Members of the. Hawaiian

Piesidont Hackfeld called tho

ing tho following opening re
marks: Gentlemen In opening this
our annual meeting, congratula

During the passage 3&the new

United BtiteB considerable anxi
ety whs folk here in regard to tho
continuation of tho benefits now
enjoyed byUB under the Itecipro
city Treaty, but happily tho mat
tor was hually settled in our
favor, thus assuring to us for
a tirao at least a fair price
for our principal product,
A Treaty of Annexation between
Hawaii and tho United Statue, no
doubt a measure of considoiable
importance for our industry, is
now pending and awaiting action
by the U.S. 0 mgreas in December
next.
The Laboratories and Experi
ment Station of tho Association

under the able, management of
the Director, Dr. Maxwell; a con

is, however, to he regretted that

At tho Experiment Station some
very interesting oxparimonts are

Dr. Maxwell will fully re-
port to you; ' thoy consist of
raising cane with and without irri

ciontduriug the past year; whethor
this will continue, however, in
future is somewhat doubtful and
thiH matter will probably requiro
your special attention.
Mr. Koebole, who still receive
financial aid from this association,
has been absent, daring the year,
but is shortly expected to return
here; ho has contiuued to render
very valuable services for tho Isl
ands.
Tho Income Tax law, passed by
tho la&t legUlnturp, has been de
clared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court owing to curtain
discriminating features contained
therein; tho property tax law
has again caused a great deal
of friction in regard to tho "fair
and reasonable aggregato value"
of vaiious sugar estates, as
shown by the numerous appeals,
which have become nocesssry and
have thrown tho burden of decid
ing this very difficult question on
tho Judges of the Supreme Court.
1 hope that the noxt Logislatuto
will revise the present tax laws to
such an extent that th') constant
appeals on the tax returns may be
avoided in future.
Sevoral valuable reports will be
submitted to you; as a groat dent
of time will be lost by
them in full, I sujigost that only
tho important parts of same bo
read and taken up for discussion.
Before concluding, I beg leave
to express my bo-it wielres for
your future prosperity and
hope that at our noxt meoting the
sugar industry 01 tuese leianus
may be in as promibiug a condi
tion as it is today.
Secretary Bolto read tbo min
utes of the last annual session,
which wero approved.
Tho secretary's report being
called for, Mr. Bolto said that it
was in the printer's bauds. Some
data required to complete it had
been received only ten miuutes
before the meeting commenced,
hence it was impo-miblo to incor
porate it in time for tho meeting.
He would say, boweyer, tlrat the
total crop of sugar produced in

All of the old trustees wero re
elected to servo for another year.
Dr. Maxwell's report on tbe ox
Poriihnt station wnanext in order.
He suggested that the members
visit tho experiment station in a
body, see what waB being done
and judge for themselves. The
report could then bo read or
printed after tho vinit.
Mr. Baldwin moved that the as

Mr. Swanzy thought more time
should be taken to oxamine what

Editoh Evenino Bulletin:
I do not wish to enter inlo any
newspaper controversy regarding
the recent labor troublo utEwn
Plantation, but in tho spirit of
justice I beg to call attention to
soveral inaccuracies in Mr. Doyle's
statement as given by you iu your
issue of Nov. 19 which, tho' un
important in themselves, yet are
calculated to load tho public to
form an unjust opinion of Mr.
Ferguson's actions. "Why Mr.

Til"! men were not all ciowded in

Mr. Dpylo states that ho insist

fiually they were allowed to re

"Why Bhould theso men bo nrrest

making complaint of the tteat
mout ho had received at the hands
of tho luna and doruanding tho
discharge of tbo latter. Mr. Fer
guson refused this demand, point
ing out mat tuo occurrence was
purely accidental, but nt tho s imp
tituo gave full permi'Siou for tho
man and his witnesses to vit.it

it was their intoution to gj with

they would bo charged the costs

Mr. Doyle has plunly shown
that he was deeply annoyed that
the matter was not left entirely in
bis hands for settlement. "What-1
over were tho powers conferred
upon 11 tin ny tne. piaiunuou
him by the
authorities in Honolulu, ordhury

that at least consultation sboald

direct control of tho labor day by

SENATOR PETTICREW TALKS
Ho Defines His Position With Respect
to the Annexation Issue.
Two of His Three Reasons for Opposing
Treaty No Longer Apply Hay Not
Oppose the Policy.
Beforo leaving Honolulu on
Saturday, Senator Pottigrew gavo
out this stnlomcnt:
"Whon the annexation treaty
first camo tip in our Senate I op
posed the measure for three dis
tinct reasonB.
"First, I doubted the wis lorn of
further territorial expansion on
the part of the United Slates. It
has always occui red to tue that wo
were big enough already and ad
ditional territory would bo ex
pense and dang r rather a benefit.
"Second, I have felt that tho
annexation of Hawaii might in
volve us in international compli
cations whioh would be both un
desirable and uucalled for. The
prize waa not, in my mind, worth
the prico of it.
"Third, I have doubted if tho
people of the Islands were yet
compotent and nt tor tue mgu
nnviloiiu of American citizenship.
Your population is sadly mixed,
which has urnsoutcd a problem of
unusual importance to the public
men of tbo United States.
'Although I am not yet pto
pared to say positively what I
will do when thoquestion is again
brought to our attention iu tho
Senate, I may sttto that my views
Ion some of tho points mentioned
(irivo oeen huhjh i"u iu muuiucu-
UUIl.
"President McKinloy is vary
cnrnesl in his annexation policy
and his efforts in behalf of the
measure have cleared auy appre
hension 1 may havo felt as to
foreign complications Bribing out
of tho consummation of tho
fcheme. lu vother words, I now
feel that foreign powers Having
interests bore have practically
conceded tho superiority of Ame
rica's claim, and will not contest
our right to incorporate tho Isl
ands in our territory if wo so de
sire. "As for tho next point, that of
tho eligibility of the people of
Hawaii to American citizouship, 1
tuny s-iy that I can plainly see
that vat changes for tho better
have taken place iu the past four
years, which perhaps covers the
case.
"To Bummari.o, I will say that
if the treaty camo up under the
same conditions aud surrounded
by the same peculiar circutn
B'nuceB ns bef ire, I would unhesi
tangly oppjso it. But iu its
present nhipo aud under the
euunged conditions, I canuotyet
tut- positively ho.w I will treat it.
It docs Hcoin to 1110. however, that,
iu tli3.lic.ht of all I now know, if
I osnnot champion the caudo of
annexation I will hardly throw
stones iu its way."
