MINISTER THURSTON,
He VIII Probably he COurteOusly
Treated by OHcials.

There is no reason to suppose that Min
lister Thurston will not be properly received
at the State Department. although many of
his private comments on the Hawaiian pol
Icy Of this administration have undoubtedly
been displeasing to the Secretary of State
there Is nothing in his official conduct that
would Justify a severance of the entente
cordiale between the representative of two
governments on an outwordly friendly foot
Ing Mr.. Thurston's public utterances were
merely responsive to public utterances of
the Secretary of State and are subject only
to the same criticism.
No one questions the right of a diplo-
matte representative to reply to assaults
on mis- government and in the same way
Minister Willis is accredited to the pro-
visional government of Hawaii and Min
lister Thurston is accredited by that gov
eminent to the United States: Each has
been formally received by the govern
ment of the other and there is no reason
to believe that the consideration accorded
to the one at Honolulu will be denied to
the other at Washington. Minister Thurs
tons position is much stronger than that
Of Minister Willis for the simple reason
that his government has never offended
In any particular against the United
states, whereas the latter, acting through
Minister Willis has sought to destroy the
government of Hawaii in the interest of
the former monarchy.
lnaSmucn as the Hawaiian government
has so far overlooked the efforts of Minis
ter Willis for its destruction, 1T is regarded
as reasonable that this government will
similarly overlook Minister Thurston's pa
triotic stand in support of his own govern
ment.
There would have been no surprise IL the
Hawaiian government had declared Minister
Wills persona non grata and had furnished
him his passports. but as that government
was lenient enough to condone his efforts
for its overthrow II is wellnigh absurd 10
suppose that this great government will
vent It's spite on the representative of the
Hawaiian government merely because he
undertook to show that it's cause was just
and worthy of support.
Minister Thurston had not appeared at
the State Department up to 1 o'clock this
afternoon. Secretary Gresham was busy
IN his private office al, day and excused
himself to a number of callers including
several members of the diplomatic CCrrs
1t was stated at the department that Mr.
Thurston Is officially recognized rs the Ha-
waiian minister and will be received as
such whenever he chooses to call

DEATH OF HELEN SHAFER.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. ga rumor has
reached here from Honolulu by the steamer

Gen. Ruger, who is in command of the
army Of the Pacific, said that he had heard
nothing OF the rumor. Col. Shafter has a
life position in the army. and 1t is hardly
likely that he would be willing to resign
his command here for one at the Hawaiian
Islands.

Suggestions Made by the Federation
of Labor ON the Subject.
The Federation of Labor at a recent
meeting adopted a number Of suggestions
relative to the proposition made by the
Builders Exchange to improve the present
condition of the building industry, which
were directed to be submitted to the Build
ers' Exchange and all the labor organiza-
tons of the District. The suggestions in
brief are to the effect that the interest rate
on loans be reduced; that rents be lowered /;
that the tax on improvements be either done
away with or largely reduced that the hold
ing Of property for speculative purposes be
discontinued; that real estate brokers re-
duce their commission for sales and the
collection of rents.
In the opinion of the federation a reduc-
ton of the pay of a wage worker as a pro-
ducer would be unjust and inadmissible If
he was not compensated by an equitable re-
duction Of the cost of things necessary to
him as consumer. 1t is suggested that
these questions be considered by those par
ticipating in the proposed conference.
