TWO SHOTS FIRED TODAY
FROM FORT RUGER MORTARS

Two S24-pound projectiles were
fired from the twelve-inch mortars at
Fort Ruger this morning by Ordnance
Captain Waller in order to test the
1896 Model 2-gun carriages, only four
of which are in existence and are at
Ruger.
Hitherto, in target practice, a sixty
pound charge of powder has been
used to fire the big projectiles, but in
the present experiments it is intended
to test the carriages by using as much
as siXty-five-pound charge in the
big guns. This is a larger amount
than is used under any service, and
when the test is completed, it Will
have been proved that the 1896 Model
2-carriage is one of the most powerful
in existence.
Eight shots will constitute the test.
Two We're fired this morning, one at
1890 and the other fifteen minutes
later, but it is the intention of Cap
tain Waller to fire at least four TO-
morrow
Owing to the danger of an accident,
spectators will not be permitted to be
present at the firing, as in case the
carriage should not prove strong

A white-haired Hawaiian, L. Naho-
lowaa, has appealed to Sheriff Jarrett
for advice as to what to do in the
matter of 100 shares of Jewel Oil for
which he paid $40 two years ago, in
vesting all his little savings in the
stock.
The Jewel, Templor and Ventura
oil stocks were doomed locally by P.
e. H. Strauch two years ago. The
town was flooded with advertising lit
erature and Lionel Hart did a good
deal of the placing of the blocks OF
stock on which Strauch had secured
options.
The shares were, without exception,
sold at prices considerably higher than
those quoted in San Francisco and
this fact was commented on at the
time.
Thousands of shares were bought in
Honolulu in each Of the three compa-
nies and all are to all intents and pur-
poses Valueless today.

Jamison of the Arbuckle, and Post of
the National, refining companies.
Then the minority proceed to show
that an alliance exists between the
Democratic party and the Sugar Trust,
part of the evidence being found in
the chemical schedule, where bone
backbone of the principal items of
expense in refining sugar, but not
pound of bone black being used in
the beet sugar ildustry-is placed on
the free list On this line the minor
ity report says in part:
eve congratulate the Democratic
party on this new alliance which they
have formed They, the professed
party of the people, who proclaim
from the housetops that they guard
sacredly the rights of the masses,
now entered into an unholy alliance
which will destroy every particle of
competition in fixing the price Of one
of the necessities of life, and will
place within the hands of half dozen
people the opportunity to control, alb
solutely, the price of sugar. With
the same piece Of legislation they
would destroy s2OO,OOO,OOO of capital
invested in the United States and say
to more than 100000 American farm
ers and planters, you must not raise
beets or cane unless you do so at a
price that will deprive you of all
profit.
This proposed plan of legislation
reverses, absolutely, the policy of the
National government with its insular
possessions. It not only destroys the
domestic beet and cane industry in
the United States, but it strikes with
deadly force at the prosperity of Ha-
waii, Porto Rico, and the Philippines
At the same time it removes the pref
erential market which Cuba has in

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, March 9.-That the
widely heralded economy" scheme to
concentrate army posts is founded on
nothing more than personal opinion,
and is in fact against good public
policy and the we'll being of the mil
itary organization, was clearly shown
in the House during the discussion of
the bill to create Fort Ogelthorpse,
Ga, a brigade post. The discussion
on the Republican side was led by
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
who challenged the statement that
economy would result in the proposed
abandonment of present posts in the
Northwest and the concentration Of
large bodies of troops in few great
cities.
Citing the House to the army legis-
lation proposed by the present House
majority, Mr.. Mondell summarized
the entire plan to mean an attempt
to abandon government posts in the
Northwest to the value of about $780,
100000, in order to build new posts

PLANS UNDER CONSIDERATION
FOR FUTURE GREATER HILO"

There was an important conference
in Governor Frear's Office this morn
ing, and at it the matter of the laying
out of Greater Hilo" was taken up.
L, A. Thurston, Marston Campbell,
Surveyor Wall, the Governor and
Secretary Mott-Smith were present
The maps of the district near the
Hilo breakwater and Reeds Bay were
laid on a table, and for two hours
Mr.. Thurston, on behalf of the Hilo
Railroad Company, and the govern
ment officials, discussed the plans.
The Governor stated that much
headway was made this morning, and

in the South. He called attention to
the fact that it cost the govern
ment about $5,OOO,OOO to establish a
brigade post, and ridiculed the idea
of abandoning brigade posts already
created, on the plea Of economy, and
then commencing to build others less
favorably situated. Citing the Hay
amendment to the army appropria-
ton bill providing that no part of the
money should be expended on posts
in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah
and other Western states, Mr.. Mon
dell challenged the soundness of an
economy" method which would allow
$25,000,000 worth of up-to-date mill
tary property to go to rack and ruin,
and at the same time ask for $4,000,
900 to build another post, and other
sums for the purchase of large tract
in the South for military purposes.

presented with some new and weird
proposition of change of organization
or of housing the army" he said,

'Everytime we stay at home from

so desired and thought that he was
going to do it. He thought that Christ
would release himself as soon as he
was captured and thought that he

on the side. 1t was a little political
game, but a political game that went
wrong.

Minority Report
Pleads for Hawaiiii's
e.
Sugar Industry

BY this mornings mail the Star has
received from its Washington CORE
spondent, Mr.. Breckons, a copy of the
minority report of the House ways
and means committee on the sugar
tariff bill, regarding the nature of
which he cabled this paper on the 7th
instant.
In opening their report the minor
ity most earnestly and emphatically
protest against the passage" of the
bill, and wish to call attention to the
reasons for their nonconcurrence in
the views of it's friends, which reasons
are summarized in the first two para
graphs quoted above.
They proceed to discuss the state
ments of the chairman, that placing
sugar on the free list will reduce the
profits of the producers of domestic
beet and cane sugar, but will not
destroy the industry in the United
States, and will result in a saving to
the American people of S107 7,000,000;"
also, that the bill will have the effect
of reducing the price of sugar to the
consumer about L Il cents per pound"
They say that if placing sugar on
the free list will reduce the cost as
claimed by Mr. Underwood, it is very
evident from the official figures quoted
-Willett's on the average price of
granulated sugar for each year since
19C2-"that it will reduce the selling
price of sugar in the United States
far below the cost of producing beet
sugar in this country"
Discussing this proposition they say
that every refiner VINO appeared be-
fore the Hardwick committee advocat-
ed either a heavy reduction in the duty
on sugar or absolute free trade. They
admitted that such legislation would
increase their business and curtail or
destroy that of their competitors,
namely, the beet sugar industry" and

enough to stand the strain of the ex-
ira charge, it would be shattered to-
pieces and would then do a little
shattering on its own account.
In today's test a sixty-pound and a
sixty-three pound charge were used
respectively. The guns were fired at
an angle of fifty-fve degrees, attain
ing range of 12,2OO, the normal
range being 11,1OO yards.

The trouble started when Deputy
Assessor Neely was on the stand and

ministered yesterday afternoon by
Judge Dole to Attorney Olson.

The effect of Paul's communication
was rather startling to Carrie. She
