ALetter From Hilo.

HILO, March 2S.-The Hilo Labor
Union has received from Governor
Frear an answer to it's resolution ask
ing for the support of the executive
for an appropriation for a territorial
building for Hilo. The answer, which
is sympathetic, and also non-commit-
tai, reads in full as follows:
March goth, 1911.
Mr.. c. B. Makanui, Acting Secretary,
American Citizen Labor Union
Hilo, Hawaii.
Dear Sir: l have to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 10th
inst, enclosing a copy of the resolu-
tion passed by your Union regarding
a public building for Hilo, and to say
this will receive due consideration.
have already referred to the mat
cer of a public building for Hilo in
one of my messages to the Legisla-
ture There are of course a great
many demands for money for public
improvements at this session of the
Legislature and it is yet too early
in the session to attempt to say what
the prospects are for any particular
public improvement. There is NJ
doubt in my mind that Hilo should
have a good PUBLIC building, the ques
ton at present seems to be as to the
relative Importance of the various
public improvements contemplated
and how much should be raised by the
the issuance of bonds. Very truly
yours,
w. F. FREAR,
Governor.

Beef Prices Stay.

HILO, March considerable in
terast was taken by the public here
in a meeting of the big ranchers of
this island last week. Those who
took part therein were Manager A. w.
Carter of the Parker ranch, w. H.
Shipman of Pun 90, Robert Hind of
Kohala, Albert Horner of Kukaiau,
and Julian Monsarratt of Kapapala.
Matters relative to the beef supply
were discussed, but no conclusions
were arrived at, nor will anything be
settled definitely until several days
from now.
The public regarded the meeting OF
the big men with somewhat the state
of mind which agitated Mulvaney, a
kind of invidious apprehension, fear
ing that the price of beef might soar q
bit higher. However, one of the
ranchers stated after the meeting
that, while the wholesale price of beei
had risen one cent in Honolulu, the
price would not advance on this is
land, at least not for the present

The Smallpox Scare.

HILO, March 2S.-The health au-
thorities are at present very busy
with what may prove to be an out
break of varioloid, a mild form of
smallpox. Every precaution is being
taken to prevent the spread Of the
disease. However, no alarm is being
felt as the situation is well in hand
and the history of the cases quite
plain. AS a matter of fact, it is quite
possible that the cases may prove to
be nothing but chickenpox.
The first case was reported from
Kona last Monday, a Porto Rican be-
ing the patient, and Chief Inspector
Bowman Immediately wirelessed to
headquarters in Honolulu. Thence he
received orders to proceed to the
scene, which he did, and he is still
there. The neXtt discovery was made
last Saturday morning by DR.. Rittson,
who located a case in a Porto Rican
camp at Waiakea, and in the after
noon two more cases we're located in
the same camp. All these were taken
by Inspector Caceres to the quaran-
tine station, where they are now under
close surveillance. DR.. Sexton, the
government physician, stated yester-
day morning that one of these three
case in particular exhibited SUSPECT
GUS symptoms, but that it was quite
likely that it would turn out that the
patients we're suffering from chick
enpox. only Yesterday morning
another Porto Rican case was found
in the same camp, and the same pre-
cautionary measures were taken. 1t
has been found that the Kona patient
went to that district fnom the Waia-
kea camp about three weeks ago.

joying the protection of the United
States tariff is determined.
May Remove the Duty.
The point l wish to impress upon
you is that instead Of discriminating
against the Philippines, as you would
make it appear. that the Philippines
are enjoying a measure of protection
and therefore a favorable cOnsidera-
ton not extended to any industry in
the United States; and that state
ments such as you set forth on page
seven must lead to either of two
conclusions, viz, that the Philippines
are unappreciative for the measure of
protection which is extended to them
in the tariff, and which is many fold
larger than the measure of protection
extended to home industries, or, If
your statements are accepted and act
ed upon, must ultimately lead to the
almost complete removal of the duty
on sugar and of great injury to the
Philippine industry.
OF course, there is the possibility
that the Republican doctrine laid down
in the last national platform, above
referred to, may not be acceptable to
the country and that a tariff fixing
radically lower rates of duty may be
created, in which the interests of both
the Philippine and the home produc-
ton of sugar may be lost sight Of II
so, so much the worse for both in
dustries; but cannot believe that the
country will permanently depart from
the principle laid down by the last
national Republican Convention.
With many good wishes for the new
year and for you and the Philippines

w. L. CLAUSE.

