wealth of the country is drawn. AS an
Association Of Merchants we believe
the welfare of all classes, artisans, mer-
chants, and mechanics, in the Islands is
dependent on the successful cultivation
Of sugar cane and it's economical con-
version into the marketable product;
to successfully bring sugar cane to ma
turlty large number of field laborers
are required throughout the Islands,
and this work, which a white man is
unable, from climatic and other condi-
tions, to engage in with any comfort or
success, is at present handled mainly
by japanese laborers; you are doubtless
well aware of the unsatisfactory and
unreliable character of this class of la
Dor, and to fill the great gaps in the
ranks of field hands we believe the
plantation managers throughout the
Islands are unanimous in their decision
that Chinese would best meet the con-
ditions that exist in the cane field, and
prove useful, law-abiding body of
men who, while adding to the wealth
and purchasing power of the whole
community, would not displace a single
white man from any position, or in
any sense enter into competition with
any white artisan, mechanic, or COM
mon laborer. Our Association was
formed for the express purpose of pro-
teeti9g the property and the welfare
of the whole community, and to devise
and promote such legislation as the
associate body may deem wise and ex-
pedient for the benefit of the Territory
of Hawaii. We name the object and
purpose of the Association. as while in
fuential in membership, the body is
but young, and not as yet well known
to the public. Before taking further
steps to secure Chinese field iaborers,
we would be glad if you would bring
the subject before your Union for an
expression of opinion from the members
of your society: for We feel that this
Indispensable RELIEF proposed for the
main industry of the country must COM
mend itself to your judgment and We
trust that your Union will endorse
through its proper officers the action
we have already taken in bringing
this important matter before the United
States Senate Commission. Enclosed

memorial named and your early atten-
ton to this matter will greatly oblige.

Treason to Spain

MADRID, November THE trial of
mist party in the Basque Provinces,
charged with having sent congratu-
latory cablegram to President Roose-
welt last spring on the granting Of
Cuban independence, began at Bilboa
today. The public prosecutor took the
ground that Senior Arana's cablegram
to the President infringed the integrity
and dignity of Spain, and he demanded
that a sentence of eight years impris-
onment be imposed on the prisoner.

If the plans of the Merchants Asso-
citation are carried through there will
be sent to Washington such a memorial
in support of the contention of the
Association in it's paper, laid before
the Senatorial Commission, as will at
tract the attention of the entire Con-
gress. The Association at it's monthly
meeting yesterday unanimously passed
a resolution putting in the hands of
the directors the handling of the cam
paign for the support of every element
of the community for the Associations
contention. The letter which has been
sent out in accordance with the move
of the Association to all the bodies is
as follows:
Dear Sir: The Merchants Associa-
ton of Honolulu. representing the
majority of the white" wholesale and
retail traders of this city, presented a
memorial to the United States Senate
Commission on Porto Rico and Pacific
Island possessions in which they petit
toned the Senators to use their best ef-
forts to have the United States laws
relative to the admission of Chinese
laborers so adjusted for operation in
the Hawaiian Islands, that Chinese la
borers would be permitted to enter the
Hawaiian Islands subject to the con-
dition that they engage in agricultural
pursuits only; if this condition be at
any time broken, the offender to be de-
ported from the country. We laid this
memorial before the Commissioners on
the grounds that all trades and business
enterprises would be benefited thereby.
The need of suitable labor for rice and
cane fields has been brought forcibly
to the minds of mechanics and mer-
chants alike by the contraction of bust
ness enterprise in every direction; large
numbers of skilled mechanics have been
compelled to leave the country from
lack of employment. The Honolulu Iron
Works who do not employ, and never
have employed Asiatic labor, are only
able to run half their normal force,
and the building and kindred trades are
almost at standstill. These conditions
we believe are mainly caused by the
high cost and scarcity of common la
borers in the fields from which the

". H. WRIGHT
CASE OVER
Grand Jury Nearly
Done With the
Capitol.

The grand jury has practically COM
pleted it's investigation of the capitol
scandals, and a report will probably
be made today. If there is a partial
report, it will hardly be of anything
more than of the indictments found,
as there has not yet been time to
draw up the findings of the grand jury
for the entire session. Yesterday the
case of Treasurer w. H. Wright was
considered, and this, it is said, prac-
tically concluded the criminal work of
the grand jury in connection with the
Department affairs
The present grand jury is the most
secretive body of any since annexation
Usually there can be found slight
leak here and there from which some
inkling of the grand jury's doings can
be ascertained, but not so with the
jury Investigating the governments 5
affairs. Each day the necessity for
secrecy is impressed upon the mem
bers, and, excepting what may be sur
missed from the witnesses going in and
out Of the jury room, nothing can be
learned. Absolute secrecy is maintain
ed, even as to the time of the grand
jury's report, and though it was whis-
pered yesterday that report might
come in today, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Cathcart refused to make state
ment even as to that matter. Mr..
Cathcart is prosecuting officer before
the jury, and though he prepares the
indictments, he said yesterday that he
could not state whether any had been
returned or not.
The w. H. Wright case was before the
grand jury yesterday and this all
the witnesses had finished an hour
before the time for adjournment. The
grand jury left the building yesterday
afternoon much earlier than usual,
having apparently finished its investi-
cations in the Wright Case. Secretary
Cooper, w. G. Cooper, Registrar Hapai
and one of the treasury clerks were
witnesses in this case. High Sheriff
Brown was also witness, his appear
ance being the only indication that the
the jury may be investigating into the
facts leading up to Wright's escape.
However, none of those who saw
Wright drive down to the dock in a
hack were before the grand jury as far
as could be learned.
No witnesses have been summoned
for today in the capitol cases, and the
day may possibly be given over to the
drawing up of a report. None of the
witnesses appearing yesterday had to
do with the Austin case, and there has
been no investigation of the audit Office
as yet, unless it was in the testimony
given by witnesses in other cases.

