The first championship game OF
base ball in which our team partic-
ipated was played Wednesday after
noon, on Rogers Field, between the
State College boys and the boys
from Idaho. Old Jupiter Pluvius
took hand in the game at the 9th
inning, and put stop to the game
of the ball-tossers, but prior to that
time the game was coming in favor
of the State College, and when time
was called our college was declared
the winner by a score of S to o.
Capt Miller and Leonardy were
the opposing slab artists, and the
Wenatchee boy had decidedly the
better of the argument, as the noun
taineers were unable to locate him
for single scratch hit, while the
GARNER" hammered Cooley" at
will, touching him up for six hits in
five innings.
Miller's catching was up to his
usual high standard, and his throw
ing arm as true as ever, and steal
ing a dangerous pastime for the
gentlemen from our sister state.
Anderson and Sargent felded in
good form and ran bases as usual.

he had no chance to show his met
tie, his talk" was most reassuring.

serious loss and damage to this Ter
ritory and it's citizens.
1t is submitted that, with the ex-
ception of one vessel the Alameda
of the Oceanic line, plying between Ho-.
noluiu and San Francisco, all passen-'
ger travel between Honolulu and Pa
cific Coast ports is of necessity carried
by steamships running through to
points in China and Japan, or to the
Australian Colonies, no reservation be-
ing made for Honolulu passengers be-
yond what may be available on arrival
here en- route to the terminal ports.
For some time past these vessels have
been so crowded with through passen-
gers that it has been almost impossible
to obtain passage no matter how urgent
the occasion.
In view of anticipated additional
through travel to and from the st. Louis
Exposition during the coming months,
covering a period in which local travel
between Honolulu and San Francisco is
always largely increased, it is submit
ted that these conditions of congestion
are certain to be augmented, with the
result of serious consequences to the
people of this Territory, both from
sanitary and financial standpoints.
There are few individuals, or inva!ids,
whose immediate departure is neces-
sary, or ordered, who can afford to de-
post or who can by any means de-
post, the sum of $4,000 in addition to-
their fare, in order to go on Il foreign
vessel, and without this deposit it is
now impossible for the large majority
of Honolulu passengers to leave for
mainland points at a given or Wlthln
a reasonable period of time. 1t is need
less to assert that in nrGst cases such
a penalty is entirety prohibitive.
Heavy loss also accrues to the mer-
chants and retail dealers of this Ter
ritory from the fact that intending
tourists Will not stop over as soon as
they learn that no opportunity Of pro-
ceedfng on their journey is guaranteed,
particularly as all steamers that are
able to carry passengers without penal
ty are booked several months ahead.
Wherefore, while this Association
does not, and cannot ask, that the pro-
visions of the above section of the stat
ute be permanently waived or suspend
ed in any of it's requirements, we do
most respectfully ask and petition that
the peculiar conditions arising from
our isolated situation, and the conse-
quent difficulties of travel, be taken
into consideration, TO the end that II
possible a sufficient and adequate modl-
fication of the penalty of $4,000 be
made pending return to norman
status of travel, or until adequate facll-
tiles are forthcoming, in order TO admit
departure of those of our citizens whose
health or business demands their visit

steamers. this modification to remain in
force until such time as it is possible

WINGED that no white man would seek
employment in the cane fields, even if
the wages were double what they are
now.
He believed in the system of labor
employed during the days of the Pro-
visional Government and Republic.
The system of coolie or contract labor
placed the plantations on about the
same footing as those in the South and
in Cuba employing negro labor. Since
the abolition of the contract system
farm labor is almost as high as in the
States, absorbing practically the entire
income, and in some cases the planta-
lions were being operated at loss.
The islands should be treated as a
colony. England had, after years of
experience, come to the conclusion that
was the best way to manage it's pos

question arose as to exhibits of
corporations to be filed with the Treas
urer. There We're fifty-two firms which
had not complied with this law. 1t was
shown that outsiders frequently made
use of these exhibits much to the detri-
ment of the business of various firms.
In one case some one wanted to sell
to a certain firm here the corporation
exhibits of two other firms in the same
line of business.
The question of tax reductions came
up and it was finally decided to see the
Tax Assessor. Mr.. Wakefield and Mr.

tee to confer with Mr.. Holt.
LETTER TO CORTELYOU.
The following letter to Secretary Cor
telyou was read:
Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii,
June 3, 1904.
To the Honorable, The Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, Bureau of
Navigation, Washington. D. c.
Through E. r. Stackable, Esq, CoIIec-
tor of Customs, Honolulu, T. H
Sir: The undersigned, by direction of
the Merchants Association of Honolulu
Territory of Hawaii, and in it's behalf
desire to respectfully present for your
consideration the present serious con-
gestion of passenger accommodations
for travel between this Territory and
the mainland of the United States, and
to petition that such relief be granted
as may be admissible under the statute
governing passenger traffic between
ports of the United States in and during
periods of emergency.
Under Section 2, Act of February Il.

relating to Navigation which was put
into effect in this Territory on June II.

