THURSTON ON
CH!NSEE LABOR

WASHINGTON, October 2S.--Form-
er Senator Thurston. who has returned
from an extended visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, says prosperous conditions
can never become general In those Is
lands until the Chinese exclusion act
is amended so as to permit the entrance
of Chinese.
There is a scarcity OF labor which
has caused general financial depression
in the islands," said Mr.. Thurston.
1.-The labor the Hawaiians could get
Is excluded from the islands by our
immigration laws. Chinese furnish
the only labor that can be depended
upon. They are a success in the sugar
cane field, but they are now excluded
from Hawaii and the result is that the
sugar plantations are not half cult
waited"
Mr.. Thurston thinks that IL the
sugar industry is to develop In the
islands Congress will have to pass a
law removing restriction against the
Chinese so far as plantation labor Is
concerned but at the same time pro-
hibiting them from doing any other
work which might come into competi-
ton with native workmen.

FOUGHT WHALES
IN FAR NORTH

SAN FRANCISCO. November "a
thousand miles north of Point Barrow
in the Arctic, the whaling steamer
: jeanette obtained most of the 1900
pounds of bone that represents her
seasons catch. Seven whales were Ia
ken by Captain Newth and his crew
since they left this port on March IL
last. In the course OF her northern
cruise the jeanette was off the most
northerly shore of Banks land. This
was on August 49, Previous to that,
however, or on July 4, the jeanette
raced with the other vessels of the
fleet for the Arctic through Behring
straits, arriving in the great open sea
ahead of her rivals. Not all the seven
whales that fell into the Jeanette's net
were taken without difficulty, for when
off Banks land bull whale sounded
after being struck, taking with him
400 fathoms of towing line. AS the
last of the line went whizzing out the
mate drew his knife to cut the rope,
to save the boat and its occupants, but
the line fortunately parted near the
whale and was recovered, though the
whale got away. On another occasion
fourteen bombs were shot into a
whale, and for twenty-four hours the
boats crew was fighting for it's cap
ture, being at last successful. Nobody
was injured during the exciting expert
ences. arn'
A sailor Of the Jeanette named Her
man Mailman attempted to escape over
the ice on July ! on the Alaska coast,
but when he had covered mile the
fifth mate and several Esquimaux went
after him with rifles. Mailman was
captured and returned to the ship.
Two other sailors, named John Muir
ply and John Drew, sent a letter
ashore at st. Michael claiming to have
been shanghaied, and expressing a
preference for two years in prison to
continuing on the whaler They are,
however, still in the jeanette.
Captain Newth reports that hundreds
OF natives at Herschel island and in
that vicinity have succumbed to the
grip, which threatens to depopulate
the Arctic regions. The Esquimaux
are entirely helpless in combating the
disease. A child of Mr.. Springer, an
American missionary stationed on
Herschel island. died Of the disease
during the summer.
The jeanette brought to port $500
pounds of bone, $50 fox skins and 10
bear skins. Joseph Sanders, one OF the
sailors, was very Ill upon arrival here,
suffering from the effects of an old
and was removed to the Marine
Hospital. On October IL the jeanette
spoke the steamer Thrasher with five
whales, and on the 10th, in Behring
straits, saw the Belvedere and Bow
head, both headed for home. The Kar-
LUX was following the Jeanette, and is
to arrive today.

SIDE OF THE
LABOR UNIONS
How Concessions TO Them Might
Help Planters in
Congress.

Editor Advertiser / have noticed
in your paper considerable regarding
the labor question in these Islands and
of this proposed bill to be placed be-
fore Congress for an enactment, to al
low Chinese to enter this port for the
purpose Of doing field labor on planta-
tions. 1t seems that from all that has
been said 1t becomes necessary for this
to be done in order that the planta-
lions may have a full working force
in the fields From existing facts, that
would be unnecessary for me to men,
ton here, all has been said so far for
the sole benefit and furtherance of the
plantation interests. But where does
the experienced mechanic get off? OF
course he will be benefited by increase
in labor from large crops-this to a GER
tain extent. I might say a limit.
In dealing with this question the
planters and all concerned must take
into consideration the labor organiza-
tons in the States, for 1t is those peo-
pie that make up the largest part of
our country and they are made up prin-
cipally with skilled labor and hence
there are concessions to be granted
1t was through the efforts of the
unions Of labor that the exclusion act
was put into force.
On the plantation today one will find
Orientals running engines. boiling sug-
ar. working at the lathe and vises,
blacksmiths and carpenters, not only
depriving the white mechanic of such
portions but also the native Hawaiian
who are good, blacksmiths and car
penters could dwell on this subject
at some length but at this time 1 only
wish to point out to those concerned,
that If they wish to work to the good
of their interests and the Islands, they
will make some concession to the ex-
perienced mechanic by employing them
In the places where 1t requires a COM
petent man. 1t is my belief that with
an agreement to only employ white or
native men where skilled mechanics are
needed IL would prove satisfactory to
all concerned, for skilled mechanic
will pay in the long run every time.
The Territory would also be benefited,
inasmuch as 1t would encourage men
with their families to come here and
perhaps IL would help politically, with
the interests OF these Islands in view.

FISHERIES
ARE FREE
Can Be No Private
Sea Fishing
Rights.

The fisheries of the Hawaiian Islands
became public property by a decision
of the Supreme Court on Saturday
which wiped out all fishing rights ex-
cepting those upon private property.
Some twenty-five suits to establish
fishery rights which were brought
against the Territory under the pro-
visions of the Organic Act will now be
thrown out of court by reason of the
decision, and the fisheries so claimed
will escheat to the United States fer
the use of her citizens. Further con-
domination proceedings will be neces-
sary to obtain these fisheries in view
of the decision of the Supreme Court
In the case of S. M. Damon VS.. Terri
tory of Hawaii and ]. o. Carter ct al,
Trustees of the Bishop Estate vs.. Ter
ritory OF Hawaii.
The Supreme Court hold that the Ha-
waiian statutes giving konohikis in the
sea fisheries were not grants of prop
erty but We're public statutes in which
no one could acquire a vested right
and that when repealed by the Organic
Act no one had any private property
in such fishery" 1t is also held that
exclusive rights in a sea fishery cur
THESE ne
acquired by ancient custom, nor that a
Royal Patent could convey a right to
the fishery.
The decision is written by Justice
Ga'braith. who with Judges De Bolt
and Robinson heard the case, Frear and
Perry being disqualified.
Judge Galbraith goes at length into
the history of the fishery laws of the
Islands showing where at first the king
had an interest in the fisheries ard
that this was abandoned when it was
found that the business was not prof
table to the government. Thereafter
the fishing rights were granted to the
people and the court holds that there
could be no private right through an
cient custom.
A number Of Hawaiian Supreme
Court decisions are quoted as showing
that the fisheries should not be includ-
ed as an appurtenance to the land or
by a royal grant. The opinion COZ
cludes Under the common law the
right of fishing in the open sea like
that of navigation was a public right.
The grant Of an exclusive right to a
sea fishery cannot be presumed. Every
ambiguity or doubt in the instrument
by which the right is claimed to be
granted will be construed most strong
ly against the grantee"
