.NOEAU RESCUED
THREE JAPANESE
MEN HAD BEEN CAPSIZED OFF
HAWAII COAST FRIDAY AND
DEATH SEEMED CERTAIN.

News of the rescue of a trio of Jap
anese fishermen off the island of Ha-
wall was brought this morning blythe
steamer Noeau. The verBel was forced
by the heavy weather to leave Waipio
Gulch on the Hamakua coast last Fri
day. Ordinarily Waipio Gulch is a
haven of refuge for all vessels in that
part of Hawaii and whenever Waipio
gets too rough to afford a shelter for a
vessel, it means that the weather is
something out of the ordinary. Purser
Wilverton tells of the rescue of the
men and the state of the weather along
the Hamal1ua coast last week.
He says in his report that the wealth
err was so rough that it was necessary
for the vessel to get out of Waipio
Gulch and make for Hilo for shelter.
She left the Gulch last Friday and
while between Kukaiau and Ookala she
sighted three Japanese clinging to the
bottom of an up-turned fishing sampan.
The men We're within $50 feet of the
rocks at the time and had the steamer
not come along, it is certain that the
men would have been washed off their
boat or else been swept on to the rockn.
The cliffs rise to a height of about 100
feet at that point and nothing could
have saved the men had they been
swept toward the shore. Fortunately
the Noeau rescued the trio and took
them to Hilo. The wind was blowing q
hurricane when she left the gulch
The island schooner LaVinia and Ka-
uikeaouli were at Hilo last week hav-
ing been driven by the storm to seek
shelter at Hilo.

OR the first time since the
- foundation of the great
American republic its chief
executive has passed beyond
It's boundary and is sojourning in
foreign country If the present ad-
ministration had nothing else in the
shape of initiative to its credit this
novel and radical action on the part oil
it's head would distinguish it from all
its predecessors
For it has not always been the Gus
tom of our presidents ito wander far
afeId'' Until the time Of Andrew
johnson it had been the policy Of the
tenants of the White House to keep
within sight of the great dome of the
national capitol during the four short
years of their elevation. That they
fulfilled the popular expectation by so
doing is evident from the storm of dis
sent which made itself felt in all quar-
ters when Mr. Johnson undertook mis-
historicf.swing around the circle"
All that is ancient history. and the
present generation is quite reconciled
to have it so. It matters little to the
up to date American citizen whether
the presidential veto is Illuminated at
Washington or from the most undis-
covered spot in the land. An official
act done in the big game country is
as binding as if it were signed in the
new business offices at the executive
mansion.
IntEurope it is quite the fashion for
executives to pay visits to other coun-
tries It is only the pope who remains
at home. The majority of the reign
fad nv los of
blood that there is abundant excuse
fer royal junketing abroad. The fami-
Iy reunions Of the house of Denmark
attracted royal guests from several
courts and there is scarcely a crowned
head on the continent that has not paid
a visit to "Albion's perfidious shores"
These visits Of ceremony are made for
various reasons, some of state and
others of private concern, but when
royalty goes to Paris no reason is de-
nanded. The City OF Light is reason
enough in itself Even the shah and
he rajah and the nawab visit it for
is own sweet sake
Seriously there is no valid reason
why the president should not have gone

nellent reason why he should have done
precisely as he has There are mat
Eers Of vital interest to the American
people now under way in that connect
ing neck Of land. and the administra-
ton is committed to the task of seeing
to it that the project of the great in
eroceanic canal shall not be ship
wrecked for the need OF a competent
pilot.
The necessity of American super

