Wireless telegraph messages across the Pacific are now being talked by western managers Interested In the ex tension of the Marconi system. Since Marconi bos conquered the Atlantic with his wireless system there' no say log It can't In done In the l'aclflc The Important place Minister Dowen la occupying la International affairs -will make missions to South America republics more- attractive to the men looking for opportunities In the for eign service. Bowcn has made a name for himself that will put htm on the tlate tor higher positions in tho gift or future administrations. Morgan gave all his employes New Year presents In the form of ircreased salaries and a cash bonus equal to a year's salary. It is pleasant to learn that Morgan does not keep all tho money he makes, but the public want to know how many hundreds saw their business wiped out In order that the Morgan employes might set a raise. Berlin officials deny that von Hoi lenben has been recalled but state that a minister ot superior rank has boon dispatched to Washington to ucal with the Venezuelan matter. Whether von liollenben Is recalled or not the change mad indicates that the German side ot the difficulty will be presented In a different light on the arrival ot von Sternberg. The cold wave that Is now sweeping over the Mainland was predicted by Prof. Lyons during the chilly period Hawaii experienced last week. Lyons' theory that the wave enme from Japan urid was proceeding eastward Is buriie out by the cable reports received to day This serves to shqw the value which the reports from Hawaii can be made to the weather bureau. Tl.c dull sugar market following the new year has been a disappointment to those anticipating the holiday udvunrc would continue. The Cuban treaty ery likely has seme effect on the sit uation, but whatever the cause, it is worthy of note that the rullstlclam. dealing with the world's output have uot had occasion to change their fig ures. With the prospective supply falling short of previous carn, the higher prices sho'ilrt rule u it:iln a com paratively short time. The record for the year 1902 shows that there has been a considerable de crease In the number of neAly organ ized trusts, the banner year havlnv been 1898. The Federal null agalntl the Northern Securities Company Is given as the cause of this falling off. The general public has occn of the opinion that every known industry ha been swept into the combinations known as Trusts, and whatever de crease might be noted would arise from a lack of new fields to conquer. It Is gratifying to hear that lantana after all has Its good uses. There Is enough of it In the Islands and Its erad ication Is sufficiently difficult to war rant the belief that the districts find ing lantana a benefit will have no cause for complaint. Judging tho future by tho past the destruction of the shrub on lands where it Is considered a pest will occupy sufficient time to enable the Kona people, for Instance, to get the full benefit of the valuable prop erties. There can be no doubt that In some sections of the Territory, lantana has been a land maker. The sbruu seems to thrive ai well on a lava flaw as on fertile lands and the thick roots have prevented washfng'out the accu mulated vegetable matter by heavy rains. Superintendent Cooper's Island trip should be of Immense benefit to tha Public Works Department in the ef fort to competently provide for public necessities In the outside districts, The local government bills will take away a great deal of work from this depart ment, but It Is nevertheless the Super intendent's duty to be ready to assist the Legislature In nrovldlne what funds are1 needed In 'the Immediate future. He can also, by .an Intimate knowledge of the districts, greatly facilitate' the transferor his derailment work to the 'county or municipal governments to be established. The Public Wrrks De partment, cow the most Important of the Territory, will alio be the most important department In each city, town and county organisation. ISLAND MA8BMBCTIN08. Mr. Mulltr'i ouggeitlon rrgardln general mass meetings throughout the Territory to protest agalmt iHisslbli legislation which would make of in. Kalaupapa settlement a National In- ;: .. ..,"'" " .

