Yong Tan was put on trial for per
day morning. The offense was alleged
to have been committed in an investi-
cation by the immigration officials of

when he swore to the ownership of
property in Manoa valley. j. j.
Dunno, Assistant District Attorney, APP
peared for the prosecution, and E. a.
Mott-Smith and c. R. Hemenway for
the defense.
The jury empaneled consisted of Sam.
Kaaloa, c. T. Rodgers, c. J. Campbell,
w. L. Hopper, Neil Boyle, VIM. A.
Dickson, Henry C. Sheldon, F. C. Enos,
David F. Thrum and Frank E. Blake.
There was a long contest in the
middle OF the day, the jury being ex-
cused, on objection of the defense to
the admission of bill of sale of the
property in question as evidence.
Judge Dole after recess ruled it to be
admissible.
1t was in connection with Yong
Tan s application that another Chinese
was acquitted of perjury few days ago,
by directed verdict, because the court
entertained doubt that the officials
had a right to examine any person but
a principal in such a matter under
oath
The relevancy of the bill of sale was
in the showing that Yong Tan swore
it was executed to him in August, 1905,
while on its face it appeared to have
not been executed until March, 1906.
Hence the prosecutors theory is that
it is Fictitious document got up for
the purpose of giving the applicant a
false qualification for receiving a re-
turn permit.
The trial is still on.
COUNSEL FOR KNUST.
Geo. D. Gear was appointed as coun-
sci for Edward Knust, indicted for
fraudulent use of United States mails,
by Judge Dole yesterday morning. 1t
had been shown that defendant con-
veyed property to his stepdaughter on
October 10 last, as evidence that he
was too poor to employ counsel. Knust's
alleged misuse of the mail was in con-
nection with traffic in a bogus whisky
recipe.

only way in which it is possible to

The value of the water products
taken and sold by United States fisher
men in 1905 was approximately $685.
100000, and this sum is exclusive of
the considerable fisheries of insular
possessions and, the immense guam
titles of fish taken for home consump-
ton and by sportsmen. The number
OF persons who make livelihood in
this industry is about $4,000 and the
capital invested exceeds $S2,0O0,000.
The most valuable of all the fishery
products is the oyster, in the output
of which the United States surpasses
all other countries combined. The
crop of 1905 may be placed at 32,OOO,-
600 bushels. with a market value of
$15,760,O00. Virginia has recently as
sumed the first rank as an oyster pro-
ducing state. owing chiefly to the more
general practice of oyster farming, the
states Weld being now upward of
S.5000,000 bushels. with value to the
producers of $3.250.000.
The great high-sea fisheries for cod,
haddock, hake. halibut, mackerel. her.
ring, and other well-known food fishes
have been fairly successful as whole
and have yielded about s7.5O0.OOO. The
take of mackerel was less than in any
of the four preceding years. The sud-
den decrease in the abundance of this
fish beginning in 1886 and continuing
to the present time is one of the most
remarkable cases of the kind.
Swordfish were probably never
known to be so abundant as in the
summer and fall of 1904 and large
numbers were captured for the New
England markets.
The lobster fishery continues to
show diminishing yield. with a dis
prop0rtionate increase in value. In
1905 the catch was less than in the
previous years and on the Massachu-
sets coast was particularly light. The

OF the Monroe doctrine and it's an
nouncement of its intentions as to the
canal route would both be absurd on
their face II the nation failed to do its
duty In maintaining a thoroughly eff
cient navy at as high point of perfec-
ton as can possibly be attained.
Our external affairs are important.
but our internal affairs are even more
important; and no other congress for
many long year has, as regards the
betterment of our internal affairs, SO
much and such excellent work to its
credit. The tremendous social and
Industrial changes in our nation have
rendered evident the needs of the
larger exercise by the national gov
eminent of its power to deal with the
business use of wealth, and especially
of corporate wealth, in interstate busi-
ness. 1t Is not too much to say that
the course of congress within the last
few years, and the hearty agreement
between the executive and legislative
departments of the nation in taking
the needed action each within it's own
sphere, have resulted in the nation
for the first time definitely entering
upon the career of proper performance
OF duty In these matters. The task Is
peculiarly difficult, because it is one
IN which the fanatical or foolish. ex-
tremist, and the reactionary, whether
honest or dishonest, play into one
another's hands; and they thereby
render 1t especially hard to secure
legislative action which shall be
thorough-gOing and effective, and vet
which shall not needlessly leopard
lie the business prosperity which we
all share, even though we do not all
share 1t with as much equality as we
are striving to secure.
1T is a very easy thing to play the
demagogue In this matter, to confine
ones self merely to denouncing the
evils of wealth, and to advocate, often
IN vague language, measures so sweep
ing that while they would entirely
fail to correct the evils aimed at, they
would undoubtedly succeed in bring
ing down the prosperity of the nation
with crash. 1t is also easy to play
the part of the mere obstructionist;
to decline to recognize the great evils
OF the present system, and to oppose
any effort to deal with them in ration
al fashion-thereby Strengthening i'm
mensely the hands of those who adj
vocate extreme and foolish measures.
But it is not easy to do as the
present congress and it's immediate
predecessors have done; that is, stern
ly to disregard alike the self interest
of those who have profited by the
present evils, and the wild clamor of
those who care less to do away with
them than to make a reputation with
the unthinking of standing in extreme
opposition to them. But this is pre-
cisely what the present congress has
done. Instead of enacting antitrust
laws which were either so vague or SO
sweeping as completely to defeat their
own objects, it has given us an inter-
state commerce law which will enable
us to exercise in thorough fashion
supervision over the common carriers
of this country, SO as, while scrupu-
lousy safeguarding their proper inter-
ests, to prevent them from charging
excessive rates; to prevent their favor
ing one man at the expense of another,
and especially strong man at the ex-

