WILL GET The BUSINESS
BRITAIN'S CABLE. ACROSS THE
PACIFIC.
Fear That the British Gable, if in
Operation First, Will Get Long
Start in Competition.

The New York Tribune, long an earn
est advocate of an American transpa-
cific cable, sees in the announcement
that the British cable will be complet-
ed by the end of 1902 cause for serious
alarm. If England succeeds in this
enterprise, as Austen Chamberlain
says she will. the Tribune argues that
her success will kill the American cable
project. There is business enough for
one, but not for two, and the first in the
field for this business will be the gamer
The Tribune may be ultra pessimistic
in all of this, but there is certainly
cause for all America to feel Inundated
because of our dilatoriness.
A plain and simple transpacific cable
proposition was before Congress last
session. The enterprise was shown to
be worthy one, but nothing was done.
We own a chain of islands stretching
across the Pacific that would greatly
facilitate and simplify the problem of
lying the cable, but we took no steps to
make use of them. Our interests in the
far East-commercial, diplomatic, civil,
naval and military-are now greater
than those of any otner power, yet
nothing was done to give us quick COM
munication, via American media, with
the centers of these interests. All that
in spite of the fact that the annual tolls
paid foreign companies on government
caDlegramS between washington ana
Manila would pay the interest charges
on bonds covering the entire cost of an
American cable. 1t was truly a matter
of regret that congress did not act at
such an opportune moment.
Englands announcement is made
more unpleasant by the fact that in
nearly every other line of human en-
deavor we overshodow her and the re-
mainder of the world. Our commercial
! triumphs are too well known to need re-
counting-in this one enterprise only it
seems that England has the best of US.
Seems, we say, for we do not know how
much of bravado there may be in the
announcement. 1t comes from a good
source and seems creditable; the same
attributes characterize Kitchener's fire.
quent "end of the war" announcements,
The war goes on, and the British trans
pacific cable may be equally long in
reaching its completion. For that rea-
son the Tribune's advice is commend
able: IF Americans acted i'm this mat
ter with the energy they have display
ed in some other things they might even
yet beat the British in the race

LABOR SCARCE ON HAWAII
MANAGER WATT. OF HoNOKAA
TALKS
Plantations Would Like More Porto
Ricans If They Could be Procured.
Colonel Lakes Scheme.

John Watt, manager of Honokaa
plantation, arrived i'm the city on the
Ke Au Hou, and is at the Hawaiian
hotel He attended the meeting of su-
gar planters of Hawaii held at Hilo last
Thursday. At that meeting only rou-
tine matters were considered 1t was
expected that some action I'm regard to
Porto Rican laborers would be taken.
but Colonel Lake, one of the men in
charge of this class of immigration, did
not show up so that nothing was done.
From an interview i'm the Hawaii
Herald" says Mr. Watt, 1--WE imagined
that Colonel Lake had called the meet
ing himself and was going to run It,.
But he did not show up, so we had no
chance to consider his labor scheme. l
understand that he proposes bringing in
a number of new Porto Ricans and the
planters of Hawaii certainly wish him
success.
I'VE are short of labor on Hawaii,
though the consequences have not yet
proved serious. Higher wages than
ever before are being paid. Wages are
higher than they were a year ago. In
this respect Hawaii is in much the
same boat as Maui and Oahu.
Porto Ricans are about like the
Portuguese on first arrival. They have
their faults, but are about the best ma
terial in sight. On Hawaii we could use
a number of them.
The Honokaa Sugar Company has
not suffered from the forest fire prevail
ing in the mountains of Hamakua We
have no forest prperty in that neighbor-
hood / understood just before leaving
Honokaa that the fire was still burning.
In our own fire about fifteen acres of
cane were burned over but there was
no considerable loss"
Mr. Watt is accompanied by his wife.
They will return home by the Kinau
next week.
