ONLY AGRICULTURAL
LABORERS FROM
JAPAN
GOVERNMENT SEES TO
IT THAT NO UNSUITABLE MA
TERIAL FROM THE TOWNS is
ALLOWED TO EMIGRATE.

A. K. Ozawa, who has charge of the
Planters Labor Bureau, returned yes
terday by the Coptic from a pleasure
trip 20 Japan. This was the first vaca-
ton he had had for nine years. and he
expresses himself as having thorough
ly enjoyed his trip.
II paid very little attention to busi-
ness.' said Mr.. Ozawa, but some
things l learned that are of interest
here The emigration of Japanese la
borers from the agricultural regions to
Hawaii is likely to continue. l sup
pose there is hardly a prefecture in the
agricultural regions of the Empire
that has not had some representatives
among the laborers who have come
here Some of these have returned, all
have written. SO that wherever you go
in the rural districts in Japan the peo-
pie Know more or less about the Ha-
waiian Islands, and the work that goes
on here. In fact they are pretty accu-
rately informed on the subject. They
know that if they come here they can
get ork on the plantations. So they
do not hesitate to dispose of all the
property they have there if necessary
to make up a sum sufficient to get
them here. Some of them have little
farms. These they dispose of if neces-
sary to get here. In a good many in
stances individuals who have been
here before return again to Hawaii.
Thus while the Japanese knows that If
he comes here he can get employment
the plantations can feel equally sure
that whatever laborers come are from
agricultural districts and are agricul-
! tural laborers, for the Japanese gov
| ernme Mt keeps a strict control of emf
grafton and does not permit the loaf
\
Japanese from cities and towns may be
allowed to emigrate, but not to emf
CRATE to Hawaii, for it is known by the
Japanese government that what are
wanted here are essentially agricul-
tural laborers.
1T does not appear exactly how
many emigrants per steamer the Jap
anese government are willing to allow
to come here, but it seems about SOC
men, Women ana children Per steamer
as a maximum, and whatever the limit
fixed, no more passports are issued.
Every steamer returning takes on an
average of $50 Japanese back to the
empire so that there is a constant cur
rent of outgoing and returning labor
ers. So long as this continues, pretty
exact information as to conditions here
will be held both by the people at large
and by the government.
THE effect of this returning stream
on Japan and the Japanese themselves
is very evident. You cannot go into
any little country village but you vii
find some evidence of the influence this
emigration and return has had. 1t /:
shown too in the more VenturesOmt
spirit shown by the japanese, of which
the Marcus Island incident is but al
Illustration.
Il had a very enjoyable trip; very
enjoyable stay in Japan and l am yer!
glad to get back to Hawaii"

Select tions of the final station sites
for the American Pacific cable will
shortly be made by S. S. Dickinson the
special representative of the Mackay
company, who has been in Honolulu for
some months past.
A successor to Mr.. Dickinson at this
place has already arrived and will take
charge of the cable company's interests
upon Mr.. Dickinson's departure. Mr..
Dickinson is now awaiting the arrival
of the cable ship Colonia from laying
the cable from Victoria to point with
in five miles of Tanning Island.
Mr.. Dickinson will take passage on
the Colonia from Honolulu and go at
once to Midway Island where he will
1t is more than likely that he will fol-
tain Pond who surveyed the island for
the government in 1900.
From Midway island Mr.. Dickinson
will be taken to Guam and finally to
Manila, for the purposes of selecting the
landing sites at both of those places.
From Manila, the Colonia will go at
once to London and receive the cable
which will be laid from Manila to Guam
The s. S. Anglia which is now in this
port and which is to complete the VIC
toria cable from Tanning islands to Fiji
will go to London as soon as this work
shall have been completed and there

from Honolulu to Guam. The Colonia
is expected within a week or ten days
She is expected to sail from Honolulu

NEW CITIZENS
ADDED TO ROLLS
PORTUGUESE ARE BEING MADE
AMERICANS-TWENTY APPLICA-
TIONs MADE THIS MORNING.

The heavy naturalization business
keeps up in the United States District
Court, a large majority o. the apph-
cants being Portuguese. There were
about twenty applicants for citizenship
again this morning, making the num-
Der of new citizens added 10 the rolls
of voters in Hoholulu during the past
six weeks between 100 and 10.
Nearly all of the applicants are Por-
tuguese, and with the 100 vino voted
last time, the number promises to
bring the total Portuguese vote iD Ho-
nolulu up to about 800. The Portuguese
who voted last time, however, appear
to have gone away, or to be very
backward about registering, and those
who are watching the prospects for the
Portuguese vote, are wondering what
has become of the voters VINO register
ed two years ago
The new voters are believed to be
almost wholly Republican. Most Of
them are Portuguese who might have
voted last time, if they had become
citizens.
There are three more days for regis
tratiOn, and it is expected thar the ma
turalization business will keep up to
the last. The leaders in the Portu-
guese Political Club show much inter-
est in the work, and are daily bring
ing cOuntrymen into court, where they
pass very satisfactory examinations.

