One VIEW OF 'OCR CANAL"

The New York Tribune presents an interest
ing view of the Panama Canal question editor
tally as follows:
"The occasion of England's speaking is. that
the United States, in violation of it's plighted
faith, assumes to convert an enterprise of world
proportions and world benefit into one of selfish
advantage and discriminating interest. There
are those who will profit by this, and there are
others whose consciences are outraged by it. We
began by taking or stealing, the route, whose
title we had guaranteed to a friendly nation, a
sovereignty in a political sense, but family
use the fashionable wor.t-in an
other sense We robbed our own when we de-
spoiled an American nation. We are proceed
ing by degrading the worlds greatest facility of
commerce iIitota rake-off for single interest of
the nation. We have pledged ourselves against
and we are enacting it, and the
victims ask to be heard before they are plucked.
Those who will be insulted by the intervention
can only be those whose pockets are gaping for
the profits which alone can explain their action.
No man or interest who does not expect to profit
by the plan has been heard to raise defense
of it. There are politicians who will not get
their pay in dollars it is true, but they look for
strength among the voters who are appealed to
for support in, the name of giving something to
American interests"

STRIKE'PUTS END TO
SPECIAL VOLCANO TRIPS

The Tie-up of the Inter-Island YES
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 a result it is feared that the
strike, if long-continued, will affect
sthe 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.
1t is probable that if 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 the
way of. sugar tariff reduction.
Sosmuch was made clear by the action of the
senate on the Lodge Bristow substitute for the
house free-sugar bill. In passing the senate
substitute, the senators, Republican and Demo-
cratic alike, put themselves on record not only
bv vote but by statement in way they can hard
Iv overlook when Congress meets for the winter
session.
Senator Williams, in a report on behalf of the
Democratic members of the finance committee,
could not indorse free sugar because they he

He beat around the subject but never
came to the point of stating that his
mission was connected with immigra-
ton. In answer to questions he put
about the labor situation here, | told
him we were bringing in more Fill
pinos, and, although they were not
equal to the Japanese as laborers,
they gave promise of being satisfac-
tory Iafter they. had become accli-
mated. .7.>' - :
Il am informed that Mr.. Tanaka
talked to others to whom he had been
introduced in just about the same
manner as he had to myself-trying
to draw them out on the subject Of
renewing the immigration of Japanese
to the Islands. He was called home
suddenly, however, on account of the
expected death of the Emperor, be-
fore he had carried his mission, what
ever it was, beyond the stage of inves-
tigation."
Asked by the reporter about the
present lay of labor conditions, Mr..
Smith said a better class of FilipinOS
than formerly is now being introduced
Greater care is being used in their Sc
lection. With regard to Portuguese
and Spanish immigration, great diff
ficulty has been met in the matter
of charters for vessels. There seems
to be a great demand for steamers in
the Atlantic
DR.. Clark is now in Russia making
investigations into the feasibility of
obtaining agricultural laborers in that
country. Mr.. Smith emphasized "agri-
cultural" saying the great trouble
with most Of the Russians heretofore
coming is that they have not belonged
to the farming class.

1ARBITRATE THE STRIKE!

The people of Hawaii call for settlement of
the Inter-IsIand strike -
rs With public and private interests suffering
/ at 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, 1.-THE strike must be settled soon in
justice to the people Of this territory.
The situation is more serious than a question
Of wages between employer and employee; it is
more serious than a 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
wharves. 1879 r......< -
The Star Bulletin this morning discussed
with representatives of both sides of the eontro-
rersy, with public officials and With business
men Of the city the ggestion that the existing
differences be sarI,itrated. Ii ~ at.,stt.,+~>s
Not one objection was voiced against arBitra-
tom Not one protest was made. The Inter-Isl-
and paici:ik and the sstriking captains and
mates, while naturally they cannot agree at once
td 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 smethods of arbitration have been sug-
gesicd,--t through the courts and through neu-
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 arbitrators would possibly
have the advantage of being able to consider
points not, admissible as legal evidence, but
which would bear powerfully on the moral is
sues involved. -
WhateyeIs method is to be followed, let it be-
followed quickly. The moment that arbitration
is decided upon, the captains and the mates
should step hack to their posts and the steamers
should go into active service.
The StarBulletin recognizes that the cOrpOr-
alton involved is a private corporation, but it is
a public service corporation through the natureI
of its business. This paper recognizes also that
the striking masters and mates have a grievance
that is not a question of public interest except
insofar as ID has tied up public service com
pany. But the controversy has passed all
bounds of private difference and is now qucs-
ton of public policy.
Public policy demands speedy settlement
and the way of arbitration offers both sides al
method to which they cannot and should not
object.

