summary of the cotton situation the
Times Democrat today says:

tirming bullish crop expectations yester-
days cotton market improved on room
traders operations, conditions in the
spot market being just about as favor
able as any reasonable man might hope
for
On che whole there was the suspicion
of tendency making for higher spec
ulative level, but the talent has been
embarrassed too many times of late
through the display Of too mucn eager
ness IN the following up fresh false
clues and the definite trade effect was
practically nil. However the talent was

obstruction TO immediate bearish success
Is the splendid SteadinesS OF the SPOT

In the near future the barometer Of
raw cotton supply must begin 10 tell

gun TO DO so. Then in the event new
crop prospects are not over excellent

day afternoon that he would fmmed-
lately make deposits aggregating SIG. 0O0.-

the financial market
Against very strong influences Secre-
tary Shaw has stood out in refusal to

when prices were inflated by reckless
speculation. He has repeatedly de-
clared that so soon as he was convinced

Quired assistance he would do what Law

of the leading street car manufactur-

number of very strong outside fnan-

WHAT HAWAII
SHOULD PRODUCE
LAND COMMISSIONER PRATT RE-
CEIVEs AN INQUIRY FROM Blu.
REAU OF STATISTICS.

Land Commissioner Pratt has re-
ceived a letter from Washington MAX
ing inquiries about Hawaii's ability to
supply the United States with tropical
products. The letter is as follows:
Department of Commerce and labor,
Bureau of Statistics,
Washington, July 5, 1906.
Commissioner of Public Lands, Ho-
nolulu, Hawaii.
"Sir: This Bureau receives many
requests for information regarding
conditions in Hawaii, and I desire to
publish at some convenient time in the
near future a monograph on CONNER
cial conditions and possibilities in the
islands. This should include, of course,
statements of the available agricultural
and pastoral lands, the classes of
articles which can be produced on
the lands available, the method by
which such lands can be obtain
ed, and any other information of this
character.
81 am strongly impressed with the
belief that the troprcaA islands of the
United States should, in combination
with American capital, be able to pro-
duce a large part of the five hundred
million dollars worth OF tropical and
sub-tropical products now brought in
to the United>States from foreign coun-
tries, and if am right in this view,
want to bring the facts to the atten-
ton of the American public with the
hope of rendering it possible to divert
to our own islands ana the people
much of the money now necessarily
sent to other countries for these tro-
pical products for which there is such
large and growing demand in the
, United States.
"Our imports, as you doubtless know,
now include about fifty million dollars
worth of india rubber, annually. over
fifty million dollars worth raw silk,
about forty million dollars worth of
fbres, including hemp, jute and sisal,
+ seventy million dollars worth of coffee,
about ten million dollars worth of CO.
Goa, fifteen million dollars worth of
tea, and twenty million dollars worth
of tobacco, to say nothing of one hun
dred million dollars WORTH of sugar in
excess of that which we now obtain
from the islands.
IT should be glad to receive from
you any information which you can
conveniently supply which may prove
/ of service in the preparation of mon
/ ograph such as thar which I have in
mind, and should appreciate any CO.
operation which you may be able ia
1 give me-
| yours very truly,
| CSd) 90. p. AUSTIN,

MAUI POLITICS

KAHULUI Maui, July 25.-Precinct
elections of the Republican party held
throughout Maui last Friday and sat
urday evening were Tety quiet affairs
there being no special fights on in any
place, the matter being simply one OF
routine. Much the SAM, list of names
appear in all the precincts as were
there last election, and practically the
same hands will handle this election
as did last. The Home Rule-Democrats
have not appeared opeUNy in the field
as yet, and until they do it is hard to
size up just about how things will 60
1t Is expected however that more of a
fight will be made for sounty offices
than was put up last time, and the
County plums seems to be the chiei
aim of politicians here as elsewhere

SAYS ROOSEVELT
WILL RUN AGAIN
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS MAKES
DICTED BY SECRETARY.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Before sail
ing Saturday for London where he goes
as a delegate to the Interparliamen-
tary Congress, Representative John
Sharp Williams, minority leader in
the House, gave it as his opinion that
President Roosevelt would consent to
run again.
81 thing" said Williams, chat the
President is planning it so that he will
be forced to make the race. The Pre-
sdent rather reminds me of the old
lady of Saragossa who hung about ask
ing when the gentlemen were going to
begin kissing las she wanted to be
there"
The minority leader declared that
''W j. Bryan is the logical candidate
of the Democratic party
Williams did not say whether he in
tended to meet Bryan in Europe. He
denied a report that he had refused
to serve on the reception committee
which will welcome Bryan in New
York next month.
OYSTER BAY, July 15.-When the
interview of John Sharp Williams was
shown to Mr. Loeb, secretary to the
President, Mr.. Loeb said:
THE President meant exactly what
he said on the night of his election
that he would not be a candidate again
| for the office. That statement is ire
vocable."

THE DAM AUTHORIZBD

Representative Mahelona has made a
statement that the work of the Nuu-
anu dam was never authorized by the
legislature. There was an appropria-
ton of 100000, however, for the gem
eral improvement of the Honolulu
water supply, and Holloway, as well
as Representative Harris, states that
it was generally understood that this
was to Sc devoted in part to the dam
scheme.

WANTS A LITTLE PEACE.
Uncle Billie Pleads His Own Case and
 Is Released.

Columbus, Ga. May 9.-(Special.) J. Uncle Billie Collins has returned to his home in the mountains of Meriwether. in better humor with the federal authori- ties Once more arraigned on the charge of moonshinng, he said that he would have no lawyer but would plead his case himself In the recent years of Uncle Billes three-quarter of a century of ex- istence he has thoroughly familiarized himself with the appearance of the United States court room in Columbus.
 Judge Newman ordered nolle prosequi entered in the case for the reason that the indictment should have been consolidated with another case, in which he was found not guilty, and on the further ground of the defendants advanced age. Uncle Billie expresses the hope that the govern ment will not be overcome with curiosity during the next few months as to pry into his private affairs, as he says he wants little peace.
 The federal grand jury returned mo- bill in the case of Hiram W. Barksdale, a prominent planter of Box Springs, Talbot county, who was charged with obstructins a rural mail carrier. Much interest was felt in the case in Talbot county, as civil proceedings have been brought there to condemn for public uses the road through Barksdalc's land which is the cause of the trouble. Barksdale forbade the govern ment from using the road, saying it was a private road, and when E. l.. Nelson, q rural mail carrier. attempted to use it he met him with shot gun. Barksdale had previously tried to keep the public out of the road by piling brush in 1t.
