JAPAN SUSPENDS ALL HER LINES
OF STEAMERS IN FOREIGN TRADE
HONOLULU JAPANESE ON
THE WAR WITH RUSSIA

I don't believe the steamship companies
would refuse passage. They will go
as doctors, merchants and mechanics,
not as soldiers, and would not be con-
traband. When they reach Japan, if
they wish to join the army, they be-
come fighting machines, but until then
they are non-combatants and on the
same footing as any other nationality.
There will be no blockade of Japan,
Russia will be kep< too busy elsewhere.
There are a good many reserves
here, but even Consul Saito don't know
how many. The reserves may have
received orders already to be in readi-
ness to go to Japan; of course that
would be kept a secret. There are
plenty of them here though. Among
the Japanese arrested for conspiracy
by the Federal authorities two or three
have petitioned the consul to have their
time extended SO that they may go
back and fight Russia in the reserves.
Lots of japanese who are not in the
reserves Will go back to their own
country, for they are all patriotic.
War will be a great blow to Japan,
of that there is no doubt. Whether
we win or lose it will take seven or
eight years to recover from such war
as this is likely to be.
1.-The war will also be a great blow
to the chief industry of the Islands.
Now an average of three hundred Jap
anese go back every month, but they
are replaced by other men. In the
event of war the japanese will con-
tinue to go back in even greater num-
bers. and none will come to take their
places.
There is also likely to be food
famine among those who remain. No
rice will be shipped to Hawaii, no mat
ter how big crop there is in Japan,
and our people here will have to de-
pend upon the Hawaiian or the Louis
lana rice for their food supply. The
price ofrice will go up in case of war,
that is certain. Other japanese pro-
visions will also be exhausted"
Mr.. Takakuwa, a Japanese whole
sale merchant, said that he had given
no orders for large supplies as yet He
also believes that a. large number of
Japanese are likely to return to their
own country in case war is declared

A"Bimeby, maybe no Russia" was the
reply of japanese yardboy to a ques-
ton from his employer regarding tho
possibilities of war with Japan,s and
the apt remark, is also the sentiment of
the majority of the Japanese residents
of Honolulu. The prominent Japanese
residents of the Territory have not the
slightest doubt as to the ability of
Japan to best Russia in the conflict
which appears inevitable, although it
is admitted that the Emperor and his
subjects will not come unscathed from
the fight.
The grave possibility that Hawaii
would likely lose the major part of her
Iaborers was expressed by one promi-
nent Japanese yesterday, and he justi-
fed his conclusions by reasons which
seem plausible. The chance of food
famine, as to rice and provisions upon
which the japanese depend is also sug-
gested.
THE latest press dispatches seem to
indicate that there may be no war,
said Mr.. NJ. Kishi, manager of the
Yokohama Specie Bank. The Yoko-
hama Specie Bank will probably get
the first news of the declaration of war
if there is one, arrangements having
already been made with that end in
view. II don't believe there are many
Japanese reserves in the Islands. How
will they get back? I believe they can
go as regular passengers in the steam
ers running to Japan and can be landed
there without trouble.
"a blockade of japanese ports?
think Japan is amply able to protect
her commercial interests in Japanese
waters. Japan is believe negotiating
a loan in London now. This is a very
small branch of the Yokohama Specie
Bank, while the London branch does a
very large business, No loan would
be asked of US here. The Bank of
Japan will no doubt finance the govern
ment during the war"

Honolulu, T. H, Jan. Is, 1904.
To His Excellency Geo. r. Carter, Gov
ernor, Territory of Hawaii
Sir: In regard to the question refer
red to me, as to what course the gov
ernment should pursue in regard to ap-
preparations for the ensuing eighteen
months, in view of the decision by the
Supreme Court, declaring void Act 81 of
the Session Laws of 1908, commonly
known as the County Act, and in view
of the fact that the abolishing of coun-
ties threw back upon the Territorial
Government the entire burden of gov
erning the whole Territory of Hawaii,
as previous to the establishment of
counties, and, further, in view of the
fact that the appropriation bills for the
ensuing eighteen months, as passed by
the legislature in extra session, failed
to provide appropriations for carrying
on the Territorial Government, as it
was prior to the enactment of County
Law, and to provide for the necessary
current expenses and the meeting of
the legal obligations of such gov
ernment, l would reply as follows:
The Congress of the United States,
as evidenced by the Organic Act, un-
doubtedly intended that the Executive,
in carrying on the Government of the
Territory, should not be hampered by
a recalcitrant or neglectful Legislature,
or a legislature which might have
honestly intended to do what was right,
but through ignorance or error so act
ed, in passing appropriations, that the
Government would be forced to come
to a standstill for lack of appropria-
tions. Sec. 54 of our Organic Act pro-
yides:
That in case of failure of the legis-
1ature to pass appropriation bills pro-
