Emigration to Hawaii.

Hawaii has sent an nprecedentedly
large order for Japanese laborers. The
sugar planters want no less than 9,310,
which means that, including women,
there will be an emigration of some
twelve thousand from Japan. The bulk
of the emigrants (6,915) are to be fur
nished by the Kumamoto Imin Kaisha,
the Kaigai Toxic Kaisha, and the Mo-
rioka Shokai, the remainder being sent
by the Tokyo Imin Kaisha and the
Nippon Imin Kaisha. 1t is supposed
that this large demand for labor has
been stimulated by an access of Ameri-
can capital to Hawaii in the sequel of
annexation.-Japan Weekly Mail, Sep
