Pointed Statements by Secy
Root on Immigration.
New York , Mch .14." Die Zrit , "
a daily newspaper of Vienna, eon
tains in its number of March 1st,
received in New York today, a re
markable interview by its Washing
ton correspondent with Secretary
Root. The Secretary of State went
over the whole immigration question
and in the course of his remarks
likened the influx of part of the
aliens nowipouring into the United
States Boiiemians, Jews, Rouman
ians, Poles and others to "the in
vasion of barbarians into the Roman
empire."
At the conclusion of the interview,
the Secretary confessed that he had
no remedy to suggest. The inter
view is as follows :
"Secretary Root--With regard to
the immigration problem, the Unit
ed States is now in the position of
. the Roman empire invaded y the
barbarians, who overran it in search
of riches.
"The barbarians Sarmates, Da
cians, Avarins, etc. were miserably
poor and the rich countries of the
Roman empire with their high cul
'ture, irresistibly attracted them.
"The same peoples I mean from
the same country that sent barbari
ans Romeward-Creotians, Bohemi
ans, Slovaks, Roumanians, Poles,
Ruthnians, Jews and uncultured
South Italians are overrunning the
United States. And, as in the olden
days, they bring their wives and
children, settle down in our midst,
pushing and crowding us and begin
life anew as if they were in a con
quered country.
"The Correspondent But the
. United States couldn't exist with-,
out immigration.
Secretary Root Agreed; but cir
cumstances absolutely require that
immigrants assimilate with our
nation. This assimilation was quick
and easy as long as the immigrant's
intellect and education were equal
to our own that is, during the
period when the great mass of future
citizens landing at our shores " were
Irish, German, French, Scotch or
Scandinavians. They came in good
ly numbers and were welcome, but
never reached present day figures a
million or more per annum, and of
this million, 750,000 are East
Europeans, people whom Europe it
self regards as only half civilized.
"Americans did not object when
those East Europeans came in small
bunches. While small in number,
they were obliged to educate up to
the country's average state of civi
lization. They assimilated because
they were constantly dealing with
Americans, having no countrymen
of their own to fall back on.
"But nowadays they come in re
giments and army corps and follow
each other so closely that their as
similation becomes impossible'
look into the Jewish quarter on the
""East SftiTe of Ney York, or into
Chicago's Polish quarter will ex
plain.
"I was thinking particularly of
the Japanese when I likened present-
day immigration conditions in Am
erica to those in the Roman Empire
at a certain period. The Japanese
immigration in the United States is
like the invasion of a foreign race
ready to decamp after securing the
coveted loot.
"It's the same with respect to i
certain grade of Italians the un
civilized southern Italians in parti
cular. But Italy, even less than
Japan, will not allow us to dic tate
whether or not her subjects come
here. And while it is clearly im
possible from the standpoint of in
ternational polities to prevent im
migration altogether, such a measure
would not meet with the approval
of the American people either
Americans insist that this is the
country of liberty, offering an asylum
to every honest man.
lie , correspondent In your
Salt Water is a
Succcssul Cure.
The assertion that the ancients
knsw more about mclicinc than
the best modem physicians is bril
liantly confirmed by t lie "salt-wa
ter cure" discovered by a young
French scientist, M. UeneQuinton,
who is proving that some of the
most serious ailments can be rapid
ly cured by the mere injection in
to the blood of ordinary sea-water,
says a Parisian paper.
By merely going back to Hip
pocrates and Pliny, M. Quinton is
to-day curing diseases hitherto
practically incurable.
Paris has now two dispensaries
where "piqures'' of sea-water are
administered. Nearly all skin dis
eases, infantile ailments, and
various forms of consumption arc
amenable to the treatment.
The "plasma de Quinton," as it
is called, is merely very pure sea
water taken at Arcachon some forty
feet below the surface, wher6 the
water is absolutely clear. The
water, already free from sediment
and organic matter, is sterilized
and used for injection under the
skin. Last April 2G8 injections
were made. In 15 per cent of the
cases cure immediately followed the
first injection; in 70 per cent, cure
followed after the sixth injection.
Gastro-enteritis, wnich carries
off 70,000 French children every
year, is easily cured by the "piqure.'
Children admitted into the dis
pensary in the Rue d'Ouessant in
the last stages of pulmonary tuber
culosis have shown improvement
after the first injection. Some of
these children were living skeletons
weighing less than at birth and un
able to retain any food. The first
njection gave them a healthy
appetite, and the improvement
continued with each successive
piqure."
