IN BUSINESS CIRCLES

BY all odds the incident OF the
week having the most far.reaching
effect on the future business of the
Territory is the declaration Of pol
icy of the now Land Commission to
which, under the amended Organic
Act, all matters Of land transactions
must be referred before they become
effective.
This commission made II plain
that the honest eader. the bona fide
ome-seeker and home-maker. should
have first claim upon the land 1t
then wound up its session with
resolution, and the only resolution
of it's first deliberations, that full
publicity shall be given all land
transactions contemplated by the
Territorial land department. This
means, supposedly, that the Terri
torlal executive shall lay his full
land schemes before the people be-
fore he makes the final deals, In
stead OF doing as has been done In
many past nstances-carrying on
the plans and the negotiations in
Secret and then, when the deeds
have been passed. putting IL before
the people in a brief and somewhat
hazy statement.
Apparently this action of the
Land Commission will retain what
land now remains in the Territory
for the benefit of the small holder.
and presumably the terms of the
Organic Act are sufficiently rigid to
prevent the land gold to the small
homesteader passing into the hands
OF the large corporations.

drop in raws is not Known. Judg-
ing from previous Information from
NV York, however, II is very like
ily the result OF continued cold
weather through the States and a
consequent reduction in the demand
for refined. This, added to Cubahs
coming or Nhe market from storage,
would bring about this condition.
Bects have dropped. but the spec
u!ativc dealings in beets have such
powerful influence on the Euro
pean quotations that this slump may
well be credited to the monthly
cleanup on the part of the specu
lators. The last previous occasion
when bects dropped back to near
Ids, there was sharp return to
the higher prices until the highest
point of the season was reached. SO
far as local information is concern
ed. nothing has developed in the
European beet situation to make ua.
reasonable the challenge of the New
York broker who signified his will
ingness to wager that beets won d
touch les. In August.
Honolulu's information on the
market, however, comes by mail,
and we get the reasons for II about
ten days after the quotation. II Is
possible that the reaction is due to
the larger returns from Cuba and
the shipment OF refined TO Europe
to supply that market.

Sugar Price.

Sugar Price.
So far as immediate conditions are
concerned, the price OF sugar has,
of course, had the most direct In.
fiuence on the business atmosphere
of the community. Raw sugar un-
expectedly dropped below 4.25 dur
ing the week, and some of the peo-
pie in the market began to feel blue
notwithstanding the fact that at
sS3.4O per ton Hawaii's plantations
still gain splendid return on their
crop. and there Is no reason to be-
lieve that any of the contemplated
extra dividends will be reduced.

very successfully, the cotton plant

The returns from the carivonica
cotton. that seems to be the favor

happens. the cotton industry will
soon be in the advance guard of
profitable agricultural enterprises in

HIGH PRAISE FOR

New York, January 16.-(Special )-''But for Clifford Pinchot we would have no great national forest preserves as we now have, and it was President Roose- welt who started it. said Buffalo Bill Cody yesterday at a meeting of the Re- publican club, which was to have been addressed by Mr. Pinchot
 The former head of the United States forestry department did not get to the meeting and no definite explanation Of his failure to appear was given. Never theless his praises were sung by several others.
 I'm Teddy Roosevelt man and l hope his policies will be carried out, '. continued Cody. ''He is a quick thinker and quick actor, whether his subject be a rhino or a national forest

BLOODHOUNDS ARE
 AFTER BURGLARS

Cincinnati January 16-(special)- of 200 armed men, George White, negro, of North Erlanger, Ky, was taken before Mrs. Mary Hagan of Erlanger, Ky. yes terday at noon. She could not identify him as the man who assaulted and robbed her Friday night, and he was allowed to go. The dogs and the men than started in afresh.
 The posse got a tip from Roy Monroe a negro boy, that while coasting near Whites house about 1o:s0 Friday night, he saw a man with @ lantern run up the hill and disappear in the direction of Whites house. The dogs. which were secured from Lexington, lost the scent near Whites home.
 Mrs. Hagan fought desperately and gave in only when she realized her life was in danger She says the man who struck her had carpet sack over his head and a mask over part of his face. His chin was red, but she could not tell whether from the cold or paint. She says she can Identify him from the form of his chin and mouth.
 After she had been knocked down Mrs Hsgan pointed to the drawer where her purse lay and the burglars took the purse containing s20 and a gold watch. They fled from a shower of bullets fired by the plucky woman. The shots awoke the neighbors, men rushed into the street and at once organized a posse.
 There Is talk of lynching should the men be caught.