waterway is no longer a matter of

his mind to put a stop to the ruinous
policy of perpetual revolution to which
the isthmus was committed Had he
been inclined to be INSCRIPTIONS, ANA
dor would have been dangerous lead
er for the Panamas. It was at a mo-
ment when the American interest in
the canal had reached a climax. and il
demanded the most diplomatic and
patriotic effort. Happily for his peo-
pie, Amador was equal to the emer-
gency.
The president of Panama was a prac-
ticing physician up to the time of his
Inauguration, and 1t is reported that he
is still called in consultation by his
professional brethren on the isthmus-
He is a man of decided opinions. and
he does not hesitate to speak his mind
on all occasions. He is also a man Of
exceptional attachments and is re-
garded as a marvel of erudition by his
compatriots. Even before his entry in
to active politics he had acquired the
prestige of a leader. Although de-
vout member of the Roman Catholic
church. he had long been a Liberal
and a strenuous opponent of the union
of church and state.
BY birth and position the Amadors
belonged to the Conservatfves-the
rich old families Of the isthmus which
were dominated by the. clerical infiu-
ence and were slow in adopting meas
ures that savored of modern advance
ment DR.. Amador was of a different
sort. He was a firm adherent to lib
eraI doctrine of the rational kind, and
he allied himself with the revolution
lists when the opportunity seemed
promising. Strange to tell, he lost
neither social prestige nor professional
pre-eminence by his action. Only
once was he forced by the instinct Of
self preservation to fee.
On this occasion the aged revolution
list eluded the vigilance Of the enemy
by permitting himself to be packed in
a lard barrel and conveyed across the
isthmus as freight. 1t was decidedly
unromantic, but the doctor accepted it
as the only avenue of escape that
looked feasible. His political enemies
had determined to make an example Of
him for the benefit of less important
Liberals. At the present time all Pa
mama reverences his name. To the
average Panaman President Amador is
combination of all that is admirable
"a patriarch of unspotted reputation,
an educated thinker, safe and con-
sentative in his views. connected by
birth or marriage with all the leading
families of the isthmus and the one
who risked, as a man of wealth and
position, more than did any other citi-
zen Of the republic in bringing it to its
present hourishing condition.
This is the fortunate Panaman to
whom in his old age has fallen the
distinction of entertaining the first
president of the United STAKES who has
ever been a guest in foreign country.
If all the complimentary things said Of
the patriarch are true. he deserves the
honor and all that it implies.

vided and a larger attempt at colon
izatiOn will follow.
Already six or eight small Japanese
colonies in Texas are doing well, SO
well, indeed, that the inhabitants of the
overcrowded little kingdom now look
upon colonization in America as the
most promising relief from their con
gestion. The total area of the uncul-
tivated section in which the little
brown folk have settled is larger than
Japan Until recently it had been
used for grazing purposes only. but it
is now known to be a region particu-
larly adapted to agriculture. The soil
is so rich, in fact, that it will not be
necessary to use fertilizers for several
years. The purpose of the land syn
dictate is to expend 100000 in i'm

Mouth OF Canal ot Atlantic End

PEELED him to feel so keen an interest.
Moreover, it is not absolutely correct
to say that the president is in a for
eign country. When he is within the
canal zone five miles on either side of
the isthmian waterway, he is as GER
tainly on American soil as if he stood
within the limits of his Long Island
homestead. The so called canal zone"
is the property Of the United States in
perpetuity. and it is as legitimatefy a
part of the republic as is any one of
the remote Pacific islands that have
come into Uncle Sans possession.
Of course the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt have not permitted prece-
dent to hamper them in their determi-
nation to extract as much comfort out
OF Panama as possible. No one who
has visited the isthmus has returned

attire it is not region in which one

It goes without saying that the canal

to Panama to put everything in good

is evident also that DR.. Manuel ANA

Stunning shape under the auspices Of a

1900 Japan sent agents to America to
select and to secure choice tracts Of
land in the great southwest on which
colonists might establish agricultural
communities Last year a large syn
dictate of wealthy and prominent ia
panese was formed to plant colonies in

