The Military saKute.

The military salute required in al.
most all civilized countries is nearly
the same. Perhaps In Germany, how.
ever, the regulations are somewhat
more stringent. A soldier on meeting
the emperor has to stand STILL face
about and remain with hand raised for
from twelve to twenty PAGES before
his majesty approaches and for the
same distance after he has passed.
In Belgium an officer has to do the
same thing for the king and subalterns
for generals, though ten PAGES only
are required for the latter case. Sell

hands are quite occupied salute with

raise their caps to each other, but the
privates do as the privates in other
armies do.--Londou Standard.

Representative business men met
chamber yesterday afternoon to discuss
the proposed change of government
lands on the Island of Lanai to Francis

he employs them when he has any la
Dor to offer. He has had to supply
them at times with both food and fresh
water. The natives were leaving right
along for other islands. He believed
that the island could best be devoted
to pasturage. The island was suitable
only for ranch purposes. The main diff
fculty is the lack of water. Mr.. Gay
ran short of water last year and lost

Z. S.. Immigration Commissioner
Frank P. Sargent arrived on the S. S.
Korea yesterday to look into immigra-
tion matters generally but particularly
to be here when the steamship Suveric
from the Azores arrives with the 1900
Portuguese immigrants procured from
the Portuguese islands through the in
strumentality of the Territorial Board
of Immigration He is registered at
the Young hotel.
THAT was my only purpose in COM
ing here said Mr.. Sargent on being
asked his plans. These Portuguese
immigrants are regarded in the New
England states as a very desirable
class of people. They make very good
residents in any community. We have
every reason to believe that these i'm
migrants are going to be an exception
ally fine class from what / have been
able to learn in correspondence with
representatives of this Territory
81 do not look upon this movement
in the light. of an experiment. and it
lis not an innovation here, although it
lis some time since you have had a
shipload of immigrants of this class
land in Honolulu. I hope that this
shipment will prove so successful that
you will call for more.
II think it an advantage to have
ipeople from other countries come here
so that you will have an opportunity
ITO observe the advantages or disad-
~vantages of each particular national-
ity rather than have them all come
from one place. OF course, you have
had Portuguese here before and you
know their character and what they
can do. I have always understood they
were well liked in this community and
We're considered an excellent class Of
people.
II have always advocated getting i'm
migrants from North Italy. and from
Belgium, too. From my point of view
they are a good class of people. I have
understood that the next party will be
brought from those places. There is
certainly no more thrifty or energetic
people than those hailing from the
north of Italy.
II have advocated the advantages of
this Territory in the mainland as much
as possible, in order that people might
realize what a beautiful snot it IS down
here. I have believed that when the
Territory became we'll known that a
great manv substantial people with
means would be glad to come here and

ernor for a statement, said that the

visit Honolulu and look over the coun-
try. They had heard of the islands and
came down here to investigate the sit
uation.
THE future of these islands is very
promising. Your people, of course,
must be liberal-minded and must ad-
vertise your islands far and wide. You
have already gained a great deal by
the advertising you have placed
through the Hawaii Pro >ticn Ccm-
mittee. That organization is doing
;weIl. Keep it up. Don't be selfish in
the distribution of knowledge. There
are splendid opportunities in these is
lands.
'sYou people must also realize that
you must do something else besides
raising cane all the time. You can
raise other things, in an agricultural
sense. Run a railroad all around that
big island of Hawaii and tap all the
plantations there. If the people at
Hilo want and need a breakwater to
protect their open harbor they can get
it. Go after the appropriation and L
think you can get it. Those who come
down here from the mainland go back
with a kindly feeling toward this pos
session.
Colonel Hepburn visited here last
year and that visit did you great
deal of good. He is a good friend OF
Hawaii.
From my point of view you want to
stimulate every industry and encourage
people to come here. Don't let people
believe that you have only one COM
modify that you can raise. There are
other things, as I have said. rake
your pineapples, your coffee, etc
'I have seen some wonderful i'm
provements since my arrival-many
changes since I was here last year
Just take that big immigration station
down near the harbor for instance
Isn't that a big Improvement? That
place was formerly a mud fiat and we
have only just started to beautify It.
There are more improvements to
come
Commissioner Sargent is quoted IN
the San Francisco Call as follows:
"I understand from newspaper re-
ports that there is dissatisfaction IN
Hawaii over Japanese labor and that
the Territorial Government has taken
steps to induce Europeans to go 10 the
islands. This subject is not WITHIN

The government is concerned in know

From SATURDAYS Dailv.
The Omaha road sustained bad
washout at Sheldon, Iowa, last night,
and in consequence traffic has been in
terfered with. Passenger train No. 2,
due to arrive in Mankato early in the
morning, had to be held and did not
reach this city until two O'Clock this af-
ternoon. The noon train from the south
did not arrive until three o'clock this af-
ternoon. All other trains on this road
were practically on time, and no trouble
was experienced elsewhere along the line.
The Chicago & Northwestern, the
Milwaukee and the Great Western roads
have had little or no trouble on account
of the rains, and the trains have been
practically on time.
If the rains continue much longer, soft
tracks will be almost sure to result i'm

landslides.
