STAND PAT
On REVENUE
Delegation Will! Have
No Other Work
on Hand.

The delegation to Washington has
agreed to stand pat for the one prop
osition which concerns the 75 per
cent revenue recommendation of Presi
dent Roosevelt in his message to Con-
gress.
That was about the net result of
yesterdays conference of the Oahu
delegation with Governor Carter.
The delegates decided that the best
policy is to agree on the soundest
arguments possible, obtaining the sem
timents of each member, and then con-
dense these to one single, strong argu-
ment and stand pat on that. This will
be done IN order that individual argu-
ments made in Washington shall be
exactly those made by the delegation
as a whole

final ideas as to the policy to be pur-
sued. Other matters concerning the
business details of the delegation will
be considered. The selection of chair
man will be made, and it is generally
conceded that w O. Smith will be
rendered this position. A secretary is
also to be selected, and a disposition
is to be made of the press agent prop
osition.
AS to the secretary, it may be that
some one will be selected who can act
tent to act also as a stenographer. In
some quarters it is thought that stem
ographic help taken along from Homo
lulu will be more competent and satis-
factory than help acquired in Wash
ington. 1t would give additional
strength to the delegation, and in the
long run would probably be cheaper.
1t is known that there will be con-
siderable clerical work, as the delega-
tion will undoubtedly appear before
many congressional committees.

SAMOAN ISLAND AFFAIRS.

TUTUILA, Samoa, Nov. 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has acknowledged
through the Secretary of State a let
ter forwarded through the governor
of Tutuila from Tuimanua, who was
king of the Manua division of Samoa
before the United States flag was
hoisted in Tutuila. Tuimanua express
ed his high appreciation of the admin
istration and justice of the United
States officials in Tutuila, and declar-
ed that the people were happier and
more prosperous under American rule
than formerly.
There is every evidence of content
among the Samoans, and this was
publicly expressed at the colonial
meeting held in October last, when
they announced that the people de-
sired to be under the Navy Depart
ment, rather than have civil govern
ment just now.

Anybody ambitious of life among the
clouds has a rare opportunity pre-
sented in the sale of Olinda by Land
Commissioner Pratt. The event is set
for Saturday, February 8, at the front
of the Judiciary building.
Olinda is the site of the halfway
house bearing that name on the route

ated at an elevation of 1000 feet and
the premises contain an area of seven
ty and a half acres.
Lately the trail has been put in good
order and must become increasingly
popular with tourists. The upset price
is s2sO0.
Commissioner Pratt divulges that
the $30, 900 offered by the Molokans is
really less than the price made for
the Government by the appraisers. He
says further that the Molokans de-
sirous of going to Kansas are min
ority of 81 families, or about 200 peo-
pie, in the colony at Los Angeles.
No answer has been received from
Col. Spalding on the latest PROPOSE
ton made to him regarding the Molo-

quested by J. B. Castle to go to Los

ing the arrangements for bringing the

DITCHES READY
FOR WAHIAWk DAM

Water will shortly be turned into
the great Wahiawa dam of the waia-
lua Agricultural Co. The end of the
year saw the completion of the mason
ry work, leaving nothing further to be
done but the stopping up of the tenn
porary tunnels used to carry off the
water during construction This oper-
alton may take about a month.
Then the water will be turned on
and the dam filled. There will be no
delay in this respect, contrary to
published report. Manager Goodale
stated last night that the bitches for
distributing the water over the cane
fields were all ready to receive the
water, and that as soon as the dam
was finished it would be filled.

"JACK" READY To co
TO AZORES ISLANDS

Secretary of the Territory A. L. c..
Atkinson has cabled his acceptance
from Washington, d. c., of the mission
to the Azores and Madeira islands in
the interests of the Territorial Board
of Immigration to secure Portuguese
settlers At the meeting of the board
held yesterday morning at $3.50 the
cable, which was received early in the
day, was presented by secretary j. 2.
Cooke. Mr.. Atkinson stated that he
had received his letter of instructions
and would proceed to carry out the
board s wishes at once.
Mr.. Cooke did not give out the full
text of the cable for publication. He
stated, however, that Mr.. Atkinson
would lose no time in proceeding to the
Azores Or Madeira, and if necessary he
would go to northern Italy to fully size
up the situation. Mr.. Cooke thought
that Mr.. Atkinson would return to Ho-
nolulu about April 1, at which time the
matter of a suitable person to take
charge of the work of getting the i'm
migrants started from the Azores or
Madeira would be taken up and settled.
It altogether probable that the pros
pective settlers will come here via the
new Tehuantepec Railway across the
isthmus of Mexico

Wharton. johnson was a bit cross

English very well, my wife told John
son what she said and he got very

seemed that he would not be able to
weather the shock. He managed to
brace himself, however, but he went
out of the house a broken man.

been arrested or why anyone should
have killed his little boy.
