WILL SWEDES FILL THE BILL.

In another column will be found
j letter on the importation of Swed-
Ish laborers for plantations. The
writer is a Norwegian who has had
! large experience with this class
IF labor in his native country, and
his opinion on the subject is worth
considering. While everyone feels
IN instructive objection to compli-
:ating still further the race problem
# the islands by the addition of
lew races, it will be admitted that
his objection applies with little
orce to the Scandinavians, who are
# the same blood as the Anglo
;axons, and share with them to a
arge extent religion, laws and So
,ial ideas and manners. The line
# cleavage in Europe is between
he Germans of the North and the
.atins of the South, and new Ger
nanic elements here, if drawn from
suitable class, would furnish an
cement of social soundness and
olitical force.
There is more than one man in
ais community who enjoys especial
3urces of information on the feas-
nlity of obtaining agricultural
Dor from this direction, and the
lblic would certainly be glad to
put in possession of this knowl-
tge. The subject deserves care
/ investigation.

OYSTERS ARE FAT.
A Trip to Pearl Harbor to Inves-
tigate Them.

Messrs. Armstrong and Marsden
went down to Pearl Harbor yester-
day, the object of the trip being to
make further inquiries into the
matter of oyster culture there. Mr..
Armstrong is an oyster grower
himself and leading expert on
the subject of oyster culture, so
that his favorable opinion carries
much weight. John Colburn has
large number of oysters planted,
and several of these were opened
and carefully examined. Two were
rather poor. but others were fine
specimens of their kind.
When Mr.. Marsden and Mr..
Armstrong reached town, further
examination with the microscope
was made and with very encour-
aging results.

PEACE ON. MAUI.
Mr.. Baldwin Says the Factions No
Longer War.

Mr.. Baldwin is down from Maui
on brief business trip, and he
was seen yesterday by an ADvER-
User man in search of information
on Maui politics. Mr.. Baldwin
says the situation on that island
is very far from being in terri
BILE tangle." Some of the Clubs had
originally organized as Union, and
others as American Union Clubs,
but in all the districts except Wal
luku, the Union Party has carried
the day, so that the Union Party
has practically uncontrolled pos
session of Maui.
In Wailuku a small number of
persons still retain separate or
ganization as a Club of the Americ-
an Union Party, but it is very likely
that the two Clubs will soon unite.
Each Club dominates delegates
to attend a nominating Conven-
ton. A Convention of about thirteen
delegates was to be held at Wal
1uku last night, to name the four
Maui candidates for the Constitu-
tional Convention.
Mr.. Baldwin explains the posi-
ton held by himself and others
very clearly. He says that the
planters, while in favor of import
ing Asiatics for agricultural pur-
poses only, cannot find themselves
to exclude them altogether, until
they know that they can get other
labor. GA man doesn't let go with

cost of the sugars totally consumed in
making 100 pounds of refined cane sugar
we have to make the necessary allowance
and arrive at the true quantity consumed,
which is 10S O5 pounds. The latest London
quotations for 96-degree centrifugal shows
81 90 per 100 pounds and for refined So 81
per 1C0 pounds.
This shows difference of a cents on
100 pounds, adding TO the raw sugar price
the necessary amount to allow for the
quantity actually required; i. e., 10S.05
pounds of raw at So 90, and you have IS II
to cover the cost OF the sugar and 20 cents
left over for the cost of refining 100 pounds
of refined sugar.
Taking the value of the raw cane neces-

L. e., S3 II. the duty of 40 cents amounts to
81 .268. The refined, costing So 81 per 100
pounds. at 40 per cent pays a duty of

can lefiner cents per 1L0 pounds protection

ONE MORE BLUNDER.
Democrats Oppose the Recognition
of Hawaii.
Queen LiIiuokaIani's Commissioners
Call on Gresham and Are Re.
ceived Very Pleasantly.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The resolution
for the recognition of the Hawaiian Re-
pU blic. introduced in the House by Bou-
telle. was sidetracked by the Committee
on Foreign Affairs to-day. After two
hours discussion the Dem ocrats carried q
motion to adjourn by a party vote. except
that Of Geary of California, who voted
with the Republicans.
Mr.. Geary furnished the most interest
ing passages of the discussion as he did t
the first meeting. He informed his Demo-
cratic colleagues frankly that Mr.. Bontele
had introduced the resolution hoping and
expecting tho Democrats would reject it.
For one be did not propose to help fulfill
Mr.. Boutelle's desire to furnish the Repub-
licans with campaign material.
"We might as well admit that the Demo-
cratic party has blundered in its treatment
of this Hawaiian question:" said Mr. Geary,
land we cannot afford to make another
blunder."
He declared that the Democratic record
upon the question was exceedingly unpop-
ular; that the people were all opposed to
the Presidents course. and that it was a
very hard question for Democratic Con-
gressmen of California to meet and ex-
plain. He would refuse to be q party to
another blunder. When be had finished
M. Voorhis (R) of New York. who had
made the motion to report the question,
rose to say that he indorsed what Mr..
Geary had said about Dem ocratic blunders
and supposed another blunder would be
made by labling the resolution.
The Hawaiian Royal Commissioners to-
day had a pleasant and entirely informal
conference with Secretary Gresham. at
which Hawaiian affairs were discussed.
Mr.. Widemann did most of the talking for
this Commissioners.
The Secretary questioned the Commits
sioner closely as to the authority by which
he appeared. what the commission was
doing here and as to Hawaiian affairs
generally. To all these questions Wide
mann responded freely. aud among other
things disabused the Secretary's mind of
the impression that the commission was
seeking to influence Congress in the ex-
Queens favor. The interview was char
acterized by the best of feeling. AS Wide
mann has been given to understand the
commission cannot be dealt with officially
by the department. there is ground for the
presumption that the mission is at an end.

CLARENCE HAS WEAKENED.
Says He Only Ruled in Default of
Some Other Ruler.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Bluefelds
writes July % that the outlook for an
amicabe settlement is very promising.
Both the English and American naval
commanders have written to General
Cabezas protesting against an attack upon
an unfortified town and announcing their
intention to protect foreign interests.
The situation is further simplified in
Chief Clarence's disavowal of the recent
revolution, stating it was the work OF his
people, and that he only:consented to gov.
ern as there was no regular Government
on hand and it was absolutely necessary to
preserve the peace. While this claim is
not borne out, it has had the effect of
withdrawing even the moral support of
the Americans. Clarence also disclaims
that he is having any arms sent to him
from any quarter.
Colon, Aug. 4.-According to advices
received here affairs in Bluefields have
taken q serious turn. A British officer
who arrived at Port Limon yesterday
cabled to the Admiralty in london tha
the entrance to the port of Bluefelds has
been seized by 800 troops, under command
of the President of Nicaragua Marines
from the American and British warships
have been landed for the purpose of pro-
tecting the interests Of the United States

Carroll Cook objected to further discus

Lesher case was dropped. Lesher himself

DENY THE STORY.
The Administrator Has Not Entered
Into a Foreign Alliance.


Into a Foreign Alliance.
WASHINGTON, Aug. A strong denial
is entered at the State Department of the
published story that The United States will
enter into a treaty with the European
powers to forcibly occupy and keep open
the treaty ports of China. 1t is also de-
MED that overtures to that end have come
from other countries. When war was only
threatened the United States used its good
offices to avert evil. 1t did so to carry out
the solemn obligation imposed by the
treaty with Korea made in 1882. 1t was
under its terms the President indicated
to Japan that he would be panied should
she infict an unjust war upon Korea.
That was as far as the United States
could 60.
