RUSSIAN ARMY

FOOD PLENTIFUL AND GOOD
OFFICERS FARE NO BETTER
THAN THE MEN.

Mukden, Dec. 31.-Nenlirovitch Dan
chenl0o, the famous Russian war cor
respondent, who has just returned from
an inspection Of the quarters occupied
by the Russian officers and privates at
the front SAYS:
"One could hardly imagine a greater
contrast than afforded by the hungry.
tired army that settled down here
after the battle of Lao Yang and the
army now resting south of Mukden.
The men livS&n 6ugouts, but most of
the officers huts are above ground.
Aside from the fact that there are
only five officers to a hut and that the
latter contain more decorations there
Is little difference between the mems
and the officers quarters. Every body
Is well fed and comfortable. The dug
outs are all shell proof and each has a
stove with sleeping lodges around the
sides. The men are provided with
bedding, warm underwear. mostly Of
Chinese manufacture, and better Chi
nese boots than can be bought in RUS
sia- Bath houses are provided. one for
the officers and one for the men of each
company. The water is heated twice
weekly. the separate laundry houses
are always supplied with not water and
there is no dampness in the buildings
set apart for the washing and drying
Of clothes or in the living quarters.
All Fare Alike.
THE officers and men PaFtake of the
same fare which is distributed twice
daily in big coppers from the camp
kitchens. A ration consists of a pound
of meat and two and half pounds of
bread, with tea twice daily. There are
short rations of sugar. but the only
shortages observable are sugar, leather,
sewing materials and reading matter.
Every one would appreciate books and
papers Every printed sheet is read,
even the advertisements. The postal
facilities are poor Most Of the officers
have not heard from European Russia
for a long time. Since the wires have
been reserved for military and press
use, private kilograms have all been
forwarded by mail from Irkutsk
There is little sickness owing to
the care taken with the drinking water.
There is a guard at each we'll Some
companies have been compelled to use
water from the Shakhe river. Water
parties go to the banks unarmed. There
IS a general truce protecting water
parties of both sides and much chaff
between Russians and Japanese Is eX-
changed across the river.
The temperature is 8 degrees below
zero (FahrenheiD, and is expected to
lie colder"

Committee of the Merchants Associa-

Gentlemen: Referring to your letter
of the 23rd of July, bearing on pas
senger rates between San Francisco
and Honolulu:
We have carefully considered your
suggestions, and viewing the Question
on all sides, and the difficulties in
volved we do not see our way at the
present time, to put in the reduced
rates you suggest for individuals.
We call your attention to the party
rate of s110 now in effect which is good
on any steamer of the lines now ply
ing between here and Honolulu, and
to return by any steamer.
II reduced rate were made by the
s. s. Alameda, 1t would not work out
satisfactorily for the reason that pas
sengers holding return reduced rate
passage orders would insist on return
ing by the larger steamers, and such
orders would not be accepted by the
Pacific Mail steamers.
We regret therefore, that it is not
feasible TO accede your suggestions at
the present time to make a differential
passage rate by the S. $. Alameda.
We remain,

this view.

Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 6, 1904.
Messrs. Rothwell, Lutted, Gonsalves,
Soper, Hooking and Smith, COM
mittee of Merchants Association
of Honolulu.
Gentlemen: The annual meeting Of
this association and other pressing
matters has rendered it Impossible to.
make earlier acknowledgement of your
commune alton of November End, to,
which reply is now made.
Very careful consideration has been.
given to your letter, in which it ap-
pears that you have wandered some--
what from the original proposition.
which was that the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association should guaran-
tee 1000 tons freight for each trip OF
special steamer to be run in the in
terests of tourist traffic between San
Francisco and Honolulu.
The Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
citation desire to make it clear to the
Merchants Association that, while it
is quite in sympathy with any project.
for introduction of tourists, 1t is en-
tirely out of its power to guarantee
freight to any vessel whatever, as it
is not trading organization and
neither imports nor exports any mer-
chandise whatever. If the Merchants
Association desires support for a spe-
cial steamer, it should ask it from the
Chamber of Commerce and from the
| ranks of its own members, where the
importers are to be found.
| The Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
| citation does not assert that it is a.
matter of indifference whether or no.
a proper ratio of white population is;
maintained here" and it does not take
| the position that such population is
| not requisite or necessary for the
maintenance of good order and govern
ment,' but it cannot see how any ef-
| fort apart from that it has already
made, can materially alter existing
conditions or cause any large influx
of white settlers.
1t is the policy of this association to-
have all positions of skilled labor on
the plantations filled, so far as possi-
BILE, by United States citizens or those
eligible for United States citizenship.

