The Lurline brought big cargo of
cement and had five autos for local
dealers. There were also thirty.four
mules consigned to Schuman.
Among the passengers was Billy
Wood, turnkey of the Oahu prison, who
returned with prisoner, Tin Soon, who

away on the Sierra, aboard of which
he was apprehended by wireless. Billy

PHILIPPINES SHORT.

The estimated sugar crop of NegrOs
is more than 10000 tons below that of
last year, according to crop reports re-
ceived by Manila firms.
The decrease in the present year IS
output is in part accounted for by the
prevailing bad weather during the
early part of the season, when many
young plants were damaged.
Despite the shortage in output, the
increase in price over that of last year
will about balance accounts, bringing
values up to that of last year, and in
many cases prices received will exceed
the returns from the crop of 1909.
The estimate for 1910 is 10000 tons
as against 100000 tons for last year.

WORKING AWAY
ON SHIP SUBSIDY.
Predicted That Democrats Will
Pass the Bill if They Gain
Control.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-If the Re
publicans lose the next national house
of representatives, in the opinion of
many weatherwse political observers,
ship subsidy bill may be passed al
the short session of congress. There
has been a good deal of quiet, unofficial
talk "On the side' since the adjourn
ment of congress, and men who had
followed the subsidy inquiry of the past
Session with attention have gone over
the ground in detail. While they ad-
nit that the subsidy cause IS now ut.
terly discredited among the serious men
in congress, they believe that an in
crease in mail pay along the lines of the
Humphrey bin might be put through
merely for the purpose of placating the
subsidy boomers if there were nothing
to be lost by it. If the next congress
should turn out Republican, it is not
likely the measure could be forced
through But if it should turn out to
be Democratic, the result might be diff
ferent.
The result of the investigation in
congress has been to irritate the sub
sidy men very profoundly, as they had
apparently thought they could never be
called to account for statements like
those they put before the country with
ont warrant in such publications as the
American Fldg The irritation has
been expressed to the leaders and com
plant has been made that the oppo
uents of subsidies seem TO be having
their own way and are succeeding IL
discrediting the subsidy movement
The argument has been mada, there

: something. Leaders, it is understood
have recognized the foundation for thi
/ view, but they have not found it tn
easier to overcome the difficulties II
{ the situation. Many, il is said, hav'
been impressed with the necessity o
doing something" TO placate the irri
, tated subsidy men and prevent then
from assuming a disgruntled point o
view, which would be very bad politi
cally. 1t has, however, been understood
that, with the opposition to the sub
sidy movement 80 strong as il is in tn

be folly to try to dragon members int
