come. Hawaii's action will be
subjected To a most careful and
searching investigation. If the
international potentates find that
Hawaii has danced to an obstreper-

the fiddler. Furthermore if the
diplomats find, as they probably
will. that Hawaii Is suffering under
the burden OF a treaty, that in the
long run will put the country in
the hands Of Japan, the claim for
treaty revision will be recognized.
Another, and still more satisfac-
tory, possibility IS that the United
States will settle the question by
Hawaii an American

citizens shall pay few
minor japanese debts, and become
henceforth amenable to the laws

10Th April, 1897.

The Australia" brought the news
yesterday that a special commission
er had left Yokohama on board the
warship "Naniwa'' for the purpose of
investigating the recent difficulty with
the Japanese immigrants here.
The prevailing sentiment is that no
trouble need be apprehended on that
score, and that after a little roast
ing" the whole affair will blow over.
While on the subject of roasting"

NO MORE EXCLUSIVE FRAN
CHISES.

The action of the Executive IN
accepting Col. Spalding's with
drawaI from the cable contract will
meet with general approval. This
leaves Hawaii with a free hand
to deal with any and all companies
that may be disposed to lay cable
between Hawaii and the United
States. Col. Spalding's eighteen
months of hard work has brought
him into intimate relations with
cable promoters of the United
States and England and although
he no longer has an exclusive fran
chise it is not reasonable to infer
that he will withdraw from the
field.
SO far as the cable is concerned
Hawaii is now just where it wants
to be. 1t does not require an eX-
tended argument to show that the
progress of commerce in the Paci-
fic is bringing about a general cen
tralization of international eyes
upon these dots in the Pacific.
Small, though they may be, the
Hawaiian Islands furnish the only
stopping place for the trans-Paci-
fic steamer lines. With the steady
increase of commerce follows the
increasing Importance of the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Four years ago, the country at
tracted world wide attention on
account of little row connected
with change of government.
The interest in the country varied
according to the personal or sen
timental friendship for one or the
other of the two contending part
les. Today Hawaii attracts atten-
ton on account of its intrinsic
value to the commercial world.
The old feelings still exist to a GER
tain extent but they fade into prac-
teal insignifcance when ques
ton of dollars and cents presents
itself. Since our value to the
commercial world begins to loom
up, it is nothing more than "a clean
business proposition that Hawaii
should be free to ''dicker' with
the men prepared to make the best
bargain. The United States wants
a cable, Great Britain wants a
cable and Japan wants a cable.
The only mid-ocean landing for
any trans-Pacific cable is in the
Hawaiian Islands. Consequently.
Hawaii should guard its franchise
very carefully until the powers be
hind the thrones in other countries
begin to show their hand a little
more clearly.

THE JAPANESE TROUBLES

Japan seems TO have decided TO
give the officials OF this country u
lesson III the administration Of
Hawaiian a. we'll a. international
law. This Is. what the yernacular
press OF Japan announces as the
mission OF Mr.. Akiyama and the
warship Naniwa. From what can
be gathered from the more conser-
vative papers however, the mis-
sion Of the special commissioner Is
to make more complete investi-
CATION OF the immigration difficult
ties, after which the japanese gov
eminent will decide what it Is 90
ing to- do about it. As stated by
the Japan Gazette, the Japanese
government has adopted "a reso-
lutte policy, a policy that III certain
contingencies might bring her into
conflict with the United States, or
lead to a position of humiliation
At present the contingencies are
so numerous that it is practically
impossible to predict the future.
The diplomatic battle is fully I'M
der way, and owing to Hawaii's
peculiar relations with the United
States requires an immense amount
of very delicate work. From
what can be learned of the instruc-
tons given Japan's special com
missioner, the japanese govern
ment questions the right OF Hawai-
ian officials to refuse immigrants
legal counsel when within Hawai-
ian territory, also the right to de-
termine whether the $50 in pos
session of the immigrant is bona
fde. So far as we can learn, our
Government officials have already
made an answer to these points,
and we have yet to be informed
that the Government has changed
It's position. Mr.. Akiyama will 90
over the ground, and we are safe
in presuming that the Executive
will stand by its previous deci-
sions.

When the whole matter is sifted
to the bottom, Japan Is the country
with which rests the responsibility
of future decisions. Hawaiian
officials have marked the chalk line
and unless they are made of diff
ferent stuff than we give them
credit for they will stand squarely
up to that line. Should Japan
decide that Hawaii has violated the
treaty and is liable for the damages
claimed by the immigration com
panies, the Hawaiian Government
will doubtless deny that it has
broken faith and also refuse to pay
damages.
What them Japan cannot de
clare war because Hawaii isn't big
enough to 90 TO war. Japan can
land troops and take possession of
the countrv-but Just at this point
Japan has to figure with the Unit
ed States. This Is the point where
Japan has to figure on disagree
able dilemma. Our oriental friends
cannot afford to incur the disfavor
of the United States. The two
nations are now on most friendly
terms and Japan in Its commerce
with the United States, has more
at stake than the whole Hawaiian
Islands are worth. If Japan can
secure the cooperation of the Unit
ed States. in making its demands,
then the Hawaiian officials will be
forced to cave In and look smiling.
But cooperation with Japan means
that this country will be overrun
with Asiatics, and American inter
ests reduced to nil. 1t seems hard
" probable that the United States
would be mixed up In any scheme
of this kind, though we confess
that even Uncle Sam sometimes
gets into some mighty queer inter
national deals. 1t is easier to fore
cast the weather than to tell what
one of the great national powers
will do.
