AMBASSADOR AOKI.

II is a matter of regret that Am
bassador Aoki is unable to make a
longer stay in this city. Mr.. Aoki is
one Of the men OF Japan who can be
depended upon to foster the best OF
goodwill between our country anu
his own. He understands the men
of the occident as well as he does his
own people, and has undoubtedly ex-
erted an excellent influence in re-
ducing to minimum the misunder-
standings that arise from Unborn
race prejudices, so hard to control.
Here in Hawaii the problems result.
ing from the meeting of the Occident
and the Orient are being practically
worked out along the lines which
Ambassador Aoki has favored. Ana
although the radicals on either side
may not be entirely pleased, the con-
sentative principle is more likely to
prevail.

ambassador lands at Japan, but
whether the decision will be favorable
to the local Japanese or not cannot
say"
Mr.. Iwokoshi continued that the
Ambassador was greatly pleased with
the beautiful scenery Of Hawaii.
I'VE were out driving" continued
Iwakoshi. and were much impressed
with the scenery all along the Wal
kiki beach and back of Diamond
Head. The Ambassador has not seen
such green and beautiful landscape
for long time. Your mountains
here are certainly attractive. Your
climate is delightful and everything
is lovely"
Before concluding, Mr.. Iwakoshl
stated that while In San Francisco
the Ambassador was attended by a
secret service man.
Ambassador Aoki and Viscountess
Aoki were guests at the lunch given
by Consul and Madame Saito at the
Consulate this afternoon. Y. Akai Of
the Yokohama Specie Bank was one
of the guests.

inent place in the convention hall.
The Executive Committee appointed
Secretary Wood a member of the
Congressional Committee. Secretary
Francis and Ex-Governor Adams of
Colorado both did good work for Ha-
wall, the latter being much in favor
of the Pearl Harbor resolution.
The National Rivers and Harbors
Congress had also been attended by
Frear. There were three great move
ments in the United States, the con-
version of public lands into homes,
the forestry movement and that for
the development of inland water
ways. The Congress was perhaps
the most important of the institu-
lions of its kind. II had for its OBJ
ject the single purpose to advocate
the adoption of a policy which was
outlined in resolution to the effect
that Congress should work out a
general plan which would take ten
years to accomplish, and would in
100000 a year for the development
of inland waterways, In which there
were splendid opportunities to devcl-
op. Jas. Hill had pointed out there
that even the railroads could not
meet the transportation demands. 1t
was quite probable that the Congress
would carry out its purpose. Hawaii
would benefit by this movement, as
she would get her share of the money
spent on this line. The fact that
this would lead to greater appropria-
tions for rivers and harbors would
benefit the Territory. The average
appropriation for this purpose had
been only $30,O0O,O00 per annum,
while often 1t would probably be
$50,O0O,000. The development OF
the Mississippi and its tributaries
and the opening of the Panama Ca
nal, which would form an outlet for
the Middle States products, would
also be an aid to the Territory.
AT the invitation of Secretary
Straus, Frear had attended the gem
eral business mems convention in
Chicago. This had advocated a plan
to bring the Consuls of the United
States into closer touch with the
business men, and to bring the Gov
eminent and the business community
into closer touch. Secretary Root
had said that he would insist on
having the best class OF men for this
service. Mr.. Wood had secured a
promise to have the Oriental Consuls
who passed through here address the
business men of this city.
At Washington Frear had taken up
some forty or fifty matters, all of
which he could not refer to. All the
officials had been interested in Ha-
vail. The expedition for the Con.
gressional party's visit had secured
twenty-four good friends in Congress
Tor Hawaii, who were doing good
work for the Territory and were ready
to do all they could for her in GER
tain lines. Many of the officials had
expressed hope to come to spend
their old days here. DR.. Wiley and

of its many readers in extending a
cordial welcome to the returning
Governor. He seems to have had a
successful trip and returns TO his du-
ties in good health and spirits.
As for a parade of the militia to
greet n Governor
It is pleasant to see the boys on
parade and they constitute a fine
body of men, and practical field-work
proves them to be thoroughly eff
cient. When they are turned out to
meet the Governor, we are reminded
that the President of the United
States returns from business trips.

