DEMAND FOR RECIPROCITY.

TeIecrams Sent to Senator Perkins
by the Chamber of Commerce.
The following telegram was sent to
Senator Perkins yesterday by the
Chamber of Commerce:
1.-The Chamber of Commerce reas-
serts it's position in favor of retaining
the reciprocity section with Hawaii in
the tariff act, which has proved so
profitable to the State and this city,
benefiting all it's various industries
and productions and building up and
preserving to the American flag the
only section of our foreign commerce
controlled by the Union, has given our
citizens an opportunity to prove their
zeal and ability as coloniZers and has
given to the American people the con-
troll of the North Pacific and it's ISL
ands' commerce, and we, who have
honored you to represent us as United
States Senator, now demand that our
wishes, representing the entire bust
ness community of the State, shall
have your first and best support.
Recent returns from California
beet sugar refineries show under the
present Wilson tariff dividends of 40
per cent per annum and upward, eX-
elusive of bounty. Such returns, with
out further increase, now afford ample
protection to the preservation of the
beet sugar industry. From this end
it appears to us that the opposition to
the present reciprocity with Hawaii
emanates from the sugar trust, which
is now interested in the principal fac
tories in this State, and with the abro-
CATION or modification of the treaty
will be able to crush out the smaller
factories to the detriment of the farm
ers and consumers. This is a national
question, and every Senator must
know what a source of danger Ber-
muda proved during the years 1S61-65
to the Union. Hawaii, vastly more
important in area and wealth, in other
hands than American, would destroy
our control of the Pacific Ocean. Will
liam III. Seward, when he secured Alas
ka, never contemplated surrendering
Hawaii to the foreigner.

Hawaiian sugar is practically bounty
OF $50 a ton, which, as sugar IS pro-
duced by peon and contract labor, Is
really the amount Of the cost CT pro-
duction, which gives the producers too
great an advantage over California
beet sugar producers.
While the Senate Finance Commit
tee has informally considered the sus-
ar schedule, nothing definite VIII be
done until the latter part of next week.

THE FLAGSHIP BALTIMORE.

In July.

In July.
WASHINGTON, April A. The
cruiser Baltimore, which has under
gone a thorough overhauling at Mare
Island Navy Yard, will become the
flagship of the Pacific station early
this summer in place of the Philadel-
phia, now flying Admiral Beardslee's
flag in the harbor of Honolulu. The
change will take place in July, when
Admiral Miller relieves Admiral
Beardslee of the command of the sta
ton. The Philadelphia requires ex-
tensive repairs, and will be laid up at
Mare Island.
