TOURISTS DANCED
AT THE HOTELS

The Korea's passengers were enter
tanned last evening at the Royal Ha-
wafian and Alexander Young hotels
with dances arranged especially for
their benefit. The drizzie during the
evening kept away many of the towns
folk who would otherwise have attend
ed The visitors, however, enjoyed the
diversion.
Special dinners were served at all
the hotels, Manager Smith at the Ha-
Der of prettily decorated tables which
were taken by passengers from the Ko-
rea. A Hawaiian quintette club play
ed and sang throughout the dinner
and afterward played for dancing on
the Waikiki lanais. It was like old
times around the Hawaiian yesterday
There was a concert and dance in the
ball rooms and on the roof garden of
the Young Hotel Showers in the early
portion of the evening caused the con-
cert to be first given in the mauka
dancing pavilion. After the dancing
commenced the rain cleared away and
the roof garden was again used. The
Territorial band furnished the concert
and an Hawaiian quintette club the
music for the dancing. The pavilion
was filed until after midnight. AS the
dance was breaking up the visitors
from the steamship were 10th to leave.
They insisted on more of that Hawai-
ian music" and had members of the
quintette club singing solos in native
Hawaiian until a late hour. Then sew
eral merry parties adjourned to the cafe
for dainty suppers which made the hour
still later, SO that some of the visitors
found but little time to sleep between
the closing of the nights entertainment
and the time the steamer is scheduled
to sail this morning.

THE HAWAII OF COL. FITCH.

Hawaii as seen by the eyes of
this charming raconteur was a country
too strait laced, too narrow and mis-
sionary'' TO suit broad, generous ma
ture Col Fitch found the newcomer
persona non grata to the old timers,
and they We're evidently not of his
kind. Moreover, the Colonel felt COM
PEELED to disclose the fact as he saw
it, that it was the sugar planters who
had stolen Hawaii. and that they
would yet see the fate of Bermudans
and Jamaicans.
If our critic had taken himself Sc
riousIy here he would not have INDUCED
himself in such hadinage. No one
knows better than himself the truth
of the poets words, ,"coeluJn non
animum mutant qui trans more cur
rant Honolulu is cosmopolitan
enough to enable the new corners to
find almost anything he is looking for.
Gentle, kindly, hospitable ways are
here still, in spite of the hard
ness of human nature can also be
found. But the newcomer who ex-
poets to find himself pioneer in the
making of new community here will
would meet him in any eastern or mid
die western town of long established
ways of living. Time was when a
visitor In Hawaii was so rare bird,
did consider his entertainers, rather
than himself, as the recipients of fav-
ors. But it is many a year since the
social life of the group depended on
lessons in good form charitably offered
by the globe trotter.
As for the sugar planters of Hawaii,
they are far from being perfect; they
have made, and like every one else, :
win, make mistakes; but they are the +
men Nwho have made Hawaii what it :
is. But for their development of the !
sugar industry, the same conditions
would prevail here now which exist
in Samoa, Fiji and Tahiti
In the January days of 1898, when
the Queen tried to abrogate the consti-
tuition, and Americans in Honolulu re-
solved to take the chances of annexa-
ton, it was not the planters who took
the initiative. or who caused it to be
taken. That first step, with all its
consequences for good or i'll, the for
fner, as we believe, entirely outweigh
ing the latter, was not taken by them.
Most of them We're against it at first,
but, like practical men. they made the
best of situation which the majority
of them disiiked, and stood on the side
of law and order.
The history of the Hawaiian revolu-
ton as written by Blount, Richard
Davis and Thomas Fitch will,
like Sam WeHer's watch, have to be
reset several times before it will go.
But really Col. Fitch's portrayal of
Hawaii is written in the perfect style
Of which he is master, and therefore
perhaps we ought not to object to his
'acts-so much the worse for the facts.

caIdwsII c ward,s cotton Lettsr.

By H. S B. Beer.
 New Orleans, March 24.-Notwithstand= ing Liverpool was about as expected. our market opened points lower to points higher and subsequently sold off l4 to r points on realizing About this time a party who is we'll posted stated that the census buerau's estimate would be 99OO,0 GOO. As his information is general ly correct buying wave came In, fore Ing shorts to cover superinducing an ad- vance of 37 points from the bottom. Near the close room traders taking profits caused a recession of IS to 26 points from the top making the net gain ! points on old crop months whereas the new showed a loss of 8 to points.
 While spots were steady today there was not the snap apparent yesterday. The sales of only 5000 in Liverpool were also disappointing as the inference was that spinners were awaiting the outcome of the census report before entering n- to new engagements Adviees from New York stating that the chances were for a better settlement of Messrs. D. J. Sul- ly & Go. s affairs. coupled to the persist ent circulation that the census estimate would be about 9,900000 occasioned the improvement today. If both these fea- lures are realized values will be main- tained providing there is a continuance of a good demand, if the bureau, how ever, is 10000, 900 or under, the question arises Is it not discounted to a great ex- tent by the elimination of a large short interest? On the other hand if it should be 10,2000OO or over, the disappointment will be great.

