PORTO RICANS IN HAWAII.
Importation of Them Does Not Meet with Favor Among the
 Natives.

In an evil hour the sugar planters of Hawaii imported number of Porto Ricans to labor in their cane fields The venture was an experiment says the Chicago Record-Herald. and was tried because of the troublesome conditions of the local labor market. The planters prefer Chinese to all other help, but the Chinese are barred by our exclusion act furthermore, the large immigration of Japanese unCer contract has stopped and the native HaWaiians are indolent and unreliable. Hence the expedient of introducing Porto Ricans as substitutes who might solve the labor problem.
 very short trial was sufficient. how ever. to convince the Hawaiian whites that mistake had been made Accord ing to their testimony the Porto Ricans are most undesirable lot, and latterly public hatred has been aroused against them on account of the murder of young man named Damon bv one of their number Damon belonged to one of the prominent old white families of the islands and was so widely known that the crime east a gloom over the whole community. This was the more natural because it was unprovoked Damon had merely cautioned the Porto Riean against removing danger lamp from the road when Ae was set upon and killed
 It is said now that the Porto Rieans are generally shunned and that no one Will give them work. This lack of en- ployment is driving even industrious men to crime and women to shame" Manifestly the planters who were re- sponsible for bringing these people to Hawaii should feel the responsibility Tor their presence and endeavor by some means to secure their return to Porto Rico

FIlIPlNOS LIKE NEW MONEY,
Currency Formerly in Circulation in the Islands Gives Place to
 American Cash

Following the recent legislation Of congress providing for currency sys- tenn for the Philippine islands. the Phil ipptnes commission passed an act to dis courage the further use of the currency formerly in circulation on the islands and designed to give the gold standard full force and effect, states the New York Sun. The following cable message from the civil governor Of the Philippines to the secretary of war will show the ef- feet of this legislation:
 The approach of October 1, when the first currency taxing provisions became effective. caused large export of Mex ican pesos commercially. and large in- flow of Spanish-FiIipino coin in the treasury.
 Tn September ,197 800 Mexican pesos were exported ana 530. 622 Spanish-Fil- ipino pesos came into the treasury and were withdrawn from circulation. Dur ing September tie actual circulation of the new currency Increased S9l 900 pesos. In October to date 1 .6S2 ,995 pesos Mexican currency have been exported commercially and 950000 Spanish ipino by the insular government for re- coinage. Have on hand nearly 500 900 Spanlsh-Filipino pesos for recoin age. The increase of the actual cir cuiation of the new coins for October was approximately 1,300,000 pesos.
 Every bank in Manila published no- tices refusing the old currency on de- posit after September 30. Railroads re- ceiyed no old currency at any price. Nearly all the accounts of banks throughout the islands have been re- opened in the new currency. Banking business has called in its old notes and issued new ones based upon the new currency All new contracts are being made with the new currency.
 Business throughout the archipelago is conducted now mainly on the new basis. Banks and large dealers are CO., operating with the government. Little old currency is left, and existing taxing provisions will eliminate that by Jan uary l next. The gold standard is an es- tablished fact and now meets the ap- proval of the entire public. Business con- ditions have much improved
