HONOLULU, July 25 I haven't any land close to a city to' sell to a silk manufacturer," said Land Commissioner Pratt yesterday, "but I would like to hear from some private owners who may have." The remark of the Land Commis sioner was drawn out by the follow ing letter, It bears the letter head of the Spherpolar Engineering Company, 72 Trinity Police, Now York, and is dated at New York, July 5th, 1005: "J. W. Pratt, Esq. Dear Sir! Your favor of Juno 10th just to hand, and in reply to the same I would say that we propose to es tablish a largo plant for the manu facture of silk, requiting three acres of ground, and if convenient, quarters for employees. The amount of land required for build ings to cover 500 looms, and atten dant machinery, stables, etc., would be at least threo acres, but we might purchaso more if it could be obtained at a fair price. In fact, the price of the land will have much to do with our establishment of the enterprise. "Wo would want to be near a shipping point, but if it is an ob ject to ship by rail' or boat, or both, would consider such a proposition. Of course, freightage is an object in a large manufacturing businesses wo would have much coal and lum ber to move. "Does the government allow set tlement of lands as a bounty to veterans of the Civil' War? What is the price of' government land? Would like to know the prices of government and of privato lands, with maps and full details, as you suggest. "Outside of business considera tions, my health and pleasure re quiro a better climate and condi tions than I can got 'here. I am not an invaild, wi.s never sick a clay in my life, but I am sixty years old and dislike cold weather as does also my son, who proposes to live in Hawaii und do business thore. "I can have a regular little colony of our own out thero, if I can make tho right figures. . . . I thought a representative of the .United States government would bo as likely as any one to furnish facts, preliminary to our visiting tho place or having our representa tive do so. . . . Estimates for everything- but land have been made, and wo have waited patiently for your reply, for which wo thank you, and which wo fully appreciate. Wo would want to be as near tho city as, possible, consistently with tho prices of proporty. (Signed) "J. L. FOLLETT." Now," said Mr. Pratt, "I am willing to do all that 1 can to furnish information, but I havo not any government land, as 1 said bofoio, that would bo availablo for this purposs. And I would lik'o to hoar from private land owners, as to terms and prices. There must be land near Honolulu that would be suitable fo the en terprise in question." BENNINGTON'S DEAD. SAN DIEGO, July 24. The latest figures of the casualties resulting from tho boiler explosion ofi the gunboat Bennington give the dead as 59, the wounded as 50, and the missing as sixteen. Funeral services were held to day over some of the dead, and Wore most impressive, although simple. Forty-seven of tho bodies of victims of the disaster were laid in two rows, in a deep trench. Tho cemetery in which the bodies of tho Bennington's dead were laid to rest yesterday lies oft the crest of Point Loma, four hun dred feet above tho harbor mouth. It commands a view of the city and. bay of San Diego, Coronado Beach, and tho broad Pacific, while as a background on the north, east and southeast riso the blue mountains of California and Mexico. The view from this spot was declared by Charles Dudley Warner to bo ono of ho seven finest in the world. In the ceme tery many heroes are buried among tho earliest interments being those, of tho bodies of the victims of the battles, of the M ex can War fought in San Diego County.

"After the bankers had held a meeting this morning, they notified me that they would reduce tho discount on Territory warrants from two to one percent," said Territorial Treasurer Campbell yesterday. . It is understood that all the banks in town were represented at the meeting held yesterday aftor iioon. Treasurer Campbell had had a conference with representa tives of tho bankors on Saturday, and had told them a few tilings with reforonco to Territorial fin ances. It was in consequence of this that tho mooting of tho bank ers was called, and tho reduction mado. Tho reduction moans a great deal to men who are working for the govornniont on salary. Heretofore, when tho Treasury has been short of cash, it has boon necessary for salaried men, who aro not as a rule ovor-providont, to discount their warrants, and for this discount tho banks havo charged two per cont. Whon it is romoniborcd that nearly ono million dollars aro paid out b tho Treasury every year in salaries of one kind or another, it will be seen that this has been quilo a handsome plum. And there were other warrants than salary to be discounted. More than that, 'tho 'profit has not always gone to tho banks, nor has the discount always been oven us little as two per cent. A num ber of salary warrants, paticularly in tho cases of smaller salaried men, have gone into the hands of the usurers and these have not been content with two per cent. Tho man who has got into their clutch es has been lucky to get off wytli a discount of ten per cent. CALHOUN COMMISSIONER TO VENEZUELA. OYSTER BAY (L. I ), July 11. Judge William J. Calhoun . of Chicago has been appointed by President Roosevelt to be a special Commissioner to Venezu ela.

According to a report submitted to our State Department by Cdn- sul General Skinner, of Marseilles Franco, an extensive trade in butter substitutes is growing up in Europe, tho chief of these com pounds being copra, or cocoanut butter, with tlnf center of manu facture at Marseilles. A single firm in that city turned out 7200 tons of this edible grease in one year. It is produced by tho mani pulation of copra oil, but tho se cret of its manufacture is jealously guarded and remains in the hands of a few. The compound is sold under tho names of "vegetalino)" and "cocoaline,'' and is declared to bo wholesomo as well as cheap, and is generally sold on its morits It is a boon to tjio poor, and there lias been no attempt to put legal restrictions on its sale Leslie's.
