writes:
"These silent fittings of the King, TO
which he is greatly given have at times

10000 JAPANESE IN
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Passports Not Issued to United States
Proper-Hence, Emigrants Stop at
Hawaii Before Coming Here.

Washington December 24.-commis-
sioner General Sargent of the bureau of
immigration. who went to Honolulu at
the special request of President Roose-
velt to be present at the landing of the
Portuguese immigrants, called on the
President today.
There are probably $4,000 japanese in
the Hawaiin islands, said Mr.. Sargent,
"and they are arriving there at the rate
of from 600 to 1000 a month. The new
arrivals did not remain long on the is
lands, however. and soon go to the Pacific
coast. They are leaving in large num-
bers by each steamer. In the last twelve
months 1900 japanese have gone from
the Hawaiin islands to the mainland of
this country
Mr.. Sargent was asked why the Jap
anese first go to Hawaii. He explained It
by saying that as he understood the
case the japanese government does not
issue passports to the United States
proper as it is unaware whether its
citizens could get work here, but the
fact that there is a demand for laborers
in Hawaii induces the issue of pass
ports to them.
Mr. Sargent admitted there was con-
siderable feeling against the Japanese
in many portions of the island, as their
labor is cheaper and their merchants
are undersellng the American merchants
in the islands and taking away the trade
previously held by the latter with the
Japanese,

by spontaneous combustion. For a time
the entire business section of Marietta
was threatened, and Atlanta was called
on for aid, but before this was sent the
need for it had been passed. The fire
department was handicapped by an mad
equate water supply and by strong wind.
The loss on stock in the paper mill
is placed at 100000. and the damage to
the building $4,000.
At noon it was reported that the water

at the close of this day when he shall
come again. We wait for the joys 10

to rejoice. and be free. We express in
deeds of love and friendship on this day
the depth of our thankfulness the year

reassure friends of an affectionatc re-
membrance. The tiny postcard reaches
the heart as deeply as a jeweled crest.
The message conveys pleasure to others

The whole world is akin; the birthday of
