CANADA INVOKES
MONROE DOCTRINE

Canada has never shown much en-
thusiasm for Mr. Chamberlain
schemes of Imperial Federation, and
two recent Ministerial utterances dis
play strikingly the general desire for
administrative and fiscal independence.
Prime Minister Laurier, speaking at
Ottawa recently, handled the propos-
ais for Imperial tariffs quite frankly.
Let Canada and England each seek
her own good in tariff matters. Per-
haps treaties of commerce were pos
sbie; uniform tariffs emphatically
We're not. But in any case it was not
reciprocity treaties that upheld the
Empire. 1t was Sir Wilfrid's firm con-
viction that the Empire could be main
tanned ION one condition only, and that
condition is that every component part
of the British Empire should be left
to do the best it can for itself" Some
thing like a practical application of
this principle mas since been made by
Sir Frederick Borden, Minister of Mil
tia. Speaking after a lecturer who
had advocated Canadian contributions
to the support of the Imperial navy,
the Canadian War Minister called at
tenton to the fact that no colony
would willingly tax itself for a fund
over the spending of which it had no
control. He further said that, under
the Monroe Doctrine, which he accept
ed as a fact without approving 1t as
an article of international law, Cana
da virtually commanded the protection
of the United States navy as against
all European nations. He saw no prof
it, then, in the Dominion bearing the
burden either of it's own navy, or of
the Imperial navy in part. If these
two speeches may be regarded as rep
resentatiVe, as we believe they may,
Mr.. Chamberlain's arguments have
fallen fiat in Canada. The Dominion
is willing to dispense with a formal
Imperial federation for precisely those
business considerations which Mr..
Chamberlain advances as his strongest
plea for Imperial reciprocity.-TheN Ma

FEMALE CARD sHARPs.

NEW YORK, March 22.-When the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. arrived
from Bremen today a story was told
by the passengers of card sharps in
the woman's parlor on board the ship
when the vessel was only two days
out. For the first time the 'sharps"

In the Vienna room of the steamship,
which is frequented almost exclusively
by women, a scene was enacted on the
afternoon of March 16 which was al
most dramatic.
petite woman dressed in black, ac-
companied by tall, good-looking En-
glshman made the acquaintance or
several of the women passengers and
began a game of draw poker with a
25-cent limit. The game proceeded
about three hours, when one of the
women at the table, who had lost con-
siderable money, sprang to her feet and
accused the woman In black" of cheat
ing. The table was overthrow ana
everybody stood up with blanched
faces. The greatest confusion ensued
until some of the officers of the ship
arrived and Gained the women passen-
gers.
Then 1t was learned that one Of the
women charged that she saw the
"woman ia black" signal 10 the tall En-

a few hours later Captain Hagemann
of the steamship posted the following

HAWAII AND THE JAPANESE.

The Hawaii Shinpo, a Japanese daily
OF Honolulu, has completed a census Of
the Japanese residents of the islands,
and discovers little more than sixty
thousand, whereas the Japanese popu-
lation at the last census was seventy
thousand. Thousands of Japanese
have been brought to the islands In
the interval; still their numbers have
fallen off. An analysis of the popula-
ton reveals the fact that just over
seventeen thousand are employed ON
the plantations, though. practically.
all the Japanese brought to the is
lands are shipped at once to the plan
tations. The ability of the Japanese
to escape from laboring work is shown
In the fact that there are nearly five
thousand storekeepers. and that there
are about twelve thousand Japanese
residents of Honolulu, where there are
certainly no plantations. As evidence
of the persistence with which the Jap
| anese maintain their own institutions
in foreign country. we may point
to the fact that there are fifty-seven
schools maintained by the Japanese, as
well as thirty-three Buddhist temples.
sixteen Christian churches, and six
Shinto temples. The purpose of the
editor of the japanese paper is to show
that the Japanese are dissatisfied with
their treatment on the plantations. He
says that the numbers of those who
| return to Japan or go to California and
| other states more than counterbalances
the new arrivals. and thus accounts
for the falling Off 1t is true that they
| must go somewhere. or the Shinpo's
census must be grievously out of focus,
| for the custom-house figures show that
one hundred and fifty thousand were
brought to Honolulu. Judging by ex-
ternal evidence, we imagine that the
Coast states have absorbed the differ
ence, and that we in California have
had more than our shares. f. Ar

JARED SMITH
, is SEEKING
STEAMERS
The Hilo Herald says;

