On Tuesday morning onr reporter called upo,

courteously received. The Senator express.I
his surprise that journalism ia Honolulu b,d
advanced to such II stag ass.intervicwing public
men and thought that was confined only TO A rc,-
lea. Our reporter stated TINT we were trying +,
infuse n little Lie an energy into the usual i,J.
trot of Hawaiian newspaperlom and then asked

points. l wished To go to Hawaii but my time
is limited. The system Of cane cultivation here
is different to that Of America and depends up
no irrigation, the yield here being superior aud
larger to the acre per ton of cane than in Louisi-
ana. Tn climate lis very we'll adapted for sugar
cane growing, the only trouble as far as | can
see being the limited amount-of land on account
of the mountainous nature of the country aud the
scarcity of water. d"
THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.
VIA; is Your opinion of the Treaty between
the Unite1 StItsS an thA HlgLiian Islands?
think the Treaty will b. permitted t. stand
unless nbrOgated by affirmative action on tue
part of the United States. 1t requires one years
notice To be given of ire al continuance aud u,n.
has yet been given. | think the advantages of
the Greaty are reciprocal; in dollars aud cents IL
may be to the greater advantage of Hawaii hut
there are other interests to be considered which
enter into the question of reciprocity and ia
which our nation is chiefly interested. Our
tradewith the Htwaiian Islands Is increasing
and there is no reason why American enterprise
should not domiul ate the commerce Of these is
lands,
TIE GENHRIL FRELING.
In Am 'rlcl Is IA fav'r of reciprocity, and the
opposition t. tI. treaty arises mainly from
three classes, the chief Of whom ARE the sugar
refr erS of New YJ:k. Mkt com. the sugar
planters of L1li1ian., ,lI third ~. the high
protectiOnists OF tLe ULit.l safes, who have "A

tectiOnist system. This hitter class Is no.
numerous the manufacturers aud ltborers OF
the United States, whose interests nre chiefly
built up in the protective system, but must al
timltely see that the effect of reciprocity With
Hawaii is to extent our m trket for American
Manufactured pro ducts.'
