AMERICAN LABORERS BEST

Daniel \. Ray, secretary of the Inter-
state Commerce Committee of the Unit
ed states Senate, leaves this afternoon
on the :. :. Australia. after having
spent two months here investigating the
labor situation and other matters for
the Hawaiian Congressional Commits
sion. Mr.. Ray has visited all the ISL
andS and seen many owners and mana
gers of sugar plantations. He is of the
opinion that the solution of the labor
problem here is the employment of free
white labor and predicts that Congress
will order territorial form of govern
ment for the Islands, in accordance
with the plan already outlined by the
commission.
There is no doubt" said Mr.. Ray this
afternoon, that among all classes a
general desire exists to bring sugar
production under white labor Some
think it can't be done, but all are will
ing to have it done if it is feasible. a
majority of people here, particularly
those who have had experience in the
matter, say that plantations can get
enough more work out of American la
bOrers than they can out of Asiatics to
more than pay the extra cost of the for
mer. Some of the largest planters on
the Islands are very anxious to give the
white labor plan trial, but just now a
| change cannot be made while there is
! the crop.
THE interest of the United States in
| these Islands is as a place where AM
orleans, who are willing to work, may
| get employment Citizens are wanted
here and not contract laborers. There is
no question in my mind that 100 men, as
men average in the United States can
do more and better work than any 100
| foreigners that can be found.
| II can't say what the Commission
| will do after it gets my reports. !
| think that when Congress disposes of
the territorial question it will recon-
mend a territorial form of government,
as proposed by the Hawaiian Commits
sion. For my part l do not think the
| labor problem will be a hard one, l
know aside from my own observations,
which themselves would be conclusive,
that plantations can make more money
with American laborers than with
| others"
Mr. Rays report will be presented to
| Senator Cullom, chairman of the Ha-
waiian Commission, before Congress
meets again.

.LAHA|NA' 5 WATER SUPPLY

Lahaina will have water works, and
may have more than that. The old cap
ital of Maui is in a fine way to have as
serviCeable an electric plant as any
country town of the Islands.
Men in Lahaina and in Honolulu are
ready to establish the water works. In
fact definite business proposals to that
end are i'm the hands of the Cabinet.
The Government has not the money to
put in the system, for the reason that
the last Legislature failed to approprl-
ate it. The item was in the bill present
ed by the ministry but was struck out.
Engineer Taylor, who was sent to La
haina to investigate the water matter,
has not returned. but he told a man who
came on the Claudine Sunday morn
ing what he thought of the prospects.
Taylor said that the matter of water
for Lahaina was the easiest proposition
he had ever been called upon to look IN
to. From the point of starting on the
mountain side to the edge of the village
| there is a drop of $50 feet, and a steady
decline from there to the sea level, or
sea side.
1t is plain, then, as to the situation.
Everybody knows that the supply of
water in the natural reservoir above
Lahaina is bountiful. The fall will sup
| ply it to every house in the town with
the mere expense of piping. There will
not be the expense of pumping The
| force will be sufficient to control fires
in the village and the supply enough 20
keep yards and flower plots green
| In addition to this Mr.. Taylor. ac-
| cording to the Maui gentleman with
whom he talked, sees a possibility of a
| splendid electric plant from the force of
water. Lahaina citizens have become
| interested in this matter and are ready
| to put up for it,
Mr.. Taylor will return to Honolulu
Sunday morning next. He will first re-
port to the Government. There is now
| hardly a doubt but that a contract will
| be made with one or the other of the
| bidders for the water works enterprise
and there may also be a contract for the
| electric plant.

MASCOT FREDDIE.

Mascot Freddie" arrived i'm town this
morning as a stowaway on the trans
port city of Pueba. This is the third
time he has hidden himself away to fol-
low Uncle Sans troops to the Philip
pines. He has been returned to san
Francisco twice. This time Fred says
he came with his fathers consent. He
was hidden below with plenty of bag
gage containing clothes for his trip and
showed himself before the Puebla got
through the Golden Gate. Captain
Devore and the other officers took an
interest in him. as he is bright and we'll
behaved and they will probably allow
him to stay with the Pueba till she
reaches Manila.

WHITES AGAINST BLACKS
A RACE WAR ON THE TRANSPORT
PUEBLA.
Negroes Accused of Stealing and Cheat
at Crap Games-A Provost Guard
Called Out.

