rhey Arc Heedea to Cot cane ana n-ussunae-
ture sugar.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 3.-News Of an interesting
character bearing on the differences between
Hawaii and Japan over tho refusal Of the Dole
Ministry to permit Japanese laborers to land In
the republic was contained In q cablegram re-
ceived at the Japanese Legation from Toxic to-
day. The imperial Government said that a ro-
quest made by sugar planters for the admission
Of Japanese laborers TO handle the big sugar crop
this year has been granted by the immigration
authorities of the republic, and that permission
for landing 800 OF them had been given. Tho
planters want the laborers TO out the cane and
manufacture the sugar.
It is said at the Japanese Legation that tho
imperial Government 10 opposed to allowing It's
s%ubjecta TO go In large numbers to places where
they will enter INTO competition with other for
eign labor, particularly Chinese. and this may
have some bearing on another application made
by the Hawaiian planters for the admission of
more Japanese than the 800 mentioned.
The action of the immigration authorities Is
significant at this time in view of the previous
exclusion of Japanese. The main point of diff
ference between tho Honolulu and Toxic Gov.
ernments is the alleged violation by Hawaii of
the treaty bot ween the two countries through
the %refusuGl to allow Japanese to land in the
Hawaiian Islands. Japan has practically con-
scented 10 the PROPOSITION of the Dole Govern
ment to orbitrate their differences, and the new
aspect OF the case may do much to further q
peaceablo settlement Of the controversy.

UNDERYALUATIoN PENALTIES.
No 10 Per Cent. Margin for Error Under the
New Law.

The penalty clause in the new tariff law will
not be applied to imported goods on which con.
sumption entries We're made but not finally
liquidated before July "a, the day President
Mckinley signed the law, or to goods in bonded
warehouses on which q withdrawal entry was
made prior TO that date.
Under the old law importers had a margin of
10 per cent. in the valuation of their goods in
making their entries. IL 1t was found that
they had undervalued the goods more than
this 10 per cent. they were subject 10 a
underyaluNtion above the l per cent. The new
law allows no margin, and II the Government
appraiser fixes the valuation at ! per cent. above

or Duties TO Check Them.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-Charles De Kay, Con-
sul.General at Berlin. and James c. Monaghan.
Consul at Chemnitz. have reported to the State
Department that German manufacturers of
bicycles are urging the imperial Government to
re.aliate on the United States for the high rates
OF duty imposed on bicycles in the Dingley Tariff
law. Mr.. De Kay says that the most radical
among the German manufacturers want to tax
American bicycles at the highest rate imposed
on vehicles. The present German duty on a
wheel OF average cost $3.50, is about 1to TO . per
cent. OF it's value. Taxed as vehicles. bicycles
worth $50 each would have TO pay a duty OF
$3.50 each.
Some OF those in favor OF imposing higher
duties think that there should be no increase in
the rate on complete wheels. but that n higher
rate should be imposed on materials composing
bicycles. Mr.. Monaghan says a demand has
been made for an Increased rate of duty on
American bicycles OF 900 marks per 100 kilo,
grams as a maximum and 800 marks as a mini.
mum rate. American automobiles it is proposed
to assess at the rate OF 2lo marks general and
200 marks minimum.

notification. 1t did not come. SO he sent a tele-
gram to a friend in Washington asking him TO

They say that, most newly appointed officials
