causes which are bringing about the
destruction of what they cherish.
Five hundred years ago the Byzan-
tines wearied every court i'll Europe
with petitions for assistance against
the Turks. The Byzantine ambas-
sailors and statesmen made use OF
somewhat similar arguments to
what we of the Pacific do now
against the Asiatics. But, in those
days, Constantinople was a long
way from Paris and London, and
even from Vienna, and no attention
was given to the matter, and finally
Constantinople fell and the Turk
established himself in a position
which the European powers OF the
present day, even, can't drive him
ont of. 1t was not the initial loss
it was the establishment of an
Asiatic power in Europe which has
caused. endless trouble and blood
shed.
The Australian Colonies know
the lesson and realize the danger.
They feel the Eastern pressure i'll
Thursday Island, where, in a quiet
way, the white man has been almost
entirely driven out by the Japanese.
They feel the pressure in Queens
land, and even New South Wales
realizes the situation A federated
Australia will be able to deal with
the problem more cnergetically than
the isolated colonies but even a
federated Australia will find con-
siderable difficulty in meeting the
danger.
Feeling in this way, the Austria
liam Colonies look with satisfaction
upon the annexation of the Hawai-
ian Islands by the United States.
They realize that such annexation
means the keeping alight the lamp
of Anglo-Saxon civilization in the
North Pacific, and they feel that
this will be an assistance to them
in their struggle against Asiaticlsm
in the south.
The Australasian Colonies look
upon the matter in no trade light.
While certain people in the United
States are haggling over a little
matter of trade, the Australians
realize a danger to Anglo-Saxon
insti utions, and show clearer i'll
sipht into the future than is ShOwr
by many people in the United
States.
A study Of Australian sentimen
would be of advantage to many OPP
ponents of the annexation of the
,ands, for it would show tina

colonists that they a:e willing tc

NEGRO LABOR.

In yesterdays Star the question
of negro labor was alluded TO, and
it was especially pointed out that
the matter required careful con-
sideration. Among other things,
it was suggested that the opinion
of the Southern Senators should be
taken upon the point. A telegram
received today by the Alameda says
that the Southern Senators, includ-
ing Senator Morgan, object. This
should be quite sufficient to close
up the matter.
Our planters, though confronted
with serious labor problem, have
carefully avoided pledging them
selves to the negro labor plan.
They wished to know how the
matter was regarded in the States.
The people who have urged negro
labor are those who are in the bust
ness, and who see their profit in
introducing the labor here. There
have been no promises made, and
the planters have waited to inform
themselves of the situation. 1t may
be taken for granted that there will
be no introduction of negro labor.

THE SENATE'S CALL.

In calling the Senate together to
ratify the Annexation Treaty, the
Government has done what it
should have done some time ago.
Had the treaty been negotiated
during the period when Congress
was not in session it would have
been done before the draft was sub.
mitted to the Senate-that is, it
would have gone to the Senate of
the United States bearing the rati-
fication of the Hawaiian Senate.
To Minister Hatch must be given
the credit of making the Cabinet see
the necessity and propriety Of an
act which has really been too long
delayed. His return here has en-
abled him to use arguments and
cite reasons which were convincing
to the Cabinet.
With the treaty ratified at this
end, there will be no difficulties in
the United States about ratification
on account of possible objection
here. 1t would have been a posi-
BILE objection on the part of some
United States Senators, but that
objection is now completely headed
off.
The news with regard to anneXa.
ton sentiment in the United States
is very encouraging. One gentle
man writes that he has watched the
progress of sentiment in this direc-
ton and finds the friends of annex
alton constantly increasing, while
the opponents are constantly com
ing over to the annexation ranks.

AERMOTORS-GOoD THINGS.

The Atrmotor Company
has, from the first, known
what to do and how to do it,
and, as a consequence, it came
without a name or much mon
ey into field in which mil
lions of dollars were entrench-
ed, and has taken, and now
holds and enjoys, at least one
half of the windmill business
of the United States and of
the globe.
We wish to say that the
Aermotor has been a most
pronounced success in the Ha-
waiian Islands. To-day we
are selling more of these mills,
both pumping and geared,
than all the other concerns
put together. Why? Be
cause we have the best mill
ON EARTHl
Our reason for claiming this
is simply because we are fortu-
nate enough to be the agents,
and because the mills we have
put up in various parts of the
islands have stood the test aUhere
others hare failed.

THE COLONIAL VIEW.

The attitude of the Australian
Colonies over the matter of the
annexation of these islands to the
United States is worthy of consider
able consideration. Strongly affili-
ated to the mother country and
deeply loyal to British traditions,
acquisitive of territory almost by
birthright, one would have thought
that the mere mention Of the an
nexation of these islands would
have thrown the colonies into
spasms of opposition. And two
years ago such would, undoubtedly,
have been the case. But a great
change has come over the colonial
ideas of late. They appreciate and
fear the Asiatic invasion. To them
it is no mere possibility-it is an
actual reality.
People who live in Washington
or in the East fail to realize the
danger of the Asiatic invasion as
people do on the Pacific coast, and
as they do in the Australian Colo
MES. To them it does not seem
possible that the distant East, the
far Cathay should ever mingle in
the politics of the United States, or
of any of the Anglo-Saxon States.
1t was long before the people of the
Atlantic seaboard could be made to
realize the reasons for California's
bitter feeling against the Chinese.
1t was, and is, difficult for them to
understand that there is danger to
the white man from the Asiatic /;
that not only does he compete I'M
fairly with the white mechanic in
the labor market and with the shop
keeper in trade, but that he is an
actual menace to the institutions
and national life of the Anglo
Saxon.
1t is no new thing for people dis
tant from point not to realize the

PRIMUS STOVES I!

So many different kinds of
oil stoves have been put on the
market during the past ten
years that it was with difficulty
that the best could be deter
mined upon until the PRIMUs
was introduced a year ago.
This stove burns a kerosene
vapor and is non. explosive.
You can turn it upside down
and no danger will result.
The oil tank cannot be filled
while burning, as the removal
Of the filler cap extinguishes
the flame instantly.
In point of simplicity it has
no equal, for it has no wick,
burns any grade of kerosene,
and the fame can be regulat-
ed. 1t produces a heat of
from 2l0O degrees to 1900
degrees Fair, and consumes
one quart of oil in five hours
consecutive burning. This
means an expense Of 2 cents
per hour.
Nothing but solid brass is
used in the manufacture of the
PR1MUs, and when in operation
it is absolutely odorless.
1t will bring a quart OF
water to boiling in 3 minutes.
We have half a dozen styles.
Single, double and triple burn
ers. Extensions for singles
so that three kinds of vege.
tables may be cooked at once
Soldering irons, fatiron heat
ers, obens, and everything
necessary to cook a meal.

night Mr. Fisher wanted to know If the

Mr.. Meaney. in behalf OF the joint
committee. stated that the committee
was considering the matter. and would
report in due time. He did not think,
however, that the committee should be
forced to report.
Mr.. ONeill, another of the commit
tee, stated the committee had come to
the understanding that IL would not
recommend the purchase of any more
chemical engines for the present. but in
lieu thereof each Of the companies not
having a chemical engine would have
its Appropriation increased $500. The
city's finances. he said, were in such
condition that they could not recon-
