American citizenship, it follows that in
the rising generation in the Hawaiian
schools by far the greater proportion
of those destined to be voters are of
japanese and Chinese birth. AS there
were 5000 native-born Asiatics in Ha-
wall, according to the census of 1900,
it follows that about 5000 of them with
in a few years will have voice in the
elections and will have political power
in the government. In this fact there
would be no cause for apprehension if
the schools and the surroundings in
Hawaii could be depended upon to
Americanize the younger generation of
Asiatics. But there may be consider
able doubt as to the future in precisely
that particular. 1t is certain that the
drift now seems to be toward Oriental
izing rather than Americanizing the
Islands owing to the absence of irnmf-
grafton from the United States, while
the stream of newcomers from the op-
posite direction never ceases its flow.

the Governor of the Territory over to
it's view.
In presenting these facts one need
not be moved by prejudice against
Asiatic immigration nor against the
Asiatics themselves. 1t is impossible,
however, not to be impressed by the
complete failure of the glowing prophe-
cies made a, few years ago concerning
the anticipated supremacy of the white
race in the Hawaiian Islands. Supreme
they are in a governing and capitalistic
sense, but the whites year by year
seem to be losing ground in other ways.
We are being confronted by the fact
that Nature really works for the pre-
dominance in those islands of Oriental
races and that if the political DISPOSE
ton of the archipelago We're to be de-
termined by the relative racial aptitude
and preference for life there Hawaii
would be japanese long before it would
be American. In the twentieth century
this fact may have a bearing upon the
relations between Japan and America
in the affairs of the Pacific.-Spring-
field Republican.

ORIENTAL ASCENDANCY
IN HAWAII DISCUSSED

The sugar planters were definitely
accused by the Merchants Association
with having inundated the Islands with
Orientals for the sake of cheap field
labor.
There has been introduced here the
merchants declare, twice as many
Asiatic laborers as have been necessary
for the working of the plantations" 1t
is also asserted that this has resulted
in competition disa strous to all but i'm
mediate sugar interests, and that, con-
sequently, the surplus labor, which
numbers in the neighborhood of $4,000,
is engaged in professional, mechanical
and mercantile pursuits The ques
tions involved are thus seen to embrace
the broad one .'as to who shall popu-
late and control these Islands in the
future?' For the total population In
1900 was only $4,000, of whom some
$1,000 were japanese and Chinese.
The rapid increase of the japanese in
Hawaii since annexation deserves atten-
ton. In 1897 there were "a, 407 Japanese
in the Islands, and ii may be added
that there We're ISIS Chinese With
annexation, the Chinese exclusion law
of the United States went into operas

to enter. In three years. that is. in
| 1900, the Japanese had increased to
. 81 ,115, while the Chinese had increased
slightly. to 25.762. While the japanese
! have not gained markedly the past two

in from the United States. To show
the present shifting of the various eIe-
ments in the population the Merchants
association have compiled some stats
tics based on school enrolment. The
notable facts are that in the past foul
years the number of japanese children

HOLDS OUT
FALSE HOPES
Letter Calling for Com.
petitive Examination
for West Point.

The letter following, written by Del
competitive examination called by him
for boys DESTROYS of entering West
Point and Annapolis:
House of Representatives, Washington,
January II, 1905.
Alatau T. Atkinson, Esq, Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction:
Nv Dear Mr., Atkinson: Replying
to your favor of December "a, / find
upon investigation that our prelimi-
nary examinations for the West Point
cadetship should properly have been
held last summer.
/ have, however, secured from Gen.
Ainsworth, the military secretary, con-
sent to have special examination held
at Honolulu on May l, which will both
enable us to go ahead with your pres
emit plan of preliminary examinations,
and VIII also save the necessity of
having nv nominee and two alternates
come to the mainland to take any part
of their examinations.
1t will therefore be satisfactory for
you to proceed with the competitive
examinations throughout the Territory,
having them ready, If possible, to mail
the results to me on February ID, or
at least on February 21.
Z shall also have the nominating of
another cadet for the Naval Academy
at Annapolis this spring, and | request
that If possible the competitive en-
animation for this position be held at
the same time and place as those for
the miiitary nomination. The official
examination of the candidate and the
two alternates whom / shall name for
the Nava4 Academy, will be held IN
Honolulu on April Is.
In addition to the name and grade
of each competitor, there should be
given also his age, weight and height.
If any boy desires to be considered for
the Naval Academy, in case he does
not win first place for West Point, or
vice versa, let him clearly state that
in a note to accompany the data in
his case.
The results of the competitive exam
nation for the Naval Academy should
also be mailed to me if possible at the
same time as those for West Point.
Copies of the general regulations for
examination and entrance to both
academies are mailed you under sepa-
rate cover, and it would seem desir-
able that a summary of their general
conditions should be published IN the
Island papers.
Thanking you for your kindness in
arranging this competitive examina-
tion, am
Very truly yours,
(Signed) KALANIANAOLE,
Delegate to Congress.
1t will be seen that the clear infer
ence from this was that the lad who
passed the best examination would get
the prize Why, otherwise, should
there be a competitive examination
No boy would waste his time in prep
aration merely for the mental disci-
pline of undergoing difficult examlna-
tion. He could use it TO more advan-
tage in getting ready for something
that held out substantial hope of fu-
ture preferment.

