HALL & SON, Ld. Corner Fort & King Sts. i:. IP Hamakua Plantation, Paauilo, Hawaii, H. I. Mr. J. G. Spencer, Pacific Hardware Co., Honolulu. 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. ROBERT CATTQN. 212 Quoen Street. Honolulu.

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 within which claims against the estate of deceased persons. House Bill CO, relating to the impor tation and sale of opium, read second time and passed. Third reading of House Bill G2, re lating to smoking of tobacco by chil dren under a certain age. The bill fail ed to pass on a vote of G to 7. 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 w;i nut. ReD.

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 ed for the United States Government by Lieutenant Commander Colwell, at the Schichau yards, where she was "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. 4 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.
