JAPAN AND AMERICA.

1T may take all the proverbial and
historical friendship between Japan and
our own country to avert serious differ
ences between the countries over the
alleged discrimination in the matter of
the examination of emigrants of that
nation arriving at our ports. The acute
sensitiveness with which the Japanese
view any reflection upon their accom-
plishments, their advancement or their
racial status, makes it very hard for
any nation to take a stand, placing
these people apart from others. The
Japanese are loyal to fault, and If at
this time they are inclined to view
what they call discrimination as an
unfriendly act, they will go to any
length to avenge their wounded feel
ings.
Whatever may be said about the Jap
anese coolies, their scientific men have
made for themselves a place among the
thinkers and Investigators of the world
which may not be spoken of other than
with respect. Of all the professions IL
which they have entered with spirit, not
one bears so indelibly the mark of their
genius as that of medicine. There is
not a single speciality to which they
| have not contributed expert knowledge
and their meteorological researches are
! standards for the world. The United
| States quarantine service men in the
| Orient speak in the highest terms CT
| the remarkable work done in the
stamping out of the plague, when it got
a foothold on their island; and there
seems good reason to believe that the
world will yet owe to the scientists OF
that nation much for their researches
concerning the yellow pest.
While the feeling of irritation is re-
ported to exist in Japan over the course
of the examining surgeons here, it is
well that there has been at Toxic no
charge that there was, on the part Of
the examiner in the America Maru af-
fair. any indiscretion, but a recognition
| that the utmost possible delicacy
marked she entire affair. It must be
recognized that there Is, on the part
of the Japanese, a growing sense OF
their own Importance in the world
! politics, and that this is no longer &
people which will meekly submit to any
| sort of discrimination. Where there is
now the most lively feeling of gratitude
for the part taken by the United States
in the opening Of the Empire to the
world, there may easily be aroused as

London's Tunnel Schemes.

NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Comn1enting
upon the subject OF legislation and
proposed electrical railroad improve
ments, the London correspondent of
the Tribune says: AS the time draws
near Judgment of Parliament notices of
schemes to be submitted during the
coming session, the details are forth
coming of various projects of electrical
communication within the English me-
tropolis. 1t is said that the London
County Council expects to approve of
the adoption of q shallow tunnel sys-
tenn, as in New York, but the difficult
ty of constructing any railway imme-
diately under the surface of the CEN
trail thoroughfare is very great, with
such maze of mains, sewers and con-
Quits belonging to water, gas, hydraulic
and electric companies, and the gen
eral postoffice. The total authorized
or proposed capital and borrowing
powers of existing and projected con-
Germs is nearly $25O,0O0, 600.

RAPID TRANSIT A SUCCESS.

The business done by the Rapid Tran
sit Company would seem to warrant all
the extensions which have so far been
proposed and which would give quick
service to the more attractive suburbs.
1t is now shown that there is a large
class OF people that incllnes to ride in
swift and well-kept cars merely for the
airing; and that this class added to
the people who naturally use the cars
to go to and from their homes assures
the Rapid Transit Company of a steady
and profitable business.
One other thing which tells in the in
terest of the trolley cars or of any cars,
is the climate. In the tropics there is
a constitutional aversion to walking,
so much so that Honolulu supports
more hacks than any other town of its
size in the world, and even makes its
wretched tramcar system enormously
profitable to the stockholders. When.
in such a place, rapid transit is or
ganized on nickel basis, as it has
been here, it is bound to win. It sim
ply can't help doing business.
If the Rapid Transit lines are ex-
tended to Waikiki and beyond, out Mo-
analla way and to the Pail we believe
the results will be all that the present
experiment suggests.

Roosevelt,s Future.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-There is a
story here tonight that president
Roosevelt said on Sunday to a. delega-
ton from South Carolina that he would
make no fight for the nomination in
1904, but, if the people approve of his
course as President and he is nomi-
mated and he is elected he will be ex-
tremely grateful and will not decline.
The South Carolinans who called on the
President were John G. Capers, United
States District Attorney and National
Republican Committeeman for South
Carolina. J. F. Ensor, Postmaster at
Columbia. The conversation leading to
this expression by Mr.. Roosevelt bore
upon the strong Endorsement of Mr..
Blalock for the office of Collector of
Internal Revenue, whom it was asserted
President Mckinley had decided TO ap-
point. s.

SALOON FOR pUNAHoU.

