reunion and union of the two churches
We believe that the union OF Chris

OF God. the good OF mankind and the
strengthening of Christian testimony
at home and abroad.
We believe that the manifest devel-
opments in the two churches since
their separation. together with the
present conditions of agreement and
fellowship, have been. and are, such as
to Justify their reunion.
Therefore, we cordially recommend
to our respective general assemblies

cuhrch In the United States and the
Cumberland Presbyterian be accom-
complished as soon as the necessary
steps can be taken upon the basis here

Hon. w. G.. Irwin, in an interview
secured with him yesterday afternoon
by an Advertiser representative anent
the article of p. c. Jones upoi, An
nexation as a Commercial Success
takes issue with some of the arguments
used by Mr.. Jones, while agreeing with
some of the main points.
Il am" said Mr.. Irwin, ian annex
ationist. 1 believed that at the period
of our joining ourselves to America
we were drifting in doubtful fashion
and that the act of annexation was
that of casting anchor into a firm hold
ing ground, but 1 do not believe that
because We are annexed we should
cease to attempt to better conditions
which are possibly not correctly I'M
derstood or covered by national legis-
lation; neither do 1 believe that the
reciprocity treaty would necessarily
have been abrogated. The treaty was
I think extended us by the United States
as hold upon the islands. The Unit
ed States could not have afforded to let
us go and 1 do not think the failure
of annexation would have meant abro-
cation.
Il agree with Mr. Jones as to the
cause of depression in business,
through the subscription of blocks of
shares in new plantation which We're
and are not worth the money often
advanced upon them. The mortgaging
of property to meet assessments on
inflated stock has undoubtedly done
much to create present conditions.
Tourists and settlers are no doubt to
be encouraged and it is pleasant to
read Mr.. Jones' optimistic views on the
future.
Il take strong issue, however, on his
argument that no special privileges are
wanted. The reasons why we should
be allowed particular conditions to
suit our climate and circumstances are
to me very plain. While we are in
fact a Territory We are to all intents
and purposes a colony as compared
with the mainland and should be so

EVA JAPANESE
K|DNAP RANCHMEM

japanese fishermen, who have been
fishing on the leach and sea controlled
by the honolulu Ranch after having
been raided by Deputy Sheriff Jack
Fernandez, were tried at the Eva court
on Tuesday, sentence being suspended
for thirteen months, all pleading guilty.
News brought to town yesterday by
the Sheriff states that last Friday, some
days after the first raid. H. Nj. Won
Holt, superintendent of HONOLULU and
other o. r. & l., Co. ranches, with
Louis Warren, manager of the ranch,
and three employees, saw several
sampanS fishing on the forbidden
grounds and in a small boat started for
the poachers. The Japanese encircled
them and lashing them to a sampan
towed them for some hours at will. a
Chinese of the Won Holt crew escaped
and swan to the shore through whom
Mrs. Warren gave the alarm.
AS the police arrived on the scene
the Japanese released their captives,
but the officers awaited the Bleaching
of the sampans and arrested fifteen of
them who will be tried today on two
counts. violating the fishing laws and
assault and battery.
