W) Department Stores Forced to Accept Higher Rates for Advertising. ‘Lhe fight between the Denver newspapers and the fourteen large department stores of the elity regarding advertising rates, which began nine days ago, ended Tuesday night with the unconditional surrender of the Merchants’ Association. Since the mer- chants withdrew their advertisements, the proprietors of the papers have agreed upon a new scale of rates, somewhat higher than the previous cne, and this has been accept- ed by the merchants. The fight was precipitated by a demand from the advertisers for a reduction of about 30 per cent in the rates of advertis- ing and withdrawal of all patronage when the demand was denied. Nearly all the la- bor unions in the city espoused the cause of the papers, and much public feeling was shown against the stores during the con- test. So intense was the feeling among the la- bor organizations that many meetings were held to spread the agitation in the Interest of the newspapers and to keep people away from the stores. The result was that the stores were almost deserted, and the pro- prietors had to retract or go out of busi- ness. At a late Lour Tuesday night the newspaper offices were visited by a repre- sentative of each stere in the combination and the unconditional surrender of the de- partment stores was announced. The rep- resentatives agreed to make new contracts for advertising as soon as possible. a MeMILLIN LEADING TURLEY. Seven Ballots Taken by the Demo- cratic Caucus for Tennessee’s Senator Seven ballots for United States senator were taken by the democratic caucus of the general assembly last night at Nash- ville, but no nomination was made, the caucus adjourning until tomorrow night. The first ballot gave Congressman Ben- ton McMillin thirty-nine votes, Senator ‘turley thirty and Governor Taylor nine- teen. During the succeeding six ballots the same number of votes was cast for Gov- ernor Taylor. On the third ballot Senator Turley received 31 votes, but on the other ballots there was no change so far as his vote was concerned. Mr. McMillin received thirty-nine votes on every ballot, except the third and sev- enth, when he goth thirty-eight. The Mc- Millin vote had been estimated at from thirty-six to forty before the caucus met. The Turley vote was about what was ex- pected. The vote for’ Taylor was not as large as had claimed, his friends be- lieving that he would receive from twenty- seven to thirty on the-first ballot. A nomination miay be made tonight, but at present it looks as if there would be a deadlock for a day or two at least. STUDENTS INCITING RIOT. — They Make Demonstrations Against Zola and the Hebrews. A band of 200 students paraded the Bou- levard Des Capucines, in Paris, yesterday evening, with the intention of making a demonstration before the Military Club, but they were dispersed. A demonstration, in which ea thousand students took part, occurred at 5 o'clock before the Pantheon. The students shouted against Zola und the Hebrews. They were Griven away by the police, who split the mob up into noisy groups, which then be- gan parading various parts of the Latin quarter, where there was much excite- ment. helesale Leg Breaking. Five legs were broken in three accidents yesterday afternoon, all within an hour, at the new Cornell dam, Croton-on-the-Hud- son, New York. James Fox fell from ao train and ‘had both legs broken. A little later an Italian had his right leg broken by a stone falling on it. The excitement over these accidents had not subsided when the slipping of another big stone broke both legs of another Italian. HAWAIIAN COFFEE CULTURE A Comprehensive Report by Consul Genera! | Haywood. Thrives Best at Altitudes Varying From 500 to 2,000 Feet—Wind is the Worst Enemy of the Tree. Consul General William Haywood at Honolulu has “made an interesting and comprehensive report to the State De- partment on the subject of coffee culture in the Hawaiian Islands, which is publish- ed in full in number 13 of the daily con- sular reports. He says in part: “The mail received at this consulate gen- eral for the past four montis shows that considerable interest is taken by the peo- ple of the United States in the raising of coffee in these islands. According to a table to be published in next year’s Ha- wailan Annual there are 222 coffee planta- tions on the islands, of wlich 193 are on the island of Hawaii. The prevailing labor is Japanese, though natives, Chinamen and Portuguese are employed. On one place 1 found two Germans employed at $20 per month. “The universal price paid for Japanese labor is $15 per month, without board. In the Olaa district a number of Chinese are employed at wages ranging from $16 to $17 per month. I found the planters preferred the Chinese to the Japanese, be- cause they were more tractable and work. better without overseeing. The native Ha- waiians, I was sorry to see, did not take Kindly to working in the fields, although in the Puna district I noticed a number. The natives seem to work best on the cat- tle ranches and at odd jobs which do not require continuous labor. The Japan- ese seem to be, so far, all that is require for successful’ coffee’ raising, though it seems to me that the more important work of planting should be intrusted to the most faithful and intelligent labor that can be employed, even though double the present wages be paid. For this work, the patient, painstaking, faithful German seems to me to be the best fitted. The Germans are natural gardeners and can be depended upon, as a rule, to do their work well. The wages paid may seem to some far in excess of that paid to labor in other coffee-producing countries, but I am told by those who are familiar with the subject that the labor on these islands is worth more than Central and South American labor, for instance. “Coffee, like other trees, is subject to blight and insects. So far, the planters have had no serious trouble. I noticed three kinds—red spider, smut and the cut- worm. The first two give way to a good, heavy rain. For the cutworm, a piece of brown paper is tied around the trunk of the tree about two