JUDGE HATcHs POSITION.

The washington Post says: Mr..
Francis NJ. Hatch, late Hawaiian Min
lister at Washington, who is spend
ing the winter in the city, in an inter-
view with reporter of The Post yes
terday, discussing the probable effect
on Hawaii of the proposed Philippine
tariff measure, said:
'-Everything that Mr.. Walsh has said
in regard to the damage which would
result to Colorado in case Philippine
sugars are admitted into the United
States free of duty, applies with
double force to Hawaii. Hawaii could
not for a moment compete with the
vast quantities of sugar which would
pour into the United States from the
Philippines in case the duty were re-
moved. The danger to Hawaii is great
er than to any other part of the coun-
try, for the simple reason that sugar
is the only crop which can be pro-
duced in Hawaii at a profit. Many
other enterprises have been attempt
ed, but without success. Coffee was
supposed to offer fine opening for the
small farmer The price of the Bra
lillian coffee, however. dropped so low
that living wages could not be made
in Hawaii in coffee culture. Miles of
small coffee orchards on the Volcano
road leading out of Hilo had to be
abandoned after annexation. A small
duty on coffee would undoubtedly re-
yive this industry, but as the case
stands today, Hawaifs prosperity de-
pends solely on its sugar industry. This
in Hawaii constitutes both agriculture
and manufacture. 1t has been found !

WOOD GETS
GOOO NEWS
Magazines to Devote
Much Space to
Hawaii.

Atherton Brownell, of the Industrial
Press Alliance of New York, one of the
press agents who accompanied the TAFT
party to Honolulu and the Orient, is
busying himself in writing articles for
various eastern publications on Ha-
wall.
Secretary Wood has letters from Mr..
Brownell telling his plans in this re-
spect. Mr.. Wood is overioyad at
Brownell's cooperation, for his articles
are pretty sure to get into magazines
and newspapers and Hawaii will reap
the benefit.
Mr.. BrowneI1 is taking a decided in
terest in the proposed San Francisco
Honolulu yacht race to be pulled off in
July under the auspices of the Hawaii
Yacht Club and the Promotion Com
mittee, for which a handsome cup is
to be offered. He believes that this is
an important matter to place before
the mainland public. He will begin to
give the race as much prominence as
possible. The floral parade is to be
featured at once. Mr.. Brownen IS
about to write an article On horse
back riding in the islands, with par
ticular reference to the Pau riders.
This article will be illustrated. Mr..
Brownell also calls attention to the
National Magazines proposition to
send party down here next year. The
magazine sends out a travelling party
annually, the result of a competition
in story writing. He hopes that this
visit will result in considerable bene-
fit to the islands. From now on the
National Magazine will have an artl-
Gle on Hawaii in every issue, and well
illustrated.
H. P. Wood, who is member of the
Congressional Committee of the Trans
Mississippi Irrigation Congress. intends
to see that Hawaii is we'll represented
at the next session. This congress is
one of the best advertised organizations
in the West and it's proceedings are
given wide publication.

coming fiesta on Washington's BIRTH

Coast, from Vancouver to San Diego,
in the next two weeks. Posters will

conspicuous display not only on the

I WASHINGTON, D. c., December IS.
1.-The hearings before the House Com
Nrnittee on Ways and Means on the
Philippine Tariff have been in progress
during the past week. Judge F. M
Hatch has been one of the witnesses
and has also been working Industrious
ay for the defeat Of the bill. It is be-
ginning to look as though the bill
might never become law, although 1T
IS too early yet to make any positive
predictions. Judge Hatch had a very
rough time before the committee, how
ever, Chairman Payne bluntly asking
him what right Hawaii had to COM
plain when her people for twenty years
had enjoyed free trade with this coun-
try?
The fact is, however, that Judge
Hatch has been making some very eff
fect:ve arguments, and these argu-
ments have enlisted the sympathies Of
many House and Senate leaders. He
has urged that Hawaii, as well as
Porto Rico, having accepted in full the
sovereignty of the United States and
being loyal to the government in every
particular, are more deserving of con-
sideration than islands like the Philip
zines, whose status is uncertain, 1t not
having been determined yet whether
the Philippines will ever become per-
manent part of the United States.
It was the intention of the Speaker
to have the Philippine bill passed in
the House before the holidays, but the
opposition has been so powerful that it
mas been decided to pro1ong the hear
ings and spar for time. The sugar
trust and the tobacco trust support of
the tariff bill has done it no good in
these troublous times when Congress
men are shy about touching elbows
with such interests, even if the cause
is worthy. Many protests are pouring
in against the bill and there have been
many features to complicate the stu
alton. ERNEST G.. WALKER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1S.-Mr.

