HILL TAKING IN
STEAMER LINES

TACOMA, Wash, April 29.-Practi-
cally all of the steamer lines on Puget
Sound are now owned by two large
companies, both of which are allied
with James j. Hills railroad interests
These corporations are the Pacific Coast
Company, which for two years has
been gradually absorbing a number of
the most important steamship lines,
and the Puget Sound Navigation Com
pany, whose chief owners are related
to the Hill family by marriage. The
latter company has just purchased the
steamers of the Bellingham Bay Trans
portation Company, which for years
past has endeavored to maintain COM
peting lines between Seattle and Bel
bingham. Two months ago the company
went into a receivers hands. Yester-
day the Puget Sound Navigation Com
pany bought all its property, including
the steamers Bellingham and Dode,
from Receiver Donovan at Bellngham.

The yachts will depart On Sunday,
either at 10 a. m. or p. m. for Kane

upon the wind.
1t is proposed, to stay at Kaneohe
that night, and start for Honolulu on

While cruising at night all yachts

1t has been decided that the captains
of yachts and the crews will appear at
the Haleiwa Hotel luau and dance fol-

being made to wear formal evening
dress. The yachtsmen and friends will
be seated at one table by themselves.
The yachts will be decorated with

GIANT CABLE STRAND ON
SCOTIA IS IN JEOPARDY

formal application from the CONNER
clal Pacific Gable Company to lay
cable from Guam to Japan, but that the
government had been appealed to in
tentative way by representatives of the
company so as to ascertain how the
United States would view such an appli-
cation IL IL should be made. No decision
had been reached. although. in the light
OF present information there. disposition
is manifest to regard such a request as
reasonable and proper. 1t IL considered
that the laying of the cable would be
purely a commercial transaction, and
that to grant permission for the landing
of the cable at Guam would not violate
the position of neutrality which the
United States has assumed in respect
ito the Russo-J Japanese conflict AS
heretofore indicated. If the permission
should be granted. it is likely that the
use of the cable. at least while the war
is in progress. might be brought about
by certain conditions, but even as TO
that point no definite decision has been
reached. 1t is said at the War Depart
ment that this Is the only outlet pos
sible for Japan under present eonces-
sions The Great Northern is the only
company which has cables running into
Japan, and that is Danish company
under Russian control, it being the land
line along the Siberian railway to the
Asiatic coast. Russia has made no pro-
test to the American government
against the granting of permission to
! land the cable at Guam. 1t is assumed
! by officials at Washington that if a
protest is made it will be filed through
| the regular diplomatic channels. What
action the United States would take in
| that event cannot be foretold, az it
would depend entirely on the ciroum-
stances of the case.-Manils Cablenews.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-05-24

II is understood that the giant cable
which the Commercial Pacific Gable
Company proposed to lay from Guam
to Japan is on the Scotia, the ship OF
the Gable Maintenance Company, which
was wrecked ON the island of Guam
some weeks ago as announced by cable
in this paper at the time. The Scotia
had in her specially constructed tanks
the costly strand to unite the island
belonging to the United States and the
territory of the Mikado. and her move
ments were attracting special interest
as it was said that the Russian gov
eminent would protest against the lay
ing of such cable. in time of war.
The Scotia was under the American
flag, having obtained a registry while
at Hongkong not long ago. She is of
unusual draught and went ashore in
the Gaspar straits some months ago.
When she stranded at Guam, the Patrol
was dispatched to her assistance from
Singapore. When the Patrol got to
Guam the Scotia was lying at an angle
of SO degrees on the reef, with heavy
seas breaking over her and every in
dcation that she would go to pieces.
The crew were all ashore. and. the
Patrol was hoping for good weather to
salve the cable. More than six weeks
ago a dispatch from st. Petersburg said
that a proclamation had been issued by
the Car which would make contraband
of war a cable laid during the existence
of the war from foreign to japanese
territory.
1t is now learned that the United
States government has not received any

SEAMAN Is
GIVEN DAMAGES

SEATTLE, May 6.-Patrick Woods,
u seaman, who was badly injured
while working on board the steamship
Tampico last January, recovered $1,000
damages from the Globe Navigation
company, as owner of that vessel, in
the superior court this morning.
Woods was hurt while attempting to
furl sail in storm. The company,
in its answer to his complaint, stated
that the accident was due, not to the
carelessness of the men in charge of
the craft, as alleged, but ito the ele-
ments and the act of God" The jury
which heard. the case felt, however,
that Woods was entitled to recon-
pense for his injuries.
Woods sued for $4,000. The accident
occurred while the Tampico was en-
route to Honolulu.

JAPANESE
HIT HARD
The High Price Of Rice
Sickens Them of
Hawaii.

on the steamer Siberia arrived on the
Goth of this month among other freight
for Honolulu there are 81 1853 bags of
rice. If it is a cleaned rice weighing
100 pounds each it will pay in landing
at 81 a bag. s124,326 in gold duty to
the Federal Government. This is only
for fraction of a cargo on a single
ship. Rice being a staple food for the
Japanese and Chinese, making up to-
gether about two-thirds of the popula-
ton of this country, a staple not pro-
duced in sufficient quantities on the Is
lands, it is obvious who Is going to pay
this part of our tribute to the Federal
Treasury. A bag of rice in Japan costs
$2.25. Here it is about So, more than
the double. AS japanese and Chinese la
borers, who are expected to perform on
the sugar plantations the same amount
of work as they do in Japan, must also
be expected to consume the same
amount of this staple food paying for
ii twice as much as in Japan their
purchasing capacity must necessarily
be the double of what it is in Japan,
and since it depends on wages alone, it
follows that their Hawaiian wages
ought to be the double of those in
Japan.
In Togashima coal mines, near Maya
saki, employing thousands of laborers
and providing them with free quarters,
the average daily wages before the war
of laborer, are so cents gold for ten
hours work, of which only eight hours
constitute the actual work in mines.
Here the wages on the plantation fields
are 651s cents, counting ST. IA month for
only twenty-siX days of work, and since
laborer has to sustain himself out of
the same SIT for four Sundays too, his
wages actually are but 50.7 cents a day.
viz, but seven-tenths of a cent Il day
more than in Japan.
The high cost of living on the Is
lands, about twenty-five per cent higher
than on the Coast, is one of the potent
causes of the Japanese emigration to
the American Continent. on that com
tinent they find the living cheaper
louisiana rice) and the wages higher.
If we add to this the larger field pre-
scented by the continent to a working
man, the chances of betterment of his
condition in other branches of industry
and skilled labor, chances that he utter
ly lacks here, being doomed for ever to
the work in the field, We will easily I'M
derstand why together with laborers of
other nationalities he regards Hawaii
only as a temporary station on the way
to the continent.-Hawaii Shinpo.
