Comparing financial and business
conditions of the Coast with the Is
lands [ would say that there is boom
ahead for not only Honolulu but the Is
lands in general said w. H. Hoogs
yesterday. Mr.. Hoogs just returned
from San Francisco, where he secured
renewal Of a contract for company
in which he is interested in California
This business compels the hiring of a
large number of men for the mountain
districts.
sfThe financial situation there is bet
tering itself and by spring of next
year there will be any amount of build
ing and business activity in San Fran
cisco,' continued Mr.. Hoogs. ''The
banks will loosen up, and labor should
then be plentiful and at reasonable
wages The labor situation is not now
altogether in the hands of the labor
unions. just before | left for Homo
lulu the teamsters met to consider
whether or not they would strike
against a proposed reduction of fifty
cents in their wages. AS a general
thing they would strike. In this in
stance. they decided to accept the cut
and continue to work.
cit is likely that this winter may
prove a hard one for those connected
with the unions, for there will be little
work done, the builders waiting for
spring and better conditions. By that
time labor will be plentiful and can
be handled better.
''They re offering big wages in the
country and in the mountain districts
for labor but the fellows hang around
the city and particularly the water
front and don t care to work.
"'There will be plenty of labor
brought here from the mainland ITO
work on the government places. After
December when contracts are to be let
for building the Naval station, stores
house on the Naval Reservation Point,
Army storehouse at the foot of Fort
street, besides Territorial work, there
is certain to be boom and | figure
that in the next five years about $6,-
0,000 viii pass into the hands of
local people spent by the Federal and
Territorial governments.
t'We people down here will get our
share Of it all right.

REPUBLICANS
To RALLY
TONIGHT
All Ready to Fire the
First Party VoIley
of Campaign.

Everything is in readiness for the
Republican ratification rally at Aala
Park tonight. The orators are in good
form, their speeches are expected to
be of a high order, party enthusiasm
runs high in spots, and there is plenty
of assurance of great crowd, provided
the. weather man keeps off the rain.
The meeting is timed to begin at half
past seven, before which time there
win be music to attract and hold those
who might not otherwise come out to
listen to the spellbinders.
The party managers have gone care
fully over their list of available speak
ers and selected those from whom the
greatest efforts are to be expected un-
der the present circumstances. 1t is
true that some of the leading orators
of the last campaign are not down
among the list of speakers for tonight.
Some of those have turned the light
of their countenanee in other political
directions, and others have developed
a shyness for which there will be no
Immediate cure. The list as it stands
is decidedly good one, however. and
should attract all those who wish to
hear good, lively speaking.
Yesterday there was considerable.
work done throughout the various pre-
cinets by the Republican precinct of
fcers, the facts brought out at the
meeting at headquarters on Saturday
night that the work of getting the
voters out for registration was being
neglected having stirred the workers
into activity. As a result it is ex-
peeted that there will be a rush on
the registration board office today,
which will continue more or less stead
lily all week. The party workers do not
expect to bring in a total registration
equal to that of the last list At the
present time there are about an even
FIVE thousand registered, with another

c. A. SPRECKELS VIEWS
ON PHILIPPINE SUGARS

c. A. Spreekels, president of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company of New
York, fails to see the reason for Ha-
waiian opposition to a lowering of the
duty on Philippine sugar imports. In
a letter to the Hawaii Herald, under
date of September 9, he says;
~ see by copy of the Herald that
you are opposed to the admission, free
of duty, of any Philippine Island
sugars, as proposed by Mr.. Taft (as
also any tariff reduction on sugar., on
the ground that it may seriously affect
the Hawaiian planters.
T. o. Curiously enough, precisely the
same argument was used by the Louis
lana planters and the domestic beet
people, in opposing the annexation of
Hawaii; Hawaii was annexed, and yet
see how they have all prospered.
''In this case, the Philippine Islands
are already United States territory,
and are certainly, in all fairness, en-
titled to the free admission of a part,
if not all, of their sugars.
"This country consumes 100000

