WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ga
firm determination has been reached
by Senator John r. Shafroth of Colo
rado, chairman OF the committee on
Pacific islands and Porto Rico, which
has to do with all territorial mat.
ters, to visit Hawaii and ascertain
legislative requirements at first

better position TO protect its inter-

conditions.
The time of Senator Shafroth's vis-

II Congress adjourns by June /, of
this summer, he will seek to make the
journey. Otherwise, he will postpone
Il until next year, leaving immediate
ly after the short session adjourns

During the congressional recess last
autumn Senator Shafroth went to Por-
to Rico and carefully examined the
necessities and ambitions of that is
land. II is his purpose TO do the same
with reference to Hawaii.
Ii is probable a number of other
senators will accompany Mr.. Shat

charge of whatever the tolls amount
to-" .--.
At the present time, the Sugar Fac.
tors Company ships about 100000 tons
of freight to eastern markets, but the
amount to this destination is decreas-
ing gradually from year to year, as
the Pacific coast develops and its
sugar eating capacity increases. 1t
may be in time, that all the sugar the
islands can make will find its logical
market in the West, but when this
will be depends almost entirely upon
how fast the western states increase
in population with the stimulus to inn
migration afforded by the canal and
other causes. AS it is good deal
more than half of Hawaii's sugar now
finds its market at the coast refineries.
Of the estimated output of 550, 900 tons
for this years crop. about 350,900 tons
will go direct to San Francisco and
vicinity And this is an increase of
about $4,000 tons over what was ship
ped there last year.
At the present time, the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company has the
exclusive contract for carrying the
sugar shipped to the Atlantic, and this
contract continues in force till Sep
tember, 1915. The contract freight
rate, via the Tehuantepec route, is
$3.50 per ton. 1t was stated recently
at the meeting Of the Eva plantation
shareholders, that under its contract
the shipping company will reduce this
rate through the canal by 81 per ton,
subject to any toll charges, which win
only mean saving of between 40 and
so cents on ton of sugar 1t is re-
ported, however, that with the making
of new contracts after 1915, that a
number Of steamship companies are
likely to be competitors for the busi-
ness, and that rate through the ca
nal of something between S. and 81
a ton may then be expected.

The governor for instance wants to
know how much land is available. He
not long ago called before him the
land commissioner, the surveyor and
the superintendent of public works
and Forester Hosmer and told them
that he wanted them to correlate
their knowledge regarding the lands
of the territory so that their reports
would jibe. He didn't want a system
by which the head of every depart

did not exactly fit with the presenta-
tion of another department or bureau.

With the repeal of the Panama ca

$4,000 per year. The territory as
4 whole will suffer also to the extent
of an added cost on all imported
freight through the canal to the extent
Of 55 or so cents a ton. How much
this will amount to can not be foretold
since it is dependent upon the changes
in origin Of freight shipments which
the opening Of the canal may cause.
Of course the reduction in freight
rates with the Atlantic seaboard which
the canal will effect for commerce,
will be a big net gain for the islands
over present rates, with the precarious
position Of the sugar industry occa-
stoned by the removal of the tariff
duty, the burden of canal tolls is not
to be despised.
If the coastwise shipping is COM

mean toll fee of 81 per registered

That one squadron of the 4th Cav

for 1t.
The original plans for the garrison

of permanent quarters for one squad

away from The islands. ~.
Colonel Beach has not yet announc
