It 19 more than probable that the Japanese Russian war will prove oi immense benefit to the Hawaiian Islands. This benefit will be of an indirect character however, for it will con cern the supply of labor for these islands. The longer the war con tinues the more likely is the labor supply apt to increase. W. F. Sands who has for the last four years been chief adviser to the Korean emperor, is a through passqugcr 011 the (transport Thomas. He is going to the Mainland on business. Mr. Sands states that if the war continues it is likqly to have the effect of causing Koreqns to migrate in large numbers to the Hawaiian Islands. "The reports," he said "received in Korea from the Koreans in the Hawaiian Islands have been yery favorable indeed and there is a desire on the part of Koreans to come to these islands. The Koreans are not a warlike people. They are an agricultural race and they prefer to engage in that pursuit to following the profession of arms. The war and the presence of the Japanese troops in Korea are likely to cause many Koreans to come to this country. I believe that many will come to these islands during the war." Mr. Sands was desirous of visltipg some of the Koreans to see how they were getting along in their new fields oi labor. He was informed that they were working on the sugar plantations Inasmuch as the trans port Thomas remains but a few hours in Honolulu he did not expect to see any of the Koreans on the plantations. Unban Hngar Crop. Washington, D. C, Feb. 21. A belated report from Max J. Baehr, Consul at Cienfugos, on the sugar crop in Cuba, written late in De cember last, is made public by the Department of Commerce and Labor as follows: 1 "Sugar grinding in the districts tributary to Cienfugos is now be ginning under most auspicious cir cumstances, and the planters, elated over the recent passage by theUnited States Congress of the long-delayed reciprocity measure, are looking to the future with optimistic eyes. An approximate estimate of the output of the leading 'igenips' (sugar mills) in southern Santa Clara for the grinding season of 1903-4 is given as 1,537,000 bags. From these figures it will be seen that the crop now at hand exceeds that of any former year. Many are already devising plans to make the sugar crop oi the coming year phe nomenal in the history oi this Pro vince, and much land which has been untitled for several seasons, as well as many acres of absolutely virgin soil, will be brought under cultivation." Hearing on t'onnty Act. Washington, Feb. 17. Repre sentative Spalding, chairman of the sub-committee which has in charge the county bill, has agreed to give a hearing tomorrow afternoon to W. O. Smith and Delegate Kalanianaole td ascertain whether it is wise to attempt to re-enact that law. Mr. Charles Clark also is working to have the bill re-enacted. The Del egate is said to be following a line of action suggested by letters from Governor Carter. The Delegate is preparing to make statements to the House Committee on Territories, February 18, on sev eral pending Hawaiian bills. He has prepared a lot of matter for presentation to the committee on that day. Ex-Attorney General E. P. Dole of Honolulu is still here. He is understood to be a candidate for the place of Justice Galbraith on the Territorial beuch as soon as the term of the present incumbent ex pires.

The share holders of the Grand Trunk rail road have ratified an agreement with Canada to construct the line to the Pacific Coast. Htory of Hon His Meeting Broken Up. How the Australians break up a public meeting is shown in the ac count given by the Sydney Herald of Feb. 18, of the turmoil in which Prophet Dowie fouud himself. A part of the story follows: When the meeting opened punct ually at 8 o'clock the hall flooring and balcony was crowded. Mr. Dowie on making his appearance received a cordial reception, and everything pointed to a rqpst suc cessful meeting. Proceedings com menced by the singing of a hymn, followed by prayer, offered by Overseer Voliva, chief of the Zion church in Australasia. Overseer Hawkens, in introduc ing Mr. Dowie said he scarcely thought that such an audience would refuse to hear the Overseer uenerai, ana asicea tnat no one would permit interruption. He ap pealed to every good, citizen to maintain perfect order. (Cheers, and a voice: "Good enough"). "I'm very thankful fpr what I feel to be a sympathetic chord in hearts." commenced Mr. Dowie. "My heart," he continued, but was so affected that he, could not speak for some time. Regaining his com posure he continued, "I would have been very sorry to have left Sydney with the thought that my last meet ing had been disturbed. I shall talk to you concerning the Chris tian church of Zion, its foundation, and what has led up to its being a really workable model city. I will first read to you a chapter from Isaiah that is very much in our hearts in Zion." On the conclusion of the reading of the lesson cheers were given, which led Overseer Hawkens to say, "I ask the law-.abiding to watch those who whistle, and per haps something will happen. .Point out deliberate interrupters." (In terruption and cheers follow). Mr. Dowie then went on to des cribe the situation and area of Zion City. He pointed out that in two and a half years over 10,000 per sons bad settled in the city, and that they had a central tabernacle which seated 7000 people. It was far too small. Now Zionites were building a tabernacle that would seat 16,000 people. A voice: "Why don't you build pne in Sydney?" ,Mr. Dowie: "Have we enough people in Sydney to build a taber nacle for?" Cries of "Yes" and "No," and interruption. Mr. Dowie: "Be kind to me to night; treat me with a little cour tesy." He then went on to describe women's work in Zion and of the visit of the Zionites to New York, where he said that every house, every commercial establishment, bad been visited, and he had ad dressed large meetings nightly. Further interruptions occurred, and several men were removed from the back of the hall, and during the accompanying commotion hymns were sung to restore order. Mr. Dowie (angrily): "I can not go on talking, straining my voice like this. I am not speaking for money. (Derisive cheers.) I am not speaking for money, I re peat,," be said. "I have all the money I need. (Incredulous whis tles.) I urn speaking now in the interests of humanity, and trying to give you a message that will be a message " (Disorder.) Con tinuing Mr. Dowie said that about a thousand men were employed in be building and manufacturing association, and that 70 per cent of profit made on contract went to the workmen, 20 per ccut to the asso ciation, and 10 per cent to the church. Auother industry (j general disorder, and the ejectment of several of the noisy elemeut.) Singing was again resorted to, but the crowd were evidently becoming out of baud, and Mr. Dowie de manded in a loud voice: "Do you want me to continue speaking?" A storm of noes an swered the question. "I only want to say that in Ziou City we have found the solution of the great social problem of progress " Mr. Dowie's voice was here drowned by a perfect uproar, and whilst vainly trying to make hint- I self heard above the pandemonium, a serious disturbance occurred, which had the effect of bringing the meeting to an abrupt end thenrrcst of a prominent Zionist and another member of Mr. Dowie's staff. The trouble started in the center of the hall, where there was a great crush. Very little attention was bcii;g paid to the remarks of the preacher. The crowd found diversion in little trivialities which occurred around them, and amused themselves every now and again in breaking into song. The noise from the crush gradually grew louder, nnd a man in uniform, who acts as a bodyguard to Mr. Dowie, stepped off the plat form, with Pastor Voliva, overseer of the Zionist movement in Austra lia. Both made their way to the seat of the disturbance. They squeezed through the crowd towards those who wire screeching at the top of their voices and said some thing to them. They replied with hoots and jeers, and several police men then made their way forward to render assistance. Mr. W. N. Willis, member of the State Legislature, at this juncture walked down the center of the hall, and became interested in the disturb ance. He was heard dmidst the din to order a policeman to arrest Pastor Voliva and another Zionist, named Middleton, on the ground that they had used threatening language to him. This unexpected develop ment created groat excitement, and the meeting was immediately in an uproar. A slight delay ensued be fore the policemen carried out the request, as they were taken by com plete surprise. , In the meantime the audience pressed round to see the nature of the trouble. The result was that the policemen were roughly handled in their endeavors to keep the crowd away, and great disorder ensued. Several additional policemen made their way with difficulty to the seat of the disturbance, and Voliva and Middleton, who were astounded at the turn of events, were escorted through the crowd. This task was .accomplished with the utmost diffi culty, and it was fortuuate that no one was seriously injured. The efforts of the police to force back the people were fruitless, and the constables were simply pushed and forced towards the nearest exit door. The member for the Barwon .mounted a chair and, waving a cane and gesticulating vigorously, tried to address some remarks to a crowd which surged round him. What he said, however, was absolutely drowned in the din. Noticing him in an elevated position, the crowd cheered him, and these cheers were taken up by the majority present. Meanwhile Mr. Dowie was advis ed by those on the platform that it was useless to continue his sermon, and he beat a hasty retreat through the platform door, followed by his immediate adherents. Then a sec tion of youths, crying "We want Dowie," forced their way towards the organ gallery, with the evident intention of molesting the Zionist leader, but they were repelled by a detachment of police, headed by Sub-Inspector Sherwood. This particular crowd, foiled in their object, surged back into the body of the hall, and contented themselves , with shouting after the Zionists, t and interspersing their remarks t with combined choruses of "Bring out your prophet." All the pop ular songs were tried in turn, and this disorder was continued for about a quarter of an hour, when the ball began to gradually empty. When Mr. Dowie and his follower left the platform, some one, sur rounded by a yelling crowd, shouted "he's getting away: outside after him." Immediately there was a scramble amongst a lot of young fellows to get out of the hall. They were followed by others, and all . congregated outside with the' avowed intention of greeting Mr. , Dowie in a very hostile manner. ' The shouts of "We want Dowie," were at times aeaiemng. Air. Dowie, however, had been made aware of the throng of people in the front of the Town Hall, and immediately he left the platform he made bis way into a vehicle which was waiting at the back of the building in a most unfrequented place. A side gate was opened, and thecab was at the Hotel Aus tralia long before the crowd had time to realize that Mr. Dowie had left the precincts of the building.
