showery weather has spoiled some hay.
aireaay cut ana exposea in tne field, but
it has been of vast benefit to the grain
crops of all kinds and the late gardens.

have been little more than half a crop In
this county.
The fruit crop will be above the average
in Douglas County this year. Italian
prunes alone having been injured by the
cold snap In the Spring. The petite and
silver varieties will be an excellent yield,
and it is estimated that 2.500.000 to 3,000.000
pounds of dried prunes will be exported

yield unusually well, and the shipments
will be heavy from this station.

tho case of Johnny Creighton. of Beaver

ed to lodge a charge of assault and bat-

ACTIVE TRADER WANTED.
Man Engaged in Oriental Lines for
the Commission.
WASHINGTON June 15. The appoint
ment of a member of the Oriental Trade
Commission is receiving a great deal of
attention on the Pacific Coast and. In par
ticular. In the States of Washington ana
Oregon. There has been considerable ag
itation in favor of an active business man,
who has done business in Oriental llnee,
and who could funrfsb the commission
with such information, based.upon his ex
perience, as would warrant his appoint
ment ae a Pacific Coast member of the
commission. It is not yet generally uu
derstood. Judging from the Indorsements
that are being received, that the bill pro
viding for the creation of the commission
did not pass. A large number of blHs
were sent to the Senate committee on
commerce, and- Mr. Galllnger, a member
of the committee, was authorized to mate
a. report to the Senate, but no action was
taken in the House.
Road Expert 1o Come to the Coat..
The question of securing systematic
nlans for road Improvements In thr Ystate
of Washington has been thoroughly dis
cussed by Senator Foster with Secretary
Wilson, of the Agricultural Department.
The secretary has agreed to assign h
road expert to the Pacific Coast state,
who will give his time to investigating
good road propositions and making sug
gestions that can be utilized by the peo
ple in Improving their roads generally.
There are, throughout the State of
Washington, a large number of men who
ere enthusiastically In favor of securing
better roads and who have expressed a
willingness to co-operate with the Sec
retary of Agriculture In the formulation
of plans. Secretary Wilson has agreed in
discussing the subject with Senator Fos
ter, to send a road expert for the Pacific
Coast, first to the State of Washington,
where he will begin his labors, and It u
expected that those Interested in work of
this kind will co-operate with the Agri
cultural Department and with the expert
wfoo is assigned to the Coast.
The Seattle Canal Matter.
Although the right of way papers in the
Seattle Canal matter have been forward
ed to the Wax Department, there will
have to be a further Investigation and
examination of the question of the project
before the money now available can be
expended. The War Depirtment Is now
prepared to consider the .lerious quest'on
of proceeding actively with the construc
tion of tho waterway. Before doing this
a local officer of tho Engineer Corps, Cap
tain Harry Taylor, will bo called upon
to give a report on the questions of prac
ticability and feasibility as regards certain
engineering problems. When these re
ports have been presented and have re
ceived favorable attention, the War De
partment will be prepared to go ahead and
begin construction of the work. It Is not
expected that there will be any hitch so
far as the engineering department is con
cerned, as the estimate of the amount of
money that could be expeditiously expend
ed on this work has already been made
out by the Chief of Engineers, General
John M. Wilson. The amount Immediately
available Is $171,000.
CLEANED OUT THE BOXES.
Retiring Conncllmen Leave Little
Committee Worlc for Successors.
Councllmen Baker, Beutgen. Hansen,
Harris, Jameson, Martin. Meyer and Show,
ers were busy at the City Hall yesterday
for four hours, cleaning up and making
Teady for their successors. When they
were through the boxes of the ways
and means committee, license committee,
health and police committee, liquor license
committee, committee on accounts and
current expenses, committee on commerce,
landings and wharves, and committee on
street-cleanjng and sprinkling, were
"swept and garnished," figuratively speak
ing, and were cleaned out as clean as a
shotgun.
The box of the street committee, of
course, could not be cleaned out, and
the committee was fain to admit that the
streets were not so clean .as they might
be, but the new Council must have some
thing to start business on. The last of
ficial act of the committee was to ap
prove the bill for their own salaries, a bit
of routine work the new Counclll will not
be troubled with.
The cleanlng-up and final disposition of
matters on hand will probably swell the
amount of routine business to be trans
acted today, but there appears to be noth
ing of much Importance outside of routine
business to come before the Council.
After all, the business had been disposed
of the Councllmen repaired to tho Mayor's
office to spend a brief session In sweet
communion with His Honor. It is" not
expected that any special meetings during
the remainder of the month will be neces
sary. LAST NIGHT'S MASS MEETING

