NOT AN UNTRIED POLICY.

Some of the London papers,
commenting on the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States, sneak
of it as "a new experiment in the
thorny path of Colonial expansion
"a new departure from Americas
historical policy" This Is not the
case, by any means. When Alaska
was purchased from Russia in
1871, objection was made by many
that it was too remote and separ-
ated from the United States, that
it was inaccessible, a cold and bar
ren land, fit only for Indians and
wild beasts. But it has proved not
only easily accessible, but each

The principle of arbitration is not
incompatible with the maintenance of
the dignity of the individual, or the
nation proposing to submit dispute
to an arbiter, nor does it deny the
business of the position of either party
to the dispute Some of the most
powerful nations OF the world have had
recourse to this method when they have
been at logger-heads with another ma
ton, and when an amicable settlement
has been desired. The results have
been almost uniformly satisfactory,
and have preserved the comfy of ma
lions, which in many cases could not
otherwise lave been accomplished.
Both Japan and Hawaii are fixed in
their positions in the present contro-
versy, and arbitration is solution.
It is to be hoped that Japan will accept
the offer of this Government. The last
dispatches from the United States con-
tanned the information that Japan had
refused to arbitrate. This does not
coincide with the interview secured by
the associate editor of the Washington
Star with Count Okuma, in which he
stated that resort to arbitration might
be the alternative if the countries could
not comSto an agreement. The spirit
that prompts a refusal to submit dis
pute to disinterested statesmen for set
Element, when two countries cannot
agree, is the spirit that threatens the
commercial, moral and social prosper
ity of the nations.

fiuence on the Senate for weeks past,
in the effort to abrogate the Treaty.
On the other hand, naturally, the Ha-
waiian sugar-growers are against any
change in the Treaty, which they re-
gard as reciprocal by the cession of
Pearl Harbor to the United States, in
exchange for the concession to Hawaii
of free sugar. Mr.. Spreckels and Henry
Oxnard, the President of the Beet
Sugar Association" quite ignore the
Pearl Harbor provision of the Treaty.
and apparently see only the free-sugar
side of the question. They have no in
terests in Pearl Harbor, but they have
vast interests in beet sugar. Mr.. Ok
nard talks freely and severely OF the
Hawaiian Sugar Trust and the "Ha-
waiian Lobby" in Washington, in the
interest of free sugar. At the same
time many other people are just as
sure that the Beet Sugar Trust is even
a more powerful lobby, and speak quite
as freely of the Beet Sugar Lobby"
Mr.. oxnard also holds up the evils of
cheap, or contract labor in Hawaii, and
yet Claus Spreckels, who now has the
largest interest IN the Beet Sugar
Trust, became a millionaire Sugar
King on this same cheap labor. The
friends of the ex-Queen Liliuokalani
declare, with some bitterness, that Mr..
Spreckels was but a half-hearted Roy
alist at any time. He did not oppose
annexation because of any love for the
monarchy, but because with annexation
there could be no more contract labor,
and therefore he would be deprived of
enormous profits in this line. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the sugar
beet industry of California will be kept
free of contract labor, as it is already
that Japanese have appear
ed in the beet fields, who are suspected
of coming into the United States, under
contract for this purpose.

HAWAII WILL BE ANNEXED.

1t Is very evident from the adj

the United States Government does
not intend to allow the anneXa-
ton Of Hawaii to 90 by default OF

has been laid before it, and may not
do SO. But. under the situation,

There seems to be no doubt that
the sugar beet enterprise in Cali
fornia is being inaugurated and
doomed with the help of japanese
laborers imported for this express
purpose. There is strong preba-
bility that they come over from
Japan or British Columbia under
contracts, that they know just
where they are going, what they
have to do, and what pay they are
to receive. The system may differ
a little from ours, but it amounts
to the same thing. Here is an
item from a California paper:

THE CHRISTIAN RNDEAvoRERs

Our San Francisco files are al
most wholly given up TO reports

meets, draws together an immense
crowd of men and women,-all
more or less enthusiastic in the
work they are engaged in,-teaeh-
ing and pracucing the truths and
doctrines of Christianity on a little
different, perhaps easier plane than

thusiasm often exceeds all bounds.

down by the rival salvation armies.
Wherever they assemble annually

thousand persons in each, were Sc

besides these a number of churches

The railroad fares had been re
duced for the occasion. and all who
chose to 90 from the Eastern States
could do so for $50 for the round
trip, out and back. 1t is said that
over five thousands come in by the
various overland railroad routes
without an accident. Regarding
these visitors. the Chronicle SAYS:

THE FOREIGN NEWS

Nothing important has been re-
ceived by the Australians mail rel

justed 80 as TO meet the views of
both Senate and House of Repre-
seuraives, much before the close
Of July. 50 that the bill may 90 into
effect on or about August 1st.
Secretary Gage has made the
suggestion that a clause be incor-
porared in the tariff bill, imposing
a tax Of one cent a pound on all
sugar refined from raws imported
prior 10 the passage Of the tariff
act. Il Is estimated that an inter
nal revenue tax Of this kind would

tax would cover most, If not all the
sugar that has been rushed into the
country during the past few
months 10 escape the increased
duty under the new tariff. OF
course the sugar trust would have

position can be brought TO a vote,

Senators are in league with the

shrewd one. whether It be carried
out or not.
Latest advices show no change In
the situation IN Turkey and
Greece. Turkey continues her
devastation Of the rich agricultural
province Of Thessaly, driving
out the Greek farmers and taking
their grain crops for her army's
use. Apparently the only reason
why the European powers do not
make q move Of some kind to con
vince Turkey that she must obey
