took pleasure ID Introducing his
guest Col. Macarthur, also. ex-senator
of New York, who was the father of d
siassnaase of his, and was member
Of the Raymond tourist party now
visiting the island
Some OF the numerous bright ideas
pleasfngly advanced by Mr., Macarthur
were that he was much taken with
the amiahility of natives and foreign
ers alike here IN the islands I; that in
travels through the country he had
been struck with the immense possi-
bilities for the development OF it's re-
sources; that though the sugar in
dustry had been largely developed, he
believed that lands above sixteen or
seventeen hundred feet elevation not
available for sugar, could be SO eulti-
waited as to raise products which
would far exceed the value of
the annual sugar crop; that he
believed annexation to be inevi-
table by the law of gravitatfon,
(great appIause), that Is, all ma
items gravirate toward improvement
in all directions. He also said that
the sentiment In the United States
for closer union with Hawaii might
be described as universal rather than
intense or enthusiastic, and be could
see no good reason, if the true facts
were known, why it should not take
place. He believed that at no distant
future the United States woulaf eontro
Il,
Maine to the Behring Strait, etc