MAKING A PLATFORM
(Continued from First Pace.)
necessitated hy the action of the sub
committee. When the recess was taken at 9 o'clock,
a positive policy had been decided upon
on' most of the questions.
The principal declaration of the finan
cial ptank had been completed, but there
was sUU doubt as to whether any refer
ence would be made to silver, with the
Indications favorabie to a slight recogni
tloa of International bknetallsm, the,
however, to be accompanied by the "posi
tive declaration that without Interna
tional agreement, bimetaHsm Is not to re
ceive any recognition whatever. At that
hour, however, the resolution declared
aoaomteiy icj tne maintenance oi we
gtfd standard, .commended .tho passage
of the -financial legislation of the last ses-
absolutely for the maintenance of the
s'on of Congress and then added some
features 'from the plank suggested by
Messrs. Hanna and Payne, favoring such
legislation as will secure lower rates ot
interest In times of financial stringency
by permitting the temporary Issuance of
a limited Increase of the bank circulation
to be secured oy depositing united States ,
bonds
On the question of trusts thef document
says that "while recognizing the neces
sity and legitimacy of the co-operation
of capital In the promotion of industrial
enterprises, we are opposed to all com- Imported will be nearly 50 per cent in ex
blnatlons Intended to restrict trade, to ' cess of that of the preceding year, and
limit production, to affect pris and de- more than double that of tho fiscal year
stroy competition, and we favor such leg-
isiation as will effectively prevent abuses
liable to arise from such combinations.
There Is also a declaration In the inter
est of labor, with which Is coupled a de
mand for the restriction of immigration.
This plank says that "in the Interest of
the American worklngman we favor such
legislation as will regulate and restrict
foreign Immigration." There is also
demand for the raising of the age limit
of children employed In factories and for
shorter hours of labor for all classes of
laborers.
The President Is commended for his ten
der of mediation In the war between Great
Britain and the Transvaal, and this Is
coupled with the declaration that. In
view of the restrictions placed upon him
by The Hague treaty, he could not go
further. The fact Is pointed out, how
ever, that no other nation has gone so
far In manifesting sympathy for the
Boers.
There Is the usual declaration for a
protective tariff, coupled with an expres
sion of commendation of the course of
the Republican party in enacting the
.Dlngley law, and a determination to
maintain that policy expressed In that
law.
The President's course in the war with
Spain, in the Philippines and In Cuba and
Porto Rico la commended. There are two
or three drafts of the resolution, all dif
fering in phraseology, and all the same
in sentiment, but it Is not known which
one will be accepted.
A liberal pension policy is favored, lib
eral laws and the liberal administration
of them. There Is a declaration in favor
of maintaining the country's pledges to
Cuba In tho matter of Independence; de
mand -for the maintenance of the present
civil service law, and for Its extension to
the new possessions as far as practicable
under prevailing conditions; a declaration
for the protection of the colored people
of tho Southern States In their rights un
der the Constitution; commendation of
the movement for good roads in the coun
tryIncorporated at the Instance of Sen
ator Galllnger and a suggestion looking
to the removal of apportion of the war
taxes.
The subcommittee of the committee on
platform resumed Its sitting at midnight
and adjourned a few minutes after 2
o'clock. It concluded Its draft of the
financial plank, which Is above given,
with the addition of the following clause:
"We are unalterably opposed to the free
coinage of sliver, unless by agreement with
the commercial nations of tho world.
There was a declaration for a capal
across the Isthmus of Panama, but no
pronunclamento for the Nicaragua or any
other specific route.
Following Is the plank with reference to
the Roers:
"We sympathize with the people of the
Transvaal republics, and approve the
course of the President of the United
States In tendering the mediation of this
country In the struggle between the people
of that Republic and the Kingdom of
GTeat Britain, and we further express the
hope that the contest may terminate with
honor to both the contending parties."
The specific allusion to the acquisition of
the Philippines and Porto Rico and to tho
course of the President with reference to
them, as well as to other incidents and
results of the Spanish-American War, is
approved.
The present situation in China is re
ferred to In a paragraph suggesting it to
be the duty of the United States to pro
tect the Interests of its citizens wherever
they may be.
Tho subcommittee will meet again to
morrow at 9 o'clock, and will mako its
report to the full committee.

