CAUSES OF THE PRESENT SIT
UATION.

NEW YORK, November 4.-More
than 400 American girls have married
foreigners of noble families, and many
of them have taken big fortunes to
their European husbands. A French
journal, lie Petit Parsien, declares
that American girls who had married
abroad, mostly for foreign titles, had
carried with them to Europe the as
tonishing sum of 5000 100000 The
Paris writer did not associate this
rather startling statement with the
reports of tight money in America,
yet on this side of the Atlantic the
fact that hundreds of millions have
gone out of the country with title
hunters may well occasion a little
financial as well as social speculation.
Henry Clews, the veteran financier,
when asked for an opinion on this es-
innate, said: 81 think that the state
ment that $9OO,OOO,OOO of wealth has
been taken out of this country, or at
least that the ownership of this vast
amount of assets has been transferred
to aliens by the marriage of American
girls with foreigners, is conservative.
| Our tourists spend at least $l50,000, 900
of good American money abroad every
year, most of it foolishly.'

COMPANT5 NEW VESSEL

With a large picture of little Beat

Governor Frear, the Examiner pub
fishes the following account of the
launching of the Mauna Kea which
was christened by the girl mentioned:
"Saluted by many merchantmen and
tugboats the new steel steamer Mauna
Kea was launched promptly at 10
o'clock yesterday morning from the
Union Iron Works yard, taking the
water gracefully and gliding to an an
chorage in picturesque manner
Little Miss Beatrice Frear daugh-
ter of p. H. Frear naval architect for
the Union Iron Works, chrstened the
Mauna Kea with the customary bottle
of champagne, performing her part in
spirit that called forth a cheer from
the several hundred spectators
"The Mauna Kea is the fifth steamer
built by the Union Iron Works for the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany of Honolulu, and is the largest
of the five The new vessel is, too,
the fifth largest merchant steamer
constructed at the yards.
Her sister ships, built here, are the
Helene, Maui, Kaiulani and Likelike.
This latest addition to the fleet is
an oilburner, with sufficient tank cap
acity to carry all necessary oil for a
voyage from here to the islands. She
is 240 feet in length, 20 feet in breadth
| and is feet inches deep; has engines
| of 1900 horsepower, capable of giving
the steamer a speed of sixteen miles

The interior furnishings of the

! there are siXty-nine first-class state
rooms, all lighted by electricity, which
is used with great liberality all over
the steamer. Good cargo space is pro-
vided.
The date for the trial trip has not
been fixed but the work of completing
the vessel and getting her off for Ho-
nolulu will be hurried, the trade be-
tween the islands demanding more

70 PRESS DEMAND
FOR EXECUTIONS
CALIFORNIA EXPECTED TO RE-
SUME THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
JAPANESE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Califor-
MIA is preparing to insist upon the
complete exclusion Of Japanese at the
coming session of Congress. This in
formation leaked out today when it
was stated that Secretary Straus took
up the Japanese question at the last
Cabinet meeting, and explained that
the Japanese were slipping into the
United States via Canada and Mexico
despite the new immigration laws.
Word has reached W Washington that
there has been no diminution in the
ability Of the Japanese labor agents
to furnish laborers to Western rail-
roads, and Californians are asking
where does the limitless supply come
from. 1t is reported that many Japa-
nese who have enlisted to pass from
Canada to Mexico and vice versa
through the confines of the United
States have never reached their desti-
nation.
The California Congressman are ex-
pected to lay this situation before
Congress this winter with a request
for further legislation 1t is fully ex-
pected that their insistent demands
will be augmented by the fact that the
battleship fleet will be in the Pacific

TIE CONVENTION
FIGHT VERY KEEN
CHICAGO, ST. LOUIS. KANSAS CITY
AND BOSTON ARE CLOSE CON
TESTANTS FOR REPUBLICAN.

WASHINGTON oct 21.-So keen is
the competition between the cities
which are candidates for the next
national convention that the leading
rivals for the honor may kill themselv-
es off and a compromise city be chos-
en-.
The next convention will excel in
interest any held since 1880, and the
attendance promises to be much larg-
er than at any other previous gather
ing, notwithstanding the fact that ev-
erybody is expected to pay railroad
fare. The real fight for the conven-
ton is between Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City and Boston. Seattle, Den
YER Pittsburg and Atlantic City are
regarded as out of it, There has been
some correspondence between the ma
tional committee and the Commercial
club; or some other st. Paul organi-
cation, but it has been merely in the
form of inquiries and answers. The
city which wins out must put up a
certified check of at least $4,000.

have to guarantee that they can take
care of the proposition.

be held early, so as to avoid the warm
weather and it is quite likely that
the date selected will be some time
early in June

We used to look at waterfalls for their beauty and grandeur. Now we look at them for their usefulness in producing power. At least that is the way those who plan to make money out of the power look at them. That is the way they are looking at the cat aract of Victoria on the Zamhesi river in southern Africa. The Zambesi is fourth in rank among the mighty riv- CTS of Africa About seven hundred miles from its source 1t spreads out into what might be termed lake about six miles long and over a mile in width. This lake is studded with islands and the surface Is very smooth, the vegetation along the banks being perfectly mirrored in the placid water. Strange to say, the low CT end of this lake is marked not by shore line nor by the slightest nar- rowing of it's surface but by an abrupt fall beside which our much vaunted Niagara is a mere pygmy. It is an entire lake that takes the plunge, and not merely river. At Mi agara the river takes a plunge of 168 feet, but the zambesi falls sheer 400 feet The crest of Victoria Falls Is over a mile long-5,SoS feet, to be exaet-whereas the American Fall at Niagara measures only 1,O6O feet and the Horseshoe Fall Is only 1,23O feet across, or S,010 feet as measured along the curve.

When you can't have a thing it is at least small alleviator to know def initely why you can't. For instance, the good old New Orleans molasses that used to come up this way before the war, and which many who re- member it would like to have come up this way now.

As molasses is a by-product of sugar-making, the more virtue taken for sugar the less is left for molasses. In the process of making the sugar 1t is passed through sulphur fumes for the purpose of clarifying and whitening it. The molasses that runs off takes some of the sulphur from these fumes. It is still possible to get as good molasses as formerly if it comes from the open-kettle sugar. houses, but this now constitutes only small percentage of the total pro- duct
 Thus fades sweetness before "pro- gress." Fortunately progress favors light, of which there is q much bet ter supply than there was in the days of whale oil and genuine New Orleans molasses.
