SUGAR CARRYING
NEGOTIATIONS
MAY BE COMPROMISE OR MAT
TER MAY BE PASSED UP TO
SUGAR FACTORS.


Both President Dearborn, of the
American-Haw5iian Steamship Com
pany and Captain Matson of the Mat
son line of steamers, will leave Homo
lulu by different steamers in the last
days of the present week, the former
for New York and the latter for San
Francisco. 1t is expected that, by
that time, some compromise (if such
an adjustment of the rivalry may be
termed of the matter of freight car
rying between here and the Coast will
have been effected; but if both COM
panies are stubborn in their present
positions, it is not unlikely that the
whole subject will be passed up 10
the planters with the invitation to
choose we whom shall serve you"
Captain Matson's present position
is understood to be this: The Matson
steamers carry passengers between
Hawaii and Coast ports and thus earn
the right to claim full cargoes, out
ward. On account of the competition
of the other lines, Matson steamers
have invariably, except for Snort pc
RODS of each year, sailed from the Is
lands with light shipments. A far
share of the sugar business is desr-
ed, and must be had to maintain the
excellent passenger service now in
vogue, and, even at that, a more
equitable division of inward business
is claimed as a right.
! 1t is understood to be the Matson
determination, however, that there
shall be no increase in the rates for
carrying sugar from the islands to
either eastern or western ports. IN
event of any effort antagonistic o
this idea, present or future efforts al
an understanding would be greatly
hampered.
