NJ CLELlAN ON THE
PINEAPPLE TARIFF

The meeting Of the Chamber Of Com
merce yesterday afternoon was short,
being devoted largely to the reading
of minutes of several meetings. In the
absence of President Morgan, Richard
Ivers assumed the chair. He appoint
ed committee of three consisting of
l.. A. Thurston, E. E. Paxton and T.
H. Petrie to draw up resolutions in
memory of the late Henry r. Macfaf-
lane, an oldtime member of the cham
Der. The following letter from George
B. Mcclellan, secretary to Delegate Ka-
lanianaole, on the pineapple tariff, was
read:
Washington, D. G., April 3, 1907
The Chamber of Commerce, Honolulu,
Hawaii.
Dear sirs: Acting on your instruc-
tions to keep you advised by cable of
any important developments here, /
have Just cabled you as follows:
"Strong lobby, importers and can
ners, fighting pineapple rate. Request
authorization hundred dollars for type
writing and printing Esteben.
As stated in my last letter, the i'm
porters and Gamers have sent men here
who are constituents of three (instead
of two) of the members of the Ways
and Means Committee. / am now in
formed by two of our friends on the
committee that those three committee
men (including Chairman Payne), to-
gether with those formerly opposed to
US, have forced through a vote to re-
port a committee amendment on para
graph 275, giving a rate of eight cents
per cubic foot. on fresh pines. As
there is an average of nearly fourteen
pines to the cubic foot of the Cuban
importation, this amounts to reduc-
ton of almost thirty-one per cent. from
the rate per thousand.
The absolute injustice of such an al
tentative rate has been clearly set
forth to the committee members, but
as one of my friends on the committee
said to me yesterday, 1.-The fight has
| now gotten TO the place where equal
| Justice does not control; it Is now a
struggle between conflicting interests.
1t is unlikely that we can prevent
| the adoption of this committee amend
| ment in the House, and we shall now
| transfer our main fight to the Senate
| We shall use every available means
not only to have this rate corrected
| in the Senate, but also to have the
| basic rate increased to so per thou
sand. If that were done, it might bt
reduced to eight dollars again in con
ference, but by that means we woulc
| be assured of the latter rate as the
minimum, and with it cubic foot
| rate that would be real equivalent
instead of being ''joker'' as it now
is Very truly yours,
GEO. B. MCCLELLAN.

Off had called her. So they had stuck
together all those ten years. with Lady
Creech as a most complaisant and
discreet chaperon-but that couldn't
be, for, whatever else Lady Creech
might be, worldly wise and naughty
she was at least an English gentlewo-
man at heart, and she would have
starved rather than connive at a scan
dal OF that sort.
No, Daniel reflected, he would have