Eighty-seven negro soldiers on the
transport City of Puebla which arrived
from San Francisco this morning, had
a few moments of great excitement and
terror last Thursday in mid-Ocean. A
quarrel arose between the whites and
the blacks and only the timely inter-
venton of a provost guard prevented a
fight that would have ended badly for
the colored troops. AS At was the dusky
soldiers were herded apart from the
other boys in blue and they have been
kept separate ever since. AS result
of the encounter, some of the men will
not be allowed on shore here as punish
ment.
The trouble arose over Shooting
craps" Early in the voyage the colored
soldiers showed their races love of
tossing dice for sevens and elevens and
as the entire force was paid off on the
vessel after she left the wharf at San
Francisco, all had money to gamble
with. The negroes were accused of
cheating and stealing and soon a good
deal of feeling was shown. Last Thurs
day morning matters reached a climax.
Several white soldiers claimed to have
been robbed during the night and ac-
cused several of the colored men of the
robbery. The engroes stood by one an
other and collected together in the bow
of the boat ready for an attack. Be
fore the white men had time to make
an advance Captain Devere learned of
the situation. He sent a provost guard
to the scene and the guard held the
factions at bay. For the rest of the
| trip the negroes kept together in the
bow and there was no more trouble
] This morning the colored men were
| taken on shore alone before any of the
whites left the vessel. They were given
strict warnings to avoid any trouble
and by the time the other troops got
shore leave they had gone to see the
town. The same warning to avoid trou-
! BILE was given to the white men. A
number of the leaders in causing the
| split of Thursday morning were refused
| shore leave as punishment
The eighty seven negroes are for the
| colored regiments at Manila and will
| be in regiments composed only of col
ored troops after they arrive. They
are nearly all from the Southern States.

HAWAIIAN YOUTHS WIN CRENS At PEARL HARBOR
OARSMEN ON THEIR METAL FOR
BIG RACES.
Healants Join the Myrtles at the Lochs,
Special Train for the Boys-Both
Clubs Are Confident of Success.

Both championship crews of the Hea-
lani Boat Club went to Pearl Harbor
by the o'clock train yesterday after
noon and had their first trial spin of the
year over the course. The boats were
taken down by the train leaving at ~
in the forenoon.
The Myrtlc crews have been going %
the harbor each afternoon for nearly
two weeks. They have been takinh the
D O'Clock train, spending the night ut
the Roth place and returning in the
morning to town.
This week new arrangement is in
vogue. Fred G. Smith, passenger agent
Of the Oahu Railway Company has de-
tailed special train to bring the boys
nome each evening after practice. This
Is a great concession and is appreciated.
The first of these specials left the har-
Dor at o'clock last evening for the
city.
All the crews will pun this afternoon.
tomorrow and Thursday afternoons
Friday afternoon they will rest, in or
der to be in the best of shape for the
big contests
The arrangement for the races is
practically the same as last year. w
f.. Wall has surveyed the same course
which terminates near the boat land
ing. Both of the afternoon trains VIII
nave extra cars to accommodate the
Groves from the city. As yet no def
ulle arrangement has been made for "a
steam launch There being no fast war
ships boat here some difficulty may be
experienced in getting just what is
wanted.
Both of the clubs in the race have
warm friends. The Myrtles are conf
dent, despite their double defeat Iast
year. Their crews are lighter, but all
the men are crack oarsmen and have
given the best account of themselves In
the past. The Myrtles have practicsd
harder than ever before, and 1t may
readily be said that they are in far bet
ter trim than last year Ii is said, Iuo
that the Myrtles have discovered the
inside track on Klebahns spurt. If this
be true-things may be different Satur-
day night.
On the other hand the Healanis are
immensely confident of victory. Their
senior crew is the same as last year
and it is as strong a body of men as
ever got into a boat in the Islands
There is single fault. due. perhaps. to
the confidence the men feel: There has
not been so much spirit in the matter
of training. Klebahn's tactics will br
about the same as last year. There viii
be no change in the stroke.
| The races Will start Immediately aft
/ er the arrival of the last train at the
Peninsula Saturday afternoon

The above dispatch. received by to-
days mail, explains itself Captain
Paul Smith, commander of Company a,
N. G. H., is well known to everybody.
He has been commander of the Hawai-
ian Government dTedger for nearly
seven years. Captain Smiths commits
sion gives him the same rank as he
holds here. In the regular army it is
a great honor, and is only, attained by
West Point men after a considerable
period of service. He joins the Forti-
eth Infantry, which is one of the ten
regiments recently organized. The ap-
pointment is made by the President of
the United States. upon the recommen-
dation of the Secretary of War.
Captain Smith has been one of the
most faithful and useful officers of the
N. G.. II. He was one of the first
men in the field in 1893. When Com
pany A was organized he was made
first lieutenant, with Julius Asche as
captain. Soon after he was elected Cap.
tain, and has been reelected six sue
cessive times since without opposition.
Captain Smith and his company per-
formed distinguished services i'm the '95
racket. The captain is considered one
of the best drill masters and best SOL
diers in the Hawaiian Islands. He has
been heartily congratulated at all hands
today.
Captain Smith is the first Hawaiian
military official to receive a commits
sion in the United States army. First
Lieutenant Sam. Widdified,, it will be
remembered, was a private in the First
California regiment at the time of his
appointment
The new American officer will wait
here for orders. AS soon as his COM
mission arrives he will be placed on the
retired list of the Hawaiian volunteers
by order of President Dole. Tonight
officers of the n. G.. H. will extend the
glad hand" to Captain Paul Smith, U

There was an Immediate bustling
among the clerks. Money not immedi-
ately needed was poured into bags and
stored in the big vault For about flf-
teen minutes there was the constant
clink of gold. AS quick as possible the
