PEARL HAkBok RETREAT.

Senator Frye in his interview
published recently touches upon IL
point that viii figure prominently
In influencing Senatorial opinions
upon the Reciprocity Treaty
the exclusive use of Pearl Harbor.
1t is well konwn that American
statesmen are 10th TO loosen the
grip of the United States IN Pearl
HarbOr rights. Whatever their
ideas ON the mutual benefits of the
Treaty may be, whether they favor
annexation or not, a large MAORI
ty appreciate the advantage al
ready gained for d naval and coal
ing station In the Pacific and will
think twice before placing that adj
vantage on the market. Secretary
Sherman has stated more than
once his belief that the United
States has paid for Pearl Harbor
twice over, but as nothing was said
of value received" in the Treaty
or the correspondence accompany
ing it, there Is small probability
of Mr.. Sherman's argument hold
ing diplomatic water.
Although as Senator Frye says,
at the time the Treaty was made
the committee on foreign relations
considered the cessiOn of the har
Dor eternal, there is nothing in the
correspondence between Secretary
Bayard and Minister Carter adj
hitting this. In fact the CORE
spondence strengthens the claim
that abrogation of the Treaty
leaves Hawaii free to do what it
pleases with Pearl Harbor. OF
course if the United States asserts
its eternal rights to the harbOr and
makes known its readiness to back
up the assertion with warships,
Hawaii will have to bow the knee.
We do not believe however, a ma
ioritv can be secured to assert such
a policy. If the fight over the
Treaty reaches a critical stage,
Hawaii's friends will have in the
control of the key to the Pacific"
vantage ground upon which the
fiercest abrogationists will tread
with care

Honolulu people ought to turn
out "A large audience for the con
cert of the Choral Society this
evening. The local musicians are
seeking to give this community a
touch of the progressive spirit
shown in musical circles in many
cities of the United States. The
reward they request from the pub
lie is certainly within reason,
merely cooperation and fair
amount of interest in the work
that is being done. Our people
are credited with being lovers of
the artistic and classical when
abroad. We trust they will dis
play the same tendencies when
called upon to support the efforts
of home talent.

JAPAN'S COLONIAL METHODS.

Japan's capabilities and inten-
tentions as colonizing power are
drawing not little hot shot from
the English papers of the Orient.
The way some of those journals are
calling upon Great Britain to take
a hand in staying Japan's course
indicates that Japan has numerous
delicate matters to deal with at
home and strengthens the claim
that a serious row over the Hawai-
ian matter just at the present time
would be most unwelcome if not
decidedly dangerous.
The association of Japan's name
with the troubles in the Philip
pines is quite common and wheth-
er merited or not the japanese are
credited with having more than an
Indifferent interest in those islands
and are watched accordingly. In
Formosa the policy of Japan Is
criticised most severely on account
of what is characterized as the
thinly yelled intention to Gust the
foreigner wherever he comes into
commercial contest with the Japa
nese. The Overland China Mail
declares that the japanese have in
stituted "a lot of red tape, entire
" a variance with the way of
doing business in FormOsa, and
their regulations tend principally
to benefit japanese merchants"
The Mail calls upon the home gov
eminent to put stop to this pc
culiarly aggressive spirit which
has Overtaken the japanese as a
race and force the japanese to re
cognize the principle of Give and
let live"
The japanese papers defend the
FormOsan situation by stating that
it is not the intention of following
the European custom of governing
the native tribes by bribery and
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-05-11

coercion. They claim the govern
ment will rule in a manner that
will benefit all clGsses and deal out
Justice irrespective of nationality
or personal rank. They further
assert that the cutlery from the
English press Is due to Jealousy
and the difficulty European deal
ers experience in attempts to elude
tariffs and taxes.
The Formosan controversy not
only suggests that Japan has trou-
bles of It's own near home; it also
suggests that our Oriental friends
are disposed to favor protective
policy, to look out for their own
merchants first and, in opening up
new territory, retaliate in quiet
way giving Europeans a taste OF
their own medicine We can
hardly take the japanese to task
on this account They have taken
their lessons from the white man.
1t is well for the white man to
realize, however, that he is not
dealing with a race of children
which can be handled as easily as
the Chinese for instance. Japan
has been taught some expensive
lessons. The officials have learned
TO 90 slowly and carefully and
hold on TO every point gained.
They have learned the European
ways of conducting colonial and
international business and must
be reckoned with on that basis.

WAIMEA HOSPITAL.
Report OF Fifteen Past Months
Presented.

On March 31st the Waimea Hospital
ended it's first Is months of active
service. The institution was projected
a few years ago to supply a want in
the community which had been ap-
parent for some time. Since the cree
ton of the hospital it has been well
patroniZed, and the actual benefits
which have been derived from it can
scarcely be computed.
The total cost of erecting and fur
nishing the building was $2,514.35. The
funds were raised partly by subscrip-
tions and partly through the efforts OF
the Waimea Ladies' Benevolent SOci-
ETY.. The society gave series of en-
tertainments which netted the sum of
81, 92O.4O.
The running expenses for the 10
months were $35S.71, and the salaries
of the nurses were $593.50 a total of
S952.21. Of the SO patients admitted
during the period, Al were paying.
There were discharged 81 patients,
II were relieved, died and remained
in the hospital on March 31st. They
were divided into nationalities as fol-
lows: Hawaiians, 16; Japanese, 25;
Chinese, 9; Whites, 6, and other ma
tionalities, 3. Eight of the patients
were females and 81 males. The aver
age length of time spent in the hos
pital was 90 days. The cost of pa
tients per day was II cents.
