TENNIS TOURNAMENT.

The finals in the Beretania invitation
tennis tournament will be played at
o'clock this afternoon at the Beretania
Tennis Clubs courts. The public is
invited to attend. The play will be
between f. c. Atherton and a. r.
Cunha. Atherton won yesterday from
Lewis King, 10, 60, and Cunha won
from Derby after a long and tying
struggle, Sc, 81, 60. The game this
afternoon ought to be a splendid eXhi-
bitiOn of tennis. The winner will meet
c. II. Elston the present holder of the
invitation singles cup, on Wednesday
afternoon. The record of this tourna-
ment to date is as follows:

she was deposed we made a full in
vestigation Of the condition, character
and value of these crown lands at the
time of her deposition as Queen, and
of the revenue arising therefrom an
nually.
Our whole time during our stay in
the islands, with the exception of a
very few hours, was closely devoted to
the Investigations in which we were
engaged. We have a mass of tesu-
mony bearing upon the several sub
jects of inquiry
AS yet the committee has had no OPP
portunity whatever to discuss any of
the subjects into which we have been
! inquiring, much less to come to any
| conclusion in regard to any of these
| subjects, and will not take the same
! up for consideration until we reach
| Washington, which we hope to do ear
! ly in November. Besides it would be
quite improper, even had we reached
| any conclusions in regard to any of the
| subjects of our inquiry, to make the
same public before submitting the
same before the full committee and the
! Senate.
1t may, however, not be improper
| to refer to the present business and
! industrial conditions. Contrary to the
| conditions of great commercial and
|
the mainland throughout the United
States, we regret being compelled to
say we found the islands in a state of
very great commercial and industrial
| depression, caused as 1t is generally
claimed, by the low price of sugar and
the scarcity and high price of labor.
l embrace this opportunity to state
on behalf Of my associates and attach
es of the committee and their ladies
accompanying them and myself, that
our reception on our arrival and treat
ment while in the islands by both peo-
pie and press were of the most cordial
character. Not a word of criticism
came from the press as to the manner
in which we conducted our eXamina-
lions, which were open to all, nor from
any other source so far as we know
On our arrival at Honolulu our SER
geant at arms, Senator Fosters secre-
tary, Thomas Summons was taken i'll
with typhoid fever, and was compelled
to go to the hospital. He was gradual
ly improving on our departure, but
will be unable to leave Honolulu for a
couple of weeks. Aside from this and
a slight attack of rheumatism which
annoyed Senator Foster somewhat on
the home-bound trip, our party was
blessed with good health. | am also
gratified to be able to state that
throughout our stay in the islands a
spirit of harmony in the committee has
characterized all our proceedings. Al
though we enjoyed the beautiful ISL
ands and the proverbial generous hos
pitality of their people, irrespective of
race or condition in life, we are all hap
py to be once more on the mainland
soil.
l am authorized by my colleagues,
Senators Burton and Foster to say
that they fully indorse all the state
ments l have just made in this inter-
view.

THE ENGLISH LABOR

The state of the market for unskilled
labor in England has been revealed by
an investigator, who answered an adj
vertisement for a young, sober, and
intelligent man to fill a position Of
trust" and has come in for a great
deal of sharp criticism from some of
the London newspapers.
The investigators application for the
job was answered by a pier company
in Blackpool, Lancashire, a popular
seaside resort in the north country. The
reply furnished these particulars as to
the JON:
IF appointed, would you be willing
to wear uniform, and assist generally
with any kind of work? The hours
would be from Z a. m. to 10 p. m, sun
days included. Wages, G1 per week
for six weeks and 25s after to the end
of season."
The applicant, not being a person
with a family to support on a salary
of IS a week in a town where the cost
of living would be high, was humor-
ously impressed by these conditions of
labor, and returned this reply copy
of which he also sent to the newspa-
pers:
II beg to say that shall be willing
to wear the uniform and carry out all
the duties IL you COulu make the hours
little longer, as am very DESTROYS Of
being fully occupied so as to enable me
to save a good portion of the wages
you offer. l think the public houses
open at o'clock in your season and
close at IL, so that If you could arrange
for my being at the pier at, say 490 a.
m. and finishing, say 1880 p. M, the
situation would suit me well, and take
me out of temptation.
I'm my last situation, which held
for ten years, 1 only worked eight
hours a day, and Saturdays and Sun
days l was unemployed, which caused
me to get a little demented through
having no much idle time on my hands.
/ see your wages work out at some
thing like 2 2-1d (about Az cents) per
hour, but / should not mind the reduce
ed amount if the situation were made
to my satisfaction"

CHINEsE Going HOME.

VANCOUVER (B. c., October 6-The
annual migration of Chinese to their
native land has begun. The Empress
OF India, which sailed today, carried
$50 Chinese and refused the applications
of $50 others who desired to go. This
is the largest number to be carried to
China on any trip of an Empress
steamer. The occasion of the exodus
of Chinese is the approach of the New
Year celebration, and every outbound

three months will carry hundreds Of

BANKS
OF OLD ENGLAND
THEY HAVE ENORMOUS DEPOSITS
AND PAY BIG DIvIDENDs-BANE
OF ENGLAND PAYS 10 PER CENT.

The Bank of England only pays 10
per cent dividends per annum in which
it falls far behind the great joint stock
and private banks. However, the ad-
vantages of being a stockholder of the
big bank are so many and varied that
the honor is much sought after by Brit
ish capitalists, though as matter Of
profit it is better to hold the shares of
other financial institutions. These have
such immense deposits on which they
pay no interest that they declare large
dividends and besides are able to build
up powerful systems of branches out
of the surplus profits. The Union Bank
of London with $50, 900, 900 of deposits
reported at the last annual meeting that
it had paid out only 100000 in interest.
The old private bank of Barclay q Co.
has now become a great limited corpor-
alton, and has absorbed twenty-five
other banks. They show deposits of
$165, 000, 600, and the net profits for their
last fiscal year. after making provision
for all bad and doubtful debts, amount
ed to 81, 100000, out of which a dividend
of 10 per cent was paid. The London
and County bank paid n per cent, after
making very large charges to other ac-
counts, and did the same the year be-
fore.
The annual reports of the London
banks like these, convey a good idea
of the enormous wealth of Great Brit
ain. No other nation could have so
easily passed through the South Az
rican war, the expenditure for which
according to the Statist, far exceed the
, indemnity paid France by Germany
and which Bismarck expected would
cripple the country for a generation.
The Statist figures the cost in round
figures at $1,5OO 100000 which exceeds
the French payment by $l5OO00,0O0, yet
the increase of wealth during the past
three years in the United Kingdom has

trous TO the party at large.
AS at present constituted, uhe two
parties hold the allegiance of their re-
/ lspective following. ond this combined
constitutes the fun Republican
strength. Under the system which has
been followed in the last two cam
paigns. There has been an agreement
ON candidates. and this has resulted IN
THE poll of the fun vote. which meant
Victory. In our opinion, until IN,
fundamental differences between tn,
organizations are removed this repre-
lsents the only feasible plan OF seour
ing the support of all Republican
electors and I'm our opinion L. shoui'
be continued.
Under these conditions. looking Z,
the success OF the party at the poll
next fall. and with ihe hope that per
sOnal ambitions may be subordinate
TO that end. we cannot but refuse Q
comply with your request. while i'm
dulging i'm the hope that the rea
causes of party strife may disappear
wihen harmonious and fIaternal actiO
may again be possible
Yours very truly,
Philip O. Chwchman.
Chairman OF the Republican stat
Committee.
