HAWAII IS SUFFERING.
Labor Question and United States Ship
ping Laws Prove Hard
ships.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 25.-Prince
Kuhio .Kalanianole of Hawaii, Repub-
Gcan delegate from Hawaii to the fifty
Einth Congress, arrived today from
Honolulu. The prince said the labor
question now confronting Hawaii is most
serious.
Sugar Growing in Danger.
The sugar plantations are the chief in
dustrIes, III fact, the mainStay of the is
lands. Before annexation they depend
ed on Asiatic, mostly Chinese labor, and
now that Chinese were Tot admitted the
scarcity of labor has become serious
question, he said. japanese were al
lowed to land, but were unstable and
unsatisfactory. Portuguese and Galici-
ans had been tried, though they did not
meet the requirements.
The prince said he favored the admis-
sion of a certain number of Chinese IN
der contract similar to the British .sys-
tenn in the Transvaal, although he did
not know how the United States would
favor such a scheme. Something had to
be done, as the planters We're suffering
from lack of labor.
Suffer from Shipping Laws.
Hawai- also suffered by the operation
Of the United States shipping laws, said
the prince. He did not think there was
sufficient American shipping TO fill re-
QGlrementS and the operation of the ship
ping laws worked a hardship and caused
q loss. He thought it unjust, but had to
be borne, as the islands were now part
of the United States. Many people
We're getting much money from this ,traf-
fic. The Japanese who came to Hawaii
seemed to be the worst kind.
The prince said his election had been
contested by the defeated candidate, Ia
wakek. who claimed the election was
illegal. He said he would easily show
its legality.

Find of MichelangeIo DRAWINGS.

While Florence possesses the finest
collection in the whole world of draw
ings by the old masters, it is d singular
fact that until a chance discovery re-
dressed the balance in her favor she
was, in respect of drawings by Michel
angelo, poorer than either London, Paris
or Vienna. Prof. Ferri and DR.. Jacob
sen, however, have recently brought to-
light some eighteen folios containing
about sixty-fve drawings by the great
Florence. which had lain for ages I'M
suspected and undisturbed in the Ufizi.
among the undisturbed papers pro-
nounced generations ago to be of no.
value. Among the drawings are studies:
for the large frescoes in the ceiling Of
the Sistine Chapel, studies for the
Might" for the seated figures Of the,
Cappella Medicca, for the "Slave," the
Moses and for the Universal Judg
ment' in the Sistine.-London Globe.

Respect Shown to Dead Men Lost Il
Metal Tank

Respect Shown to Dead Men Lost in
Metal Tank.
With the burial rites of the Roman
Catholic church forty-ton steel ingot
was inferred at the Midvale steel works
at Philadelphia and its burial served rs
the funeral of John Forkin and Joseph
Gazda, employees of the company, who
were killed recently when 10000 pounds
of molten metal were let into a pit bv
defective plug. The bodies of the men
were completely obliterated. Not even
a trace of their clothing has been seen
since the accident The management
of the works desired to show some sort
of respect for the dead and caused a
section of the hardened metal, oval in
shape, twenty-eight feet long, six feet
wide and five feet thick, to be cut out
and conveyed by a travelling crane to
the rear of the machine shop, where n
grave ten feet deep was dug. \ plat
form was erected over the spot and reg
ular funeral services were held. They
We're conducted by two priests and were
attended by President Harrah and other
officials OF the company. Only those of
the W0rkmen on duty in the plant were
allowed to be present

ambitious to accomplish something in the

SANTA FE COMPANY
WILL SINK TEST WELL.
Engineer Key Has instructions to Drill One Thousand Feet for
Aresan Water Right of Way.

The Santa Fe Railroad company has de-
cided to test the matter of Artesian water
in the Estancia Valley, and as usual
with that company, to decide is to act
and they have already given Mr.. J. V.
Key, the engineer in charge, the authori-
ty to 60 to work.
The we'll will be near Willard and will
be put down to depth of 1000 feet, un-
less artesian water is struck before that
depth is reached. The water in a well
near Willard, sunk by Contractor Sink
ard during work there two years ago was
tested and proved to be the best water on
the entire line and is yet, with the possi-
bic exception of the water at MouHtanalr,
which has never been analyzed and
which is said to be very nne water. Pure
water means great deal to a railroad
company and it was the quality of this
water that prompted the company to
drill for artesian water.

Back From the Estancia Plains.


George Arnot, the we'll known manager
of the local grocery establishment of
Gross, Kelly & Co., has visited the
sheep ranges of the Estancia plains from
Kennedy to Torrance, on the Santa Fe
Central, and he returned to the city last
night. The gentleman stated that he
negotiated the purchase of several big
clips of WOO, for early delivery, and also
interested himself in forthcoming territor-
ial fair by purchasing half dozen or more
of fine wool fleeses to be exhbitei at the
fair One of the fleeces purchased will
weigh tWenty-six pounds, another eight
cen pounds and others from ten to fifteen
pounds. Mr.. Arnot says the plains have
appearance Of we'll arranged lawn, ex-
cept here and there bunch cf weeds, and
in consequence the sheepmen are new en-
joying the biggest lambing for many
years. Itis the opinion of Mr. Arnot that
the lambs saved will average from 90 to
100 per cent. Some of the raisers are
now shearing their immense flocks, and
it is thought that shearingon the plains
will be finished about June I.
