WILL LET UP.
Railroads Refuse to Handle Liquor
Into Dry Counties.

Waco, Texas, March THE rail-
road agents of the freight departments
of the roads here have received in
strnctions not to handle any more of
the whisky shipments which were
formerly sent over the roads into dry
precincts, pending the adjustment of
the legal battle which is going on in
the courts and the settlement of the
point as to whether the shipments
may continue.
The new law cuts out this manner
of shipments, but, as is well known.
the law has been fiercely assailed, and
the determination of the constitution
ality and regularity of the law will be
passed upon before the railroads will
issue any further instructions. Agents
meanwhile will refuse to handle these
packages into dry districts.
Formerly the bills of lading for the
packages were sent to the banks with
drafts attached, and the payment was
made at the bank, where the bill of
lading was secured and the package
then taken from the railroad; but this
is all at an end for the present, and, in
fact, until the law is finally and thor
oughly tested.

MAY REBUILD THE DAM.
Austin Will Vote Upon Proposition on
18th Of This Month.

Austin, Texas, March 7.-On the
18th of this month the people of Aus.
tin will be called upon to vote for or
against the rebuilding of the city dam
across the river and reinstating the
1000 horse power water and light
plant the city at one time owned, but
which was destroyed in a river flood
several years ago.
Now comes a company and pro-
poses to rebuild the dam and place
the city in possession of 1000 horse
power of service by turbine method,
the company guaranteeing in every
way not only the safety of the dam,
but to maintain the horse power des-
ignated or deduct a proportionate
amount from the annual payments,
which are $4,000 a year for a term
of forty years, at the expiration of
which time the city will own in fee
simple the dam property.
The city officials of Austin figure it
out as a good business proposition. as
they are now paying annually to
maintain the water and light plant,
based on the increased cost of fuel
for the present year, $50 900 for fuel,
added to which would be the wear and
tear Of machinery of $4,000 a year.
which with the increasing cost of fuel
and labor. etc, those favoring the
proposition figure out an annual ex-
penditure, including salaries connect
ed with the operation of the steam
plant of $112.6OO, and under the new
dam plan as only S94 200, making
saving of s1S,4OO a year and at the
same time accommodating a good dam.
OF course the proposition as pre-
sented by a partisan dam man. ac-
cording to the above figures, appears
to be a most logical ono. but it is prob
able those who oppose it have facts
and figures just the reverse. but there
is no getting away from the fact that
for power alone of less than half what
the dam pressure would give is cost
ing the city nearly as much a year. as
it would cost to build the dam and
own it on annual payments without
interest. 1t seems to be a pretty safe
prediction that the new deal will
carry. as a great many of the leading
citizens favor it and never overlook
a chance to tell you so.

Special to the Herald.
New York, March S.-Some of the
leading Democrats of New York are
discussing plans for a dinner or some
other form of testimonial in honor of
ex-President Grover Cleveland on the
occasion of his SEVENTEEN birthday.
Mr.. Cleveland will be 20 years old on
March IS. While that is not a great
age, it is much greater than many of
his predecessors in the presidency at
tanned In fact, only ten of the TWEEN
ty-two men who preceded Mr.. Cleve-
land lived as long as he has lived. 1t
is now twenty-five years since Mr..
Cleveland first assumed the burdens
of the White House Only five other
presidents lived so long after their in
augurations, and these were the two
Adamses. Jefferson. Madison, Van
Burenaz Fillmore. No president in
&augurated fffff-tAe past half century,
except Mr.. Cleveland, has survived
his Inauguration for more than sixteen
years, which was the record of Gen
eral Grant.
Mr.. Cleveland's devotion to fishing
and hunting and other outdoor enjoy
ments have kept him robust and
healthy, and he is far from being an
old man, as the term is usually under
stood. His abilities have shown not
the least signs of failure. In magazine
articles, in his lectures to the students
at Princeton and in his recent adj
dresses at public meetings and ban
quets, all of the old power and clear
ness of thought which characterized
his work in public office were to be
seen as plainly as ever

ENGINEERS ALL
RESUME WORK
PROGRESS OF THE ARRANGE
MENTs FOR ARBITRATION OF
WAGE DISPUTE

Attorneys Frank Thompson and II.
E. Cooper, and they are still to choose
a third, are respectively the peace con
ferees for the Marine ngineers and the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co.
This morning they held a brief pre-
liminary consultation as to methods to
be adopted in the arbitration of wage
differences between the engineers and
the steamship company, but have not
yet settled on the third member of the
arbitration board, nor are they likely
to pick a man before tomorrow.
All of the thirty-three engineers OF
the Inter-Island are back at work, in
Guiding the six men of the steamers
Niihau, Helene and W. G. Hall whose
designations had taken effect.
Peace reigns and all are leaving af-
fairs in the hands of the arbitration
board
1t is said that one of the chief cause
of the demands for increase is the
wide differences between wages receiv-
ed by the chief engineers and their as
sistants. Where chief is getting $1GO
per month, first assistant gets but sos
and does more actual work, though OF
course he has not the same RESPONSE
bility
1t is believed that the first assistants
VIII be raised from sos to $780, that
the second assistants will be advanced
from $50 and $95 to sos and $11O, and
that the chiefs of the big boats will re-
ceive no increase, while the chiefs OF
some Of the smaller boats may have So
or $40 tackled on.
Last nights steamers got away in
fine shape md today's boats are leav-
ing on time and without any kick.
Everybody is satisfied to abide by
whatever decision the arbitration
board may reach.

past six months or more, has been
settled and work was resumed yes
terday morning. The job was only
about half done at the time of the
difficulty, and there still remains un-
expended on the contract ovxer $500.
The hitch which stopped the work
was over the specifications, and GER
tain alterations made in them by the

tractor Lord claimed that right ~
way had not been secured over certain
distances over which the plans called
for the pipe to be laid, necessitating
when the plans were altered so as to
go around the disputed property, a

the contractor. This and other things

FRuIT TRADE POSSIBILITIES.