It is within the range of probability
that the 1910 session of the Transmits
sissippi Commercial Congress will be
held in Honolulu. H. P. Wood, secre-
been corresponding with the officials of
the Congress in advocacy of Honolulu
as a meeting place and on the last mail
received a reply from Arthur F. Fran
els, of Cripple Creek, the transmissis-
sippi secretary, offering encouragement
to the suggestion. The letter says:
acknowledging your favor of the
18th inst, we are pleased to note that
our vice president of the Islands, Mr.
J. F. Morgan, has consented to attend
the Congress and that he has been Civ
en- discretionary power with regard to
the delegation to represent your sec
ton. We will be pleased to have Mr.
Morgan call at our headquarters imme,
diately upon his arrival. We can con
fer with him about the program and
also about the matter you suggest for
1910. The idea has been latent with us
for sometime, ever since Hawaii began
to cut some figure. If your people
would give the Executive Committee
SIX months at least, and also secure the
cooperation of the steamship lines, it
is within the range of possibility that
a session may be held at Honolulu.
When Governor Brady of Nebraska sug-
gested the idea for Sitka, the response
which our Executive Committee recefv-
ed was somewhat surprising. The fact
that Hawaii is now strongly in the lime
light, and that the radiance will in
crease rather than diminish may open
the way for Mr. Morgan to spring the
suggestion on the Congress at this ses-
sion and may possibly do much good
We have a large membership of dele
gates and permanent members who at
tend these meetings annually and who
can easily be prevailed upon to make
the trip.
cit would be something unique, and
for this reason would appeal to our peo-
pie especially, who always have the
price, no matter where the Congress is
called to convene -

tons of sugar per annum, Of which more
than one-haif is imported from foreign
countries, so it is pretty hard to see
how the free admission of limited
amount of sugars from the Philippine
Islands can interfere with the pros
peritv of Hawaii.
Hawaii now sells its sugar to a
trust, under contract, at one-quarter
of cent per pound less than Cuban
sugars, which are admitted into the
United States under preferential
tariff of lbs per pound, which means
an actual protection to them of only
10 per pound. and yet see the won.
derful prosperity of Hawaii. 1t is hard
to understand. under these circum-
stances, why Hawaii should be opposed
to a reduction of tariff, and it would
seem their only interest in retaining
the high rate of 16S is for the sole
purpose of dividing part of this pro-
lection with a trust, with whom they
have contracted for their product on a
basis of only one cent protection.

most every resort along the Pacific
Coast has its quintet of Hawaiian sing
ers. Many are on the vaudeville cir
cults, and in some instances they
travel in pairs and have theatrical en-
gagements.
Captain Berger has just finished his
vacation. OF course, he worked. He
went down to the Boys Reform School
and selected some new youngsters for
the school band, which now has twenty
players. Ten boys were brought under
his baton and they are now ready to
do things. The captain says the band
is progressing and will be fine or
ganization. He believes that a musical
education of this sort is worth while,
for when the musical boys leave the
institution they, at least, have enough
knowledge of instrument playing to get
something to do, and if they have good
voices they are sure of work on the
mainland.

TWO HUNDRED HAWAIIAN
SINGERS ON THE MAINLAN

Nearly two hundred Hawaiian sing
ers are engaged in singing and playing
upon the mainland, and quintet clubs
may be heard from Boston to the Ponce
de Leon Hotel, Florida, and from New
York and Atlantic City to Seattle, San
Francisco and Los Angeles, while many
of the large cities in the Middle States
give patronage to the choirs from Par
adise.
Captain Berger, leader of the Ha-
waiian band, takes a deserved pride
IN these musicians, for large number
OF them got their knowledge of music
from him, and some who did not, in

devotion to music, and particularly to

2 that each of these young men earns
not less than $50 per week, while many
receive as high as $40 per geek. Al