tive cholera outbreak as an excuse to
damn Filipino labor, the plan is not
fair either to the laborers or the
Philippine Islands, and the love be-
hope to see grow apace will wane. A
member of the Cablenews-American
staff who passed through Honolulu
last December noticed a growing op-
position to the importation of Filipino
labor into Hawaii, and the present
hysteria looks like the outgrowth OIL
a scheme to get law to keep it out.
In some small spot of the fertile
land of Aloha cholera smites fifteen
Hawaiian Portuguese, whose lower
classes live on. practically the same
dietary and sanitary plane with the ma
tive population Of the Orient. Forthwith
a loud clamor against Filipino labor
is set up which carries even unto the
halls of the august Hawaiian legisla-
ture sitting in solemn session, and
these unhappy solons dutifully pro-
coed to agonize as though they them
selves were stricken. Truly a re-
markable proceeding in view of the
fact that one of every ten native Ha-
waiians who dies is said to be victim
of either leprosy, tuberculosis or
syphilis. In silence the Hawaiian
people are passing into extinction be-
cause of these diseases, but the welkin
rings with denunciations of the Fill

teen of their number succumb to

asked if any Filipinos there were
among the stricken, the admission
came back that there were none, but
with it the remarkable theory thai
Filipinos carried the germs all the
way across the Pacific without being
stricken themselves and transmitted
them to the Hawaiians when they got
ashore there.
We hold no brief for those who take
Filipino labor out of these islands. But
we do take issue with this move

MANILA, March 5.-"We are still
waiting to hear officially from Homo
lulu" remarked Doctor Carroll Fox,
acting director of health, yesterday,
in reply to an enquiry concerning the
report of cholera outbreak in those
islands and the belief expressed there
that Filipino immigrants were respon-
slble for it,
81 agree with Doctor Currie in his
statement that bacili carriers, be
they Filipinos or people of any other
nationality, are in themselves immune
from the disease and capable of trans
hitting to others what does not affect
them, but this is no proof, as 1 see it,
that the Filipinos carried the germs
of the disease from here to Hawaii.
GAS a matter of fact we have had
no cholera in the Philippines for the
past two months with the sole ex-
ception of the Catanduanes islands
which are out communication with
the rest of the archipelago.
81 am not in a position to state
just what length of time the cholera
bacillus would live in a carrier. In
fact 1 do not believe that point has
ever been determined although 1 am
inclined to think that so far as has
been determined the germ would not
live long enough in the system of the
carrier to make it possible for him to
carry it all the way from here to
Hawaii.
"The fact that all the fatal cases
have been among Hawaiian Portu
guese and presumably all other cases
judging from your cable, tends to
show that the disease originated else
where for the Filipino is just as liable
to take sick with the disease as any
one else, and in his own country more

