A delegation of 300 deluded Si berians went to the islands last Oc tober and the total number that yielded to the lure of the sugar planters is over 1000. Their expe rience is thus set forth by Gompers : "Instead of all the comforts above described, tne people found wooden shanties, without roofs, the floors mnde of rough boards, set apart with wide crevices. The furniture con sisted of a few benches, n table nnd n few beds; instead of the promised electric licht, kerosene lamps were to be used, the oil to be supplied by the men themselves; the fuel consists of the roots of sugar cane, which the men were to carry from three to seven miles. Conl is a great luxury, which is but seldom obtainable. "Instead of the free transportation to nnd from work, the men had to walk to the place of work at a dis tance of five miles, and tho time consumed was not included in the working day; lateness bj' five to ten minutes was punished by a deduc tion of a quarter of a day's pay; the wages are $22 a month for men and ?13 for women. "The men .are compelled to buy nil their provisions in the plantation store at such exorbitant prices that they exceed tho earnings due and they become the debtors of the planters. Conditions of Peonage. "In short, the conditions are such as would establish a condition" of peonage. "After three months of suffering and quiet submission, having spent not only their scant earnings, but tho money they brought with them, realized from the sale of their real property and other belongings at home, the men revolted; they left the plantations and went to Hono lulu with n view of informing the American government, through its regularly constituted authorities. "The peoplo looked for work else where, but could find none. "The governor of the territory was informed by a delegation sent by the men of tho unbearable conditions, but tho only answer that they re-1 ceived from the governor was that they were to return to the plnnta-J tions and a promise to improve the conditions of their lifo wns made. "Tho people returned to work, but found no fulfillment of any promise. iinn nmi no no mini noonlo wero deciding up tho winners of tho prliesked ,nto ft town ot loaa Umn n offered for tho best decoration. ., , .,. . vn.. mMo ,,,. school , Frank Hawk of Central Point took tho first premium.
