Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. LIDGATE.

shall be subject to pay a duty of one
dollar per gallon; if containing more
than 21 per cent, of alcohol, such liquor
shall "be subject to the duty by la?.

Rep. Robertson further moved to
amend by striking out that part men
tioning sake explicitly. Tly? first am
endment he had made would cover the
admission of sake at GO cents. There
would be no cause for complaint of
discrimination.
Minister Damcn heartily seconded
the amendment of Rep. Robertson. The
dropping out of the part of the bill
mentioning sake, was an act of states
manship. Rep. Richards said that the bill rais
ing the duty on sake to one dollar had
made a great many friends among the
wine growers in California who had
been supporters of annexation. To pass
the bill was to aim a blow at annex
ation. Rep. Paris stated it as his opinion
that the native Hawaiians should not
be specially mentioned in discussions.
It looked too much like class legisla
tion. The laws should be made for the
good of all classes.
The amended bill passed third read
ing by a vote of 10 to 3.
Third reading and passage of House
Bill 35, relating to the 'limit of time

The matter of the proposed visit of
the representatives to the various pub
lic institutions of the city was post
poned until later date and Reps. Isen
berg and Kaai were appointed to look
further into the matter.
At 12:15 p. m. House took a recess.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Rep. Richards announced for the
Committee on Passed Bills, transmis
sion to the President for consideration
of House Bill 39, relating to tax appeal
court.
Rep. IcCandless presented a petition
of $1200 for repairing Houghtailing
lane in this city.
Senate Bill 3, appropriation for un
paid claims brought up in third read
ing. Rep. Kah'aulelio moved to insert an,
item of $300 to pay Jas. 11. Boyd for
extra -work in the Interior Department
in the absence of Chief Clerk Has
singer. This was objected to by sev
eral of the members and finally refer
red to the Finance Committee.
The item of $3400 tor compensating
dairymen for cows killed on account
of ihaving had tuberculosis, in the event
of the decision of the Supreme Court
in their favor, created much discus
sion. Rep. MeCandi'.ess moved it be
stricken out of the bill. It would have
the effect of influencing the Supreme
Court. The cows had been killed for
the public gcod and the former owners
should be perfectly willing to lose their
tubercular cows without a murmur.
Rep. aicCandless further moved that
Reps. Achi and Isenberg be not allow
ed to vote, these two representatives
being pecuniarily interested. The mem
bers referred to stated they had no in
tention of voting. The motion to striKe

WASHINGTON, March 31 At the
Japanese Legation here it is sated that
no advices have been received on the
line of the London rumor that Japan
has asked the United States to join
Great Britain in supporting Japan's re
fusal to withdraw from Wei-hai-wai
after the payment of the Chinese war
indemnity in view of the possibility of
Russia seizing that port. The rumor
is not credited at the legation.
Denv There Was a Mine.
MADRID, March 30 The Madrid
press today prints a bare half column
of the Teport of the American Court of
Inquiry. El Pais call the report "the
result of a mountain of labor," and
adds: "In admitting that a mine ex
ploded the American commission has
incurred the ridicule of the entire
world, as all technical experience
proves the non-existence of a mine."
Another Torpedo Iiout.
LONDON, March 20. Lieut. John
Knapp of the United States cruiser San
Francisco has been ordered to take
command of the torpedo boat purchas

by Lieutenant Commander Colwell, at

"WHAT THE CO U 1ST FOUND.
Explosion Iu to Au External Cause.
Kei-ponsiblllty Not Fixed.
The findings of the Court of the
Maine disaster are:
First The Court finds that at the
time of the explosion the battleship
Maine was lying in five and cne-lial:" to
six fathoms of water.
Second The discipline aboard the
ship was excellent; everything stowed
according to orders ammunition, guns,
stores, etc. The temierature of the
magazine at S p. m. was normal, ex
cept in the after 10-inch magazine, and
that did not explode.
Third The explosion occurred at
9:40 o'clock on the evening of Febru
ary 15th. There were two explosions,
with a very short interval between
them. The ship lifted on the first
explosion.
Fourth The court can form no de
finite opinion of the condition of the
wreck from the divers' evidence.
Fifth The technical details of the
wreckage are given, from which the
court deduces that a mine was exploded
under the ship on the port side.
Sixth The explosion was due to no
fault of those on board.
Seven Opinion of the court, stat
ing that the explosion of the mine
caused the explosion of the two maga
zines. Eight The court declares that it
cannot find evidence to fix responsi
bility. The Associated Press says that the
report is unamimous and is signed by
all the members of the court. It dees
not refer to the existence or non-existence
of the mine in .the harbor of
Havana, except in the specific finding
that a mine was exploded under the
ship, and that the explosion of the two
magazines was caused by the explosion
of a mine.
THE PRESIDENT NEGOTIATING.
If lie Falls Concrress Will Have tlio
Opportunity of Acting.
WASHINGTON", March 30. It has
been and is the desire of the Adminis
tration to continue without legislative
interruption or hindrance the new ne
gotiations for a peaceful settlement of
the Cuban question now in progress at
Washington and Madrid. If these ne
gotiations succeed, Congress and the
country, it is confidently asserted by
those who know the plans under con
sideration, -will heartily indorse and ap
prove them.
If they fail, or if within a week or
10 days they promise no results, the
President will submit to Congress all
he correspondence that has passed and
the legislative branch free rein to
shape for peace or war this country's
policy.

What It Costs to FiKUt.
NEW YORK, March 31 Lieutenant
Colonel Kimball said today: "Taking
no account of the loss of life and con
sequent increase cf our pension roll, it
will cost $100,000,000 a month to carry
on war. It costs about $1,500, for in
stance, every time one of big coast
defense guns is fired, and an engage
ment between two battleships costs
about $100,000 an hour."
Riots at Klaoclian.
LONDON, April 2. There have been
frequent conflicts between the Chinese
and Germans at Kiaochau, says a spe

nese attacked a marine. The Germans
