CHEAP LABOR ON
PANAMA CANAL

The Board of immigration has just
received the annual report of the 18th
milan Canal Commission, for the year
ending June 30, 1910, giving many in
teresting facts, especially as to pay for
laborers, from which tho following, re-
lating to labor conditions in Panama, il
quoted:
Few laborers were recruited during
the year. There were but three ship
ments aggregating 2519 men. All were
West Indians-two shipments from Bar.
BADGES and one from Trinidad. The
last shipment was made in January,
1910.
The excess of immigration over
emigration during the year was eliza.
The work has apparently reached its
maximum, and the present population
of the Zone with its constant Access
siOns furnishes an ample labor supply.
Although it has been necessary to i'm
port $4,000 laborers since the inception
of the work, it is now believed that the
recruitment of unskilled labor can be
abandoned.
"While there has always been an in
dependent immigration from the West
Indian islands, it was not until within
the last four months that there has been
any movement on the part Of European
laborers. During this period 1000 have
come here of their own volition, unas-
sisted, attracted by the reports Of good
pay, fair treatment and excellent living
conditions sent to Spain and Italy by
laborers on the ground.
=" A number of old contract laborers
who had deserted the work have re-
turned, as evidenced by the fact that
although no Europeans have been re-
cruited during the year nlmber OF
them have paid up their transportation
in full, amounting to $1,000.
"This is in striking contrast to the
previous fiscal year, when at one time
1t seemed as though the force would be
seriously depleted by the movement of
the Spanish and Italian laborers, who
were going to Brazil and other South
American countries A number Of these
men have returned.

the work and placing new arrivals

(" gold') per hour.
From the beginning of the fiscal year
until April there was a steady increase
in the force; the maximum, 3S,676, was
reached on March 80, 1910. This in
cudes the force of the Panama Rail
road Company and of the relocation,
aud is the largest force on record. 1t
is 5000 over and above the maximum
figure Of the previous fiscal year. Since
that time there has been decrease,
but the total effective strength on June

JAPAN ORDERS
GREAT CRUISER
All Local Yards in Full Blast
and Contract Goes to
British Firm.

TOXIC, November e6.-As reported
from London, the government has
placed an order with the Vickers ship.
building yard for the construction of
a big armored cruiser for the imperial
navy. 1t may be remembered that the
imperial navy had some time ago drawn
up construction program with a view
to strengthening its capacity from the
necessity to keep pace with the prog
ress in the art of naval shipbuilding of
various naval powers The plan had,
however, to be dropped as the result
of the general postponemont of new
undertakings. But as the result of
further investigation a plan was made
in April last for the construction of an
armored cruiser of displacement of
$4,000 tons at a cost within the limit
payable from the expenditure already
allotted to naval construction.
In view of the limited amount of the
appropriation and the cheap labor at
home, the authorities have decided to
construct the warship at some domestic
yard where it can be built at the cost
of about 900 yen per ton. Later, how.
ever, the remarkable revolution in naval
construction and in ordnance by the
powers which adopted the principle of
larger and more powerful ships has
made the authorities feel the necessity
of changing the already settled plan,
which has become out of date.
In consequence of this the decision
was arrived at, as the result of detailed
? 4 1
mored cruiser of the latest Invincible
type. AS the construction of such a
large warshp takes very long time,
the authorities have concluded to have
it constructed abroad, notwithstanding
its policy to construct all new war.
ships in home yards.
The contract for the construction
was signed on the seventeenth instant
in London between Ambassador Kato
and the Vickers yard. As regards the
ordnance and armament of the new
cruiser, the authorities keep the matter
strictly secret. 1t is said that the com.
pletion of the warship will require at
least twenty.three months. Commander
Kato, naval attache to the japanese
embassy in London, will supervise the
construction of the ship.
Capacity of the Domestic Yards.
Sudden as it would seem that the
imperial government placed an order
with Messrs. Vickers and Maxim, Eng.
land, for the construction of big
armored cruiser with displacement of
| $4,000 tons, yet it is understood that
| the decision was the outcome of DELHI
crate considerations of the present con-
dition of the naval arsenals and on
private dock yards, which are now fully
occupied with naval construction, as
was declared in the official statement.
Excluding the new battleship Ah (19,-
500 tons) and the armored cruiser Ku-
rama 1880 tons), both of which have
taken on board their armament and
are ready for a trial run, ten war
ships of together $4,000 tons are in
the course of construction at the four
naval arsenals and at the Mitsu Bishi
and the Kawasaki shipyards. The kinds
and names of these warships are as

His Awful Threat.