Hawaii. 1t is not yet clear to your
committee why passengers paying for
round trip tickets to San Francisco
should pay forty-seven per cent more
than otherwise. The committee has
also mentioned the particular steam
ship company, principally for the rea-
son that this report was based on their
schedule rates on which they are run
ming their local boat
Honolulu has supported local
steamship for more than twenty years,
reference being made to that OF the
Oceanic company. For a good many
years subsidy was paid by the Ha-
waiian government to the steamship
company to keep this boat running as
a local steamer. There is a subsidy
paid now by the United States govern
ment for this special service. The point
is that this particular steamer is rum
ming full of freight both ways all the
time, and for great deal of the time,
with passenger lists full. 1t is a proper
question for the merchants to ask why
they should pay forty-seven per cent
more than the rate to Tahiti and other
ports in the Pacific.
Your committee further recommends
that negotiations should be entered in
pany because they might be the first
to meet conditions. In former days
our profits were of much larger diplen-
sions than now, but the earnings have
been greatly cut down, and in reality
to the minimum. Steamship rates.
however. have been raised. The sug-
gestion is to negotiate through the
Oceanic company for reduced passenger
rates.
"A prerequisite to obtaining either a
new vessel or securing a definite con-
tract, would be some arrangement by
which we are enabled to get them re-
turn freight. There appears to be no
difficulty in getting freight down here.
The whole question involved is, now
shall we get them return freight. Two
or three vessels have endeavored to run
between here and Puget Sound ports,
but thy have always failed for want of
return freight.
APPEAL TO PLANTERS.
cit is proposed to your committee
that representations should be made to
the Planters Association to appropriate
a sufficient amount of their exports, or
say 1000 tons per month, to enable this
committee to negotiate with a company
or companies, to give them some GER
tainty of freight shipments. The
Oceanic company preferred if they will
meet conditions. Your committee be-
lieves that the Planters Associa ton
should see that it is fair for them to
render some slight assistance.
can appeal was once made to the
Planters, and the indication was that
they did not wish to participate in the
matter. The sense of their reply was
practically, We will attend to the SUI
gar business and you attend to your
own business

UP TO ELECTORATE.

''Your committee suggests also to
appeal to the electorate of the Ter
ritory. I wish to say that this Asso-
citation has no idea of going into poll
tics or to affiliate with any political
party, but in this matter there is only
one way to obtain relief and that is
through a subsidy sufficient to give us
a local boat or one that will be under
contract to carry passengers at a sat
isfactory rate. I suppose that it is fair
and proper to say that no man should
be elected to the Legislature unless he
will support a subsidy measure created
for the purpose we desire.
IF this is done there will be no ques-
ton about every one subscribing to this
fund. 1t should cover a rate for prop
erly advertising the Territory. There
is a good thing for the town if we can
once induce tourist travel this way.
1.-The suggestion is made to form a,
local company strong enough to pur-
chase its own vessel. It is a feasible
proposition

LOCAL STEAMERS HIT.

LOCAL STEAMERS HIT.
Mr.. Hooking called attention to the
local inter-island steamer service. 1.-The
local steamship companies should be
tackled especially on freight rates to
and from the other islands. People on
the other islands have spent good
deal of money in raising fruit and vege-
tables, but have been driven out of
business by the high freight rates.
1.-The local steamship companies have
driven more trade away from Honolulu
than anything else. They carry on a
business in an independent manner and
they don't seem to care whether they
take your freight or not. The Mer-
chants Association should take up this
matter. They don't care for anything
as long as they have sugar to carry.
On Kula, Maui, there was once quite
a colony of farmers raising potatoes
principally, but they have been driven
out of business. There were no facili-
ties for storing their shipments, no
wharves to work from and poor accom-
Ihodations for their wares on the steam
ers.'
Mr. McInerny moved that a commit
tee of six be appointed to carry out the
recommendations named in the Roth
well report. Mr.. RothweIl asked to be
left off the committee but owing to his
thorough knowledge of the subjects
contained in the report he was pre-
vailed upon to remain with the COM
mittee, which was named as follows:
J. G. Rothwen, chairman; A. Hook
ing, j. o. Lutted, ]. A. GonsaIves. E.

SENATOR HEMRICH'S LETTER.
The secretary read a letter written
by State Senator Heinrich of Washing
ton to the Hon. Levi Ankenny, Z. S.
Senator from Washington, calling at
tention to the needs of Hawaii. Sena-
tor Heinrich visited Honolulu several
months ago and was entertained by the
Merchants Association
He called attention to the depressed
state of business affairs in Hawaii.
He said the Provisional and Republic
governments had formerly enjoyed an
income of about 81, 500, 600 from Customs
duties and postoffice receipts, and al
though goods from the mainland came
in free there were still a large amount
Of goods from foreign countries on
which duties We're collected, which he
thought should be used for the main
tenance of the public works, weather
bureau, dredging ana maintenance OF
the harbors, agricultural stations and
public buildings. He thought that if
the Federal Government pursued it's
present policy towards the islands they
would be ruined, and he expressed a
hope that speedy measures would be
taken to relieve critical condition
This was not only to be said of the fl
nancial condition but of the labor state.
He said he of
plantations and he was positively con-
