HAWAIIAN DAYS At

Seattle Times. August "a and 25
have been finally chosen as Hawaiian
Days at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Ex-
position. The program on August %,
as arranged by Commissioner A. f.
Knudsen, includes a reception to the
general public, with the giving away
of souvenir badges and fruit, while a
dance and formal reception to invited
guests will take place August "a. Com
missioner Knudsen looks for large at
tendance on the second day of the ce1e-
bration, and has ordered large con-
signment of fruit from the Hawaiian
Islands for the occasion.
Commissioner Knudsen has cabled
Gov. W. f. Frear, of Hawaii, for con-
firmation of the rumor that he will visit
the exposition some time in August, but
up to the present has received no reply.

per cent. of the total population. The
Chinese, whose number has been de-
ereasing rapidly since annexation in
1898, were estimated at $4,000.
The strike in question is for an in
crease in wages. On the justice of this
demand, it is unnecessary for me to
state; but the trouble was precipitated
without doubt by two or three men in
Honolulu, who never have been labor
ers, and who organized what is known
as the "Japanese Higher Wage Asso.
ciation.' Assisted by Japanese news
paper of ineendiary character. these
men have sought TO establish them,
selves as leaders of the laborers of the
Territory. They have succeeded in re-
cruiting but part of this force and
have been vigorously opposed from the
start by two of the leading japanese
daily newspapers and by the business
element of the japanese community,
who discountenance the methods by
which these would be leaders are at
tempting TO attain authority.
While the strike has unsettled bust
ness in the Islands to some extent, there
is no excitement and no apprehension
of international difficulties arising from
It. As to the United States Govern
ment's interfering, that would be as
utterly unwarranted as would be SINH
lar intervention in case of local trou-
BILE in Arizona or New Mexico, before
these territories had shown themselves
incapable of taking care Of their own
affairs 1t should be remembered that
Hawaii is just as much a territory as
though it were part of the. mainland,
and lf-governing in equal measure.
It is not a case of dependency or
possession -, but of an integral part
of the United States, and any other
attitude is unwarranted by facts.

Editor t-Intelligencer.-As one
who is probably as fully conversant
with conditions in the Territory of ha.
waii as anyone on the Coast, I beg 10
submit few criticisms in regard to
your editorial under the caption, "Ugly
Conditions in Hawaii. -
In the first place, the seriousness of
the labor troubles in the Islands has
been greatly magnifed in the public
mind here on the mainland. The strike
resulted from purely economic causes,
and there is no reason whatever for
assuming that racial or international
questions are involved. Moreover, the
strike has been carried on with mini
mum of disorder. There has been little
or no rioting and no destruction Of
property, and the only disorder which
has occurred has been in a few in
stances in which the strikers have at
tempted to interfere with others of
their own countrymen who are trying
to work. The ordinary police force of
the Islands has had no difficulty in
handling the situation and there has
been no prospect as yet that the ser
vices of Hawaii s thoroughly efficient
militia viii be required
The japanese Consul General in Ha-
wall has declined to interfere in the
trouble, and neither Washington nor
Toxic have inclined to consider the
matter as other than purely local.
Governor Walter f. Frear, in a eabled
report to Washington, has also declared
the Territory ability. to take care of
the situation without assistance from
the Federal government.
In the matter of population in Ha-
waii, | think you are in error in giving
for 1906 of japanese III, l37, and of
Chinese, 4,494. According to the most
reliable estimates for the year 1908

SEAS POUND STRANDED SHIP.

NEWPORT, R. l., July IA brisk
southwest wind last night turned up a
sea which pounded the stranded collier
Nero until new hole was forced in her
bow and the work of attempting to float
her received a setback. The wreckers
had completed patching the hull and
had the vessel practically pumped out
when the rough weather struck her.
It was necessary to let the water into
her compartments again to settle the
hull, and all night the seas were break
ing over her. The weather moderated
this forenoon and the wreckers at once
resumed work.