its exports of manufactures will exceed
those of any preceding year by more

total exports for the 11 months of the
year amount to $1.2S6,214,5.14, and should
the June figures prove as largo as those

able Increase, owing to the marked ad
vance In price. Nearly all grades of
manufactures of Iron and steel show an
advance. Steel rails In the 10 months
ending with April, 1900, Increased from
$4,250,000 to $6,500,000; structural iron and

Increaso In value being troh $3,000,000 to
$4,951,000, the advance In price being much
greater than that In quantity;, and this Is
true In nearly all grades, of, iron and steel
exports. . Builders' hardware Increased
from JG.332.000 to $7.8SS.OO0: railway encines.
from $3,7SS,000 to $4,803,000; wire nails, de

that the advance In prices,"Wbuld cause a
reduction In exports. '
Other lines of manufacture show a large
advance. Leather and Its' manufactures
show an Increase from $19,OfO,000 to nearly
$23,000,000 during the period nnder consid
eration, and mineral oils an Increase from
$40,000,000 to $56,000,000, thoughthls Increase

NATIVES FORM A PARTY
HAWAIIANS "BEGIN THE FIGHT
EARLY FOR STATEHOOD.
Platform Adopted at a Convention
Held In Honolulu The Ex-
Qaeen'a Advice.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 19. Tho steam
er "Doric brings the following advices from
Honolulu, under date of June 12:
The Hawaiian have met In convention
and have formed an independent political
party. They figure, that by standing to
gether they can control both Houses of
the Legislature, and. in addition, elect
their Representative in Congress. They
have adopted a platform, "which demands
that, natives be put on an equality with
whites. The platform in part Is as fol
lows: "We believe that all government founded
on an independent basis should be assured
of freedom without oppression. We be
lieve In equal rights and freedom for all
people. The belief of the independent
party Is that the successful candidate in
the Legislature of the Territory of Ha- J
wail snouid strlvo in every way to secure
the consent of the Congress of the United
States to make a state of the Territory of
Hawaii, and pledge ourselves to support
all good and equal provisions that tho
Republican and Democratic parties of the
United States may see fit to enact. Wo
pledge ourselves to support that political
party In the United States that will worlc
to make Hawaii a state.
"Wo intend to strive in every way pos
sible to secure from the United States
benefits and privileges for the natives and
other citizens alike, who will work to
gether for the good of the country, re
gardless of color. Our Legislators shall
strive to obtain homesteads for the people
out of the lands that have been taken
over by the United States. They shall
further strive to encourage education. In
dustrial pursuits, .farming, road-making,
railroads and both foreign and local com
merce, that will redound to tho advantage
of the country.
"We stand opposed to monopolies."
The 8th Inst, the members of the con
vention called on the -ex-Queen, who re
ceived them kindly and addressed them
for about 10 minutes. She spoke slowly
and deliberately, saying In part:
"It Is useless for us to abstain from
taking a stand. Our future prosperity
depends upon It. As soon as the United
States flag was hoisted over these Islands
and our Hawaiian flag was lowered by the
authority of the American Government,
It meant that it had com to stay. It is
my wish for your future welfare to stand
shoulder to shoulder and seek every means
that will conduce to the benefit of the
whole nation. When the flag went down
It went down for good. We -must now
do our duty as American citizens."
The resolution adopted by the conven
tion declaring for an Independent party
was as follows: "That the Hawallans
should stand as an Independent or home
rule party." There was not a vote against
this.
The Board of Health ha.j officially de
clared a quarantine agalnat the port Oj
San Francisco. All vessels will be treated
In the usual way. As to passengers from
San Francisco, no action has been taken,
and It Is possible that none will be, un
less the plague appears among other than
Chinese.
The Democratic Territorial Convention
has elected the following delegates to
tho National convention to be held at
Kansas City: David Kawanakoa, Will
iam H. Cornwell, Charles T. W. Ekler,
John D. Holt, John H. Wise and W. 8.

