AT A STANDSTlLL ON
THE ARBITRATION PLAN

THE HAGUE, June lit is impor-
tant that the present situation regard
ing the board of arbitration question
be clearly understood. The work of the
peace conference has been suspended
on this point and probably will not be
resumed for some days. On semi-offi-
cial authority it is said the situation is
practically this:
The German Government was op-
posed on principle to an organized ar
bitratiOn court and it is found that
these views existed long prior to the
conference and that Instructions to the
effect were given to the German dele
gates. The conviction obtained in Ber-
lin that other powers, notably France,
would instruct their delegates SINH
larly.
AS the conference proceeded the spirit
of conciliation advanced and the desire
to accomplish important permanent re-
suits was manifested. With this grew
up schemes for an organized arbitra-
ton board, notably the British propos-
ais, to which nearly all the members
rallied with the authoritative support
of their respective governments This
q peculiar condition, for which they
were not prepared. The difficulty was
not at The Hague, but at Berlin. In
order to relieve the situation, Count
Won Munster, head of the German dele
cation, after a long conference with his
colleagues at Scheveningen, decided to
dispatch DIR. Zorn and Baron Won Stem
gel to inform the Emperor personally
of the condition of affairs.
In the meantime efferts had been
made to find means of concilation by
the means of a limited board estab-
lished at The Hague, under the ordin-
ary representatives of the powers,
which was proposed by Andrew D.
White, head of the American delega-
ton. This plan Dr. Zorn and Baron
Won Stengel have been commissioned
to plead for to Emperor William. The
question of the moment, therefore, is
what his Majesty will reply. The most
important fact is that the German dele
cation from Berlin were accompanied
American delegation, who was able to
explain fully the American plan
In the meantime the delegates of the
great powers have been merely mark
ing time. The delegates of Russia,
Great Britain and France have held
several meetings, concerning which the
delegates preserve silence, probably
because no definite decision has been
reached.
There is a growing belief, however,

Washington, Jan. 9.-In a report to the state department in regard to to bacco culture in the tropics, Consular Agent Harris, at Espensto1k, shows the immense revenue Holland derives from the culture of tobacco in Sumatra, the net gain for the last year being near ly $5,000000 Germany has failed, however, in it's attempts to grow to- baceo in its colony, though with proper methods, MT. Harris says, good tobacco could be raised in German East and West Africa.
 Hollands success in cultivating to- bacco," says the agent, lis a subject full of suggestions for the American plantation owner. In Cuba and the Philippines, we will now have the iden- tical climate to deal with which Hol- land has in Sumatra and Java, and Germany in hen African provinces and New Guinea. Let us profit by the ex- perience of the former country Hol- land has achieved her great success in tobacco growing through her methods and long experience Americans who propose to engage in tobacco culture in our new possessions will find that study of the methods of Hollands com panies will not be time thrown away.

one uncertain clement in the whole
 proposition is labor. Under the exist | ing laws in Manila, Chinese coolies are
 not admitted except under the same regulations as exist in the United States. MT. Pickney, (the rep esen a. tive referred to), informs me that na- tive labor has been found both in Su- matra and Borneo to be absolutely valueless. The Javanese, a thrif y and docile race, cannot be trained to give the attention and patience to the growth of the leaf that is abs59utely essential. A Chinaman is alfcted a number of trees ito guard and cultivate and he is paid only for the perfect trees at harvest time. If he goes to sleep on duty the cater pillars may render his years work useless in a single night. After the crop is har- vested the thin, delicate leaves have to be handled many times with the greatest care, such as no ether r-ce in the world than the Chinese would give The soil of LuZon is volcanic, and after many trials it has been prov en that the Sumatra leaf will grow in no other soil.
 "In Sumatra the ground will yield one crop every eight years, but my in formant believes that the tobacco lands of northern Luzon, which lie at the base of an extensive watershed, will yield a crop a yesr, with proper maturing. If On investigation this condition of affairs should prove true, 1t means the introduction 0: a1 in dustry into Luzon, that will bring mil liens of revenue and at the same time very materially reduce the p1iCe of the Sumatra leaf
 "Urder the Spanish regime, MT. Pfnckney tells me, it was utterly i'm possible to establish this industry, al though for years it has been believed among the planters of Sumatra that Luzon was the only other part of the world in which they could expect a rival Of course, nothing will be done further than to test the sci's until the Chinese exclusion laws are re- moved from the islands. Broadly speaking there is net an ipdussrv in the islands that will net be ruined if Chinese labor is not permitted.
