The meeting tomorrow night will be

the distinction, holding that the COM

HEINRICH IS QUOTED
AS SAYING
Things Of HAWAII

Tacoma. wash, May Estate Sen
ator Andrew Heinrich. just returned
from Honolulu, declares that trade con-
ditions in Hawaii are very much de-
pressed. and unless the Government
soon permits the use Of contract labor
the sugar industry will die out. Briefly
stated Heinrich believes that the Ha-
waiian islands will never become pros
porous unless the Federal Government
either grants them some form Of colon
ial government calculated to raise rev.
enue or permits the use of contract
labor for cultivation of their chief ag-
Iricultural product. Heinrich found con-
ditions at Honolulu anything but he'll
thy and declares the outlook is eX-
tremely gloomy for commercial inter-
ests there unless some way can be
speedily devised to enable the big sugar
plantations to secure at fair prices with
which to harvest and manufacture the
raw product.
Not only has Hawaii been deprived
of an annual revenue of more than a
million and a half dollars by the loss
Of custom duties, but plantations are
now confronted by crisis in the labor
market which has nearly bankrupted
every planter over there. Heinrich was
told that only one plantation is now a
paying investment. that one declaring
a dividend Of 6 per cent last season.

(OpIC FROM Orient

The Occidental and Oriental steam
ship Coptic arrived from the Orient
this morning. She was locked at the
Hackfeld wharf at about $3.50 o'clock.

leaving Yokohama May %. On May "a
the Coptic sighted the new Pacific Mail
liner Mongolia at about o'clock In
the morning. The two steamships
passed each other at quite a distance.
The officers Of the Coptic are quite cur
ious to know what the Mongolia really
Is like. They take especial interest
in her on account of the fact that Cap
,ain Kinder and Purser Rennie OF the
Mongolia formerly filled these same
positions on board the Coptic.
The Coptic carries an unusually large
list Of cabin passengers, no less than
seventy-seven altogether. OF the pas
sengers three will lay over at Honolulu
while the others will continue their
voyage to the mainland in the Coptic.
Among the lay-over passengers is
viscount T. Tori, prominent diplo-
mat and member Of the japanese par
Lament. He is being entertained at
the japanese consulate here. Viscount
Tori visited Honolulu eleven years
