Something of a stir was caused IN
sugar circles yesterday by the rumor
that the japanese Government had can
celed the license of Ogura & Co., con-
tractors for the supplying of labor to
the plantations on the Islands.
The manager of the Honolulu branch
received notification on Tuesday from
the main office, Osaki, to the effect that
no more laborers could be sent here on
their account, but the letter is said to
be absolutely without details as to
cause for the peremptOry action on the
part of the Government. There have
been rumors, however, that complaints
had been made regarding the methods
in use in enforcing the collection OF
passage money from the laborers. A
gentleman interested in the business
denies that there has ever been a com
plant made by a laborer brought here
under the auspices of this firm. He
states, however, that a rival organiza-
ton has been instrumental in causing
reports to be circulated against them
and the action of the Government is
undoubtedly the result.
George Boardman, who has been as
sociated with Ogura & Co. for the past
two years, conferred with the Honolulu
agents of the firm on Thursday, with
the result that orders for 1000 laborers
IoJ
signed to him by the firm. When this
was done Mr.. Boardman at once deter
mined to go to Japan and arrange with
the Government there to carry on the
work. .Matsumura, head manager of
Ogura & Co., and Watanabe, represent
ing the Hiroshima immigration Com
pany, left with Mr. Boardman on the
Gaelic yesterday. Messrs. Boardman
and Matsumura will go at once to Osaki
and after learning the particulars of
the difficulty Mr.. Boardman will pro-
ceed to Toxic and endeavor to have the
license transferred to himself
At the Foreign Office or the Japanese
Consulate nothing had been heard of
ficially regarding the action, but ad-
vices are expected by the China, due
on Monday.
Ogura & Co. have been established
here everal years in contracting for
labor supply under a license from the
Government of Japan. AS a guarantee
of the faithful perfc once of the terms
OF the license, the deposited with
the Yokohama Specie Bank, in Toxic,
10000 yen, and with Bishop & Co. the
sum of $4,000 gold.
AS the firms letter to Ogura & Co.
states that they will be obliged to carry
out the contracts and be responsible
for the 900 JAP desc brought to the
country by them, the bonds will not
be released until the last contract ex-
pires, about three years hence.

The United States and England VIII
Print Arbitration Letters.
LONDON, June 27.-Great Britain
and the United States have agreed to
publish the arbitration correspondence
exchanged between the two countries.
The publication of this matter, it ap-
pears, has been delayed while waiting
the arrival in London of Secretary Oh
ney's latest communication, which was
handed to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British Ambassador at Washington,
early in the week, and which is in Mr..
Olney's most incisive style, and forms
one of the most important documents
of the series.
No definite conclusions have been as
yet reached, though considerable pro-
gress has been made toward general
treaty of arbitration between the two
countries.

Respectfully yours,

Mr.. Editor:-By last Australia" we
were favored with a copy of your
valued paper of issue of May 29th. In
it is contained an article, in which the
paper used for insulating the cold stor-
age rooms of the new refrigerating
plant in Honolulu was subjected to ad-
verse criticism, and charged with being
the cause of tainting the meat and
spelling the butter stored in these
rooms.
AS this paper was manufactured by
this company, we naturally feel that a
reply is due. The charges made by the
professors, and the manager of the Met
ropOlitan Company are so absurd tC
persons familiar with cold storage
that, were they made in any city of the
United States possessing cold storage
plant, they would not be noticed
They state that owing to the presence
of coal tar and creosote in the Insulat-
ing Paper, al odor is impaired to the
meat, and resulting taste objection
able to the consumer, is produced In
the manufacture of p. &sB. Paper, the
Insulating Paper used, no coal tar, Gre
osote, or like material is employed, con-
sequently none can be present or evolv-
ed. A thousand tons of the material
uoCu ny uS lOI COdllHS anu
our Insulating Paper, even if subjected
to chemical analysis, would not pro-
duce an ounce of coal tar or gill of
creOsote.
The paper is odorless and imperme-
able. 1t will not absorb odors, neither
will it give off any. 1t being the only
paper manufactured that possesses
these qualities, it is universally used in
the construction of cold storage plants,
refrigerator cars, ice houses and other
buildings, where the normal temper
ature is the desideratum in the United
States.
The eastern house of this Company
sells over $50 million square feet of this
paper each year, while in the west we
sell over five million square feet Of
the latter, about one million square feet
are used for drying raisins. A large
percentage of the paper sold is used for
refrigeration. In 1895 the New York
Central Railroad Company alone used
over three million square feet of three
ply p & B. Building Paper in the con-
struction of it's new refrigerator car
system
This paper is not new thing. 1t has
been on the market for nearly twelve
years, and now has a position in refri-
SerdtlOn from Wn1cn II cannot De Q1S-
placed. 1t was awarded gold medal
at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago,
in 1898, and also at the Midwinter Fair,

