Mr.. EDITOR: There appears to
be a great deal of useless and unne-
cessary agitation going on in Homo
lulu just now over extra sessions,
amendments and Chinese restric-
ton, and notice that the parties
most prominent in the movement
are men who are in nowise affected
by the Chinese Except perhaps some
of them contemplate going into the
laundry business), in fact most of
them are not able to hire a celestial
as cook. l would like to hear more
expressions of opinion from our
planting population, men who are
interested throughout the country,
outside of few mechanics, store
keepers land perhaps few lawyers
who have not enough briefs to
occupy their time). We hear no
complaints about Chinese on the
other Islands-in fact at a meeting

Mr.. Kinney's Mistake.

Mn. EDITOR: In the ADVERTISER
of'yesterday morning appears a com
munication from Mr.. w. A. Kinney
in reply to "Teaser," and [ would be
obliged for portion of your space
to make a few remarks.
Mr. Kinney having already entered
the arena as an ant-C Chinese cham
pion, his name at the bottom of his
communication does not adversely
affect him, so long as he continues to
use courteous language; and, for this.
1 give him all due credit.
In the first four paragraphs of Mr..
kinney's letter there are many hap
hazard statements, but nothing
very much out of the way until the
fifth paragraph is reached. In it he
states, "How completely almost all
OF Us become mere parasites as soon
as the country comes to mean its
sugar interests, is more apparent
when one considers that sixty men
tsome non-residents and the majority
of them not American) own an over
whelming majority of the sugar
stock in this country; and that the
sum total of all the stockholders.
big and little, will not exceed six
hundred"
l have quoted the entire paragraph
SO that there can be no mistake re-
gaHding the meaning sought to be
conveyed. The portion of the quota
ton that 1 think damages his entire
communication is where he states
that sixty men (some non-residents
and the majority of them not Amer
lcan) own an overwhelming major
lty Of the sugar stock in the country"
Every man who is at all posted in
such matters knows that these state
ments IN Mr.. Kinney's letter are not
facts His allusion to the majority
of the planters not being American.
Is not only not true; but is also
meaningless as to the point at issue.

of the planters held at Honokaa a
few days ago, they expressed their
regret at the scarcity of Chinese,
and in very strong terms gave it as
their opinion that the Chinese are
by all odds superior to Japanese.
1t appears to me while we are
making so much fuss about
a few Chinese that we are shutting
our eyes to far greater evil and
one that IN a very few years will be
more difficult to handle. l allude
here to the enormous influx of Jap
anese, who are in no respect equal
and in a great many instances, in
ferior to Chinese and are far more
likely to drive white labor out of the
country than ever the Chinaman
was. Let anyone go around the
different plantations to-day and take
look into their carpenter shops,
and other trades, and he will find
five Japs for one white mana thing
never done with Chinese. Again
let anyone visit the jails on the ISL
ands and he will sometimes find
from thirty to sixty Japs locked
up for refusing to work-a thing
unknown with Chinese. Another
great case of complaint against
Chinese was that they sent all their
money out of the country. Well,
just overhaul the money order books
in the country Offices and it will
make your hair stand on end to see
the amount of money sent away by
the Japs. The country wants no
extra session, and a man who could
not sit out last session to a finish
should not be the first one to call an
extra one. The country could much
better spare Messrs. Kalua, Dan
Lyons, W. A. Kinney and few more
of that class, than it can the same
number of hard working Chinese.

affected by the nationality of plan
ters, so long as they are white men
and in Hawaii nei Americans are
foreigners the same as are Euro
peans, while the islands retain an in
dependent government.
[ think that the fifth paragraph,
to which l have referred, spoils the
whole of Mr.. Kinney's letter as to
facts and intent, and 1 think he
could not have given his subject
much study when he wrote his com
munication. Yours, etc.

AMERICAN WEALTH AND RESOURCES.

