next
March. and the government makes It's
proposals for fresh taxation OF beer
and tobacco.
