every anniversary of the natal day Of
the late jovial monarch.
Prince Cupid himself manipulated
the biggest miniature yacht of the fleet

modelled and built by Frank Kruger,

Conversing about his approaching
trip to washington, on which he will
leave tomorrow morning in the steam

There are not so many things to do
on this occasion as on some of my
former visits to Washington. We
have been getting number of things
settled up.
"In New York l will endeavor to
see Mr.. Carnegie on the library build
ing question. / have other matters
of business to do in New York. Prob
ably l shall have some talks with
our bond attorneys and our fiscal
agents with reference to refunding
bonds during the coming year. shall
talk that matter over in Washington
too, but probably not so much about
refunding there as in New York.
"There are a number Of subjects to
discuss with different government Off

to get into touch with.

Mr.. Conkling writes me that Mr.
Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, is
very much interested in Hawaii Yes,
perhaps he will come here next sum-
mer, when he intends to visit Alaska.
I shall probably urge him to come if
he can.
81 will want to go over the proposed
amendments to the Organic Act with
him and some of them with other Off
cials. Not unlikely Mr.. Ballinger
will be asked by the committees to
give information on the amendments.
Probably will be able to get lot
of my data into good shape in the
steamer going up, as am taking the
necessary papers along with me.
"Yes, am having a rushing time to
clean up things before leaving, and
of course others are coming in to get
things cleaned up. This morning I
called on the Japanese warshlp, IN
company with Secretary Mott-Smith
and Col. Jones.''

Owing to delay on the part of mem
bers in assembling, it was nearly two
o'clock when chairman Pfotenhauer
raped for order.
The discussion which was on at the
call of the noon recess was resumed,
that part relating to cane-loading be-
ing taken up. The discussion took
the form of short, verbal reports on
how the work was carried on on diff
ferent plantations. For instances, Mr..
Renton explained his system at Eva,
and Messrs. Bibb, Watt, Meyer and
others their respective schemes. In
each case the system had been ad-
justed to fit peculiar circumstances, the
reports amounting more to individual
plantation detail than else, disclosing
no set plan Of general application or
concern. Mr.. Meyer spoke at greatest
length, his plantation having gulches
and steep landings, necessitating the
use of extensive cable appliances and
machinery for unloading and trans
porting cane.
Mr.. Ross, of Honolulu plantation,
told of his system of burning before
cutting and also ot fuming cane from
the higher levels to the cars.
At the request of Mr. G. G. Kennedy,
Mr.. Goodale described new system at
Waialua of fiuming cane to and upon
the cars. The fumes were five in
number and although the fiuming had
been successful, it had proved more
expensive tnan was hoped for the
scheme in future. Mr. Glib stated that
Honokaa and Paauhau both had a
similar plan.
The report was accepted, ordered filed
and printed.
Manager w. w. Goodale here read
an extensive report on new methods
of manufacture OF sugar and the uti-
lization of waste products.
At press hour this interesting paper
is being discussed.

conspicuous on the strong side of the