man who was educated in European
schools, came to America as the rep

to all classes. Least of all. would one
look for its manifestation in a restau-
rateur, but it is fact that If an
American who had not the appearance
of a gentleman should enter a Japa-
nese restaurant in one of our large
where there are several-and demand
to be served he would meet with a po-
lite, but decided refusal.
There is also a wide difference be-
tween the Japanese gentleman and the
japanese commoner. Such a sharp line
is drawn between the two classes that
they rarely come in contact. In point
of fact, however, there is not so inn
passable a chasm between the upper
and the lower class Japanese as divides
the mandarin from the cody. This is
because there is no Jap, in America at
least, who is not Infinitely superior to
the Chinese cody.
The japanese colony in New York
numbers less than 1000, and it's menu
bers are nearly all men. There are
perhaps a dozen women and about as
many children The Japanese. like his
slant eyed brother from the Asiatic
mainland, does not come to America
with a household. Many of the Japa-
nese in the Atlantic coast cities are
students who have been led by their
admiration for western civilization to
come to this country to be remodeled
after American ways. There is not the
slightest doubt that the Japanese as a
nation have patterned more closely aft
er US than after European models.
A homely illustration of this tend
ency to adopt American ways of do
ing is afforded by the fact that Japan
was the first foreign nation to accept
our national game Of baseball A nine
organized by the students of Waseda
university visited US and showed them
selves to be true enthusiasts. The
game has become very popular in the
kingdom, although it has never sur
vived any other transplantation. Quite
as indicative OF the esteem in which
we are held by our oriental disciples is
the confidence with which so many
young Japanese of both sexes have
been placed by the government in our
institutions of learning.

URING the marvelously heroic
struggle of the Japanese
against Muscovite aggression
in the far east the plucky lit
tie Asiatics received the moral support
of American sympathy in its most IN
reserved expression. That it was ap-
preciated to its fullest value by the
mikado and his subjects there is not
the slightest reason to doubt. Until
the close of the peace proceedings at
Portsmouth there had been no loss Of
American prestige in Japan Through
out the kingdom we We're regarded as
1.-THE favored nation"
Immediately on the return of the
peace commissioners to Tokyo it came
to US almost as a shock that the terms
of the treaty were unpopular among
the masses Of the japanese population
and that American intermeddlinss was
credited with the unsatisfactory result
1t soon became apparent, however. that
this view of the matter was not taken
by the Japanese official world, but was
held only by the rank and file The
friendly relations between the two
countries were not disturbed by the in
cident.
But trouble of a different nature was
brewing. There was a revival of the
yellow peru discussion and loud pro-
test against further additions to our
population from oriental sources. In
our discrimination we included the
japanese. who do not deny that thew
are orientals. but wish it understood
distinctly that they are orientals of a
very superior brand, a fact which no
body viii question. The most unnais-
taxable example of this race discrimi-
nation was the action of the board of
education of the county and city of
San Francisco in providing a separate
school for japanese children.
The position taken by the board was
easily defensible. 1t was also in strict
conformity with the state law. It was
claimed also that majority of the
Japanese pupils consisted of men he
tween twenty and thirty years of age
Native Americans of the same age
would not be permitted to attend the
public schools for young boys and girls
and the board saw no other wav ont
of the difficulty than to provide a
separate school for the japanese. of
whom there are upward of 500. This
solution was unsatisfactory to the mi

ambassador, the accomplished Wis

WHERE RAIN NEVER FALLs.

Peru has hundreds of square miles
along its coast of rainless country. In
this tract rain is never known to fall
from one century's end to another Yet
the region is not entirely barren Of
vegetation. Some parts Of it, indeed,
are comparatively fertile. This is due
to the extraordinary fogs known as
"garuas." They prevail every night
from May to October after a summer

becomes a plumber, a cabinetmaker, a
merchant or restaurant keeper
When he accepts a position he has
fashion of stipulating for the right to
study or to attend evening schools
This is one Of the great objections
urged by the Californians against
their japanese servants-they want to
leave their work to attend school.
It must be remembered also that the
Japanese are exclusive and that they
are exceedingly particular as to the
companions they select. Before a Jap
admits one to friendship or even ac-
quaintance he subjects the aspirant to
the most careful and delicate scrutiny
This racial popularity seems to extend
