Collector 81 the Port Stackahle VIII
start for Europe aud the Azores 10 ss-
cure plantation laborers Ia about six
weeks. In the mail that came from the
mainland yesterday, Mr.. Stackable re-
seived from the Secretary Of the Treas
ury NJ Washington leave Of absence for
ak months in order that he may fulhl
the mission 60 which he has been ap-
pointed by the Board Of Immigration.
The permission reads that Mr.. Stacka-
ole may take his departure when, In his
opinion, the good Of the service will
permit-and he will have matters in
train for his departure in ak weeks.
Yesterday afternoon the Collector Of
the Port had n telephone conference
with the Acting Governor, and these
swo will meet this forenoon to 60 over
the situation. Afterwards, probably on
Monday, Mr.. Stackable will meet the
Board Of Immigration for formal con-
ference relative TO his trip. Following
this meeting, arrangements for his de-
parture will proceed as rapidly as posi-
bic.
In the meantime, it is said that the
Planters Association has finally deter
mined 10 send man to the Philippines
for laborers, although neither o. A.
Stevens nor Manager Fairchild of the
Makee Sugar Company will be the man.
The Alameda yesterday also brought
the news that Joe. Marsden is going to
Porto Rico for more laborers. Marsden
Himself is given as authority for this
statement.
That the Japanese are fully alive to
all that is going on in the labor world,
and to n few things that are not per-
kaps, is shown by the fact that the Ha-
waii Shinpo of yesterday, on the arri-
val of the steamer China from the ORR
sut, blszed out with its whole first page
devoted to letters from its correspond
snts in Toxic, and to extracts from the
Japan papers dealing with the Hawaiian
labor problem, and the coming of jap
snesc to this Territory.
The Shinpo prints very prominently
q long extract from Yorozu Cboho, of
Toxic, from which this extract is made.
the matter being printed on the English
page of Shinpo:
s'The Hawaiian planters send their
representative to Washington every
year, and endeavor by skilful move
nent among government officials and
che legislators to repeal the Chinese ex-
alusiOm laws, or to pass law allowing
chem TO import contract labor; and they
have eudeavored to introduce Portu-
guese and natives of the West Indian
Islands But these efforts have so far
proved unsuccessful. Now they have
changed their tactics and turned to-
ward the japanese government.

Siatiom with the japanese government
IRE: To ask the Japanese government
10 stop her subjects in Hawaii from
migrating TO the States; and to enter
INTO q special treaty with the japanese
government through the Territorial I'm
migration Bureau in order to secure
more immigrants from Japan: the final
object being to increase the supply of
labor and to decrease the demand there
for correspondingly and that to lower
wages. This Immigration Board il
supported by local taxation and by the
contributions of the planters. This is
ID only in appearance. The board is, in
fact, entirely supported by the planters,
and is their organ. When Mr.. Swanzy,
president of the Planters Association,
ewas here last year, he secured inter
views with the Foreign Office officials
through the introduction of Mr.. Deni-
snn (American adviser of the Korean
guvernment>. For aught we know, he
could not secure any definite result
from the interviews Again the policy
was changed, and by skilful manipula
non, by abetting small merchants anC
hotel keepers of Honolulu. who are, OF
course, interested in the increased in
fow of laborers, the planters have made
grand assault upon the japanese emf
grafton companies and the limitations
placed upon the number of emigrants e
Hawaii, and are demanding the remova,
of the limitation. Besides, the planters
are reported to be stretching theil
hands in the direction of the japanese
Foreign Office and busying in those who
had been in Hawaii as agents of vari
Gus japanese emigration companies, anC
in other ways they are making in secret
4 very strenuous effort in Toxic. The
time is not far distant when the Ha.
~aiian emigration will see grea
change"
Following this are two long letters
from the Shinpo's correspondent in
lIohl lHtSt ptl dElaplis
are taken:
According to the first plan, branch
of the Territorial Immigration Burear
VIII be established in Japan, which
VIII do recruiting and assisting of thu
emigrants to Hawaii; and the emigran
will be compelled to sign a contrac
whereby he will barter away his lib
erty, by agreeing to place himself a
the disposal OF the immigration Blu
seau at and after arrival there: thi
contract is expected to secure the sane
ZION OF the Japanese Government. TIL
result OF this arrangement will be I
completely sever the emlgrants' com
nection with the emigration com
panies: but there will also grow a ne'
order of emigration company. who's
business IL would be to recruit la
borers for the government of the Tel
rit0ry OF Hawaii A move To get thi
privilege has been commenced by III
Central Emigrants Dealers Associa
