The Government has thought over the
question Of discrimination III the not over
half proposition affecting Japanese A
year ago when the treaty between Hawaii
and Japan was in force such a step could
not be thought of for a moment. Now,
however it is different.
1t is not a fact as might be inferred
from reports in some of the papers, that
there is any serious disagreement between
the Government and planters on the mat
ter Of curtailing the use OF japanese la
Dor. Most of the sugar planters are united
in the opinion that the character of Ha-
waiian labor should and must be changed
as quickly as possible. Said a man who
represents a dozen plantations:
I'VE agree thoroughly with the Govern
ment that there must be change, and
will do all in our power to bring it about
as soon as possible. OF course, a sudden
change of any sort would be damaging in
the extreme. The leeway now before us
is satisfactory and is ali we want. 1t will
give us ample time to prepare
Some time ago a local shipping house
applied to the Hawaiian Government for
the use Of Quarantine Island for Chinese
contract laborers en- route to Samoa. The
matter was referred by the Cabinet to

letter from the Secretary Of State advis-
ing that the American Government had no
objection to the use Of Quarantine Island
for Chinese passengers In transit, put on
account OF the present situation in Sa-
moa the Government could not consent
to the use of the Hawaiian Islands for
the encouragement OF such immigration.

SANTA CRUZ, May 2O.-Through the
generosity of Claus Spreckels Aptos will
soon possess one of the finest and most
commodious district school houses in the

latter heard last May that Mr.. Spreckels
intended to donate to Aptos school

hand the plans drawn by Reid Bros.
The schoolhouse itself will cost $1,000,
and the contract price will foot up close
to $4,000. Included with the donation goes
one acre of land, situated just this side of

TURK LOSES AGAIN.
Unable to Throw Mcleod in Specified
Time.

st, Paul, Feb, danny Mcleod. the
champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler
Of America, won his match last night
with Hall Adah, the gigantic Turkish
wrestler, and gave him 80 sninutes OF
rs hot wrestling as has ever been seen
The conditions were that the Turk
should throw Mcleod twice In an hour
or forfeit $1,000, In the first bout Nc
l.eod assumed the offensive. He was
as quick as a cat and Ms slippery as an
eel, and broke away fron the Turk a
number of times, once breaking hold
which II seemed must tlror him. Then,
amid the cheers OF the crowd Mcleod
got ON the Turks back, but
Adlai was too wcighty for him aud
the champion was soon underneath.
Finally after " minutes and i6 sec
ondS, Adali secured u half Nelson and
forced MclNod's shoulders down by
sheer weight of his immense bulk. In
the second bout Mcleod, by his su~
pertor agility kept the Turk on his
feet for 20 minutes time, although
there was an occasional mix-up. In
he last 10 minutes Mcleod again as
sumed the offensive and kept the Turk
busy all the time, not only In his en-
deavor to throw Mcleod hut In keep
ing himself from the ignomlny OF
fall, The crowd went Wild as the ref
cree called time. 1t Is said that Nc
leod Is the first man who ever sue
ceeded In getting on the Turks back.

NOTHING LESS THAN LuZON."


Washington, Feb. I, 1t appears that
an erroneous impression has gone out
respecting the nature of the presi-
dents instructions to the American
peace commissioners in Paris touching
the limitations OF the claims To be put
forward, as far us the Philippines were
concerned, to the island of LuZon. As
Il matter of fact, so far MS making
that island the maximum claim
of the Americans the
presidents Instructions actually
placed that island as the minimum
claim to be set out, The language was
nothing less than the island OF l.u-
Zon, instead Of more than the island
of Luzon." 1t can be stated also that
the correspondence submitted to the
senate included all the instructions TO
the American commissioners, The
only omissions from the mass, 1t Is
stated, arc letters touching on matters
In no way related to the Spanish ne
gotlatIons.
