MASS MEETING AT
NORTH SCRANTON

Fully one thousand workers in
North Scranton mines We're present
yesterday in Barney's field, on Theo-
dore street, to attend the mass meet
ing, n response to the plaCards which
We're Saturday posted announcing that
such would be held at o'clock yes
tcrday afternoon.
They We're an angry crowd of men,
however, when they waited until 3
o'clock without anyone appearing to
call the gathering to order and pre-
side over the meeting. No one could
he found who knew anything about
the issuing of the notices, and the
majority of those present We're loud
in expressing their belief that they had
been hoaXed, and some went as far
as to say that the entire purpose was
TO draw them from the West Scranton
mass meeting.
Several impromptu speeches We're
given, however, and a large number
Of the men remained about the field
all the afternoon. Among the speakers
were Dennis Cannon, a Providence
miner; Thomas Williams, better
known as Tom "Nanticoke"; Stephen
Mcdonald, president of Throop union,
No 1904, and James Smith, of the
Dunlnorc roa1, a union man, and also
n member Of the Western Fedora
tion of Montana.
The nrst-named two speakers coun-
sclled their audience to be calm and
prudent, and spoke in favor of arbi-
tratiOn, hut Mcdonald and Smith
both boldly urged a strike, and de-
cared that if all the miners would
strike at the same time, all the trouble
would be over inside Of a week, and
the operators would meet the strik-
ers' demands.
HORRORS OF 4 STRIKE.
Williams was the first man to
speak, and quietly represented 10 the
men the horrors attendant on a
strike, and warned them not to rush
into it blindfolded. He was followed
hy Cannon, who, in the course Of his
remarks, said:

pared for the fray. ] am an old miner

When Cannon had concluded his re-
marks, silence fell on the crowd anC
enc man angrily called out, "IIow art

talk asked many questions relative TO

Judge Kepoikai, are men of the high

blood in their veins, their influence
with the Kanakas is unlimited. They
have cast their fortunes with the Re

THE FIRST GRAND JURY,

The charge Of Judge Humphreys &c
the grand jury yesterday was bold,
fearless and timely. II was shock 70
some people OF the community because
OF its bluntness and Straightforward
ness II was worded in such good.
plain English that the wayfaring man
cen though q fool may read II was
a fitting introduction to the American
and old English system of grand ju-
ries. It struck al many. very many,
Of the abuses CT power in Hawaii by The
government and was a broad statement
Of the fact that in these days the GOV
erned. the people rule. The grand jury
stands for the governed. not the gov
eminent.
As Judge Humphreys well said it IS
high duty each and every member
Of the grand jury has to perform.
They serve with grave responsibility.
for on their action depends the rights
Of the people. protection from The
vicious and the self-preservation OF
the fireside and the sancity of the
home. They sit for the community,
for the whole people.
The jury has grave duty to per
form in investigating the Illegal sale
of liquor at Waikiki, and while about
it, it might with benefit to the com
munity investigate the illegal sale o.
liquor by King street restaurant It
is open and notorious and known TO
every man who visits the beach on Sun
day that liquors are sold openly at the
hotels. and yet the High Sheriff and
his police force have never been able
to learn the fact, though they have had
no trouble in finding blind tigers" out
there which sold liquor.
The statements about police protec-
tion afforded the houses of ill-repute
at Iwilei have been open and notorious.
Even graver charges have been made
against the High Sheriff personally
which the grand jury cannot afford 10
ignore. Nor can the jury afford to ig-
more the Judges charges in relation TO
information concerning the pocketing
Of money found in Chinese gambling
houses. by officers who raided them
1t would be wise for the grand jury
to select its own officer TO summon its
witnesses in examining these cases and
not leave that work in the hands of the
High Sheriff, who is himself virtually
under examination by the grand jury
and who would very naturally not want
the jury TO obtain the facts. if they be
true. which affect him personally and
the police department over which ne
presides.
There is much good work. laid out for
the grand jury by the court. and if it
will but follow the courts directions
boldly and fearlessly it will result in
invaluable good TO the city and ter
ritory and effect a much needed refor-
nation in the entire police force from
top to bottom. and if IT does not do
this ii will be recreat to its duty AMI
to its oath.