WEATHER ENHANCES THE WHEAT MARKET
Southwest Dry Weather In- fluential Particularly in
 Delivery

Chicago. December 26.-Southwest dry weather was influential in enhancing the wheat market today, particularly delivery This option closed 14desc over Tuesday May gained 14d3se net. Corn closed 1-l6c higher to isc down. Oats were unchanged to kmi4e down. Provisions gained some what in price. Farmers of the southwest through brokers said their fields were bare of snow covering, and that unless there is a blanket soon January bids fair to develop damage to the germinating crop, The effect was felt chiefly by the July option, which was purchased liberal- ly May was sold rather freely. presum- ably against cargoes of Duluth wheat bought for spring shipment to Chicago or Buffalo, and against Minneapolis and South Dakota sales of cash wheat to ar rive by rail. Sales later were on a basis oe 19sc below the price of May in this market. Most foreign markets were closed. An English authority made the statement that North America holds the key to the shipping adjunct. Trading was mostly bearish. Primary receipts and the final government report showing Kansas raised 92a1o,OOO bushels of wheat thls year. as against T, GOO bushels in 1911. July sold between SSssc and SsAd S99so, closing 1aa9sc advanced at S9e. May ranged between small areas.
 With favorable weather and the move ment of the crop limited, corn ruled easy. Temperatures were too summer like to call for a heavy feeding out as yet. Cash houses and a leading speculation lead the selling's array. May closed ls lower at 4Siac. Trade in oats was uneyentful eX- eept for small sales by December longs to cash houses. The tone was barely firm. May ranged between S27sc and S3d3S1sc c and closed 1s@14c down at 323se. The pro- visions pit was apathetic. Fluctuations Were confined May pork closed 71Ac high CT at s1s.S21a; May lard closed a shade higher at s10, and May ribs 2iae improved at $9. .S21s

THRILLING ESCAPE OF SAILORS IN A STORM
Vessel Run Ashore and Crew Rescued by Life
 Rope

Penzance. England, December 26.-The Italian steamer Tripolitania. from Genoa to Barry. Wales, was wrecked in Mount 5 Bay. on the extreme southwest coast of England this afternoon. Twenty-seven of a crew of 9S men had a trilling es- cape; the other was drowned.
 The vessel had been buffeted by fierce gales since Christmas morning. The cap tain today found himself h perilous position and unable 10 get out of the bay. determined to run ashore. The beach was lined with spectators, power less to lend aid. who watched the vessel almost helpless in the grip of the wind and the tide. Finally the steamers nose was pointed shoreward and she drove in under full steam, running deep into the sandy bottom.
 A life. rope was rigged, to one end Of which the crowds ashore clung, and one by one the crew left the vessel, over which huge waves were breaking. One of the men was carried off by heavy comber.

ASK DEATH PENALTY
 FOR MRS. BURNHAM

Chicago. December 26.-The death penalty will be asked in the case of Mrs. Harriet M. Burnham, who today was placed on trial charged with slay- ing her husband, Herbert E Burnham. June 10, last. Attorneys for the state in their opening statement announced their intention of requesting the ex- treme penalty.
 The jury was completed in two hours. breaking all recent records in murder cases in Cook county. All of the jury men said they would infict the death penalty if they thought the evidence warranted it.
 Mrs. Burnham will plead self defense. She alleges her husband abused her while intoxicated.
