It was given out unofficially today that the old sugar plantation at Katn- alo, on the Lahaina side if Molokai island, is soon to be revived.

The mill and plantation buildings were burned to the ground a few years ago and the cattle wero turned in on the cane fields. The loss to the owners of the plantation was not total, as the property was insured for $23,000. Since the fire no effort has been made to start the plantation until now. The place has become ranch; the land belonging to the McCorriston llrothers and Deputy' Sheriff George Trimble of Molokai. Prank Poster, who is associated with these gentlemen, was in the city few days ago from Molokai and lie confirmed the report concerning the plantation to one or two parties.

About acres will be put under cultivation to begin with and it is understood that a mill will be erected this year. Molokai has been a much neglected island. Because the' lepers are segregated at Kulanpapa, the Impression seems to prevail that the entire island is occupied by tne leper settlement. This is not the case. Only a small peninsula on the north and two deep valleys walled in by lofty cliffs between two and three thousand feet high, are used for the unfortunate lepers.

The island has remained undeveloped in spite of the great possibilities offered there. At Kamalo, where the new plantation is to be started, the climatic conditions and character of the soil aro very similar to those at Olowalu, on Maui, a place noted for its success in sugar cane cultivation. About Kaunakakai, on Molokai, has also been discovered to contain soil and other conditions suitable to the raising of cane. True, there is a lack of surface water, but artesian wells can be made to overcome this drawback. There are many other places on Molokai on which coffee, fruits and vegetables can be raised successfully.

The resolution provides: "That Con gress doth consent that the territory properly included within and rightfully belonging to the Republic of Hawaii may be received and become a part of the United States; and when ever the President and Legislative De partment of the Republic of Hawaii shall cede to the united States by proper enactment all of the territory embraced within said Republic, and shall surrender all Governmental powers and functions and the sovereignty of the Republic, the said territory shall be received into the Union and become part of the United States, and it and the people residing thereon shall be subject to the jurisdiction of Congress, which may make all needful rules and regulations for the government of the same. "As soon as said cession shall have been made, the President of the United States is authorized, and he is hereby directed, to issue a proclamation declaring that said Hawaiian islands belong to and are a part of the United States; and he is also authorized, and hereby directed, to take possession of and occupy the territory ceded by the Republic of Hawaii, and for that purpose to employ any part of the Army and Navy of the United States.

San Francisco, May 18, '07. At this time there is another beet migur boom being mushroomed in tho unneii states. i It will be remembered that there was organized a beet sugar corporation about fifteen years since, with an Immense capital, and Claus Spreck-l'Is as President, 'fhe effect of the promises of the big company to erect a dozen or more sugar plants created a boom on paper, but from appearances it was nil a "bluff," for thu great Occidental Beet Sugar Company went to sleep. Is the. present move another bluff? Has Claus Spreekels already sold out, to the Sugar Trust? Is the new boom being engineered by the Trust with Mr.

Spreekels as director Henry Oxnard, one of the Oxnard Brothers, alleged owners of the Clilno beet sugar plant of Southern California, is now in Washington with J. 1). Spreekels working to have the Hawaiian commercial treaty abrogated. Mr. Oxnard denies that the Trust, owns fhe stock of the Chino Company.

Mr. Robert Oxnard, who is secretary of the Western Sugar Refinery, supposed to be owned by Claus Spreek els, affirms the statement of his broth but admits that the Trust handles all the refined sugar of both companies. Recently representatives of the Trust have been inspecting tho beet sugar industry very carefully. They inspected the prospects of Spreekels' new enterprise at Salinas, where lias has commenced to build the largest and most, complete sugar plant in the world, according to his own statement. It is now admitted that the Trust has purchased a "small" in Spreekels' Watsonville beet, factory but knowing ones "wink the other eye," not believing that they would buy any but a controlling interest.

