TELLS IF TRIP ID HAWAIIAN
 ISLANDS
Dr. Caven Returns From Our Possession in Pacific and Relates Some Interesting Facts About That Country.

Dr. c. L. Caven discussed entertain ingly with a Review representative yesterday his visit to the Hawaiian Islands, from which he returned Mon day evening, and related several char acteristics of the country and its peo- pie with which the public generally in the States have but little acquaint- ance.
 The climate is ideal. the doctor says varying from about 70 degrees during the night to perhaps so or S5 in the middle of the day, practically the same averages prevailing the year round, as there is no winter worth speaking of This, while enjoyable at first, becomes monotonous after few years, he says, and one residing there is glad to get away from the lassitude which is gen. erally felt
 The natives are a good natured. hap py-go-lucky lot, wanting but little in a material way and being decidedly in dolent. English is spoken every where, as the language was taught iD the public schools of that country long before it was annexed by the United States, and since then 1t has had a special place in the curriculum of the educational institutions of Hawaii
 That is no county for a small Am erican farmer, the doctor declares, as the American can not compete with the cheap labor there. Chinese can make satisfactory livings for them selves on few acres, but the Ameri- can who attempts to do so makes an utter failure. Sugar is still the domin- ant crop. though coffee Is now heing grown successfully with the cheap la bor, and the article produced there is remarkably good. Rubber culture is new industry on some of the islands, and while there has not yet been time to give the business sufficient test. the young trees which have been planted are growing well, and those engaged in the industry consider the prospect very good.
 The Porto Ricans who were taken to Hawaii few years ago to supply the demand for laborers, particularly on the sugar plantations, appear to have come nearer solving the labor problem than any other attempt which has been made. They assimilate with the natives and take readily to the duties and the customs of the country. A great many Portuguese have gone to Hawaii, but while they work well, they are 50 unreliable in other respects that they are not satisfactory to the natives. The Japs are also unpopular. though there are many there. They have taken so many advantages of the natives in business matters and have followed so many sharp practices that they are thoroughly disliked.
 The people there are for the most part entirely satisfied with annexa- ton, and while the political parties of the islands have. various issues, all agree to being governed by the United States
 Ex-Queen Liliouklani is still living though she is now an old woman. She has an unpretentious home in Homo lulu and lives in a modest manner, gC- ing about among the people without much regard to caste. She has be- come reconcfled to the loss of her throne, but she still claims that the lands which formerly belonged to the crown should be owned by her. The l United States nov hold these lands, leasing and selling them to individuals, and the deposed queen appears to have but little prospect of getting them. Dr. and Mrs. Caven were absent about seven weeks, during which they travelled over considerable portion of the Pacific coast.
