But aggregate numbers are not
those that should be looked at. Per-
centages are the things really to be
considered, when anyone goes in for
calculations as to numbers. Masses of
figures do not tell the tale properly.
Taking the people of these islands
by nationalities, it is clear that 26.5
per cent of the American population
was born here. OF those claiming
British descent 31.6 were born on the
islands. The German births on the
islands amount to 1868 of the German
population here, but the Portuguese
births come up to the highest record.
They show that 1873 per cent of the
children born of foreign parents come
from that nationality.
Turning to the Asiatics, a very diff
ferent story is told. In spite of num-
bers, the percentage is previously low.
The japanese population in these ISL
ands amounted on September 81, 1896,
to 24,407, and of this number only SIS
per cent were born here. 1t might be
urged that the Japanese have been

argument has some weight, but let us
turn to another Asiatic race and CON
slider its fecundity. We have here at
the present time 1889 Chinese. This
is a population that has lived here for
years. In point of fact the white
element used to fear the overwhelming
influence of the Chinese, just as much
as we now look at the possible DOM
mating influence of the japanese.
Taking the figures it will be found
that children born here. both of whose
parents are Chinese, only 1913 per cent
can be credited to that nation.
To put the matter fair and square
before the public the white races are
those which are the most fecundative
while the Asiatic races are no
where near them. Of course the truth
lies in this, that the bulk of the Amer
leans and Europeans who come to
these islands come to make their
homes here. They are true colonists.
The Asiatic is only a bird of passage.
A few stay here, but the bulk only
get what they can and then fly to
other climes.
From the annexationist point of
view the showing is good one. There
is no trouble about an overwhelming
mass of Asiatics to take in. The over
whelming mass does not exist. And

A MENACE.

The position of the japanese in this
ocean is beginning to attract the at
tention of other countries as The Star
was sure it would. Germany has
caught on to the fact, and the 'Kreuz
Zeitung" calls attention to the policy
of Japan. Any student of history must
see the inevitable trend of Japan.
Japan is starting out TIC make herself
what Athens was before the Pelopon-
nesian war. She is essentially a sea
power. She will gradually, if the
American and European powers allow
her, make her power grow in the Pa
cific and will finally try to dominate
the ocean.
This is what Anglo-SaXon civiliza-
ton has to guard against. The trouble
with Anglo Saxon civilization is that
it is not united. 1t quarrels within it.
self. United it would carry its des-
ting in spite of any other set of pow
ers, but disunited it can possibly be
cut off in detail.
Hawaii stands as a bulwark of Anglo
Saxon civilization in the North Pacific
1t is the manifest duty of the nearest
Anglo Saxon state to support the lit
lie Republic in every way. These dots
on the broad Pacific mean great deal
more than their area suggests. Com
mercially the Hawaiian Islands are val
liable, but their maritime and strate.
gle Importance is far greater to the
Anglo Saxon powers than their mere
commercial value.
There is no doubt that to the future
commerce of the Pacific the control Of
the Hawaiian Islands will be master
key. The question is who shall hav,
that control? 1t will be fought for il
time, when the sleeping giants around
the ocean wake up into active life. Bu
possession is nine points of the, law
and would it not be better for the
United States to take possession now
than spend any quantity of blood anC
treasure to obtain the desired posi-
ton afterwards?

Jules Verne's story of "Round the
World in Eighty Days" has long ago
been eclipsed by Nelly Bly,, of San
Francisco journalistic fame. She did
the trip in some seventy-odd days,
beating her competitor, who went
round in the opposite direction. But
the new trans-Siberian railroad is GO
ing to reduce the time immensely, it
is figured out as follows: New York
to Bremen, seven days; Bremen to St.
Petersburg, one and a half days: St.
Petersburg to Vladivostok, eight and a
half days; Nladivostolk to Sah Fran
cisco, nine days; San Francisco to New
York, four days. Total, thirty days.
The allowance of four days between
San Francisco and New York seems
too small. But the eight and half
days between St. Petersburg and Via
divostok could certainly be reduced.
Russian railroads, however, are pro-
verbally slow and are hardly ever run
on time.

The European war seems nearer
than ever. 1t is evident that Greece
has strong enough backing to prevent
her from yielding to the demands of
the powers. Six days have been given
her to make up her mind about with
drawing from Crete, but the situation
will be the same at the end of the six
days. The campaign will undoubted-
ly start in Thessaly and Macedonia,
but the theater of the war will very
soon exceed those narrow limits. The
next steamer from the Coast will most
probably bring the news that hostil-
tiles have actually commenced. 1t will
also let us know how the powers are
going to range themselves. The re-
suit of this coming war will probably
be an entire break up of the European
system and radical change in the
management of the various states.

this. The table runs as follows:

THE STATE LAND BOARD.
UTAH GUANo coMPANY's CLAIM
ON GUNNIsoN ISLAND.
Considering Means to Rescind the
Former Action-A Land Attorney
May Be Disbarred = Acceptance
of Accomplishments

AT yesterdays session of the state
land board a lot of routine matters.
chiefly the acceptance of relinquish-
ments in favor of the state, were gone
through. Late in the afternoon the
board went into executive session, and
it was whispered, unofficially that the
commissioners, while behind closed
doors, had under consideration the
question of bringing disbarment pro-
ceedingS against a certain land attor-
ney for unprofessional conduct or
something of that sort detrimental to
a clients and the states interests.
Another subject discussed during the
executive session was as to what, if
any, steps should be taken TO defeat
the Utah Guano company's placer min
ing location of the valuable fertilizing
deposits on Gunnison Island, and if pos
sible to Tescind the action taken where
by Alfred Lambourne's conflicting
homestead entry was relinquished to
the state upon execution of the con-
tract to let LambouTne purchase the
land in question from the state at 81. SO
per acre. When Lambourne's relin-
Quishment was accepted the board was
not aware that the entry was upon the
guano deposits, which are reckoned to
be worth very much more than the
purchase price agreed upon. A contest
over the boards selection of state lands
on Gunnison Island is quite likely, and
it is equally probable that the contest
will not be terminated until it has been
passed upon by the courts. The land
board will meet again this afternoon.

NEW FREIGHT TARIFF.
The Rates on Live Stock Will E
Increased In Some Gases.

The new live stock tariff which has
Short Line and the Rio Grande Western
and other western roads goes into enect
On The 18TH inst.
THE schedules have been issued in
book form. One feature of the arrange
nent is that in the future shipments OF
cattle hogs and sheep must be paid
for according to weight, while for the
shipment of range aloTses and mules the
cars Will be rented, as has been the
custom heretofore.
Under the new tariff the expense of
shipping cattle, sheep and hogs will be
changed i'm many instances. Cattle Will
be shipped ait the rate of 615a cents per
100 pounds; hogs, S21la cents, and sheep
81 cents, while under the old arrange
nents the rate between local points and
the Missouri river has been $132.15 per
car for the same class of live stock.
The minimum weight for each car is
fixed for cattle 81 500 pounds; Tor hogs
$1,000 pounds, and $4,000 pounds for
stleep. If a car contains less than the
minimum weight the shipper must pay
for tine full amount anyway. and should
it contain more than the regular
amount the excess Will be charged for
at the usual rates.
On heavy shipments the new tariff is
to the advantage of the railroad. but
in cases of some light shipments the
advantage, however slight, goes to the
skipper.
Under the old arrangement the cost
of the rent Of a, car for a sheep ship
nlent was $13215 under the new tariff
$131.10. In the case of cattle there is
loss of about cents per car to the
shipper, and it will cost to ship a. car
load of hogs under the new schedule
