Governor Frear, the Land Office has
prepared advertisements for the sale
Of a strip of sandy beach land on the
west coast of Kauai for the growing

lots of about 500 acres as announced
some days ago in The Star and an up
set price of from 5000 to 5000 each
has been fixed. The sale is conditional
upon the planting each year of 75,OOO
sisal plants, distributed 1000 to the
acre, and at the end of years to have

TERRITORIAL FINANCES.

Secretary Mott-Smith is making a
careful analytical study Of the rev.
enues and expenditures of the Terri
tory with a view of learning exactly
how the finances of the government
stand with reference to the various
appropriations. This will aid in con-
serving the funds and serve as a guide
to future outlays. 1t will also give a
comparison with former years. The
Secretary has already sent to the Tax
Commission, on request, detailed
statement Of receipts and expenditures
for the past six years. A further state
ment soon to be made will show the
proportion of receipts from licenses,
taxes and fines, and their apportion-
ment to the expenses Of the govern
ment.

President Roosevelt's reply to Presi-
dent Penna:
Il think you for the kind message
which you were so good as to send me
upon the arrival of the American meet
at Rio. 1t has given me, and will give
to the American people, the liveliest
satisfaction. We are all very sensible
of the courtesy and distinguished hos

officers and sailors. The war ships OF
America exist for no other purpose
than to protect peace against possible
aggression and justice against posi-

not men-of-war, but are messengers

Prevails.

Frankfort, KY, March 1S.-(Spe-
cial. Mot only did the amendment
to the second class city charter pro-
yiding for a maximum license of
$500, pass the house, as exclusively
announced in The Sun yesterday, but
the measure repeating the minimum
police provision was passed and both
are now laws, having been signed by
Governor Wilson this morning Per-
haps the happiest man in Frankfort
this morning was Mayor James p
Smith, of Paducah, who left for his
home after seeing the ink dried on
the governors signature.
The saloon license law fixes the
minimum at 500 and the maximum
at $500. The present license can be
changed before the July payment for
the second half Of the year.
The police bill repeats the provision
for minimum of 80 policemen and
provides for civil service features.
The city can now have one or as many
more policemen as the council deems
necessary, but the policemen can not
be removed except after trial on writ
ten charges, under rules of the board.
Appeal lies from the order of the
board to the circuit court.

STRIKES FREIGHT
CARS Injuries

Four cars, which broke from "A

miles down the main track of the ILL
nois Central, almost caused a disast-
rous wreck last night when fast pas
|senger train No. 1904. due to arrive in
Paducah from Memphis at 1850 a. m,
ran into them at liza between Dy-
|ersburg and Fulkes. Tenn. But for the
fact that the cars were discovered by
Engineer Lee Eaker and Fireman E.
r. Morrison, both of Paducah, in time
to apply the emergency brakes, the
train would have ben wrecked and
hundreds of lives lost, as the train
Was well crowded with passengers.
Both enginemen staid in the cab un-
til everything possible had been done
to prevent a collision, and then
sought safety by jumping. Fireman
Morrison was badly bruised and was
forced to abandon his run when an
other engine was secured and came on
to Paducah in the sleeper. He was
able to be out on the street this after
noon.
Engine No. 2036, which was pulling
the passenger was torn up. striking
the loaded cars while going about 20
miles an hour. The presence of the
cars standing on the main track away
from any station without any one in
charge is unaccounted for unless they
got away from freight train near
, Dyersburg ard rolled down the track
iunnoticed.
The accident caused the train, which
is due to arrive at Paducah at l: 40
la. m, to be delayed until 1880. A
crew OF car repairers from the shops
was sent out to repair broken beam
on one of the sleepers.
The damaged engine win be