ELECTION RESULTS
 ARE DISCUSSED

London. January 16.-The only morning newspapers commenting on the election are the Observer, which is pioneer in advocating tariff reform and the bigger navy crusade, and the Sunday Times, which is a conservative organ.
 The Observer says:
 ''In circumstances of exceptional diffi- culty the unionists did we'll yesterday. They must strain every nerve to do still better tomorrow and throughout the next few days. Even if they did no more than break off, they win victory in the House of Commons by securing power fully reinforced party.
 That was one of the main objects aimed at"
 The Observer finds grounds for hope everywhere except Lancashire. where the socialist party is running away with the workingmen's party, and adds new life has been infused into the unionist party
 The Times takes gloomy view of the result. sIt is much too soon to abandon hope" says the newspaper, but So far results show that the unionist battle cries have not aroused any great enthusiasm with the bulk of electors. Even the trump card of a strong navy and the appeal to the patriotism of the people lost their potency when coupled with proposals to tax the food of the party

British Newspaper Man Says Il
 Is Big Victory for Liberals
AGAINST TARIFF REFORM
In Spite of Predictions to the Contrary, the City of London Returns Seven Liberals Out of
 Ten Members.
By WILLIAM T. STEAD.

London, January le-(Speeial )-The nrst days polling, as had been expected, is decisive. The liberal majority in the next parliament will be at least 200 may be 27O As far as results go it IS all over but the shouting.
 There were 57 liberal seats at stake yes terday morning and r conservatives. r the conservatives were to wipe out the liberal majority they ought to have won 2s liberal seats and kept all their own. AS it is they have lost four seats and only won Is. If they cannot do better than this at the subsequent pollings they will be in the minority by 200 when the polls close
 The significance of this disaster is only manifest when the result is examined in detail. The liberals held their own in the north. notably Lancashire. which Is the backbone of the free trade majority. They have won seats in Darlington and Grimsby. They have lost a seat at Staly- bridge, which usually voted conservative. It is only in the Lancashire seat where in the majority has not voted for the budget against the peers. Two liberal votes were thrown away by splitting the vote between the labor and liberal candi- dates in Manchester. The seat lost by Winston Churchill on the bye-election was recaptured.
 Every constituency in Manchester and Stafford cast heavy majority against tariff reform. The unionst success is confined to the Birmingham district and small boroughs in South England, where the influence of the saloonkeepers was strong.
 There is only one exception. that of the Davenport naval backyard, where the lib erals lost two seats.
 There is not time for me to completely analyze the vote cast, but it is not prob able that this would materially affect the forecast.
 London is supposed to be the weakest spot in the liberal line.
 Lord Rothschild predicted a month ago that not a single liberal would be re- turned in London. Today, out of ten seats the liberals retained seven. It is true the borough elections are not an infallible guide as to how the counties vote, but in 1885 when the boroughs went conservative the counties redressed the balance with such vengeance that the liberals had e majority of 172 in the next weeks pollings will be even bet ter for the liberals than they have been today.

New York, January 16.-(Special l. James A. Patten, the Chicago wheat and cotton speoulator, entered New York yes the gambling implements in the cotton exchange. advanced 80 points. equivalent to s4 bale in actual cotton.
 MT. Patten breakfasted with Eugene G. Scales, the cotton speculator from the south. who was reported to have lost $6.000.000 in the slump of cotton on Friday Following that he proceeded to his brokers office on South William street and for the two hours of business in the morning he was more active than bunch of hornets whose nest had been disturbed
 In that short space of time a new high record was established for the transac- tions Of the session. Never before in the history of the local cotton clique it was said had so much business been done in such a brief period.
 Those in a position to estimate the volume of trading declared that almost eoo.o0o bales of cotton, or rather op- tions calling for that quantity, changed hands inside of 120 minutes.
 In some quarters it was denied that this extraordinary activity with the corre- spending startling advance in quotations was due to the activity of Patten. Ger tain brokers affected to believe that it was the outcome of orders that had been delayed because of the storm and con- sequent damage to telegraph wires.
 MT. Patten. who is accredited with be- ing one of the so-called Big Four" consisting of W. P. Brown. E. G. Scales, F. Haynes and himself, who are sup posed to have lost heavily in the great slump of Friday, said yesterday that he was not at all worried over the condition of the market.
 ''It is fundamentally sound" he added, 'but man is foolish to attempt to keep up prices unless conditions war rant 1t.
 Personally. am in the same situation in respect to cotton today as I was in respect to wheat a year ago At that time the millers were all crying out against my belief in higher prices, but today if you notice, millers are all bulls. The spinners today are decrying the high prices of cotton, but when the next crop Is in predict that they will be in the same position as the millers are today and will all be bulls''
 MT. Scales, who was seen later, did not look like a man who had lost sSo0o.0o0 in an hour or two.
 .'It is all nonsense" he said, but I don't want to say anything at all about my private business transactions"
