Herbert Myrick writing for the

The American question of the
Day." says the striking out of the
Hawaiian clause In the Senate
sugar schedule was admittedly
subterfuge to capture Senator

whether Mr.. Myrick speaks from
the card or not, but if he does we
hope the temporary rejection of
the clause has served It's purpose
and the item will be promptly
restored. Mr.. Myrick does not
favor the continuance of what he
terms 'EHawaii's unfair and unjust

ley bill provides, but when he COM

schedule had made a sharp divi-
sion in the ranks of the sugar men
of the United States, and that
many who have been our enemies

After reviewing the situation as
gained from newspaper reports the
New York Sun says of Hawaii's
troubles with Japan: NWhat will
be the outcome? Possibly the ia
panese Minister will take himself
home in dudgeon. If Hawaii stood
alone she might quickly be forced
to submit, as she has no navy, while
Japan has a strong one. But prob
ably she relies, and not without
reason, on the fact that she has

will not see a question of dis
puted treaty Interpretation de-
cided against her by brute force.
The exact merits of the case can
not yet be fully Judged of, perhaps,
as the diplomatic correspondence
has not been made public. But the
controversy suggests the kind of
difficulties that the little island re-
public will have to be prepared for
while she remains in her present
political isolation. Fortunately
that isolation may not continue
very long"

A slight cold, if neglected, is just as

PLEA FOR THE SHORT LINE ROADS
Receiver Chamberlain and Albert
Allen Working at Olympia.

Olympia, Wash, Feb. 6.-Receiver
Charles Chamberlain of the Central
Washington, and Attorney Albert Allen
of the Spokane Falls & Northern railroad,
appeared before the joint railroad com
mittee last night in the interest of the
short line railroads Of the state.
Mr.. Chamberlain exhibited facts and
figures from the actual business of his
road for the past year, with estimates
on the same under the Miller railroad
rate bill under consideration. 1t was
shown that II the bill passed as drawn
1t would result in such disaster to the
short line roads that 1t would place them
at the mercy of the larger lines. The
Miller bill orders a reduction of rates
January /, 1897. and Chamberlain and
Allen showed that the Central Washing
ton and Spokane Falls & Northern had
made voluntary reductions in rates since
1898 which are so far below the present
rates of the transcontinental lines that
arbitrary enforcement of the reductions
proposed in the Miller bill would rob
them of all ability to pay fixed charges.
| The committee decided on making the
| transcontinental roads submit similar
statements of earnings and expenses to
those presented by smaller roads. The
committee will meet again Friday even

pursues his present plan he will move to
take up the Nicaraguan canal bill during
the morning hour Monday. He expects
the motion to be antagonized, and in that
event will secure vote which will, he
thinks, demonstrate the voting strength
of the canal bill. He expects the vote 10
be largely in the majority. but whatever
the result, he probably will announce his
abandonment of the bill for the present
session on account of the determined OBJ
struction to its passage, while at the same
at the same time he will declare his pur-
pose to press the measure with more de-
termination than ever at the next session

from its present place at the head of the
calendar will leave the way open for TAX
Ing up other measures pressing for con-
sldcration. The diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill has already been re-
ported. and there will be an effort made
to secure attention to 1t Monday. The

the Indian and agricultural bills reported

sideration.

portunity to conclude his speech on the
Pacific railroad resolutions. Senator Nor
