being 10000 stars TO the square de-
gree of the heavens. He has further

STRIKE PUTS END TO
SPECIAL VOLCANO TRIPS

The Tie-up of the Inter-Tsland ves-
sells through the strike will have the
effect of putting an end for the pres
ent to the volcano trips with special
rates as advertised by the company,
and as result it is feared that the
strike. if long-coneinued, will affect
the tourist travel to the islands.
1t is possible for tourists wishing
to make the trip to the volcano to use
the Matson vessels but the rate for
the journey is higher and there is no
special arrangement applying as to
hotel rates and land transportation.
It is probable that if a settlement is
not reached soon, an effort will be
made to make arrangements with the
MatsOn Company for a volcano tour.

SUGAR At The NEXT SESSION

Hawaii has little to fear from the present
Congress, either at this session or next, IN tn"
way of sugar tariff reduction.
So much was made clear by the action CT the
senate ON the Lodge-BriStow substitute for the
house free-sugar bill. In passing tn" senate
substitute, the senators, Republican and Demo-
cratic alike, put themselves on record not only
by vote but by statement in a way they can hard
lv overlook when Congress meets for the winter
session.
Senator Williams, in a report on behalf Of th"
Democratic members of the finance committee,
could not indorse free sugar because they hr-
lieyed the sugar tariff one of the big r"venu'pr"-
flrieers of the present law. The report added

ARBITRATE = THE STRIKE!

The people Of Hawaii call for Il settlement of
the Inter Island strike
With public and private interests suffering,
at a cost of many thousands Of dollars daily to
the business of the territory, with danger al
ways that safety of life and property will be
threatened, the strike must be settled soon in
justice to the people Of this TERRITORY.
The situation is more serious than a quesio
of wages between employer and employee; it is
more serious than principle of overtime; it is
the question now of public. interest injured and
that injury increasing every minute that the
Inter-ISland steamers are tied up at their
Whafyes
The Star-Bulletn this morning discussed
withirepresentatiyes of both sides of the cOntrO
yefsy, switlr public officials and with business
meplof the city the suggestion that the existing
differences beafhifrafed. ..> =.
lone objection Was voiced against afbitra
! ton Not one protest was made. The Inter-Isl!
ana officials and the striking captains and
mat while naturally they cannot agree at once
to arbitration without knowing the details of the
plan, are favorable to the suggestion.
Both sides realize the extent to which the in
terest of the people is being damaged by the tie
up of the great transportation company. Both
sides want the differences settled and the steam
ers in service again.
Two methods of arbitration have been sug-
gested, through the courts and through a ncu-
trail board of arbitratOrs. The courts have the
advantage of formal organization and method of
procedure recognized as impartial by all con-
cerned. A board of arbtrators would possibly
have the advantage of being able to considerl
points not admissible as legal evidence, but
which would bear powerfully on the moral isl
snes involved.
Whatever method is to be followed, let it be,
followed qiickly. The moment that arbitration
is decided upon, the captains and the mates
should step back to their posts and the steamers
should 90 into active service.
The Star Bulletin recognizes that the corpor-
alton involved is private corporation, but it is
a public service corporation through the nature,
of it's business This paper recognizes ais" that
the striking masters and mates have grievance:
that is not question of public interest except
insofar as it has tied up Il public service com
nanv. But the controversy has passed all
bounds of private diff renee and is now qu"S-
item of public policy.
Public policy demands speedy settlement
and the way of arbitration offers both sides a.
methcd to which they cannot and should not
object.

THE FRENCH CABINET.

The new French cabinet is appar-
emily an emergency organization for
the purpose of carrying through eff
fectively the agreement with Ger
many on the Moroccan question. The
presence of Aristide BRAND and Theo-
phile Delcasse in the ministry, neith-
or. however. holding the portfolios up
on which their regulations are chief
ly recorded, would indicate that there
has been a successful effort made by
the premier, Nj. Poincare, to rally to
the government, for the~particular oc-
casion OF the ministry's formation.
some OF the strongest statesmen of
France. Leon Bourgeois and Jean
Dupuy may be taken also in the same
category. The fact that NJ. Delcasse
remains at the post of minister OF
marine, which he held in thHsaCaill-
eaux cabinet, foregoing the transfer
that had been arranged for him to
the ministry Of foreign affairs, which
is the post in which he distinguished
himself greatly some years ago ana
the resignation of which on his part
Is generally attributed to objections
made by Germany to his handling OF
the Moroccan crisis at its first APP
pearance, is especially significant Of
a disposition on the part of leading
statesmen of France to lend them
selves unselhshly to the accommoda-
ton of difficult situation. The Poin-
care cabinet seems to have been
formed somewhat in the same spirit

Dreyfus Attire It would De curl
Gus if it had similar history IN an
unprecedentedly extended lease OF
power. The minister of justice In
the new ministry is the brilliant Ar,s-,
tide BRAND, who, first as minister OF
public instruction in the Combes cab
met and afterwards as premier,
brought about the separation of the
church and state in France. His Wig
orous course that brought the great
railway strike to an end ranks as one
of the most effective acts of French
minister of this generation. A radical,
practically a socialist, BRAND did not
hesitate moment to assert the full
authority of the government when the
laboring men of France set them
selves al co1fict with it, evidencing
his appreciation of the responsibilities
that rested upon him in his high po-
sition as the chef of the national adj
ministration.
The Moroccan agreement is a sore
point in France 'andeit has some Sc
rious possibilities, ffz'it is not made
effective shortly and with complete
ness. It is the task of the Poincare
ministry ito carry through this inter-
n9tional agreement, which has given
dissatisfaction to both the parties who
have contracted it, the arrangement
being no more popular in Germany
than it is in France. That the states
men Of France recospize their re-
sponsibilities and are ableSo meet the
crises that are presented to the gov
ernment is again abundantly evident.
