the sugar trust has grip on the
American market, and the sugar
trust operates under the laws of the
United States, and presumably
with the consent Of the American
people, possibly the people who
pull the strings in the Chronicle
back office. If this alliance Is Of
such a friendly character as the
San Francisco contemporary seeks
to represent, why Is it that the
sugar trust figures 80 prominently
among the opponents of anneXa-
ton. This assertion Of the Chron-
icle Is of much the same order "a

Constant additions of prominent
Hawaiians to the list of active an

Der thought and careful study of
what annexation means will do.
Political prejudice has caused
many to hold aloof, but the petty
barriers are being broken down by
this movement, carried on the
broad lines laid down by the An
nexation Club. Throughout all
the districts of the Islands the
steady growth of the annexation
sentiment among all clans and
classes, irrespective of nationality
or previous condition of political
servitude, demonstrates that the
so-called opposition exists only
among a few persons capable OF

THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS.

We are not, and our friends In
San Francisco, are not quite able
to discover the reasons for the gen
eraI opposition OF the press OF that
CITY 10 annexation. There does not
appear to be any discussion OF the
merits of question which involves
the relations of that city with
place which stands third III the
commercial importance OF It's
trade This is singular, because
that city Is not overbuTdened with
a profitable foreign trade, and what
it has, Is constantly threatened by
the competition Of the Northern
ports and Canada.
If the plan of annexation Is de
feated, what will be the relation
of the Pacific Coast to US III the
futurel 1t will be only matter of
time when the control of the Isl
ands will pass virtually into the
hands of the Asiatics. This may
easily take place without the least
interference by the Governments
of those countries. In form, the
nation may be wholly Independent,
but in substance, it Will be what
the majority of the people make it.
Without annexation the political
forces which are dangerous and
dormant at present, Will gradually
move to the front, and nothing but
physical force will control them.
Moreover, the Asiatics will crowd
In here, without limit, and estab-
lish great factories, and come In
competition with American merch-
ants In the Mexican and South
American trade. The japanese
have already discussed the subject
of establishing factories here, and
in due time this will be done.
There are some special advantages
here IN that line, which do not eX-
list In Japan. The certainty of
large commercial marine III Jap
anese hands, will make tangible
the proposition to finally build cot
ton and wooden mills here, at the
best distributing point of the Pa
cifc.
The wiser Asiatics will see the
advantage to themselves of max
ing this the great free port of
the Pacific, and they may do this |
without any Government assist
ance< We could not prevent them
from doing this, or from striking
at the trade of the United States
from this point. As a free port or
general exchange, beyond the con
troll of American legislation or re-
strictions, the commerce of the |
coming Nicaragua Canal would be |
DETECTED from the Pacific Coast to |
a spot free from any restrictions.
Though all the Powers agreed
TO maintain the independence of
the Islands. they cannot alter the
critical position we are in, owing |
to our geographical position at the |
front of the Orient. The ten
dency will be towards the irrepres-
sible immigration of Asiatics, and
the small contingent of Ameri-
canists and Europeans cannot con-
troll it. Singapore and Hong Kong
are wholly In the hands of the Asi-
atics in trade and commerce, and
are nominally British because those
places are covered by British guns.
Much more may be said ON this
subject The press of San Francis
co should well consider this aspect
of the case, if it has the interest of
that important city in view.

personal prejudice, I am unable to say.
AS the terminus of our track would be
fifty feet from the market the excuse that
we would shut out the country carts is not
true. When council has just given per-
mission to the other company to lay double
track through the squares in the most
populous parts of the city there can GER
tainiy be no ground on which it can base
a refusal to permit single track through
FRANKLIN square. We cannot use the
track of the other company for the reason
that 1t will operate cars at the rate of one
every nVe minutes whereas we will only
nave car every hour. Consequently we
would only have chance to run up to the
market and out of sight again. 1t would
also place us under the thumb of the 9TH

damage was small.
The second fire was In a shop occupied
by Mr.. T. A. Ward adjacent to Smith &

