ARMY AND NAVY

army horses, now being seriously
considered by Quartermaster General
Aleshire and other army officials.
The plan is one presented by Homer
visit to Washington, who urged the
army officers to conduct an endur-
ance test for the various breeds of
horses, with a view to determining
what type is best suited for cavalry
mounts.
Mr.. Davenport is a horse enthusi-
asst and is said to own the finest
stable of Arabian horses in this coun-
try. He believes the Arabian the
best horse for cavalry purposes, and
has been trying to impress this view
on army officers He-has placed one
of his thoroughbreds at the disposal
of the department, and declares his
desire to pit his animals against any
other breed in an endurance test.
The plan is to arrange for an en-
durance race of $500 miles between
picked horses representative of the
Kentucky saddle horse, the Arabian
the thoroughbred and the mixed
blood raised in the high attitudes OF
the West. The race would be run
from some point in the East west
ward, in order to cover the various
conditions of road and altitude as
well as to try out the ability of the
horses to subsist on the different
kinds of feed en- route.
1t is believed that the western
raised horse with its superior wind
and endurance, as we'll as its ability
to adapt itself to almost any feed or
forage, would be able to prove its
superiority as an all-round cavalry
animal, 1t is we'll known that much
of the prejudice in army circles
against the western horse grows out
of the fact that the officers believe
the thoroughbred to be much more
showy-and prefer them because of
"grandstand" purposes. It is believed
that should the army undertake this
test, the Western animal will be able
to prove its superiority as an all
round cavalry mount, and Westerners
welcome the test.

EXCLUSION UNDER A NEW FORM

Governor Frear expects to receive
copies of the Dillingham; naturaliZa-
ton bill introduced last week into the
United States Senate, and until this
is received it cannot be known eX'
actly what the measure contains. The
Governor feels that Senator Dilling-
ham has intelligently considered Ha-
waits interests in drafting the bill,
and that his visit here two years ago,
and his later studies of the immigra'
ton situation here particularly we'll
fitted him for the important work.
It is understood that this bill has
been Endorsed by the leaders of both
Houses and by the President, and
that it's passage is practically as
sured, though probably not before
the next session of the present Con-
gress. II is also possible that some
amendments may be introduced be-
fore that time.
The bill as drafted makes persons
not subject to naturalization ineligi-
BILE to enter the United States. 1t
thus repeats the present Chinese ex-
clusion laws.
The standard of illiteracy is not
quite so severe as has generally been
understood here, and will make 1t cas-

Franklin Quoted.
Illustrating his point that the great
est cost of war is in the loss of the
best members of the race, who should
be the fathers of families, DR.. Jordan
referred to the fall of Rome and OF
Greece, as due to the Romans and
Grecians being killed off, and he
closed with a quotation from Benja-
min Franklin, to whom he referred as
the first philosopher to have seen
this truth: Wars are not paid for in

Resolutions offered.
Chairman Lewis called upon Gov
ernor Frear to present the resolutions
of the evening, and the governor made
a brief address, at the opening of
which he said that no other spot on
earth was so deeply concerned in the
peace movement as Hawaii. He re-
ferred with apIroval to a remark by
Dr.. Jordan as commencing Hawaii's
remarkable success in harmonizing the

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, August What
ship will be first to pass through the
Panama canal? This is one of the~big
questions now being discussed in
naval circles, and bids fair to occupy
increasing attention until the matter
is finally settled. One suggestion that
seems to meet with popular favor is
that the first ship to pass through the
newly made portal should be a vessel
whose history is haloed by sentiment,
followed by representative ships of
the nations of the world. Certain it
is that Uncle Sam will make it a
noteworthy event, and the naval
pageant will be one of the greatest in
history.
AS the completion of the big ditch
draws nearer the Navy Department is
bombarded with suggestions from
nearly every part of the country.

For over an hour last night DR..
David Starr Jordan held the attention
of large audience in the Opera
House. while he spoke on the subject
CT international Peace" The distin-
gushed visitor was greeted with APP
plause, and several of his telling
points in favor of peace brought re-
spouse from the audience. He gave
very impressive figures showing the
cost of war, both in money and life,
and argued also as to it's cost to fu-
ture generations by depriving the hui
man race of its bravest and best men.
The War Talk.
Discussing the late American-JaLan-
csc war talk, he said in part:
There is in every nation a very
powerful combination that exists for
the furnishing of implements of war
Krupp figures largely in ironworks in
Germany. That firm has ambassadors
in every court of Europe. They are
there for the purpose of bringing up
war scares. In the same way in Eng
land war scares are started whenever
it is necessary to build more ships.
Sometimes they are successful in max
ing large proportion fear that they
are about to be destroyed. We have
the same thing in the United States.
People say that the Japanese are go
ing to try to take Hawaii We hear
that Magdalena is about to be seized
by Japan for the purpose of taking
Santiago. An Englishman told me
that there were Japanese in every
town of the United States ready to
seize tunnels, ETC., when the signal
was given. l reminded my English
friend that there were Englishmen in
every town in the United States, per
haps trained field marshals, who were
ready to do the same thing, because
England has an alliance with Japan.
In our country there is absolutely
no possibility of a war with Japan

FIGURES FROM
THE TREASURER

Governor Frear yesterday received
details from Treasurer Conklin con-
corning the sale of Territorial secur-
tiles which took place several weeks
ago in New York. The popularity of
these Hawaiian bonds was evidently
greater than even was at first
thought. The total bids for the mil
lion and half issue was over seven
times this amount, or to be exact.
S10,676,000. The average of the ac-
cepted bids is 1O1.5SS and the interest
basis 1888 per cent.

Gates that the New York financial
houses which were all over hidden by
Boston and other cities, do not espe.

to be able to turn the bonds over TO

shows also that the inspectors have
ben exceedingly diligent. This is told
in Mr. Mott-Smith's own words as
follows:
The mosquito elimination force in
Honolulu made 1885 inspections, in
Guiding 1912 places of standing water
drained, cesspools oiled, 1852; vaults,
9722; water barrels, tubs and contain
ers overturned, 01,650; loads of tin
cans and rubbish removed 1862;
places where mosquito fish were dis
tributed, 1916; gallons of oil used,
17175, besides a number of other
matters"
At the meeting yesterday Mr.. Mott
Smith announced his resignation from
the Board, to take effect when his
successor is appointed. He also out
lined in a general way the policies and
plans for future permanent work which
have been decided upon in matter OF
retaining unsanitary low lands, and
the elimination OF mosquito breeding
places under the new law which makes
such places a common nuisance.

MICHIGAN BASEBALL TEAM

Michigan has a winning baseball team
