been started on the high road of pros
porous activity, the management of the
Oahu Railroad is making plans for inn
provement in the road from Honolulu
to Pearl City. When this work is COM
pleted the time may not be far distant
when the extension will be on the
boards and better development of Oahu
a reality.
In reply to a request made to the
general manager of the o. r. & L. Co.
for a brief statement, showing the

In further demonstration of the
company's affairs, Mr.. Dillingham; said:
THE company have an income from
other sources shown in other accounts,
such as wharf, scow, storage, ballast,
rents from stock ranches, etc. The
growth of the railway business is
steady and sure. Every mile of extern
sion will increase the earnings with
out a corresponding increase of ex-
pense. The Oahu Sugar Company, Linn
tied, have made a contract for freight
with the o. r. & L. Co. for term of
60 years, and when the anticipated de-
velopment of the new plantation is re-
allied the freight from that source an
nually will equal the total freight
earning for 1896.
''The freight from Eva plantation
is steadily increasing, and promises to
exceed in 1899 so per cent of the
amount delivered last year.
"The business of the o. R. & L. Co.
has been terribly hampered from the
start by a variety of causes, which need
not be named to be understood. The
business of the company is established
now, and will. without doubt, make
good progress in the future, and prove
a great benefit to the Island. of Oahu
the City OF Honolulu, and all who have
contributed TO it's support, as well as
those who have refused to acknowledge
! its possible utility"

LABOR is NEEDED
Planters File Their Re.
quests for Permits.
Cabinet VIII Consider - A Serious
Problem japanese
Distribution.

The following disposition has been
made of the japanese immigrants ar
rived on the tramp steamer Riojun-
Maru a few days since:
Eva Plantation-151 men and 3S
women
Honomu-100 men and % women.
Haiku Sugar Co.-50 men and 13
women.
DR.. Wight-13 men and women.
Olowalu-15 men, women and 8
children.
Gokala-60 men and Ii women.
Paauhau-26 men and women.
The immigrants have all been des-
patched, the last having been sent
away on the Helene to Maui yesterday
afternoon.
special meeting of the Cabinet on
immigration matters was held yester-
day. The applications of planters for
permits were received. II is the de-
sire Of the employers TO bring over
quite a large amount of labor. The
sugar acreage has increased and many
contracts have expired. A great num-
Der of the Japanese have gone into the
coffee districts as hired workers and
as culCvatOrs on their own accounts.
The Government positively refuses
to allow the importation of any more
Chinese for the present. This is be
cause the annexation treaty is pending.
The executive council will consider
very carefully the proposals now made
by the planters 1t is the pronounced
policy of the Government to see that
no more labor is brought than is alb
solutely necessary for the actual work.
A number of leading plantation
owners and representatives were in
vited to meet with the Cabinet yester
day. There was serious consideration
Of the business without reaching final
decisions. immigration statistics were
studied and there was not a little seri-
Gus expression of opinion. The petit
tions will be passed upon before the
next steamer leaves for the Orient.

ROUGH WEATHER.

Heavy Winds in the Channels
Bother the Traders.
The steamer James Makee came in
from Kauai ports yesterday forenoon
with reports of very rough weather at
Kapaa. She was unable to discharge
all Of her coal there and brought back
part Of the cargo. On Tuesday the
northeast buoy was carried away by
the force OF the wind. This was pick
ed up by the James Makee and brought
TO Honolulu. Captain Tullet reports
that it took over four hours to come
from Barber's Point TO the Makee's
landing, the wind often being strong
enough of port to make her all but
stop. 1t is probable that the Makee
viii not go out again until next week.

BOTH IDENTIFY JACOBS
THE TWO GERMAN PEOPLE HELD UP
AND ROBBED BY HIM AND JENKINS.
The Trial of the Chief Highwayman
Begins-A Franklin Township
Divorce Case.

Tillman Jacobs and James Jenkins. both
of whom are under indictment by the
grand jury for robbery, were brought into
the Criminal Court yesterday. Jacobs was
granted a separate trial, which was at once
begun. Jenkins was kept in court with
Jacobs for the purpose of Identification.
The men are charged with robbing John
of Sept rs. The Werners reside near the
crossing of Clifford avenue and the Belt
Railroad. 1t is claimed the men 'held up"
the pair at their house and robbed them
Of $1.40. The police are Of the opinion that
Jacobs and jenkins were concerned in
number of robberies about the time of the
Werner affair. Mrs. Werner gave her tes-
timony in the German tongue, Deputy Clerk
Tamm acting as interpreter. Jacobs's wife
and children and two brothers sat with
him yesterday. The Jacobs brothers closely
resemble each other. Yesterday during the
testimony of Werner the witness was asked
if he could identify the men who robbed
him. He promptly arose from his chair,
walked over to the table where the prison
ers sat and pointed out Jenkins and Jacobs.
Neither of the accused moved a muscle
when the witness pointed them out. Later
stand to tell the story of the robbery Mrs
Werner was asked if she could identify the
prisoners. She picked the same men identi-
fled by her husband. The case is being tried
by jury.
