to receive from the Attorney Generals

speaking to Mr.. Andrews about it, he
said that he was obliged to move for
dismissal and could not recognize his

in securing a pardon which would be
better for the defendant, as it was
very doubtful if my exceptions would
be sustained. This course was ac-

FOR
SMALL FARMS
RECLAMATION DIRECTOR NEW
ELL SAYS BIG EXPENDITURES
FOR IRRIGATION ARE WANTED.

Director Newell, of the United
States Reclamation Service, is appar-
emily quite enthusiastic over the de-
velopment of the resources of Hawaii,
from his statement made on return
ing from the Hawaii, Maui and Molo-
kai trips this morning. The richness
of the islands is one thing that has
impressed HIM as will be seen from
the interview:
"On the mainland we consider that
500 or $50 per acre to make arid land
fertile, but out here it has been prov
ed that 5000 or $500 can be spent and
the returns received from the land
will be corresponding:y large. There
are number of places which we saw
where irrigation may be used to great
advantage. OF course when 1t comes
to area, they are small as compared
to the tracts which we handle on the
mainland, and the cost of giving them
NhISl 10 ldl SC, DuJ Jllt DlS IGluIuS
which can be obtained here make it
worth while to spend more money.
On the island of Maui there appears
to be a very good chance to take wa
ter from the windward side Of the ISL
and around to the Kula section. where
they have been suffering so much of
late for lack of rain. On Hawaii the
most advantageous land opportunities
for irrigation appear to be through
the Kohala district particularly near
| Waimea. AS you know there have
been several large bitches built in that
section already, but there is still con-
siderable land left. On Molokai there
appears to be a chance to take water
from the high lands along south of
the Settlement and bring 1t to the sad
die which divides the island
There is another problem here to
be contended with, which is that of
transportation. Still this is a matter
which should regulate itself, for as
the people grow richer and are more
prosperous and numerous, the trans
pOrtation must be made better.
"We had a very pleasant trip and
enjoyed it all through and have been
very greatly impressed by the agricul-
tural possibilities of the Islands, espe-
cially with the addition of enough wa
ter"

John w. Cathcart was again attack
ed this morning, two new charges be-
ing brought against him. His an
swers in both cases puts a completely
new light upon the transactions des-
cribed from one side, in the morning
paper. The result will be still more
libel suits. Cathcart displayed old
documents this morning, covering
some of these matters, which appear
to show them as entirely different
from this mornings published accounts
which he says A. S. Humphreys sup
piled. In the matter of the Poppleton
case, the difference is most eXtraor-
dinary. The Advertiser, quoting
Humphreys, tells of Cathcart having
had 5000 of Poppletons money, collect
ed for Poppleton, which Cathcart re-
fused to dig up. Cathcart, showing
documentary evidence seeming to bear
out his statements, made the following
explanation:
%As to the Poppleton matter, in Fe-
bruary 1899, Mr.. Poppleton left for the
coast On the day he was to sail the
Collector of Customs. refused to issue
to him passport because of a protest
and claim filed against Mr.. Poppleton,
unless Mr.. Poppleton would put up a
bond for $3.50. Poppleton came to me,
prepared the bond, procured the sure
ties and filed it so that Mr.. Poppleton
secured his passport and left. Mr..
Poppleton deposited with me $3.50 to
secure the bondsman. At that time
Mr.. Poppleton was in the bankruptcy
court of the Republic, Mr.. McChesney
being his assignee in bankruptcy.
was to return to Poppleton the $3.50 as
soon as Mr.. Poppleton secured his dis
charge in bankruptcy That dis
charge was never procured.
Mr.. Poppleton wrote me about the
money; wrote him that if he would in
any way secure the sureties, l would
send the money, and finally in May
1900, Mr.. Humphreys, acting for the
Poppleton's forwarded to them a re-
ceipt, and on it's return here June 81,
1900, I paid the $3.50 to Humphreys,
Humphreys giving me also a written
guarantee to save the sureties harm
less.
"There was no proposition from
Humphreys to pay Poppleton and al
low me to pay it If at $25 a month,
but the whole sum $3.50 was paid direct
to Mr.. Humphreys. On securing the
sureties Mr.. Poppleton could have had
the money at any time.
''The Advertiser gets it's information
about the Chiffon matter, as well as
the Poppleton matter from Mr.. Hum

taken as the result of a motion filed

the will and that therefor her petition

Can an earthquake be felt approach

and a fall of snow? On the Riviera
in 1887 the horses laid their ears back
and gave every sign of u~neasiness. In
Chile the birds have been observed to
fly inland just before a CONFUSION. In
Talcahuano in 1885 all the dogs fed
from the city. These actions, of course,
as a scientist who has collected a val
liable list suggests, may be mere coin
cidences, for birds will fly inland and
kitten become nervous when no earth
quake is nigh. On the other hand, as
