JAPAN's ADVANTAGE.

From the Washington Post.
at would not be fair to say that the
unfortunate incident in the Pribilof Is

a quarrel with the United tSates," said
Captain Hobson at the New Willard last
night :" for investigation will probably
show that 1t was the act of fishermen
seeking seals in defiance of law and that
no Interior purpose was behind IL.
IF however the Japanese government
were to take 1t up and make 1T the pre-
text of a quarrel with us and the affair
reached a critical stage, Japan would
have the advantage in every way. WHAT

this country now is the time for her to
have 1t out, and II we got into fight
with her she could easily take the Phil
ippines.
I'VE have neglected our opportunities in
those islands Eight years have passed
and we have done nothing lolxing to their
defense. Without a proper naval base
there we cannot maintain our prestige in
the Orient if any one seeks to contest 1t

A WHALING COLLAPSE.
The Newfoundland Industry Is Prae-
tically Dead.

ct. Johns (Newfoundland) correspon-
dence London Mail
In the history of modern industrial en-
terprise no collapse has been more re-
markable. even though on a small scale,
than that of the whaling industry in New
foundland. Inaugurated in 1898 1t shortly
attained enormous magnitude, out is now
In the throes of dissolution.
Modern whaling, as practced in New
foundland. represents the chase of the
rora1a1 or racer whale, the specifies
of all the tribe of cetaceans, and one
which hitherto could not be pursued be-
cause of his alertness and speed. Today
this whale is chased by small but SWIFT
steamers of about 100 tons burden on
the bow of which is mounted a small NOR
tarlil1e cannon, which by time-fuse fires
a harpoon with an explosive head. This
weapon. a substitute for the hand har-
poon formerly used, usually bursts in the
interior of the whale, killing 1t almost
instantly.
These steamers operate from stations
along the coast and kill their prey within
the radius of a days run, whereas old
time whalers made long voyages of
months and sometimes years. The new
method provides factories at suitable
points on the coast, to which the whales
are brought WHen hllleu, W ne cut up
every morsel OF the gigantic body being
turned to some commercial use. The fat
is converted into oil, the flesh in it's
primer parts is used as an article OF food,
being turned into sausases, Drawn and
canned meats and the coarser portions IN
to extract of meat; the refuse becomes
guano or fertilizer. The skeleton bones
are ground up and made into unbreakable
crockeryware, the skin of the intestines
is converted into leather. and the fluids
of the body into glue
With all these possibilities 1t would seem
as IL the Industry could not fail. It's col
lapse. however. is due to over-develop-
ment Of the business. The enterprise
started In 1898 with one steamer and one
factory. and within two years had be-
come SO successful that 1t was paying
dividends of 80 per cent. This induced
another company to start. with equal sue

Shame of American Civilization.

II. G.. Wells. in Harper's Weekly.
Just think Of 1t: this richest, greatest
country the world has ever seen has over
100000 children under 10 years of age
toiling in fields, factories. mines and work
shops. And Robert Hunter tells me of
mot less than $1,000 children, most of
whom are little girls, at present en-
ployed In the textile mills of this eoun-
try. In the south there are now six times
many children at work as there were
twenty years ago. Child labor is increas-
ing yearly IN that section of the country.
Each year more little ones are brought in
from the fields. and hills to live in the
degrading atmosphere Of the mill towns"

