Negro Vote o Factor.

MeB1O VoI0 y GaCSoks
Four years ago nearly all of the 5000
colored voters in Indianapolis voted the
progressive ticket. This year It is esti-
mated that 1870 of them will vote the
republican ticket. although Senator
Taggart will get some Of this vote. be-
cause he is a popular hero with many
OF the negroes. When he was mayor OF
Inu u'anapo4is some years ago he bought
q large tract of land and converted It
into a park. which is patrohized mostly
by coloreo people This was one of the
things that gave him standing among
them.
There is little gound upon which the
their state ticket. The democratic
state ticket is weak in several spots
and is not calculated to gain favor with
the mass of voters. Besides. there IS
an inclination on the part of many tax
payers to hold the present democratic
state administration responsible for
the high tax rate that Is In existence
this year. This will affect the votes OF
q large number Of taxpayers, so 1t Is
said.
Both sides have been well supplied
with money with which to wage the
fight. It is said that not since 1896
have the republicans been so well sup
piled with funds as this year. 1t is re-
ported that the national committee has
sent more than 100000 into Indiana:

campaign committee sent in $4,000;
This makes a total of nearly 100000
from that source alone. In addition an
enormous amount of money has been
raied in Indiana The finance depart
ment of the state organization has done
wonderful work in shaking down the
republicans who were willing to con-
tribute. 1t is reported that the repub-
lican campaign in Indiana will cost
total of something like $500.000. with
out counting the campaign expenses of
county organizations and other local
affairs.

CARRANzALEADER
WANTS AMERICANS
TO LEAVE AT Once
ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirslsss.)

ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirelsss.)
WASHINGTON, April ll.-General
Gavira, commaIaant of the Carranza
garrison at Juarez, last night issued
formal statement declaring that the
Carranzistas are now prepared to
control the situation, including the
Villa feature, if the Americans will
leave the country"
This is the first official intimation
from any of the CaTranZista leaders,
of their evident desire to have the
American troops under General Per
shing leave Mexico at once, and has
silenced local officials who up to the
time of the receipt of that message
were declaring that Carranza and his
officers have been cooperating with
American troops.
Say Border Is Quiet
1t is true that late statement from
the war department announced that
the "border is quiet, and there is no
evidence of any intention on the part
OF the American commanders to with
draw from the field"
At the same time dispatches from
Columbus, New Mexico, announced
that american soldiers here are sleep
ing upon their arms, while heavy pat
rolls are guarding the streets of the
town. The gun racks are unlocked and
the rifles are ready for instant service.
Reports of contemplated bandits raids
upon the place are said to be the cause
of these extraordinary precautions. -
May Set Dead Line
The latest report is that a "dead
line has been set. presumably at the
suggestion of the Garranzistas, beyond
which the American column is not to
90 in pursuit of General villa. Both
Secretary Lansing and Secretary Baker
refused to comment on the story that
an agreement had teen reached to this
effect with CarrapZa.
1t is rumored that no surprise would
he OccasiOned If the CarranZistas
should soon set a date when they think
the Americans should withdraw, believ-
ing that the purpose of the expedition
has been accomplished in the defeat
and scattering of the Villa forces.
Villa Far South
General Villa is believed to have
succeeded in getting beyond Parral, ac-
cording to dispatches to FL Paso, and
10 be now two or three days ahead of
the Americans. Perhaps his destina-
tion is Durango, where he. will Join
1000 men under the Arrieta brothers.
General Garcia, Carranza com
'-'aUder. denied the story that a "dead
line" in the pursuit of Villa has been
agreed upon.

