committee Of the Legislature of
1890 upon the wharf concessions
of the Thurston administration to
the Oahu Railway e. Land Com
papy. While the diction Of the
document is rather diffuse, its
tenor is unmistakable. 1t clearly
lays down the doctrine of exclu-
sively public ownership of all
wharves. Had the Government
that emerged from the Legislative
session of that year acted upon
the commission of the people, in
that report Individually issued,
there would have been no oc
casion for the present controversy
Perhaps it does not matter
after all, with annexation in near
prospect, if the Railway is ad-
judged to have vested rights in
the matter from past blunders.
The United States Government
will have jurisdiction of every.
thing affecting commerce in ali
Hawaiian ports should the isl

Railway has vested rights in anv
navigation security. the United
States will pay for it. So
it is difficult to see any occasion
for heat on either side in the
present controversy. Still. atten-
ton may be drawn to the fact,
which has been brought in uaes
ton by sundry published reports.
that the Legislative committee of
1890 made no specific recommend

for public ownership of wharves,

TRAVEL IS INCREASING
Some Facts From the Annual Report
Of the Pacific Mail.
Increase Has Been in the Very Best Class
Of Tourist Travel 1t Amounts
10 rs Per Cent.

If any further evidence than
overlooking hotels in this city be
needed to show that tourist travel
is on the increase, it can be found
in abundance in the last annual
report Of the passenger business
done by the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, which has been
recently fled with the Inspectors
of Hulls and Boilers of San Fran
cisco to be forwarded to the proper
authorities at Washington. The
report is remarkable, showing as
it does an increase in travel be
tween San Francisco and the
Orient that is little less than phe-
nomensl.
The approximate number of
passengers carried on Pacific Mail
steamers both to and from China
and Japan during the year
1897 was 10000, which is an in
crease of over % per cent on the
previous year and 40 per cent
more than the number handled
for the corresponding trips during
the same seasons of the year 1895.
While the report does not dis
tinguish between cabin and steer
age and white and Monaghan
passengers, yet it is an indisputa
BILE fact that the bulk Of the in
crease has been ia the cabin and
consists of the very best class of
tourist travel.
During the previous years the
vessels of the Pacific Mail touch
ing at the Hawaiian Islands have
always had passenger list much
larger than those vessels bound
straight through to Yokohama.
Last year, however, it was noticed
that the difference was not so
great, the vessels going right
across carrying nearly as many
passengers as those calling at
the islands. 1t was noticed that
many of the passengers who
went direct to Yokohama on the
outward trip took in the Islands
on their return. The reason is
said to be that many of those who
90 to Japan and China are on
business bent and in hurry to
get through with it. On the re-
turn trip these people have more
leisure and do their sight seeing.
This class OF travel is largely in,
creasiug consequent on the larger
development of the commercial
relations of the United States with
the Orient.
1t is stated that the Canadian
Pacific or Empress line of steam
ers has also done a larger passen-
ger business last year, yet it only
amounts to about one-half of the
San Francisco outward and in
ward travel, and the ratio of in
crease in the southern route is
much larger than in the northern.
This is accounted for by shorter
overland connections at San Fran.
cisco with Eastern cities and the
opportunity afforded passengers
by the southern lines to stop over
at Honolulu either way for at least
one day, making pleasurable
break in an otherwise monoto-
nous voyage.
With the possibility of shorter
passages on this route becoming
the rule instead of the exception
and the suddenly awakened inter.
est of European nations in Chi
uese affairs, travel on the Pacific
Mail and Occidental lines is
bound to increase much more
rapidly this year than even in the
last, and this naturally leads up to
the query, "What is Honolulu do
ing to accommodate il ?"
