TROUBLE AT PANAMA

The summons of Minister Squiers,
our representative at Panama. to
confer with the President and Secre-
tary Root is another evidence Of the
manifold troubles the country has
encountered In its effort to hold sis
ter republics within reasonable
bounds.
The election of President for the
Republic OF Panama is to take place
some time In July and the contest
for the high position Is becoming so
bitter that our Government may have
to interfere. Associated Press dis
patches picture the Panama situa-
ton as similar to that which existed
in Cuba before the second intervpn-
ton. This must mean that there are
not enough offices to go around, and
our Central American friends are
therefore much perturbed.
No doubt the trials of keeping the
small but important republics alive
cause our National leaders to feel
that the easiest way out Is to absorb
them and have 1t done with. The
country has not yet reached the
point, however. where 1t Is willing to
seriously consider so serious n diver
sion from our national policy of pa
ternal friendship.

CHASED BIG liner
CHINA IN A. TUG
c. G. White Missed His
Boat But Caught
Her In Stream

c. G. White, the pineapple man of
Maui, son of the manufacturer OF the
White steamer, who arrived In this
city this morning on the China, had Il
great experience when leaving San
Francisco this trip. And il was all
due to an automobile.
Mr.. White was at the steamer, and
his wife. with their little child, was
on the Oakland side, coming over In
an auto. But the auto got tire pune
tured, ferry boat was missed, and
the arrival of Mrs. White ut the wharf
delayed. Meanwhile Mr.. White was
pacing up and down the pier. with Il
watch in his hand, as the hour for
sailing drew nearer and nearer. Al
the last minute, he was iCrced to con.
clude that his wife was not coming.

signed himself to wait foi the next
steamer to Honolulu.
The lines We're cast OF, the China
moved out into the stream. Just rs
the gangplank came down, Mrs. White
arrived on the wharf, in Il frantic
hurry-too late.
The Maui man proved the existence
of his bump of resource. He got his
family and baggage on tug, and gave
chase to the big liner. so successfully
that he was among the arrivals this
morning.

MURAKAMI FUNERAL
AN IMPRESSIVE ONE

One of the largest funeral process
sions that Honolulu has witnessed
for some time past was that attend
ing the burial of the late 7. Mura-
kami, which took place yesterday af-
ternoon. All the japanese hacks and
q number of Chinese and other hacks,
numbering in all one hundred. were
used in the cortege. The deceased
was prominent figure in the Japan
csc community during his lifetime
and was well liked by his friends.
The procession started about 1880
p. m. from the store of deceased on
Hotel street, and proceeded to the
Jodo Mission on South street. near
Queen street. When the first car
riage reached the Buddhist temple.
the rear of the line of vehicles was
opposite the Capitol building.
Following the hearse were chill
dren carrying candles and banners.
Flowers were numerous and they
were carried to the temple by four
men. The japanese societies were
all represented and the members Of
tn Japanese Merchants Association,
of which the deceased was a menu
Der, turned out in body. each &C.
cupying special hacks.
The service at the temple occupied
nearly two hours, and was conduct
ed by High Priest Shimizu and
Priest Ito. clad in the picturesque
robes of their sect.
After the services the remains
were conveyed to Nuuanu cemetery
and there cremated. The ashes will
be taken to Japan by the widow
when she returns there.
T. Murakami came here as a con-
tract laborer about twenty years ago.
BY steady and careful attention to
business he became one of the most
prosperous business men In the Jap
anese community, enjoying the con-
fidence Of all with whom he came In
contact.
| Murakami died of heart failure on
May 10. He had been attending q
banquet at the Japanese clubhouse
and on his return he stopped at O
soda water stand on River street
where he secured glass of water
after which he died. He leaves Q

EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION CAUSE.

Commissioner Wheeler is preaching
the doctrine of European immigra-
tion without ceasing to his fellow
citizens Of the West Coast. A few
days ago his friends of San Francisco
rendered congratulatory dinner to
the Commissioner and the following
paragraphs epitomized the burden of
his message to the men on whom
rests the responsibility for the future
of Western America:
"A false impression prevails as to
the character and nature OF the class
OF immigrants that find their way to
this country. 1t is only small mi
nority that represent the criminal
element.
"The> majority of the foreigners
that come here are the flowers OF
their countries. They are the youths
who want to better themselves and
they come largely from the class that
takes to agricultural lines, and 1t is
upon this element the future devel-
opment Of this undeveloped western
United States depends.

NAIL SUBSIDY PLANK.

The proposal to incorporate mail
subsidy plank in the National Repub-
lican platform is a much more sensa-
tional feature Of the party program
for the coming campaign than a
blanket exclusion declaration against
the lower-class Oriental laborer.
Exclusion is not new to National
party platforms. Since Chinese ex-
clusion became a national political
necessity, the probability of a strict
rule against all laborers Of the ORR
ent has steadily increased. particu-
larry on account of the growing pow
err of organized labor.
The mail-subsidy fight, although
as old as Senator Frye's service in
the halls Of Congress, has been one
that has lacked straightforward
support from a united party. Year
In and year out the foreign ship
owners lobby and the interior
statesmen have played with the sup
porters Of the American merchant
marine. and each year has recorded
the disappearance of more American
ships from the ocean-carrying trade.
Platform planks have been plati-
tudes, resulting. AZ intended, in no
action.
or late, the struggle to support at
least mail line in the Atlantic and
the Pacific has been given every pro-
mise of success. but failed at the last
moment.
With the Republican party clearly
on record for the mail-carrying sub
sidy. the issue will be brought fairly
before the people. And this will fur
nish another good reason why the fu-
ture Of the country and of Hawaii In
particular is best served by the sue
cess OF the Republicans-unless the
Democrats should have the good
sense to join In platform plank of
the same tenor and make 1t unani-
nous.
