application some time ago for q wharf
franchise at the foot of Railroad avenue,
appeared before the board of trustees
today in regard to the matter AT pre-
vious meeting the board had decided to
grant the franchise, if the applicant
would agree to extend the width of the
structure from sixteen to twenty-four
feet, and, Furthermore, furnish bond
of $1,000 as an evidence of good faith con-
cerning it's early completion. Mr.. Elliott
signified his willingness to extend the
width to twenty feet, but refused to put
up bonds.
Today, after some discussion, the
board passed resolution to grant j. c.
Elliott franchise for pleasure wharf,
providing it should not be less than
twenty feet wide at any part; to be at
least 1880 feet long; work to begin within
sixty days, and wharf to be completed in
six months, or franchise to become null
and void; the work to be approved by
any competent engineer; and, further,
that Mr.. Elliott should put up bond of
$1,000, with two sureties, to insure the
completion of the structure within the
stipulated time. Although Mr.. Elliott
was anxious for the franchise and said
he was in earnest in his desire to build
the wharf, he said he did not feel like
putting up the bond, as unforeseen cir
cumstances might prevent it's being fin
ished in the given time, and that he then
would be out his $1,000.

SENATOR WHITE INCONSISTENT
The San Francisco Chronicle says
editorially:
Senator White is getting badly tan
gled in his efforts to misrepresent this
state on the Hawaiian question. A
day or two ago he declared that annex
alton was unwise because it would
compel the United States to go to the
expense of defending the Islands from
foreign attack. Now he brings for
ward resolution declaring that it is
the purpose of this government not
to annex Hawaii, but to defend its in
dependence. In other words, America
cannot afford to protect it's own flag
and sovereignty there, but it has am
pie resources, in Senator Whites
opinion, to protect the flag and SOW
eighty of the Hawaiian republic

JAPS MAY LEAVE HAWAII.
FIVE THOUSAND SAID TO BE
GOING TO THE KLONpTKE.
A Big Syndicate in Japan IS Back Of
the Scheme-Transpor Facili-
ties Already Arranged.

Alex Sheppard and r. d. Moler are
authority for the statement that a
standing army of 5000 able bodied
Japanese laborers is being got togeth-
er in Hawaii for the purpose of inrad-
ing the Klondike gold fields. These
gentlemen were in Hawaii for sew
eral weeks recently, and left for San
Francisco on board the brig John D..
Spreckels. They have the gold fever
and will leave for Dyea as soon as
they can secure their outfits.
NEARLY all the Japanese who will go
to the Klondike will come from Ha-
wall" said Alex Sheppard, upon his
arrival in San Francisco. "a great
many laborers on the Islands are get
ting ready to go north as soon as their
contract time expires. A big syndicate
in Japan is behind the scheme, and
the laborers will get only about the
same pay as they do on the planta-
lions. Overseers will go with them,
and the coolies will be worked in
gangs, | suppose. Outside of these,
lots of Japanese who have saved a
little money on their own account will
go, and | would not be surprised to
see 1000 or 5000 of the little brown
fellows stretched out along the banks
of the Yukon. The steamer they will
come on will probably be the Saiko
Maru, while others will go on the Ca
madam Pacific Company's boats to Vic
toria, b. c.
zone of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
steamers will bring the men to San
Francisco, but as they will not land on
the soil of the United States there will
be no one to say them nay unless
matter. One of the japanese steamers
that has been carrying laborers will
be used to carry the little brown, men
to their destination. Either they will
go to Victoria, B. c., and thence over
the British trail into the Yukon dis
trict, or else they will go to st. Mich
ael's, and thence up the Yukon river
in steamers"
With seven or eight Thousand Japa-
nese on the river there is bound to be
trouble on the Klondike next winter.
If supplies We're short this year, what
will they be next, when there will be
hundred times the number of people
on the ground there, and probably a
totally inadequate supply of provi-
sions? The starving miners will con-
consider might is right, and will help
themselves to whatever the japanese
may have in the way of stores.