NEW ORLEANS AND THE CANAL

Mr. Hester of New Orleans. the cot
ton expert cites the exports of cotton
to Japan as an argument for the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal. al
ways assuming that the said canal is
a practicable and practical thing. This
season, says Mr. Hester. We have sent
10 Japan 800, 600 bales of cotton, OF
which number $4,000 went overland
to Pacific ports to cross the Pacific
ocean. $1,000 bales went from Gulf
ports and 1900 bales went from New
York and Savannah by way OF the Suez
canal. Ii the canal were open and tolls
were low il would cheaper transporta-
tion 10 Japan, he thinks. and develop
the export trade. The New York jour
nal OF Commerce observes by way OF
comment: The interest OF New Or
leans in this matter IS much greater
than that of New York. which is nearer
Susz and farther from Nicaragua than
New Orleans and Galveston are. That
the canal would be of great value 20

Effect of Opening the Mills.

The Republican National Committee
sent out blanks TO members of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
asking themto furnish the number o.
men whom they had employed in each
year from 1890 to 1899. inclusive. as
well as the total amount of wages
which they had paid during the same
years.
There were 200 replies They showed
a steady increase in the number of
hands employed in the 200 factories IN
Ill the year 1898. There was an inn
mediate drop of 10000 men in 1894.
when they employed 90. .4SS men. But
in 1897 they employed los. 500: in 1895.
1915 men. and last year 174.645 men.
In short. the number of wage -earners
employed by these same 200 factories
increased from 90.4SS men in 1894 mp
TO 174.6i5 last year-almost doubled.
But the contrast is even more strik-
ing when applied 10 the amount OF
wages paid, and the following table

THE IR0QU0IS BACK
FROM MIDWAY ISLANDS.
Found q Good Place for the Estao-
lishment OF Cable
Station.

The L. S. S Iroquois arrived from
Midway Island on Sunday, after an
absence of over two months, surveying
and hunting for cable landing The
Iroquois from the time she left here un-
til the China spoke her by appointment
on July Sd did not see another vessel
but one, which was hull down on the
horizon.
On arriving at Midway Island tie
search for a suitable landing place
for the Pacific cable was begun. After
a careful survey Captain Pond will rec
ommend that the cable station be plac-
ed on Sand Island. II was found 10 be
practicable to bring the cable from the
deep water through Welles harbor 10
the land
Water was found on the island at a
depth of about six feet. which when Ill
tered made good drinking water. The
water on the other island was not so
good.
Some japanese in the employ of a
Japanese company were found on the
Islands. They were getting birds skins
and feathers for shipment 10 Japan.
The climate of the islands was founl
to be a good deal cooler than that Of
Honolulu and was very healthful and
pleasant. Birds and fish abound III
great numbers and variety. and the
men of the party had much sport
shooting and fishing.
The bones of the vessels Wandering
Minstrel and General Siegel. wrecked
on the islands several years ago. are
still to be seen. and the anchor of the
former vessel was recovered and
brought back home
During the survey total of 1912
soundings were made. Inside the reef
surrounding the islands the soundirgs
were made by the small boat. Outside
the Iroquois did the work.
The reef inclosing the islands is
quite wide in places and the surveyors
were able to work upon it. The en-
trance TO Wells harbor was found 20
have an average width OF one hundred
feet and to be very difficult to navi-
gate on account of the rocks Inside
the harbor is full of dangerous rocks
and coral formation, which have all
been charted.
The Iroquois did not use all the coal
she took. as she used her sails TO good
advantage on the trip down. Coming
back to Honolulu the trip was made in
eight days.

Indignation is EXPIRE 5sed at the inten-

In the burned district King street is
only fifty-six feet wide and the need of
two sixty foot roadways clear through
town is felt by everyone. The brick
buildings standing on King street ON
the north side of Nuuanu are old and
only good for about ten years more of
occupation. Several citizens have
spoken of the matter but at present no
one seams able to order any change.
