SCHOFIELD Will BOAST
TWO Regiments OF HORSE

Two regiments of Cavalry will be
Stationed on Oahu for about a month
next winter, when both the Fourth
and Fifth horse will be at Schofield
Barracks. The Fourth is scheduled
TO arrive in January. while the Fifth
will not say good-by to Hawaii until
the following month The incoming
troops will go under canvas until the
cavalry cantonment is vacated. Dur
ing this period Schofield will have five
regiments and auxiliary troops, and
will be veritable hive Of soldering.
The long expected orders for the
transfer of the Fifth came yesterday.
The Fourth, which will relieve it. is
now scattered among the small posts
of the Southwest, but this is not taken
to mean that the Fifth will necessar-
lily be exiled to the land of sand and
sagebrush. A portion of the regiment
will have had foureyear tour in the
tropics. and it is quite likely that the
Fifth will be given; one of the larger
Northern stations, in consequences
When the, Fourth arrives, command
of Schofeld Barracks will devolveb on
it's commander, Colonel Edgar e.

HENRI GLEWS SA Sf1EFEED0N0lI ; !,
]. :. !. RESULT VI[LsHElRbUSNESS

In his special letter of June %,
Henry Clews of New York makes The
following among other remarks on the
| financial situation:
Another week of apathy has been
passed on the Stock Exchange There
us however a much better undertone
! in course of development and if 10th
ing interferes the outlook is for IN
provement generally in the. business
situation
| Politics has now safely passed one
of the most critical stages. Rampant
radiealisIn has met with a necessary
setback 1t has been shown that neitn-
! er party can afford to take the
chances of nominating an extreme ly
radical candidate Apparently the
sober sense of the American people
is beginning to impress itself uptn
the politicians, and unless all signs
are false the country is tired of erratic
radicalism. While it wants progress
and reform it is weary of useless pui:
tical disturbance. The essential
wants Of the people have already
been made known. Republican or
Democratic platforms may contain
some startling proposals in order 10
entice as many votes as possible, but
prediction promises and post-election
performances rarely balance each
other Henceforth, therefoe, business
men will be able to pay less and less
attention to politics and more and
more to business. OF course startling
changes would necessarily have an
unsetting effect, but the political at
mosphere has been materially cl4rl-
fed during the past week, and there is
ample reason for growing confidence.
Much business has been deferred du"-
ing the last few months. New enter
prises have been pigeonholded and
merchants could not be expected to
stock up until they know better what
contingencies must be faced Many
business men are simply waiting Tor
the starting signal When this comes
we may look for gradual renewal Of
trade activity.
Railroad earnings are satisfactory,
thirty-five reads reporting for the ssfstt
week in June showing a gain, of 7 per
cent over last year. Bank clearings
showed a gain of 10 per cent for the
second weed in June, and this in spite
of limited speculation. Crop repots
are more encouraging it being wells
understood that the condition of the
leading crops has considerably I'M
proved since the Government report
on June |. Our foreign trade continues
in very fiattering conditions the total
exports for the eleye months of the
fiscal year amounting to S2,066,1ol, 3
600. an increase of $159. 100000 over
year ago. During the same period
our imports amounted to $1,522.00.-
600, of $l17, 100000 more than a year
ago.

Signs to Re Changed

The name Providence and Danielson is to be obliterated from the electric cars that have run over the road be- tween those two places since the line was first opened. A few months ago this line passed to the control of the Rhode Island company, and the words Rhode Island have been selected for the marking of the cars as fast as they can be repainted and redecorated, a work that is now going on, the cars also being renumbered. One of! the re- finished cars, the first to make It's ap- pearance in Danielson in new dress, is painted dark shade of green. Others of the cars of the road are now in the shops, and all will go there for the transformation planned for them.
 The name Danielson is now removed from lines of electrics running into town, whereas it was. used on all lines here when they were first built.

A Warning.

People should be careful at this time of year about throwing down lighted matches. Thelleaves and long grass are dry and easily ignited. There came near being serious fire on Oak Hill, Monday morning caused by a lighted match being thrown into the grass near the home of II. l.. Barrett Had not Mir. Barrett discovered the fire before 1t gained much headway the hill would have burned over and property destroyed. He subdued 1t after hard fight, and as he is afflicted with heart trouble, he was nearly ex- hausted when he finally put the fire out. Great care should be taken, and especially at this time of year, to pre- vent this needless trouble and loss.
