Staple Was Piled on Docks at Seaport
In Japan.
Seattle, Wash, August 10.-When
the Kanagwa Maru left Kobe on her
last voyage to Seattle there were more
than eighty ships either at the docks
of that port or lying in the offing
awaiting their opportunity to dis
charge their cargo and for the most
part consisted of cotton. Shortly be-
before the departure of the Kanagwa,
a fire started in this vast amount of
cotton and before it could be extin-
guished had destroyed some 10000
bales.
Captain Wales states that the loss
was scarcely noticeable to the casual
observed, and that the space in which
the burned cotton has been was filled
with, almost Immediately, with other
bales which were discharged from the
other ships. The greater part of this
cotton is American product, although
a small proportion is from India.
Captain Vale states that a large
amount of cotton weaving machinery
is being installed in Japan and that
the manufacture of cotton fabrics is
rapidly becoming a great industry in
the land of the Mikado.

Necessary for New Trial.


Necessary for New Trial.
Rome, Ga, August 10.-After being
out on the case of Vincent T. San
ford, since last Friday morning the
jury announced that unanimous yer
dict was impossible.
Judge Wright then declared mis-
trial and the jury was dismissed with
the thanks of the court.
1t had been stated that it was the
wish OF Judge Wright that the jury
reach a verdict. He stated that it
was his belief that another jury would
be difficult to secure for the reason
that so many persons of the county
have heard all or a part of the testi-
mony in the present trial.
1t was also stated that Judge Wright
was of the opinion that a change OF
venue might be necessary for a sec.
ond trial.

With Presentation.

WiIh PRESERVATION.
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug 10.-In glo.
rious sun nshine, shortly after 9 o'clock
this fornoon, the peace plenipotenti-
aries of the warning nations of the
east set out for the navy yard to hold
their second session at which, accord
ing to general belief, Japan might be
expected to show her hand to her ad
versary. Upon the moderation or
stiffness of the terms will depend the
continuation Of the war in the Far
East.
In some we'll informed quarters,
however, doubt existed whetlN. the
Japanese would today lay their cards
on the table. For some reason the
impression existed that Baron Komu-
ra was sparring for little more time.
Indeed it had been vaguely intimated
that some minor preliminaries regard
ing procedure remained to be settled
and that the whole day possibly
might be consumed in decision upon
these details.
The Japanese ENJOYS gave not the
slightest hint of what was to be ex-
pected. With all the secrecy OBJ
served by Oyama in planning a for
ward movement Baron Komura and
his suite Lave prepared their diplo-
matte campaign here.
MIR White and biC cOlIaa o1Ioc ora II,
the dark. 'fhey can only wait and
watch for the decisive moment to ar
rive. 1t is known, however, that
they went to the meeting this morning
strongly inclined to believe that for
some reason their adversaries would
not reveal their position today AL
though intimatiOns have been thrown
out from japanese sources that when
the time arrived they would lay down
their terms and practically announce
that NJ. Witte must take or reject
would practically be decided at the
first clash, the Associated Press has
the strongest reason to believe that no
such summary tactics are to be pur.
sued. While it is undoubtedly to the
advantage of the Japanese plenipo-
tentiaries to reduce the chances for
diplomatic sparring over the basis of
the negotiations to the nearest possi-
Bile limits, there will still be some
room for give and take.

Pay Tribute to Dead Bishop.

New Orleans, August 10.-Although
the casket is completely closed allow
ing no exposure of the face, many
people today visited the ancient ST.
Louis cathedral where the body of
Archbishop Chappelle is lying in state
and in the crypt of which it will be
laid to rest on Saturday. When the
death of the archbishop was an
nounced, those having in charge the
funeral arrangements assumed that as
the cathedral is in the infected quar-
ter, it would be advisable to bury the
remains at once, postponing formal
memorial services until lated in the
year. Subsequently, however, Sur.
geon White, of the Marine Hospital
service, was called into consultation
and he gave his approval to a more
elaborate funeral, saying that there
was no danger at all of infection or
contagion from the body.

