At tho Instnnco of H. . P. .Baldwin, O. N. Wl'cox and A. S. Wilcox, I wont to Washington on July 5, 1890, and stayed thoro until September C, dur , Ing tho debato In Congress upon tho ' freo sugar bill of tho IIouso Ways and Moans Committee, Introduced by Its ''chairman, William McKlnley. My in terview with him tho day after I got there haB often been told, but tho re markable colncldcnco In tho origin of that bill and of that now In Congress makes tho story worth retelling now. I found McKlnley at tho Ebbitt Houso in a- small room stocked with documents and reports. Ho received mo graciously, and producing a small brown paper packago of cheap cigars offered mo one, and while wo smoked ho recited the manner In which his bill camo to bo adopted by his com- mlttcoi lidn't Know On Saturday at 2 p. m. at Borctanla camp, a Japaneso set out to clenn a gun which had got damp. It chanced said gun was loaded, which fact Jnp did not know; n cart rldgo soon exploded to Fiikamnchl's woe. 1 Tho Jap Is In tho hospital, and this talo would have been saddor, had tho bullet lodged In Fuka's heart lustoad of near his bladder.

Fqr tho past two weeks Dr. Clark litis been on a trip of Inspection throughout the Island of Hawaii. Many of tho last big batch of Immi grants rocolvod horo wcro sent to Hawaii and it wns to sco how theso wero situated that Dr. Clark visited tho big Island.

SUGAR "Ono mombor or tho committee held tho casting vote, and I tried to get him to favor a fifty per 'cent re duction of the duty; but, whon a rop rosoutatlve of domestic sugar camo boforo us and said ho proforred freo sugar, that ended tho mattor, and tho bill was reported, which, although I think It Is a mistake both financially and politically, I must advocate." At that tlmo Clans Spreckels' rolin cry at Philadelphia was competing with tho Havomcyor, or Sugar Trust refinery, and ho, as I understood, wis tho representative of domestic sugar who went before tho committee and secured tho hill for freo sugar, which caused tho defeat of tho Rcpubllcm party and the olcctlon of Orover Cleveland, showing that McKlnloy's view of tho political mistako was prophetic. Singularly It was Claus Spreckels' son, Gus Spreckels of tho Federal re finery on tho North river, who has now brought to bear a similar Influ ence for freo sugar. ALFRED S. HAIITWEUj.

"I thlwk the county might get in and luke on the work. The road could bo built cheaper, as tho contractor's pro fit would be cut out. Nineteen thou sand dollars por tnllo would bo too high a price to pay for tho Alowa road." The bids for tho steel furniture for the Hllo courthouse will bo culled for In a few days. Local firms and bust- uoks concerns on tho mainland will have .'in opportunity of putting in tenders. The work on tho Judiciary Build ing Is progressing well, and already the Hwu end of tho lower part ot tho structure has been fitted wlh steel girders and uprights that will streng then tho whoje building.

"Tho workers of tho different churches became acquainted with each other In a religious aB well as In a buBlnces and social way. "It made religion a common topic of conversation and an easy ono to broach to your fellowman on tho street without having him take fright and run away. "Besides tho number of people start ed on the straight and narrow path and aflllllated with tho churches, tho chief gain is that there is a big prob ability of permanent organization In rcllgloue, social and civic work. Tho church people of Honolulu have been awakened to tho need of a permanent organization and union with which to work. The denominational lines will uo a soconuary matter with such a union started and on its feet."
