Arizona republican., 1898-09-13

l is a beautiful city, laid out, or rather | splattered out, somewhat after the pat 1 tern of the lower or business portion of Boston-streets laid out h la COW trails. The residences are not unlike in style the best we have in Southern Arizona But in surroundings these residences sur | pass anything I have ever seen. The yards are large, and every foot laid out With view to beauty. Shrubbery, palm, cocoanut, banana, orange, date in fact some of them contain specimens of ev- erything of which the climate and soil are capable and constant care and culti- vation are given them. The people are justly proud of these places, and well they might be. The surroundings of the Hawaiian hotel last night while the band discoursed slow and impressive melody, caused me to rub my eyes for conviction that wakefulnesS was with me. It was
 more like dream than I imagined real lty could approach, and my pen is inca pablo of conveying a true idea of it.
 Tomorrow, on invitation of the Jay Gould of the islands, MT. Dillingham;, shall take seat in his private car and make an inspection of the railroad sys- tenn up to date.
 Yesterday ex-Queen Lil boarded a small steamer to visit some property in- terests she still retains at Hawaii. The wharf was one living mass of native hu- W to kiss her hands, and long after the lit tie craft was out too far for her to hear them the air was still being rent and torn with "Alohas'' and the choruses of na- tive airs. All Of which may be taken as strong indication that she still reigns supreme in the hearts of the people, so strongly, in fact, that the sight of our rroud flag and the sounds of the Star Spangled Banner" cannot uproot that affection.
 In the short time I have been here have learned sufficient to warrant me in advising any person contemplating com ing here for business not to come. The reasons for this are many but I shall not try to give them in this letter. Later on, when I shall have been here long enough to gather all the necessary data as to business, present and proSpe ctive, I shall try to outline briefly but convinc- ingly the reasons for this advice, the same already being fully apparent to me- but in a mixed condition.
 The commission left here yesterday to be gone eight days on the island of Ha- waii. I shall interview the members upon their return. J. M. BURNETT.
 Honolulu, H. l., Aug. 26.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican j. Just few lines. Had enc of the most delightful trips of my life coming here; eleven days from Frisco peI sailing vessel. I enjoyed every min ute of it (barring the first three days when I wished for death). and was sorry when we entered the harbor would have liked another week of it This is no place for man without money. Living is high. Everything is OverdOne in a business sense. The Japs and Chinese have invaded all the business channels and it is out of the question for the whites to come ir here and compete against them. Two classes of emigrants are welcome the one who comes as a visitor to see spend and depart; the other, the in vestor. There are very few of the lat ter. There is no room for others ant they soon learn it.
 The newspaper field is a queer one There is one morning paper and three evening; all alike. They live not b, the wire, and exchange food is scarce; therefore they subsist on tnemselve: and whatever Of metal is left over af ter the melting. Steamer days bring to them that which overloads thei stomachs for couple of issues, aftel which they spend weeks in simpl, deglutition q guess that's right. All drinks are 25 cents each. Nom but millionaires can enjoy drunks. have seen but one man under the in fiuence since I have oeen nere, and saw him full at the Baldwin in Frisco before he started, so that his is sim ply a continuation of the old toot This is a splendid place for ''spasms.
 I have had no news since the 12tl and so feel anxious for American knowledge.
 I have not yet seen the Hula. bu have been promised a seance in tn oldest and most unlimited style o that class of art. It is forbidden OI the islands, but a little freemasonry
 understand can unearth it. Will giv you full description of it when have investigated.
 Early is enamored of Honolulu ant will, I think, remain for some time Johnston is not improved in healtl and will go back by steamer, leaving here September 3. Hickey is off on weeks trip through the island of Ha waii As for me, well, unless some thing very vivid touches me soon,
 shall return on the vessel tha brought me, due to sail in about fou weeks, or sooner, if she can get he load. J. M. BC--NEIT.
