sented themselves as being of a
class when they were nothing of
the sort and were not entitled to
land. In a situation where there
is the possibility of fraud being
perpetrated, it is necessary to ex-
ercise the utmost care 10 prevent
the laws being evaded.
II have instructed the immi-
grafton officials to show the utmost
consideration and kindness to the
people of the exempt classes and
have told them the fact that a
man be a Chinese, they must not be
prejudiced their treatment of him.
But we have found in many in
stances that the alleged merchant
had had no acquaintance with the
certificate which was supposed to
prove his qualification to be ex-
empt from the Exclusion laws. 1t
was found that the certificate had
been issued to him upon the pay
ment of $50 or 800 or 5000.
complaints have been made to
the President, in the interest l do
not doubt, of those who hoped to
make a profit of the Chinese, that
the exclusion laws were being en-
forced unjustly and too strictly.
The President communicated with
the Secretary of the Department
of Labor regarding the matter.
We prepared a statement upon
this subject which was given to
the Secretary and | understand
was sent to the President. In that
statement for instance is the case
of the Chinese student. During
the fiscal year ending June 80, 72
Chinese students applied for adj
mission and out of this number
20 were admitted. The two who
were refused a landing, were affict-
ed with trachoma disease which
is contagious.
81 presume that the President
has been guided by the facts in
that statement in this matter, as
it was shown there the necessity
of exercising the utmost precau-
tions to guard against fraud

SARGENT ON CHINESE EX-
CLUSION,

HONOLULU. June 27.-Com-
missioner General of immigration
Frank P. Sargent was interviewed
yesterday regarding the cable dis
patches from Washington to the
effect that President Roosevelt had
directed that the fullest courtesies
be shown to the Chinese of the
exempt class entering the United
States.
81 can of course, only conjecture
what that dispatch means" said
General Sargent because | have
not been advised regarding the
orders by the President. | think
however that the President has
directed that the immigration of
ficials endeavor to show as much
consideration and every kindness
possible to the Chinese of the
exempt classes arriving at Ameri-
can ports, for the purpose of enter
ing the United States.
The laws on the subject OF
Chinese exclusion are explicit and
were passed by Congress. Under
those laws the Chinese exempt
from the provisions of the ex-
clusion laws are the merchant
class, student class and traveller
class who come for instruction or
curiosity. The laws are also very
plain upon the details of qualifica-
tion of each class. A man of the
merchant class is required for in
stance, to have his papers made
out telling about his business, the
amount of money he has invested
and other details. There are how
ever, efforts to evade the provisions
of the law and people have repre-

ATKINSON MAY QUIT.

HONOLULU, June 27.-The
resignation of Secretary A. L. c.
Atkinson is not unlikely to follow
the acceptance of Carter's resigna-
tion as governor and the appoint
ment of Carter's successor. Atkin-
son wants to return to the law
practice and has frequently ex-
pressed his intention to do so.
He was, however, expecting to
succeed Carter as governor, and
was willing to hold on to his office
for the sake of this higher prospect.
Carter's sudden resignation, how
ever, before "Jack" is old enough
to be governor, upsets all calcula-
tions.
1t is said that one of the ques-
tions asked by w. o. Smith, in
considering whether he would ac-
cept the governorship, was whether
Atkinson, who knows the work of
both offices, would remain, and
that the Secretary declined to
to pledge himself. With Smith it
is a question of health, as it APP
pears to be decided that he can
have the support of Carter and
other influential elements, but he
does not like undertaking such a
strenuous job at the present time.
In view of Atkinsons attitude it
is thought to be not likely that
new governor if he comes in will
have a new secretary of the Terri
tory with him. There are few
candidates for secretary as yet, but
w. r. Harrington has BEEN men
toned as a possibility if Henry E.
Cooper becomes governor.