pomp or circumstance than other cit

General Mckenzie wanted to live in
Hawaii, and Clifford ,Pinchot might be
expected here next summer, as well
rs Mr.. Pierce of the Interior Depart.
ment.
The status of the Territory was now
different from what II was before. II
was now under the Bureau of Treas.
ury, which got the attention of the
Secretary Of the Interior. This was
very great advantage, as Frear had
found in his work there, as he could
lake matters up directly with the Sec.
rotary.
The matter OF greatest Importance,
that OF immigration, had occupied the
Governors attention. He did not
thing that the danger of immigration
from Japan being shut off, was great,
though 1t could not be foretold what
ould happen. 1t might be that the
labor supply here would be demanded
for other industries than sugar. as, for
Instance, the pineapple industry. and
1t would be necessary to get In class
OF permanent laborers, who would
make their homes here and become
citizens. Hawaii must work in good
faith towards getting European lab.
orers, and Washington was enthus.
'astic about this. The authorities real.
lied that great work had been done
in the sugar industry, and did not
want tn jeopardize 1t, but at the same
time they wanted the welfare of Ha.
wall subserved. The difficulties In
the law, providing against contribu.
tons by corporations and securing i'm.
migrants through general advertise.
ment, were in the way To amend the
law would have to be done by con.
gressional action, and there were
some obstacles in the way, especially
the indisposition to touch the matter
at present However, Frear hoped
that the amendments might be Sc.
cured at this session. Pres.
dent Roosevelt, Sergeant and
others being in favor thereof, and
the bill which was to bring about
the change was prepared in the I'm
migration Office. Frear had talked
with Gompers of the Federation OF
Labor and he had stated that he
would not oppose 1t.

NEGOTIATIONS WITH JAPAN.

The japanese question continues
to hold a prominent place in the
news features and public comment OF
the mainland. Dispatches from day
to day In the mainland papers telling
OF the progress of the negotiations
between the two Governments on the
subject OF immigration are usually
accompanied by more or less bellig-
erent special correspondence from
Washington and Toxic.
The general outline OF the nego-
tiations has been given irf the cable
dispatches of the b u e t 1 n. The
expressions of the correspondents ap-
pear to vary with the policy OF the
paper for which they write. The
New York World, for instance, pup
fishes a general alarm story on the
preparations for war by Japan and
the probability OF that nation making
a dash for the Philippines. The
World apparently has followed in the
same course as the New York Sun.
These papers were bitter In their OPP
position to the despatch Of the bat
tleship feet from the Atlantic coast,
predicting war as a result. The pol
Icy now seems to be, on the part of
this class of journals, to at least
Brighten the people, IL they cannot
make good their predictions.
One Of the very positive statements
Is that the President is unalterably
opposed to Japanese exclusion legis'
lation, and, should Congress attempt
anything in that line, his veto is
promised in advance.
There appears to have been rather
clear-cut language used by Secretary
Root in presenting to the japanese
Government the necessity for check
ing the emigration Of laborers while
the conditions of the Pacinc Coast
are as at present.
On account of the war talk, every
shipment of ammunition to the West
or the Philippines. and every detail
of work on Notifications In this part
of the world, is noted and undoubt-
eddy the significance exaggerated.
The ammunition would go to the
Philippines anyway, and the FORTH
cations should have been constructed
years ago.
The dispatch published in this pa
per Monday to the effect that our
Government would not discuss Jap
anese immigration, as 1t might COM
plicate the internal political cam
paign in Japan, Is undoubtedly very
much to the point, and one OF the
best evidences that the negotiations
are going forward 30 successfully
that the high-contracting parties re-
fuse to allow any statements to issue
that would feed the flames of cam
paign excitement.

BANKER
STUDIED FINANCE

X. Hayashi manager or the Nit
sui Bank. headquartered In Japan, is
Il passenger on the Manchuria. He
is returning to his native land after
q trip abroad to study the financial
conditions in the principal cities of
the world. He left Japan four
months ago and went on the Sibe-
rian Railway to Russia, where he
remained for some time. He next
went to London and had confer
ence with the officials OF the Bank
of Barring Brothers. At the, New
York branch of the same bank Ha-
yashi was received by the manager,
who introduced him to well-known
flnanciers OF Wall Street. Among
the men he met was j. Pierpont Nor
gan.
Mr.. Hayashi, when asked what par
ticular business he was on in Lon
don, stated that he was instructed
by Mr.. Mitsui to go ahead and study
the general situation OF the financiaI
world. "Of course was abroad on
business" said he, but my journey
was more of a pleasure trip"
1t is evident that Hayashi was on
an important mission, the nature OF
which he does not care TO disclose.
He has been connected with the Nit
sui institution for the last eleven
years. While here Mr.. Hayashi was
the guest of Y. Akai, manager of
the Yokohama Specie Bank.