Inc tt1lO Herald says.
An interesting and important letter
has been received by the Hilo Board
of Trade from Jared G.. Smith, Director
of the u. S. Department of Agrieul-
lures experiment station for Hawaii.
The communication is dated from
Washington, where Director Smith is
at present. 1t runs thus:
81 am entering into negotiations, I'M
officially, and on my own initiation,
with the United Fruit Co., the corpora
ton controlling the banana business of
the United States, to see If ] can inter-
est them to the extent of putting some
of their fruit steamers into the trade
between the islands and the Coast. This
company owns and operates about $50
ocean fruit steamers, mainly in the At
lantic and Caribbean region. 1t has
seemed to me that it would be much
better for our growers to work with,
rather than in competition with, these
powerful interests. The matter of pas
senger traffic from the Coast to Hawaii
Will undoubtedly be discussed.
II would advise you to notify banana
growers, who, believe, are quite gem
erally discouraged with the outlook,
Indl powerful lllltTtStS III tlllS 1OuhtiS
namely the citrus and deciduous fruit
growers associations throughout the
land, are working for duty on ba-
nanas. The idea of these interests Is
to shut out the banana, now grown
almost exclusively in foreign countries,
from disastrous competition with main
land grown fruits, especially the apple
and pear. If these American fruit
growers are successful in their fight,
then Hawaii and Porto Rico are abso-
1utely the only American Territories
where the banana can be grown, and
banana growers still engaged in pro-
duction should profit greatly from such
legislation.
II am not in a position to make any
promises, but am hoping that If this
company decides to enter the Hawaiian
banana field there will be cooperation
with them"

PORTLAND
REjOICES

In the Oregon Journal of March %
the following article appears. 1t con
tains the latest mainland account OF the
great Tehuantepec transportation sys-
TEN of the American Hawaiian Steam
ship Co. which will take effect the first
of next year:
Portland is to have direct steamship
service with New York and Honolulu.
The details of the plan were announced
this morning by Charles +. Beebe, who
has just returned from trip to the
East. The Nebraskan and Nevadan,
among the finest of the American Ha-
waiian liners, will call regularly, con-
Meeting with other vessels of the com
pany running between the western ter
minus of the Tehuantepec railroad, in
Mexico. and San Francisco.
Aside from handling all freight con-
signed to local merchants from New
York, the steamers will carry ship
ments from San Francisco for Port
land and Puget sound. The plan means
that there will also be a material i'm
provement in the coast steamship serv-
ice. The Nebraskan and Nevadan are
oil-burners, equipped for the rapid
ndHullnS OI lreiRut anu HoueIu III eNciy
particular. After coming to Portland
they will go up the coast as far as
the sound where freight will be picked
up for the return voyage.
The American Hawaiian Steamship
company will place IL steamers in serv-
ice connecting with the Tehuantepec
railroad. four on the Atlantic side, five
from the Pacific terminus of the rail
way, plying to San Francisco and Homo
lulu, and two from San Francisco to
Portland and the sound country. Those
which will be kept on the Atlantic side
running from New York are the Ameri-
can, Hawaiian, Oregonian and Cali
fornian, each of which has carrying
capacity of 5000 tons. From the Pa
citic terminus to San Francisco and
Honolulu the Texan, Arizonan, Alaskan,
Mexican and Columbian will run, each
capable of handling 1000 tons of
freight.

BIGGEST REGULAR LINERS.

Meeting them at San Francisco will
be the Nebraskan and Nevadan, which
will be used for bringing all of the New
York freight north consigned to Port
land and Puget sound merchants. They
are about 6000-ton carriers, and will
be the largest craft ever engaged to
make regular port of entry calls at
Portland. 1t is planned to have them
proceed first to Portland. After the
freight consigned to the local merchants
has been discharged they will go to
Seattle Then they will pick up ship
ments for New York and again stop at
Portland on the return trip to San Fran
cisco. They will also connect with the
steamers of the line coming from
Honolulu and bring shipments of sugar,
bananas and other products to Portland
and the sound. On the start they will
afford at least 25-day service, but if
the business justifies it they will be
sent more frequently.
The largest and best steamers of the
line have been selected for the Pacific
part of the route, as it is believed that
the heaviest traffic will be secured on
this side of the new railroad. General
merchandise will be carried to San
Francisco and Honolulu direct from
New York On the return trip from
the islands it is said most of the freight
will be sugar. In fact, it is thought
there will be enough sugar alone to keep
three of the steamers busy. 1t is sup
posed that heavy shipments of bananas
will also be made Much of this fruit,
it is said, will be disposed of in Port
land territory.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1906-04-10
TO SUPPLY CANAL ZONE.

While no steps have yet been taken
to handle traffic for the government,
which is building the Panama canal, it
is thought that arrangements will soon
be completed for making regular ship
ments on the steamers to the canal
zone. In that event the business of
the Pacific Mail steamers and indie
pendent companies, which have been de-
livering shipments there, will be cut
into materially.
The Tehuantepec railroad will be in
operation by January !, 1907, and the
steamship service as outlined will then
be established. 1t will be one of the
best equipped railroads in Mexico, hav-
ing double track so that trains can be
kept in motion both coming and going
without being forced to lie idle at nu-
merous sidetracks. 1t is declared that
the engines and rolling stock will be of
the highest standard and the facilities
for taking care of freight the very best.
Those who have been made familiar
with the plans evolved by the railroad
and steamship companies express the
opinion that they will take care of a
greater quantity of traffic than any
other transportation company engaged
in looking after transcontinental bust
ness.
Charles +. Beebe & Co. will be the
local agents of the line. 1t was largely
through the efforts of the senior mem
Der of the firm that the American-Ha-
waiian company decided to send cou-
