of Wallace Key
as Postmaster at Mayfield.

Patronage.
HIsTog OF rIGHrJusT CLOSED.

The appointment OF Wallace Key
as postmaster at Mayfield, as an
bounced in The Suns dispatches yes
terday. created quite a sensation in
Mayiield and West Kentucky, and
was as much a surprise 10 Happy and
his coherts as It was to any one.
Happy was in Washington few
weeks ago and thought ne had the
reappointment cinched. so states a
dispatch in yesterdays Louisville
Post, and no doubt the announce
ment was a very rude awakening. 1t
was not believed at first at Washing
tion by the pie-seekers who are there
seeking other positions. and 1t was
only after the record of appoint
ments was sen that ie'would be be-
iieved
The appointment is a great victory
for the Hon. J. c: Speight. OF May
field. and Postmaster Frank NJ. Fish

ing hand in. hand on the West Ker-
tucky appointments. They have land
ID their men in very nearly every in
stance. and the days of the Happy
crowds influence in West Kentucky
are evidently a thing of the past
Happy has fought the local Fisher
Farley element of the republican
party for years. but ouch year his in
iiuence has waned more and more
and this. seemingly. is the final prov.
erbial straw that does things to
camels
Mr.. Key IS one OF the most popu-
lar men ia the western part OF the
state A young man, he is very in
fluential and an active worker for
the party in his native city. He IS at
present secretary and treasurer OF
the Citizens Life Insurance company
of Louisville.
The Mayfield papers in comment
ing on the appointment, state that it
came as a Dol. from clear sky. as
everyone thought Happy, who has
held the Office for four years. would
be reeppointed. Tire few in the in
ner circle of politics in this part of
tho state, however, knew what was
going to happen, as few weeks ago
the grape vine tip went forth that a
recommendation for someone in
Happy's place had been received. ana
Key was selected as the man.
This is another nail in the politi-
cal coffin of former Senator Deboe
who endorsed Happy. and has always
fought Fisher so hard. 1t viii be re
membered that he told Mckinley and
also Roosevelt that he did not care
so much what was done with his
other recommendation when he was
senator, so long as Fisher was turn.
ed down at Paducah.
In this connection the following.
which is from a Mayiield special re-
ceived this afternoon, is of additional
interest:
POSTMASTER J. II. Happy, of this
place, left this morning for Wash
ington to renew the postofilee fight.
The appointment of l.. w. Keys by
the president Monday for postmaster
to succeed Happy was guile sur
prise to the people at this place. The
senate will be asked to hold up the
confirmation of Mr.. Keys appoint-
ment until Mr. Happy reaches Wash
ington and it is predicted a lively
fight between the Republican fac
tlons of this county is now on. II is
also predicted that Mr.. Key will have
no trouble in having his appointment
confirmed and VIII soon enter upon
the duties of his onlce."

The following is the text of the
agreement:

THE MINERS STRIKE
NEAR ITS END
Miners and Operators Agree to
Continue Award.
Men Who Have Not Committed Vio-
lence To Property VIII Not BE
Disseminated Against.
MEN TO RESUME WORK MONDAY

New York May S.-After carrying
on negotiations nearly three months
the subcommittee representing the
anthracite mine workers and opera
tors of Eastern Pennsylvania have
agreed to continue the award of the
strike commission for another three
years and the men will return TO
work as soon as practicable, prob
ably Monday.
All the miners who have not COM
mitted violence against persons or
property will be re-employed and no
one will be Disseminated against be-
cause of any activity he may have
taken in the strike movement. The
agreement is subject to the ratifica-
ton of the tr-district convention of
mine workers at Scranton today, but
there is no doubt the delegates will
approve the action of their repre-
sentatives.
This outcome of a dispute which
threatened to develop into a long bit
ter struggle and paralyze a great in
dustry was looked upon with consid-
cradle satisfaction by the coal road
presidents and the agreement entered
into is their proposition made early
in March in reply to the mine work
ers' original demands.
The miners had little to say regard
ing the agreement except it was the
best they could do. They pointed out
however. that the agreement entered
onto is the first general agreement
ev-r signed between the operators
and miners and they look upon 1t as
a step forward in their efforts to
have regular agreements with their
employers.

Will be handed down early in June

MANY Roads in Pool.
The most important of the cases
before the May federal grand jury Is
known rs the pooling case. which in
volv1s the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad company, the
Brle Railroad company. Baltimore &.
Ohio Railroad company, Dohigh Val
ley Railroad company. Delaware

Vermont Railroad company. the
Chesapeake & Ohio Rallrold com
pany and the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad company.
The charge. which is fully support
ed by indispulable evidence, Is that
in March. 1898. the public carriers
mentioned in the foregoing. entered
into contract agreement with one
another and with The sugar trust. to
pool all freight Of sugar refined in
Philadelphia and New York consigned
TO Western points. The scale OF appor
tionment was: New York Central
2.3s pr cent; ennsylyanin, 20.59
percent; Erie, 1901 per cent: Le-
high Valley. 1899 per cent. and so on
down the line to the Ontario 4 West
ern, which was allowed but 2.10 per
cent, At the time MIR. Hearst filed
his complaint this pool. or a modiG-
cation thereof, was stlll in force.
Lackawana Case Up.
Next in Importance is the case
against the Delaware. Lackawana &
Western, which is on practically The
same Hnes as the New York Central
case, which resulted in the SEVEN in
dictments found last week. On sugar
shipments through Lowell NJ. Palmer
since January, 1902. the road is al
legged to have allowed an Illegal re-
bate of 9 cents per 100 pounds. It
is likely that this case will be givea
immediate attention by the new
grand jury.
Then comes an iniere-.,.' case
against the Pennsylvania RAILROAD
company. based on an understanding
arrived at between II. o. Havermeyer
in behalf of the sugar trust. John B
Thayer, vice president OF the Penn
sylvania. and Lowell NJ. Palmer. A
rebate Of As cents on 100 pounds
was allowed Palmer under the guise
of litherage fses. He was supposed TO
lighter the sugar from the refiners 10
the Pennsylvania terminals at Jer-
sey City. but as a matter Of fact the
railroad. in order to secure the busi-
mess. did the work with its own
lighters.

