DO NOT WANT HAWAII.

VICTORIA, b. C., May 19.-Marquis
Ito, who arrived from Japan on the
steamer Empress of India, in speak
ing of the reports that Japan seeks
to annex Hawaii, denies them en-
phatically. He said: "If the Hawaiian
Government should offer us the isl
ands we would refuse them. They are
too far away to be of any use to us.
Besides, Japan wishes to be on friend
ly terms with the United States, and
the Washington Government would be
certain to regard our taking posses
sion of the islands as an unfriendly
act.

TREATY 70 Be MODIFIED
SENATOR ALDRICH OUTLINES
COMMITTEES PLAN.
He Thinks There VIII Be No Diff
Guilty in Securing a Change That
win Not Injure Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-During
the tariff debate today, Senator Aid
rich said:
The committee will also prepare and
present an amendment to the House
provisions in regard to the Hawaiian
treaty. The existing commercial
treaty between the United States and
the Government of these islands pro-
vides for the free admission of raw
sugars, the product of these islands,
into the United States. If this treaty
should remain in force it would result
in giving bounty to the Hawaiian
sugar producers amounting to more
than $S,000,000 per annum 1t was
not contemplated when the original
treaty was made or when it was eN-
tended that any possible advantage
of this kind could ever result from its
terms to the people of the Sandwich
islands.
The effect of this bounty would un-
doubtedly be to stimulate enormous
/ ly the production of sugar in the Ha-
waiian islands. While we cannot fair
! lv abrogate a treaty of this kind with
friendly country without notice, we
/ believe that negotiations should be at
once entered into, looking to such a
modification of the treaty as will re-
/ duce the bounty to be paid Hawaiian
sugar producers to Il reasonable sum,
and the committee will present an
amendment looking in that direction
at an early day.
There should be no difficulty in Sc
curing through the treaty-makiug
power such modification of the treaty
as will be satisfactory to both coun-
tries without injury to either. 1t GER
tainly cannot be expected that the
United States will continue for any
length of time to pay a bonus of seven
or eight millions of dollars per annum
as an inducement to any foreign coun.
try to trade with us. 7 assume there
will be no difficulty in securing proper
notifications of the treaty so that il
will not be necessary for the Govern.
ment of the United States to give the
one years notice of abrogation OF
the treaty as provided for by its
terms.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
FULL REPORT TO BE MADE TO
THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.
Probable Increase N the Number Of
Hawaiian Depositors-Big business
Done with Chinese Laborers.

One of the features of this years
report of the Government Savings
Bank to be made to the Finance De-
partment, will be statement show
ing the number of Hawaians who
have money on deposit in that insti-
tuition. The other nationalites will
also be included in the list. The ag-
gregate amount of the deposits will
be given and comparison made.
Superintendent Clay says that the
Department is supplied with these
statements every two years. None
were furnished last year.
There has been slight increase, it
is believed, in the number of Ha-
waian patrons of the Government
Bank. That the increase may con-
tinue throughout the remainder OF
the year is the sincere wish of all who
have the interests of the Hawaiians at
heart. One fault of this race has been
their improvident mode of living. The
deposits at the Savings Bank are in
creasing quite rapidly. Several hum
dred new accounts have been opened
for the Chinese who have entered the
country under contracts. Each con-
tract laborer is required to deposit
$1.5O each month in the bank, which
money is to insure his return at the
expiration Of his contract.
An interest of 41a per cent is paid
on time deposits not exceeding $500.
There is a noticeable increase in the
money order department. 1t is sur
prising the number of Japanese doing
business with this department, their
orders being nearly all domestic.
There is a big swelling in foreign or
ders, also.
An order was posted up yesterday
giving notice that no foreign orders
would be issued on the day of the de-
parture of the Australia. This is a rule
Superintendent f. r. Oat and his staff
have been obliged to introduce in or
der that they can get up their worl,
in time for outgoings steamers on the
day of sailing. People can just as
well get their orders the day previous,
excepting in very few cases. which are
generally attended to by the ever
obliging officials of the money order
department.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 1s.-After five
years of vigorous fighting by the beet
sugar manufacturers of the State, the
State has consented to give money
bonus for all beet sugar made in any
considerable quantity in this State.
Governor Black today signed the
bill that provides for yearly bonus
of $4,000 to be paid out to beet sugar
manufacturers at rate not exceeding

from beets grown within New York

ceived not less than s. per ton. pro

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Sugar
Trust has begun to sue for peace. The
storm of opposition has resulted in a
backdown from the schedule rs plac-
ed in the Senate bill an, in the deter

Trusts leaders will agree to "A sched-

there is no reason why a compromise
shall not be reached and the producers
and refners agree on schedule. as
outlined above. This is regarded as
the Trusts pronunciamento, and
causes much comment. In addition,
the Trust agents now say that they
expect the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty
to be kept in the bill but with altered
provisions, by putting one-third tax
on sugar from the islands. Colonel

Tropical Fruits.

Visitors to til shores are
admirers of the reat abun-
dance of Tropical J ruits to be
seen growing in the large
grounds of the private resi-
dences, but they invariably ask
why it is so difficult to obtain
this same fruit at the stores.
1t is simply because those who
make it their business to sell
the fruit to the stores, do not
understand the manner OF
handling it to the best advan-
tage to have it bring a fancy
price. This evil can be reme-
died by the investment Of so
cents in Wire Fruit Pick

structed that it will pick all

gator Pear to the Rose Apple

NEW YORK, May 22.--A special

says: Private letters received in Bos-

The story is: The visit of S. NJ. Da-
mon and Major Iaullea to LONDON has
other significance than the bearing of
the congratulations of the Hawaiian
Government on the occasion of the
Queens Jubilee. 1t seems to be an
undisguised fact that the movements
at the United States capital at Wash
ingtOn in connection with the sugar
schedule of the tariff bill are intended
to abrOgate the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty, and the greatest CONSERVATION
is felt in the islands The outcome Of
this agitation for the practical, if not
actual. abrogation of the treaty has
interest not wholly devoid of meaning
and the Hawaiian Government has for
weeks past maintained careful and
intelligent agents near the seat of the
american Government.
The actions of the United States
officials are noted closely, and it is
now stated that the true mission of
Minister Damon and Major Taukea to
London is, in the event of the success
of the attempts to overthrow recipro-
city, to proceed at once to the negotia-
tion of a treaty of cession of the ITa-
waiian islands to Great Britain. No
step toward this end will he made un-
less the abrogation of the reciprocl "
treaty should become a fixed fact.

"Do you wish Hawaii to come in as

Not as a State, for ! recognize that
with our mixed population it would
not be practical step. The political
parties in this country are so evenly
divided that it would not do to have

he coolly lighted another cigar and
went on.
