are very promising material If they
prove satisfactory as laborers, il is
probable that quite a number more Of
this class Of immigrants viii be brought
to the Islands by the local immigration
board. The bringing in of these agri-

actly In line with the policy laid down
for US in Washington that / believe
we may look for the same assistance

in connection with that of the Portn-

Since the last annual meeting this
organization has lost by death one of
its most prominent and valued mem
bers in the person of the late G. NJ.
Cooke. Our departed friend and col
league was largely interested, directly
and indirectly, in the predominant in
dustry of the Islands, and his counsel
and opinions as to the handling of
sugar affairs were always listened to
with attention and high respect. This
association and the community have
sustained heavy loss in the passing
of Mr.. Cooke.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I feel that
we have much to be thankful for in
the past and good reason to look for
ward hopefully to the future. In an
industry such as ours there are natur-
ally many problems coming forward
from time to time which need careful
study and thought in their solution,
but difficulties have been overcome in
the past which at the time looked al
most insurmountable, and in looking
around the members of the association
gathered in this hall can not but be-
lieve that when the time comes we
shall succeed in the future as we have
in the past by holding together and
each one doing his best in his appointed
place. Let us take for our motto

any one Of them of extending and per

This ANIMAL sugar congress Is intend

cardinal purpose being to bring out by
discussion new ideas and the mutual
exchange Of knowledge and experience
as to the best and latest economical
methods of handling Sugar affairs, bus
] trust the meeting will not be without
profit and pleasure to all Of US.
The year just passed has indeed been
an eventful one in the annals Of the
association We have produced the
largest crop which has. 50 far, been
turned out from these Islands, we have
enjoyed good prices, especially in the
latter part Of the season owing to the
expected shortage Of the European beet
crop, the much dreaded tariff legisla-
ton has come and gone without affect
ing our Industry in any way, and we
have passed through a prolonged labor
disturbance, learning lessons thereby
which ] firmly believe will make for
better feeling on all sides in the
future.
Crops.
Turning first to the question of our
sugar production for 1909, | find that
the year just closed has been a very
successful one in every respect. It has
been the record breaking year of the
Island sugar industry, our output be-
ing 1851 tons, an increase Of Il, 1893
tons over last years crop, our previous
highest record. And, coincident with
a bumper crop, good prices have pre-
vailed throughout the year, steadily i'm
proving as the season progressed. As
has happened before, however, with an
ascending market the bulk of our crops
did not benefit by the higher prices,
but nevertheless the average price re-
ceived for our product has been an emf
nently satisfactory one.
Tariff.
The results of the tariff legislation
are well known to all or you, but
few words on this most important sub
ject may not be out Of place. In
March of this year, congress met in
extra session, called for the purpose
of passing new tariff bill, now known
as the Payne Bill" The bill did
not provide for any reduction in the
duty on either raw or refined sugar,
and as soon as the sugar schedule came
up for discussion a bitter attack was
made on the American Sugar Refinery
with view to showing that the lar.
ger portion of the increased price paid
by the consumer on account of duties
did not go to swell the revenue of the
country, but found its way into the
pockets of the so-called Sugar Trust
Partly through the support afforded by
the senators and representatives from
the heet-growing States. and partly
through his mastery Tactics, which

we are concerned. At any rate, it has
put the whole Of our industry on a
solid basis. which is not likely to be
disturbed for some time TO come.
Strike.
In the early part Of May the Japa
nese lab0rers on several Of the Oahu
plantations went out on strike. Labor
ers were obtained from various sources

the plantations was continued as usual.
On August , the strike was formally
declared off, and from that time on
the japanese have been gradually re-
turning to the various plantations
where they were formerly at work.
Immigration.
The question Of immigration has been
before YOUR trustees more or less dur
ing the while Of last year. One Of the
immediate results Of the labor disturb
ance was to cause them to take in
hand very vigorously the question of
obtaining supplies Of fresh labor from
every available source. Messrs. Pink
ham and Stevens were sent to the
Philippines to revive native immigra-
ton from that point. They have for
warded thus far SIX or seven hundred
people. who have taken hold of field
work in a very satisfactory manner,
being industrious and tractable. There
are hopes of obtaining goodly num-
Der of these people in the near future.
By reasoi. of the opening up of this
Hawaii will obtain a very
necessary supply Of labor, and, apart
from this possibly selfish consideration,

to assist the home government in

We bring from the Philippines several
thousand laborers and their families,
many of whom will return later to
their country imbued with American
ideals, having better knowledge of
labor as practised away from their
home surroundings and among people
of all nationalities, and better fitted
to meet the new conditions which must
surely come to their own country,
which has been for centuries practical
ly isolated. The Hawaiian Islands
have earned the reputation of conduct

ance with the methods practised on
the mainland If the Filipino in his
soiouxn here on the different islands

Premier Maura Says SPANS Laws

MADRID, October l6.-The republicans
in the senate were led into turbulent
scenes today by Senators Diaz and Mo-
rem, who declared that the manifestations
abroad were not directed against Spain,
as a nation, but against the attitude OF
the administration. which should resign.
The foreign minister, Senior Allendesa-
la4ar, repudiated the impression abroad
that Spain conyicts men for holding GER
tain ideas. He insisted that patriotism
imposes duties, especially against anar-
chy.
in the minister's face. saying:
THE real anarchists are YOU"
The foreign minister agreed to submit
to the chamber the official dispatches
regarding the manifestations in other
countries.
During the afternoon. in the chamber of
deputies. the republicans demanded an
explanation of events at Barcelona. the
meaning OF the manifestat ions abroad and
the submission Of the documents In the
Ferrer case.
Premier Maura retorted that the govern
inent was concentrating its attention on
Barcelona. where the laws would be con-
tinued to be applied. So far az the mani
festations abroad were concerned, Pre-.
mier Maura declared, they were inspired
by the same element that has caused
the outbreaks in Barcelona and by iH-
norance of the Spanish laws.
He promised to submit the Ferrer pa

Barrill's Story.

NEW YORK, October 16.-Having
failed in his efforts to get Prof. Herschei
c. Parker and Anthony Fiala to conduct
an expedition to ascend Mount Mckinley.
DIR. Frederick A. Cook announced here
tonight that he would abandon his lee
ture tour as soon as possible and himself
head an expedition to ascend the noun
tain to obtain, if possible. the records
which he says he left there in 1906.
In announcing his decision, DR.. Cook
said:
II am fully determined to break off my
lecture tour, complete my arctic data for
Copenhagen and then head an expedition
Immediately to Mount Mckinley to re-
cover the records which I left there. Ny
decision has been reached owing to the
acuteness of the controversy in the last
few days.
Lectures to Be Discontinued.
Il have not seen my lecture manager. l
believe I am bound to deliver four or tiye
lectures next week. But although am
booked to the coast and back. shall not
go farther than Minneapolis
II shall ask several unbiased scientists
to accompany me. and shall select num-
her of Swiss mountaineers to form the
party. The funds will be got together
without trouble-of that I am assured
However, l myself should not be able to
provide all the finances necessary.
"As to my north pole data, their COM
pletion will require six weeks or two
months. l intend to work on them day
and night in order to finish them as
quickly as possible. l shall not send them
piecemeal. because it has always been my
intention to show them in their entirety"
Parker Declines Commission.
Prof. Parker said positively this after
noon that he would have nothing to do
with any expedition Of DR.. Cook to Mount
Mckinley.
'Belmore Brown and myself will en-
deavor to find the top of the mounta ain
next year. said Prof. Parker. But our
expedition will not follow the route DR..
Cook says he took. If We should find DR..
Cooks records at the top we would bring
them back.