The cruiser New York will cali at
this port next month. Captain Whiting
received word by the Coptic yester-
day from Admiral Rodgers the COM
mander in chief of the American Naval
forces in the Asiatic station, that the
New York which is the AdmiraPs
flag ship, would arrive at Honolulu on
or about November ~. A request was
made for reservation at one of the Ma
val wharves where the New York
could be coaled.
Admiral Rodgers will leave the Ash
attic station shortly and go home. His
place as commander will be taken by
Admiral Robey d. Evans, Fighting
Bob" who is now in the Orient. In fact
Admiral Evans was reported to have
started up one of the Chinese rivers
for the purpose of investigating an
uprising of Boxers.
He had gone on the gunboat Helena
having transferred his flag from the
battleship Kentucky to the smaller YES
sci as the battleship could not go up
the river.
Admiral Rodgers of the cruiser New
York will stop at Honolulu a few days,
coaling his ship and from this port will
go to San Francisco. The New York
is to go out of commission soon af
ter she reaches the Coast. She may be
sent to Mare Island but local naval
people think it more probable that she
will go to the Bremerton Navy yard.
The advent of the cruiser New York
will cause much interest. Next to the
battleship Oregon and cruiser Brook
lyn, she is one of the best known Ves-
sells in the American navy. She was
Admiral SIMPSONS flag ship during
the battle of Santiago She was like
Jobs warehouse on that memorable day.
! She scented the battle from afar as
/ it were, and managed to come up in
time to be in after the death of the
| Spaniard.
The cruiser will be the first large war
ship to enter this harbor. A reception
will probably be given aboard during
! her visit in Honolulu.

LOST HIS LIFE.
Peculiar Drowning of Japanese Fisher
man at Punaluu.
RgsI


F1T
News of a very peculiar drowning at
Punaluu was brought this morning by
the steamer Mauna LOa which arrived
from Hawaii ports. on last Sunday
three Japanese were fishing along the
shore at Punaluu. They waded out a
short distance A big wave came in
and broke over them before they rea-
lized it's presence Two of the Japanese
had no trouble in getting ashore They
were greatly astonished and alarmed
when they saw nothing of their COM
panion. They waded out and tried to
find him but no trace was secured.
A native was sent to search for the
missing man. Diving, the native dis
covered the body of the missing Japa-
nese on the bottom, about five feet be-
low the surface. The left foot of the
Japanese was firmly wedged between
some rocks, thus preventing his escape.
The unfortunate man had been helpless
in this position. Just how his foot came
to be wedged between the rocks is not
certain. 1t is thought probable that
the wave threw the Japanese to the
bottom and the force of incoming wa
ters wedged the mans foot in the rocks.
The native dived and recovered the
body of the Japanese.

EVANS LOOKING FOR BOXERS
Frawley is
Successful
in Yokohama

The Neill- -Frawley company
which went to the orient on the
Korea met with an enthusiastic
reception and a crowded house
in Yokohama where they pre-
sented Secret Service" on the
night of their arrival there. The
Japan Daily Advertiser devotes
two columns and a half to re-
view and criticism of the play
and company, beginning thus:
1t is perhaps the highest praise
to say of the Neill-Frawley
Company, which produced Sc
cret Service" at the Public Hall
last Saturday evening, that
they converted, for the time be-
ing at least, many an avowed foe
of melodrama. Secret Service"
certainly is a melodrama, though
it contains several agreeable de.
partures from the cut and dried
Adelphi pattern, beloved of the
Olympians. Saturdays audience
-one of the largest that has
ever assembled in the Public
Hall, was quite prepared to- he
amused by what might be in
tended to impress, but all were
satisfied with the show.

A NEW SEWER.
At the Frequently Flooded Piikoi and
King Street Crossing.

A sewer is being laid across Piikoi
street and down the extension of that
street to carry away the floods that
with every rain sweep down that street
and make a mill pond at the Piikoi and
King street crossing. More than once
during the past year following a heavy
rain the street at this point has been
so deeply flooded that it was impossi-
BILE to cross Piikoi street on King street
afoot, and not altogether pleasant in
vehicle. The tramways system has
been deranged by the great quantities
of mud and gravel brought down by
these floods and deposited on the track
at this point. Efforts have been made
by means of open bitches to do away
with these floods, but without avail,
and now a storm sewer about two feet
and a half in diameter is being put in.

w. A. Seville, color artist
who has been spending some
months on Hawaii, Is the latest
artist to attempt a picture of
the volcano Kilauea. Seville
went to the volcano when it
broke out the last time, and
made several canvases, which
are highly spoken of by people
who have seen them. One is a
small picture intended to be in a
frame Illuminated and it shows
a most brilliant effect when lit
up. Seville's pictures show near
ly as much color as those of
Hitchcock, made during the
eruptions of years ago.
The artist has made one large
painting of the last lava flow,
