VISITING L0THARI0 TO BE ARRESTED
JAPANESE ARE
GOING HOME
TWO HUNDRED ORIENTALS FROM
LOCAL PLANTATIONS LEAVING
BY TENYO MARU TOMORROW.

The Tenyo Maru, which leaves for
Yokohama tomorrow morning, will
take 200 Japanese in her steerage from
this city, the largest list of this kind
that has left Hawaii for many months.
1t is stated on good authority that
the majority of those going away to-
morrow are Japanese who have been
working on Aiea and Waipahu plan
tations and who are leaving on ac-
count of the strike now in progress.
Under ordinary circumstances the
Japanese leaving for their own coun-
try from this Territory rarely num-
ber two hundred in an entire month,
but the record for recent dates, that
is since unrestricted immigration from
Japan was stopped, will be broken in
the present period. There are about
100 Orientals in the steerage of the
Maru who have come from San Fran
cisco. Part of these, however, are
Chinese.

to get off the grounds. Special DO
lice will be handy to preserve order in
case of any unpleasant incident. To
accommodate three thousand Japanese
in Honolulu will crowd the Japanese
hotels and draw heavily on the re-
sources of the strike or higher-wage
organization.
WAIALUA WILLING.
Waialua Japanese have for some
time been willing to strike, or many Of
| them have, but the question with them
now is whether there is any use in so
doing, for funds are not too plentiful
and they are curious to know what
will become of them If they are not
permitted to remain on the plantation.
! There is an inclination on their part TO
wait until Saturday to see what will
happen when the time limit of the stay
of the Japanese on Aiea and Waipahu
has expired.
/ MAKINO'S WHITE ELEPHANT.
AS far as the leadership is regarded
by many who are closely observing the
strike, Fred Maxine has a very cum
I bersome white elephant on his hands.
The animal has to- eat and has to De
bedded down every night and, also, he
is somewhat cranky in his goings and
comings. Maxine expected, when the
! Japanese laborers struck that the
planters would at once, or quickly, call
for compromise or arbitration. The
planters, however, are standing pat
and leaving it continually to the strik-
ers to make the moves. The only
moves the strikers have are to go back
to work or get off the premises and
the only way they can paralyze the
plantations is by all going out, when it
I would be absolutely impossible for
strikebreakers to accomplish anything.
The thirty thousand and more planta-
ton laborers in this Territory, who
are Japanese, cannot afford to quit
simultaneously, and as long as but two
or three plantations are affected the
general industry is not going to suf-
fer to the extent of the planters hav-
ing to bow to the demands of the Jap
anese
Makino's hopes are to realize enough
money by general Japanese subscrip-
tion to permit of all the plantation
workers quitting at once, and failing
this, his plan is to keep a couple OF
plantations striking right along, two
more going out as fast as those who
go out decide to go back, a sort of con
tinuous strike on the instalment plan.
1000 MEN DOWN LINE.
One thousand men were taken dowr
the line at 6:25 this morning, beinl