here, having argued the Hawaiian Fish
cries case before the Supreme Court for
the Bishop estate, last week. His ar

for which his fee, it is stated here, will
be fifteen hundred dollars. He is now
awaiting the filing of brief by the
government, SO that he can file a brief
for his clients. Mr.. Ballou is stopping
at the Shoreham.
Coming across the continent he had a
disastrous experience, in being in the
Union Pacific wreck, wherein nine peo-
pie were killed. Mr.. Ballou escaped un-
hart, but he lost practically all his
wardrobe and the Washington tailors
are now busy replenishlng it. He will
have all new clothes when he appears
again on the streets of Honolulu. Mr..
Ballou was the hero of the Union Pa

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending May 8, 1905
The temperature of the first week in
May was above normal in all parts
of the state, the warmest portion be-
ing the Mississippi slope. The rain
fall was light, except in few local
tiles in the central and northern sec
tons. There was considerable
excess of cloudiness, with high winds
that retarded growth to some extent.
Reports indicate good progress in
farm operations. Flowing is general
ly we'll completed, and a good be-
ginning has been made in planting
corn in all DISTRICTS. With favorable
weather it is anticipated that the
larger part of the corn area will be
planted by the 18th, with the soil
generally in fine filth. In a few
localities early planted corn is COM
ing up nicely.
The growth of grass and small
grain has been fairly good, though
in considerable portions of the state
these crops would be improved by
warm rains. The promise of the
staple fruits is yet very good in all
sections. Garden truck. is coming
on early, despite occasional light
| frosts.

chas. Mcreland Killed.

1t was with deepest sorrow that
the citizens of this town learned of
the death of Charles Moreland,
which occurred at Chicago yesterday
morning. The Chicago Tribune
gives the following account of it in
today's issue:
Mrs. Charles Morcland, who had
been i'll at her home, 1854 Cottage
Grove avenue, for several days,
learned Of the death of her husband
in an accident yesterday, and arose
from her bed and insisted on going
to the undertaker's establishment to
see personally that the body was
properly cared for. Mr.. Moreland
was driving one of the II. II. Kohl
satt company's bakery wagons south
in Indiana avenue. when at Twelfth
street, he attempted to cross the street
car tracks and his wagon was struck
by car going in the same direction.
The force of the collision was not
great and the moterman Of the car
was waiting for the wagon to drive
off the track when he saw the lines
dragging on the ground. Walking
to the front of the wagon he found
that Moreland had been thrown from
his seat, and, falling against the win
dow in the front of the wagon, had
broken the window. A piece of
the broken glass had served his Jug
larvein and death had been instant"
Charles Moreland was born and
raised here, where his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Richard Moreland, con-
Quoted a hotel. His mother was
a sister of Mrs. Fl. j. Denton and
a daughter of Judge Earl, in whose
honor the town is named. The
deceased was 30 years of age and
about II years ago went to Chicago
where he has since resided. He
had hosts of friends here who express
sympathy to the wife, children,
parents and relatives in their sad
bereavement.-Earlville Phoenix.
Mr.. Moreland was for several
years resident of this city and his
host of friends here sincerely mourn
his early demise.

was seen at the Central Opera house
Monday evening. William Owen APP
peared as Iago and j. w. Mcconnell
as Othello, and were supported by a
cast of more than ordinary strength
and talent. Mr.. Owen carried the
leading speaking part with ease and
us one thoroughly familiar with his
role. His work in the portrayal of
the artful william, lago, is to be much
commended. Mr.. Mcconnell and
Camilla Reynolds were especially
we'll suited to their respective parts,
Othello and Desdemona, and by rea-
son of their clear and distinct enun-
citation enabled the audience to fol-
low the lines without effort. Mr..
Frank Huelschoff, who appeared as
Cassie, formerly lived in Dubuque
and was here in Human Hearts"
about three years ago. Mr.. Owen
and Camilla Reynolds, who took the
part Of Desdemona, were married
a short time ago at Clinton, Iowa.