The Punahou property owners have
an unmistakable right to protest
against the location of a saloon in
their neighborhood. They are the tax
payers; they possess a college and it is
desirable to keep saloons and colleges
far apart; and} theirs is quiet resi-
dence place which they desire to main
tain as such. A saloon would attract
and create a rowdy element, depreciate
values in its vicinity and answer no
good purpose whatsoever.
A. paper which advocates. saloons on
the principle of the more the merrier,
talks about the right Of the majority
to have it's way. 1t is yet to be shown
that: a majority, counting in japanese
and the absolute class of natives, have
asked for a saloon in Pdnahou but If
they have that does not devolve the
duty upon the authorities to grant it.
Public order and decency are to be con-
sidered. Knowing that a Punahou sa-
loon would attract from the suburbs all
sorts of disorderly people the question
with the authorities should be whether
the results would not be harmful to in
terests which a well-regulated govern
ment always tries to conserve and
which are of infinitely more conse-
quence than the thirst of the transient
hummer. The sacred interests of the
hummer have had deal of care lately.
Is it not time to give the citizen a
chance who wants peace and quiet in
his neighborhood and freedom from the
man-traps which may demoraliZe his
children and his servants?

Afghan Border Quiet.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Simla
correspondent of the Times says a re-
port from the British political officer
at the Khyber Pass shows that every
thing is perfectly quiet on the frontier,
and traders are passing through. The
scene at the funeral OF the late Ameer
at Kabul is described as a dramatic
one. The chief kadi addressing the
people at durbar. declared that Abb
dur Rahman could not be buried until
the new Ameer had assumed power.
Then he wound the turban round Ha-
bib Ullah's head, and saluted him as
Ameer. Habib Ullah addressed the
multitude, proclaiming his intentions
Of maintaining his fathers kingdom
unlessened and unincreased, and of
continuing their alliance and friendly
relations with the British government.

Rusaia,s Trade in China y.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The CORES
pondent of the Times at Odessa says
recent returns in regard to the Russian
trade with China bear testimony to the
severity of the blow dealt to Russia
by the outbreak in China. In the first
four months of this year the trade by
the kiakhta route amounted to $4,000
roubles ($437,75O, as compared with
the trade in the corresponding months
of last year of 6,S00,0O0 roubles. In the
light of these figures, remarks the cor
respondent. the attitude of the Russian
journals toward the restoration OF
Manchuria to the Chinese is intelligi-

intense feeling of hatred for real or
fancied insults.
What would be the effect upon IIa-
waiian interests in the even, of
policy of reprisals by the japanese, is
a question which may not be answered,
but that it would be great is certain.
At this time there is no place in the
world so well known in Japan, speak
ing OF the country districts, as is Ha-
wall. The thousands of returning Jap
anese have spread the fame of these ISL
ands, until even the names Of the plan
tations, of the managers whose dealings
with the laborers have produced the
best impressions upon them, and of
the work which is offered, are as well
known there as here.
Reports which are coming by each
ship indicate that the class of emigrants
which is now coming here, or prepar-
| ing to come, is of the best. The peo-
pie are those who have money enough
to pay their passage and provide for
| their return, are healthy and above all
are coming here in families. This is a
class of laborers which will be most
desirable, for there would be little dan
ger that SuCAl pSOplS "OuIu nc OEi--A
than steady and that they would be
| leaving the plantations very soon. The
leading Japanese believe that this emf
grafton will come here from this time,
| if there is no obstacle in the way, in
the shape of an edict prohibiting emf
| grafton.
Going further there is a side Of the
question which means much to the
world as well. With the critical state
of the politics of the East Japan needs
all the friends possible in the world
powers. There cannot be too many of
them, and with any alienation of the
United States there would be left a gap
which would be impossible to fill. This
would be a great blow to the Japanese.
and may have the effect of holding off
any ultimate action for a time. There
is no doubt but the American authori-
ties are making hard fight to prevent
any lodging of the plague upon our ISL
and and mainland shores, and the ques-
ton now is whether or not there will
be any modification of the examination
order, after new representations are
made at the capital.

The Chinese court has started for
Picking but will hardly know it's old
palace home when it arrives. One may
doubt if any portable article of value
is left on the premises. There are, how
ever, magnificent treasures of art in
other parts of the empire and these will
be drawn upon by the Viceroys to en-
bellish the home of the imperial clan
wherever it may be finally fixed. Pc
king is now so near the Russian border
that it is not regarded as a safe place
for the Chinese government. Formerly
the Manchu sovereigns wanted to live
close to their native province, but with
the Russians there even the sentimental
reason for keeping Picking as the capt.
tai has gone.