In extent of territory and sea
coast, variety of soil and climate,
wealth of resources and general in
telligence of her people, the United
States stands second to none of the
great nations of the earth. And
when her commerce shall have reach
ed round the world, and she has a
navy to protect it and the people in
their homes, she will be fitting ex-
ample of the benefcent results of
liberty and freedom under a repub-
lican form of government.
This conclusion would have been
reached ere this had the agricultural
interest of the great interior portion
of our country been better informed
in relation to the effect on their pros
perity of liberal provisions on the
part of Congress toward our mer-
camille marine. Had our farmers
realized that the building of ships
and ship-yards, the opening of a
multitude of iron mines, the build
ing of factories and towns to supply
distant countries with our manufac-
tured products, and the consequent
withdrawal of large number from
overcrowded agricultural persuits to
engage in new enterprises, they
would long ago have persisted in
demanding of Congress better trans
portation facilities by sea. In the
early history of this country, when
the agriculturalists lived near the
sea, commerce thrived.
The advent of more commerce and
an increased navy means the en-
ployment of a multitude of officers,
artisans, men of affairs, seamen and
common laborers-many of whom
may be idle to-day for lack OF en-
ployment. In fact, there is not
calling at present but what would
receive a new impulse leading to
better things. And no one can say
that rendering ourselves independent
as much as possible, and protecting
our lives and property, is not in the
direct line of duty.
We should have Permanent
Bureau of Navigation 20 look after
the interests of commerce, and check
at once any move made by other
countries to our disadvantage.
For 800 years England limited her
registry of vessels to those built at
home and not till 1849 did she find
that permission to register vessels of
every class and country was the first
grand step towards commercial su-
premacy.
1t is possible that the same results
would follow the repeal of our laws
requiring vessels in the foreign trade
to be built and owned by our people
before being registered. 1t requires
time to build and equip vessels, and
there is surplus in the world to-
day. These could be bought cheap
ly, especially after the fiat had gone
forth, that, in the near future, the
United States intended to foster and
encourage her merchant fleet Elk.

A "sUNDOwNER."
That is What Captain schley Says the
Baltimore Is.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 18.-Captain
Schley, recently chief of the Bureau
of Equipment and Recruiting and
now in command of the new cruiser
Baltimore, which made such sue
cessful run last week, was at the
Navy Department to-day. He was
greeted on all sides with congratula-
tions upon the great speed of the
vessel, and assured his friends that
there is no better or sw1fter war
vessel afoat. He said that in his
opinion the ship made even greater
speed than appeared from the record,
for he believed that the patent log,
with $50 feet of line on it, was skip
ping out of the water half the time.
He called his ship a ''sundowner,"
and when asked what this meant, he
explained that a "sundowner" is
ship that makes such fast speed
when she goes west that the sun
never sets on her, and there is al
ways daylight on her decks.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is not my purpose
to answer Mr.. W. A. Kinney's article
in the P. G. A. of the 18th, but a state
ment of his causes some surprise, and
if true will be the means of nullify-
ing the endeavors of this Govern
ment in their contemplated renewal
of the treaty. / have reference to

etc. Is this true? It must be, for
Mr.. K. has abundant means of know
ing, and if it is true, will the oppo-
nents of the Treaty not take advan-
tage of it? Is there not a way to
verify this statement or to refute it?
Who are the owners Of the planta-
tions in this Kingdom? and how

pense of a naval force stationed here

Something About Hongkong.

