The Lnnnnese In HaMnii.

Adyices from Honolulu dated Oct. are
to the effect that 1900 Japanese were then
on their way to Hawaii and that they
would be followed almost at once
by 5000 others. From time to
time during the past few months
the dispatches from Honolulu have
told of the arrival of large bodies of Jap
anese in the islands, and sensational re-
ports from Honolulu and San Francisco
have endeavored to create in this country
the impression that these japanese, enter
ing the Islands as laborers, are really train
ed soldiers, veterans of the war with
China being massed in the islands for the
purpose of resisting annexation. The ar
rival of the japanese battleship Naniwa at
Honolulu month or so ago was used to
give color to these stories, notwithstand
ing the minister of Japan at Washington
had declared emphaucally that his gov
eminent had no Interior designs upon the
islands, and would not forcibly resist the
purpose of the government of the United
States.
There is a much more reasonable expla-
nation of the shipment of large numbers of
japanese laborers to Hawaii, and it would
not be surprising if it should be found the
true one. The Doles, Thurstons and other
annexationists in Hawaii are sugar plant
ers or other employers of labor to more
or less considerable extent When annex
alton goes into effect, a law to exclude Chi
nese and japanese laborers will also go
into effect. The Chinese and japanese la
borers who may be in the Islands when
annexation comes about cannot, under eX-
listing treaties, be run out of the country,
but others cannot enter. The employers,
therefore, are now stocking the labor
market to repetion with the orientals, in
order that they may hereafter have no
trouble in securing cheap labor. The hue
and cry about Japan sending soldiers to
the islands IN the guise of laborers is
probably all for the purpose of distracting
attention from the facts of the matter.

that she was murdered; that if it be as
sumed, for the purpose of argument, that
she is dead ana was murdered, there Is
not jot or little of PROOF that her hus-

proof that any Of the animal remains in

If Texas is to have conservatory
of music, it is only in accordance with
the eternal fitness that it should be
established in San Antonio, for there
is more interest taken in musical mat
tiers here, and more musical talent to
the square yard than in any other
city in the state. The proposition of
Prof. Schemmel, of the Nashville con-
servatory of music is practical, can be
met without much trouble and COM
mends itself to the support of those
who are interested in musical pro-
gress and culture, and not to these
alone, for the establishment of such
a conservatory would be splendid
thing for the city.

The farmers are not rushing their
wheat to market. Kentucky wheat
growers have come to the conclusion
that wheat is goin TO 81 and positive
ly refuse to sell at the price offered.
There are more farmers in the coun-
try that are able to hold their grain
this year than ever before, and that
grain is not going to be sold for spec
ulators to get the advance upon it..
Wheat is being stacked and corn will
be cribbed for higher prices. The To-
cal banks are ready to advance money
on wheat and corn in the hands of
the farmers and this will aid them in
carrying out their plans for holding
for winter prices.
