George NICK. Mcclellan, assistant sec
retaryto Delegate Kuhfo and the
chambers representative, asking him
to see Secretary Redfield and find ont
if Section 13 had to be complied with
by foreign vessels calling here mere
ly for temporary accommodation. This
morning Mcclellan cabled back that
the secretary seemed favorably dis
posed toward a ruling that compliance
would not be necessary. Hardly had
this message come when Collector of
Customs Franklin received his cable
gram from the department of com.
merce, informing him that Section Is
does not apply in the class of cases
mentioned. Secretary Brown at once
cabled to Mcclellan congratulating
him on his effective work.
Today's ruling means, according to
the custom-house, that tramp
steamers calling at this port only for
bunker coal and supplies will not be
required to have their crews certified
as able seamen under the Seamen' S
Act, or to have them take the langu.
age test. , -.
Since the act went into effect March
Is on foreign ships calling at Amer.
lean ports, much delay and inconve-
nience have been caused steamers
coming here only for bunkers and pro
visions, particularly japanese boats.
Section Is of the Seafnefi's Act, as
it has hitherto been interpreted
ports for bunkers or supplies to com
port for bunkers or supplies to com
ply with the act as concerns able sea
men and the language test before
clearance can be granted.
The section still continues to apply
however, to foreign vessels calling
here to discharge or load cargo, Com
plete compliance with the act will be
required in such cases. . j.. T..
1t is understood that the Inter.Island
Steam Navigation Company cabled to
Washington for a ruling on Section IL.
The corporation sells bunker coal to
tramp steamers of all .nationalities
calling here from every important port
in the world, and the act. requiring
compliance with the language and able
seamen's clauses by these boats, has
in several instances resulted in delay
to the boats and a good deal of ex-
pense as well. ...... ~. -. .......
The Inter-Island is also said to have
had a representative at Washington
explaining the situation to the depart.
ment of commerce, and emphasizing
the need for exempting ships calling
here only for bunkerS and supplies
from the requirements of Section Is
if Honolulu is to continue to be pat
ronized as port of call as much as
it has been in the past. ..:

Table No. g. Estimated Plantation Cash Balances and
Possible Dividends Without Reducing 1915 Balances

in these figures, but the NAH referred
to has estimated that this plantation
could pay IS per cent dividends.
OF course what makes such melon
cutting possible is the very high price
for sugar In making these estimates
continuation of the high prices l.
forecast, and reference to last years
prices show that they ruled higher III
the last half Of the year than in The
first half.
At the present time sugar is $32 a
ton higher than it was at the cores
bonding period last year.
While the cost of production will
be materially increased this year, ow
ing to the higher wages to be paid
labor under the new bonus plan, the
increased prices for sugar are figured
to more than offset this.
An estimate is made that the new
wage scale will increase production
cost about IS per ton. The figures
shown herewith are based on sugar
averaging $40 ton more than in
1915. AS a matter of fact it is aver
aging better than $50 ton more, SO
that. even if IS is added to the pro-
duction cost Per ton, there will still
be margin Of more than 81 ton
heavier receipts in 1916 than in 1915.

still exist, can tremendously unite.
This Is the essential thing. Republi-
cans must never again permit the
Democratic party to prance dry shod
into power through any Red Sea
cleavage in the Republican ranks:
The Republican convention Of 1912
had brainstorm-a epileptic At, and
fell into it. There was really little
difference among the delegates as to
fundamental policies, SO far as these
were national in scope; but there were
dominating personalities in that con-
vention whose motto seemed to be
"rule or ruin" The issue was not
party principle but personal power,
from which conflict there emerged a
new party radical. in many respects.
Radfcalism, said Lamartine, is but the
desperation of logic. Its history

not radical, neither is it react ionary---;
it Is national and, big, as opposed to
sectional and small. It is the. only
