Plaid Petticoats.

Attractive workaday petticoats for
the women who are too. hard on silk
ones to subject them to daily trials
are made of mohair in pretty Scotch
plaid effects.
Most of them are rather somber,
except for thread of yellow which
may tighten the whole piece.
And lots of plaid silk petticoats are
being made up now to wear with fall
and winter suits. some of them made
to match the shirtwaist.

The ameer of Afghanistan has en-

stall electrical machinery in the fac
tories in the new town which he is
building, 80 miles north of Cabul. The

probably be moved there, and manu-
featuring industries started.

however, to believe that 1t was insur-

that no effort to prevent it would pre-

{, B, M'CLANAHAN ISSUES
An ADDRESS To VOTERS

To the Electors OF the County OF oahu:
have just returned from cam
paign trip to the Island OF Kauai and
must leave again today to tour Hawaii
Maui and Molokal, returning, as Elk
pect. to oahu on the eth of this month.
Under these circumstances | shall not
be able to address the voters person
ally in this county until late in the
campaign, and have therefore taken
the liberty to issue this short address
defining briefly my position in the
candidate for Delegate to Congress.
In my judgment the Intervention in
Cuba by the United States government
that has lust taken place completely
overshadows all other issues involved
in the election of the next Delegate
to Congress from Hawaii. The Presi-
dents recent declaration that Cuba
Will be given another chance" reveals
emphatically how very far the national
administration has progressed in its at
titude toward the question of annex
ing Cuba. 1t is in effect u declaration
that but one chance remains today to
check the annexation of Cuba, and
that chance, in the Presidents mind,
evidently depends upon the patriotism,
forbearance and wisdom of rival fac
tions in Cuba which thus far in their
history have only been distinguished
by a determination to rule or ruin
each other.
When we consider further what enor-
nous financial interests and what
skillful, determined and INSCRIPTIONS
agents of those interests stand ready
to keep these factions apart and to
destroy the remaining chance" it
should bring us to a speedy realization
that the hope that Cuba herself may
avoid annexation, rests upon a brittle
thread. and that the real hope of avoid
ing annexation lies with the large, in
telligent and influential interests with
in the United States that realize that
Cuban annexation means deadly
blow to them. The Democratic party
has signally entitled itself to be the
defender of those interests as against
the interests of those seeking annexa-
tion. That party in Congress- on the
eve of the war with Spain, compelled
