The ADVERTISER crusade on the
Japanese women who infest nearly
every business street in Honolulu
is not without its supporters. The
average man is willing to tell what
he thinks of it, but he objects to
have his name mentioned. And
the opinions vary according to the
extent of the business or social re-
lations the men have with the
Japanese. One man said Pauahi
street had been given up to that
class of tenants long ago, and it
was just as we'll to let them alone
but when he was asked about Nuu-
anu, Beretania, Hotel, and the
other streets where these creatures,
registered and otherwise, ply their
vocations, he agreed that it was
time the matter was taken in hand.
Another business man, whose
employees are nearly all Japanese,
was in accord with the movement,
and thought the time had arrived
when the women should be segre-
gated. The "act to mitigate, he
said, "has not proven all that was
expected of it, but if this class of
cattle was in one locality, set apart
for them, the Government could
enforce the law without difficulty,
and a great deal better than it is
enforced now."
Still another believed the women
were all right where they are.
They disturb no one, they are quiet
and unlike the same class in other
nationalities they do not get drunk
and raise disturbances in the
This gentleman's
opinion was rather different from
that of his neighbor who said in

Touching the negotiations for gen
eral arbitration treaty for the settle
ment of all future disputes between
the United States and Great Britain,
Secretary Olney says that both coun-
tries having given repeated proof of
their asquiescence in the great prin-
ciple involved. not only by treaties be-
tween themselves, but severally by
concluding like adjustments with
other powers for the adjudication Of
disputes resting on law and fact, the
subject was naturally approached in Il
benevolent spirit of agreement, and
the negotiations have so satisfactorily
progressed as to foreshadow prac-
teal agreement at an early date upon
the text of convention to the desired
end.

CABLE.

The Oregonian newspaper of Port
land seems disappointed and angry
that John w. Fosters cable errand to
Hawaii was not success. The Port
land print has been a good friend of
the Islands in the days past and The
Star has reason to believe it will con
tinue an advocate and defender. The
Oregonian speaks warmly on cable
and goes to length that would indicate
it is not so fully informed in the prem
Uses as it might be. Hawaii is too in
dependent in her cable attitude to suit
the Sound newspaper and comment of
the latter is presented for general in
formation and because it must be adj
mitted that there is always more than
one view of a given situation or prop
osition to consider:
at is an unpleasant thing for com
munities to be beholden to corpora
ton, but this is sometimes the only
way to get things done. Companies
do not build Trans-Pacifc cables for
the health or from motives of philan-
thropy, and if Hawaii is waiting for
a cable contract in which the benefits
shall be all on its side, it will wait till
doomsday. 1t appears that the island
government magnifies its geographical
position, and forgets that corporations
do not engage in vast expenditures
without prospect of commensurate
gains. 1t may even be doubted wheth-
er the expense of cable will pc
shouldered without an exclusive fran
chise, though this may seem to the
Government like being bound hand
and foot
Hawaii hopes for sympathy in its
policy from this side of the Pacific.
But it will not get much if its greed
or blindness delays an American cable
until another British line is built, all
because American capital seeks profit
and protection for its proposed invest
ment. 1t is not impossible that the
United States may have something tC
say about these same cable projects
The new Administration goes into
power on a platform which declares
the Hawaiian Islands should be con
trolled by the United States, and nj
foreign power should be permitted tC
interfere with them Hawaii hopes
for annexation, or at least protector
ate. But neither end will be facilitated
by its throwing obstacles in the way
of a connecting cable"

ASSESSORS.
The Tax CATERERS VIII Meet to
Make Plans for Next Year.

The tax assessors from the other
islands are arriving in Honolulu to
meet in conference on Monday morn
ing with Jonathan Shaw, tax assessor
of the Island of Oahu. The meeting
will be for the purpose of making
final arrangements for the putting in
to effect of the new tax law the first
of the year.
The new tax law raises the tax on
sugar plantations considerably and at
the annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association, recently
held in this city, the members criti-
cised freely the new law.
The tax assessors were invited to
confer with the planters and after a
thorough discussion of the matter and
mutual concessions, an understanding
was reached.
Tax Assessors C. II. Dickey of Maui
and II. S. Austin of Hawaii are at pres
ent in the city. The Kauai tax asses
sor is expected tomorrow.

offset the selfshress, design, cunning
and adroitness of those who would
raise false and absurd issues and in
still foul prejudice. It is gratifying
to notice that less than half dozen
of the law givers of the United States
seem adverse to annexation. There
are several hundred men in Congress
and much effort has been made, often
in a questionable manner, to influences
them against "closer political union"
1t will be seen that practically no
progress at all has been made in that
direction. Those California opponents
some rospective-can, and in due
time will, be sharply called to book.
That State favors annexation. Those
of her Senators or congressman who
go against it violate the trust inn
posed in them and as well show they
are controlled by personal or corpora
ton influences.

