Some important papers were filed yes

w. J. Lowrie against FL. P. Baldwin
and the Castles. They were filed in
connection with the motion of the
plaintiff for an order for the defend
ants to produce certain papers, a mo-
ton which came up before Judge Rob-

This motion asked for an order re-
auiring the defendants to produce what
the plaintiff described as the sssyndi
cate agreement for the purchase of
the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co.
stock, and the contract between Low
RE and the Castle Estate. Tt will be
remembered that Lowrie in his com
plant alleges hat this contract, for /

Roosevelt or Taft is the demand of
the Republicans of the great West and
Northwest. according to Oscar s.
s5traus. Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, who arrived in Chicago today
from the Hawaiian Islands, and who
mas been pursuing his course aeisurely
toward the East.
Beyond that one statement, however,
the secretary would not talk much of
politics.
1.-THE sentiment that have found in.
every section of the country / have
visited is an enthusiastic wish and de-
ternined desire for Roosevelt said
Mr.. Straus. '.and everybody knows of
the position the President had taken,
they all seemed to hope that condi-
tions would compel him to accept the
nomination. The only other name that
T heard in connection with the presi-
dency was Taft"
BUSINESS OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT.
Regarding his trip generally the sec
cretary was willing TO talk more freely,
and was enthusiastic over the condi-
tions-commercial and agricultural.

June 20 and from there went to Mon

to Vancouver, inspecting en- route the
offices at Montreal, Winnipeg, Van
couver and the intermediate staffs of |
the immigrant and steamboat inspec-
tion service.
From Vancouver I went down the |
sound to Tacoma and Seattle, and
thence to Portland and San Francisco. /
At each of these places I found the /
conditions of the immigrant service. /
the lighthouse service, the commercial I
affairs generally to be satisfactory. /

The riots against the Hindoo laborers

Hindoos are flocking to this country
in large numbers. They are accustom-
ed to live at the point of starvation,
and as laborers they win underbid not

Within a year or two the United
States viii be compelled by circum-
stances to adopt definite and de-
cisive policy toward Asiatic immigra-
tion and stick TO it. 1t is inevitable
that the policy of this government, no
matter whether it may displease other
powers. shall be one of exclusion. Stu
dents, tourists and other non-compet-
itors in the labor market may be ad-
anitted, but laborers must be kept out.
This policy will be forced on us by
fhe instinct of self-preservation. The
opposition to the Asiatic laborer
springs not from mere racial bigotry. |
but from clear perception that unre-
immigration of that kind will |
lead TO intolerable social and Industrial |
evils. TIE exclude japanese and Hin
doos may seem a harsh measure, but /
1t is better to adopt that measure, no
matter what it leads to. than to per-

I and he has addressed himself to the
work with energy.
From san Francisco I went to the
Hawaiian Islands, spending ten days
in Honolulu and vicinity, and found
conditions there encouraging and pros
porous. The chief industry is sugar,
to which recently has been added the
cultivation of pineapples. The finest
pineapples in the world are grown
there. They also have begun rubber
cultivation, and the indications are
that 1t win be an important industry.
AMERICAN SPIRIT IN ISLES.
.sThe American spirit dominates, and
the white people treat the natives with
great sympathy. A larger white pop
uhation is greatly desired in order to
keep the equilibrium. The islands need
closer connection with the mainland.
and the merchants there repeatedly
have presented their wishes that the
navigation laws might be amended
tempora rily until more frequent COM
munication by American bottoms can
be established proftably.
sFsI believe if tiIeapeopie Of this cot1n-
try were more familiar with the at
fractions of Hawaii large numbers of
tourists would go there and spend some
months during the winter as well as
during the summer. The climate the
whole year round is as attractive as
that of Egypt during the winter
months, and is far superior to the
Riviera, and more beautiful than Bar
Harbor.
COOP CHANCE FOR WORKERS.
t'Well-to-do American laborers, I /
think, would find it to their advantage |
to go there, as the territorial govern |
ment is desirous of giving them every /
facility TO establish themselves, espe-
eially those who follow agricultural |
pursuits, believe a new hand-weav- |
ing carpet industry could be establish I
ed there with profit and great success.
as the native Hawaiians have a great /
eye for color, which they have at I
tained in their basket-weav wing indus

There need be no more seven-day
steamer trips between this city and
San Francisco. according to a decision
| made by DR.. Carl Ramus of the Marine
Hospital Service, as the result of a
cable message received by him yester-
day from Acting Surgeon General A.
H. Giennan. The text of the cable re-
ceived was as follows:
Washington, D. c.
sDr. Carl Ramus.
You are authorized, if in your opin-
ion safe, to permit the landing of cabin
passengers on vessels disinfected in
San Francisco before the limit of seven
days.
a FL. GLENNAN,
acting Surgeon General"
When asked what view he would
take of the matter, since it had been
left to his discretion. DR.. Ramus said
that he would certainly allow the cabin |
passengers from the vessels to land, |
but that in the matter Of steerage pas
sengers it was different matter. The
cable message had not given any in
structions in this regard, and he would
not think 1t a wise plan to allow them
to land in less than the required PEE
Rod. He stated further that, while
he cabin passengers would be allow
ID to come ashore, they would have
o be transferred from the vessel out,
ide the harbor. as no steamer coming
lere in less than seven days would be =
allowed to dock in this port till the
week was up.
According to this plan, if one Of the
through steamers comes here, such as
he Maru boats, going to the Orient,
he may land her cabin passengers
nd mails without trouble, but steer
ge passengers viii have to stay on
oard till the seyen-day term is up
he passengers will have TO be placed
n board one Of the local tugs and
rought in here from outside the har-
or. In this way practically all risk
f infection from San Francisco viii
e avoided, as it is very unlikely that
abin passengers would have visited
ny locality where they might be sub !
ct to Infection from disease.
