IS RIGHT
Tacoma Paper Endorses Posi-
tiSn of Daily Alaskan.

The Industrial West" a trade journal
published at Tacoma, commenting upon
the Alaskan mall servles says
1.-The Skagway Alaskan urges the Skag-
way chamber Of commerce to take up the
mail question at once, and declares that
every American boat that slsams to the
North should carry mall. The Alaskan Is
right. Unele Samuel has certainly OBJ
talnsd much from Alaska, and Is still
getting more than enough to warrant pro-
Yldlng every possible facility for the
speedy and frequent dispatch Of mall des-
tined to the progressive and hardy people
that arc pioneering Il In the Nyrth. A
four day mall service would only be
tolsrabls II that was the best that could be
done, but Il Is possible to do vastly better.
The best possible service should be In
augurated without delay"

The statement made by Mr. Hum
phreyS that during the same period
only twentyfOur japanese returned to
Japan is incorrect, for as a matter of
fact 1859 Japanese, including women
and children, or 3,51 adult males. left
Hawaii. These figures may be relied
upon.
The statement made that 10000 Jap
anese came into the country if intenueu
to convey the idea that that number
of male laborers arrived, is considerably
aStray, as is also his statement concern
ing the number who in that time left
the country. Mr.. Humphreys avoided
reference to the departures of Chinese
during the same period, which, as may
be seen from the annexed table. show
an excess over arrivals of 359 adult
males.
A statement showing the arrivals and
departures of Japanese and Chinese
from June 14th, 1900, to June Both. 1902,
was submitted to the Commission on

of the Planters Association. but ii
! might be as well to repeat the state
ments therein contained that for this
period of little more than two years
the immigration of male Japanese was
6,606. and the emigration 6,2S4, being
an increase of 322 only, whereas the
immigration of male Chinese for the
like period was 1908, and the emigra-
ton $40, making a reduction in the
Chinese population of 1867 for that
period. Taking both nationalities OF

Statistics at Washington. A copy of
Mr.. ThrumS detailed table upon the
subject is attached hereto and marked
Table B." For many years prior To
annexation, men of various nationali-
ties lived here under the monarchy and
afterwards the Hawaiian Republic, de-
voting their intelligence. energy and
capital to the development of local re-
sources, of which the production of SUI
gar was and is the most important.
These men attached themselves to the
soil, and made their homes in these ISL
ands. They paid a large proportion of
the taxes; they started and carried to
success great and hazardous enter
prises. Their property was and is as
much entitled to protection as is the
property of any one resident within
these Islands, and so far as the busiSz
cerned they are the best qualified to
speak, and should have the foremost
right TO do SO.

cipally to do with the sugar industry

Puerto Ricans.-In regard to Judge

inhumane treatment of Puerto Ricans,
it may be desirable to state for the
purpose of saving any further trouble
in connection with the matter on the
part OF the commission, that the whole
lquestiOn of the treatment of Puerto
Ricans was long since taken up by the
administration at Washington, and the
Collector of Customs at this port, as
well as the United States immigration

and report thereon. The matter of the

F. NJ. Hatch spoke at some length
about the need of a third judge. He
thought the practice of having all the
judges doing probate business as better
than that of the mainland and he and
Senator Burton had a little colloquy
which ended with Burton's query as to
whether or not the only American thing
here was the voting for legislature and
delegate, saying that everything seem
ed to be constructed on mnnarchical
lines.
When the session opened for the aft
crnoon F. NJ, Hatch filed a Supreme
Court decision and two reports touching
upon the o. r. e L. Co.'S bonds as
Judge Humphreys had cast some stric
lures upon those securities.
CLARK ON AGRIcULTURE.
Byron o. Clark said he came from
California five years ago, he being the
organizer of the Wahiawa colony of
thirteen families, and secured 1900 acres
of land which was subdivided between
the people, This land has been used
largely for experimental purposes, the
principal crop being pineapples. There
has been much development work done
and the efforts to make homes for A
mericans were an unqualified success.
Harry A Juen testified that he was
arrested at his home at u o'clock at
night jan s. 1895, by five or six armed
men. At the time he was told the mar
shall wanted to see him, and no warrant
was shown. Confinement in Oahu
prison lasted forty-three days and there
was no charge or hearing.
The government, he said, sent parties
there with proposition that if they
remained they would not be tried per
haps for a year. but if they would sign
! a document and leave the country they
could do So Juen was advised that he
would better do this and he did, going
to California. The document said that
he was being held for completely in a
revolution and would agree to leave and
never return without leave of the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs. Juen said he
was away six months leaving his fam
lily here His return was due to oral in
formation from the consul that he
could come back. A claim was filed
at The time where it still rests.
Charles Creighton said he refused tt
