HAWAIIAN LABOR PROBLEMS
Floating Japanese Population an
Important Factor.
Labor Commission Will EndeavOr to
Make an Estimate-Many Statistics
Obtained-PIantersR Reply.

The third meeting of the Labor
Commission since it's organization
was held last evening. The various
provisions of the law under which
the Commission is to act were dis
cussed also the question as to
what are the most important mat
ters that should be brought before
the Legislature, which meets in
January. The general opinion was
to the effect that it is of vast inn
portance to the country to learn
the occupation of the floating popu-
lation of Japanese, amounting to
between 1000 and $4,000 men.
This includes all Japanese not un-
der contract labor.
A census of the Japanese would
give the required information; but
this method is too expensive, and
it would be impossible to finish the
work in time for the report. 1t was
decided to make the estimate as
nearly as possible through census
reports already made and with the
aid of such information as can be
obtained from the Japanese Com
missioner, and the views of the
planters and business men of the
islands.
The general condition of labor in
the country was debated, and the
probability of supplying the de-
mand for workmen with the Euro
peans and Americans.
The Commission is gathering
statistics on the various subjects
which it has under consideration.
and have already received great
number of returns from the planta'
tions. The planters have been very
prompt in their reply to the circu
lars sent out, and have thereby
aided materially in making it pos
sible for a very comprehensive re
view of the situation to be sub
mitted to the next Legislature.

DISCUSSING LABOR PROBLEMS.
Members of Planters Labor &. Sup
nlY CompanY Meet the Cabinet.

The importation of Portuguese
labor formed the leading topic of
discussion at the Cabinet meeting
yesterday afternoon. Members of
the Planters Labor and Supply
Company were present to exchange
ideas with the officials of the Gov
eminent. The latest advices from
Minister Thurston are favorable to
obtaining labor from the mainland
of Portugal. Nearly all the Portu
guese inhabitants of this country
came from the Azores or Madeira
Islands. The planters, while not
favorable to an increase of Japan
ese labor, are not anxious for a
large influx of Portuguese, owing
to the high prices which these la
borers command. The situation in
all its phases was discussed thor
oughly, but no definite action was
taken. Additional advices are ex-
pected from Minister Thurston on
the arrival of the Oceanic.

to Hilo in thirty hours, arriving at
S o'clock in the evening. People who
have travelled to Hilo will understand
and appreciate this great change. OF
course it is going to cost the Wilder
Company some money to run the ves-
sci at this rate. It is figured that the
cost of coal will be increased at least
forty per cent. Another change will
be in the days of departure from Hilo.
The Kinau will arrive here on Tues
days and Fridays instead of Wednes-
days and Saturdays, as has been the
rule. This announcement of the short
run to Hilo will be hailed with salts
faction by island people, and particu-
larly by those who journey to the
Volcano. The latter will now have a
good nights rest at Hilo before start
ing for Madame Pele, instead of being
hustled off as soon as the boat lands
in the morning.
President Wight, of the steamer
company, will soon go on tour of in
spection, and when he returns more
changes will probably follow.
One of the most important bits of
shipping news that has been an
nounced in some time is the appoint
ment of Kenneth Wallace to the pur-
sership of the steamer Claudine. The
present purser, Charles Kibling, will
be transferred to the Kinau to assume
the duties of freight clerk, the posi-
ton now held by Mr.. Wallace. The
change takes effect on the return OF
the Claudine from Maui. She will be
due here on next Sunday morning.
This is a reward for long and faith

The Hackfeld's Captain Dead

An Eastern paper contains the
following brief dispatch: THE
mate of the German bark H. Hack
field, which sailed from Hor gkong
on October 21st, cabled from AMER
that Captain Hilgerlich, of the
Hackfeld, had dropped dead"
The Hackfeld was in port here
some months ago. She arrived on
June 9th from Liverpool, with a
cargo of merchandise. She was
then commanded by Captain
Kruse After discharging she
loaded sugar for San Francisco.
Captain Hilgerlich must have
joined her there.