Many believe that Claus Spreckles has completely sold out to the Trust, conditionally. The Alameda Beet Sugar Company at Alvarado, is as yet Independent of the Trust. Mr. Louis Saroni, wlio handles all of the output of the Alvarado plant, is strongly in favor of the Hawaiian treaty. The farmers in the sugar beet districts criticise Mr.

Spreekels severcl. They are aware of the fact that Mr. Spreekels paid less for beets at his factory when lie received from the Government $-) a ton for his output, under the McKinley act, than before, and grasped the opportunity to reduce the price of beets from $. to a ton, when the bounty act. was abrogated.

Their effort to obtain a better price for their product wns defeated by Mr. Spreckles leasing large tracts of lands and employing Chinese labor to plant beets. Many thought it wrong to deduct 15 per cent for dirt, and that in eases Mr, Spreekels compelled the growers to dig their beets before they hud matured, causing serious loss. Owing to the low prices prevailing for other farm products, it. was useless to devote he land to other purposes.

According to Rudolph Spreekels, the Watsonville plant paid 80 per cent last year, and the fanners think they are entitled to a better share of the profits for wearing out their laud to enrich Mr, Claus Spreekels. Mr. Spreekels held out to the people of Salina, Monterey County, that If they could get a certain number of acres pledged under contract to raise beets that he would build them the largest factory in the world. After much persuasion and loss of time, the citizens finally succeeded in meeting the demands of Mr. Spreekels and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company were induced to agree to haul beets at SO cents a ton to the factory within twenty-five miles.

Now the people are wondering what would be the result if Mr. Spreekels lias sold out to the Trust. In a future letter will endeavor to show that the possibility of the beet sugar Industry is limited. Ts it not. probable that were there lands suitable for raising beets for sugar, whero climate and other conditions made it possible, that the Industry would not be of more Importance than at present? 1 W.

A. GREENE. Weekly Star, per year. The Australia's mail brought the monthly circular of Williams Dlmond Company, which states that the re ceipts of raw sugar have continued to be unprecedently large, and for the week ending May 7 had reached tons, making the total stock nt Atlantic ports at that timo 518,0000 tons, which figure will be Increased the tariff bill goes into effect, and consequently foreign markets will have little demand from this country for sonic months to come. The latest from New York state that the market for raws is steady and firm, with further transactions in all grades, and witli no indications but that the present firmness will be maintained pending further light upon the tariff question.

In speaking of Hawaii, Williams, Diinond say: "In addition, sugar receiving an export bounty from countries pay a surtax equal to such bounty. The time for fhe tariff bill to take effect, is July 1, 1807. The exemption clause of the House bill relating to the Hawaiian treaty is completely left out and this is considered as equivalent fo the abrogation of the treaty. Should flic bill finally pass without the exemption clause, the question as to the effect on the treaty would possibly be decided by the Supreme Court, as it is claimed by some authorities thnt a special act would be required to abrogate the treaty. There is very great objection to the new sugar schedule, as it seems to be a purely Trust measure, and gives them a differential duty of per pound, which is even more than under the present tariff.

Tt is therefore very doubtful if the bill can pass without being modified, and (his is bound to cause further delay. A strong effort is now being made fo restore the exemption clause and it is believed on good information that the friends of reciprocity have sufficient votes in the Senate to accomplish this and thnt the House will not pass a tariff measure containing the abrogation of the Hawaiian treaty. As mutters now is likely to be the middle of July or August before I he bill is finally passed and approved fhe President." Til NEW MINISTERS COMING. Col. A.

The vigilance of the Customs officers in capturing 100 tins of opium on the Australia's last trip was due, it is learned from the San Francisco papers, to the foresight of Cnpt. Howard, superintendent of the Oceanic, dock. He overhauled a member of the erew going aboard the night before the steamship sailed with twenty tins of opium in his possession. The Customs authorities were notified anil made nn investigation, but on finding that the stuff was stamped, let it go.

Steward Seeli'y was instructed to notify the Customs authorities here, which lie did, before the vessel entered the harbor.
