THE OUTLOOK
Shippers Of Sugar Are
Hopeful.
Rumors Of Restriction at Coast Ports
Are Not Supported - COnsign-
ments Made as Usual.

Shippers of sugar who were inter-
viewed yesterday by a reporter for the
Advertiser expressed confidence in the
situation, not partaking of the fears
felt by other persons, not so well ac-
quainted with the branch of trade, that
the existence of few cases of plague
on the island of Oahu would result in
great harm to the sugar industry. The
shippers without exception do not an
ticipate that any sugar cargoes from
Hawaii will be rejected at San Fran
cisco or anywhere else, the precautions
taken here being so strict that any
sensible official on the Coast cannot do
otherwise than admit the cargOes.
p. c. Jones said yesterday that no
possible danger could result from the
shipment of sugar even from this ISL
and, certainly none by shipping the
product of the other islands. Perhaps
l am not so we'll posted as some of the
actual shippers" said Mr.. Jones, "but
it seems ridiculous to think that any
restrictions should be placed upon con-
signments of sugar from Oahu planta-
tons. The plague has not appeared
anywhere outside of this city, and the
sugar on our plantations is therefore
not infected. It is brought to the pOri
on trains carrying guaranteed crews
and can be transferred to vessels at the
railroad wharf without even having
passed through the city or any infected
/ locality. But in any event the sugar
/ from the other islands could not in jus.
/ tice be rejected on the Coast or any
where else"

ENJoINED THE MINISTER.
Tramways Company Seeks to Make
a Showing.

The Hawaiian Tramways Company
obtained a temporary injunction yes
terday against Alexander Young, Min
lister of the Interior, enjoining him or
his servants from interfering with the
work Of the complainant and from
causing and procuring the arrest of the
servants of the Tramways Company
for doing any of the work necessary to
complete and lay proposed switches.
The injunction was issued by Judge
Perry and the Tramways Company
says that upon hearing it may be made
perpetual.
The Tramways Company in its petit
ton alleges that the laws of
Hawaii provided that its tracks we're
to be constructed as nearly as possible
in the middle of the streets, unless 9TH
erwise directed by the Minister of the
Interior, and that the corporation laid
it's track in the middle of King street
in conformity with said condition.
1t is alleged that with the assent of
the Minister of the Interior, the cor
poration laid a double track from the
switch at the Palace gate to a point on
King street opposite the Gulick prop
erty, and then prepared the ground
and commenced laying a switch to con-
meet its new-laid track with the track
now maintained on King street, the
laying of said switch being necessary
for maintaining properly the operation
of a business.
On January II, 1t Is Tecited, the cor
poration was requested by the Minister
of the Interior TO cease it's tracklaying
on King street, and the following day
both the Tramways and Rapid Transit
Companies were requested to desist
from tracklaying on King street, pend
ing litigation. 1t is alleged that the
Tramways Company spent several
thousand dollars in shifting its track
but that the Rapid Transit Company
intruded upon the ground and took
possession with borrowed rails. shut
ting off the Tramways Company from
ground it had a right to occupy.
The effort to protect its alleged
rights having led to the arrest OF the
manager and several workmen of the
Tramways Company, by order of the
Minister of the Interior. the petition
for writ of injunction follows.

WILL SURELY BE A STRIKE.
That II the Belief Among People In
the Wyoming valley on Mine
TrOuble.

W1LKESBARRE, Pa. Sept. THE re-
fusal Of the coal companies at their con-
ference in New York TO confer with the
miners, only makes the belief among the
people OF Wyoming valley the stronger
that there will surely be strike. The
miners will be compelled to go out now
or back down ignominiously.
The demand for coal here Is enormous
Every kind OF carrying vehicle Is being
pressed into service. Those at the head
OF large manufacturing plants are OF the
opinion that IL a strike is ordered 1t will
be a long-drawn-out affair. as both sides
are stubborn.
All kinds Of business is suffering on
account OF the suspense. Some OF the
coal companies think that in the event
OF strike all the men will not go out
and that they will stili be able TO mine
some coal This may be true in some
districts in the anthracite region. but not
In the Wyoming district. The men here
are pretty well organized. despite all re-
ports 10 the contrary. and when the order
to strike is given there will not be
enough men at work to keep the pumps
running.
Some OF the coal companies are making
use OF the columns of the local press to
point out the calamity that will follow a
long strike. II is pointed out that the
United Mine Workers have only ST. 200 in
their treasury TO sustain q strike and
that this sum will not keep the strikers
and their families for a week. The total
amount OF money paid in wages in the
anthracite region month now is
$500. 600
