The government in Madrid will back
him in all the devilment he under
takes, stopping short of the point that
would lead to the declaration of war
by the United States. There will be
no more leniency shown to Americans
in Cuba than is compelled by the au-
thorities at Washington. This is the
fact, and it is not unknown at head

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Recogniz-
ing the Importance of the recent gold
discoveries in Alaska and the adjoin-
ing territory, and in obedience to the
widespread demand for authentic in
formation in regard thereto, the Com
missioner of Labor has detailed from
his regular force an expert, thoroughly
familiar with all the features of gold
mining, to proceed Immediately to the
Klondyke for the purpose of making
careful and exhaustive study of the
conditions as they exist there. 1t is the
intention of the Commissioner to en-
bulletin of the department, which will
appear at as early date as possible.
This is subject of absorbing inter-
est to all classes, and in making this
investigation the Commissioner feels
that he is working in the interests Of
the unemployed. Such a report as that
contemplated, giving the unbiased
facts as to the opportunities for the
investment of capital and employment
of labor, wages, cost Of living, ETC.,
would be of value to the people of this
country.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson be-
lieves that Congress, at it's next ses-
sion, will authorize the establishment
of agricultural experiment stations in
Alaska. He said today that he had no
doubt the people in some parts of Alas
ka would be able to produce their own
vegetables and to some extent the ce-
reals they will need. The hardy classes
of animals, he said, also could be grown
there The cattle from the mountains
of Scotland he believed, could be raised
successfully in Alaska but so far as Is
known now the mining regions in that
vicinity of the headquarters of the Yu-
kon river are about 1000 miles away
from any part of Alaska in which agri-
culture could be successfully pursued.

Miss Helen Wilder Speaks Enter.
tainningly on Japan Nikko,
LoVeIiest Place in the Land.

| To go to a foreign country with an
interest and with mind set upon learn
| ing some of the historical facts relating
| to that country, is something that per-
haps a great many people who travel
away from their homes do not carry
with them. OF Miss Helen Wilder who,
several months ago went on trip to
the Orient, this cannot be said. Aside
from gathering all the facts possible in
the time she spent in regard to the
places visited, she collected photo
graphs, beautifully done by the Jap
anese, in order that she might have
some mode of recalling what time
might render somewhat dim in mem
ory.
Miss Wilder is most enthusiastic on
the subject of Japan, and the spirit
manifested by the people of the realm
of the Mikado. She has not given up
altogether the idea of some day return
ing to that land of temples and beauti-
full scenery. In speaking of her recent
trip, Miss Wilder kindly consented to
allow some of her experiences to ap-
pear in print, hoping that in so doing
some of the island people might be
tempted to give themselves the pleas
ure of visit to Japan.
when one expects to travel in
foreign country said Miss Wilder,
zone of the first things that comes to
mind is hotel accommodations. Just
here, then, 1 should like to speak of
Mr.. Louis Efinger, manager of the
Grand Hotel in Yokohama. His guests
never go away with word of COM
plant. On the contrary, they leave the
hotel with a feeling that they have
been treated squarely and are anxious
to tell their friends what fine accom-
modations can be found at the Grand.

way plying, but then, different ma
tions may see things differently.
During the week we spent in Kioto
Miss Johnson went through the Japan
ese hospital and was much impressed
with the fine system in vogue there.
The physician in charge was DR.. Sake,
a graduate of Edinburgh University,
and, of course, a highly-educated man.
will not forget very soon how cha
grined we were when, upon addressing
the doctor in the broken English COM
monty used when speaking to the ma
jority of Japanese who have had an
education in English, he informed us
that he was a graduate of Edinburgh
University, and then began to speak
English as well as you or I. 1t was in
Kioto that we were all taken sick.
Thanks to Dr. Sake's care, we were
soon up and smiling again. I under
stood later that when we were in K1o-
to disease was prevalent throughout
the place.
''On the night of April 2Sth, we were
given one of the rarest treats it was
our portion to experience while in
Japan-the cherry festival-a celebra-
ton of the period when the pretty
pink and Wh1te blossoms make lHelI
appearance for the first time in the
spring The feast was held in one OF
the main halls of the city, and the
principal feature was the cherry dance,
performed by 80 of the fairest of Jap
ans daughters, dressed in pretty col
ors, and going through movements,
the like of which would rival in grace
fulness and evenness Of performance
the most skilled pupils of Delsarte.

