PUSHING HILO
R. R. EXTENSION

"The cars are now running out a
mile beyond Pepeekeo," said Editor L.
S. CONFESS of the Hawaii Herald this
morning relative to the Hilo railroad
extension.
THE only thing holding them back
from Hakalau is the Honomu fill,
which is the biggest piece of work on
the road. This fill is 1875 feet high.
Work is progressing rapidly, though,
and they ought to be at Hakalau by
the first of October, which means that
trains will then begin running to that
point.
They are going ahead with the
bridges beyond where the track is laid
hauling the material out with horses.
THE work beyond Hakalau is going
ON rapidly in charge of G. H. Kluegel,
the chief engineer. Maulua gulch tun-
mel, the longest one on the line, is in
about HOO feet out of the 2SOO feet
to go altogether. Gangs are working
all the time, day and night, showing
it through.
Five trains day are now running
out of Hilo to the end of the completed
line. A great deal of freight is being
held, NUT no sugar yet.

NOTABLE ADDRESS

might be claimed that we would be
called upon to submit to arbitration
the Monroe doctrine, our right to eX-
clude foreign peoples from our shores
or the question of the validity of the
southern bonds issued in reconstruc-
ton days.
These suggestions have nothing in
them
"The question of the Monroe policy
is not a justicible one. 1t is one of
purely governmental policy, which we
have followed for a century and which
the countries of Europe have gener-
ally acquiesced in. Certainly, with
RESPECT to this very matter, Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British secretary of
state for foreign affairs, has announced
publicly that the Monroe policy could
not be disputed by Great Britain I'M
der this treaty and would not come
within it's terms.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-09-04
Investigation Excluded.

with respect to the exclusion of
immigrants it is a principle of inter-
national law that each country may
allow those to come to it's shores
whom it chooses to have admitted to
the country, and may reject others,
and that this is subject Of domestic
policy which no foreign country can
interfere in, unless it is covered by a
treaty, and then it may become prop
erly a question of treaty construction.
But, in the absence of a treaty, it is
not an arbitrable question.
with reference to the right to in
volve the United States in a contro-
versy over the obligation of certain
Southern states to pay bonds issued
during the reconstruction, and which
have been repudiated, it is sufficient
to say that such a question would not
come within the treaty, for the treaty
only affects cases hereafter arising,
and the cases of the Southern bonds
all arose years ago.
