AILMENTS OF
THE pONTIFF
A Disputed Report of Another
Operation for
TumOr.

ROME, Dec. 6.-The Messageror says
DR.. Mazzoni performed a slight opera
ton yesterday on a tumor underneath
the Pontiff's arm.
The Messageror asserts that the
health of the Pope has not been alto
gether satisfactory for some time past,
and he has occasionally suffered in the
part where he was operated upon in
1898, which caused his physicians to
perform slight operation yesterday.
1t removed the pain.
The Pope has been merely recon-
mended to rest for a few days, accord
ing to the paper mentioned
On the other hand, a semi-official
statement says the Popes health is
perfect, and that he continues his nu-
merous receptions without fatigue.
The only incident, according to the
semi-official statement, was that the
Pope, a month ago, while examining
a heavy object dropped it on his left
toe. He said nothing until this week,
when he told his physicians he felt a
pain in walking, and Doctors Lapponi
and Maz2on dressed the bruise. The
Pope today is quite well and it is in
correct to say that the operation of
1898 is giving him any trouble, as only
a healthy scar remains.

SUGAR PROSPECTS.

The agreement reached by France,
Germany and Austria to abandon the
export duty on sugar confers an OBJ
yious benefit upon cane-produclnS
countries. Under the bounty law the
raising of sugar beets, an industry
which the first Napoleon began-or
revived-in France when the British
blockade cut off supplies of cane sugar
from abroad, has risen to great pro
portions in middle Europe. In 1894,
when Mulhall gave his last estimates
to the public, the beet sugar produc-
ton of France had reached $4,000
metric tons; of Germany, 1,35O,OOO; OF
Austria Hungary, $40, 600. Much OF
this sugar went to swell the imports
of the United States which, in 1896,
amounted to 604, 6S6,9S5 pounds of beet
product valued at Sli,0iS,9l4, aeXclu-
sive, of course. of the cane sugar i'm
portations valued at S69, 81, 2S6. With
an export bounty to inspire them and
the enormous American market show
ing deficit in local production Tin
Guiding HawaiD of nearly 100000
pounds of sugar annually the Euro
pean farmers were steadily increasing
their output. We are now about to
witness a turn OF the tide. With the
export bounty off, European produc-
ton will be steadily curtailed and
there will be better market, or one
less in danger of competition, for
American growers 1t is figured at
New York that Cuba and Porto Rico
will be greatly benefited, though Cuba
has no present right or certain pros
pect of entering its sugar free of duty,
The New York classification ought to
include Hawaii, which has as much
reason as Porto Rico to rejoice.

SUBSIDY BILL
AND CANAL ACT
They May Clash in the Senate
With Unfortunate
Results.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.--The Senate
steering committee today decided to
give the Hanna Frye ship-subsidy bill
the right of way tomorrow and unless
Senator Morgan, father of the Near
aqua canal bill, withdraws completely,
a sharp skirmish Is inevitable. Sena-
tor Frye at o'clock will move to sub
stitute the subsidy bill for the Near
aqua bill as the special order of bust
ness for December 10th. According to
information tonight, Morgan will be
on hand to oppose such motion to
the bitter end. Morgan remarked the
other day that he was getting old and
could not afford to postpone the Near
aqua bill any longer.
Senator Hanna is credited with being
the motive power behind the subsidy
bill and especially as the author Of the
plan to substitute it for the Nicaragua
canal bill, which he does not especially
favor. Morgan will be aided in his
fight by a number of Republicans who
do not want the subsidy bill. at least
in it's present shape. Among these
senators is Perkins. who declares he
will offer an amendment to the sub
sdy bill when it comes up.
Morgan's fight is seriously compli-
Gated by the fact that the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty is intensely unpopular, but
apparently must be disposed of before
canal legislation can be considered.
Pettigrew and Allen are waiting to
fight the subsidy bill and may use the
Nicaragua bill as a club to whack
their friends Frye and Hanna.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

The misgivings of the public over
the Porto Rico labor experiment are
increased by the news that the coming
field hands are OF n wietched ana De
generate sort, from whom little work
and much vice may be expected. FROM
the first the Advertiser mas opposed
going to Porto Rico for plantation
labor on these very grounds. Mongrel
in blood. combining the wickedne $
and lazness of the low-cllss span
iards and negroes whence they spran ,
filthy and ungovernable. the Porto
Ricans will do no work that they can
avoid and are liable to resent pressure
with their knives. 1t ought to nave
needed but one look at the PROSTATE
agriculture of Porto Rico Itself and
at the percentage of disease and GRIM"
among the inhabitants to warn the
Hawaiian planters against having
aught to do with such a people.
Fortunately, the first consignment
from Porto Rico is not large, and 1t
NAV be the last We surmise that inn
portations will stop in their case as
quickly as they did with the GalicIans.
But what then? If Porto Ricans and
their congeners are ruled out, the
planters must decide between white
men and black. The latter may not
be prucurable, for the Southern plant
ers want to keep their own field hands,
thus eventually forcing the planters TO
make the serious effort, which has 50
long been withheld except in the case
of the German and Galician importa-
tions, to get labor from the northern
white. races.
That labor would be the salvation of
Hawaii, agriculturally, commercially
and socially. One cannot, in view or
the German experiment, and the sue
cess of the Wahiawa colony, respect the
argument that white men are disquali-
fled for field work in Hawaii. Expert
ment shows that the difference be-
tween the quality Of endurance needed
for such labor here and In the inter-
ior valleys of California and in the
midsummer hayfields of New York and
Pennsylvania Is in favor of Hawaii.
White men can stand the toll of trade
wind islands; the question which |
bothers the planters is their terms?
Planters are willing to pay good wages :
but might not responsible white men
chance to go into cane
and cutting on the co-opera-
tive plan?
Suppose they did? Is it not good bus
mess policy to accept smaller dividends
for the sake of larger crops, quicker
service, immunity from strikes, and a
sober decent and industrious whiteciti-
zenship? Would not that sort of thing
pay better than continuous uncertainty
and trouble with the lowest types OF
human kind? At any rate we are sure
the Islands as whole would be bet
for off for the innovation and that
they will be very much worse of Il
they are compelled to take the lazza-
roni of all the Latin races and add
them to the perplexities of the race
problem as it stands.