The extraordinary possibility of tine
development of the Hawaiian export
fruit trade may be in some measure
gagged by the fact that the port OF
Celba, on the north coast of Hondu-
ras, a town about one-siXth the size
of Honolulu, dispatches some twenty
steamers of tropical fruit monthly to
New Orleans and Mobile. The demon
stration which has lately been made
of the practicability of shipping pine
apples and other Hawaiian grown
fruits in good condition to Chicago,
has opened up the whole of the west
ern and middle States to our trade,
The extension of our export fruit
trade must follow as a matter OF
course, and during the next few years
this will rank as one of the most inn
portant factors in the development OF

MAY QUIT BUSINESS
CONTINUED from Page Fourl.

bearance of that kind is not usual in
such cases. Mr.. Schwerin states that
the causes of the loss in operation
which will drive the company from
the sea are: First, competition of sub
sidized rivals while this country gives
no subsidy; second, the exclusion OF
Chinese coolies now, probably, to be
followed by the exclusion of other
Asiatics; third, the Government reg
ulation preventing it from changing its
rates without thirty days notice while
it's foreign competitors may change
rates twenty time a day if necessary to
get business and give no notice at all.
LAS to the last count in the indict-
ment, we are OF the opinion that the
Pacific Mail has a genuine grievance
for which some remedy must be found.
If we desire to encourage American
shipping it is very stupid in us to
handicap it with restrictions which will
prevent it from getting any business
which it's foreign competitors desire.
AS to the threatened loss of it's immi
grant business, the company may as
well recognize the fact that if we can
have no communication with Asia ex-
cept at the cost of admitting Asiatic
coolies we will do without such COM
munication. No steamship line to the
Orient should hereafter be financed on
the assumption that any important re-
venue will be got from the transporta-
ton of coolies.
AS to the subsidies, they must be re-
cognized as essential to the mainten-
| ance of an American commercial deep
sea marine American ships paying
American wages to American sailors
and drawing no subsidy in excess of
mail contract arranged on business
| principles certainly cannot hold COM
| petitive trade against let'us say, sub
( sidized Japanese ships paying Japanese
wages to Japanese officers and crews.
| That needs no argument, for it is self
evident. 1t is as plain as a pike staff
! that the Hartman interests cannot af-
| ford to maintain the Pacific Mail
! steamers running to Asia except as
! feeders to the Hartman overland lines.
1t is to be expected that other ar
| rangements for exchange of business
will be effected and the Asiatic steam

it will pay is as well as it pays Ger
many to substitute not only American
ships going anywhere, but lines plying
to ports where American trade exists
or can probably be built up And un-
doubtedly the Pacific Mail line to Asia
is one Of the lines deserving Of subsidy
But also, in our opinion, the course
of the Pacific Mail itself has done more
than anything else to create sentiment
against subsidies In Western America
It has outraged local sentiment by
earnestly promoting AsIatic coolie i'm
migration, and 1t has given the lie tc
the pretense that the object of the
subsidy was to deveop a class o.
American seamen by regularly employ
ing Chinese and insisting that the
subsidy should be given without re
r quirement for American or even white
crews. We do not believe that an!
subsidy can be got on the conditions
which the Pacific Mail demands. When

At a conference held this forenoon be-
tween Fisher, Gleason, Falk and Chill

day before the coast team leaves for

players, and the whole thing is pau.
Fisher stated a little after two this
afternoon that his team would not play

to know, and if they do none will state
the cause of the sudden change OF
mind. Fisher seemed to be very much
elated over the game this morning
when he stated to a Star reporter that
everything had been arranged salts

AFTER AN
EDITOR
EX-GOVERNOR CARTER DOES MOI
LIKE THE FORM OF HIS " APOL-
OGY.'

When George r. Carter was Governor
of the Territory the newspapers were
like a thorn in his side; criticism, ne
did not like, but holding a public
position be had to take his medicine,
with little, or no opportunity to fight
back. But now, things are different;
Carter is a private citizen again, and,
an unauthorized report says that the
ex-governor does not intend to be
"bluffed' by newspapers.
Recently, The Maui News published
a story to the effect that Mr.. Carter
and a party of friends we're rounded
up on Molokai and forced to pay a
license, emitting them to shooting
rights. A. f. Judd, who was one Of
the party, pointed out that the story
lacked an important element-truth
He took his pen in hand and wrote to
the newspapers; his letter to the Ad-
vertiser closing in this strain:
Your article imputes to each Of the
said gentlemen a disregard for the law,
and that the license fees in question
were only paid under threat OF arrest
Statements like this are not read with
| pleasure by the gentlemen involved. l
ask you therefore, on their behalf, and
for myself as well, that you publish
in your paper this letter with stat
ment of apology from yourself.
Faithfully yours,
"ALBERT F. Judd"
Then our good friend Walter G.
sharpened his pencil and furnished the
following answer: MIR. Judd should
have addressed his letter to the Maui
News, from which the article was
copied and to which it was credited.
/ The Advertiser does not hold itself
responsible for quoted matter published
in good faith and bearing no marks
either of Misrepresentation or malice.
/ Under the circumstances it has no
apologies to make.-(Ed. AdX.)
The foregoing apology" added fuel
to the flames, and, now, it is stated
on good report that Garter has de-
! termined to make Editor Smith take
water" or suffer the consequences
whatever they may be. With bated
breath, the public will await the out
come of the feud
