Honolulu, September Gath, 1902.
During the course Of the paper he
commented upon each paragraph in
language which gave the impression
that he was reading something prepared
by another and must explain 1t. When
he asked for the payment of the fire
claims he said that he had known for
a long time that Chinatown was an
eyesore To the white people and they
were anxious to have IL destroyed and
the Chinese removed out OF town. He
said that IA Chinese had told him that
the Board Of Health had been notified
that 1t was windy day and that II
would be unwise TO burn. But he said
they went on and did II and the con-
sequence was the destruction Of China

there were a number OF people who
thought there was something In this.

as perfectly satisfied.
Now for the sequel. On the 10th of

The Fiji files which arrived yester-
day contain the following interesting
letter from an Australian paper:
To the Editor Daily Telegraph. Sir:
AS all Australia is just now interested
in sugar-cane grown by white labor,
through the recent Federal tariff, some
expression of personal experience in
the matter should be interesting. Allow
me, therefore, through your valuable
paper to give it.
AS cane-grower at Homebush,
Mackay, Queensland, / dismissed all
my kanakas in February last, in order
to get the rebate of 5s. per ton on
white-grown sugar-cane for the COM
ing season. ! registered my name as a
cane-grower, also my intention Of ap-
plying for this bonus of 5s. per ton, at
the same time carrying on the work
of the plantation with white labor at
greater expense and difficulty.
On the first day of May last made
an agreement with a ganger of a white
gang Of men to cut cane, and to begin
in July. The terms of the agreement
were Is 4d per ton for all cane averag-
ing down to 10 tons per acre; below
this average 5s. Two weeks later the
ganger came to me, saying that the
other men were not agreeable to these
terms, stating that it would be much
more clear to them If 5s. per ton were
given all round. They would then be
relieved of the trouble of checking the
weights at the bridge. This, of
course, was a considerable advance on
my previous offer, but after the consid-

the matter was settled; but after a
couple of weeks the ganger again called
upon me to ask whether the G. S. r..

assured him that they We're. Upon this
he said the men were not quite satisfied

Among other things he said that
there was tract of seventy acres on
Maui which If opened for settlement
would support seventy families, but the
government would lease them to- the
plantations, he was sure. He said he
wanted to see 1000 American farmers
here and they would come If the home

a long and somewhat incoherent state
ment as t. the values of lands and also
as to the cost of producing sugar. He
gave the price of sugar at four cents
and in his statement did not count the
cost of marketing at all.

WILCOX ON MANY POINTS.


Delegate Robert w. Wilcox was the
next witness and he furnished sensa-
tions for few moments. He began
by saying that he wished to call to the
attention of the Commission some of
the actions of the land office. He said
that three natives. Senator kalauoka-
lani, n. w. Holt and Mrs. Kaahanui
Kawaihoa, who had for years been liv-
ing on crown lands had recently been
dispossessed and their lands given to
the Kapiolani estate, in the matter of
an exchange for lands along the Wal
kiki road, which was being widened.
He said the road was already sixty
feet wide and the government was
making it 100 feet for the purpose of
squeezing out the Tramways Company
and giving the Rapid Transit Company
a monopoly. He SAID it was a shame
that there should be money spent upon
such projects while the Territory was
at the same time asking Congress to
assist it by paying the amount Of the
fire claims awards.
He also took up the matter of the
building of a great wharf at immense
cost which he said was done by a con-
Germ which expects to get it's money
back from the next legislature. He
said this was wrong as the Federal
government should build the docks. He
said the result would be that the people
who are building the dock would come
before the Legislature and try to cor
rupt it. He then read the following pa
per:
To The Honorable Committee OF
the United States Senate Committee
on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico.
Gentlemen: Among the existing needs
and more urgent necessities of this Ter
ritory, which ! deem 1t important that