DEPARTING LANDMARKS.
Old Families Disappearing: Charac
ter of Population Clinnslne:.
r New York Mail and Express.
Every week thousands of persons come
to New York whose chief motive is prob
ably the desire to eeo for themselves 113
historic landmarks, and almost every
week the city requites their reverent In
terest with tho announcement that au
other monument of its past is to be lev
eled to mako room for a towering office
building, a mansion or a tenement. The
landmarks are going very rapidly, and,
while the historical societies have made
tho best of .an unfortunate situation, tho
disappointment of the pilgrim who Is
looking for the ancient verities carmoc
but be keen when, at tho end of his
quest, all that ho finds Is a bronze tablet
Imbedded In the walls of a modern sky
scraper declaring that here, or neai
here, a great man lived or a great deea
was done.
The landmarks are going because
every effective tendency is combined to
break them down. Old families are dis
appearing, the character of the popula
tion Is changing constantly with the
heavy inflow of alien races, and the
forces that are molding the city are con
cerning themselves chiefly with the
things of today. Because there 13 no
large general Interest In the past, there
has been no general policy for the pres
ervation of Its monuments, and only a
general policy can preserve them. Pri
vate families, for the most part, are the
custodians of the monuments, and. In t
city where rents are mounting and every
parcel of land down town has an unnat
ural value, the preservation of a historic
building Is a distinct and unrequited sac
rifice by one man for the sake of other

An active mind, suffering fromfNerrlne pute the mind In just thatfecmTMnK'NerTmeandwodabeiadM
overexertion, grief, trouble, worry ef

body a greater amount of fuel for the

amount of vital force to operate
the
human machine, and when all
the
available supply of force is absorbed
by the overworked brain there is noth
ing left for the stomach. It is easy
now to understand -why irritability

synonymous; why a nervous person
usually so very particular and capri

ish of its two churchyards in Lower
Broadway, upon property which, although
of almost incalculable value, yields prao
tlcally no revenues, is an instance of such
sacrifice.
It Is a National misfortune that the
landmarks are going, for their service le
to tho whole Nation, particularly to the
newer communities of the West, and not
to the city alone. There are more anc
greater memories In thfrs vicinity of tho
Revolution, of the founders of the Consti
tution and of the Inauguration "of repre
sentative government than In any other
city of America. Back of them are the
traditions of the Dutch Colonial period
which a genial pen has adorned, and
which New York holds alone, while In
the foreground are recollections of gei
erations of gifted and wise writers In
that golden age when the New York
author dwelt In his own domicile, despis
ing the flat. The monuments of those
memories are shrines at which National
feeling may recreate 'Itself. And local
pride as "well, for the city that would

of Its great yesterday.
The destructive tendencies of the day
may best be combated by thepollcy cf
which the acquisition of the Grade man
sion, ta Hell Gate Park, and the opening
of the Van Cortlandt mansion, beyond
the Harlem, are isolated Illustrations.
There are needed the co-operation cf tho
city and the historical societies and.

