PLAN TO SECURE NECESSARY
LABOR.
Kalahiki Company Proposes to Sub
Lease Small Tracts to Men of Fam
lily With a Little Money.

The promoters of the Kalahiki Cof-
fee Company plantation on Hawaii be-
lieve that they can easily solve the
problem of labor in the coffee fields
by colonizing their lands with the
right sort of people. AS there is a
large area of coffee on the plantation
approaching maturity, it is probable
that the scheme will be put into oper-
alton before another twelve months
roll around, and the experiment will
be watched with interest by other ex-
tensive planters.
The proposition is to suitcase
coffee land to planters with families
who have but small capital. Small
tracts of growing coffee or simply
cleared land, say, of from 25 to so
acres, will be leased to one man--iust
enough for him to take care of with
the assistance of his family. A GER
tain percentage of the crops will go
to the coffee company and there will
be stipulation in the lease to the
effect that during the picking season
the services of the planter and his
family will be at the disposal of the
coffee company; that is, after the
small planter has taken his own crop
off. OF course, all of the coffee will
be cured, milled and disposed of by
the company at its own mill.
The kalahiki Coffee Company has
5000 acres of land adaptable to the
cultivation of coffee. 1t has now
nearly 200 acres of growing trees, and
is constantly adding to this area.
When the first big crop is ready to
take off it will be impossible to secure
pickers under the present conditions,
so that arrangements must be made
at once to provide the necessary labor.
The plan of the company is very
liberal one. Great care Will be taken
in the selection of colonists, and IL
the right sort of people can be secur-
ed they will be offered such terms as
will assure them a good living for the
remainder of their lives. The colo
nists will be recruited fro1u the Unit
ed States. There are plenty of small
farmers in the West who are strug-
Cling along on land that yields them
but scant support for their families.
They will be induced to dispose of
their property there and emigrate. \
prospective planter must have at least
$1,000 in cash to go into the coffee
business. If he is the right sort of
person the coffee company will Sc
cure for him all the credit he needs
to carry him through. He will be
taught the business by an expert, and
if he is successful on small patch
of ground will be given all the chance
he wants to go into the business on n
larger scale.
Through this mode of colonization,
the coffee belt will soon be populated
with thrifty lot of American fami-
lies. each one of whom will bring ac-
tual wealth into the country.

JAPS ON THE WARPATH.

A letter written by japanese Off
cial in Japan to a prominent japanese
in st. Louis conveys the information
that the japanese Government will
forward to Honolulu 1,500 Japanese
immigrants.
These prospective immigrants are
now in the garrison at Neegata, being
soldiers in the japanese service, and
will go on shore in Honolulu as sim
pie citizens.
The steamers which are to convey
these men have been chartered by the
Japanese Government and carry in
addition to the 1,5O0 passengers arms,
ammunition and military stores.
In addition three large men-of-war
are already prepared to leave 9oko-
hama to arrive at Honolulu at about
the same time as the landing of the
so-called immigrants will take place.

MORE SENATOR'S COMING.
Morgan and Quay viii Personally
Look Into Matters.

The China brought word today that
Senator Matthew Quay of Pennsyl-
vania and Senator Morgan, acting in
formally as agents of the Foreign Re
lations Committee, will visit Hawaii.
Senator Quay will leave for Homo
lulu in September, and in all proba-
bility Senator Morgan will accom-
pany him. He will make a thorough
study of the country and its adyan-
tages and disadvantages. He will re-
turn as soon as possible and will sub
init the report of his observations to
the Foreign Relations Committee.
Senator Morgan's report will be
looked forward to with great inter
est by public men, and his statement
it is safe to say, will be a strong ap-
peal for annexation.

Japan ASKS GUARANTEED DN AGAIN FLIES THE HAWAIIAN HMMT 0 THE WORLD W0H COFFEE LANDS
WANTS THE UNITED STATES TO
ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY.
If No Guarantee, Japan viii Drop
Negotiations and Make Naval Dem
onstration in Honolulu Waters.

NEW YORK, August A special
to the Herald from Washington says:
Japan will insist that the United
States assume a contingent RESPONSE
bility in the matter of the arbitra-
tion of her differences with Hawaii
on the subject of immigration and the
tariff.
1t is understood that this is one of
the essential conditions upon which
Japan will consent to arbitration, and
that if this responsibility is not as
sumed by the United States, Japan
will break off negotiations looking to
arbitration and back up her demands
by naval demonstration in Hawaiian
waters.
The State Department has not yet
received any official communication
from the Japanese Government on
this matter and the Administration
has not indicated whether or not it
will comply with the japanese de-
mand when made.
An official of the japanese Legation
said in an interviews
81 am not officially informed con-
cerning the limits of arbitration, but
that Japan should ask the United
States to take recognition of it and
assume an ultimate responsibility for
the decisions of the arbiter as regards
Hawaii being carried out, seems to
be very natural.
''If the United States refuses to give
us a guarantee it is probable that the
arbitration proposition will fail. We
prefer TO entertain a grievance and to
indemnify our subjects ourselves than
to arbitrate after the indignity of the
refusal by the United States of so just
request. Neither the United States
nor the Hawaiians can justly plead
disinterestedness. Frequently in the
Hawaiian-Japanese correspondence of
late the pending annexation has fgur-
ed as a factor in the situation. This
should operate in the arbitration case
as we'll"
WASHINGTON, August 4.-In the
last Hawaiian mail to reach the State
Department, bringing the record of
events on the islands up to the 21st of
last month, Minister Sewall tells in
detail of the diplomatic correspond
ence between Japan and the Hawaiian
Government growing out of the labor
controversy, and reports that in the
opinion of the best informed people
on the islands the Japanese Govern
ment will be amply content with a
recognition by the IIawaiians of the
principle for which they contend,
without insisting upon substantial pc
cuniary damages. 1t was also report
ed that the conduct of the negotia-
tions had been transferred entirely
| from Honolulu to Toxic.
LONDON, August 4.-According to
the Paris correspondent of the Daily
Mail, the Japanese ambassador to
| France, Some Arasuke, has explained
in the course of an interview, the sub.
| iect matter, of the forthcoming ar
rangement between Japan and Ha.
waii.
The Emabassador said: "The ar
rangement will deal only with the
question of indemnity for breaches OF
contract There is no suggestion ot
an arrangement with the United
States. because Japan does not recog
nize that the United States has any
right in Hawaii"

Oakley, a wealthy broker of Pittsburg,

woman, arrived from Los Angeles on
Monday morning. At the Palace hotel
Oakley secured the finest suit of rooms,

sister to the queen of Spain, and by an
inordinate daily and nightly consump-

which occurred soon afterward, was
attributed to heart failure"
