SUGAR IN AUSTRALIA.

Sugar production in Queensland and
New South Wales according to the
year book of Australia, is hampered by
numerous difficulties The labor ques"
ton is the most important in the for
mer colony, and fiscal regulations are
the chief cause of complaint among
planters in the latter. In the semi
tropical portions of Queensland white
labor, so far as plantation work Is con-
cerncd, has generally been found less
effective aud reliable than colored lab
or, but the employment of Kanakas,
Chinese, japanese and other colored
aliens is regarded chiefly in the south
ern portion of the colony, with such
disfavor by the white laboring classes,
that restrictions of a somewhat bur
densome character are rigidly enforced.
In New South Wales the duty on inn
ported sugar viii not be abolished as
originally intended, but remains at e3
per ton which, it is anticipated, viii
enabel the colonial grown article to
hold it's own against the bounty-fed
produce of other countries. The exist
ing duties per ton ON raw sugar are as
follows: New South Wales, e3;
Queensland, e5; South Australia. e3;
Tasmania, &c; Victoria, e5 los to

WATER FOR FIRE PURPOSES
ANDREW BROWN REPORTS AM
AMPLE SUPPLY.
Pumping Stations Can Furnish Enough
for all Purposes-Only Shortage is i'm
the Valley.

The statement of another paper that
there was a shortage of water at the
Pauahi street fire was wrong. The fault
was not in the water but in the i'm
perfect jointing of two lines of hose
we have plenty of water" afirus
Superintendent Andrew Brown. The
fire department is drawing from the
artesian supply The pumps have no
dttficulty in providing all the water
needed for every purpose. In case of a
break down of a pump ! have another
to put right in and there will be no
trouble nor inconvenience After the
fires of a day the artesian reservoirs
are filled to the top and the people
drawing from those mains do not real
ize, from the flow, that there has been
any fire at all.
There is still a shortage of water in
Nuuanu valley and people dependent
upon that supply are, of course. in
convenienced. With the boys playing
baseball in the reservoirs up there this
must be so. / never knew a dry spell to
keep up so long. OF course if we HAD
to depend on the valley, as a few years
ago, one fire would run us entirely out
of water"
Yesterday in the Kekaulike street fire
two lines of hose were dropped into the
bay near the old fishmarket. This was
an experiment, and it did not work SO
well as a great deal of mud was drawn
into the hose and engine pipes Where
the water is deep or there is no mud
the bay can be used without trouble
1t was nearly night when the de-
partment left the scene of the last fire
A smouldering heap of unusual depth
was left and the whole district had to
be completely flooded with water n f&
said that floor mattings and a great
deal of stuff under houses were not
consumed at all There will have to be,
