wages on an American steamship of
G,000 tons burden are $7S.4S0. and per
annum the wages on one of these Jap
anese steamers OF the same burden are
$50, Jos, making an excess of cost OF
wages per annum to the American
steamship of $4S,372 In addition to
that. the American ship has all the
burden of furnishing better rations.

the gentleman permit another inter-
ruption? Are the figures that he states
not based upon the assumption that
the entire crew is shipped from Ameri-
can ports. while the fact is that the
crew is shipped from the various ports
the vessel sails from?
Mr.. Kahn. On every one of the lines
that ply between Honolulu and San
Francisco the sailors are shipped at
the American mainland port. with the
exception of the Pacific Mail Under
our laws the Pacific Mail has to have
greater percentage of white men
than the japanese line. II is true that

touch at Honolulu?
Mr.. Kahn. They do.
Mr.. Alexander of New York How
often in a year could a passenger get
out of Honolulu who must rely on the
boats the gentleman mentions?
Mr.. Kahn. Practically once a week,
and | want to say in that very connec-
ton that today on the Atlantic sea-
board there are hundreds of people
who want to 90 to Europe who can
not get accommodations, and they
have to wait until they can. We in
California, when we want to come
East on the railroad, frequently have
to wait a full week before we can get
our Pullman accommodations on the

The Coastwise suspension bill was
the occasion of quite a debate in Con-
gress, and of the longest speech yet
made on the floor of the House by Del
egate Kuhio. After Congressman Lit
tlefield had stated the generally given
reasons for such a law, the opposition
was invited to speak, and the debate
proceeded as follows:
Mr.. Kahn. In my judgment this bill
should be entitled "A bill to drive an
other nail into the coffin of American
shipping on the Pacific Ocean" The
gentleman from Maine has given list
Of American ships that ply between
the coast of California and the Ha-
waiian Islands, but his list is not at all
complete. This Is the true list, given
me only few days ago by the Com
missioner of Navigation.
A Member American bottoms?
Mr.. Kahn. All American bottoms
the Mongolia, the Manchuria, the ST.
IBERIA, the Korea, and the China, of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company; the
Alameda, of the Oceanic steamship
Company. The gentleman from Maine
says that she is old, and that she is not
of much account She is known in
that trade as "Old Reliability" 1t is
almost a moral certainty that six days
from the hour that she sails from San
Francisco her smokestack will be seen
above the horizon at honolulu. She is
rs regular as clockwork, and there are
hundreds who sail periodically be-
tween those islands and this country,
who wait for an opportunity to sail
on the Alameda Then, there are the
Hilonian. the Enterprise, and the Lur-
line, of the Matson Navigation Com
pany. The gentleman from Maine said
that the LuTline has accommodations
for only thirty-five passengers. The
owner of the vessel Captain MatsOn
was here only two months ago. The
Lurline has but recently gone around
Cape Horn to San Francisco. She has
accommodation for sixty first-class
passengers, and her cabin fittings are
| said to be as fine as those of any YES
sci on the Pacific. She cost nearly a
million dollars, and she is just about
to begin to run to the Islands.

Mr. Kahn. II Is Practically all Am
erican. There are no Asiatics on the
Spreckels Line, on the Oceanic Line.
They carry white men. Now, the wages
of a mixed crew on the Pacific Mail
steamer China. per annum, is a little
over S3S, 600 If they had all white
men they would have to pay $4,000.
Mr. Rodenberg Will the gentleman
explain then why it is that the cost of
transportation on the Togo Kisen Kali
sha from Honolulu to San Francisco is
$40 more than on the American lines,
with the exception of the Pacific Mail?
Mr.. Kahn. Well, | do not know how
that is. But. as a matter of fact, they
are not allowed to carry passengers
from Honolulu to San Francisco. They
can not do it under our laws unless
they pay fine of 5000 on every pas
senger carried. ! want to say Just
word about that 5000 proposition. Much
has been said about this charge of
5000. Whenever a good case can be
made out, whenever you can show the

