UNCLE SAM CAN'T LOSE.
With Honolulu and Manila He Coms
mands the Gates to the
Pacific.

If it be westward that the star of en-
pire takes its way, Uncle Sam owns the
upper and perhaps the best, and France
the lower and less useful, gateway into
this new world. AT Hawaii, says Aims
lees Magazine, is the natural midway
between the warm and genial Pacific
const and the hot and luxuriant dis
tricts of the tropics wherein most of
the Pacific islands lie. At Tahiti is
the radial place below the equator, q /.
little less removed from the center of
heat and farther from the origin of
travel than Hawaii. Both abound in
beautiful scenery, in temperature al
luringly equable, in life and habits half
indolcnt, half Industrious; in products
both tropical and scmi-tropical. Both
form an admirable preparation for the
things beyond. The soldier boys who
stopped i'll Honolulu on their way to
Manila Ind their first taste of bananas
and pincapples as they come directly
from the field. They wished that they
might stay in the soft and luscious air
forever; that is to say, those who did
not remain long enough to be down
with the fever or to be sent home in
the hcarse ship For there arc fevers
In Hawaii, as in almost all of the is
lands of the Pacific.
On the other hand, travellers who
have passed the exquisite locks of To
hiti harbor have fingered in the rhap-
sody until little of the English Ian
guage was left to them with which

Icnland.
If civilization is to work backward
from the east TO the west, as the Chi
ncse and the Russians seem inclined
to force it to do, Holland and Britain
divide with the United States in own
ing the gateway. Dutch Sumatra
closes the portals to the passengers
from India; British and Dutch Hornco
and the American Philippines close it
to the passengers from China and Siam.
And in these territories there is even
moro apt and conclusive Introduction
to what lies beyond than there is in
Hawaii or Tahiti. In Sumatra and in
Java are footsteps of the ancient civ
lization which entered the Pacific is
lands centuries before European navi-
gators went in quest of spices and Jew
els. In tho same islands are the crude
savagcs who have never yielded to the
advance of the civilizcr; and in the ex-
IRENE northern point of Sumatra are
the Acllinese, who are still the Ri
rates they have always been. preyiny
upon the shipping and wealth of the
more cult ured nations across the Ma
hcca straits. In Bornco-although
driven far into the interior now-are
the head-hnnting Dyuks, the most
typical of the many head-hunters of
the Pacific. In Sa-awak, on the east
ern coast of Borneo, are the compare
lively independent natives that have
been held in control for more than two
thirds of century by the lone and ex-
traordinary Britisher, the Raiah
Brooke and his nephew. These are
types of numerous rugged fellows who
have immured themselves in marine
wildernesscs, and pTacticed such cum
ming and strength as might belong to
their nomadic and curious natures.