NEW WEINE GREAT -
FOR ISLANDS

This news positively is the, b%st the
Hawaiian Islands have Rad as to ship
ping in years. 1t comes at time when
all ocean news bad been unfavorable,
q continued reiteratiOn Of congestion
and Withdrawals Of vessels. Its i'm
portance canRHt he o ~erestimatel. Uni
versal rejoicing here is eerta n
The American flag will be Sc n again
on the Pacific, now missing except for
the China mailer China and stray
tramps.
The three fine vcssnls G lumbit, Ecu
ador and Venezuela, were purchased by
the Pacific Mail from the West Indian
Mail, the Dutch line, fer $ll0O,OO0
each. The first is of 344S tons, the sec
ond of 3jl7 tors aud the third of
3444 tons, virtually the same size.
Sales Annount ed In March
Announcement of their sale to the
Pacific Mail was made IL Amsterdam
the middle of March. Prior to that
time, however, San Francisco news
papers had stated they had been sold
to w. II. Grace & Co., which Is assDei-
ated with the American International
Corporation in the ownership of the
Pacific Mail, the two great firms hav-
ing bought the stock of the Southern
Pacific. Other reports were they had
been sold Morse

dam for San Francisco March IS, and
the Ecuador was to follow as soon as
she was reftted. The Columbia arrived
at Baltimore March IS from New York.
These vessels are not so large as the
hig Man hnria and Mongolia OF the old
Mail line, which were the greatest yes
sells in these seas except for the Hill
liner Minnesota The Manchuria and
Mongolia are of $3.50 tons net. Both
are in the Atlantic war trade.
Old Fleet Was Strong
In the old days the Mail had the big
sisters and the Korea, Siberia, China,
Persia and Nile, operating under a
joint schedule with the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha. The Big Four were sold to the
international Mercantile Marine, tho
Atlantic Transport line; the China is
under the China Mail flag, the Persia
under the r. X. X. flag, andl the Nile
continues to he used as q British trans
port somewhere in the Orient or Med,
iterranean.
Last sailing of a Mail vessel from
Honolulu was that of the Manchuria,
the largest Of the feet, September 29,
when she departed for San Francisco.
Last fall the Grace line and the new.
ly organized American International
bought =. NJ. stock of the Southern
Pacific, thus taking over the Panama
feet.
Resumption Foreshadowed
Recently the small Panama steamer
Pennsylvania was despatched to YokO-
hama direct from San Francisco, not
calling here, with general cargo. This
was taken as fOreshadowing a possible
resumption Of the old service, but it
was stated in San Francisco that the
sailing was an experiment.
ln-his present announcement the
hand Of the International corporation
can be seen plainly. Few companies of
recent years have been so significant as
this. On it's board are some of the
leading fnanciers of the States. 1t WAS

W. r. Grace 4 Co, partners with Il in
the Pacifc Nail, are too well known in
the steamship field to need comment.
They are one of the strongest American
companies, and are growing stronger
every day. In no field could American
trade be helped 50 greatly as by re-
establishing an United States merchant
marine in the Pacific, fact of which
the associated companies were aware.
Besides, the trade is very profitable,
and will be stable when the bottom has

How Islands win Benefit ..... .tFt' .'
Immediate benefit TO the Islands will
be in aiding to relieve congestion of
freight in the Orient, which has in
creased so that great difficulty Is being
experienced in getting merchandise,
Gunnies and Japanese and Chinese
goods in particular should move much
more easily now. There should be
plenty of freight offering to San Fran:
cisco from Honolulu, although the vesr
sells probably will be able TO bring
little here from the Coast, as they
would fill with through cargo for the
Far East. ..

measure, so as TO keep the feet intact.
1t was to be operated Jointly by Grace
and the International. The Information

fleet. F..'.>'
Within a day or two, now, discus
sion will begin as to the retirement Of
the Pacific Mail last year, because Of
the Seamen s act, as IL was stated by
the company. In view of the re-eri.
trance into the overseas trade by the
reorganized company the question Is
certain to be opened. 90. .E..' ~.
Honolulu can afford to smile and let
the sea lawyers talk. The Pacific Mail
is coming back.
That the Pacific Mail would resume
operations out of San Francisco on an
even larger scale than before its TEN.
! pOrary withdrawal was indicated by
the rapid rise early in March in the
shares of the company. On the New
York Stock Exchange the shares were
quoted at Is, 26 and 26Is, and 29Es
within a few days.
Further Purchases Reported
The general advance in the shares
of the company was accompanied by ru,
mors of the further purchases of ships
and even greater financing than has
been announced, which might possibly
carry rights to the stockholders.
| The general advance in the price Of
Pacific Mail stock revealed pretty bit