following:
1st.-The meat may be stored in the

be built on filled in or swampy ground
which gives off odors, which are readi-
ly absorbed by fresh killed meat and

Salutlng the Flag.

Secretary Of War Lamont has made
no more popular innovation during
his incumbency Of the war portfolio
than his new regulation concerning
the lowering of the National colors on
military posts at sunset. The flag is
no longer unceremoniously pulled
down Immediately after the firing Of
the sunset gun, but its descent is
marked with dignity and decorum be-
coming the country's ensign.
Under the new rules the usual re-
treat call is sounded, after which the
gun is fred. Then the band plays the
"Star .Spangled Banner" The flag is
lowered slowly and must not touch the
ground until the last chord Of the Ma
tional anthem has been sounded. To
make the scene more impressive every
one within hearing distance stands
while the band is playing aud the men
doif their caps.
''It is a most impressive sight, said
Congressman George b. Mcclellan,
who was a member of the Board Of
Visitors to West Point, "to witness
the lowering of the flag under Secre-
tary Lamonts order. It is not only
impressive, but it teaches every one
to have q proper respect for the Ma
tional colors. Men, women and chill
dren seem to draw inspiration from
the scene.
"While at West Point I saw crowds
of young fellows from the city, gay,
thoughtless fellows, lift their hats,
stand in reverential attitude until the
colors fell 1t was because they saw
what respect the military had for the
flag. 1t is too bad we cannot have
such a scene enacted nightly on every
street in all our large cities. New

Facts About Human Lille.

There are 8O64 languages in the

more than 1000 religions. The num-
Der of men is about equal to the num-

about thirty-three years. To 1000
persons only one reaches 100 years of
life; to every 100 six reach the age of
sixty-fve, and not more than one in

is in the proportion of seventy-iye to

Baroarous Dentistry.

The most barbarous method Of den
tistIy is that praetlceI by the Kaftirs.
The Katlir dentist places his patient on
the ground, and four men hold him
down, two taking his arms and two his
legs. Then the operator kneels down
beside him, and taking piece of sharp
ened ivory, steel or wood, calmly pro
ceeds to hack away at the gum until
the offending tooth is loose. He then
extracts it with finger and thumb, the
patient having suffered, naturally, un.
speakable agonies.
The time occupied in the operation is
often of long duration, sometimes ex.
tending over as much as thirty minutes
but of course this varies according to
the strength of the tooth.

The latest swindling game was prac-
tised successfully the other day at Ben
ton, Penn Two men, who appeared to
be strong silver and gold advocates,
were in the Central Depot and became
involved in a heated discussion. The
gold man offered to bet a gold double
eagle that If he hammered the coin
into a shapeless mass 1t would still be
worth 500. He was ostensibly taken up
by the silver advocate, but when 1t
came to selling the lump to Jeweller
Roth the store was closed. James
Hagerty, who stood by and who had
implicit faith in the value Of gold gave
the man $40 for the battered coin. The
two enthusiasts disappeared shNEtly
after, and then 1t was discovered that
the metal left by them was spurious.