An intensely interesting talk con-
the rest of the world was that given
last evening in Central Union church
by Rev. j. Fl. DeForest, DID,, one Of the
foremost Christian workers in Japan.
J 1t was not an address, nor a resume of
ewhat Christianity has done for Japan,
or the number of converts per annum;
it was not a dry summary of the mum
Der OF missions scattered throughout
the territory, or che number of Bibles
distributed, but a common-sense discus
sion OF internal affairs of Japan and
the events which have contributed to
her present greatness, and it was as
well wholesome tribute to the splen-
did moral influences OF old Japan, upon
which have been laid the foundation of
one of the most patriotic nations on
earth. The statements made were a
revelation in some respects, for they
disabused the minds of the very large
congregation present of some fallacies
which have been banded around the
world.
Mr.. DeForest is a magnetic speaker,
a striking personality which commands
attention, and he dealt in very infor-
NAL manner with subject with which
he is thoroughly familiar His long
residence of thiFty-four years in the
Orient has given him opportunity to
Judge Japan and the Japanese people
at their real worth, and he praises
without exhibiting any prejudieed par
tiality.
He spoke primarily on the subject of
'The Barriers Between the East and
the West He said in introduction
that between the East and the West,
America and Japan, there were two
great barriers against communication
of thought and brotherhood. and one of
these was language There were also
conditions of customs, looks and clothes
included in this barrier. There are
differences of moral ideals, differences
IN the evolution of families and gov
ernment. With all these things con
sidered, there arises a problem, the like
of which the world has never before
seen. These two great civilizations,
,the one of the West and the other of
the East, have come together, and the
greatest question is: 'What are you
going to do about it2' He proceeded
to give illustrations of the difficulties
that are before the Oecident when it
faces the East, and the difficulties that
confront the Orient when it faces the
West.
In somewhat humorous language the
doctor SAID 1t was an astonishing thing
what difference there is in the shape
OF the heads of the human family. The
difference in the head as found in
Japan is so marked in that country

BOSTON WRITER
ON NEWROUSE

Newhouse mines stock has been
exceedingly weak recently on what
appears to be London selling. Ad-
vices from the mine, however, CON
tinue favorable. The company has
a very large tonnage of concentrat-
ing ore, and is declared to be able to
make copper at cost of about 10
cents per pound, says George l..
Walker, in the Boston Commercial
| am told that financial reyersss
made it necessary for the largest
holder of Newhouse stock to sell the
greater portion of his holdings pri-
vately at low prices, and that the
new interests in the stock are taking
hold of the company affairs with
the intention of making it big sue
cess. 1t. will be recalled that New
house stock sold at $40 early last
year. The story is that some of the
insiders allowed their enthusiasm to-
get the better of their judgment, and
that they bought too heavily at the
high prices. So far as can be learned,
there has been no change of opinio
in regard to the ultimate value of the
property. 1t was a case where the
future was being discounted too rap
idly, and this discounting occurred
just previous to the severe financial
panic and the disastrous decline in
the price Of copper The Newhouse
company had large amount of COP
per on, hand which was not sold at
high prices, and it was a heavy loser.
The concentrating ores of the New
house company yield about 80 to So
pounds of copper to the ton. Thay
are mined at a low cost and treated
in the company's own concentrato.,
which is of 500 tons daily capacity
The work of Increasing the concen-
| traitor to 1900 tons daily capacity
was under way when the panic oe-
cured.
The advance in the price of New
house stock last year was started by
the discovery of a large chimney. or
tense, OF massive chalcoprite ore,
shipment from which yielded from
20 to rs per cent copper. The worr
of determining the extent of this ORE
deposit extended, but so far the am
nouncement of its recurrence on the
deeper levels has not been received.
1t is known that the gentlemen
who are very close to the manage
ment have been buyers Of Newhousa
/ stock on every reaction for several
mouths past While they do not pre-
tend to know Just how much the
stock is worth, they believe in the
property and have confidence that it
