The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-04-08

Alfred Stead of London, author of
South Africa" and China and Her
Mysteries and the son of William T.
Stead, editor of Review of Reviews, is
a guest at the Hawaiian hotel, having
arrived on the Gaelic Saturday. He is
accompanied by his charming American
bride, formerly Miss Mary Elaine Hus-
sey of Indianapolis, known throughout
Europe as the beautiful American"
Mr.. Stead's bride is certainly worthy
of the appellation and will grace En-
glish> drawing rooms on her entree into
English society with the same success
which has attended nearly all Ameri-
can girls who have taken English hus-
bands.
Mr.. Stead is very modest young
man, but the American newspaper in
reviewers have been able. to cause him
TO talk freely of his literary work That
his mission to the Far East is impor-
tant is evidenced by the deluge of re-
porters which has greeted him ever
since he landed upon American soil. At
every stopping place the young man
has been interviewed upon the objects
and purposes of his long trip. His rea-
sons for remaining over in Honolulu
are two-fold. He wishes to see Hawaii,
of which he has read so much, and also
to study labor conditions here. He viii
inspect a number of sugar plantations
on this Island and may possibly take
a trip to Hawaii and visit the volcano.
The results of his Investigations in ia
pan and of the Japanese laborer in Ha-
wall VIII be embodied in book on
which he is at present working. en-
titled The Present Condition of ia
pan"
To an Advertiser reporter Mr., Stead
said:
Il am going to Japan to study the
Icountry commercially and diplomatical-
lily. l was there some three years ago
and therefore will be able to pursue my
Investigations more rapidly than if
We're going there for the first time.
Japan is going to make big stand
and declare itself one of the first class
powers. 1 had it from japanese Of
fetal that this was going to happen,
Furthermore, it was also stated to me
that Japan also intended to declare her
self commercially right away, and I
therefore became interested in the sub

will be embodied in that volume.
Undoubtedly Japan within a year
land a half is going to make a big bid
for all the Eastern trade there is. They
NOW have their manufactures ready to
run and they know exactly what to sup
iply the Eastern markets. With the
rapid development of commercial and
manufacturing enterprises which has
been going on in japan lately it is quite
likely that the other Eastern countries
will be forced out of the commercial po-
sition they now occupy. Japan has
every advantage on her side She is
nearer the markets by 5000 to 5000
miles than the other powers, and that
in itself is the one great factor which
Japan is eagerly taking advantage of
As to materials for her manufactures

she has them in abundance. Labor is
cheap there; they have coal which is
which makes it a combina ton
for other nations to combat. Japan has
very fine fleets of merchant vessels and
they derive advantage from it, all the
profits accruing to Japan and its people
The little brown men are going to make
an effort to take away for themselves
all the export trade to England and
America. For that object the nation
has been at work for years and the
time is now ripe for them to put their
plan into execution.
What effect would this have on Eng
land? Well, it would take away all her
Eastern trade The only way England
can hope to keep her trade there is to
wake up, but l am afraid the nation
will be slow to see it this way. At
present people do not realize what a
power Japan is. People never take ia
pan seriously; they generally look up
on it as a nation from whence come
curios. To my mind the matter is a
very serious one.
THE Japanese are Orientals them
selves and they know what goods are
wanted in the Eastern markets. 1t is
absurd to think that England and
America can supply the wants of those
people better than the Japanese. Ac-
Icording to our standards our goods
may be better, but the matter must be
considered entirely from an Eastern
standpoint. There is the difference.
To my mind Japan is now in posi-
ton to absolutely control the Oriental
commerce. and she can draw it away
from England and America.

to whoever is responsible for the daily
contents of that paper. Such a proceed
ure ought to prove who has told the
truth in this matter.
I cannot forbear saying that Mr.. Gum
knows 1 did not write the editorial; and
that he knows those editorials are not
for sale; and that they were written
about him before L ever saw Hawaii.
Further, allow me to point out the
fact that I should be a great Ounce,
from a business standpoint, to write an
editorial which would be so likely to
prejudice the Superintendent of Public
Instruction and the Commissioners
against my case, if they thought 1 had
anything to do with it.

HAVRE AS RAILROAD CENTER
Arrival of Party Of 500 Line Sur
veyors Causes Considerable
Excitement.
Especial to Inter Mountain.)


Havre, Aug. 30.-A ripple of excite
ment prevailed a few days ago which
caused small groups of men to gather
and discuss the situation and forecast
all sorts of future greatness for Havre.
This was all on account of a party of
surveyors of the 500 line arriving here
and renting teams for 80 days to ex-
plore and examine the feasibility of a
railroad route through the Bear Paw
mountain region.
If such road We're built the ultimate
outcome would make Havre the junction
point With the Great Northern and the
great railroad center of Northern Mon
tana. M

Minot, N. D., taking in the country,
principally along the Canadian bound
ary line to Groves Nest, thence to

Mice,

Every well-regulated printing office
has a watering can in which water is
kept TO wet the type. For want of
6 better place, the one in the Home
journal Office isl usually kept on a
window sill on the north side of the
room. One day during the recent
drought two of our printers were
sitting on their stools at this window
sticking type, when they were nearly
petrifed by the sight of snake pro-
truding its head above the sill from
the outside. The boys almost broke
their necks in getting away. Reach
ing over into the pan, the snake took
a good drink, and, before the startled
printers could secure a club with
which to dispatch the reptile, it had
disappeared, says the Lacon (lll)
Home Journal.
The next day at the same hour thr
snake came for another drink and
this was repeated the third and
fourth days, but the last time II was