SAYS AMERICAS MAIN SOURCE
OF SUGAR MAY Be PHILIPPINES

MANILA, March 5--An interesting
correspondence between Henry L
Clause, a Pittsburg millionaire, and
Harold M. Pitt, of Manila, has been
going on concerning the sugar situa.
ton in the Philippines. Mr.. Clause
who is interested in the American beet
sugar industry, thinks that the Philip
pines have already had favors enough
from the United States in the matter
of tariff reductions, and that further
encouragement of Philippine sugar
would be very detrimental to Ameri.
can sugar interests. To this Mr.. Pitt
replies with facts and figures.
Part of the correspondence follows:
Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 3, 1911.
Mr.. Harold NJ. Pitt, chairman of the
Publicity Committee, Manila
Merchants Association, Manila.
Dear sir:-Please accept my thanks
for the copy of your address to the
commissioners of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific
Coast, which l have read with a good
deal of interest, and with a great deal
of which l can agree.
May Be Americas Main Supply.
l wish again, however, to call your
attention to the error that underlies
the climax of your argument contained
in the first paragraph of page seven.
If the limitation now placed on i'm
ports of Philippine sugar into the
United States should be removed, and
assuming that you are right with re-
gard to the possibilities of cane sugar
production in the Philippines, the
Philippines would rapidly become the
principal source of supply for the
United States, and instead of being a
small auxiliary supply and a second
airy factor in considering the tariff on
sugar, it would at once become the
prime and the determining factor in
such consideration, and would be con
sidered as a part of our domestic
production. Under such conditions
what would determine the rate of duty
to be applied to the sugar schedule?
The last Republican national plat
form set forth the principle that tn,
rate of duty should be equal to tn,
difference between foreign and domes
tic cost of production, plus reason
able margin of profit, and as the Phil
ippine sugar would, under such con
ditions, be our principal domesti,
source of supply, the rate of duty fixet
would naturally be measured by tn,
difference in the cost of producing
sugar in the Philippines as agains
foreign producers. How large a meas
ure of protection do you think tn
Philippines would secure, measure,
by this principle, which is the prin
ciple by which all other products en-

was given last Saturday evening by
the Hilo Burns Club, a, large attend
ance of loyal Scotchmen gathering
together under the leadership of Pre-
sident w. Brien. The affair was given
in honor of four brother Scots who
will soon leave Hilo for far off lands.
One of these, George Calder, OF Waia-
kea, will return to Scotland. while
the other three, ]. Stewart, of Ono
mea, H. 1utchoon, Of Vainallu, and
Mr.. Sinclair, of Amaulu, will go to
South America. They will leave in
the Enterprise this week.
Appropriate speeches were made
and the rast of the evening was spent
with song and listening TO the bag

HlLO, March 28.-MaJOr Wtnslow
and Colonel Biddle arrived last Thurs
day morning in the Wilhelmina and
made an inspection of the breakwater.
They expressed themselves as well
satisfied with what they saw, and
Major Winslow gave a statement as to-
the plans for further breakwater con-
struction.
81 suppose you know that Congress
has passed an appropriation for break
water construction of $250,000, and has
pledged itself to pass another appro-
priation of a similar sum this winter"
said the Major. The former of these
is Immediately available. There will
probably be an advertisement in the
paper scaling for bids during the latter
part of April, and we expect to open
the bids in June.
I'VE will open bids for contracts
for the entire half million dollars. The
contracts will provide for two kinds of
construction. One will call for the lay
ing of superstructure, where the con-
tractor will build on top of the sub
structure which is now being laid by
Lord and Young. The other contract
will call for the continuation of the
breakwater out to sea from where
Lord and Young leave off. How soon
this contractor can go to work de-
ponds, of course, con when the work on
the present contract is finished. There
is, however, nothing to prevent the
present contractors from taking the
new contract, and, as a matter of
fact, the knowledge of existing condi-
tions which they gain through their
present work, should place them in a
very advantageous position to bid.
"In connection with the expenditure
of the appropriation for the construc-
ton of the breakwater, the Secretary
of War has been authorized to make
an additional survey of the harbor of
Hilo in order to determine whether it
is possible to develop a method of i'm
provement whereby the cost of the
breakwater construction may be de-
creased and the commercial possible
"In connection with this we will
make a survey to secure data with re-
gard to the two submerged Jumps
which are at the entrace of Kuhio
Bay. 1t is not absolutely necessary
that these be removed, for, as mat
ter of fact, the bay is available for
traffic as it is now, but if they were
removed traffic from and into the bay
would be considerably facilitated. We
will make the survey to obtain data
and will figure the cost of removing
these Jumps. We will then submit
our estimate to congress, which may
or may not pass the necessary appro-
priation, for we do not predict whaf
congress will do.
"Col. Biddle and yesterday inspec
ted the work which is going on under
the Lord and Young contract. o.
course, what is being done at presen
is largely of a preliminary nature, bu
can say that what We have seen 81
far is very satisfactory"