So far as our purpose of casting a horo-

this as affecting the future. these working

cess, and soon the development of the
industry took on the character of a craze
pure and simple. Everybody wanted to
invest in the whaling industry, and COM
panles were organized every day. The
legislature then interviewed, and enacted
a measure for the regulation of the in
dustry. 1t divided the coast into fifty
mile sections, within which only one
steamer and one factory were to be al
lowed to operate, while there were other
limitations against excessive fishing which
tended to keep the industry within rea-
sonable bounds.
Directly this legislation was outlined
spectators began to secure sites within
these areas, and the sites, obtained fire.
quently for nothing. were then sold to
whaling companies for large amounts
The holders OF the sites declined to take
cash payments, demanding stock instead.
because of the large dividends which they
felt certain would be earned The BUSH
ness grew SO rapidly that in 1905 no fewer
than seventeen steamers with as many
factories, were in operation round the
coast of Newfoundland, the aggregate
capitalization being about G300,000.
At this point disaster befell them, fore
warning of which had been given the pre-
vious year. but without attracting seri-
Gus attention. The catch of whales grad
but whereas a kill of GOO or 700 whales
for four steamers meant a substantial
profit a kill of 1000 1900 whales by ten
or twelve steamers presaged serious loss
In 1904 most of the companies paid but
small dividends and in 1905 four new
steamers were introduced. the result be-
Ing that all were faced with heavy defi-
cts when operations closed at the end of
the year. The season was a bad one
and the price of oil. because of oversup-
ply from Norway and Newfoundland
had dropped considerably, declining from
G25 to G12 a ton in three years. The
catch, moreover. was very small, totalling
not over 1000 whales for the seventeen
steamers employed.
1t is easy to understand what the re-
suits of such operations must be. With
few exceptions the companies had to go
into voluntary liquidation. So serious had
the situation become because of its i'm
portant bearing on the general business
of the colony that representatives of the
whaling concerns waited upon the gov
eminent asking for remission of the IL
cense fees-amounting to some 900 per
annum for every steamer and factory
and such amendments In the whaling
laws as would enable them to operate in
future years without having to meet such
a heavy obligation, as otherwise the in
dustry would have to be abandoned en-
tirely: and the government has under
taken to amend the statute In such fash
ion as to meet the altered conditions
Probably not more than 10000 Of the
goo coo invested in the industry has been
lost entirely the original companies be-
ing still in position to keep above water.

nation could retake them. We can do
nothing in the Orient with navy work
ing from our Pacific coast. Hawaii affords
us little, If any, advantage; we have erect
ed a few fortiications there, but nothing
like a naval base, and II the day comes
that we lose the Philippines through our
failure to take the proper precautions, we
might as well give up all hope of develop
Ing our trade with China and the Orient.
This incident may or it may not be
come matter of diplomacy. Be that as
1t may, it emphasizes the fact that II the
United States intends to maintain the posi-
ton of a world power, upon which policy
it seems to have entered, we cannot do IL
unless we put ourselves in position TO
enforce our wishes and command the re-
spect that comes to those who are strong
enough to compel It,
II do not mean that the American navy
would not give a good account of itself In
fight with Japan, but we would not be
able to spare enough OF our navy from
the Atlantic to overcome the navy from
Japan so close to its home waters. 1t
would be impracticable to take all our
ships from the Atlantic, and without
naval base near Manila we would be vi
tally handicapped

though their dlvidend-paylng possibilities
are practically nil
The general effect of the collapse Of
the business of tho coloney Is very Sc
rious, the wiping out of large sum
is almost equal to the disastrous bank
crash" of eleven years ago, which
brought the country to the verge of flnan-
cial chaos. The stock in this industry WAS
held by all classes of people through
out the colony, even those in moderate
circumstances having been induced to en-
bark In the venture by the seeming GER
tainty of immense profits. The men who
sold sites for stock have. of course, lost
all that they might have had In cash.
Steps for the reorganization Of the COM
panles have already been taken. They
have been recapitalzed SO TO speak, the
original stockholders in most instances
providing sufficient funds to revive the
companies, by paying the amount of their
Indebtedness under the old regime But
prospects for the future are none too
rosy, even on this basis. A good many
ships will be employed and unless phe-
nomenally successful In their kill of
whales, 1t is difficult to see whence a
sufficient number be got TO meet the
expenses of carrying ON these companies.
II Is true that the cost of insurance Will
be reduced by the smaller capital but
none of the chief difficulties during the
past two years has been to secure suffi-
cient whales to meet the actual operat-
Ing expenses. with the price of whale oil
as low as 1t has been What seems really
essential Is that some of the steamers
should be got rid of and the business
carried on by smaller fleet
1t is the opinion Of many shrewd OBJ
servers that the only solution lies In the
formation of n whaling trust or eombin-
alton, which would acquire the entire
business, extinguish the less valuable
factories dispose of some OF the steam
ers, and carry on the enterprise by means
of the more successful factories and the
steamers thereby employed. To operate
effectively on these lines. repeal OF the
measure which forbids more than one
steamer operating in connection with any
one factory would be necessary. because
at certain periods of the year the fac
tories on the north and west coasts of the
island are blocked with Ice. those on the
south coast alone being accessible, and
a permit to use more than one steamer
at these factories during the winter
months would enable the kill to be largely
augmented This would, however. involve
the risk of the whales being more speed
lily exterminated-a fact which causes the
government to move with extreme deliber-
alton In the way of amending the present
statutes
AS the rorqual whales. however, are in
all probability as numerous as either
of the other species. and as they nave
not been hunted with anything like the
persistency with which the bowheads and
cachalots have been. 1t would seem as u
