PROTECTION FOR THE
COFFEE or HAWAII

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The Inte-
rior Department has received reso-
luton passed by the Hawaiian Legis-
lature praying that Congress impose
duty on all coffee imported from
other countries. and II this way pro-
tect that industry in Hawaii and other
parts OF the United States.
The resolution vii be forwarded to
Congress at the opening Of the next
session. 1t says the coffee industry
tr Hawaii Is now in a depressed con-
dition, and is threatened with aban-
doument on account of low prices and
removal OF protective duties on all
coffee imported into the Republic Of
Hawaii before the annexation. and
the large amounts imported into the
United States from Brazil. Mexico,
Central America and other countries
free of duty. The resolution refers to
the large coffee area, the great
amount OF American capital invested
there and the inability to compete
with the low prices where cheap labor
Is employed. as in the countries men

Bishop Willis was asked IL the Vic
toria Hospital for Incurables wouid

Bishop Willis spoke Of the great
expense of carrying on such an insti-
tuition. The patients required con-
slant attention day and night. and the
destruction OF equipments amounted
to a waste that few realized.
In the course Of conversation the
Bishop incidentally mentioned the fact
