Such is the tragic OF a pictur-
esque career But a few months ago
Father GapOn was an idol of the Rus
sian w0rkmen. Now he nerishes for
having betrayed them. On Friday last
the Advertiser published a dispatch re-
ceived by mail dated St. Petersburg.
April 20, saying:
The NovOe Eremya today prints a
ciTcumstantial story which tends to
confirm the reports that Father Gapon
has. been assassnated by revolution
lists. Father Gapon is reported to have
entered into relations with q group of
the fighting organization of the ter
rorists, and in order to test his loyalty
one of the leaders named Rulenberg,
under an alias, offered to betray the
secrets of the organization. Gapon.
according to the story, took the bait
and offe II - conduct the negotiations.
Rulenbe offered $4,000, but Gapon
finally a ed to accept S125G0. Gapon
went to Odarko, beyond the Finnish
frontier. to meet Rulenberg for con-
summation of the agreement. He has
not been seen since
This mornings cable confirms the
dire surn1ise. Accompanying the story
in the Advertiser was a striking pOr-
trait of Father Gapon. Another pic
ture of Father GaDon which appeared
in the Advertiser, was taken in the
United States. 1t was distracted from
a group photograph of delegates to

the 7. NJ. c. A., held in Boston in June
1901. taken while the group stood upon
Plymouth Rock. Father Gapon was "A
delegate to that great convention.
where, it is recorded. he spoke fault
less English in ringing voice" the
same report saying he possessed "A
most attractive personality"
In the Advertiser of April g. 1905,
there was a striking story written by
Father Gapon and illustrated, the title
being The Grand Duke Serge at
Heavens Gate" 1t described the Rus
sian grandee's repulse by St. Peter.
while the Russian workman was well
coined within the pearly gates, and

he should do to secure admittance but
that it might take him thousands if
not millions, of years to comply with
the conditions.
Father Gapon was arrested i'm st.

the revolution who, in the episodes at

war with Japan, led the strikers to

killed in the streets of St. Petersburg.

To MAKE HONOLULU
BIG TRADING C[HTER

A scheme for creating market in
San Francisco for Honolulu warehouse
merchandise is being worked among
some of the merchants and there seems
a likelihood that business enterprise
will take advantage of the opportunity
to send a cargo of goods to the Coast,
either to he sold in the usual way or
to be auctioned off to the people Of San
Francisco.
The matter has been given consider
able attention by some business men
who see an opportunity OF sending
some surplus lines of goods and doing
a little of the business which san Fran
cisco is bound to distribute all over
the country Some warehouses are
said to contain large stores os mer-
chandise which could be shipped away
from here without al all cutting into

Hawaii's yacht La Palon1a arrived
at San Francisco yesterday morning at
O'Clock with all on board safe and
well.
DR.. George Herbert received a cable
gram yesterday from Captain Clarence
w. Macfarlane of La Paloma, dated
from Tiburon, giving this glad tidings
The news was at once communicated to
Mrs. Macfarlane at the Peninsula, and
the information was the cause of re-
joicing among a number of the friends
of the Macfarlanes who were spending
the dav there.
La Paloma left Honolulu at D. m,
April IA, amid general enthusiasm
manifested from the old Wilder wharf
by a big crowd. The Hawaiian band
was present and numerous small craft
accompanied the yacht out of the har-
Dor, the Gladys remaining in company

Between Honolulu and San Francisco

sailing time was therefore twentyeight

La Paloma was sent from Honolulu tc
San Francisco by the Hawaii Yacht
Club as Hawaii s representative in the
transpacific yacht race, proposed to be
run from San Francisco, originally, to
Honolulu. just whether that race is to
come off, in view of the great disaster
to San Francisco, is a question, al
though the members of the local yacht
ing club are doing everything possible
to make it a 60, even if there are only
three entries.
Commodore Cooper, of the Hawaii
Yacht Club, departed for San Francisco
on the Alameda last Wednesday and
will be in San Francisco or Oakland on
Tuesday. He is empowered with full
authority to use his judgment as to
whether it will be wise to run the race
or declare it off. Being an enthusiastic

UNCLE SAM
WILL HELP
Jared G. Smith Expects
Considerable Aid =
to Hawaii.

. A number of important appropria-
tions for Hawaii will probably be Sc
cured at the present session of Con
gress, said Jared Smith yesterday, in
conversation as to the results to be ex-
pected from his Washington trip. "In
the first place it is very probable that
$4,000 will be set aside to supply the
Federal Experiment Station here with
an independent waterworks system,
which will leave that institution in a
sary without having to consider the
question of using up the supply of the
city in times of drouth. There would
be a reservoir put in on the hill above
the station from which plenteous sup
ply could be had at all times
s.On the mainland, under the provi-
sions of the Adams bill, the Federal
experiment. stations are 10 nave -.
added to their annual allowances and
further annual increase of $4,000 until
each station is receiving 100000 year.
The Secretary of Agriculture has prom
ised to try to have the provisions of
this bill extended to include the Homo
lulu station, and although this may not
be accomplished during the present
year there is every reason for thinking
that it will be IN the very near future,
SO that by 1911 the Hawaii station will
be receiving twice the annual allow
ance it now draws, or $4,000 in place
of $-5, 600, as at present.
' a recommendation has also gone to
Congress that a soil survey be made of
these Islands, the results Of which will
be most valuable to the diversified
farming industry. With chemical
knowledge of the soil the farmer will
be in a position to know what crops
are apt to succeed, what nourishment
in the way of fertilizers his land re
quires and what routine of crops is
requisite for the best results.
s. Most important to the coffee grow
ers, the grape grower and others who
are attempting to combat the various
insect pests and fungoid blights that
are playing havoc among the cultivated
growths in the Islands, will be the news
that the Bureau Of Plant Industry has
promised us the services of a plant
patholugist, who will come here next
summer to look over the Island plants
and study the various plant diseases,
ascertaining the manner in which these
can be eradicated.
"Milton Whitney, the head of the
Bureau of Soils, has promised to send a
tobacco expert to Hawaii this fall, pro
vided part of the expense be borne
here. The appropriation under which
this Bureau is working is not a large
one and the expense of sending an ex-
pert so far is beyond it.
81 have talked with George W.
Smith. president of the Merchants AS
sociation, regarding this,'' said Mr..
Smith, land he is of the opinion that
there can be no doubt of the co-opera-
ton of the various associations In
view of the Importance of this growing
a vote of money to help it on,
in so important matter as securing
the services of an expert, would doubt
less be cheerfully made. If the expert
comes, he will establish a tobacco
school at Hamakua, at which the best
methods of curing and sweating the
caves and making the product market