cothran 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By c. w. Lee & Co.
 New York, March 24-The market ad- vanced just as might have been expected after the slump of yesterday and the day before The generally better feeling in all circles was shown before the close last night when July sold above 14c, and this morning July sold up to 144O. The ad- vance represented gain of about a cent from the low point of yesterday. As long as the local market was so much below Liverpool and all the southern markets the advance was only a question of tlme It might be other failures would come and this prevented the buying that would have otherwise taken place. We have every reason to believe that the assuran- ces of those in position to know are to be relied upon We do not believe there will be any trouble elsewhere What Is more we are confident the failure will prove less serious than was at first feared. That is that creditors will get a great deal more than many talked of and after all is said and done the cotton market will sell on its merits. If 1t is worth what we be- lieve it is it will sell higher. If not. lower No man or set of men can prevent this for long. Cotton is worth more than 1872 or 14c this spring. Liverpool has bought enough to keep mills running for some time. Every bale will be used. We would go slow but we would not desert the bull ship yet.

LOCAL MARKETS.

There was very little doing in the local markets yesterday and few changes were reported. Cotton held steady. There was nothing new in local circles.
 No changes in the quotations for stocks and bonds are noted.
 Staple groceries are quiet and steady.
 Along Morris avenue spring produce Is becoming a prominent feature. Large shipments of early vegetables are now coming in and fruit continues a factor of the market.
 It will soon be time for strawberries to come in in large shipments. The price has already been reduced to 15 and 25 cents per box and 1t is predicted that a heavy sale will begin when the Culman crop is put on the market.

 Futures opened steady, unchanged in line with the steady foreign markets and light primary receipts, but there did not seem to be any such demand as that noted yesterday, and soon after the opening the moderate offerings of importers who have recently been credited with very bearish statements regarding the situa- ton, caused a slighly easier tone and partial decline of points. Just before the close, however, there was good spurt in demand. thought to be partly due to short account, and the market closed firm, net to 10 points higher. Sales, 60,5OO bags.

Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Rail. road Company-"The New Way"

The undeveloped resources along the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail- road are perhaps superior to those of any other railroad in the south; the timber Is practically inexhaustible, consisting of the highest grades of long yellow leaf pine, short leaf pine and variety of hardwoods. The line also traverses one of the finest farming and agricultural sec tions to be found in the south. Cores pondence is solicited from those contem- plating the location of any kind of man ufacturing enterprise or who may be prospecting for superior field for the purpose of tilling the soil In addition to the merits of this section for the products of the soil which are staple, we would call especial attention to the peculiar ad- vantages which obtain in favor of fruit and vegetable raising. splendid transpor- tation facilities to the best markets at reasonable cost.

cothran & Co.'s Stock Letter.


 New York, March 24-An irregular stock market today resulted from profit taking in the railroad list, and the pulling of industrial specialties. This line of pro- eedure seems to be mapped out for the immediate future. The best information is to buy the standard railroads on reactions and to take hold of such stocks as Amal- gamated Copper, American Sugar, the steels, etc, for speciality improvement. There is gradually dawning upon Wall street the significance of events transpir- ing with regard to the western railway situation. A full realization will we be- lieve, establish community of interest idea in the minds of investors with em- phasis, and 1t can be interpreted in no other way than as being in favor of higher prices
 Harmony in financial circles is the first requisite to legitimate enhancement of values that may have bearing one upon another.
 The outlook Is for a traders market for a few days. Total sales, 603.5O0.

 Futures opened steady and from points higher to 12 lower. The trading was wholly of professional character. Small breaks and bulges occurred every few minutes, whenever small bunch of buy ing or selling orders was thrown on the market. As has been the case for some time, prominent bulls offered no support to the market, which was left to itself. The uncertainty over the census bureau report which will be issued at noon to- morrow, Washington time, has caused halt in the trading, as neither longs nor shorts cared to get in deeper until the report is issued. In the trading May first lost 5 points from yesterdays close at IA 05. advanced to IA .16 declined to 13 96 advanced to ii 15 declined to 140G ad- varced to 14.33 and finally declined to 14.1 IT.
