FIELD LABOR SCARCE
IN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Ex-senator Thurston Talks of
His Observations.

IT'S almost impossible to secure field
laborers in the Hawaiian Islands said
former Senator John NJ Thurston. OF
Nebraska, this morning. NJ. Thurston
has just returned from a six weeks visit
to Honolulu aad other cities in the isl
ands
And because of this scarcity Of labor
there is a general financial depression IN
the islands. The labor the Hawaiian
could get is excluded from the island By
our immigration laws. Chinese is the
only labor that can be depended on.
They are a success il the sugar cane
field but they are now excluded from
Hawaii and the result is the sugar plan
tations are not half cultivated
THE Hawaiians viii renew their ef-
forts when Congress meets in December
to have the immigration law amended,
so as 10 admit Cinnamon % labor in the
fields and to prohibit them from doing
any other work in the islands that would
come in competition with native work
men.
Something of this kind must be done
for the further development and work
ing of the sugar plantations" Mr..
Thurston said.

JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
RULES UNSATISFACTORY
Washington Bar Revision
Committee to Meet Soon.

The committee appointed by the
Washington Bar Association to revise
the rules Of practice before justices of
the peace viii begin work within the
next few days and will report at a called
meeting of the association. Attorney
Wharton E Lester, chairman, says that
many difficulties are presented, and that
only with the assistance Of the entire
membership Of tha 5ar can the revision
be completed satisfactorily.
In connection with the subject the
statement is made that it is not alone
the rules of practice that are giving
local practitioners uneasiness- There
are many members Of the bar who are OF
the opinion that the justices now exer-
cising the duties of the Office are not
legally qualified to do so, The constItu-
tionality of their appointment BY the
President has been questioned, and is
now pending before the Supreme Court
Of the District. There is little proba-
bility that the question will be brought
to an issue during the present term Of
court. however.
The justices title to Office is ques-
toned on the ground that the Presi-
dent had no authority to appoint them
when he did so. The present incum-
bents we're nominated on December u
last Twelve days later the nominations
were confirmed by the Senate and their
commissions issued to them.
The authority to appoint ten justices
OF the peace was conferred on the Presi-
dent by the code, which went into ef-
feet on january last. His act of ap-
pointing the justices of the peace before
that date is held by many members Of
the bar to be unconstitutional and void.
They contend that they are warranted in
this conclusion by the decision of the
Court Of Appeals for the District.
which declared that the grand and petit
juTies drawn to serve in the Supreme
Court OF the District Tor the month
Of January last were Illegally organized
This decision was based on the fact that
the President had not signed the act
under witch the juTies were summoned
until after they were organized.
It is possible that the eommitte which
VIII revise the rules OF practice before
the justices viii also make some recon-
mendation which will hasten the settle
ment of the other question.

constitute ali that remains Of that place.
Its palmy days are over, and its attrac-
tions for the "thoroughbreds" are a
thing Of the past-
HaIcyon Days of the Resort
In former years the various gambling
tables at Jackson City were nightly
thrOnged. In those days big games were
played. and the reputation Of the pIa &c
extended far and wide. attracting
moneyed sports from all sections of the
country. In those days Jackson City
was a hotbed Of Iawlessness and vice
The dives were fitted up in most
luxurious manner, and everything was
made as attractive as possible Ire va
rious paraphernalia used was of the
most expensive variety Finally steps
were taken to break up the place. Law
and order leagues were legion. The re-
sorts were raided time and again. and
high-priced Iayouts were captured and
burned. The last important raid was
several years ago, when Governor O'Fer-
rail- stepped in and sent up Richmond
detectives TO the place The detectives
succeeded IN capturing several thousand
dollars worth Of valuable parapherna-
la.
Since then things have steadily been
on the decline. The few dives that
remain cater to the small fry, and the
stakes are small II is very seldom that
any big games are pulled OF at the
place Most OF the patrons of the place
are from Washington The proprietors
probably now make more out OF policy
than any game that goes en- al the

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Opens Weak, But Rallies in
Sympathy With Coarse Grains.

CHICAGO. May 2l.-Wheat. after open
ing weak, rallied in sympathy with the
early strength in coarse grains. On the
advance there was free selling on fav-
orable crop conditions in this country
and abroad, and shortly before the close.
When early buyers started to sell there
was no support to the market. which
broke Sharply and closed weak. &c
lower than last night.
Liverpool market quiet. Cash demand
here was very quiet and export limits
we're below working basis. The sea-
board reported export demand there
quiet also. Weather conditions in the
Northwest have improved and in the
winter wheat belt are all that could be
desired
Corn, after ruling firm during the
early part OF the session on covering
by shorts. owing to light country offer
inrs later prices eased of on realizing,
for the close was quiet. July and Sep
TENDER Ii higher than last night. For
eign markets were steady. Cash demand
was rather quiet. Weather continues
favorable. Estimated tomorrow As cars.
There was fairly large trade in oats
and the market for July ruled very
firm, closing AGSs higher than last
night. Country offerings were very
light, and there was a very good cash
demand. Weather was generally favor
able for the growing crop. Estimated
receipts for tomorrow 120 cars.
Provisions opened easy on excessive
receipts Of hogs. The market was given
the customary support. but later offer
ings were so heavy that a material
break resulted The close was weak At
the lowest prices of the day. Lard and
ribs showed the greater weakness. and
while pork was also weak. the trade was
not heavy.
The unexpected heavy run Of hogs has
at last had its effect on outside holders,
who have been following the leaders,
and several important packing interests
have also turned sellers.