There can t commissioner of Labor Carroll D. be no doubt of the prealllng scntl- Wright. ment or of the necessity of party a.:- ( ..The;c . nruy a ,ubject of such lion for the fuinilment of campaign 1 importance on which accurate Infor promises, Home question has been matlon Is so difficult to obtain," said raised as to the meaning of ctispntclic commissioner Wright "Take the re- reccivcu nere Deanng on the subject, and It may be admitted that errors may have occurred In the Interpretation placed on abbreviated cablegrams. The reports received however taily so close ly with the tenor of private informa tion gltlng tcntathe lorecasts of what might be expected, It Is not probable that the published statements far astray from the fact. Mass meetings throughout the Ter ritory practically at the lame hour would be an Innovation which would serve a double purpose. Iclegrapblc communication with the Islands makes such a program feasible, and Its effect upon the people In establishing closer bonds of unity In public affairs would be most beneficial. Should the Itepub llcan committee Inaugurate this meth od. It would attract a widespread at tention among men of all factions and parties, and carry greater conviction as to the activity, honesty ard deter mination with which the party follows up Its promises. a- !H Ml Tho Globe Navigation Co.'s steamer Tamplco arrived from Seattle at about 6 o'clock this morning after a tcrrlblo trip of fifteen days. The officers of tho vessel describe the voyage as one of the most trying of their experience From the moment the big freighter left Capo Flattery until tbeso Islands were reached she bad to contend with strong head winds and stormy seas, running irom one gale Into another to such an extent that it had the effect of one con tinuous gale. Tho bad weather throughout almost the entire voyage came from a souther ly quarter, with tho exception of ono very strong northwesterly gale. This gale, of January 5, was tho worst of tho gales encountered and came near costing a couple ot the men their lives. As It Is, one man bad a leg broken and had to bo taken to the hospital Im mediately upon tho arrival of tho Tam plco In tkls port. At 5 o'clock on the morning of Jan uary G, some of tho sailors wcro em ployed by the forward rigging setting the fore trysail. Suddenly, an enor mous wavo arose over the starboard bow, and, swcaplng Ilka an avalanche over the deck, carried the carpenter and two sailors clear across from tho starboard side of tho vessel over to the port side. The mil ot tin Tamplco (onslsts ot Iron stanchions about four feet high. Between these stanchions run two lines of wlro rope. The carpenter nml ono of the sailors wcro carried by the tremendous force of tho water between these wires and swept overboard, but luckllv both had the prcsenco of mind to catch hold of tho wires as they passed between them. Clinging to them with all their might, they managed to hang on nnd snvo themselves from a watery grave. Whllo the carpenter escaped with a bad scare, the sailor was not so fortu nate. When ho was carried through tho wires ono of his legs struck an Iron stanchion with such forco that both bones were broken between the kneo and tho nnklc. Captain Ames set tho unfortunate man's leg and managed to bandage It so well that the sailor suf fered no pain before yesterday, when tho bandage had to be removed, as It had begun to chafe. The man suffered considerable pain last night, and on tho arrival f the vessel here had to bo removed to tho Queen's Hospital In the patrol wagon. The sailor's name Is "Paddy" Woods; be Is an able seaman. Beyond this uifortunate occurrence no damage was done on board the steamer, despite tho rough weather. Waves swept over the Tamplco's deck from the beginning until the end of the voyage, but nothing was carried Sway. No vessels were sighted during the trip. Captain Ames states that what ever windjammers bound for this port which had been In the same "weather as- the Tamplco, must have been car ried far out of their way. The Tamplco Is lying at the Irm gard wharf, where she will discharge her cargo. She brings 2,200 tons of freight, included In which Is a ship ment ot 1,000 tons of coal for tho Unit ed States Transport Service, the Globe Navigation Company having secured the contract to carry all the transport coal for this port.

It Is very dlmcult to ascertain what a miner makes in a given time. He Is an em ployer of labor himself, paying wages of varying sums. Kaltroad employee are paid wages that ate comparatively easy of verification. Many other trades hate established schedules ot wages, Uut take the whole country over and It Is a great and complex problem. "The wages paid now In the United Btates arc higher than ever before In the history of tho country that Is, the general level is higher. Ine highest level ever reached before the present high-water mark was In 1802. In 1803 some Industries suspended and others l educed wages. For about three years wages fell here and there. This wa heralded abroad, and the general' Im preseton prevailed that all wages went down. This was not thi case. The wages paid In a majority ot industries kept right on at the same late. Then, a few years ago. Industries that had cut wages restored them, tad this was erroneously taken as a rise. It wau merely a rise to tho level of 1892. Dur ing the last two or three years, how ever, wages In many industries have been Increased over the rates of 1892, wtille the great bulk ot the Industries that reduced wages in 1803-06 have fully restored them. The Increase In railroad, rtcel mill and other opera' tlvcs' wages recently may by several companies is a notable evidence ot the upward tendency, at which we all re joice." STOP RACE GAMBLING. London, Jan. 3. The rapid Increase In betting on borae racing In the United Kingdom, especially among worklngmen, and the evils arising therefrom, are fully acknowledged Is the report of the select committee ot the House of Lords .issued today, but the remedies recommended are not far reaching. The committee finds that betting Is greatly facilitated by the unltersal practlco of the newspapers In publishing' startling prices, but the committee Is not prepared to recom mend Its prohibition, as it would tend to encourage dishonesty on the part ol bookmakers. It rocommends that all advertisements and circulars ot sport ing "tipsters" be made Illegal and favors legislation enabling bookmakers to be Imprisoned for betting on the streets with children. DIVIDE A8IATIC FLEET. Washington, Dec. 30. The Navy De partment has decided to dlWdo the Asiatic squadron Into three divisions Instead of two, as at prc:int, nnd to tend out another flag officer.

Tho latter will ulse his Hag on the gunboat Halnbow nnd will havo his general headqunr teis at Cavlte. GRAND TRUNK COLLISION. St. Catharine's, Ont., Jan. 3. The Chicago Express, castbound, consist ing of two baggage cars, twa day coach es and two sleeping cars, drawn by an eighty-ton engine, collided today with another eighty-ton engine, running light. Just west ot Merriton Tunnel, on the Grand Trunk railroad. Fireman Desault was killed and Engineer Buck Itt and Duke and Fireman Horning were seriously injured. Both engines and the baggage car were badly wrecked. Thirty passengers escaped with a bad shaping up, a few bruises and scratches. The cause of the acci dent is not known. ELEPHANT MUST HANG.
