SHIPPING NOTES.
JAPANESE PLANS.

Some time ago the Japanese De-
partment of Communications organic
ed a Committee for the purpose of in
vestigating and reporting upon the
condition of the maritime carrying
trade in Far Eastern waters. 1t is now
stated that the committee has COM
pleted its labors, and that the gist Of
its recommendations are that the SER
vices between ports on the Sea of ia
pan and Russian ports in the north
shall be increased, and that new lines
shall be opened between Japan proper
and the southeastern marts of Chi
ma. The former recommendation Is
based simply on the needs of an in,
creased or an increasing trade, but
the latter is due partially to the con,
sideration that Formosa has hitherto
been the most important point on the
route of southwark cargo, so that
goods going from Japan proper to
Annoy, Foochow, Swallow, ETC., have
had to travel round by Formosa and
Hongkong. This report remains to be
endorsed or rejected by the Depart
ment of Communications.
The Australian Mail
Though no advices have yet beer
received by Theo. Davies & Co. from
the Moana, it is anticipated that the
Canadian Australian steamer will ar.
rive at suva on Tuesday and leave

JAPANESE CANE CONTRACTORS

The Japanese cane contractors of
Hilo have formed an association,
which has formulated nine conditions
for requiring of the plantations.
Among the more important are that
the plantations shall pay the cost of
cutting and loading the cane and
SO so a ton for the cane, 800 an acre
twice year with z per cent interest
for boarding and fertilizer and that
the plantations take delivery of cane
at place of cutting. In a special edi-
ton a Japanese paper of Hilo says
the matter involves $15O,OOO a year,
which the contractors have been los
ing for want of agreement with the
planters.

Altogether sixty-five people made
the volcano trip by the Mauna Kea,
which is the largest of the season, and
almost equals the best of last season,
when 6S made the trip. The excellent
weather which prevailed made the ex-
oursion to the volcano very agreeable
In addition to the calm sea trip there
was no rain at Hilo or at the volcano
during the stay of the Mauna Kea in
port, and everything thus passed of
splendidly for the visitors.

Three Inter-Island boats came in
this morning, viz, the Mauna Kea,

trips. The Mauna Kea had one of the
best trips on record, in distinct con-
trast to the stormy weather she exper,
fenced on the trip prior to this one. 1t
was fine weather, moderate easterly
wind and smooth sea all the way, but
at Mahukona, Kawaihae and Maui
landings there was considerable of a

st.tuted, in all probability. at an early
day, in connection with the plan to open
Belmont street into 10Th street north

Capt T. w. Markham, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner, and approved.
An effort was made to acquire the nee
essary land by purchase, but the price.
il IS said was considered by the District
officials to be excessive. The institution
of condemnation proceedings was sug-
gcsted as the most cconom cal course IN
securing the property.
Plans have been drawn by District Eli
ginecr OF Bridges Baiy for building a
concrete wall along 18th street SO that
pedestrians from Belmont street may
descend TO 18th street by means of steps.
Belmont street will he extended i'm re-
verse curve into 18th street and ii is the
property over which it VIII pass that the
Commissioners propose to acquire by con-
demnation proceedings.
