Minister Irwin's Opinion of A.ano's
steamer Line.


steamer LIue.
r. W. Irwin, Hawaiian Minis
ter to japan, is in the United
States, having gone there to escort
his daughter on a visit to his
mother and sister at Washington,
d. G. He was interviewed by the
leading papers in San Francisco.
To a Chronicle reporter he argued
down the opinion extensively
published that Count Ito had re-
tired from the premiership of
Japan in consequence OF the
establishment by Russia of vir-
tual protectorate over Corea. The
following extracts from the inter-
view are highly interesting:
"The statement that Russia has
established a suzerainty over Co.
rea is incorrect, although the fact
that the King is housed in the
Russian Legation might lend Gre
dence to that supposition. Japan's
ambition does not extend TO Corea.
American Influence is uppermost
in the kingdom, and | am credib-
ly informed that the King is act.
ing entirely under the advice of
three Americans, Minister Sill,
the Secretary of the American
Legation and an American mis-
sionary by the name of Under
wood"
Mr.. Irwin says that Japan's sole
ambition now is toward CONNER
cial and industrial advancement.
The Government is encouraging
the construction, operation and
maintenance of railroad and
steamship lines and manufactur-
ing industries. He declares, how
ever, that false impression has
been gained of the extent and i'm
portance of the steamship subsi-
dies recently offered.
''The subsidies offered are en-
tirely inadequate for the purpose
of maintaining powerful line of
transpacitic steamers" he declar-
ed. "The Nippon Yusen Kaisha,
which has undertaken to run a
line of ships between Japan and |
Seattle, will think better of the
project before two or three years
are past, and the company which |
is headed by S. Asano will, in my
honest opinion, never materialize.
1t will be many years before San
Diego is. the terminus of any
japanese transpacifc steamship |
line that Asano or any other Japa-
nese capitalist or corporation may |
establish. Asano's undertaking |
is largely a myth.
"Just now the transsiberian
railroad is attracting considerable |
attention in the Orient. | believe
that in three years the
transsiberian railway willbe com
pleted to Vladivostok and to
port on the Yang-Tse river, pro-
badly Hankow. 1t stands to rea.
son that the road will tap China
if it wants to get business. Its
terminus will not be an open port
in Corea. 1t will be port on
the Yang-Tse river, the tea mark
ct of the world. Russia will
build from the MongoIian frontier
to Peking with French capital and
China will build from Peking to
Hankow or some point near by
on the river with British capital.
That is the present fixed program
and Ii Hung Chang will see it
carried out il he lives a few years.
He said as much when he was in
China's part of the
program can only be cousummat
ed by doubling her customs du-
ties. She is now taking steps
toward the accomplishment of
that"

Dan Lamont thinks we need more
coast defenses. Dan is one of the
sbrewdest most careful and efficient
members of Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet,
and. therefore. when he says, as he does
i'm his annual report, that the country S
necessities require an appropriation Of
$4,000 600 in addition to the S12,O00,OOO
concentrated at the last session of Con
eress for the construction of coast de-
lenses in order to more efrectually
guard our coasts from invasion, the
great majority of people need no fur
ther assurance that the money is need
ed and should be forthcoming.
The urgent need of constructing suf-
fcient emplacements at smaller ports
for the installation Of guns sufficient
io drive away small cruisers is dwelt
uDon. Secretary Lamont shows con
clusively the Importance of manufac-
turing modern great guns sufficient
in number to meet all exigencies OF
coast defense. He gives an interest
ing and detailed account of the progress
which is making for better protection
against invasion.
II the governments plans for protec-
lion are carried out, Secretary Lamont
feels confident that, when the new cen
turv begins. every important port on
the Allan ic seaboard will be invulner-
able TO the strongest fleets.

railroads. or blast furnaces as to be IN
the banking business.
There are two prominent ideas; one
is that held by the Populists that all
money should be issued by the general
government and in very large guam
titles and be tredeemable. This pol
icy Of course contrayenes the expert
ence Of the world. The business world
wants and has always had currency re
deemable in coin. There is no safety
in printing presses when applied to
money There must be q limitation in
the quantity such as is found in the
production Of gold and silver. No skill
/ or ability has ever been able to increase
the amount of these two metals be-
yond the wants of the world for them
as money metals. and it never will. So
the safest limitation is the redemption
/ of all currency in coin.
A commission thoroughly non-par-
tisan. to create a monetary system for
the United states would be a move In
the right direction. and the direction
in which that commission should move
is that there should be but one kind of
paper currency instead of nine. as we
now have. There should De but one
redemption. and that I'm coin. The Wis
est policy would Dee 20 perfect the ma
uoneI Dan liking system under free
banking 'aw SD that any one or any
number cf citizens would have equal
--fs iu ols into The banking busi-
ness.