The appeal of Gov Carter of Hawaii
for the admission of more Chinese la
borers into the Hawaiian islands was
followed within a few weeks by the
publication in Honolulu papers of some
interesting correspondence between the
and the Hawaiian Sugar Planters AS
sociation. The correspondence cast
new light upon Gov. Carriers appeal to
Congress, and il also furnishes one
with valuable information concerning
the present developments in the char
acter of the population of the islands.
In so far as the student of Pacific prob
lens considers the future, when the
Russo japanese war shall be ended and
Japan shall enter upon her subsequent
career as a great Pacific power, the
Hawaiian situation must interest him.
The Merchants Association of Homo
lulu, desiring cheaper freight and pas
senger rates between Hawaii and San
Francisco, sought to interest the Sugar
Planters Association in the scheme for
better transportation facilities. The
sugar planters proved lukewarm,
whereupon the Merchants Association,
under date of November last, arraign>
ed them as being Indifferent to the
question of white immigration and in
general. of white predominance in the
Islands. The Sugar Planters Associa-
ton officially disclaimed any such feel
ing, but it left the question raised by
the Merchants Association without
meeting the wishes of the merchants
and without revealing the slightest
faith in the cause of white supremacy
| in so far as it could be based on the
| factors of business and numbers. Pc
rusal of the correspondence, after not
| ing Governor Carriers appeal in his last
annual report for more Chinese imml-
| grafton. must convince anyone that the
| sugar planting interest, which managed
| the campaign for the annexation of the
| Islands to the United States, is now
| thoroughly reconciled to- the Oriental
! izing OF the archipelago; and, what is
of more significance, it is evident that
Orientals. especially Japanese, are rap.
idly gaining an overwhelming numeri-
cal ascendency. How easily this nu.
mericaI ascendency may develop into {
local political ascendency is also made
! clear.

of a freight train at Grove Hill,
Va, station about three miles
south of Ingham. Va.
When IL was ascertained that he
was in the place a crowd of white
men and boys drove him away.
He was pursued by them and reach
ed Ingham, being again hunted and
pursued by the white residents.
To escape, in his desperation, he at
tempted to cross the river on the
dam and when near the middle was
washed into the swiftly moving cur
rent. the river being about fifteen
feet at this point. He was drown
ed, and his body has not as yet been
recovered. 1t is said that he was
bounded in this manner because of
an unwritten law that no colored
or pass through that neighborhood.
1t is evident that some action
should be taken in order that it
may be known whether such out
practices shall prevail. Sheriff
Sedwick, Coroner Hudson andCom-
monwealth Attorney Keyser are
said to be investigating the matter.
They owe it to the people of this
state as a duty that the guilty parties
be arraigned in a court of law and an
effort made to mete the punishment
commensurate with the crime COM
mitted. 1t is just such occurren-
ces as these that give the Southland
such a bad name and cause the av-
erage immigrant to shun the section
with an alacrity like that born of a
fear of smallpox or yellow fever. No
arrests have been made, but we see
no reason why there should not
be. The parties to the crime are
evidently known by white inhabi-
tants there within a radius of five
miles. This is a revised form of
lynching and it must go.

ELEVEN PERSONS
CRUSHED TO DEATH
Church Floor Collapsed While Crowd.
ed to Hold Funeral Services.
OVER FIFTY OTHERS INJURED

New York, Feb. %. - Eleven per-
sons were killed and upwards of so
injured. some probably fatally, by the
collapse OF the flooring of the Fleet
street African Methodist Episcopal
Church, in Brooklyn. OF those killed.
eight were women, two men and one
child.
The building was an ancient. ram
shackle frame structure, erected go
years ago, in the heart of the colored
section of Brooklyn in Fleet street
near Myrtle avenue.
Arrangements had been made to
hold funeral services over Sydney
Painter. one of the oldest members Of
the church, and the auditorium, which
is on the second floor of the building.
the ground floor being used by the
Sunday school, was crowded with an
audience of upwards of 800 persons.
of whom the majority were women.
The congregation was waiting in ST.
lence for the arrival of the body, and
Pastor Jacobs was standing at the
altar awaiting the summons to meet
the funeral procession at the door.
when sharp cracking of timbers was
heard, and in an instant the half of
the auditorium nearest the door col
lapsed, carrying down more than 100
persons, who were crushed in the
wreckage of the flooring and pews. A
great volume OF dust for a few mo-
ments hid from view the victims. The
remainder of the audience, finding
f.,,f 80 Z,
expecting every instant that the rest
of the flooring would collapse under
them, fought madly to reach the win
dows, and in some instances leaped
from them and sustained serious in
juries.
On the arrival Of the police and fire
men the work of rescue began. Those
remaining uninjured on the portion of
, the floor remaining intact were taken
from the windows by ladders. Those
lying in the mass OF wreckage on the
lower floor could only be got at after
the firemen had hewed their way TO
them with axes. Out OF the wreck 10
bodies were recovered and taken to a
station house and about 80 were re.
moved to the Brooklyn hospital. where
three women died soon after being ad
mitted. All the ambulances in Brook
lyn were called out, and about a score
of those hurt were able to go home
| after their injuries had been at
tended TO.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
| in the station house, which was
| thronged with relatives and friends
who came TO identify the dead.
The cause of the collapse was the
decayed condition of the beams and
| supports OF the fioorins.
Coroner Flaherty said that the
church was condemned as unsafe sew
5rai years ago. shd that he interdef
! TO prosecute a thorough inquiry to fix
the responsibility for the disaster.
According to Pastor Jacobs. money
had been raised for a new church, the
| erection of which was soon to have
been begun