Mr.. EDITOR: In Mr.. Kinney's
communication to the ADVERTISER of
yesterday morning he says that in
the city of Hongkong mot only the
clerks but also the heads of depart
ments in European wholesale houses
are Chinese, and where ship work in
all its branches is done by Chinese"
This statement is so very far from
the actual facts that it is almost in
credible that Mr. Kinney could have
written it in the expectation of its
being believed by anyone CONVEX
SAINT with the city in question. The
island of Hongkong, situated as it is
at the mouth of the Canton river, is
geographically a part of China and
the population is nearly all Chinese,
kept in order by about 10000 British
bayonets. The European houses
are almost wholly engaged in the
export or shipping trade, and the
managers and clerks are from the
several countries to which the ex-
ports are sent. The same houses
also import from their respective
European countries such goods as
they can sell to Chinese retailers;
but in the European houses none
but the menials and lowest class of
clerks are Chinese. An illustration
of how a white man could direct a
business in which the managers are
Chinese can be had by paying a
visit to the stores of the principal
Chinese merchants of Honolulu.
The visitor would there see at
glance how impossible such direc-
ton would be. The consequence is
that white merchants, whether
American or European, must con
duct their business by the help of
white managers and clerks in any
country OF course, there are mental
and subordinate positions in all
large establishments, which it is
sometimes advisable to fill with
colored labor; but never in the case
of managing clerks or other conf
dental assistants even ID Honghong,
which is practically Chinese city,
SO far as population and commerce
are concerned, and also as being
within the limits of China, two miles
from Chinese imperial territory, and
in the estuary of Chinese river.
"Ship work in all it's branches"
has a wide meaning; but if ship
repairing or ship carpentry is meant,
white labor is employed on all yes
sells having white owners. This in
cludes all deep-water and coasting
vessels, other than Chinese junks
and other native craft.
The political, commercial and
social circumstances of Hongkong
being so very different from those of
the Hawaiian Islands, past, present
or future, the example of that city,
brought forward by Mr.. Kinney, has
no relevancy whatever. Hongkong
produces nothing. 1t is little more
than a barren rock of about six
square miles of area, and is used
entirely as mart for Chinese ex-
ports and imports under the direc-
ton of the government of Great
Britain.
The Hongkong illustration, as
given by Mr.. Kinney, is SO inapplica-
bic and incorrect that it looks some
what as If its introduction was in
tended to mislead. Let us have
facts and applicable examples.

CONFESSED HER PART.
An UnfaithfuI Wife Tells of Her Husbands
Murder.

EAsTON, Pa. Oct 21.-The trial of w. H.
Bartholomew for the murder of Wash
ington billiard was stopped Suddenly to-
day by sensational confession. The widow
of the murdered man come into court de-
termined to go ON the stand andte all she
knew about the murder of her husband,
and plead guilty to murder in the second
degee This was a surprise to the lawyers
and an adjournment was taken until this
afternoon Mrs billiard was then
placed on the stand and she
testifedshe had sustained improper
relations with Bartholomew two years be-
fore the death of her husband. 1t was f.
nally determined to murder billiard and a
fiendish plot was conceived. Bartholomew
fixed Dill ards gun so that it would be
useless and then said he would come to the
house the next night; would make dis
disturbance in the chicken roost, when
Mrs billiard should bring her husband out
with the gun and Bartholomew would kill
him. The programme was carried out; Dill
lard went out with the gun and was shot
dead by his wife S paramour. The woman
broke down several times while telling the
story. Before the murder Bartholomew
wanted to rent the farm so they might all
live together, and when Mrs. billiard
would not agree to that, he wanted her to go
west with him. This she refused to do as
long as her husband lived, and so the muir
der was finally decided on. Mrs Di Hard
is thlrty-two years of age.

RUINED BY THE FLOOD.
1t Will Take Parts of China Fifty Years to
Recover.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia despatch
from Minister DENLY, under date of Aug.
81, referring to the ravages of the Yellow
River, in China, says: The damage
caused by the latest break in its banks is
rrepairabie. Owing to the deposit Of silt,
it is estimated that fifty years must elapse
before the lands inundated will be useful
again for agricultural purposes. A pecu-
liar feature of the trouble is that the de-
posts in the bed of the river are so con-
slant In accretion, that any
system of preventing these
breaks in the banks caused by the rise In
the bed of the river to be effective would
cost a most enormous amount of money.
1t seems likely that a radical system of
prevention of these breaks will never be
adopted and the floods may be expected
each year. Ho-Han, one of the prosperous
provinces, is ruined; Anhul has suffered
terribly and now Shantung is submerged.
The sufferings of ten million people pro-
duced great distress which the means of
the government are inadequate to provide
for. Foreigners have poured out money
literally In contributions to alleviate the
distress.