Will CARTER
RESIGN?
IF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT REAP
POINTS JUDGE ROBINSON?-A
QUESTION DISCUSSED BY LOCAL
POLITICIANS.

"WiH Carter resign if Roosevelt re-
appoints Robinson?" was a question
that was debated today by sections of
the political science club that used to
meet at Martins. 1t was also debated
by others.
In fact the question is one that
seemed to have become quite popular
among those who talk politics and po-
litical possibilities.
1t is not known that it was discuss
ed either by Governor Carter, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, or Judge Robinson.
The discussion which the Carter
Robinson affair, with it's incidents of
Scotch whisky, and it's later incidents
of hot cables to the President, has Civ
en- rise to- seems to have been more
general than the discussion relating to
any other political incident for a very
long time. The discussion seems also

The Hamakua Ditch enterprise is
getting under way.
1t is expected that within a compar-
atively short time contracts will be
signed with each of the plantations
which is within the sphere of its in
huence," and when this is done the
work of financing will proceed and very
shortly the actual work of construction.
The Hamakua Ditch Company pro-
poses to take the waters from the Bish-
OPP Estate lands at the head of Waipio
Gulch, or rather, perhaps, from that
part of the watershed on the windward
side of the Kohala mountains which
lies to the eastward of the region tap
ped by the Kohala Ditch, and carry it
by suitable bitches to and above the
cane fields of Honokaa,. Pacific Sugar
Mill and Paauhau, to be used on these
plantations for irrigating and fuming,
There are other plantations to the
eastward which would be glad to have
the water, but it is not yet known that
there will be water enough to supply
them after supplying those already
mentioned.

Governor Carter said this morning in
answer to a question that he had not
yet made any recommendation to the
President of a successor to Circuit
Judge Robinson. He also stated that
he intended to do so, and it is pre-
sumed that a name will be cabled to
Washington before next Tuesday, when
the judges term expires. Just who
will be the man is a subject of con-
siderable speculation. There is some
talk of Carl Smith of Hilo and another
report has it that the position may be
offered to M. f. Prosser, the present
deputy attorney general.
As usual with the local judiciary
there will be an interval with no judge
at all, for it will be impossible, it is
said to get an appointee qualified for
some time. 1t is claimed that even the
reappointment of Judge Robinson
would not have prevented this, owing
to the fact that Congress is in session,
and a mere commission by the Presi-
dent would not be enough, as the term
absolutely expires on January 23 1t
might take some time to get the Senate
to act and some delay is regarded as
inevitable.
Judge Robinson is the presiding judge
at the present criminal term, and has
a large list of criminal cases on his

A Good
START
DELEGATES HELD A STAR CHAM
BER MEETING AND AGREED TO
BE HARMONIOUS.

According to the official report hand
ed out by Chairman Smith of the
Washington delegation Harmony, with
a capital H" is to be the watchword
in the descent now planned on the
National Capital.
This is what Chairman Smith said
and there is no reason to doubt that it
is correct though as the delegates
chose to meet in secret session no com
plete report of the prOcc edings can be
furnished.
The meeting was held in the Hawai-
ian Trust Company's offices with Chair
man Smith presiding. There were
present also Secretary Gait, Delegates
McInerny and Robinson of oahu, Loe-
bernstein of Hawaii and Case of Maui,
Kauai was not represented.
According to what was told after the
meeting, the outside delegates were in
formed of all that had been done and
were in perfect accord Herewith. After
a discussion along general lines, ipwas
unanimously decided that the delega-
tion should work as unit, that what
ever the majority decided upon should
be worked for Loyalty by the minority
after the decision had been made and
that there should be no minority re-
ports.
1t was further decided that the one
and only aim of the delegation should
be to obtain the three-quarters rebate
of the revenue derived here and that
there should be no side issues what
ever.
The meeting adjourned to meet at
nine o'clock tomorrow at Governor
Carter's offices for a consultation with
him.

poratlon is not fully known, and the
exact amount of water procurable can
only be determined with certainty by
actual demonstration.
A meeting was held yesterday at the
office of F. A. Schaefer & Co. between
the members of that firm and the rep
resentatives of the Ditch company at
which the subject of contracts was
talked over. F.. "A. Schaefer e. Co.
represented Honokaa Plantation and
Pacific Sugar Mill, prospective users, j.
T. McCrosson represented the Ditch
people. No final conclusions were ar
rived at, though there is every reason
to believe that negotiations were sub
stantially advanced. The contracts,
when made will be for a long period
of years.
The promoters of the ditch have al
ready completed a contract with Paau,
hau plantation. There is therefore ev-
erything to indicate a speedy conclu-
sion of agreement with Honokaa and
Pacific Sugar Mill
The Kohala Ditch is expected to be
completed by July l. If everything
goes well it may be expected that the
force now at work on Kohala Ditch
will be set to work on Hamakua Ditch
after that date
