make the trip before the commence
ment of his next regular lecture sea-
son and through the courtesy of the
Oceanic Steamship Company he was
enabled to come down by the last
alameda" Though only able to re-
main until the sailing of the Sierra"
Dr. Payne can fortunately make trip
to the Volcano of Kilauea and will
have time to very thoroughly photo
graph Honolulu and vicinity. Photo
graphs of other places of interest on
Kauai, Maui and Hawaii will be sup
piled by the Committee in order that
the Doctors collection of views OF
Hawaii may be complete. DR.. Payne

sure that the data he is securing will
enable him to offer to his audiences
on the Mainland the most interesting
lCture that he has ever delivered.

FOR PHILIPPINES
Retired General Declares Islands Have
Cost the United States Only
S25, 100000.

New York, Nov. 3O.-Lieutenant
General Henry c. Corbin retired. was
the principal speaker at the dinner of
the Ohio society at the Hotel Man
haitian last night. He discussed the
problem of the Philippine islands.
The American public has been given
the impression the Philippines would
prove a drawback to US he said.
Since their acquisition they have not
cost us cent beyond the first payment
of s2O,O00000 and the further expen-
dfture of $5,00000O for the introduction
of our educational methods and pay
ment of teachers salaries"
The general said opposition to hold
ing the islands come from those who
believed their rice and tobacco indus
tries would be menaced. whereas the
Philippines produced hardly enough
rice for home consumption. and the
tobacco is of the coarsest sort.

more valuable than any crop except
corn and are equal to one-third of the

twice as much as the cotton crop.

The committee denounced the sugges-
ton that Mr. Foraker be forced into
political oblivion and, to emphasize,
its confidence in him, pledged him
their support for both the senate and
the presidential nominations.
When the action of the committees
was announced, the-Taft men retorted

Washington, Nov. 30.-Another sen-
sation was added last night to the
presidential situation by the formal an
nolincement of Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker of Ohio that he is a candidate
for the republican nomination for the
presidency and will accept support to
that end.
Mr.. Foraker's announcement further
complicates an extremely complicated
political situation in the Buckeye
state. President Roosevelt and the
other friends of Secretary Taft had
hoped to obtain for him the unani-
nous Endorsement of Ohio This now
will be impossible, provided Senator
Foraker remains in the field until the
convention actually votes. The SEN
ators says he will not withdraw under
any circumstances and that his dec
laration means that he is genuinely
and honestly a candidate for the pres
idency.
The result of his action will be that
neither he nor Secretary Taft will have
a solid delegation behind his claims,
while the other aspirants will be
backed by delegations from their ma.
tive states instructed to give them
support.

SCANDAL ABOUNDS'
Declares Herr Bebel, Socialist
Leader, in German Address
in Reichstao.
OFFICIALS ARE BLAMED
Failure to- Uncover Alleged Rottenness-
Said to Be Due to Fear of Ex-
posure of Themselves.

7 Berlin, Nov. 30.--Herr Bebel, in an
address in the reichstag yesterday, re-
newed his charges against the ring Of
high officials involved in the army
scandal which recently was brought to
light by the suit for defamation of
character instituted by Count Won
Moltke against Maximilien Harden, the
editor.
: The guilty persons, he averred, were
to be found in the highest social cir
cles in the kingdom, including princes
of ruling houses. The failure of the
officials to investigate, he added, was
due to the fact they feared that the
victims, whose names are known.
would blurt out the names of the high
personages who were involved
Worse Than FrencI, Scandals.
The socialist leader asserted that
the vices revealed in the course of the
hearing of the Harden case were so
prevalent that if the police brought all
the guilty parties to clai scandal
eclipsing the Panama and the Dreyfus
revelations would break out.
A number of tragedies already have
resulted from this state of affairs, Herr
Babel concluded, and some officers
have committed suicide in order to es-
cape blackmaiIers.
General Won Binema, the minister of
war, admitted that Herr Babel was sub
stantially correct in his allegations in
the matter. The evils had increased
greatly in Berlin, the general declar,
ed, during the last few decades.
Exaggerated "MOre or Less,
when Herr Harden asserted, how
ever, that entire regiments were con-
taminated, he exaggerated more Or
less the minister said, but the fact
undoubtedly has been established that
our soldiers can with difficulty resist
the temptation which these low fel-
lows make possible. Nevertheless, |
am convinced that the orgies at the
-Atifer-Eiiia, as described by witness
at the Harden trial, were mythical. All
persons who should have had positive
knowledge of them know nothing

CAME OVER OREGON TRAIL
President Sees Oxen and Prairie
Schooner and Hears Plea.