Sea-water injection has no pain
ful reaction, and in addition to
curing specific diseases, leaves the
human organism healthier and
brisker than before. Each piqure
costs only ten cents.
French ladies of high birth are
promoting the cure. Among them
is the Marechal Macmahon, the
Comtesse.de la Rochefoucauld, and
a score of the best names in France,
who nurse the patients themselves.
The fundamental idea of the sea-
water cure is that salt water is the
base of all organic life. All or
ganisms existed originally in the
sea, and blood is itself nothing but
a modified sea-water.
A human beingj says M. Quin
ton, is a veritable marine
aquarium," and one-fourth of his
total weight consists of blood-serum
which is in essence nothing but the
sea-water in which his ancestors,
the monera and amoebae lived.
More than a million injections
of "plasma de Quinton" have been
administered in France during the
last four years. The cures number
thousands, and there is no record
ed case of a patient's disease being
aggravated by the treatment.
opinion, Mr. Koot, cio you thins
that the emigration question will
become a matter of ioliucs sooner
or later?
Secretary Root I only know
that it is discussed in public with
occasional interest and that it is
factor to Ik) reckoned with in our
relations with all foreign countries.
But as I said Ufore, it is a natural
phenomenon. Or, perhaps, I should
say an economic one. When Ameri
ca is rich, immigration increases; in
times of business depression it falls
off, seesawing like the rate of in
terest .
The Correspondent The simplest
solution of the emigration problem
then would be to allow the Unite
States to fall into provcrty.

Ranches May
Consolidate
Plans said to be Complete
for Consolidation.
Honolulu, April 25. Plans are
practically completed for the con
solidation of the Corn well ranch
and the'aymond Ranch on Maui.
The two when thus consolidated
will make one of the very large
ranches of the Islands.
The Henry Waterhouse Trust
Company, as administrator with
will annexed of the estate of '.Vil
liam II. Corn well, deceased, filed
its fourth annual and its final ac
counts some days ago in the Circuit
Court, and yesterday Judge Lind
say ordered them referred to J.
Marcallino as master, for examin
ation and report. In the fourth an
nual report the administrator
charges itself with $16,517,37 and
jtfks to be allowed $11,818.91. This
is up to January 5, 1908. The final
account charges the administrator
with $15,905.0!) . and allows it
154799.01; leaving . $11,100.08 in
cash to be distributed under the
will.
The real property of the estate
consists of the Kaonoulu Ranch,
comprising 4500 acres in fee simple,
with improvements consisting of
two houses and two cisterns; the
Goodness property situate in the
district of Kula, Maui, twelve acres
in fee simple, with improvements
consisting of a house and two cist
erns; lot 9, block 28, in Pearl City;
three shares in the undivided fee
simple land know as the Sniflin
Estate, situate in the district of
Kula, Maui; Apele land, consist
ing of seven acres more or less,
situate in Kula, Maui.
The personal property of the
estate consists of leasehold interest
in the government land at Waiohuli
and Keokea, having a little less
than four years to run; the total
lental paid for these lands is $1500;
3000 head of cattle large and small,
running on the land owned and
leased by the estate; forty head of
horses; one stallion; four jacks and
ten mules; cash with Henry Water
house Trust Co., Ltd., $11,106.08.
By his will William II. Cornwell,
after certain specific bequests, left
his entire estate in equal shares to
his widow and three children. He
directed that they should continue
to conduct the ranch for five years
from the date of his death, unless
they should sooner, by unanimous
consent decide to sell it. Mr. Corn-
well died November 1903, so that
the five years will not be up until
then. But the administrator has
now made his final account, and
the property is in shape to dispose
of to good advantage if a purchaser
should be found. It is stated that
an arrangement had been arrived
at by when the Cornwell and Ray
mond ranches are to be consolidate.
The filing of the administrator s
final accounts at this time is said
to be a part ot me pian ior me
consolidation.
A CommonSense View '
is Given of Vivisection.
We wish that some of our and
vivisection friends could learn to
be somewhat less extreme and vio
lent in their contentions. The more
zealous of them start with the as
sertion that nothing of importance
has ever been learned from vivi
section, and that it is not usual to
give anaesthetics to animals that
are vivisected. In their publica
tions are gathered dreadful stories,
ancient and modern, of horrible
cruelties committed by vivisection
ists, which they offer as fair ex
amples of what vivisection means.
A good many of them are quite as
earnest and indiscriminate against
vaccination as againat vivisection,
and would as soon abaish the one
as the other. They afe also op
posed to all the6erums. and incre

Manila Opinion
of Judge Wilfley.
