THE COMMITTEE.

The Senatorial Subcommittee, hav-
ing completed its work, as far as gath
ering opinions is concerned has now
returned to the Mainland. The hard
work of the Committee has yet to
come. It was hard enough to sit and
listen to the statements made by many
witnesses and still harder to cross
examine so as to probe the truth of
the statements made, but it win be
harder yet to read over and collate the
mass of matter. which has been gath
cred. ...' .....
Senator Burton has to face a cam
paign when he arrives at his home
state which will occupy his time very
thoroughly. Senators Foster and Nit
chell have also some state work to do
before they go to the Capitol, though
their labors will be less strenuous and
hard than those of Senator Burton. 1t
must be said for the Senators that
their vacation time has been busy
one and has really given them very
little rest.
The plan upon which the investiga-
ton was carried out was to give every
one who cared for it an opportunity to
air his grievance if he had one, or to
supply information if so disposed. The
plan had its advantages and it's dis
advantages. 1T is a good thing for
people. who have grievances, to state
them. AS long as they are kept bottled
up or as long as the owner of the
grievance can fall back upon innuendo,
and the Il would an if 1 could" air,
there is ever the unknown possibility
to suspect, but let the grievance be
formulated and those who are investi-
eating learn upon what basis the
grievance is founded This was the
case with the Committee.

and the happiness of the afflicted Ha-
waiians. Under what conditions De-
legate Wilcox wishes to put his sick
fellow countrymen and countrywomen,
how he wishes them fed, how he desires
to break up their dearest relationships
while living and make an exhibit of
their bodies when dead, is now fully
seen. Let the Wilcox bill only go
through. and specimens" of Hawa ian

The Auditor business seems now to
hinge upon the question of salary. This
may bring the matter before the courts,
and if so the affair will probably be set
tied before the legislature meets If it
is not settled Mr.. Austin win have to
wait for vindicatipn of his character
for some months. With character at
stake one would think that the more
speedily he could get his answer before
the public the better for Mr.. Austin.

That there We're and are reasonable
grievances in Hawaii, no one can deny,
No system Of administration, which
man has yet formed, is perfect There
are serious grievances in the United
States and in Great Britain and her
colonies, two of the freest countries in
the world. But there are also fancied
grievances, and of these large crop
came up before the Senators. The
flimsiness of these was soon very APP
parent, but they had to be listened to,
and yards upon yards of mush were
reeled forth. In course of time the
mush producers will learn what they
have accomplished which will be nil.
This allowing of a mass of evidence
of this sort certainly was valuable, but
it took up much valuable time, and
Senator Foster, towards the end of the
time, began to doubt whether the Com
mittee had been wise to give a free
rein to all the cranks in the Territory,
of which another Senator said we had
more than our proper share But
though all this choked up the records
Of the Committee, it will be of advan-
tage to the Territory. ultimately. The
chaff will have to be separated from
the wheat and what is chaff will be
recognized as such.
The investigation is over Truths
have been stated venom has been snat
out, and we are left with the memory
of some interesting meetings, some
dull meetings, and the pleasant social
attributes of the Senator themselves.
They have made many friends during
their stay here, and should they ever
return either in official or private cap
acity they will find those friends ready
to welcome them with open arms.

it, when We were Independent we were
scheming for cable from any where
and owned by anyone, and now we are
to obtain one from the mainland.
The Anglia is the advance guard, as
it We're of the cable ships. She will be
viewed with the greatest interest by all
our citizens, especially those who have
waited so long for this event to take
place. If the Anglia is not the rose, she
has certainly the scent of the rose If
she is not our cable ship, her arrival
makes us realize fully that our cable
ship will soon materialize.
1t was a great event when the first
steamer entered our ports, and steam
forshadowed it's eventual victory. 1t
was a great event when the Oahu rail-
road laid it's first rail, it was a great
event when the first message went over
the local telephone, when we first had
electric cars, when we used our first
steam plough and so on, but ever one of
these fades into insignificance when we
see the arrival of the Anglia and rea-
lie that our cable is near at hand, and
that we, who have been so long isolated
are on the eve of entering the electric
bond of the nations and can daily hear
the pulse beat of the world. We seem
to take it calmly and philosophically
but the excitement will take possession
of our brains at last and in less than
a month we shall be in whirl of de-
light at the greatest event in our an
nails. 1t will be something to have lived
for to say Il read the first message that
comes across the floor of the Pacific to

INCREASE IN RATES

Notice Came to Raleigh by a Telegram From

Man Said Of The Movement.

This following telegram was received
here today by Secretary Cowper, OF the
Raleigh Board Of Underwriters. from At
ANITA, Ga:
The Executive Committee of the
Southeastern Tariff Association today
passed a resolution that q twenty-five
per cent. increase N rates be made on al
stocks Of merchandise without exception
anu on all frame store buildings; also
en- all manufacturing risks and other
special hazards, which have not been
rated under revised schedules within II
year. the same to take effect today and
continue until such risks are specifcal-
ly stated under revised and approved
schedules"

fed by the. Southeastern Tariff Aosocia-
ton Of this increase, as also the Stamp
ing Clerk At WILSON, with instructions
to enforce said. increase beginning to-
day.
While discussing this action Of the COM
panies with q prominent Underwater last
night. he said: Il am not surprised at
this increase in rates. 1t Is made efec-
tive covering the entire territory East
OF the Rocky Mountains. The companies
had TO increase rates or withdraw their
indemnity. There has been about sixty
companies TO retire from business in the
past two years, and in a great many
places there are not enough companies
to carry the values. During the year OF
1901, the underwriting loss was over
twenty millions Of dollars IN the United
States. or in other words. the companies
lost this much by their years operations.
Never in the history has the fire waste
been so great. and il IS thought that
electricity and gasoline contributed
largely to this increase. When the pub
He realize that the insurance rates are
basel or the fire waste, and they insist
upon building laws and other measures
thai reduce the losses, then they can hope
to get lower rates of increase. The in
crease is made TO apply TO the unprofta-
bic classes"
While the notice Of this increase in
rates ca me from the executive committee
OF the Southeastern TariG Association,
the movement is not by any means con-
fined to the companies belonging TO that
organization, but is 4 general one among
all the companies east Of the Rocky
