The feu t tint two large yiaatatkM owner of Hawaii are now on their way to this city to secure negroes to work the Hawaiian sugar plantation will create no little fotarest inronglKHit the State of Loalslau. especially In the black par- Tke dispatch from Honotabl. under date of July 10. reads as follows: "It Is to tfef colored people of the Southern Stale that the plantation owners of tike H.u alien Islands will turn for relief in tle matter of the vexed labor question. John Hind and J. B. Collin-of Kofaala plantation leave to-day for the Southern States in quest of negro laborers. They hare assurance that thre or four hundred can be recruited at New Orleans. The plantations will pa their tdtpeases to this outantry and gie thorn fZi) a month. If enough next o labor can be procured the services of th.e Japanese will be dispensed with altogether." Mr, Frank Davie, a guest nt the Hotel, returned from Honolulu und the Islunds only a few wpoks ago. Ho read the above tele gram with perhaps more Intelligence on the subject thnu most anyone In the city. His connection wiin the Soutnein dvjiMrtmoiit of the Illinois steel Compaq took htm to the Sandwich Islands, and he had ample opiortunIty for studying the labor troubles there. "What do you think of it?" asked a reporter, finding Mr. Davios perusing the Honolulu advices. "I consider this dtspatch very significant," he replied leisurely. "The labor problem in Hawaii is no small mutter.

Tho labor cpjostion Is one of great Jmporiance to the Hawaiian planters nt tho present time. Mr. John Hind, rofsrrod to in the dispatch, is of the Havi mill and plantation JHt TCohnla, on the Island of Hawaii. "Hafursnco to the Hawaiian Annual Shows tho Haw I mill to haw handled not ouly the cane of the Hawl plantation, Uilt also thu Deecroft plantation adjoining, producing jointly during tho Season of some 153i tons of sugar. "That the labor question is quite an Important Item, It might be remarked that the plantation laborers at the of tho 1SSD campaign numbered (j,D0O. some or tho larger plantations Having as many as 2000 laborers thoroon." Mr. Davies brought ftom Hawaii oonsldornblo data on the labor situation, that now becomes very interesting and decidedly apropos, since Hind and Collins are on route to this city. The sugar plantations are the chief aotuVO Of labor hire, and with the ol the industry in those tho demands have increased very .groutlv. A few years ago the native Huwnilnns did the work almost exclusively, but us the requirements coupled with the objection of many natives to hire out, tho leaders or the sugar industry were obliged to look elsewhere, and this led to tho introduction of .Asiatic labor tho Chinese and Japanese. -In view of the prospect that Louisiana negroes are to be taken there, tho follbwlng table, showing the relative .number of each nationality engaged tn ' plantation labor, has a striking local ,JtoJe.rst; Population.

They do not like subjection or the spirit lead-In? to IL One-third of tho Chinese and of the Japanese population of .the Islands ore now engaged In plantation -work. According to tho dispatch from Honolulu, the scheme and It Is a one is to import sugar hands and get rid pf the Asiatics. The matter of wages Is what the American laborer will Jtke to have a lull understanding or before he leaves fhe valley of the Teche or crosses the Lafourche. On this subject tae Hawaiian Annual says the expense to the laborer of providing himself with fuel, toothing and food is less wpoa Utese Islands than in Louisiana or any other section of the Ualte States. Oa tfce other hand, the value of lateor to the employer, when the labor Is psW at .0 much per man per iy, depeads. pon the laborer and his power to work.

Some Delay in ithe Sign ngof Their Certificates. Depositors in the Postal Savings Bank are encountering difficulty in getting their certificates of deposits. These certificates must be obtained before the banks will pay depositors. One Postal Savings Bank deposltrtr called at The Republican office yesterday and complained Unit he had been at tho post-office three times on Friday, three times Saturday and twicj yesterday. On each occasion he was told Jthat Governor Dole hadn't signed his certificate, and he was advised to call a again. Ho said he was-get Jng tired ot calling. Governor Dole's attentlba. was called to the fact that complaint had reached The Republican office about.delays In signing the certificates for postal deposits. The Governor salt that all the certificates thus far presented by the postal authorities had "be n signed as rapidly as received, and that, If any delay had been caused, it had doubtless been through tho tic e consumed in the postoffice in makln , out the interest drafts. The Goverxor said that last Saturday he was unavoidably absent from Hie office, rhlcl might have caused a slight delay, hut he was doing his utmost to expedite the work of signlug the certificates, d voting considerable Um5 to the wor c every day, to the neglect of other btslness.

After the lunch a literary program was rendered, in which Miss Alice Petrle and Mrs. Fred Smith recited, Mrs. Nicholson gave a piano solo, Miss McGInnls gave a vocal solo, and the Quintet Club rendered several selections. Then came dancing, which continued until a late hour. In the lodgeroom when the ladies called were about thirty members of Harmony Lodge and some forty visiting members of ether lodges.

