A LAST INQUIRY
REGARDING LANDS

A resolution offered by Fernandez
was adopted I'm the House yesterday
requiring the Commissioner Of Public
Lands to furnish a statement I'm reply
to queries relative to the III of Pahoa,
IN the Ahupuaa of Waianae-kai. It
is stated in the preamble that in Aug
ust of 1910, a general application
signed by thirty eligible persons de-
sirous CT acquiring homesteads on
the land was fled that Immediately
after such filing of application individ-
ual afIidavits and applications were
also filed by nearly all the applicants;
that at the time Of said applications
| (both general and individually the said
tract was being held under general
lease by the Waianae Company and a
portion improved and under cultiva-
tino with sugar cane that a few days
prior to the foregoing another appli-
cation was filed by twenty eligible
persons largely employees of the COM
pany mentioned, forming the Pahoa
Settlement Association; that in Sep
TENDER the commissioner caused a
survey of the tract to be made since
plotted and mapped out, and that the
Government of the Territory is the
konohiki of the tract, 1t being for
merly crown land, and the water is
being enjoyed Jointly by the company
and the kuleana owners of the con
tiguous valleys. The queries are
these:
81. Which of the two applications
in his opinion, has complied with the
regulations of the Public Lands office
and the provisions of the recent lant
amendment (section 73) to the Or
ganic Act of said Territory of Ha
wall?
"2. What is the cause, or reasons
if any. of the delay in the opening o
; said tract to demonstrating purposes? ?

JIu JITSu In ICELAND

up to the present time" says
writer in the Strand, "Glima, the an
cient pastime and means of personal
defense in Iceland, has been jealous
ly guarded from all foreigners.
Indeed, the only occasion when
strangers were allowed to witness it
during the whole of the last century
was when it was displayed before
King Christian I of Denmark at Thing
wellir, when he visited Iceland in 1874
and even then only two men took part
the present Rev, Sigurour Gunnas-
son of Stykkisholm and Rev. Larus
Holdorsson of Reykjavlk,
'But times change and thus today,
even in far-away Iceland, where news
from the outside world is slow to
creep in, we have at last recognized
that no good purpose is being served
by still keeping secret our ancient
form of self-defense, the knowledge Of
which, valuable though it is in every
day life, must necessarily play second
fiddle in scientific warfare
ION that account, therefore, today
I feel no qualms in divulging the Sc
crets of this form of self-defense,
which has been practiced in Iceland
since 100, when my country was a
republic. It was not then limited to
the platform nor to any special occas-
ion, for throughout the land from the
country farm to the Althing (Parlia-
ment) it was a daily exercise in which
most men took part.
The essential idea of this Icelandic
form of self-defense is TO enable the
weaker to hold their own with the
stronger, and I am not exaggerating
when I say that If she will take the
trouble to learn some of the tricks
and bitches of China, even a woman
possessed of only ordinary strength
will be able to defend herself against
and overcome an opponent possessed
of far greater physical strength.

WAITING JUNGLE TOMS oABlNr.

WRITING JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"
Shortly ai'et visit 20 Boston,
where she heard. from an ex.slavo
thrilling story Of negro wrongs, Mrs
stowe was seated I'm her pew In the
college church az Brunswick, Me, dur.
ing the communion service. She was
alone with her children, her husband
having gone away to deliver a course
of lectures.
Suddenly, like the unrolling of a
picture scroll, the scene of the death
of Uncle Tom seemed to pass before
her. At the same time. writes her
son in McClure's, the words Of Jesus
were sounding in her ears: "Inasmuch
as we have done It unto one of the
least of these my brethren, We have
done it unto me-"
That Sunday afternoon she went to
the room, locked the door and wrote
out substantially as it appears in the
published editions the chapter called
"The Death of Uncle Tom" AS suffi-
cient paper was not at hand, she wrote
a large part of it in pencil on some
brown paper bags in which groceries
had been delivered.
In the evening she gathered her lit
tie family about her and read them
what she had written. Her two lit
tie boys of ten and twelve burst into
tears, sobbing out, ooh, mamma, slav-
cry is the most cruel thing in the
world" This was the beginning of
Uncle Toms Cabin" She was not
apparently conscious of what she had
done, nor did she Immediately consid-
er making use of the fragment she
had written.
Her mind was apparently so absorb
ed by pressing domestic duties that
what she had written was laid at one
side and for the time forgotten. She
did not even show it to her husband
on his return from his lecture trip
One day she found him dissolved in
tears over the bits of brown paper
bags on which she had written the
first words of uncle Toms Cabin
Largely at his suggestion she deter
mined to write a serial story, the
climax of which was to be the death
of Uncle Tom.
Neither Mrs. Stowe nor her husband
had the remotest idea of the power
and interest of the story that was be
ing written. Nor indeed did it daw1
upon either of them until after the
publication of the first edition in bool
form. Professor Stowe was a very
emotional man and was accustomed
to water his wife's literary efforts
quite literally with his tears; so the
fact that he had wept over the bits
of brown paper had for them no un
usual portent. AS to pecuniary gail
he often expressed the hope that sh,
would make money enough by tn,
story to buy a new silk dress.

