Markham of Hunter x Markham. general agents for Eastern Arkansas for the Arkan. sas Live Stock Insurance Company, of Little Rock, Ark, have this day paid me in full for the loss of my horse died on the 26th of March-therefore l recommend them for any insurance they may take on any live stock.

sion from the Planters Association waSS
signed by W. G. Irwin who was a splen-
did type of the British gentlemeris and
for him to attempt to influence Arneri-s
can legislation was at least bad taste
He then read from the Congressional
Record telegram addressed to Senator
w. P. Frye urging reenactment of
Geary law, and signed among others by
Mr.. Irwin at San Francisco, which he
said would prove that he was a sort
of absentee landlord.
He then said Mr. F. NJ Swanzy is
today British Vice Consul, and that
fact was not disclosed to the Com
mission.
Senator Mitchell said that leaving the
matter of nationality aside what had
he to say in regard to the facts and the
recommendations. Humphreys said he
did not agree as to the facts, and he
thought it important that the Commits
sion see that these men were not in
terested in building up an American
citizenship here, but would simply make
their fortunes and then would retire to
their native lands and enjoy the fruits
of Oriental labor. He was compelled to
admit that the men named had been
here many years.
that ]. G.. Spencer who was secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce was now
occupying government property OF
great value al a rental of only $50 a
year.
/ He said as to Isenberg, who intro
/ duced the Chamber of Commerce reso-
luton, that he was promoter of the
McBryde planta ton, and he read from
his opinion as to McBryde bonds to
show cause for Mr.. Isenberg's feeling. (
He then filed his McBryde decision.
which was accepted as part of the case. a
He said the Merchants Association
is almost the same as the Chamber of
Commerce, and that the latter was or
ganized to assist in bolstering up prop
ositions at Washington
! He submitted a report OF the presi-
dent of the Board of immigration
showing that in 1890 that official said
the benefits from Oriental labor would
be temporary, and also read the history
of the exclusion movement of that time
! AS Judge Humphreys was reading
figures he quoted MacauIey as saying
that figures were hard mercenaries.
and Senator Mitchell said he had
doubtless heard that figures could be
made to lie. Humphreys had in his
hand government report and he way
ed it and said: when the arch liar
is figuring then we may use the result"
/ You may use the figures" said Sena-
tor Mitchell.

BUSINESS MEN TELL
Of ISLANDS NEEDS

! unaccustomed to il, there was never
any food furnished by the estates.
The statement that no effort was
made to secure white labor he said
was untrue, as shown by his statement.
He went over the experiments made by
| Eva, the white men at Lihue, Capt.
Makee's experiments and others and
/ w. o. Smith talked of the negroes used
) at spreckelsyille.
i As to the two instances of cruelty
alleged in reports, he said that these
were the only points round in many
years He said reports of cruelty were
not common.
He said the statement that the en-
ployees were subjece TO espionage and
brutality was untrue.
! The statement that large bodies of
Japanese were brought in in anticipa-
ton of annexation was false. There
was long statement as to the send
| ing back of some laborers who came
without compliance with the laws.
| AS to the reference to the condition
of the Porto Ricaus, he said it was
adroit, but in fact the condition of the
Porto Ricans was bad when they sailed
| from home and here they were treated
with every consideration and were con-
! siderabIy improved in health after they
I had become acclimated.
| He said the charge that white me-
I chanics were being forced out by Orien-
! tails was untrue, for the reason that
! there was not so much work now and
the men had gone back to the Coast.
He cited the Iron works and the Young
building as places where many mechan-
les had been discharged on account of
nothing for them to do.
! AS to the statement that there had
been only pretense of securing white
labor he said that the American did
not work with a pick and shovel He
said the average wage here was SIS a
month. He denied the charge of hold
/ ing back wages, saying it was case
| if one did not work he did not get pay.
Senator Burton asked if with the la
Dor door closed here and open in Cuba,
that would give an advantage there,
the witness it would. The Chamber
of Commerce promised to furnish full
data as to the cost of producing SUI
gar.
| Again Senator Burton wanted to
know if there was objection on the part
of the Hawaiians to Chinese, and was
told by several that there was not, and
Mr.. Irwin said that the Hawaiian pre-
ferred dock labor to the plantations.
