summated in the period since noon

PAPER FROM CANE
REFUSE IN SIGHT

Kuhlows, Germany's leading com
mercial journal says:
Practical tests are about to be made
in Eastern Cuba with new patent
ed process for the manufacture Of
paper from bagasse, the dry refuse
of sugar cane after the sugar has been
extracted. Machinery is used for the
separation Of the fiber from the pulp,
and the water is eliminated by evap-
Grafton, leaving the dry fiber and pulp
containing the solids and sucrose
from which sugar is made. The fiber
and pulp will be made up in bales
separately, and shipped 10 the United
States, where the sugar will be ex-
tracted by diffusion. 1t is claimed by
the new process the fiber is unin-
Jured, and can be used in making
high class paper at a considerably
smaller cost than is necessitated by
the use of other materials. and also
that the pulp is suitable for low
grade paper. It is stated also that
more sucrose can be obtained by the
new process than by any other meth
cd of extraction.

CONVENTION
CONTINUED From Page One.)

goods" Then they will know how to
vote for mayor. The rule would be
the reverse of the established proce-
dure, and will probably be voted down
if proposed. In the rules committee
this morning the usual procedure was
decided upon, nominations to begin
with the mayor and proceed down the
line until the legislative nominations
are reached.
The committee decided in favor of
adiourning until next week at this
stage of the game, so that legislative
nominations may be made after the
Territorial convention has adopted a
platform.
There is, however, a strong element
among the delegates in favor of going
ahead this afternoon and evening and
finishing the entire work of the con-
vention, legislative ticket and all. The
trading and dickering has become a
burden and a nuisance to most of them
and few days delay will only make
matters worse.
The method of voting was the main
cause of difference in the rules COM
mittee. Some of the members want
ed to follow the old plan of calling
each member of the convention indi-
vidually, and letting him case his Sc
cret ballot. Others favored balloting
by precincts, the precinct chairman to
announce the result. All agreed that
the ballot should be secret.
The usual rules as to pledges Of
candidates, etc, were agreed upon
without dissension.
The plan to vote on all the NUM-
cipal candidates at once, on one big
ballot, is being opposed on the ground
that it would probably upset all ar,
rangements as to distributions of the
nominations. The fourth district, un.
der this arrangement, it is claimed
would probably get more supervisors
than entitled to under the existing
agreements. For this reason, it is

SUGAR ESTATES
ARE WELL SOAKED

The entire north end of Oahu got a
good soaking yesterday afternoon and
last night. At Kahuku and Waialua
the bulk of the water came down in
the afternoon, although showers con-
tinued during the evening and it is
still showery today. At Oahu planta-
ton the rain kept up pretty well all
night and it has continued rainy to-
day.
Oahu seems to have gotten the most
of the downpour. In the period up to
the observation hour this morning one
and a half inches of water had fallen.
This is regarded as a very heavy rain
for that locality, particularly for this
season of the year. The bitches are
all full and the entire plantation has
received a thorough soaking.
Mr.. Pfotenhauer, of H. Hackfeld &
Company, was very much elated this
morning over the news Of the big
downpour. This soaking, coming at
this time, when the young cane is in
most need of water, is worth 100000
to Oahu plantation. 1t will easily
carry us through to the period when
rains are to be expected"
At Waialua the fall up to o'clock
last night had been sixty-six hundred
this of an inch. Manager Goodale,
who arrived in the city this morning,
stated that his bitches were all full
and the plantation had been pretty
thoroughly soaked. 1t had been rain
ing during the night and showers were
still recurring this morning, but the
fall had not been measured since the
time above stated.
At Eva the fall has been little
heavier than at Waialua. All of the
cane area received a thorough wet.

BUSINESS UNDER
NEW TARIFF LAW

In response to numerous requests
for statistics bearing on the subject,
the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has
prepared a statement covering the re-
cord of practically the first full year
under the present tariff law. The fig
ures given in this collection show the
total importations and the customs
collections for the twelve months
from August /, 1909, to July 81, 1910.
They thus include five days under the
operation of the Dingley tariff law,
inasmuch as the present law went in
to effect on the morning of August
6, 1909, but the inclusion of these DAYS
does not materially affect the show
ing, considered as an exhibition OF
the working of the Payne-Aldrich
law. The total imports for the
twelve months were valued at 81 ,562,-
621 ISL, of which $76S,O47,291. or
4915 per cent, entered free of duty.
The importations for the year were
larger than for any corresponding
period in the history Of the country's
import trade, and the value of those
entering free of duty was the greatest
ever shown in any corresponding
twelve months. The percentage
which free merchandise formed of
the total was larger than in any cor
responding year except 1897, the clos
ing year of the Wilson tariff, when
large quantities of merchandise then
on the free list were being imported
in anticipation of a change in the
tariff law; the years 1892, 1898 and
1894, under the Mckinley tariff,
when sugar was admitted free of du.
ty; and the year ending September
80. 1S41.
Customs receipts during the twelve
months covered by the statement
amounted to $327,S73,67z. This is a
larger total than in any corresponding
year except 1907, when the total was
$685., $3.50, $50. Comparing the imports
and the customs receipts for the
twelve months we find that there was
an average ad valorem rate on all
imports of 2O.9S per cent, while
the rate on dutiable imports only was
41.26 per cent. The average ad val
orem rate on all imports was lower
than in any corresponding period
during the last twenty years, except
the second year of the Wilson tariff
when the average was 2O.77 per cent
and the closing year of the Mckinley
tariff, when the average was 1911
per cent. The average ad valorem
rate on dutiable imports was lower
than in any corresponding period
of the last twenty years except 1896
when the average was S9.4S per cent
and 1895, when the average was Ais
per cent, both these years being UNI
der the Wilson law.

NEW CHINESE DOLLAR.

1t was recently reported by cable
that the Chinese government has is
sued a decree proposing the creation
of new unit of currency in the form
of silver dollar. Some particulars
of this currency decree have now been
received, and it appears that the new
unit will be indentical / nweight with
the Mexican silver dollar now cir
culating in Northern China. The au-
thorities at Pekin evidently mean to
abandon the tael, which had been
recommended by the last currency
decree of October, 1908. Subsidiary
silver coins of So %, and 10 cents.
are recommended, while cent
pieces are to be in nickel, with con-
per coins for 1 and 2 cents besides
1 and cent Cash. A leading au-
thority on Eastern coinage pointed
out, however, yesterday in Londor
that the issue of a Chinese govern.

this morning about two inches had

copious showers have required. The
rain is of immense value, as it will

huku is under water We have had
an excellent even rain and it will do
an immense amount of good. I do
not know just what the total fall has
been, but it has been very heavy. All
of our bitches are full and the planta-

C. Brewer & Company received a
very gratifying mail report from Kau
this morning. Weather conditions at
Pahala were ideal. The heavy rains
of few weeks ago had been followed
by frequent showers every day, which
had kept up to the present time. The
fall had been just sufficient to do the
most good. Hawaiian Agricultural
and Hutchinson are being greatly he
neftted by the exceedingly favorable
conditions.

it was decided that the streets would
be filled with people and accidents
might occur. so it was given out that
the exhibition would take place at the
High school building. The firemen,
made the run from headquarters and
placed the Bangor extension ladder on
the building in just minute and 40
seconds: they had one stream on the
building in minutes and 20 seconds
and six streams in minutes and so