CUSTOMS OF VARIOUS CITIES.

Here are a few things they do or
do not do in cities other than New
York.
In Columbus, Ohio, householders
must dampen ashes before the cans
are set out.
In Scranton, Pa, garbage cans must
be tightly covered and must be clean
and dry on the outside before they
are set out for collection.

the Commissioners met with wide
spread approval. This approval has
been strengthened by further consid-
Grafton of the terms of the agreement
in their particulars. The volume Of
support which has developed shows
that its broad national scope is fully
appreciated, and is responsive to the
popular will.
'"The House of Representatives of
the Sixty-first Congress, after the full
text of the agreement with all it's
details in regard to the different pro-
visions, had before it as they were be-
fore the American people, passed a bill
confirming the agreement as negotiat-
ed and as transmitted to Congress.
This measure failed of action in
the Senate. In my transmitting mes
sage of the 26th of January I fully
set forth the character of the agree
ment, and emphasized it's appropriat-
ness and necessity as a response to
the mutual needs of the people of the
two countries, as well as it's common
advantages ! now lay that message
and the reciprocity trade agreement
as part of the present message before
the Sixty-Second Congress, and again
invite earnest attention to the consid-
erations therein expressed.
II am constrained, in Difference to
popular sentiment and with a realiz-
ing sense of my duty to the great
mass of our people, whose welfare is
involved, to urge on your considera-
ton early action on this agreement.

of the two countries
bound themselves to use their utmost
efforts to bring about the tariff
changes provided for in the agree
ment by concurrent legislation in

not to acquiesce in relegation of ac-
tivity until the opening of the Con-
gress in December, but TO use my con-
prerogative and convoke

Tatt's Message Urging
Canadian Reciprocity

WASHINGTON, April 5.-President
Taft today transmitted to Congress a
message urging early action on the
reciprocity agreement with Canada.
He stated that he sent this message
in Difference to popular sentiment and
duty to the great masses of the Amer
lean people. The message follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: transmitted to the
Sixty-first Congress on. January 26th
last the text of the reciprocity trade
agreement which had been negotiated
under my direction by the Secretary
of State with the representatives OF
the Dominion of Canada.
This agreement was the consum-
nation of earnest effort, extending
over a period of nearly year, on the
part of the Governments to effect
trade arrangement which, supplement
ing as it did the amicable settlement
of various questions of a diplomatic
and political character that had been
reached, would mutually promote
commerce and would strengthen the
friendly relations now existing.
"The agreement in it's intent and in
the terms, was purely economic and
commercial. While the general SUB
ject was under discussion by the Com
felt assured that the
sentiments of the people of the Unit
ed States were such that they would
welcome a measure which would re-
suit in the increase of trade on both
sides of the boundary line, would open
up the reserve productive resources
of Canada to the great mass of our
own consumers on advantageous con
ditions, and at the same time offer
broader outlet for the excess product
of our farms and many of our indus
tries.
"Details regarding a negotiation OF
this kind necessarily could not be
made public while the conferences
were pending. When, however, the
full text Of the agreement, accompany
ing correspondence and date explain
Ing both its purpose and it's scope
became known to the people through
the message transmitted to Congress-

The last straw was when two per-
sons who had been living at the Young
hotel came on board accompanied by
a dog. The passengers then came to
the conclusion that the port officials
we're quarantining Honolulu against
them and not them against Honolulu.
The quarantine has now been lifted,

who lost chance to see the beauties
