The Tucson (Ariz) Citizen says;
"If our Government is wise, prepara-

wealthy Californian whose home is In
Redlands. He has travelled extensive
ly and has just come to Tucson for the
benefit of his wife's health.
His observations in China and ia
pan have led him to the conclusion
that war between japan and the Unit
ed States is inevitable and that unless
the Government awakens to a full real
ization of the condition of affairs in
the Orient Uncle Sam will be caught
asleep by the why Jap.
Mr.. Werner was in Japan at the
time of the demonstration against E.

saw Secretary of War Tafts party
while they were in the Orient.

TRYING TO MAKE SILK.

A determined effort is being made at
the United States Agricultural Exper-
iment. Station to acclimate the silk
worm in Hawaii and make the produc-
tion of silk here commercial actu-
ality.. 1t is entirely possible, IL the
worms can be made to thrive, as the
mulberry tree grows most luxuri-
aEtly.
I'VE have just received an ounce of
silk worm eggs from the Bureau of
Entomology at Washington" said Mr..
Van Dine, who Is in charge of the To-
cal station In the absence of Jared
Smith on the mainland, yesterday
''These are of the Italian variety, a
harder kind than those we expert
mented with last year. This shipment
of eggs, in fact, is a continuation of
last years experiments. Those we had
chen were not hardy enough for this
climate, although the quality of their
product was very fine.
I'VE have concluded, now, to sacri-
fee quality to hardness, and see
whether the Italian variety will thrive
here. If this does not answer, we Will
proceed to breed variety of our own

by the way, there have been a
number of requests for silk worm eggs
sent in to the station in times past
There will be a limited number fol
public distribution from the present
shipment and If those who want then
will send in their applications early W,
will supply them"
There is really no reason, beyond
finding a variety of sllk-producing in
sect that will thrive, in this climate
why the production and manufacture
of silk should not become a CONNER
cial actually in the islands within the
next few years. silk is produced IN
many countries, and everywhere that

Dan II. Case, County Attorney for
Maui, and one of the delegation sent
by the business interests of the Ha-
waiian Islands to Washington to pre-
sent before the Senate and House
committees of Congress arguments
backing up President Roosevelt's rec
ommendation for a seventy-five per
cent. refund to the Territory OF
revenues accruing to the United States
therein, returned yesterday on the
Alameda, and while inclined to be
doubtful about the outcome of the ma t.
ter. yet he is hopeful for some measure
| of success
| Speaker Cannon of the House is the
only stumbling block in the way of
achievement, Mr.. Case thinks, and II
is on his attitude that he believes the
entire matter hinges. Just before leav
ing San Francisco, Mr.. Case received
a cablegram from George b. Mcclellan
secretary to Delegate Kalanianaole, in
answer to a telegraphic query sent the
day before. Mr.. McClellan's telegram
read:
More encouraging for five yeal
term. Committee considering. Enthu-
siasm lacking"
THAT means 75 per cent for five
years instead of twenty years." said
Mr.. Case. "or to shorten the term
rather than the amount. On the othei
hand, they might lessen the amount
and give it to us the full period We
asked We decided that it would not
be advisable to put forth an argu-
ment in favor of less amount.
There seems to be sentimen
among the senators and representative

nature of an experiment 1t is :

fishing such a precedent might be
serious. l think they realize that II
they pass the act at all it is better moi
TO commit themselves for such a Ions
period as twenty years. Yet ] believe
they can see no harm if the measure
is passed for, say, five years.
II infer from this telegram from
Mcclellan that Uncle Joe Cannon IL
strongly blocking the measure on the
twenty-year clause. He is conscien'
tious and he feels that we stand OF
the same footing as any other Terri
tory, or that we should not have any
special privileges that could not bt
extended to other Territories.
However, l think Speaker Cannon
is relenting. The committee does no
want to report, l infer, unless it sees
some sign of success. 1t doesn't wan
to report measures which may go by
default and they are feeling their wa.
very carefully.
Everyone we met in Washington
was very courteous to us and people
all over the country seemed to be anx
ious to get all the information possible

I'VE saw the President. His mannei
was cordial and he greeted us with hi
famous phrase, Delighted to see you.

for only a day, take a great deal o