I'm affairs outside Of our own coun-
try our great work has been beginning
to dig the Panama Canal. The acqui-
sition of the canal strip was due to
the initiative of congress; and the
fact that the work thereon Is now be-
ing done IN the most thorough and
satisfactory fashion, is due to the
action of the present congress at the
session just closed. Only this action
rendered the work possible and the
hearttest ACCOMPLISHMENTS are due to
the far-seeing patriotism of those who
thus made 1t possible.
The digging of the Panama Canal
Is the colossal engineering feat of all
the ages No task as great of the kind
has ever been undertaken by any other
nation. The interests banded together
to oppose 1t were and are numerous
and bitter, and most of them with q
peculiarly sinister basis for their op-
position. This sinister opposition
rarely indeed ventures openly to an
nounce its antagonism to the canal as
such. Sometimes it takes the form of
baseless accusations against the man
agement and of demand for an inves-
tigation under circumstances which
would mean indefinite delay. Some
times it takes the form of determined
opposition to the adoption of plans
which will enable the work to be done
not merely in the best, but in the
quickest possible way.
Had congress been either timid or
corrupt, and had not the leaders of
congress shown. the most far-sighted
resolution in the matter, the work of
building the canal would never have
been begun. or If begun, would now
have halted. The opposition to the
adoption of the treaty by which our
right to build the Panama Canal was
secured; a part at least of the opposi-
ton even now being made. to the
ratification of the Santo Domingo
treaty, which is one more step in the
effort to make peaceful and secure the
waters through which the route of the
canal leads; the constant effort to de-
lay on one pretext and another the
actual work on the canal-all prove
how essential it is that if the Ameri-
can people desire the Panama Canal
to be built in speedy and efficient
fashion they should uphold the hands
of those who in the present congress
have SO effectively championed the
work.
mo less praiseworthy has been the
attitude of this congress in continuing
to build and maintain on high plane
of efficiency the United States navy.
This country is irrevocably committed
to the maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine. It is irrevocably committed to
the principle of defending and policing
the canal route. But it's championship

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 10, 1906.
my Dear Mr.. Watson:
II hear through Speaker Cannon
and Representative Sherman that you
have volunteered to give your services
to the congressional committee for the
entire campaign, without regard to the
effect 1t may have upon your canvass
In your own district; and l feel like
writing you word of congratulation
and of earnest hope for the success of
your efforts.
IF there were only partisan issues
involved In this contest should hest
tate to say anything publicly in refer
ence thereto. But do not feel that
such 10 the case. On the contrary,
feel that all good citizens who have
the welfare of America at heart should
appreciate the immense amount that
has been accomplished by the present
congress, organized as 1t is, and the
urgent need of keeping this organiza-
ton in power.
with Mr.. Cannon as Speaker, the
house has accomplished q literally
phenomenal amount of good work. It
has shown a courage, good sense and
patriotism that 1t would be real and
serious misfortune for the country to
fail to recognize. To change the lead
ership and organization of the house
at this time means to bring confusion
upon those who have been successfully
engaged in the steady working out of a
great and comprehensive scheme for
the betterment of our social, Industrial
and civic conditions. Such a change
would substitute a purposeless cOnfu-
sion, violent and hurtful oscillation
between the positions of the extreme
radical and the extreme reactionary
for the present orderly progress along
the lines of carefully thought-out
policy.
"The interests of this nationa are as
varied as they are vast. Congress must
take account not of one national need,
but of many and widely different
national needs: and speak with his
toric accuracy when I say that not in
our time has any other congress done
so we'll In so, many different fields of
endeavor as the present congress has
done. No congress can do everything.
Still less can it in one session meet
every need. At its first session the
present congress, in addition to the
many tasks it actually completed,
undertook several tasks which firmly
believe it will bring to completion in
its second session next winter.
Among these l hope and believe
that the bills to prohibit political con-
tributions by corporations and to lower
the duties on imports from the Philip
pine Islands, each of which has been
passed by one house, will be enacted
into law. l hope, and have reason to
believe, that favorable action will be
