MAY CABLE TO DREYFUS
CONCESSION TO THE WIFE OF THE
DEVILS ISLAND PRISONER.
Col. Picquart's Deposition Before the
Court Oe Cessation Reported TO
Have Been Sensational.

been authorized to cable to her husband.

fus has been allowed the liberty of walking

he will be permitted to reply by cable to his
wife's message
Despite attempts to maintain secrecy re-
garding the matter, ii has leaked out that
Colonel Picquart's deposition before the
Court Of Cessation was sensational. Colonel
Picquart, it is said, broke down and ap-
pealed to the judges to simplify his terrible
ordeal. 1t is believed that the courts de-
mand for the secret document will lead to a
renewed conflict between the military and
civil authorities. 1t is understood that NJ.
De Freycinet, minister of war, vainly ap-
pealed to General Zurlinden, the military
Governor of Paris, to grant Colonel Pic
quart provisional liberty. Much indignation
is manifested by the Dreyfusites at the de-
cisicn to try Colonel Picquart by court-mar-
tial.

NOW PAYING WAR INSURANCE
On Shipments Of Sugar from Honolulu

Hawaiian sugar planters are
already beginning to feel the effects

ing letters of msrque from the
Spanish Government.
On the cargo Of the ship Henry
B Hyde, which sailed for New
York yesterday, war insurance
WAS paid by the agents Of the
plantations whose sugar was on
board, in addition to the regular
insurance. In ordinary marine
insurance policies the companies
expressly except their liability
in case Of war, but on the payment
of what is known as war premiums
in addition to the regular rates
they viii insure even against the
fortunes or misfortunes of war.
This extra insurance was paid on
the cargo of the Henry b. Hyde
now on her way to New York,
aud il amounted TO from one-hslf
to one and half per cent pre-
MUM. One prominent firm was
fortunate enough TO OBJ
tain insurance as low
as one half of one per cent. by
placing the risks in San Fran
cisco early in the month. Other
firms which delayed placing their
insurance in the hope of the war
scare blowing over have had to
pay as high a. per cent.
A prominent shipper in speak.
ing Of this matter ye-te day said
that war insurance rates were
going no in San Francisco as the
possibility of peace became more
and more remote, though OF course
the premiums 80 far paid are
nothing to what they will be after
hos ilitles actually break out.
After that they will fuctuate as
the fortunes of war predominant
for either country.
Ii Honolulu sugar men had not
chartered large fleet of YES -els
to carry about one third of the
years product to New York direct
they would not now be in the
quandary they are, for there would
be little dsng'r from Spanish
cruisers or prlvs,eers in shipping
from Honolulu to San Francisco.
But as it is, il war should break
out the shipment to New York
may have to be discon'iuu d, Tor
if the war should be prolonged
insurance rates will go to SUCH a
height as to eat up most of the
profits. The gentleman above re-
frrred to was asked what woL Id be
done in the case of actual war.
He replied: "The is but one
thing for Us to do, aud that
is TO stop shipping to New York.
When the big sugar vessels ar
rive we shall have to load them
up and send them to San FIaucis
co instead of to New York, to
which point the sugar will have
to go by rail. OF course this will
be conside rable loss 10 us, but
it will be better than paying
ruinous insurance rates which
will sur ly prevail on American
vessels in the Atlantic"
There is very little chance,
however, for any decrease 10
sugar dividends in Hawaii this
year, as the war would surely re-
suit in a large increase in the
price of sugar, as well as most
other Commodities, which would
more than Offset any loss from
extra insurance premiums paid on
account of it.

THE LOWERING PROPOSITION.

The amendment which Representative
Lowering, of Massachusetts, has proposed
to the Constitution is likely to attract more
attention a few months hence than it has
thus far, for the reason that it relates to
a very important matter. Indeed, few meas
ures could be more important than one
which confers upon Congress the power to
regulate the hours of labor for the whole
country. And yet, if any regulation of the
hours which shall constitute days labor
or any limitation of the age of persons who
shall work full hours in factories is to be
made effective, it must be done by national
legislation. AS it is at present, the State
which shall legislate regarding hours fac
tory inspection and child labor will be sure
to send its industries to States which place
no limits upon hours and the quality of
labor Massachusetts has led in humane
and intelligent legislation in behalf of the
people employed in factories Years ago its
Legislature sent many factories to Maine
and New Hampshire, which did not hamper
the employer of labor Now New England
is in danger of losing its cotton industry
because it's nine or ten-hour days and its
positive prohibitions upon child labor make
it impossible for the manufacturers of that
section to compete with the South where
there is no limit upon hours and age. In
time that industry will go to the South.
The proclaimed purpose of the leaders of
organized labor is to secure an eight-hour
day for all employments Suppose they are
able to obtain such law in Ohio and are
unable to secure it in Indiana. Under such
conditions two factories, fifty miles apart,
in the same business, will come into COM
petition. the one running eight and the
unless wages should be in proportion
to the hours, would result in the bank
.uptcy of the eight-hour factory The one
result would be that competing industries
would locate in the States which have no
labor laws Indeed, the valid argument
against such laws would be that the State
is the better off which has no laws pro-
tecting labor.
The attitude which labor organizations
will assume in regard to the Lowering prop
osition will be watched with much interest.
1t would seem that there can be but one
side for them to take, and that is to be-
come the champions of the measure if
they are in earnest to secure a shorter work
day and the most effective safeguards for
labor If the leaders should demand the
adoption of the Lowering amendment it
would become a very important issue.
