JAPs FLOODING HAWAII.
CommissiOner F.. p. Sargent Makes
Report In Washington.

Washington, p. c.. Dec. 25.-Frank
p. Sargent, commissioner of immlgra-
ton, who went to Hawaii to investi-
gate the Japanese situation there. re-
turned to Washington yesterday and
made a verbal report of conditions
there. Mr.. Sargent was reticent In
speaking of his visit, not yet having
had time to put his whole report In
writing. He will inform the Presl-
dent in detail the conditions he found
in Hawaii at n nearly date. Speaking
generally of the situation, Mr.. Sargent
said
Il find that Hawaii is being made the
way station by the Japanese immi-
grants who cannot get passports from
Japan beyond that point While ! was
there one ship brought in 800 Jap
anese, many of whom took the next
steamer to the mainland. The theory
of the Japanese government is, I pre-
sumo, that there is work for these
laborers on the islands, The fact Is,
however, that they do not remain
there. There are probably at present
&C, 900 japanese in the island. and they
900 a month. In the last year about
~, 900 have landed there.
Commissioner Sargent admitted that
there was feeling against tho Japanese
in the island. The supply of labor for
working the sugar plantations has ex-
ceeded the demand. and the Japanese
are now turning to other pursuits. As
a result there Is general cutlery
against them among the laboring
classes who cannot compete with them,
