THE NEWS.

According TO the dispatches re
ceived by the Doric, Japan Is not
yet satisfied by the replies OF Sec
rotary Sherman on the relations OF
that country to Hawaii in the event
of annexation. \ further protest
has been made by Minister Hoshi
and the language used is signiti-
cant. The Japanee Minister states
that it is impossible for his country
to view with unconcern and ac-
quiescence the consequences which
would follow the extinction of Ha-
waiian sovereignty" Japan en-
phatically denies that she has any
designs ini1nical to Hawaii. At the
same time she deprecates further
colonial expansion in the Pacific.
The very fact that the United
States has so long exercised pre-
dominating influence over the Isl
ands is advanced as a reason for
continuing the status quo. The
Senate has adopted the conference
committees report on the Tariff
Bill by vote of forty to thirty,
the President signed the bill on
July "a and it went into operation
on the same day. Protests have al
ready been made against some of
its provisions. The Hawaiian Re
ciprocity clause remained intact
and Hawaii's position is assured
until next December at least. The
opposition forces do not concede
Annexation. Ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani is already in Washington, a
definate line of attack has already
been formed by anti-annexatlonlsts
and fight in December is certain.
The dispatches by the Doric
deny that the Turks intend evacu-
ating Thessaly. On the contrary
there may be further tighing IN
Crete. The Cubans have repulsed
the Spanish forces in a decisive
victory, and Spaniards in Havana
are highly incensed over the re-
lease of several Cuban insurgents.
The news in general is of a very
brief nature.

HEALTH, AND HOW TO PRE-
SERVE IT.

A well-known physician, DIR.
Chas. w. Purdy, has an article in
the June number of the North
American Review, which is well
worth reading by all who do or do
not enjoy good health, and are will
ing to follow a physicians gratui-
tous but really helpful advice. The
doctor states as his opinion that
''the next and greatest advance in
medical science will be the mastery
of the art of preventing disease"
But should this ever happen, what
will become of the doctors? His
essay, which is headed popular
errors in Living might be
summed up in the answer given
by wise doctor to a patient who
asked him for rule to prevent re-
current attacks of rheumatism.
My rule, said, is very simple one
IN condition." And he
gave his patient a regimen, which

THE CHINESE IN HAWAII.

Much of the opposition IN the
United States, to the annexation OF
Hawaii is purely sentimental, ann
ed at our mixed population; as
though anything could be more
mixed than the population is now
In our mother country. We have
already shown, in a previous artl-
Gle. that the native Hawaiians are
better educated, in primary way,
than most of the European popula-
ton, which is crowding into the
United States by the hundred
thousands annually, and that the
public school regulations of Ha-
wall require the attendance OF
children of all nationaities, and
none between the ages, of six and
sixteen are exempt from the opera
tons of the law. As a natural re-
suit, there are fewer native Hawai-
ians unable to read and write, than
are found among the natives of any
country in the world, not except
ing the United States. And more
than this, all the youth now attend
ing school, are taught in the Eng
lish language only, as a vernacular.
But how about Asiatics !-is
asked by critics. 1t is true that
one-third of our population COM
prises japanese and Chinese, who
came here until recently chiefly as
laborers engaged for the planta
tons, in the same way as Chinese
were formerly brought into Cali
fornia by the large Chinese immi-
grafton companies to work on the
railroads, nearly all of which roads
In that state were built in part by
them. In the same way, Chinese
and japanese are at the present
time employed there in large num-
bers, under contracts, to plant and
cultivate sugar beets, ON the new
plantations that are springing up
in that state, because they work
much cheaper than any other
laborers, and it is an employment

included diet, exercise in the fresh
air, regular rest, proper clothing,
etc, which proved an efffcacious
remedy, his patient having the
good sense to follow the doctors
advice.
In his essay, DIR. Purdy states
as the result Of his observation that
IF a man who is born of healthy
parents. and who is himself healthy
at birth, becomes seriously disabled
in health before the age of from
sixty-fve to seventy, barring acct
dent or infectious disease, it is
solely because he has not lived
properly" Beginning with the
subject of food, the doctor says that
''the greatest dietary sin of the
average American is his meat-eat-
ing propensity" He declares, ''as
a matter of careful observation"
that of, the large and increasing
number of cases of acquired
Bright's, disease copper cent. belong
to the class of people robust in
appearance, inclined to rather full
habit of body, but sedentary in
their habits, taking but little exer-

quently three times a day. 1t is
this error, he says, which explains
also the frequency of such diseases
as rheumatism and govt, gin which
respects we bid fair to outstrip our
so-called 'beef-eating' cousins on
the opposite side of the Atlantic"
The excessive quantity of food
consumed by people who perform
little or no manual labor, is men
toned by the doctor as a common
and fruitful cause of disease. He
refers to open air exercise,-walk-
ing, riding and bicycling, as abso-
lutely necessary to health. Regard
ing bicycling he says it should be
practiced with ordinary intelli-
gence and discretion. When so
used, it is, for men or women,
among the healthiest modes of ex-
ercise that we have. IF an athlete
gets in condition, to run or row a
race, why should not every sensi-
BILE man or woman strive to ''keep
in condition." to do his or her life
work?

