SHIP SUBSIDY is keAIu DEFEATED.
House Refuses TO Reverse Its Action Of
Friday After Lengthy Night Debate.

Washington. May 23.-The House to-
day again wrestled with the subject
of mail subsidies to steamboat COM
panies, and once more recorded itself
against the proposition by the vote of
IDS to 154. The debate ran well into
tonight.
Having been overwhelmingly de-
feated yesterday, the conferees on the
postofiice appropriation bill today came
into the House with a new report.
agreeing with the Senate on everything
except the subsidy provision and that
relating to the systsm for weighing
the mails. The portion of the report
on which there was no dispute was
adopted unanimously, under an agree
meut to extend the time Of debate on
the subsidy question.
The Senate amendment changing the
standard of weighing the mails by re-
ducing the number of days during
which the weighing should be coducted
was showed under, "a to 186.
By reason of the action of the House
In rejecting these amendments, the bill
again went back to conference for the
third time, although the Senate al
ready had agreed to the report.
AS soon as the action of the House
was announced in the Senate, Senator
Penrose moved to recede from the re-
naming Senate amendments and dis
charge the conferees. The motion was
carried and the congressional work on
the bill thus completed. The effort is
to leave the mail subsidy provision out
of the bill and thus effectually dispose
of it for the present session.

Memorial Day.

The country is awakening to the fact
that the heroes of the Confederacy de-
serve to be honored, and there is no
time so fitting as the hundredth ami
versary of our noble President, Jeffer-
son Davis.
Tazewell has planned a splendid pro-
gram for June 3rd, and if every one will
come out at IL a. m. to Jeffersonville
cemetery and bring their dinner, they
will spend an entertaining day, and do
honor to the old veterans who are to be
decorated with their Crosses of Honor,
which they SO much deserve.
Everyone is requested to bring or
send flowers to decorate the graves of
the soldiers who are buried in Jeffer-
sonville cemetery.

ministrator Of Hall Richards VS., Richs

Dallas, Tex, May 25.-Four lives
are known to have been lost, more
than a million dollars worth of prop
erty destroyed, 1000 people made
homeless, telegraph and telephone
wires in and west of the city out of
commission, as a result of a record
rise and overflow of Trinity river last
night and today, making the greatest
volume of water ever known in this city.
The food at night-fall passed the record
made by the rise in 1866, fifty-two feet,
when business houses situated in what
is now a poorer residence section of
Dallas were swamped. That same sec
ton of the city tonight is under several
feet of water and thousands have lost
their household effects, while the resi-
dent section of North Dallas is cut off
from the business part of the city so
far as street car lines are concerned.
Only one line is operating to a part of
North Dallas. The water works plant
is out of commission, and the light plant
is swamped.

HAWAII AND BRYAN

More power to the Democrats of
Hawaii who are working for the
nomination of William j. Bryan.
. This candidate for Presidential
honors is one of at least two Demo-
Gratis who recognize that Hawaii is
on the map, and that the Pacific Is
the theater of the worlds future ac-
tivities. The other one is Hearst,
but he is so hard to locate these days
that his partizanship is more difficult
to describe than the Civic Fedora
ZIONIST whose organ tells him he has
been licked and doesn't know It.
Bryan is one of the men properly
classed as friendly to Hawaii, because
he understands the situation in the
Pacific by personal contact.
We have little fear that he will be
elected, but he is great man and

PUMPS FOR HUUANU

Contractor Whitehouse
Now Ready To Make
Dirt Fly

The dirt is going to fly from now
on at the Nuuanu dam. BY the
Manchuria yesterday Contractor
Whitehouse received three pumps.
one hydraulic giant and one of the
four engines which had been ordered
for the work
The three pumps are to be added
to the famous Rowland pump and are
to do the work which Rowland cx-
pected his one pump to do--raise the
water for the sluicing operation. The
arrival of the machinery at this time
was unexpected, being over two
weeks before the time they might
reasonably have been expected.
Superintendent Campbell is very
much pleased with the way the work
is progressing on the dam. Since the
signing of the new contract there
have been no more of the squabblcs
which delayed the construction of
the dam under the former admins
tration. Campbell stated when he
took Office that he expected to have
no trouble and would not have any
trouble. He seems to have known
what he was talking about.
II will take possibly thirty days TO
install the new machinery. After
that Whitehouse will be ready to de-
liver the 1900 cubic yards of earth
day which his contract calls for.

THE SUGAR MARKET.

Students of the sugar market have
in the present season the most inter-
esting situation that has been pre-
scented for years.
The shortage of raw sugars is in
tensely real.
The Cuban crop, that has always
set the pace for the American mar
ket, is going lower than the original
short-crop estimates. There is no
doubt of 1t, and one of the features
of the situation is that the private
advices from the island are more pes
simistic than the statements given
out in the public circulars more or
less identified with the interests of
raw-sugar buyers.

and has already been discounted, but

FREAR AS DELEGATE.

Should Governor Frear be dele
gate to the National Republican Con-
yention?
This is a fair question which many
people will hesitate to answer until
they know whether Governor Frear
Wishes to be a Delegate.
Under ordinary circumstances
there would seem to be no good rea-
son why the Governor should not
represent the Territory in the con-
vention. We doubt that he would
do harm.
The contest at Chicago will be so
sharp that his election or not might
well turn on the propriety of Fed
eral appointees getting into the
strife that bids fair to be bitter.
Aside from the proprieties, 1t
should be generally recognized that
the election of Governor Frear or
any other appointee of the President
as a member of an uninstructed del
egation would necessarily mean the
election of a delegate whose vote
would be given the Administration
cause first, last, and always.
If the Republican Territorial Con-
vention intends to give its moral sup
port to the candidate of the Admin
istration, send Frear-if he wants
to go.
The lletin confesses that Il
general sizing-up of the candidates
now before the country leads 1t to-
ward conclusion that the Territory
of Hawaii in the middle of the Pa
cific. could make many worse mis-
takes than to support the Admins
tration candidate for President.

1t is funny indeed to observe the
effort made to convince the Civic
Federationists that they were badly
beaten in the Republican primaries
of Saturday.
The story originated with the Civic

was then officially repudiated by the
Federation's official spokesman.
Now the inventor finds itself call

that the first fabrications must have

The Civic Federation officially de-
been defeated and its official organ
says they were.
Isn't that beautiful state of af-
fairs?
The political workers of the Re-
publican party who have borne the
brunt OF political battle while the
lazy-bones remained at home, don't
know that they.have defeated anyone
or hurt the feelings of the tender
hearted, but they are informed that
they are the wretched machine that
grinds good government to dust and
coin from the unsophisticated.
This is worse yet. ...

veloped from the very quiet and or

place in none of the recognized po-
litical families.