Apropos of the news from Wash
ington Friday that the llone
Judiciary Committee had reported
unanimously against the impeach
ment 6f Judge Wilfley, for which
former Attorney General Lnrrin
Andrews of Hawaii had petitioned,
the following editorial from the
Manila Cablenews-American is in
terest ing:
"Virtue tiiumphs even in China.
Willley, abused in the press, sued
for heavy damages in Honolulu,
haled before a Congressional com
mittee for investigation, ridiculed
and charged with high crimes and
misdemeanors, is exonerated by the
Washington authorities, and prais
ed by President Roosevelt as a
highminded, fearless jurist, and a
scourge of vice in Shanghai.
"Taft when in Shanghai on his
way to Manila last fall made a
speech upholding Wilfley. Private
ly Taft thinks Wilfley a bore, but
an honest bore, who is not a grafter
nor a communicant with evil. Taft
wouldn't want Wilfley about him.
He feels toward him as Lincoln
did toward a politician of his time,
whose friends sought a foreign
mission for him.
" 'Sure,' said Lincoln. .'Tell the
Secretary of State to find one for
him, and the foreigner the better.'
"Taft found Wilfley a poor sup
port here, and was unwilling to
put him on the Commission despite
the desperate pleadings of Willley
and his friends. Taft however,
recognized tbat Wilfley had politi
cal claims, and gave him the fat
job in China where he would be
far away from Taft.
"Wilfley'B chief faults are an
overweening conceit and a lack of
humor. His merits are a fair con
trol of his appetites, somestudious-
ness, eqonomy and a statemanlike
face and figure. When he was At
torney General of the Philippines
the lawyers said that he was a
lightweight. His' assistants said
that he was lazy and generally
proved the wrong points in his
cases. liowever, lie has reacneu
his zenith now, for the President
has set his seal upon him, and he
returns to his post in China as a
winner.
"And after all in politics it's suc
cess that counts."
in the treatment of disease. Statis
tics of reduced mortality say, in
diphtheria cases gain no entrance
to their minds and have no effect
on their opinions. They know
that there have been vivisectionists
who have practiced atrocious cruel
ties, and have told of it, and they
do not want to know anything
more. These extreme and bigoted
abolitionists are the people who
are the most noisy in each recurr
ing discussion of vivisection, but
they contribute to it very little that
is useful except volumes of sound
and impassioned presentation of
the fact that vivisection is liable to
abuse. Much wiser persons have
drafted the bill of the Society for
the Prevention of Abuse in Animal
Experimentation, now before the
New York Legislature, which aims
to provide against the ubuse of
vivisection and punish it when it
occurs. Forty-three of the leading
physicians in New York have pub
lished in the newspapers a letter
saying that the present law issufli
dent, and deprecating the purpose
to "fetter the discretion of quail
tied persons'' by further its trie
tions. The opinion of these gentle
men curries great weight ; neverthe
less we read that the existing law
has been amended until now it
contains' no provision for the
punishment of persons who violate
the little that is left of it, and so
offers no protection against cruelty.
It would seem us if a few teeth
not too sharp, might perhaps bt
adjusted to the present law without
imperiling the progress of medicine.
It is vitally important liowever
that both the amendment and en
forcement of the law should be the
work of persons who think it more
suitable to experienient on adog to
save it baby, than to experiment
on a baby to save adog. Harper's

Haw. Commercial
Stockholders Meet.
San Francisco, April 5). Haw
sugar is expected to rise to 872 per
ton during the marketing of the
crop of 15)08, according to the pre
diction made yesterday to the stock
holders of the Hawaiian Commercial
ind Sugar Company at the annual
meeting of the corporation hc;ld in
the rooms of the Stock and 1'ond
Exchange, Merchants' Exchange
building. This means a raise of
nearly 85). The 15)07 crop was
marketed at S(io. '21 per ton. The
15)0i crop brought SKO.j:!.
The corporation will continue to
pay a monthly dividend of ti" cents
a share, aggregating s- .mi.iiuu an
nually.
This rise in sugar, according to
Eniil Tschumi, secretary of the cor
poration, is due to the failure of the
crop in Cuba, where a shortage of
500,000 tons is predicted. In other
parts of the world production of the
saccharine staple is light, except in
Hawaii, where there is promise of a
good crop.
At the meeting ye sterday 7,075)
shares of the company's stock were
represented. The annual report of
the corporation was filed. The board
of directors was re-elected for the
new term and afterward the stock
holders' meeting was called to order
and re-elected the oflieers of the
corporation. The following are the
