HAwAII'S TRIBUTE.
Letter of the Speaker of Their House
to Mrs. Mckinley.

The Secretary of the Interior this after
noon received the following letter with the
request that 1t be forwarded to Mrs Will
lam Mckinley:
HONOLULU, September 80, 1901.
Mrs. William, Mckinley
Canton, Ohio.
"Dear Madam:
LAS speaker of the house of representa-
tives of the first legislature of the territory
of Hawaii, and on behalf of the members
of that body, / wish to extend to you the
sincere Aloha of the entire Hawaiian peo-
pie in your tribulation, and to add our mite
to the wealth of worthy tributes to our
beloved President.
"A naturally and sympathetic race, the
Hawaiians had first come to respect and
admire and later to love the great and good
man who had, through the organic act
creating the territory of Hawaii, and
through his appointments to the bench
given back to the liberty-loving Hawaians
the right which they formerly enjoyed; and
more since, as Americans, we have more
rights than as Hawaiians we ever had even
under the best of the governments of our
chosen soyereigns.
with all the world Hawaii mourns with
you, kamehameha,' the lonely one, With
all American states and territories Hawaii
mourns the loss of the noblest and best
American of his age. But, perhaps more
deeply than any other part of the world
over which the flag waves, Hawaii and es-
pecially the Hawaiian race, mourns for him
who made US a part of the grand Union
and restored us to our rights to life liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness
His high craftsmanship will ever be a
model for our best political thinkers The
memory of his kindness will help the more
rapidly TO heal the wound which Hawaii
has suffered And his noble Christian life
Will for time never ending be a constant
inspiration to the race which from the first
received the gospel of Christ gladly.
have the honor to remain, most sincerely
yours, JOSEPH a. AKINA

The science of Sleep.

From the London ChfonIcIe.
1t Is a curious fact. but one by no means
astonishing that until of late days salts
factory explanation of sleep and Its causa-
ton was hardly to be met with within
the bounds of physiological science. Amaze
mia of the brain was regarded as the
origin of our slumbers, but it became clear
that this bloodlessness was to be regarded
rather as result of some other and more
primary process than as itself a true or
direct cause of sleep. The theory has been
revived that sleep is due to the liberation
into the blood of certain substances which
are manufactured by certain glands-these
are not defined, by the way-with the re-
suit that our brain cells are sent DOING
Alongside this view may be placed that
other which supposed that a greater amount
of carbonic acid gas being produced as this
result of bodily work-or a want of elimi

rhe American Mechanic.

Mir. Charles I. Harrah, president of the Midvale Pa-) Steel works, says:
 '"The reason why we can manufac- ture more cheaply here than in Europe is not due to superiority of our tools nor to our brain power or anything of that sort. 1t is only to one reason, and that is the greater energy of the American over the European. 1t is that energy which enables them to do what they cannot do abroad. If you will visit the steel plants on the eonti- nent and in England, you will at once see the difference between the methods in force there and in this country. 1t Is simply a question of greater energy fin the United States than in England I@do not think that they have ever had to work as hard as we have. They take life easy over there. The office hours are shorter, and the men are all lowed more time to do things. When you see a man trundling a wheelbar- row, he takes his time. Here we load the article on truck and have an en- zine pull it and pull it quick, and if the engineer does not cover the ground he would have to explain why. There the men are allowed their time. They have altogether a much easier life. l do not know that they are any happier than we are, but in securing results we are bound to prove superior to them. m."-Pittsburg Post.

Kniehts andKniehts.

Something very picturesque in the way of royal decorations is the new or der of the Knights of Labor instituted by the king of Italy. We have Knights of Labor in this country, but the Ital- ian knights are to be different affair, a royal order of real knights, composed of citizens, including workmen, who are distinguished for the study of la bor questions or for the amelioration of the conditions of the working classes. The condition of the laboring classes in Italy is certainly in great need of anne lioration, and if royal ribbon and medal can help it the new king is enti- tied to congratulation for hitting upon this method. It is to be doubted wheth- CT the workingmen themselves will welcome the order with anything like enthusiasm. They are much more in need of a little flesh food than they are of decora tions, and the American vari- ety of Knight of Labor is likely to con tinue to attract their fancy rather more than the new Italian royal sort.-New York Mail and Express. ...

Strikes In Japan.

Not long ago the rice coolies at Tokyo struck for higher wages. The strike lasted just half day. Without consti- tuition or bylaws, governed only by the usages of the trade, the organization is as compact as that of any legally incor- porated body. The rice coolies know nothing of government of the law and care nothing for the police, whom in- deed they could easily shoulder like a bag of rice. If it had been possible to get men to replace them. they would not have permitted it. None would have dealt more summarily with 8 'scab" than they. But it was not possi- ble, and the contractors. who were forced to have the rice stored to meet their obligations, yielded. As yet the "scab" has but little place in the indus trial world of Japan.-Century.

Unions Versus Militia.

It is reported that the union labor organizations of Richmond, Va, will order all their members to resign from the volunteer militia companies or quit the unions.
 The story was not generally credited until the members of the Brewers un- ion who belong to the local companies of the Seventieth regiment formally asked for their discharge from the military service. They assigned no reason for their wish to retire other than that the labor organization to which they belonged had decided that they must either leave the union or the military.
 To leave the union, they said, would mean the giving up of their jobs. Mill tary officers are trying to keep the matter quiet for the present, but they fear all unions will take similar action.

Got the Eight Hour Day.

Without much trouble several organi- cations of workingmen in Pittsburg gained the eight hour day and an ad- vance in wages on May 1. The union of timers and roofers asked for and got an advance in wages from 2S cents an hour to 331a cents an hour and will work only eight hours day. The local union of the Brotherhood of Boiler Makers and Shipbuilders gained the eight hour day and an advance in wages equivalent to an increase of 50 cents a day. The Pittsburg construc- ton force of the Otis Elevator compa- ny struck on the morning of May for the eight hour day, and before noon the manager conceded their demands.