inches from the ground and covered with printer's ink. Another method is to cut bamboo in four-inch lengths and put around the tree when planted. The Coffee Belt. “The coffee belt on this island begins where the cane fields terminate, at an ele- vation of about 500 feet, and extends up the mountains to about 2,000 feet. Be- yond this very little has been planted. The total area of government lands ts fixed at 1,782,500 acres, of which 76,270 acres are devoted to coffee. The area of coffee lands on the island of Maui will probably be increased by further inves- tigations on the windward side of the is- land. Land can be obtained from the government by two methods, viz., the cash- freehold system and the right-of-purchase leases. Under the first system, the lani is sold at auction. The right-of-purchase leases are drawn for twenty-one years, at a rent: of 8 per cent on the app! value of the land. The Mmit of first-class agricultural land obtainable is 10 acres. This amount is increased on lands of in- jor quality. tcthe soll of Hawail 1s extremely rich and fertile. Being of volcanic origin, the fertility varies according to the state of disintegration of the lava and the amount of dgcomposed vegetable matter. The lava flow is of two kinds, called ‘Aa’ and ‘Pahoihoi.’ Where the ground is covered with broken Aa the soil is very rich. “Thus far coffee has been found to thrive best at altitudes varying from 500 to 2,000 feet, though fine trees may be seen at near- ly sea level, and a few feet beyond 2,000. It is generally conceded that trees grown near sea level are more susceptible to blight than when grown at higher altitudes. It is said that 42 degrees is the lowest tem- perature coffee will stand. An elevation where the temperature ranges from 48 de- grees to 80 degrees is thought to be best for successful growing. The worst enemy of the coffee tree Is wind. In every case where the tree is exposed to a strong wind the evil effects become apparent in stunted growth or lack of follage. There is great diversity of opinion regarding shade. At first it seems that all the plant- ers paid great attention to this subject, leaving large trees standing in the clear- ing, and where no trees could be left they planted rapid-growing ones for this pur- pose. Now a number of the most suc- cessful planters In each of the districts I have visited are advocates of plenty of sun and seem to be meeting with good success. Imported Seed Used. “Until recently only native seed has been planted, but now it is thought best to im- port the seed. That obtained from Guate- mala is thought much of. It is claimed that a tree raised from Guatemalan seed will be as far advanced at four years as one at six from native seed. Trees raised from imported Java seed have done well. “This item of expense depends largely upon the personal wants of the individual. For forty planters whom I questioned, the cost ran from nothing, where the place was managed by a neighboring planter, to $3,500; the average being a little over $1,100. I append three estimates of cost of establishing and maintaining coffee plantations. The first is one published in a pamphlet issued by the Hawaiian foreign Office, for a plantation of 100 acres, 75 acres planted in coffee, from the first to the seventh year, when it is estimated that the crops will pay back the original out- lay and leave a balance. This estimate calls for $18,000 capital. At the end of seven years, it is estimated that the re- turns from sales of coffee will pay back the amount invested and leave a balance to the credit of the plantation of $21,275. “According to this estimate it will cost $235 per acre to bring 50 acres to bearing at four years and 25 acres bearing at three years. “The next estimate is one furnished by Mr. Joseph Marsden, commissioner of ag- riculture. The land in this case is sup- posed to be government land, taken up under the purchase-lease system. This es- timate is for 50 acres of land, 20 of which are to be put in coffee, and will require a capital of $5,800, all of which will be re- turned at the end of seven years and leave a balance to the credit of the plantation of $2,230. According to Mr. Marsden’s fig- ures it costs $300 per acre to bring to three years’ bearing. “The last is one made by Mr. W. H. Smith, a planter in Olaa. This is for 100 acres of land, with 50 acres in coffee. The capital required is from $12,000 to $15,000 and an income after the fifth year of %6,- 000. The three estimates, while differing in some minor particulars, estimate the capital per acre nearly the Same: the gov- ernment, $240; Mr. Marsd $290, Smith, $270. Se Ge Advice to Prospective Planters. “There is no doubt in my mind—and I think it has been demonstreted—that cof- fee will grow in many parts of the islands, and, if properly cultivated, will bear crops which will compare favorably with those produced in other countries. Still, the in- dustry is s0 young that it is yet a ques- tion what per cent will be realized on the investment. Estimates range from 12 to 75. per cent. This year’s crop will furnish some information as to the value of He- waaian coffee in the markets of the world. The producticn heretofore has been so small that the price which has been paid is no criterion of whet the standard value will be. The prices received have probably been for perfect coffe, the broken berries being reserved for home corsumption. The quaiity of the coffee raised here is of the demonstrate that coffee raising will be profitable. Qne can eventually become a coffee planter on much less if he will raise other produ-ts on which he can quickly re- alize, only planting coffee as Lis means will Permit, a “I visited a place where T saw as fine a lot of corn as ever grew. between one-year-old coffee trees. The owner told me that he got two crops a year, for which he found a reedy sale. The ler produced each year $100 worth of corn per acre. Potatoes would, I am sure, grow well on this land and ccmmand a good price. “There is a class of people in the United sons of health, are compelled to leave thetr Lomes in winter for a milder climate. Cof- fee