Crowded Quarters.

The Monaghan laborers live. as rule,
in rather crowded quarters, and this man
ner of living seems to be largely their
preference Their dwelling places are
generally rooms built in the barrack
style. and each room may contain from
two TO six or eight occupants. 1t is not
an infrequent occurrence on plantations
that many rooms are vacant because
their occupants have voluntarily gone

Workmen Needed.

In Honolulu skilled workmen. such as
carpenters. plumbers, machinists, etc,
are we'll organized, and their various la
Dor unions are prosperous and influen-
tial.
Because of the shortage of workmen
and the profits arising from their en-
ployment. the labor unions have usually
been able to secure acquiescence on the
part OF employers with the few demands
they have made for either increased
wages or for shorter hours of labor with
out being compelled TO resort to strikes;
ana the few strikes that have occurred
have usually been of short duration and
successful. The wages paid in Honolulu
govern. in general way. the wages paid
for similar labor throughout the Terri
tory.

(Continucd from Second PageD

The Nongolians after accommodating suffi-
cient money return to their homes across
the sea and since the annexation by the
United States the immigration of the Chi
nese has ceased, of course, ana there has
been none to take their places.
Relief has been and is being sought
bv the importation of Porto Ricans and
negroes from the Southern states. II is
problematical, however, whether the peo-
pie thus imported will adequately supply
the places formerly occupied by the Mon
goIians. the lack of familiarity Of most
of them with the industry in which they
are TO be employed and of ability to ad-
h,st themselves quickly to new environ
ments standing in the way Of their i'm
mediate usefulness.
Room for Laborers.
While the severity Of the labor required
In the sugar fields has been thought too
great for the Anglo-Saxon satisfactorily
to perform. the Territory undoubtedly af-
fords many advantages to the agricul-
tural Iaborer The character OF the eli
mate is such as never to prevent him
from working and the employment Is OF
a kind to give him the opportunity FOR
continuous work.
The forms of sickness common TO most
tropicai countries are said TO be prac-
,icaIly unknown. there being no distinct
lively climatic diseases; and, as sanitary
conditions are closely looked after and
maintained at a high standard. very little
sickness prevails among plantation Ia
borers.
The cost OF living, so far as food Is
concerned. is somewhat higher than IN
other portions of the United States, but
this increase is Offset by the relatively
higher wages paid, by the continuity OF
employment, and by the low cost OF wear
ing apparel, the mild climate demanding
very little expenditure in this direction
on all plgntations the laborers are fur-
nished with comfortable dwellings rent
free. and in many cases with sufficient
ground for the cultivation of vegetables.
As a rule plantations employ competent
phvsician. whose services are also given
free TO all laborcrs and to such members
of their families as require them, while
on many plantations well equipped hospi-
tails are maintained, in which those dis
abIed by sickness or accident are cared
for as well as a generous provision rem
ders possible.

NATIVE HAWAIIAN Is
FAST DISAPPEARING

into other rooms already occupied by
their countrymen.
Those who are married whether Mon
golians or of other races, are frequently
provided with dwellings of two or more
rooms, according to the size OF their fam
lilies, and there appears to be a general
disposition to afford as commOdious quar-
tiers for laborers as they themselves de-
sire.
1t goes without saying that in any
community. the great majority of whose
members are unmarried. the social life
will not be Of high order, and this is
the case on the plantations. Each plan
tation constitutes community within it
self, and the isolation of those who labor
in these communities is such that they
rarely come into touch with or have any
knowledge of outside affairs or occur
rences.
OF course those who have families en-
JOY a higher social existence than the
great mass of unmarried labOrers, and
social or club organizations occasionally
maintained among the more intelligent of
the employees contribute in some small
degree to their pleasure and improve
ment.
Convenience Of Employees.
At the majority of plantations stores
are maintained, more for the convenience
of the employees than from the profit to
be derived therefrom. No compulsion of
any sort is exercised over the employees,
as rule, as to the purchase of their
supplies. and other stores located in the
neighborhood of every plantation are lib
orally patroniZed
Plantation managers under present con-
ditions are too anxious to keep on good
Ia to n
cree them in any way, and no pressure
is brought to bear upon them in the mat
ter of purchasing supplies Wages are
invariably paid in cash, mon hly, and
such store bills as the labCrer may
owe are not deducted. He receives the
full amount of money due him, and pays
his bills himself

Expressions of Sympathy.

The death of no official in public life
in Washington, or for that matter. any
where in the United States, could have
awakened for the bereft family more ex-
pressions of sympathy than those which
have poured into the Talmage home at
100 Massachusetts, Avenue since the soul
of the great divine passed into the flu
ture.
From all parts of the world from men
and women in all walks Of life, from the
clergy of all denominations, from the
thousands who nad known and loved and
admired DR. Talmage during his long,
useful. and brilliant career there poured
kilograms of confidence TO the scrrowing
family. At the door hung the plain symbol
of death with a cluster of violets reliev-
ing its somber tone.

ANENT CECIL RHODES
INTERESTING STORY ABOUT HOW

"One Who Knows. Declares the Credit
is Due to F. B..
Thompson.

