CONS fit for duty, the Colorados, bat

Cav, and two of the little guns the
Astor battery had brought over to the
islands and had gone home without, leav-
ing them for the 9th Art. to handle in
actual service. This was quite Il formid-
able force, at least twice as many as

Who they are who viii ultimately be
dominant in his place il is not easy to
forecast. At any moment the United
States may close its Hawaiian doors 10
those races which, of the Eastern world,
are nearest to the islands, and which are
now represented there by a large proper
ton of the populatiOn-sOme $4,000 Jap
anese and $4,000 Chinese-who today, in
fact, taken together, make an element
larger than that represented by tie Ha-
waiians themselves or any other peoples.
Both these races have brought to the
Hawaiian Islands forces and qualities
which, originally, were foreign to the ma
tive people. As the eye ranges the dis
tant hillsides which flank the rear of Hon
olulu, it is arrested by the shining patches
of ordered verdure which, terrace upon
terrace, climb up along their slopes; and
the inquirer is told, in every instance, that
these are the farms and market gardens
Of the Japanese, who have in so many
like places taught the soil to yield its in
crease where it never did before. Such
qualities, in any people, are sources Of
power and wealth; and when it is remern-
bered that behind the japanese have come
the Chinese, whose thrift in the Eastern
world is a proverb like that of the French
or Germans in the Western, it is plain
that their influence upon the future Of
the Hawaiian Islands must be deep and
lasting. Already, in the case of the Chi
nese, has their capacity for agricultural
work revealed itself in the vast sugar
plantations which American and ether
capital has acquired, and is administer
ing with characteristic skill and profit
and already there are tokens of the wealth
which, aided by this foreign labor, these
can extract from n rich soil and from
singularly favorable climatic condition.
SO the problem is set; the mixture of
races, energies, industries and of the
higher moral qualities which these various
strains, ancestries and activities stand for
There are other tEeaters in which the
same drama is being played out under
much broader and, it may be, more COM
pick conditions, but not in which a more
interesting or, indeed, dramatic expert
mCnt is being made. 1t will be for the
Government and the people of the Amer
lean Republic to demonstrate that. they
are equal to a task in itself SO delicate,
and in its consequences SO grave and i'm

MOUNT MCKINLEY.
Measurements Show 1t to Be the Highest
Land in America.
National Geograpbic Magazinel

National Geographic Magazlne-)
Mount Mckinley, with an altitude OF
2O,46i feet, is the highest mountain in
North America, and forms the central
grand mountain pass, situated at the
headwaters Of the Shushitna and Kuskok-
win Rivers, in Alaska. The range is a
portion of the Cordilleran system of North
America, which follows in a general way
the contour of the west coast of the con-
tinent through Alaska and down the
Alaskan peninsula. The mountain group
is extremely rugged and is covered with
snow and ice to within 1000 or $500 feet
of the sea level. Down the sides of the
mountains flow many glaciers; one which
flows off to the northeast is between 20
and 30 miles in length and six and eight
miles in breadth, and extends to the Chul-
tina River, u branch of the ShuShitna,
forming the chief source of water sup
ply of that stream. The Chulitna River
at the base of the mountains has an alti-
tude of only about 800 feet, showing 4
descent of 10000 feet in the 30 miles be
tween the summit of the mountain and
the river.
Mount Mckinley was known to the
Russians settled about the head of Cook
Inlet nearly 100 years ago, and was called
by them Bulshaia-i. e., big. The first
American to see and publish an account
OF II was prOSpectOr named w. A.
Dickey, who gave the mountain its pres
ent name. The writer made the only
measurements of hight ever obtained of
this mountain, in the Summer of 1893,
while exploring the Shushitna River with
Il party from the United States Geological
Survey. For this purpose 4 stadia line
was run up the river, measuring eleya-
tons as well as directions with transit
instrument reading to minutes. From
points on this line six angles for location
and elevation were obtained upon the
mountain, and from these angles its po-
sition and hight were determined. The
weighted mean and adopted hight was
shown to be 20464
