JAPANESE FACTORIES.

d. u. Thompson, a prominent resi-
dent and Republican politician of
Portland, Or, eX-United States Min
lister to Turkey, and at one time Re-
Oregon, has lately returned to the
United States, after spending several
months in the Orient. He is alarmed
for America over the remarkable pro-
gress Japan is making in the field of
manufacture. SIN Osaka" he said,
the Japanese are building immense
cotton factories, and they are now
turning out cotton fabrics at cost
that would ruin the cotton manufac-
turers of this country should they be
brought here in sufficient quantities.
Cotton is shipped from this country
to Liverpool, and then from Liverpool
through the Suez canal to Japan. Not
withstanding these freight charges
and the cost of shipping the manufac-
tured article back to this country, the
Japanese manufacturers can undersell
the American manufacturers in our
own markets, simply because Japan
csc worllmen work for 10 and Is cents
day.
81 looked into the bicycle industry
in Japan, concerning which so much
has been said. The japanese are poor
inventors, but clever imitators, and
as American patents and copyrights
are not protected in Japan, the Jap
anese are discovering many ways of
increasing their industrial Importance
by patterning American devices. They
are making very good bicycles in
Japan, the best of which sell for "a
yen, or $17 American money. One of
the bicycle concerns doubled it's cap
ital stock only a few weeks ago, and
they are now preparing to flood the
world with cheap bicycles. 1t is the
same in every other line of industry,
and this country needs a high protec-
tive tariff right away"

A PASSPORT CONVENTION.

Passports are primarily intended
for the purpose of Identification, and
a scheme has been adopted by num-
Der of nations for the simplifying of
the complicated passport in use. A
convention at Washington will decide
whether the United States shall fall in
line with France, Italy, Switzerland,
Turkey, Brazil, Egypt, Greece and
other countries, and have an identi-
fication book which shall enable the
holder to establish his Identification
in no matter what part of the world
he may be. The book is small, green
covered and costs 10 cents. On the
inside of the cover is "A photograph of
the owner, tied in place and fastened
by a sealed ribbon. On the opposite
side is declaration signed by author
tiles stating that the signature and
picture are genuine.

The Hawaiian Planters Association
seems to have secured prize in Pro-
fessor Maxwell, who with a capable
corps of assistants is furnishing eX-
pert advice on cane culture and mill
ing As the director of the well
equipped experimental station, Pro-
fessor Maxwell is literally finding out
things for the planters that mean to
the industry much advantage. The
day of haphazard agriculture has
passed and gone and scientific meth
DDS are the order 1t is pleasing to
observe Hawaii well in the lead.

A wrinkle new to Honolulu
is old blue china. 1t has been
the rage in the United States
for six months past, and in
Europe for as many months
before. It's the sort your great
grandmothers and their child
rem used: except that modern
methods Of manufacture and
decorating enables the potters
to make the pieces thinner
and the decorations finer.
The people who want some
thing finer than may be had
in Delft, can be accommodated
with "Belleek." This is a
much better quality and is
decorated in a more artistic
manner.
For plain every day use,
the Delft is the best, because
it is made to wear and to use.
We have full sets and single
pieces Of it, which will soon
find their way into the homes
of Honolulu. Delft is not a
fad; it was used many years
ago and was fashionable for a
full century before we came
on this mundane sphere. It's
place was taken by other and
Frenchier patterns; now we
are back to the old German
windmill pictures. Come and
see them.

1t appears that Hon. John w. Foster
had but single cable proposition to
make to Hawaii This was rejected
and so far as he was concerned nego-
tiations came to an end. This was
rather surprising, but it was business
like. The Star was told by Mr.. Fos-
ter that upon his return to the United
States he would make public some
views on the relation of the islands
TO that country and on cable as well.
Advices concerning his ideas on these
matters after an inspection of the
field in person will be awaited with
deepest interest. As to closer polit-
zeal union, Mr., Foster went so far as
to say that his opinion was I'M
changed.

The advance opinion of prominent
attorney and public man to the effect
that the present immigration law was
worthless as a practical statute, was
confirmed by the outcome of the Jap
anese habeas corpus case. 1t is made
clear enough that there is no bar
against this class of invaders. The
actual situation seems TO be, then, that
Hawaii must entertain just as many
japanese as care to try fortune in the
Islands 1t is not likely that any
money condition with a stipulation for
possession of less than $500 would le
of effect. For great many years
japanese citizens have very generally
owned land. With this as basis of
security those who wish to try life
in foreign states are readily assisted
by the immigration companies. 1t
would appear that the only relief Ha-
wall can have from the flood is to offer
inducements to other nationalities.

SEVERE ON NATIVES.

The veteran Bishop Taylor is one of
the latest of the prominent and able
men who have attempted to analyze
Dom Paul, the monarch of the Trans
vaal. He says that at $3.50 a. m, when
most presidents and kings are presum-
ably eating their breakfast, Dom Paul
has left his house and appeared in the
executive chamber to attend TO his
duties. Sunday, too, is sometimes a

A picked up lunch is often the de-
light of the housewife, but the hus-
band sometimes tires of it. The mo-
notony may be relieved by any one of
the delicacies prepared by the manu-
facturers abroad. So many things in
tins put up especially for picnickers
answer equally as well for the home
table and add zest to the APPETITE.
Take Thou Marine; Saucisses Truffe
Sardines Au Citrou; Sardines a la
buile; PURGE de Fol Gras; Sardines a
la Tomato, and the husband will
come to lunch when he would other
wise go to the club.

also very good and are well known.
Ham, tongue, chicken, turkey, duck
and game are real delicacies and for
sandwiches nothing can equal deviled
ham, chicken, turkey or lobster.

and Bishop Taylor says he breaches
with ability and power.
But the President, like all his peo-
pie. seems to be rather severe on the
natives in the country. Any black
man who is out at night without a
pass is liable to be heavily logged and
fined, and Bishop Taylor thinks this
it rather hard lines on natives in their
own country.
