authority to make a favorable report

Preparing for Pineapple Trade.

and the fleet of clipper bay vessels which
will engage in the service is now being
prepared for the work In the fleet so far
selected by the importers of the fruit are
the wellknown schooners Venus, Kate
Darlington. Flora Kirwan. Blackbird,
Clemmie Travers. Ruby and Bessie and
Levi 8. Phillips. The majority of these
vessels small two-masted schooners,
carrying less than a hundred thousand feet
of lumber, and look too small for trip on
the Atlantic. The schooner Flora Kirwan,
which will be employed in the carrying of
the luscious fruit, is only so feet long, %
feet beam and SO feet deep She has a
good carrying capacity, and, like the others
of the fleet, is able to get over the water
at good speed. Most of the vessels named
are frequent visitors to this city with lum-
Der and other cargoes. In addition to the
fleet named, II is stated that a number of
small vessels flying the British flag will
also be in service in the pineapple fleet from
Nassau and other ports in the islands.

ment. but who had no intention of stop
ping there, and all of whom declared their
determinat ton to come eventually to the
United States. There are probably hve
hundred Japanese now working on the
Mexican side of the border, all of whom
are headed for the United States, and who
are drifting across in small parties at varl-
Gus unprotected points. Almost every VII
lage from Ell Paso to the gulf on the Next
can side of the line has a small collection
of Japanese awaiting the first opportunity
to slip across. Such men are arrested ana
deported whenever they are caught, but II
is hard to detect them sometimes after they
reach the United States, and utterly impos-
sibIe to keep them from coming across the
border if they so desire.
An effort is being made 20 negotiate a
new immigration treaty with the Mexican
government and to install American in
spectors at the Mexican ports of entry to
pass on immigrants destined to the United
States. This system has been in operation
with decided success in Canada for some
years, but so far 1T has not been adopted
by Mexico. A new system of evasion has
been practiced by the japanese since the
practical exclusion law went into effect
recently 1t Is to enter the United States
by way of San Francisco on passports for
either Mexico or Canada and to go in
transit to Laredo or Vancouver and thence
double back into the United States as soon
as they. have gone over the line. This is
another scheme that is very hard to cir
cumvent, and the immigration bureau can
cope with 1t only through a very large ex-
tension of its inspecting force.

MORE LABOR FOR HAWAII
Inducing European immigration on
an Extensive Scale.

Hawaii is preparing to induce European
immigration on an extensive scale Appli-
cation was made to the bureau of immi-
grafton in Washington for the services of
an inspector to go to Madeira to supern-
tend the embarkation of a ship load of
immigrants who will sail from there on
the kumeric. Mr. Hendrick the inspector
will be temporarily detached from the inn
migration bureau for this special service.
Word was received this morning that the
steamer Heliopolis had cleared from Cardiff
for Spain. where she will embark 1000
immigrants for Hawaii These are prin-
cipally all farm laborers,. and work is
awaiting them on the plantations as soon
as they arrive.
grafton Inspector Raymond Moran at
Hawaii on the condition of the Portuguese
immigrants who arrived there on the
steamer Suvertc in December. He says
that there are 1914 families and 90 single
men settled on the Island of Oahu and 50
families and 81 single men on Hawaii. The
rest of the immigrants in this party are
about equally distributed between the is
lands of Many and Kauai Mr. Moran
says that he has visited several of their
settlements and found them in good sani-
tary condition, with the women employed
about the houses and garden patches and
the men In field work for the neighboring
plantations Nearly all of these immi-
grants also are agricultural laborers, but
three or four of them have been carpen-
tiers and stone masons, and are at work at
their trades. There have been very few
complaints to the immigration authorities
from these newcomers and their employers
appear to be about as well satisfied with
them as the immigrants themselves are
satisfied with their surroundings.