for which they are well adapted
and still better, it is reliable class
of labor, whether it be Chinese or
japanese. They are preferred to
Europeans in the cultivation of
sugar beets, because they are reli-
able, being held by contracts to
their employers. Europeans be
longing to labor organizations are
not so reliable; being too often CON
trolled by men who care nothing
for the engagements, which they
NAV have entered into with their
employers. One thing should be
borne in mind, that the Chinese
contract labor system did not orr
ginate in Hawaii, but in Califor
MIA, and Is still carried on there, by
the Chinese bosses, who import
their laborers TO cultivate sugar
beets, or engage In any other labor
service. The heavy crops of wheat
and other grains in some of the
states west of the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers, are now annually
harvested in part by companies OF
travelling Chinese who contract to
do the work promptly at lower
price than white laborers. 1t is
said that their work is done so
faithfully and well, that they can
make engagements year ahead,
and that without their help, much
of the grain crop would be lost.
Going farther east, we find that
Chinese do a large share of the
laundry-work, being in some cases
employed by Americans for the
purpose, especially in the large
cities. This is a kind of work for
which they are specially adapted,
in the same way as they are to the
laborious cultivation of sugar beets
or any other garden vegetables.
1t is not alone in America and
Hawaii that Asiatics are proving
to be laborers best adapted for GER
tain industries, for which other ma
tionalities are not we'll suited.
They are forcing their way into
every country on the face of the
globe. So far as the Chinese in
Hawaii are concerned, they are by
law restricted from going to Am
erica, nor will they be allowed to
do so after annexation. The same
regulations will exist then as now
as regards Chinese. Many of them
return each year to China, and
gradually the number in Hawaii
will be reduced. After anneXa-
ton, it is quite likely that many of
them will wish to continue service
on the plantations, as they will pre-
fer this to returning home to
China.

F. A. LEACH FOR TIE MINT
H. Receives the Endorsement
of the California Dele
cation.
The Editor Says H Is Surprised al
the N ws. but Viii Accept the
o fee if Offered.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, March 7.
Frank A. Leach, proprietor OF the Oak
land Enquirer, received dispatch to-
night stating that he is to be the next
Superintendent of the United States Mint
at San Francisco.
The dispatch reads:
Hon. Frank A. Leach. Oakland, Cal.: The en-
tire deleg alton agreed upon you for Super1n-
tendent OF the United States Mint. Accept
congratula tions OF Hamilton and my self.
FRANK MCLAUGHLIN.
A few minutes after receiving the above
dispatch Mr.. Leach received the follow
ing:
Hon. Frank A. Leach: You will be rendered
the superin lie ndency of the Mint. l earnestly
entreat that you accept the position.
S. G. HILBoRN.
Mr.. Leach said tonight that the news
was a great surprise to him. He has not
been candidate for that position or any
other. A few days ago he received con-
fidential dispatch from a prominent Re-
publican at Washington advising him that
the delegation would tender him the
place and urgently urging him to accede
to the wishes of the delegation. Some OF
the newspapers of the interior part OF the
State having included Mr.. Leach's name
in the list OF those who might be CHOSEN
for the Mint, he wrote Mr.. Hilborn few
weeks ago to pay no attention to any re-
ports he might hear or read; that he was
not candidate for the Mint or any po-
sition, consequently he is unable to ac-
count for the action of the delegation.
M. Leach has always been warm sup
porter of the Republican party, and his
newspaper has made a very active cam
paign on behalf of Senator Perkins and
Congressman Hilborn. He has been in
journalism for many years, and came to
Oakland about twelve years ago from

| II knew nothing of this thing until a
few days ago." said Mr.. Leach tonight.
II was then informed that my name was
being presented, and tonight the dis
| patches told me of the result of the efforts
OF my friends. l have already received
many congratulations, and one of the
heartiest was from George Morrow, who
was making an open fight for the place. !

grams from several places, and feel par

that this view is shared by nearly all CT
the faculty. AS neary week has gone
by since this statement was made public
and it has not been contradicted by any,
body, it is but reasonable to presume that
il has some foundation in fact.
At this particular time the signed
charges OF inetficiency are particularly
opporture and cannot fail to produce
good, whether they are true or false. II
true the remedy can be applied in less
than q month after to- o-morrow's election; if
false, the opportunity mas arisen to refute
them and to allay positively rumors that
have been in circulation for two years
Mr.. Burrill more than hints that the
School Department ia deeply in politics.
If this be true, it can be rectified to-
morrow. when new Board of Education
is to be elected which will elect Superia-
tendent of Schools to serve for the next
four wears. If the incumb bent, Mr.. Nc
CIymonds, who has held the position for
eight wears, has pursued his duties with
an eve single to the efficiency Of the public
schools and does not merit the severe
criticism of Professor Burrill, then he
should be vindicated by reelection. If,
whoever, the faculty OF the High School
have not been misrepresented by one of
their number, it would appear that a
change would be beneficial.
In any event, the School Board to be
elected tomorrow has a most important
duty to perform. The present system of
education is either greatly at fault or it
has been grossly slandered, and on the
School Directors rests the duty of satisfy
ing the pub bic that their taxes are being
intellieentIv spent fer the purpose of OBJ
tanning the best results.

ASA FISK AT REST.

Funeral Services Held at His Late
Residence.
The impressive funeral services were
held over the remains of Asa Fisk at his
late residence, 700 Bayes street, yesterday
afternoon by the Rev. Emil Berger.
Surrounding the bier were many of the
friends of the deceased who came to pay
their last tribute of respect to his memory
and to the surviving members OF his
family.
The Rev. Mr.. Berger, after the religious
portion of the service had been performed,
spoke OF his acquaintance of the deceased
es constant attendant at the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian Church on Fell street
prior to his (Mr. Berger's) removal to an
Eastern charge.
He found the deceased to be q man
whose word was his bond, and in this
quality he expected those with whom he
had dealings to live up to the same stand
ard. Though having the reputation of
driving hard bargains, yet he was charit-
able and possessed some excellent traits of
character.
His remains were inferred in the Ma
sonic Cemetery. 1t is said that by his
will, what was left of his estate, which
will amount to about 100000. has been
divided between his three children, and
that ha conveyed the greater portion Of
his real estate outside OF this City and
Alameda County to his wife some time
previous to his death.