Washington, Nov. 30 President
Roosevelt yesterday made an examina-
tion of Ezra Meeker's yoke of oxen
and prairie schooner, which has just
accomplished 5,O00-mile trip from the
state of Washington over the old Ore
gon trail.
Mr.. Meeker was introduced to the
president by Senator Pyles and Repre-
sentative Cushman of Washington. He
made plea to have the Oregon trail
made national highway.
The president listened to his plea
with interest, but suggested that If
done the project would have to be on
a commercial rather than sentimen-
tai basis.

that he will stick to his policy of "op-
position to executive encroachment
and dictation
The action of the committees, he
declares, is fiat rebuke to the sug-
gestion that a United States senator
is a mere agent to register the DEGREES
of somebody else.
One hot shot, aimed apparently at
Mr. Roosevelt, is that If the senator
ship sis to be degraded into a mere
agency, no self-respecting man can de-
sire to hold it,
Mr.. Foraker refers also to 'tstatu-
tory demands of management and sur
yeillance that are apparently framed

inals."

without unauthorized interference from
any. one.
Aim at President.
These last two statements aim too
directly to President Roesevelts
course to be subject to misinterpreta-
ton. There is another shot at the
president in the declaration that there
should be no toleration of the idea
that the federal constitution has be-
come, even in part, "a misfit and OBJ
solete''
Mr.. Taft's belief in tarfff revision is
met with statement by Mr.. Foraker
in opposition to tariff "tinkering" at
the present time.

just issued

he were minded to raid the high
financiers with his surplus funds he
could corner the stock market in Wall
street and La Sale street. With his
billions he could take the Illinois Cen
tral from Hartman and the Standard
Oil from Rockefeller.
The crop of 1907 has a greater
money value than any crop ever
known. 1t is worth 10 per cent more
than that of last year, and twice as
much as that of 1889.
Weather Worth s5O,0OO,OOO IA Day.
The fine fall weather. which city
people regarded without thought, made
the farmer rich. Secretary Wilson
says that every good day was worth
20,000,000 bushels of corn. 10000, 900
pounds of cotton, and the entire
wealth production of the farm was az
stake and was dependent upon a crop
growing season of sufficient length.
Every day of fine weather was worth
S50,000,O00 to the farmer and to the
nation.
With an agricultural production like
this, how can there be hard times in
the United States? The secretary
points ont that the miner cannot re-
store the mineral to the mine. With
the farmer it is different The primal

ever adding enormously to the coun-
try's wealth, capital, credit and well
fare.
OF, Grow Four-Fifths Here.
Corn is the chief of crops, and four
fifths Of the worlds production is
grown in the United States In value
the crop is above the high water mark
of 1906 and on the assumption that
the crop will be sold by farmers at an
average price not below the present
one. its value is estimated at $780,
00O.0 900.
Secretary Wilson points out that the
value of the corn crop of eight such
years as 1907 would pay for duplicat-
ing every mile of steam railroads in
the United States and pay for their
costly terminals, rolling stock and all
property. In Is years it would replace
the present banking power of this
country in banking capital, surplus. de-
posits and circulation, and in II years
i. would replace the banking power of
the world.
The hay crop comes second. with a
value of $660,000,0O0. and the cotton
crop third with an apparent value only
few millions less. The wheat crop
is 5k per cent above the average in
value, amounting to little more than
$506,000,000. During the last nine
years wealth was created on the farms
of this country to the fabulous amount
of $4,000, 100000.
