ceased to the identical with those
of the two great Powers whose
naval bases were in the Pacific. No
one believed that the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance would last forever.
Great Britain looked with dread
and horror TO rupture with the
United States, but she could not
shut her eyes to the fact that rup-
lures had occurred between the
most friendly nations. Sir John
asked what the Government was
doing to remind Canada and the
British colonies of the great respon-
sibilities which they would incur
when their seaports and immense
interests in the Pacific were inn
minently threatened.
Secretary Pretyman, replying,
said Great Britain did not desire
the mastery of any sea beyond
securing an equal opportunity for
British trade interests without fear
or favor. To say that Great Bril-
tain desired the mastery of the
Pacific or any other sea might give
a false impression. Mr.. Pretyman
added that the British warships in
the Pacific We're sufficient for the
needs of British trade interests at
present, so far as could be foreseen
for very long time to come. With
regard to the new battleships, Mr..
Pretyman said the lessons taught
by the naval warfare in the Far
East were closely taken to heart by
the admiralty. He might say that
the contemplated changes in the
plans of warship construction were
largely based on those lessons
which furnished the first oppor-
tunity in many years to baseplans
upon actual results.

WILL SEEK EUROPEAN WHITE LABOR.
Plan To Be Soon Worked Out-Lands to be Thrown Open
For Settlement.-Korea Will Ask independence.
What Nation Shall Rule the Pacific.
WHITE WORKERS FOR PLAN
TATIONS.

HONOLULU, July II. - The
different plantation owners and
managers, it is claimed, are enter
ing Loyalty into the spirit which
prompted the founding of the I'm
migration Bureau, and as result
it is extremely probable that it
will not be long before a colony of
white workers from Europe will be
shown the wisdom of diverting
their steps to the far isles of the Pa
cifc.
AS primal condition it has be-
come the duty of the immigration
Commission to find out just what
the plantations were willing to do
for prospective white immigrants
and with a view to securing ac-
curate information a circular let
ter was sent out to the different
plantations asking for information.
Up to the present, while only few
answers have been received, an
earnest attempt is obviously being
made to gather the requisite in
formation. 1t is certain that some
sort of a plan intended to provide
white plantation workers with
homesteads will soon be worked
out. E. E. Paxton has been COM
missioned to proceed to New York
for the purpose of seeing what can
be done in the way of getting north
ern Italians and Spaniards to come
this way, and it is said that
scheme for making arrangements
satisfactory to them will sh ortly be
evolved.
Speaking of immigration of labor
for the plantations here Mr.. Paxton
said that the Tehuantepec route
would greatly facilitate the getting
of European laborers to Hawaii,
stated that he thought, since he
new freight steamers of the Ameri'
can Hawaiian Company would not
be ready for long time, that some
temporary arrangement might be
made with the steamship company
to put steerage quarters in some of
their present boats to get labor out
here, if necessary.
"Mind you," said Mr.. Paxton, 81
believe that Chinese labor is the
best for our plantations, and we
should not cease to work for some
notifications of the exclusion law
that would permit of the entrance
here of Chinese labor, but, at the
came time, | consider it most inn
portant that this European immi-
grafton matter be thoroughly look
ed into.
"The first thing to do is to as
certain what the plantations here
will do in the way of inducements.
With European labor we would
have to colonize, Italians, Portu-
guese 1--WE have proved the Portu-
guese) or people from the north Of
Spain make good workers, but they
must be given proper inducements.
81 think the immigration question
had much to do with the determi-
nation of arrangements to trans
port sugar by the Tehuantepec
route. This will be a splendid

Blu SINESS STROKE IN SHIP
PING SUGAR.

HONOLULU, July 1.-THE
Hawaiian Planters have Just
closed contract with the American
Hawaiian S. S. Co. which will go
into effect year from next De-
cember. whereby the latter COM
pany will transfer all Hawaiian
sugar, save that consumed on the
Pacific Coast and 10000 tons re-
served for sailing vessels, to New
York by way of the Tehuantepec
Railroad.
This new agreement will cause
a very radical change from the
former methods of shipping sugar
and will cut out the present over
land rail shipments from San
Francisco to New Orleans by way
of the Southern Pacific.
Furthermore, the time it takes
to ship the sugar will be cut near
ly in half, the steamship company
guaranteeing that by its new ar
rangements it will land cargo in
New York inside of forty days after
leaving Honolulu.
To handle this enormous busi-
nese the company has contracted
with the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco to build two new freight
steamers 500 feet long with 60 feet
beam. These, with the other steam
ers of the line, will be put on to
maintain a fast service between
here and the Tehauntepec Rail-
road. The service will be trian-
gular one, steamers leaving here
every ten days for Central America.
From there they will run to San
Francisco and thence back to the
islands.
AS before stated, 10000 tons of
sugar will be reserved for the sail
ing vessels to carry around the
Horn as in the past, and the sugar
for consumption on the Coast will
be handled as at present. The
changes will be only in regard to
handling the sugar sent to the At
lantic Coast.
There are two reasons why the
contract will not go into effect be-
fore a J ear from next December.
The new vessels ordered by the
American-Hawaiian Company will
not be finished before that time,
neither will the Tehauntepec Rail-
road be completed and open for
business for over year.
Between 10000 and 10000 tons
of sugar are now being shipped
overland from San Francisco to
New Orleans and thence taken to
New York by boat. This will he
diverted to the American-Hawaiian
ships and with the time of travel
cut down from 20 days, the time
it now takes to send sugar round
the Horn, to 40 or even 80 days, a
step has been taken by the sugar
interests which will be found to
help Hawaii in more ways than
one.