bring about such a result. Now that their fondest dreams have been realized, they are sitting back quietly awaiting de- velopments. The expectation of Wall street is that the market Is in for big reaction which will wind up with a huge sacrifice of public moneys which came into the game at the eleventh hour.
 If it should happen, however that the present holders should be reinforced and fortified by an inflow or fresh recruits bringing with them additional tens of millions of capital, then this expectation will turn into disappointment. In such an event the very men who were so keen to sell out to the greeley public during the period of excitement following Mir Taft's election. will be found among the eager buyers at higher prices. That is the way of Wall street If the talent finds it has made d mistake in the market it loses no time in adapting itself to condi- lions as they may be found and getting aboard again. There is where the talent Is able to beat the outsiders every time. It is not so likely to get stubborn and stick by a position whether right or wrong.
 There are signs of renewal of the ac- tive campaign for a general rise in freight rates. The various traffic associations of the railroad east and west have been hard at work for months on reconstructed schedules and these are understood to be now nearing completion. There is not likely to be a uniform advance attempt ed of , ger cent or 10 per cent. but the average will be showed up as high as pos sible if the programme resolved upon is put through. Opposition to the general advance is being offered on the ground that with a recovery of business to nor
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-15

mal railroad earnings will so increase that an advance will not be necessary.
 This argument is met by the plea that rates must be moved up in any event in order to provide a basis for borrowing the thousands of millions of dollars which must be put into railroad plants within the next five years, according to the dic- tum of such authorities as James J. Hill, F. H. Hartman, MT. Ripley and others. Without very largely increased earnings. the generals of railroad management and high finance say 1t will be impossible to raise the money that will be imperatively demanded to make the Improvements and betterments outlined. In other words, If the public must have the facilities which are to cost any such sum as 5000, ,00O,O ,O00 (mentioned by MT. Hill and indorsed by other authorities), then the public must inake it possible for the railroads to raise the money. It all looks very easy.

Now that the public has been landed with the goods. the question is what is it going to do with the stuff?

1t does not seem likely that any
local man will get the position Of
special agent to represent this Terri
tory at the Alaska-Yukon exposition
which will be held in Seattle next
year. Some individual OF experience
in this kind of work, who has been
in similar position in some OF the
great fairs held of recent years, is de-
sired and it IS probable that such an
appointment will be made.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing Governor Frear said:
1T is probable that man will be
brought from the mainland to take
the position of special agent at the
Alaska Yukon exposition. 1t is neces-
sary to have a man of experience who

The members Of the yachting COM
munity of this city are very much dis
gusted over the rumors which have
been leaking out in regard to the trip
of the yacht Hawaii. When Captain
Harris took command all had the ut
most confidence in him, but it is claim
ed, and the stories told by the others
who were on board the yacht bear this
out, that he neglected many things
which might have been conducive to
a much faster trip.
In regard to the ballast which the
Hawaii carried there has been con-
siderable comment. When the yes
sci left this port she was acknowledged
by all to be too far down, in the water
and while no specific instructions
were given in regard to taking out
ballast Harris had his attention called
to the matter and was instructed to
make experiments on the way up and
to find out what was needed. 1t is
stated that nothing of this kind was
done and that from the time the Ha-
vail left this port till she returned
nothing of the kind was done.
Another comment was made on the
fact that though the Hawaii lay in
San Pedro for almost two weeks Cap
tain Harris did not take her out once
for, single tuning up cruise, instead

UGLY STORIES

CAPTAIN HARRIS REPORTED ITO BEEN OBSTINATE
AGAINST SUGGESTIONS BEHALF OF SPEED HUNG
PEDRO NOTHING PREPARE FOR
RACE-AN- INVESTIGATION COMING

OF this saying that he was too busy
and spending all his time in the so
cial joys which were easy to find.
William Warehouse, who represent
ed the local committee in Los Ange-
les, it is said tried to get Harris to
change his ballast and so did Stroud,
the mate of the little calender.
On the trip down it is said that
Harris resented any change Which
was suggested. When the members
of the crew attempted to get the sails
into better shape on the way down
he ordered them to leave things alone
and if any change WAS made when
he was in the cabin he changed back
when he came on deck. This was In
addition to general disagreeable be-
havior to all on board.
When the race was about to start,
Captain Sinclair, like the true sports
man which he has always shown him
self to be, made suggestions to Har
fis in regard to the currents and
winds just outside of the bay. In
stead of taking these hints as they
were meant, Harris believed that tne
Los Angeles man was trying to give
him the "double-cross" and took ex
actly the opposite course. The re
suit was that he was tied up in "a
soft spot with load of pig iron"

letters which have received from