The chairmen and officers of the Republican precinct clubs met at the Chamber of Commerce last night with the general committee of arrangements to make final arrangements for the grand Republican ratification to be held on Saturday evening. The Republican clubs and precinct clubs will gather at the drill shed at 6:30 Saturday evening. In the meantime, each precinct chairman will arrange for floats and banners to gU'e eclat to the parade. It is expected that 450 torches will be in line. The expenses for floats and transparencies will be borne by the precinct clubs. What promises to be one of the pleasing features of the parade will be the bicycle corps. Every Republican in town who can't ride a bicycle, that is well, is daily practicing to master the two-wheel steed. There are few Republicans in town who do not own bicycles. During tho four years administration of President McKlnley such a wave of prosperity has struck the land that it has extended to far-off Hawaii. And even Democrats hero, oppressed by stagnation prior to Mc-Kinley's inauguration, own bicycles, too. The Republicans are making strenuous efforts to have the Democratic bicyclists turn out Saturday night The bicyclists promise to make an imposing feature of the paratle. Some of the wheels; in fact, many, will be adorned with Chinese lanterns. There promises to be' music galore. The Government band will turn out and Will C. King will have his drum corps in line. W. J. Coelho will organize an independent and impromptu band for the occasion. Briefly summed up, there will be a ratification Saturday night with lots of red fire, ordinary fire and fiery eloquence. 4 PROFESSOR KOEBELE'S VTEW.

Injunction VTas Xot Aslced in Interest of the Honolulu Ttaptd Transit Company, Is Contention. Unlike Lazarus, of whom St. Luke tells us. was Joseph Lararus ot Honolulu. Joseph was thrifty; he asked no man favors. On June 26, 1SS7, Joseph Lazanw died, leaving an estate valued at ?IS.-600. John S. Walker, on June 50. filed in the Circuit Court a petition for the probate of a document purporting to fee the last will and testament of Lazarus left a numerous following. There were sons and daughters, grandchildren and great - grandchildren, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. The will was contested In the courts by some of the members ot the numerous Lazararus family, but Walker was appointed executor. And there has been trouble evar since. In May of the present year John S. Walker, executor, filed his final accounts, together with a petition for Allowance of the same and for an order for his discharge as executor. The matter was regularly called on Monday, June IS. The heirs who wore present offered objections to certain Items in the accounts ot the executor. whereupon the court referred the accounts to a master for examination. Tho report of the master, J. A. Thompson, was filed yesterday. It Is interesting reading. In the most elegant legal phraseology Thompson tells what he found. Among the receipts enumerated under "principal" is cash in bank, $4,550. Or this the master says: "A few words about the $4,550 which appears In the inventory as having been deposited In the bank of Bishop, & Co. Upon inquiring at the banking homre of Bishop & Co., I was informed that on October 23, IS37, tho executor drew a check ror $S50, and on October SS of the same year he drew another check for J 1.000. I was also Informed that this deposit was nude as an open, and that since the last check was drawn there has not been another deposit made on account of the estate of Joseph Lazarus. I will also remark that upon the face of the accounts it appears that the executor made no Investment of this 4.550 or any portion thereof. "In all the evidence beforo me nothing was adduced as to any demands having been made by,any of tho devisees for the immediate payment of the several legacies as by will pro-vided.'- Aftermrn tioning legacies paid, the report conceded: 'To conclude. I would state that before making this report and before making the Inquiries. I had on many occasions requested the executor to exhibit for my examination his original books of accounts, but he has failed to do so." In the inventory scheduled, filed M.ny 11. Execufor Walker accounts for the $4,350. In as the master's report would indicate; In an unusual way. The case will bo heard to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. J. A. McCandiess. as Superintendent of Public Works, vs. Tho Hawaiian Tramways Company. Limited, has filed an affidavit In reply to defendant's answer. Affidavit declares that defendant never asked for or received any permission from the .Minister of tho Interior or Executive Council to move Its track on King street to a location on the mountain side of the enter of the street, nor was such removal necessary to be made In order that the defendants might comply with the law, nor did the Minister of the Interior approve of Or direct such location of defendant's tracks, and the defendant bad. and has. no right or authority to so locate Its tracks. That In the month of January of the present year, the defendant, for a second "time, proceeded to excavate on King street and to lay a track thereon, which it now claims a and for a switch, but which it then claimed as and for a double track, proceeding in the work with great rapidity, with a force of men, and thereby succeeding in laying said track for a distance of some SCO feet before the Minister ot the Interior could Interfere to prevent the work. Affiant further says that bis bill of complaint was not filed, uor has the cause been brought In the Interests of. or to promote the purposes of a rival street railway corporation, whether the same is the Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land Company.