And right in the middle of that lit
tie channel the other member of the
government experts had a prophetic
vision and swore that if they would
not turn back, he would jump over
board and swim back And he had no
sooner said that when that diabolical
exhaust pipe gave one last diabOlical
chuckle and busted.
After that the expert was with diff
ficulty prevented from carrying out his
awful threat. Delicately speaking Mr..
Low sadly remarked at the completion
of the trip that the gentleman needed
2 little electric iron on the soles of his
feet. ~
The launch was put about and was
taken into Kihei where J. H. Cremer
of Puunene supplied a new piece of
pipe. The government expert is still
on terra fTma The others, however,
were not -nannted and Low went out
and hired'a Japanese sampan and man
aged to get to Kahoolawe in good time.
Here Low who has lease on the entire
island, made little tour and then took
the rest of the party back to Makena.
Then he went back to Kihei where he
again took command of the Elizabeth
he picked up Hosmer.
Everything Lovely.
Everything was lovely after that and
after Hosmer had been taken to Ma
kena the launch was taken around to
Lahaina and Low went back to Ulu-
palakua where, as he put it, he roped
cattle, busted broncos and did little
things like that. He feels perfectly
confident now that he can hOgtie and
throw the new board of supervisors, of
which he is a member, until he can
make it cat out of his hand.
Coming back was just one long beau
tiful JOY ride with Cremer's exhaust
pipe singing hymns from the Molol1ai
light to the channel buoy. They left
Lahaina at eight o clock yesterday
morning and passed the Molokai light
at half-past twelve. There Sheriff Jar
rett, Low and his engineer made lit.
tie pool and laid II on the time Of
arrival. Low, the optimist, said that
they'd arrive at a quarter 10 five. Bill
jarrett, the cautious estimator, reckon
ed that they would make II at five and
the engineer, who had his eye on the
exhaust pipe, thought that quarter
past would be more ike g..

Besides the construction of the above
named warships, the Mitsu Bishi and
the Kawasaki shipyards are occupied
with the building of the engines for
the battleship Kawachi and of various
other accessories, and therefore the
building capacity at the domestic ship
building yards may be said to be en-
gagged to the full Mt present. Further
more, the vessels included in the pre-
dIIdHEtA tDhobluGAAOh B'pSANhii "iAi~A
are to be completed by the end of the
forty.ninth fiscal year include; besides
the battleship Kawachi and Settsu, the
! Kurama which is a sistership to the
cruiser newly ordered from England,
another cruiser, which is a sistership
to the Hirado and Yahagl and several
smaller warships.
Under these circumstances the present
capacity of the home yards is hardly
able TO take up any further construc-
tiOn, as that would be too much for
their present capacity. This, and the
necessity to obtain n model OF the lat
est naval architecture, the new naval
constructions of the powers have Oblig-
ed the authorities to have recourse to
foreign shipbuilders for the construc-
tion OF the new cruiser. The measures,
therefore, by no means runs counter
TO the principle 10 build all warships
at home yards in the future.

THE WEARY WANDERINGS Of A HAWAIIAN
ULYSSES AND THE PIPE THAT WENT WRONG

There is a new Odyssey to be writ.
ten, a real Hawaiian one full of thrills,
seasickness and exhaust pipes and even
bottle of beer that the quartermaster
swiped when the lord and master of the
storm-tossed vessel wasn't looking.
The trip of this new Ulysses did not
take ten years, but abut as many days,
with Doc Raymond as the fair Gree
who charmed him into breaking his
eventuous voyage. And Eben Low, SUI
pervisorelect, was the wandering hero
who encountered storms and gales and
sick entomolOgists aud other inconve-
nienees appertaining to a properly con
Quoted Odyssey.
Back in the dim ages, about last Mon
day, Eben Low left Honolulu harbor
at half-past seven clock in the morn
ing in the launch Elizabeth, the neat.
est little naphtha craft in the Hawaiian
channels. He made a record run and
half.hour past noon he passed the
Molokai light and patted himself on
the back.
Gale swoops Down.
After he got o1t in the Maui channel
things took different turn and a man
sized gale swooped down on him. He
Rugged the coast down as far as Ka-
malo harbor, when he turned into the
channel and with the big mainsail aid
ing the engines drove down to Lahaina,
which he reached at half-past six, a
remarkable trip.
This good record, however, was only
the bait that Fate was trailing him
along with. All the time a little flaw
in the exhaust pipe began to increase
itself. He did not know this. If he
had, he would have replaced it and
taken out all the romance of his trip.
So the next day he went around to
Makena and every time the engine
chugged the flaw laughed in its sleeve
and made careful preparations to burst
at the psychological moment.
After that he went up to the Ulupa,
lakua Ranch where he found Alec Dow
sett and Doctor Raymond enjoying
themselves and he spent several days.
There he also eventually met Chief
Forester HOsmer aud another member
Of the government scientific staff. II
was decided that Low should take the
government men across TO Kahoolawe,
which has just been set aside as for
estry reserve and which Hosmer want