The general alarm, which summoned the
entire department was sent in by Chief

1t Is the Good That Men Do

That lives after them. No man does more
good, either for himself, his family or his
friends, than when he has and keeps a
good volume of life insurance. It is an
anchor cast to windward to be available
for himself, should misfortune overtake
him, and will make his family independ-
ent in event of his death. The man who
reads this and thinks it is good logic,
should also take the precaution to inves-
tigate the policies of the Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company, organ
lied 1851. The company writes in every
policy the amount of cash and paid-up
participating insurance, available on any
anniversary after the first and in addi-
ton to these values, pays handsome divi-
bends every year. The company also
makes liberal loans on its policies The
laws of the commonwealth of Massachu-
sets do more to protect policy holders
without at the same time being burden
some to the companies, than the laws of
any other state in the union. 1t costs
nothing to investigate. Write, giving your

ENJOYING IRIS DEFEAT.
Opponents of the Turner Bill Jubl-

Opponents of the Turner Bill Jubl-
liant over the senate's Action.
The opponents of the proposed Bush"
bill legislation were jubilant yesterday
over the defeat of that measure in the
Senate. 1t is understood, however, that
the defeat was brought about by a close
shave, as practically up to the hour when
the vote was taken the position of two
or three senators was a matter of much
doubt.
Capt. W. w Starr of the Savannah
Brewing Company, who has been in At
lanta for several days during the fight
over the bill, returned to the city yes
terday, and was busy discussing the mat
ter with his friends. Capt. Starr was, of
course, delighted over the defeat of the
bill, but he had little to say for publlca-
ton. He considers of course, that the
doubtful members of the Senate took the
wise view of the case, and voted against
the bill
Anti-liquor legislation, however, has not
yet disappeared from the records of the
general assembly. In some form or other
1t will undoubtedly be heard from again
at this session. There are two or three
measures on this subject now pending
among them one prohibiting the sale of
any intoxicants in quantities less than a
pint. Opponents of the legislation hold
that such a law as this measure pro-
poses would make the ordinary drinker a
walking barroom. Instead of taking his
drink, as he does now, they say he would
carry a pint in his hip pocket, and take a
frequent nip.
1t Is expected that this measure will be
the next one to come up, and when 1t does
it will no doubt meet with as determined
opposition as did the Bush or Turner bill.

PLANNED SIGNAL STATIONS.

nah, One of the Naval Board.
Mr. Frank B. Anderson, formerly OF
this city, now holding a responsible posi-
ton with the American Exchange Ma
tional Bank of New York, was a member
Of the naval board recently appointed by
Secretary Long to consider the subject Of
coast signal stations for naval defense.
Lieut.. Anderson is signal officer of the
First Naval Battalion Of New York, and
Is one of the leading members Of the New
York naval militia.
The board was composed of Commander
Schouler. ex-chief of Admiral Bunces
staff; Lieut.. c. H. Harlow, flag lieuten-
ant North Atlantic squadron; Lieut.. Glib
bons of the navy department and Lieut..
Anderson. 1t was in session three days
at the navy department. The result of
its work was an elaborate plan for coast
signal stations on the Atlantic. Gulf and
Pacific coasts. A detailed report has been
forwarded to Secretary Long, celebrating
a network of stations to be manned by the
life saving service in times of peace, I'M
der the supervision of the navy depart
ment, and to be reinforced by the naval
militia IN time of war.
1t is considered that the naval militia
has received a very unusual compliment
from the regular service by reason of the
appointment of Lieut.. Anderson as mem
Der Of a naval board.
Tybee Island was named as one of the
possible lookout stations TO be located and
manned by the naval militia at Savan-
nah. Valuable work can be done by the
reserves in the study of the characters
tics of the locality in which they are sta
toned and of the means of communica-
ton now existing and of means that can
be adopted of sending the result of their
observations to the navy department. Spe>
cial attention is given to the army and
navy code and its application to the means
Of sending signals, to the possibility of
utilizing homing pigeons for flights from
the sea of not more than 1000 miles, to the
night system of signals and especially to
the adaptation of the naval code and the
long-distant international signals to a
four-armed semaphone.
These are some of the matters that will
form a part of the study and practice of
The militia in charge of signal stations.
Lieut.. Anderson is son Of Maj George
w. Anderson. He Is of a military family
and has attained prominence in naval
militia affairs.
