New York, Oct. 2I.---A synopsis Of the
situation in the Japanese army published
here. says the Petersburg correspondent o.
the FINES, shows that its weakest point Is
the cavalry arm, the development of which
has been hindcred by the lack Of horses
and the want Of suitable places for ex-
crcise.
The Russian cavalry is seven times more
numerous.
The japanese infantry is most favor
ably criticised. Its moral qualities arr
said TO be very high, although its physical
qualities are OH much lower level.
In warm countries, il is declared. the
Japanese iniantryman has displayed cx-
traordinary powers Of endurance, but he
would hardly be likely to show them in
a cold climate.

HAWAII NEEDS
MORE SCIENTISTS
CANE SUGAR HAS NOT HAD AS
SUGAR BEET RIVAL.

The monthly meeting of the Social
Science Association was held last even
ing at the residence of A. F. Judd on
Nuuanu street. DR.. j. NJ. Whitney
occupied the chair. The essayist was
j. p. Cooke.
Mr.. Cookies paper was entitled Beet
Sugar VS.. Cane Sugar" Some very
interesting information on the subject
of the culture of sugar by the two
methods was furnished. Mr.. Cooke
laid particular stress on the fact that
while the production of sugar had been
brought to much excellence in the Ha-
waiian Islands, there yet remained
much to be learned by the growers.
In this respect the beet sugar grow
ers of Europe were better off than the
raisers of sugar cane. The energies
of the the best scientists and chemists
of Europe were within call of the beet
sugar industry and that industry had
had the advantage of study on the part
of those people. On the other hand,
cane sugar was raised in sub-tropcal
climate where there We're few chemists
or scientists and the industry had not
therefore had the same advantage as
has it's rival.
Jared Smith and H. p Baldwin were
present as guests of the association.
Much interest was taken in Mr.. Cookies
paper. A general discussion followed.

into the country for the cheaper rents.