WILL ASK FOR INDEPENDENCE

HONOLULU, July II. The
1000 or more Koreans in these is
lands have combined to send re-
preventative to the Peace Confer
ence which will be held at Wash
ington iii August, to do what he
can towards getting a definite pro-
mise from Japan that after a
certain number of years Korea will
be granted the same independence
by Japan that the United States
has granted to Cuba and Porto
Rico.
The representative, Mr.. Yoon,
will leave for the East by the Ala
media, and he carries with him a
letter of introduction from Secre-
tary of war Taft to President
Roosevelt, which may aid him in
his errand.
That this is the first stepin what
may turn out to be a matter of the
greatest Importance to the Koreans
as also to future relations of the
powers in the Orient, can readily
be seen, and it also shows what an
intense interest the Koreans have
taken in the affairs of their country.
They do not have any strong
feeling against the japanese, who
have occupied their country, but
rather welcome them, for they re-
alize that they may be of great
benefit. But at the same time the
Koreans long for independence and
this they hope to get in the future,
They have great faith in the lead
ers of Japan who gave their pledge
that they would be granted indie
pendence; in fact, Japan in both
her wars has been fighting for that,
and has declared herself III favor
of it.
While they have a friendly feel
ing for Japan, they do not want
her to assert herself forever, and it
is their great hope that she will,
after term of years, grant them
what they ask and hope for-inde-
pendence. 1t may not come for
five years, or fifteen, but they
would like to feel assured that it
would come at some definite time,
so that meanwhile they could pre-
pare themselves for it.

what 90 you think Of the pro
posed reduction of cotton acreage for
the year 1862 is an inquiry frequent
ly made by farmers. but not SO easily
answered. 1t depends on conditions.
If the object is to reduce the acreage
in order to put more labor on the area
cultivated in cotton and thus produce
a better crop, the policy is wise and
should be generally followed. If the
object is to cut down the acreage sole
ly for the purpose Of increasing the
price of cotton it is questionable, and
especially as this request is accom-
panied by a resolution to reduce the
amount of fertilizers used by rs per
cent. 1t looks like suggestion to
make poor crop to increase the price.
This poor crop policy is one of the
most damaging lines of advice that
could be given to the public. No farm
err ever made any money by follow
ing the poor crop policy Of agriculture.
A large number of reports were Sc
cured last year from reliable farmres
in Louisiana and Texas covering the
question of cost Of production of cot
ton. and it appears from these reports
that an average cost of lint cotton,
per pound, where the crop averaged a
bale per, acre, was 4.Sc. If the prod
uct fell to one-half bale the cost of
production Increased to &c per pound,
and the same reports show that where
one-third of bale was produced the
average cost is sic; and at one-fourth
of a bale the cost is lie. With de-
creased production below one-fourth
bale the cost rapidly increased; when
it reached one-eighth Of bale the
cost was 1so per pound; and at one
sixteenth Of bale the cost became
8Gc per pound.
In these estimates Of cost every
thing is allowed at a reasonable cash
value including rent Of land, use of
teams. too.s, etc. These costs are only
averages. Some farmers may make
cotton at less and some at greater
cost.
The startling lesson that these fig
ures teach is that the average Texas
farmer has not been making any mon
ey raising cotton, because as shown

by the census report the average crop
in Texas has been but little over one
third Of bale per acre, costing, on
our statement, 9.1o per pound, which
is above the average price. This class

long to them and their families or the
education which our civilization de.
mands of every citizen, and in gen
eral, they nave reduced all of them.
The practical lesson to be needed
is, let every farmer make the best
crop of cotton possible, because this
is the only line of profit. If you av-
erage less than one-half bale per acre,
better go out of the cotton business
Tbs apples to every farmer who is
ma ing cotton on his own account and
warts to prosper. To men who are
renting their lands for share, it is
of the highest Importance to secure a
good crop, and the tenant must make
a better average than he has in the
past ten years, or his future is not
very brilliant. There are certain fixed
charges in the production Of all crops
that are practically the same whether
the crop is large or small, such as,
rent of land, breaking, seed, plowlng
or cultivatlng, and in general all items
incident to the production of crop,
except harvesting.
To these must be added family ex-
penses where a man works his own
crop. From a money standpoint the
most essential problem in farming is
how to make large crop economic.
ally, and the larger the crop the great
er the economy, as rule.
There is more profit in reducing
the acreage two-thirds and producing
bale to the acre, than in planting
the whole land and harvesting one
third of bale The difference be
tween planting 300 acres to cotton and
getting one-thrd of bale per acre
or planting 100 acres and getting a
bale per acre is s215O in cost in favor
OF the less acreage and larger crop.