LONDON March 29-Anid the maze OF
biographies, character sketches, criticisms
and eulogies of the late Cecil Rhodes,
which continue to appear here, there was a
letter published today which throws new
light on the historic Lobengula treaty, by
which Mr.. Rhodes made Rhodesia. 1t is
signed lone Who Knows and points out
that neither Mr.. Rhodes. Mr.. Mcguire nor
Mr.. Rudd deserves credit for the famous
concession, but that it belongs to F. r.
Thompson, member of parliament for Win
berg, Cape Colony, known as Matabete
Thompson AS proof of the writer's as
sertion, this characteristic letter of Mr..
Rhodes to Mr.. Thompson. dated London,
July, 1883, is adduced:
Dear Thompson: Stick to 1t. / trust to
you alone. Upon you depends the whole
thing The concession l consider to be your
work. The charter is mine. Without the
latter the former would be unavoidable.
Nature abhors vacuum. l ask you is
there better chance in the world for you?
Besides icing one of the richest men In
the colony, you will have the kudoS glory.
Napoleon was prepared to share the world
so long as he got Europe to work on these
lines. Can't you give the whites who are
in the country something? After all, they
deserve something. If any doubt your
power show them this. c. will pay all
checks you draw. l feel you won't fail
me. Stick to the post

laver and peril at the kings kraal, at Bu-

A financial authority of the Daily Tele-
graph estimates Mr.. Rhodes fortune at
over $15,OO 600, and, in a forecast of the fu-
ture of Rhodesia, draws a curious compari-
son between the agricultural possibilities
of that country and those of Iowa. The Sc

ert Benson, a director and leading spirit
of the land company of Iowa. is now a di-
rector Of the Chartered Trust Company,

FREEDMAN SCORES A POINT.
Justice Traux Overrules the Demurrer
of A. G.. Spalding.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Justice Truax in
the supreme court. today overruled a de-
murrer entered by A. G. Spalding and
others TO the injunction suit brought by
Andrew Freedman, owner of the New York
Base Ball Club, to restrain Spalding from
acting as president Of the National League.
Justice Truax decided that the defendants
might withdraw the demurrer and defend
the suit on the payment of costs. The suit
was begun last December when Freedman
obtained temporary injunction restraining
Spalding from exercising any of the func-
tions Of the Office of president of the Ma
tional League, to which he was elected at a
meeting of the National League held at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel.
1t was alleged in the plea for an in
junction that the election was void as a
quorum was not present at the time. Those
who participated in Spaldings election
were representatives OF the Pittsburg,
Chicago, Brooklyn and Philadelphia clubs.
Spalding demurred to the complaint on
the ground that the court had not juris-
diction of the subject of the action; that
the plaintiffs had not legal capacity to sue;
that there was a defect of parties plain
tiffs; that there was defect Of parties de-
PENDANTS, and that the complaint did not
state facts sufficient to constitute a cause
of action,

Finally Agreed On.

RICHMOND, Va, March 29.-A suffrage
plan has been finally agreed upon by the
constitutional convention of Virginia, under
which it is expected the negro vote will be
practically eliminated.
1t provides that voters shall pay a poll
tax of $50, shall be able to read, or under
stand, when read to them, the constitution
of the state, and shall be able to make ap-
plication for the right to register in their
own handwriting in the presence of the
registrars.

in effect until January 1, 1904. The other
features are permanent. Confederate SOL

TOBACCO WAR IN LONDON.
The Spectator Makes Curious Com
ments on the Subject.

LONDON, March 29.-The tobacco war
here has created degree Of national in
terest far greater than that usually asso-
ciated with trade disputes. Academic or
gans, like the Spectator, devote many COL
umns to serious discussion of the results
of such wholesale disintegration of a
British system by American capital. The
Spectator draws curious comparison OF
the rival methods. English capitalists
says this paper, will risk millions in
trade war with the greatest pluck: but
American capitalists win actually sacrifice
them rather than be beaten. Such wars
are the enjoyment of their otherwise rather
dull and overworked life. They will feel
disgraced II they do not win. and will stake
their last dollar on exchanges, which to
them are fields of glory or humiliation.
What else have they to live for? Politics
offer no career. They cannot found fam
lilies, in the English sense, and as for lux
ury they enjoy IL like the Roman mobiles,
while they have it. or do without in serene
content"
These characteristics. the Spectator de-
duces. bode Ill for British trade, and 1t
prophesies an attempt to coerce the re-
taller on the part of the American COM
pany, which Is now brought up all stand
ing against British character. in the form
of the dun passivity Of the retailers nen-
trality between the combines, in which.

tIonable strength, for you can blow up st.
Paufs sooner than q Quagmire."

THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE ITEM.
To Be Added to the Sundry Civil, Not
the District, Bill

The amendment appropriating 10000 for
the commencement of work on the memor-
ial bridge, approved yesterday by the Sem
ate District committee, was not intended
to be added to the District appropriation
bill. as was stated in The Star last even
ing, but to the sundry civil bill. which has
always heretofore been the vehicle for that
item. The publication was caused by a
slip Of the pen at the Capitol, which was
corrected Immediately afterward, but too
late to affect the news reports. The ap-
preparation, if provided, will be carried by
the sundry civil bill, and will be borne ex-
ciusively by the general government, ac-
cording to the established principle with re-
gard to this enterprise Had the item been
added to the District bill half the bridge
cost would be borne by the District which
has never been contemplated.