in Kioto are located the famous I'M
perial tea grounds, from which place
the Mikado gets all of his tea. In Kio-
TO We remained 10 days, viewing the
sights of the place and paying partic-
.ular attention to the temples with their
fgraven images worshiped by the peo-
pie. Of these 1 wish TO speak of one
in particular-the Goddess of Mercy
Ito children). This is an immense fig
ure, and the popularity of this goddess
lies in the fact that she is the posses
esor of just 1888 hands, upon each of
which she carries the image of a child.
Her countenance, from our standpoint,
is certainly not a benign one, or in any

a visit to the rapids-a mad, rushing
torrent of water, with huge rocks jut-
ting far above its surface or lurking
full of danger just beneath. 1 have
said that every one visits the rapids,
but it is not every one who shoots
them. The experiment might prove
rather too much for the nerves of some,
but all that is necessary is TO place
utmost confidence in the Japanese who
manage the sampans. From my expert
ence and that OF my friends, they are
worthy of it. To the rapids it is mat
ter of 10 miles, but when one sits in a
jinrikisha and becomes absorbed in the
beauties that surround him on all sides,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-08-04

it seems but a matter of half the dis
tance, and were it not for the excite
ment of the thought of shooting the
rapids, one might feel sorry that the
ride has terminated. One mile of the
distance, the last before coming to the
rapids, is through dark tunnel. Pret-
ty tea houses line both banks of the
river
"One is transported, jinrikisha, car
riers and all, directly into a waiting
sampan, the stern of which is manned
by muscular Japanese, who does the
prOpelling of the craft, and the bow by
another fellow with a pole who when
the boat comes too close to a rock,
shoves off and into the regular course.
''It is a wild ride, that. Dashing in
and out through black. threatening
rocks. around curves, over dancing
water, passing like flash between per-
pendicular cliffs and past huge banks
of the beautifully tinted azaleas and
ferns, it is something that must
be relegated to the realm of the indie
scribable. 1t was passing by Death at
a thousand places in the course of %
miles-death averted by the skillful
manipulations of the men of the sam
pan.
Far below, at the end of the ride,
where we landed, we were shown to
tea house, and there, amidst the
cooling shade, were served an appe-
tizing luncheon. This done, we rested
while, and were then taken back to
Kioto in our jinrikishas.
'The next day we left on the train
for Yokohama. 1 want to mention here
that Japan has her drawbacks. There
are no sleeping accommodations on the
cars marrow gauge) and one is forced
either to sit up all night or to do as we
did, spread out our shawls on the floor
and sleep Hawaiian style. The boards
weren't very comfortable, but we got
some rest It was a case Of day and
a night on the train.
ARRIVING in Yokohama, we went di-
rectly to the Grand Hotel, the place l
mentioned in the beginning of my
story. 1t is just on the waters edge,
and this, combined with the large
rooms and airy lanais, and the music
by the various bands that play during
the evenings, makes the hotel one of
the most attractive spots I came across
while in Japan.
"Our first trip from Yokohama was
said by the Japanese that never can
one use the word grand with its prop
er meaning until he has seen the Val
ley of Nikko, and / guess they are
about right. I never saw a more beau
tiful place The magnificent temples
form one of the main features of the
Valley of Nikko. One of these is kept
particularly for the MikadO and his
family. None other are allowed to en-
ter it's sacred precincts, and the doors,
| kept usually locked, are opened
twice a year. We happened to be in
Nikko when the doors were opened and
when the priests, the retinue Of SER
wants. horses and all connected with
the temple came forth in splendid par
ade. The Mikado himself was unable
to be present, but sent a representa-
tive in the person of one Of his grand
sons. On this auspicious occasion we
made Ieis of azalea blossoms and wore
them around our necks and hats.
In Nikko there are two fine hotels
