FIG xxxII-HARvEsTING APPLE CROP
give full directions concerning time
and manner Of spraying. For apples
the first spraying should be given
about the time the first leaves burst
the buds, the second just before the
blossoms open and the third just be-
fore they fall. If necessary, a fourth
spraying may be given from ten to
twenty days after the third In late
July or early August another spraying
should be given for the second brood
Of the codling moth. The two most
important sprayings are just before
the blossoms open and just after they
fall.
Boxes are better than barrels for
marketing high class fruit, as the fruit
can be presented more attractively in
this way. here is an advantage in a
small package, too, as people viii often
buy a box / apples when they would
never Ehink OF buying barrel.

QUEENS LAWYER
WILL De BhLLOU
He Will Represent Her Before
the Court of Claims at the
National Capital.

Before the court of claims at Wash
ington. ex-Queen Lliuokalani' s claim
for a portion of the revenues from the
crown lands of Hawaii, after the over
throw of the monarchy in 1898, will be
presented early in the coming year,
and possibly by Judge S. NJ. Ballou of
the law firm of Kinney, Ballou, Pros
ser & Anderson.
The Queen is now en- route to Wash
ington, accompanied by her private
secretary, j. D. Aimoku. AS usual,
she will make an appeal to the federal
government for reimbursement, but
this time the claim will be presented
with all due formality, under legal
procedure. 1t is believed here That
the Queen has better chance for rec
ignition by this congress than by any
other, although the ultimatum has been
issued by cabinet heads that curtail-
ment of expenses and appropriations
must be made this coming year.
1t is believed that the Queen s
claim will be for a sum amounting to
about 100000. All congressman who
came here this year, as well as those
who were here two years ago as guests
of the Territory, are in favor of the
queens claim, and if presented in d
manner which will be reasonable, it is
believed that proper steps may be
taken to grant her request.

I'm DEFENSE Of
THE DELEGATE
A. G. M. Robertson States That
Kuhio Is Still Wanted at
Washington.
CRITICISM NOT tNOPPORTUNE
Calls the Present Row :" Tempest
in a Teapot" and of No
Importance.
CRITICISM NOT INoPP0RTUNE

Editor Advertiser:-When the last
congressional party was here the hope
was expressed, not only by the visitors
but by our business men and by Re-
publicans generally, that Kuhio would
again be the Republican nominee for
delegate to congress. When Kuhio fin
ally declared that he would be eandi-
date for the nomination next year the
announcement was hailed with much
satisfaction, and it was accepted as a
foregone conclusion that he would be
reelected. At that time The Adver-
tiser reported that "The announcement
has been received with great amount
of pleasure by Republicans, by the in
dependents among the business men
and by the citizens generally The
Advertiser in previous issue had said,
cit is to be hoped that Kuhio viii see
his way clear to make the announce
ment desired by his friends. The reiter-
ated advice of the visiting congressman
that Kuhio should be returned to Wash
ington to carry out the work he has so
successfully commenced has confirmed
the reports that have otherwise come
back from the Capital concerning the
Delegate and his work. This Territory
at this formative period needs Kuhio
at Washington. -
Now you say that Kuhio has "eut
the ties of party allegiance" and has
disassociated himself from the par
ty,' also that sfhe should be disciplin-
ed. -
The charge against Kuhio seems to
be that he has in reprehensible man
ner and at an inopportune time criti-
cized the land policy of the Republican
administration.
That the administration of the pub
lie lands of this Territory has long
been open to criticism could be easily
proven by reference to the files of The
Advertiser. and I venture to say that
Governor Frear, if he were here, would
readily eoncede it. I have not heard
anyone deny it. So far as any such
criticism is concerned Kuhio has voiced
nothing new, and his position in that
respect. as well as the Governor s, was
well known to all those who took part
in the conferences on the land bill over
(which the Governor presided. For Ku-
hio to forcibly remind the party that
something ought. if possible, be done
by way of remedying the situation be-
fore the next election, and to bring
the matter to public attention before
his departure for Washington, can not
Justly be said to be inopportune. Tt is
nonsense to contend that a Republican
leader can not criticize a Republican
administration without "disassociat-

OPPOSITION To

If the planters association are de-

that much opposition win probably de-

Mexico and Central America May
Be Formed Into One
Country.
WASHINGTON is NOT PLEASED
Southern Republics Are Said to
Be Ready to Join
Hands.
{By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, December ls.--It il
believed here that there is well-de-
veloped plan on foot looking toward
the consolidation of the Republic Of
Mexico with the various States of Cen.
trail America. The rumor seems TO
have strong foundation and is appar-
emily given credence in high offieia,
quarters.
The plan, so well-authentieated re-
port says, is to amalgamate the coun-
tries under the name of the United
States of Central America Mexico is
said to be committed to the proposal.
Such move would make Mexico the
dominant power in all Central Ameri-
can matters and would give that coun-
try immense influence. The plan does
not meet with the favor of high Off
Gals of the United States government.

RIVAL THRONES
IN THE CAPITOL
Conflicting Claims to Rulership
Causes RuCtion and Two
Courts Are Held.

Although the Territory didn't know
it, it yesterday faced one of the great
est crises in its history Only the kind
intervention of Fate saved its politl-
cal system from total destruction. 1t
all arose through Acting Governor
Mott-Smith developing an indisp0si-
ton.
When he left his Office yesterday
morning to return home and attempt
to recover his lost equilibrium, Claud-
JUS Fl. Mcbride, private secretary to a
prodigal Governor, understood that in
structions had been left which made
him the Acting Acting He
alleges that he was told by Mr.. Mott
Smith to take care of the office.
The real Acting Governor had no
sooner disappeared over the horizon
| when rival warwhoop sounded from
| the other side of the hall, and Acting
Acknowledgement Andrews stuck his
head out and surveyed the scenery.
| L aiiiiS " uAscoScI any SUBSTITUTE ioA
chief executive, he climbed up on
| what he considered his rights and rode
over to the Governor sanctuary.
There he discovered Mcbride in the
| softest chair, with his feet on pile
of correspondence and a chief execu-
tive cigar stuck in an aperture of his
| face at an angle of forty-fve degrees
with the horizontal.
| Andrews outraged feelings found
vent in a low growl which caused Nc
Brides back hair to bristle up and
| float on the trade winds that were
coming in through the open window.
With the whole force of his legal
trimming and the authority of his Office,
Andrews settled down to prove to the
secretary that according to every law
| of man and God he was the Acting
!, Governor pending the rearrival of Mr..
Mott-Smith, as in his capacity as attor.
| ney-general he was in line to the
throne by divine right. Mcbride, how.
| ever, requires more than law to de
| prive him of his rights, and quoted
Shakespeare and Mott-smith by the
yard, in which he made it appear that
somebody had given the attorney gen
eral a bum steer, and until the right
| full claimant came back he was going
| to hold the official lid.
Arbitration failing to result in any
thing definite, Andrews returned to his
| own sanctnm and opened rival court,
and so matters stood the entire after
noon. When interviewed late yester-
day as to the situation, Mr.. Mcbride
said:
eve are rivals. We are opening all
| the Governors mail and he is waiting
for something weighty to come up that
he can decide Nothing has as yet
come in, as Treasurer Conkling has not
vet turned in his resignation.