raising to them, I think, ,would be a good thing. The climate is mild without being encrvating. An investment of from $10,000 to $15,000 would buy place already started which would pay enough to allow of the employment of a competent manager, the expenses of a winter's residence on the place, and more than legal interest on the investment. “To the man who ha» deciced to embark a coffee planter I have a few words of advice to offer. Do not under any circum- stance commit yourself to the purchase of land until you have thoroughly gone over every foot of it, and do not do it then until you have visited all the coffee dis- tricts. While coffee, apparently, will grow in all the districts, you will be surprised to find how much they differ climatically. “One class of men can ccme to the and engage in coffee culture with le: ey than others. I refer to gcod mechanics, They can make enough in one day working at their trade to employ a Japanese a week. A few weeks ago a young man from the United States paid $18,000 for a place in the Olaa district. At the time of the sale, it represented the labor of fcur carpenters for four years. I am told all the capital they had was what they earned during that time working at their trade. One of their rember would work on the place and the others would work at their trade in Hon- olulu at $4 a day.” —_ +0 --_____ NEW YORK DRY DOCK. ‘There is a Strata of Quicksand Under it—The Remedy. The news from Washington that Repre- sentative Hilborn of the House naval com- mittee would introduce a resolution call- ing for a congressional investigation of the alleged defective construction of the New York navy yard dry dock is the sub- ject of quiet discussion among officers at the yard there. One officer said that such a committee as Representative Hilborn would have ap- pointed could do no more than the numer- ous engineers connected with the bureau of yards and docks, who had examined the dock when done, and they all agreed that the dock was faulty in construction. They had long ago decided that if the dock was to be saved it could only be done by converting it into a composite dock by con- creting. Since the dock was built, he said, it had been discovered that there was a strata of quicksand under the flat on which it is located. Besides this defect it was pointed out that after the construc- tion was begun the original plans had been altered so as to increase the area, and at the same time no provision had been made for increasing the strength of the mate- rial to be used. The experience, he con- tinued, with the New York dry dock was not much different from the department's experience with other wooden dry docks in the country. They were all constant! in need of repairs. It had long ago been agreed by the engineers who had exam- ined the dock that the real secret of the faulty construction lay in the fact that the government had attempted to prac- tice a false economy when it ordered a wooden dry dock instead of one of stone. ‘The reason assigned at the time the plans for the big dock were adopted for build- ing it of wood’ instead of stone was that the cost of a wooden dock would be less than half that of a stone dock. The fal- lacy of this argument was now apparent, and that was about all that any congres- sional committee could get out of an in- vestigation. THE EUROPEAN CONCERT. Mr. Chamberlain Calls It a Discredit to All the Powers, Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, defending the gé6vern- ment policy at Liverpool last night against the attacks of the liberals and referring especially to the Armenian and Cretan questions, said: “The impotence of the European con- cert is a discredit to all the powers. The position is becoming intolerable and can- not be allowed to continue indefinitely. Though there would be great risk in tak- ing the alternative course, it may be our duty—I hope it will not—to reserve our right and independence to take isolated actio! The Standard and the Daily News com- menting editorially upon Mr. Chamber- lain’s statement, characterized it as most important and significant. coe —___ Increasing Lake Traffic. The annual report of the board of man- agers of the Lake Carriers’ Association showed that the tonnage in 1897 was 657,- 237 net registered tons—largest in the his- tery of the association except in 1896, when it was 722,863. Small vessels are dropping out and large ones taking their places. The reduction of 15 cents per thousand for grein shoveling at Buffalo had saved to vessel owners over $30,000. eens The Yukon Relief Expedition. It is now proposed to start the govern- ment Yukon relief expedition from Port- land, Oregon, on the steamer George W. Elder, which sails for Skaguay Febru- ary 1. Major Jacobs of Vancouver barracks has engaged transportation on the Elder for 86 men, 200 tons of supplies and 30 mules. The remainder of the mules will not be shipped until a week later, as the Etder’s space has been engaged. It was the original intention to send the ex- pediticn north on the steamer Oregon, sail- ing next Sunday, but owing to inability of the Snow and Ice Transportation Company to get its train in Alaska in time, Gen. Merriam decided to defer sending the men and supplies for the expedition until Feb- ruary 1. es es Bryan Testifies in a Murder Trial.

News of the suicide of Miss Harriet Keith Owens on Monday at Crab Orchard farm, the home of her father, Basil D. Owens, near Washington, Ky., reached Maysville, Ky., last night. Miss Owens had been in poor health for some time, and had to give up her school last fall on that account. She rested unusually well Sunday night and seemed very cheer- ful, eating a hearty breakfast. She read the account of th? shooting of ex- r Joe Biackburn’s daughter, Mrs. Lane, with mvtch interest. After reading about the shooting she went to her brother's room, and, securing his pistol, placed it to ber temple and fired th2 faial shot. Death was instantaneous. Miss Owens was one of the brightest girls in the county, and the Owens family is a prominent one. The tragedy is widely deplored. —_——___-e+ Mr. Trenholm Steps Dow William L.
