You can draw your own differences.
| made my deductions. l say that
neither Hawaii nor the United States
should delay in making a much closer
compact of political union"
Mr.. Cannon scarcely said it in so
many words, but it was clear. from his
remarks upon the subject that, while
no country of the Orient desired war
with the United States, there was a
country of the Orient which keenly
coveted Hawaii.
1t is the opinion of the Utah Sen
ator that Japan will reduce her ex-
port trade very much by leaving the
silver standard She will not sell so
cheaply as now. But the loan which
the administration desires to negoti-
ate cannot be secured unless gold is
made the basis. Japan must have
money. The administration is in a
pretty puzzle. Taxes must be doubled
! or q big bond issue floated. Either
course portenus blow at the ruling
party The trial is being made for the
loan The opposition is making the
atmosphere torrid. The Gins" are fair
ly aching for a chance to add to the
glory of japanese arms and diplomacy.
The country, as viewed by Senator
Cannon, is close upon a very great po-
litical upheaval. The disciples of ex-
pediency are ready for anything. All
are for a Greater Japan"
Frank ]. Cannon is a charming man
personally. He is affable, yet cautious;
willing to talk, yet guarded of utter
ance. He has the highest courage be-
hind his ideas, yet is everything and
ready to listen to those who differ.
He was born in Utah, is not yet 4O
years of age Since leaving his State
university he has been in politics and
Journalism continuously. He is the
embodiment of young Utah. He is the
son of a father who, as much as any
other one man, made sturdy State Of

a few years ago the great American
Sahara.

the same religious faith as Mr. Cannon
were able to meet him while here, ant
he greeted all most cordially. Georg

language.

When cotton spinning shall, as in a
few years it will, become leading in
dustry in the cotton States, Northern
white female cotton operatives will
find it to their interest and may be
even driven to come South to work in
the mills, while cheaper negro labor
will be carried North to work in the
mills there. The negro will work for
lower wages than the whites can, and
the result is going to be that Northern
factories will be filled with negroes
from the South.-New Orleans Plea

Good Headway with All Except Tor
pedo Boats.

WASHINGTON, September 24.-Ac-
cording to reports received at the Navy
Department from the various ship
yards where naval work is in progress,
good Roadway is being made with the
ships under construction, with the ex-
ception of four torpedo-boats last ord
cred. These four boats are distributed
among the THRESHOLDS, Harlan & Hol-
longsworth, Wolff & Zwicker and the
Gas Engine and Power Company, and
while the actual work of construction
has not begun, much has been done in
the gathering of material to start the
work.
OF the big ships, the battle-ships
Kearsarge and Kentucky, at Newport
News, are Al per cent advanced to-
wards completion. The battle-ships
Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin were
ordered later, and they are not SO well
along, the figures being 20 per cent for
the Illinois at Newport News, Fl per
cent for the Alabama at Cramps and
IA per cent for the Wisconsin at Union
Iron Works.
Only one gun-boat is now building
the Princeton, in Camden, and this is
80 per cent advanced towards the end
The queer submarine boat, the Plum
ger, building at the Columbian Iron
Works, is going on slowly, probably
because the plans are novel and the
work is more or less experimental.
The state of work on the torpedo-boats
is as follows: Rodgers, SO per cent;
Winslow, 81 per cent; Rowan, so per
cent; Dahlgren, per cent; Craven, 4
per cent; Farragut, per cent; Davis,
80 per cent; Fox, As per cent; Talbot,