AT the next meeting of the I'M
provement Association to be held
July 13, Hon. w. J. Coelho will
ask that resolution be passed
asking the Federal Government
through its War Department to
establish sub-posts on each island
and maintain a detachment of
regulars.
In support of this the Honorable
Representative says
could the War Department be
prevailed upon to do this, the very
presence of regulars, in localities
where there is or has been disturb
ing elements, would create a feel
ing of fear and do away with al
together, or at least lessen the
possibility of strikes and rioting."
"Again the people would derive
a great many benefits from the
establishing of local sub-post;
First by Offering the local trades
men an opportunity to furnish
fresh supplies to the post. Second,
abe money which would be dis
tributed monthly on pay day
would help to lessen the stringency
in the money market by counter
acting to a degree the amount
which is being sent to the Orient"
'"The people of each island
should petition the War Depart
ment to station regulars an their
island"
Commander Coffin in a recent
interview in the Honolulu papers
in speaking of probable war be-
tween the United States and an
Oriental power said:--"In such a
war, Hawaii would be like bone
between two dogs. Each fleet
would try to h3ld these islands
as a point of vantage. There is no
doubt in my mind that Hawaii
should have better protection"
Comm ander Coffin of course is
speaking from naval standpoint,
yet at the same time what feeling
of securely there would be if a
company of regulars were stationed
who would take the initiative to
quell any sympathetic demons
tration on land. Nor does this
apply any more to Maui, Hawaii,
or Kauai, than it does to Oahu,
should naval battle take place
off that island. "
The stand taken by the Legisla-
ture in regard to the National Guard
has been thoroughly thrashed out,
but as long as we are dealing
with military affairs it will not be
amiss to say that the reason the
Legislature took the stand it did
was that they did not believe in
supporting the militia, but because
the militia was being used for
primary purposes. Another thing,
the National Guard as it stands
under the military law cannot be
called out promptly to be of any
assistance to the police in quelling
riots -
"The Legislature wanted to get
the appropriation so as to permit
of funds being available pro rata

les with those of Honolulu and

breaches, the mobiles argue,
the students agitate, the
people plead and the assas-
sins destroy. Sometimes
one comes to the front,
sometimes the other. Hope
brings the arguments of
reason into use; despair
nerves the arm of force.
The tide of revolt GIBBS and
flows between paper petit
tions and dynamite bombs.
When one has failed, you
may prepare for the other.
A revival Of the terror of
assassination was certain to
follow the murderous an
sWer of the despotism to the
petition Of the people. The
killing Of Won Plehye relaxed
the intolerable burden ofop-
preston and gave hope Of
reform by moral means.
The massacre in ST. Peters
burg destroyed this hope
and murder raises it's red
hand against the unendur-
able tyranny. The blow
falls first in Finland, where
the crime of the autocracy
against nationality as well as
human right is most glar-
ing and recent. Nextit may
fall in Warsaw, in Moscow
or in the capitol itself.
More and more is the corr
viction forced upon the pub,
lie opinion Of the world that
the terror is the only cure
for the uncomfortable. The
victims may be pitied per-
sonally, but the justice of
their punishment is felt.
We hear no more of the
sympathy that followed
Alexander IL. to his grave.
Ministers of the police. gov
errors of cities and Finnish
traitors to their race fall
unwept into bloody graves.
1t will be the same when the
hand of wild justice rises
higher. The bomb that
skaters the body Of Vladi-
mir will rouse echoes of Joy
the world over. Even the
poor little car will not
share the sympathy of the
world for his unhappy fam
lily when his hour shall
strike.
These are not persons to
excite human feeling; they
are parts of hideous system,
for which there is no room
in the twentieth century. It
must be cut out like an
ulcer, wiped out like the
plague, destroyed like a
mad dog. The assassins
are extirpating a frightful
disease with the sharp sur
gerry of the sword. If the
world dares not encourage
their atrocities, no more
dares it condemn them.

AMERICANSC CAN DO IT
Engineer Says Panama Canal
 Will Be Ready by 1915.
TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND WORKERS
Letter of Expert Randolph Fore shadows Report of Commissioners. He Has Recently Returned
 From the Isthmus.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25--The isth- milan canal commission has made pub lie a letter written by Isham Ran dolph, a member of the board of con sulting engineers of the Panama canal, to Zina R. Carter. president of the sanitary district of Chicago, which em- bodies the views of Mir. Randolph con corning canal matters.
 He has recently returned from visit to Panama with other members of the board, and his opinions are interesting and in view of the publication of the letter by the commission may be con sidered semiofficial
 In his letter MT. Randolph says:
 What we do know is that it can be done, that Americans can do 1t and that in as short time as so stu pendous an undertaking can be put through. We do know that almost limitless resources await the demand of the builders and that the builders represent the highest grade of Ameri- can engineering talent, led on by man whose record of accomplishment is but the earnest of the things that he shall do.'
 Hence we may reasonably look for the passage of the great ocean freight CTS from the Caribbean to the Pacific before our calendars are headed 1915. How much before, this deponent say eth not. This is no easy triumph for the builders who must contend with and overcome difficulties not encoun- tered in our temperate zone. First there are climatic difficulties which my investigations force me to believe have been magnified and exaggerated. The question of proper housing has been a problem, but its solution is pro- gressing and it has had to wait upon lumber which must come from the states.
 "The French left behind them some 2,500 buildings, little and big, which are being made habitable, but many more must be built to house the thou sands whose labors are required to ac- complish the work. When the equip ment is on hand and the organization perfected at least 24,O00 men will be required In the various departments of industry" t.. .-