Mystery Not Solved.

A coroner's jury which met yesterday
afternoon to investigate the circum-
stances attending the death of Nagawa
Haru, japanese woman, whose dead
body was found in her room in Pauahi
street and concerning whose death sus-
picions had been entertained of foul
play, only completed half its labor yes
terday and adjourned until noon today.
Evidence was given showing that the
woman had been living with a Jap
anese who left for the Orient some time
ago. DR.. Shorey, who examined the
woman's stomach, stated that he found
no evidence of poisoning.

Yale Men Must Swim

NEW YORK, November EVERY
student entering Yale will become an
expert swimmer, if he cannot advance
good reasons for not taking swimming
lessons, says Herald dispatch from
New Haven. The faculty has found
that 10 per cent of the years entering
class cannot swim. A rule has been
passed to permit swimming lessons to
count for the required gymnasium
work, and directing that students who
are not proficient in this line must be
instructed.

NEW BOARD
APPOINTED
Physicians Must Pass
Examination
Again.

Treasurer Cooper yesterday appointed
a new Board of Medical Examiners, at
the same time notifying the physicians
licensed by the old board that they
would be compelled to return their GER
tificates and take new examinations.
The newly appointed board is com
posed of the following medical men:
W. E. Taylor for the unexpired term
ending July 2, 1903. C. L. Garvin for the
unexpired term ending July 2, 1904, and
C. B. Wood for the unexpired term
ending July 2, 1905. The old board was
composed of Drs. Taylor, Geo. P. An
drews and J. T. Wayson.
The following are the names of the
physicians who were qualified since
June 22nd, 1901. and who will be COM
PEELED to renew their licenses and be
re-examined by the examiners appoint
ed yesterday:
John Scott Bryne, A. M. Atherton,
Yeibin Soga, T. Kikawa, Teil5ichi Nj
momiya, Henry Hayes, H. Hamamoto,
Frederick R. Starr, W. B. Deas, Fred.
W. Hodgins, w. Taketa, Y. Nagai. j.
L. McClelland, E. Nishojima, T. Niidate,
Christian A. Allenburger, Jno. H. East,
K. Tafukuji, Y. Miyata, E. Ishimitsu,
NJ Oyama, T. Uemura, j. Yarnada,
Frank Woodland Taylor, R. G. Curtis,
Joar Baptista de Faria, H. H. May
nard, Y. Nakamura, T. Yoshimoto.
The old board of examiners and the
Board of Health were at the dagger's
point over the licensing of physicians
which the members of the health board
did not approve. The war reached such
point finally that the examipers sent
to the Board of Health a notice that
the Medical Examiners had sole power,
and would not listen to dictation from
the larger body. The principal point of
difference was the admission of Jap
anese to practice in the Territory, the
Board of Health insisting that all ap-
plicants must be examined in the En-
glish language. AS many of the physi-
clans licensed by the old board came
within the objections of the Board of
Health there may now be an effort to
compel more rigid examination, when
these men present themselves for re-
examinat ton. Treasurer Cooper has no.
titled all these physicians to return
their licenses and present themselves
for examination. New certificates will
be issued in place of the old ones with
out the payment of an additional fee,
though all of the physicians above nam
ed will have to pass the scrutiny of the
new board of Medical Examiners.
The statement that these physicians
who secured their certificates from
the old board, are to be prosecuted is
entirely without foundation. New Ii
censes will be issued Immediately with
out extra charge as soon as the ply
sicians pass the required examination.
Altogether there are twenty-nine who
must face the ordeal and sixteen of
these are Japanese

some relief from the pain but nothing
that took helped me at all and be-
came discouraged.
The cords of my left leg were drawn
SO badly that could not straighten it

hip and knee panied me and l suffered
horribly. AT times also had nervous

things, my daughter, Mrs. Fry, who
had been cured of rheumatism by DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
induced me to try that remedy. My
case was very stubborn one and took
five boxes of the pills before could see
much change but kept on and they
certainly did wonders for me. The
cords in my leg began to slacken and
before long it limbered so that could
use it again and be able to sit down.

The real cause of rheumatism is the
presence of acid in the blood, which ir-
ritates the sensitive tissues that unite
the joints and cover the muscles, thus
causing those indescribable fortunes
which rheumatic sufferers endure.
Years ago those afflicted were bled; as
if taking away some of the impure
blood could remedy the balance. This
folly has been abandoned and today