Of the small number of deaths, peo.

combined, and more are coming in. but
large number of the Japanese who
come To Hawaii do so in orOer 10 more
readily make titeir way into the United
States. Hawaii seems l.. be a stepping
stone, as 1t We're, to the United States.
1t seems 10 me some people in the la
waiian Islands are making a large sum
Of money out of this. The japanese
VINO come TO Hawaii seem to be the
worst kind OF japanese. and. as work
men they are unstable and unsatisfac-
tory. They are continually making
trouble on the plantations which en-
ploy them, and with constant strikes,
rioting and other troubles, the Japa-
nese workmen is far less satisfactory
than the Chinese.
U. S. SHIPPING LAWS UNsATIs-
FACTORY.
There are large number of sugar
plantations in Hawaii, but only one of
them refines its own sugar, a plantation
at Honolulu. The other plantations
ship the raw material, a good deal of
which goes to San Francisco and to
Delaware. Before annexation the ship
ping facilities at the disposal of Ha-
waiian shippers We're much better.
The operation of the United States
shipping laws in the Islands since the
Territory was annexed TO the United
States has caused considerable incon-
venience, it is an injustice in fact to
the Hawaiians. Now they can not use
the foreign bottoms in which they for
| merly sent cargo to the Coast. Many
British vessels formerly carried sugar
to United States ports from the
Islands. but since the United States
shipping laws made it impossible for
vessels other than those flying the
United States flag to enter the coast
ing service between the Islands and
the United States coast, the shippers
have suffered hardships because there
are not sufficient American vessels to
carry the freight offered. This state of
affairs often causes loss. | have some
times seen sugar lying on the wharf be-
cause a vessel could not be secured to
carry it. It's an injustice to us of
Hawaii, but, I suppose as we are part
of the United States of America we
must stand our part of the system.
The Hawaiians have had quite a lot
of politics since annexation. You talk
of hot elections elsewhere but they can
have no hotter elections than those we
have in the Islands. We've had too
much politics since annexation.
The old-time customs have not gone
from Hawaii but they are passing. The
stories which are circulated regarding
Kahunas and how they pray people to
death are more or less absurd. A ka7
huna is herb doctor usually who I'M
poses on the poor people.
Before [ left Honolulu there was a
movement on foot among the merchants
to purchase or charter a steamer which
would give Honolulu service to San
Francisco. There is. at present, no
steamer in service to the Coast belong
ing to Honolulu and I think there is
need for such a service as is suggested.

PRINCE KUHIO'S INTERVIEW
ON OUR LABOR PROBLEMS

The Victoria Colonist Of Nov IS has
the fouowiug: Prince Kuhio KaIani-
anaoIe, second son OF the last Hawaiian
ruler. King Kalakaua, elected king of
the islands on the death of Lunalilo,
without heirs in 1874, arrived from
Honolulu by the steamer Aorangi yes
terdav en- route to Washington. D. c.,
as delegate of Hawaiian Territory. L..
S. A, at the 59th congress. Prince
Kuhio Kalanianaole, otherwise known
as Prince Cupid, as he was nick-named
by the late King Kalakaua. is now 60
ing to serve his second term in Con-
gress as the Republican delegate from
Hawaii. He told a Colonist reporter
Yesterday he would run again, if offer
ed the nomination, although he was not
anxious for it, 1t had been said at
Honolulu that Governor Carter would
resign from his executive position to
run as candidate for Congress, but he
doubted this The Governor would be
good representative for Hawaii, he
said. His own election, by a plurality
of over 5000, has been contested by
the Democratic candidate, Mr.. Tau
kea, who claimed the election was ille-
gal; but the prince said he is fully pre-
pared to prove its legality.
LABOR PROBLEM SERIOUS.
Before leaving for Seattle yesterday
en- route to the United States capital,
Prince Kalanianaoie gave an interview
to Colonist reporter in which he
touched upon some of the problems,
which are confronting the Hawaiian
people since their annexation to the
United States did away with their old
haps the most serious. Labor, cheap
labor that is. is scarce, and as for
skilled labor there is not sufficient to
employ the pechanics ana others, many
of whom are leaving the Islands. Be
fore annexation, said Prince Kalanian-
aole, we depended mostly on Asiatic,
Chinese labor. Now the supply is done
away with because under the United
japanese are allowed to enter the coun-
try, but they are unstable and unsat-
isfactory. Sugar planting is the chief
industry of the Islands, in fact, the
mainstay of the country, and the
planters are already complaining of
shortage of labor. AS time goes on the
scarcity becomes worse and soon
crisis viii be reached. We have tried
to import Portuguese and Galicians for
the work on the plantations, but this
has not been satisfactory. They are
good workmen, especially the Portu-
guese who are a steady and progressive
people, but they do not remain long on
the plantations After working for
space they make a little homestead of
their own, and leave plantation work.
CHINESE UNDER CONTRACT
