The American Fleet of 16 Battle ships Will Mark off Another Stage of Its Globe-Girdling Journey When it Drops Anchor in the Har bor of Honolulu Today. Washington, July 16. The Ameri can fleet of 16 battleships will mark off another stage of its globe-girdling journey when it droyis anchor in the harbor of Honolulu today. Recent dispatches Irom the capital of Hawaii tell of elaborate plans that have been made for the entertainment of the offi cers and men of the fleet during their week's visit there. Ot all the places to be visited by the fleet on its cruise around the world it is sale to say that none offers more attractions for the visitors than Honolulu and the Hawaii Islands, which were annexed to the United States in 1887. The Hawaiian group, tropical, vol canic, beautiiul, lies more than two thousand miles from San Franeisco and about three thousand miles from the nearest mainland to the far West. No where in the world is there to be found a more attractive and delightful country. Sight islands comprise the reup. Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Molokailare the principle ones. Situated within the tropics, but swept by the trade winds, with a boundless expanse of sea on every side, and mountains towering thirteen thousand feet above the ocean level, with an al most daily gentle rain on the wind ward and almost absolute dryness on the leeward side, the whole island group is a natural sanitarium. Oahu is the principal island of the group. The city of Honolulu is sit uated on it, and over two thirds ot tin population and wealth are on this is land. The entrance to the harbor oi Honolulu is one ol the most charming in the whole world. The water is a peculiar deep blue, and the great cres cent bay is iringed by rolling hills that rise one above another and are green thatched by thousands ot picturesque cocoanut trees, waving palms and banana trees. In the background, rearing themselves several thousand feet high, are to be seen torn and ser rated lava mountains, enveloped in verdure of the richest hue, The grandeur of the Hawaiian scene ry was thus graphically described by United States Senator Money of Mis sissippi, who was oneof a party of pub lic men fromthis country who visited the islands whenthe treaty of annexa tion was being arranged. "A visitor.standing upon Haleakala, on the rimjot its stupendous cap, twenty-three miles in circumference, and thousands ol feet deep, can turn from a field of corrugated lava, shining like satin, and achaos of extinct volcanic cones, to a far reaching view of moun tain, plain, sea, and remote islands. Tan thousand feet below, the wrinkled sea changes its deep blue to a border of vivid green, edged with a lace ol milk -whit foam, where the surf breakt in thunder on a lava coast. Along the mountain foot, green fields and whit plantation houses extend down to the ale of Wailuku.! . Tbisis the prospect looking under the clouds; looking Above them, Molokai and Oahu, on the sharp horizon's edge, appear like brown stones in a setting of blue enamel, e Strangely enou'gh, the sea seems to have lilted itself to the moun- - tain's height, and the islands., to float . In a sea aboye the clouds. The tre mendous crater of Kilauea, blotting the sky by day.and illuminating the night with her perpetual fires, sacred to Pele; the immense fields of lava flow from Maunaloa, in their sterility and loneliness; the wild loveliness of the deep valley of lao all these are seenes that fill the mind with wonder and de- - light." . . . i ' , .

Mid-Summer Quint Still Prevails, With Preparations For Fall Trade Stimulated by fiood Crop Prog ress. Special to the Argtjs. New York, July 18. Bradstreet's says today: Trade and industry are still in a condition of midsummer quiet, with preporations for fall trade stimulated by generally good crop progress, go ing forward with confidence, but with conservatism ruling operations pend ing clearer views ot of ultimately crop and political results. Aetivity in re tail trade is centered in the disposol of surplus stocks of summer goods at concessions but reduced public buying ability is reflected in reports from some centres of slow progress in clear ing shelves of goods. Jobbing aetivity is still mainly confined to filling small but frequent repeat orders for summer fabrics, though a few Southern and Northwestern points report enlarge meut of takings lor lall. Wholesale trade is preparing for future shipments but primary i lines of production are running within control and curtailed eutputs are still a feature inmost lines of industry. There is a little more lile in building lines principally South and and West, and yellow pine is firmer with optimist predictions from South ern and Pacifia Northwestern lumber men.

RATES TO BE ADVANCED. CAMP GLENN. First Infantry Moves on More- head City Today. GREAT ACTIVITY IN GUARD HOW IT HAPPENED. Must Raise Freight Sales er Lose $600,000,000 per Year-From 10 to 40 Cents on the Hun dred. . Special to the Argus. Louisville, July 18. All roads op erating South of Ohio and East of Mis sissippi as is announced today, will raise freight rates ten to forty cents per hundred, the advances to become operative, in all probability, about September 1st., as thirty days notice must be given when new tariffs are filed with Interstate Commerce Com mission. The territory affected is controlled by the Southeastern Freight Associ ation and Southeastern Mississippi Valley Association. The railroads are, however, confronted with grave dan ger in making this advance according to Interstate Commerce Commissioner Judson Clements, who says the roads can be brought to book under the Sher man law. James J. Hill, chief owner of the great Northern and Northern Pacific, just back from a fishing trip to Canada, said in New York today "The roads, must raise rates or the country will die. I am not in favor of cutting wages but the railroads of the United States must raise rates or lose $600,000,000 per year, and that loss would eventual ly fall on the American people and cause suffering.

After pitching a game that will win him fame, Umstead added more glory to his name; It was simply great, is what they all say, About that beautiful game, we won yesterday. Although goose eggs did poor Wilson greet, She fought a noble battle before do feat; Amid intense excitement and the great uproar, The former champions were unable to score. They fought like heroes, of wThich we have heard, But the nearest they came to scoring, was to land on third; It was one, two, three, and they were out, And then, the way the fans - would shout. Our crack third baseman with his strong will, Is what carried the corn to old grist mill; Then Umstead showed? how this corn to grind, And that, poor Wilson, is what left you behind. With Umstead on second and Hamil ton at bat. Well fans, we will just let it go with that; For as the sun was slowly sinking in the grand old West, The suspense and agony-was over, and you know the rest. By Emmett R. Brown.