not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable 80
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest,
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
tion that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to-
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of

MERCHANTS AND PLANTERS
HAVE SPICY INTERCHANGE

Sirs: The undersigned. a special
committee of the Merchants Associa-
tion, ale ipstructed to solicit the CO.
operation and assistance of the Plant
ers' Association in behalf the mercan-
tile interests of this city, to the end
of obtaining lower and more equitable
passenger fares between this Territory
and the Pacific Coast. Conditions OF
trade in all lines point to the necessi-
ty of taking whatever steps may be
available towards the improvement of
business. and inducing increased con-
fdence throughout the community. The
Merchants Association are convinced
that one of the most important and
necessary measures to this end, and
that which will afford the speediest re-
lief is the adoption of methods that
will induce increase of travel between
this Territory and the mainland of the
United States.
II is submitted that the present
tariff for passenger rates between Ha-
wall and the Pacific Coast is both ar
bitrary and exorbitant as compared to
other points in trans Pacific travel. and
that such rates are largely prohibitory
to the volume of tourist travel that
might be enjoyed II more reasonable
fares were asked. AS a primary meth
cd, therefore, having as its object the
promotion of increased travel to Ha-
wall, the Merchants Association,
through this committee, solicit the ac-
tive cooperation and assistance of the
plantation interests in providing
sufficient amount of outgoing cargo to
enable and facilitate arrangements to
be made with the best available ves-
sci or vessels, either under contract or
/ by charter, providing for such salts
| factory passenger rate and service as
| NAV be determined upon as feasible
and proper. 1t is estimated that the
required amount of cargo to be guar
! anteed for such purpose would be
about two thousand tons per month,
! and this committee Is instructed to in
| uuire IL the Planters Association, In
behalf the several plantation interests.
will furnish such guarantee, and
| place the same at the disposal Of the
Merchants Association for the pur-
poses specified, 1t being understood
that such freight is to be carried at
the same rates as pertain 10 otner col-
current sugar cargoes.
1t is represented that, while such a
concession from the planting interests
would in itself be slight sacrifice on
ly, and one that appears to necessitate
merely slight readjustment of freight
carrying arrangements, a favorable
and generous response could not fai
to have a beneficial effect in tending
greatly to restore general confidence
aside from any material advantage
that would accrue to the community
as a whole.
/, Wherefore your kind consideration II
urged to the foregoing. and a favora
, BILE ard early reply solicited.

The financial condition Of any of our
plantations cannot be impaired by the
Introduction of new capital Those
who do not wish to sell their stocks,
need not do so. but there are many
would experience prompt relief. il they
could dispose of part of their present
holdings. The tourist proposal offers
many other advantages to you as we'll
as to us. and cannot lessen your inter-
ests or prospects.
Will the Planters Association mot
render to the community at large the
practical assistance we have asked?
We trust to receive more favorable
response, and ask your further consid-
GRAFTON of what we believe to be a.
fair and businesslike proposition.
As an alternative and in the event
that there may be insurmountable i'm
pediments to your contributing the ap-
proximate amount of freight asked,
may the Merchants Association rely
on your support and cooperation in
the effort to obtain a sufficient sub
sidy from the next legislature to effect
the purpose We have in view, namely.
the operating and local control of
steamship line between San Francisco
and Honolulu, under such conditions
as may be satisfactorily arranged.

F. J. Symmes, Esq. President San
Francisco Merchants Association,
San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir: 1t has been deemed ex-
pedient and desirable by the Mer-
chants Association of Honolulu to ad-
dress the Merchants Association of
San Francisco In connection with a
matter that 1t is believed will appeal
to the favorable consideration of your
very representative body.
The report of a special committee.
as adopted by our association, sets
forth in itself amply the lines upon
which II is sought to actively inter-
est our San Francisco friends. and we
therefore beg to enclose a copy Of such
report for your perusal and endorse
ment. to such extent as the interests
Of your community may seem to dictate.
San Francisco has for so long been
intimately connected in a commercial
sense. not only with Honolulu but with
the islands generally, that we have
naturally come to the conclusion tha'
in many channels our interests ar,
| mutual, and It is in order for you I,
correct us If we are in error. We feel
| however, that we may safely rely oi
your cooperation and assistance in I
| contention that must have adjustmen
sooner or later. and one that is fel
by us to be important for early deter
mination. Without, then. repeating
