you will give this matter, / am,
Yours respectfully,
]. KALANIANAOLE,
Delegate from Hawaii.
By Charles Clark
JUDGE AND COMMITTEEMAN.
It is understood here, as it probably
is now in Honolulu, that Gov. Carter
and Delegate Kalanianaole will meet in
San Francisco May 90 The governor
is coming to Washington and probably
the Delegate will accompany him. Dur
ing their visit they will agree upon en-
dorsemenfs for Judges and other ter
ritorial offices. 1t is said here by those
who are in a position to know that Ex-
Minister Hatch is practically settled up
on to succeed Judge Galbraith. One of
the interesting matters in connection
with the coming of the Hawaiian dele
gates is the selection of a National Com
mitteeman. The name of Clarence L.
Crabbe is mentioned here prominently
in that connection but it is not thought
that his election is by any means assured
THE SUGAR SITUATION.
United States Consul w r. Estes,
at Antigua, West Indies, has written
the following report here on the West
Indian Sugar crop.
f'It seems to be the general opinion
among the West Indian planters and
shippers that the present seasons sugar
crop will not go TO the United States.
They claim that the prices will be much
better in Canada and Great Britain than
in the United States. The reason for
this they attribute to the treaty with
Cuba / am, however, inclined to think
that the people of the British West In
dies will ship nearly as mitch of this as
of the last crop to the United States,
for only the increased crop raised in
Cuba, it seems TO me, can affect them,
as practically all of the Cuban crop has
been going to the United States before
the treaty. The people of these islands
are, however, mourning the loss of the
United States market and feeling very
despondent over the future outlook"
The production of beet sugar in Ire
land is the subject of an article from
the Nottingham, England, Guardian,
which United States Consul F. w. Ma
hin has forwarded here 1t reads in
part:
"An important scheme is being initial
ed for the establishment on a gigantic
scale, of a projected sugar industry in
the south of Ireland. Arrangements have
been made near Cork for the planting of
over 1000 acres of land with sugar beets.
Factories for the manufacture of raw
beet sugar will then be erected.
ireland has been selected for the
preliminary work. of the company about
to be established for the reason that
after long series of experiments beet
experts have decided that its climate
and soil are most suitable for the crop.
"The projected industry has only
been made possible bv the sugar boun-
les convention and the protective tariff
IF as. ed. per cwt. ($I.oI per liz
,ounds) for hitherto it was not possible
Tor the home manufacturer to make
profit in competition with the continental
manufacturer who received large boun-
y from his government.
"For the twelve months ended August,
oo7, the European beet crop is reported
o have produced $4,000 tons Of sugar;
IF this, I,557,ooo tons were imported
nto this country 1t is stated that now
he whole of this sugar can be profltably
crown in the United Kingdom"
