JAPAN's TRADE.
Exports Go To merica-Imports
Come From Europe.

| Exports Go to Ameri erica-Imports
| Come From Europe.
The "Mainichi" says that America
has been absorbing eight-tenths OF our
total exports. In spite of this Japan
| is importing all the machinery, in
struments, tools and implements, raw
materials, etc, not from America but
from Europe. In fact, Japan has not
reciprocated her commercial friendship
with the United States. This is what
the Americans often complain of, and it
is not an unreasonable complaint. But
why has the trade with her continued
in this unbalanced state for thirty
long years? The reasons for this ap-
pear to be first, that the policy hitherto
pursued by the Americans has been
such that they were SO much occupied
in fostering and developing their do
mestic industry as to be unable to come
out abroad and get orders; and second
ly, that they have almost paid no at
tention to the markets In the Orient;
and thirdly, although with the progress
of their agricultural and manufacture
ing industries and the consequent in
crease of productions, the power OF
navigation between America ana the
East has been in the hands of Euro
peans and also the rate OF freight has
always been dearer as compared with
that between Europe and the Orient.
AS such they could by no means
secure large demands for their pro-
ducts in the Eastern markets. From
this it will be seen that the un-
equilibrium Of Japan-American trade
is simply natural. However, this is
not the way to expand the trade be-
tween the two countries. Nor is IL
desirable for the promotion of friend
ship between them. This state of af-
fairs should therefore be remedied at
once. The opening Of navigation to
New York will be one of the most i'm
portant steps as a means of remedy.
Although America has been an agricul-
tural country her manufacturing in
dustry has now greatly developed and
actually she can produce rails cheaper
than Europe but the difference Of
freights does not qualify her to outrun
Europe. Such examples are not few.
Should a line of steamers to New York
be opened and the freight be reduced,
there would be a lot of American pro-
ductions which can profitably be i'm
ported into our country. American
cotton, for instance, has become so
important for us as to feel the necessity
for opening up some way of more con-
veniently importing it.

= For Furious Driving.

c. Won Hamm is the owner of very
fine bay horse which he drives out
regularly every afternoon. Saturday
Mr.. Won Hamm imagined King street,
from the Executive Buildings east, to
be race track and let his horse out
at speed dangerous to life and limb.''
Lieutenant Dunbar and Patrolman An
drews were coming in from the Base
ball Park at the time and met Mr.. Won
Hamm, who was driving at furious
rate. They watched him for moment,
and then started after him, overhaul
ing him somewhere about the Alter
toms. Won Hamm was placed under ar
rest. He asked the officers-to be al
lowed to take the lady, who was with
him, to her home, but the request was
denied, and he drove to the Station
House, and on depositing bail was re-
leased.

Poor I'm France Suffering From
Rise In Prices.


NEW YORK, August 21.-The Her
AIDS cable from Paris says: Serious
alarm has been caused here this week
by the remarkable advance in the price
of wheat. AS much as 80 francs per
quintal has been reached in certain
markets, and all along the line quota
tions range from 28 francs so CEN
times to 29 francs.
Already the poorer classes have be-
gun to feel the effects of this state OF
things. Bread has risen from 65 cent
lines per loaf of four pounds to 85 cent
lines.
Nor is it mere greed of gain that
has caused this rise. The official price
of bread is fixed for Paris by the Pre-
lecture de la Seine. This week account
has been taken of the rise in the price
of wheat by the notification that the
cost of a four-pound loaf, including
baking, has mounted to 76 centimes.
The papers for several days past
have been full Of articles dealing with
this subject. 1t has been made the
catise for an attack upon the Govern
ment Dear bread in fact, bids fair
to become an election cry.

REGISTRY MUST ISSUE.
Judge Perry Decides That China
is Hawaiian Vessel.

/ On Saturday Judge Perry handed
holds that Col. Geo. w. Macfarlane has
| complied with the law providing for
the registry of foreign-built ships, and
| a register must therefore issue to him.
He quotes the statutes of this and other
Governments to support his decision.
Incidentally the question of citizen
ship is settled also. 1t is probable that
the Government, will appeal the case to
the Supreme Court.
In his decision, Judge Perry holds:
1. That the Constitution providing
lthat one born in these Islands is a
citizen settles the question Of George
MacfarlaneS citizenship. 2. That own
ership of the title to the vessel, in ma
rine law, is sufficient evidence of own
ership. That the Hawaiian law does
not forbid, as the American and Brit
iSh laws forbid, the ownership of a YES
sci, as trustee for others and foreign
ers. That it has been the practice here,
for many years, to grant registration
to vessels held by Hawaiian citizens as
trustees for foreigners, and the Gov
ernment has ratified it, and the Legis-
lature has acquiesced. This acquies-
cience is not actually binding on the
Court, but aids it in interpreting the
law. 3. The law directs the Collector
to register, if he is satisfied there is
no legal impediment, and there is
none in this case. The Collector must
act with reason and not arbitrarily.
The true reason given for refusal to
register the vessel is that this Govern
ment has assured the Government of
the United States that it will not issue
registers to vessels Of this kind. This
is not a good reason in law. The reg
lister must, therefore, be issued