must be added, the favor of circum

has proceeded but slowly In tho Bronx
region. because the sequestration of a
site advantageous for business docs not

as it would down town. Any efforts to
save the landmarks of the lower j:lty will
encounter exceptional difficulties. but the
example of Boston Indicates what can be
done. To the visitor the chief charm of
tho old Massachusetts town Is the spirit
of a great past that has not been suf
fered to leavo Its streets.
PROFESSIONAL SCRIVENER.
He Does the Expert Literary Touches
for Foreigner.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"The good old trade of professional letter-writer
hasn't gone out of existence
by any means," said a member of New
Orleans' Bohemian circle the other day.
"I know two men who follow It regularly
here In town, and I dare say there arc
others In the same line that I haven't
heard of. One of the pair I have In mind
lives over In the Italian colony, and Is
kept busy all tho time., He Is a little, drled
up Neapolitan, with a skin as yellow as
a gold coin, and a coaTso black beard,
growing in queer patches on his Jaws and
chin, but he Is as sharp as a needle, and
when he thaws over a flask of chlanti he
is as entertaining a companion as you
could find In all the old quarter. Among
his countrymen he enjoys a great reputa
tatlon as a poet, and naturally love-letters
are his specialty. He writes them bythe
score, by the hundred, by the cord, for
young emigrants, who have left sweet
hearts across the water, and to see him
at work Is something to be remembered.
"Generally the client brings along sev
eral friends, who sit around in a semicircle
and make suggestions as the letter pro
gresses. Most oi these the writer waves
aside, but otherii are discussed, pro and
con, with excited gesticulation. Occasion
ally a scrap of verse is woven In. At
last the epistle Is completed, and the little
old scrivener proceeds to rend it aloud, or
rather, declaim It, to an audience which
has swollen by that time to as many as
the small room will hold. If the effort Is
especially flowery, its effect on the listen
ers is extraordinary. I have seen them
shriek with laughter and at the next mo
ment sobbing and weeping, and there was
something In the frank play of emotion
and quick sympathy with one another's
humble affairs that always struck me as
being peculiarly touching. I understand
that most of the old man's patrons can
read and write, and go to him merely as a
literary expert. It is not a half-bad Idea,
and one that could bo followed to advan
tage by some of our own empty-headed
young men. The charge varies according
to length and poetic beauty, but averages
about $1 a letter. The other professional
scrivener to whom I referred lives on the
river front, and his principal customers
are Norwegian sailors. I know nothing
about him personally. In fact, I am
merely aware that there Is such a man,
and that he earns his living writing let
ters."

Officer Harland Immediately notified the)

in the neighborhood of tho City Park
were warned to keep a sharp lookout
for the cracksmen. A lively search was
continued.

The Secrets ot Damascus.
London Dally Mail
In reference to the recentt discovery of
Syriac and Cuflc documents 1000 years oldL
at Damascus, the following additional dew
talis, showing the manner of the discov
ery, may prove of Interest- Some time
ago the Anrwy Mosque was burnt down;"
the government began rebuilding St a. few
weeks ago, and In the process, after clear
ing away some of the rubbish, they found
In the outer court a small building with,
a dome resting on four columns.
On opening this they found the three
boxes of parchments, whldh consisted of
revenue accounts, a Greek Bible, some
Syriac books, one of which when opened
by the Syriac Patriarch, was found to
be an attack on the Bible and the Gos
pels, and lastly the Koran In Cufic writ
ing. Cufa was an old oity, older even than
Bagdad, where the most skillful copyists
of the Koran congregated in the days of
Mahommed, whence the characters of th
Arabic alphabet used by them came to
be known as "Cuflc", These parchment
there are considered to be more than 1000
years old.
When the Governor, Nazeux Pasha,
heard ot this find, he took possession ot
the parchments, photographed them, and
sent the originals on to Constantinople.
With every exertion the best men can
do but a moderate amount of good; but
it seems in tho power of the most con
temptible individual to do lncalculablo
mischief. Washington Irving.