GOOD CHEER.

The Star is able to offer several OBJ
servations that should add cheer and
courage to the AnneXationists. The
Honolulu opposition, from one cause
the point of disappearance. OF course
few Of The recruits are governed by
mercenary motives. But the great
majority are genuine converts. They
have studied and argued and searched
and considered till they have come 10
the conviction that it is best for Ha-
waii. all things calculated, to become
a sovereign state of the great Amer
lean Union. The change i'm the temper
of the natives is pronounced. Four,
three and two years ago, when they
were told their property was to be
cOntiscated and they themselves driven
to the mountains, they attached some
credence to the poison being instilled
into their minds. Now they are be-
ginning to see clearly that their true
and real friends are the Annexation
lists. Hundreds of then he ,etoforc
under evil and dishonest influence are
coming around to a realization of con
ditions and the necessity for a closer
alliance with the United States. In
dealing with them patience and perse-
verance, not to say indulgence an'
sagacity are required to meet their
racial traits and characteristics and tc

half of Honolulu was coming
in to buy them. But that's
what happened. The people
wanted high class groceries at
low class prices, and they
have learned that our adver-

Our stock for the Christmas

giving. We are prepared to
furnish everything at low

goods.
What we offer are things
hard to get along without
things needed for the big din

A NEW GAS.
Experiments with 1t Result in a
Terrific Explosion.
Machine Shop at New Haven, Conn.
Wrecked and Four Persons
Lose Their Lives.

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 21. - Two
terrific explosions occurred on Crown
street, just below the Registers office,
at 1o:40 Tuesday morning. Pfeghar's
machine shop was totally destroyed.
The building was of brick, four-stories
high and about As feet square. 1t is
thought the fire was started by naph-
tina, or some other intiaMmable SUBJ
stance. The first explosion set the entire
building ablaze and instantly the
flames were pouring from all the win
dows. The entire fire department WIS
on the spot in five minutes.
just us they arrived the second ex-
plosion occurred, bursting the walls
and endangering several of the largest
blocks in the city, which stand ada
cent. Within Is minutes it is esti-
mated that 10000 persons blocked the
passageways near the building.
1t is thought all the employees es-
capped, though all have not been ac-
counted for. Most of them made their
escape by back staircase. Frank
Pfeghar, the senior proprietor, was
severely injured and was carried home
in hack. Patrolman Charles Bowers
was also injured. Fireman Allen saw
the blaze just after the first explosion
and rang the alarm. The New Haven
Gas & Water company's building is
on one side and Little Orange and
Crown streets are on the other.
Tool Maker Killed.
Inthe machine chop of Frank Pfeghnr
new gas machines were being put in
order. While Joseph Hauser, tool
maker, was ut work on one it exploded
with terrific report. The whole front
of the building seemed to bulge out.
and fragments of heavy plate-glass
windows were hurled across the street
against the Chamberlain building and
into Orange street. Hauser was killed
by the explosion, His right leg was
torn off at the ankle and the left leg
twisted under him. Charles Fox, the
engineer, although cut and bleeding
himself, carried the dead man out of
the building, which was then rapidly
being enveloped in flames. Hauser
was 40 years of age and had wife and
two children. There were employed
in the building in all so men, and all
of these, including the hapless Hapser,
have been accounted for. The Qrst
great explosion was followed by the
minor ones, but the department had
got well to work, and by II 80 the fire
was under control and oil danger was
past. The loss is 100000.
Find Three Bodies.
AT half past two o'clock the firemen
came upon the bodies of Thomas Tool,
81 years, and Harbona Stevens, 81
years. The bodies were found in a
closet in the Pfagher shop, where The
young men were employed, and were
horribly burned, Identification being
possible only by peculiaritics OF the
clothing worn by the men. Both we're
unmarried. Soon nfterward another
