BRIEF SKETCH OF
WAN
ISLANDS
The Hawaiian group, 200 miles
southwest of San Francisco and 3400
miles southeast of Yokohoma, consists
of 20 Islands, Including the coral Islets,
all of the main group being of vol
canic origin. Honolulu Is the port of
Oahu; Hilo of Hawaii and Kahulul,
of the island of Maul. The entire
group, In all probability, constitutes
the remains of a great area of volcan
ic action, which includes Japan, the
Philippines, Polynesia and the north
ern extremity of the Pacific slope.
The climate of Hawaii Is subtropi
cal, but salubrious to a high degree.
Swept by trade winds and washed .by
cool oceanic current flowing south
ward, we have a remarkable uni
formity of temperature which aver
ages 76 degrees, the difference be
tween winter and summer being only
10 degrees. The Hawaiian language
has no word for "weather" or "Indi
gestion." The food supply Is rather meager as
1o variety, neither corn nor the cere
als being Indigenous to the soil. The
sweet potato flourishes with 60 va
rieties, and the banana Is abundant,
Including some 20 varieties. In addi
tion to this we find the breadfruit,
the cocoanut, the yam and the taro.
Both sugar cane and arrow root
are Indigenous, but singularly enough
the natives are Ignorant of their use
and value. The richness of the sol)
and the kindliness of the climate off
set any lack of variety In foodstuffs.
It is said that 27 breadfruit trees,
which would nearly cover an English
acre with their shade, are sufficient
to support 10 or It people during
eight months of the year.
The taro Is the staff of life for the
Hawaiian Islanders. Its tuberous root
Is baled, pulverized under a stone pes
tle, made Into a thick paste and fer
mented, when It is called "pol."
This pol Is universally eaten and in
large quantities. Its economic Im
portance may be realised from the
fact that a strip of land four feet wide
and It feet long, which la scarcely
larger than a good sized dining room
table, can afford sustenance, when
property cultivated, to a tingle per
son for a year, at "which rate a
square mile would sustain over 15,000
people for the same period.
This dish, which Is so much relish
ed by the Hawallans, tastes like sour
paste made of flour. It Is exceed
ingly digestible, however, and has fat
tening qualities beyond most any
other diet.
Captain Cook, upon his voyage of,
discovery, found no larger domestic
animals than pigs and dogs. The dog
was considered a great delicacy and
not to be wasted on common people.
Mr. Kills, one of the early mission
aries, records the fact that the natives
In his day, 1825, regarded the flesh of
the dog as sweeter than that of the
pig. He saw nearly 200 dogs cooked
at one time, and reported a certain
royal feast where twice that number
were baked and devoured.
There are no snakes on the Inlands
or noxious Insects. The flea and mos
quito have been Imported. For the
latter there is no name In the native
language. It will readily be seen that
there must be few fish In the waters
of volcanic Islands, but those found
In the sea are beautifully colored and
of great variety. Che shark abounds
and in earlier years was considered
sacred, sacrifices being offered to him,
and lnclosures were made along the
sea shore In which the shark was
maintained, fed and worshipped.
The Islands were discovered by Cap
tain Cook In 1778. He was murdered
the following year upon his return
because of Indignities visited upon
the people by himself and his men.
He and other explorers, among
whom were Vancouver and Brough
ton, whoBe names are familiar In con
nection with British Columbia and
the magnificent harbor on the east
coast of Corea, found the natives ro
bust, tall, many of them measuring
five feet nine Inches, with regular
features, expansive forehead, teeth
that were large and white, and coun
tenances that were mild and friendly,
with kindly eyes.
The women were Inclined to be
stout, more than one queen weighing
over 200 pounds. The power to re
sist disease among them was small.
Diseases, conveyed r.y sailors, swept
through the Islands and more than
once threatened to exterminate the
Islander.

London, June 21. The tar and

to be sold at public auction early in
August. The hostelry, which crowns
the summit of Richmond Hill, and
commands a world-famous view, has
been the scene of many notable gath

on the site in 1738. A fire destroyed
the older portions of the hotel some
35 or 40 years ago. The banqueting
houc of the existing building was
erertcd In 1864.
The old Star and Garter was fa

theatrical associations. . Garrlck made
the Inn a rendezvous for his company
and many noted stars, among them
Edmund Kenn, Mrs. Jordan and Mrs.
Slddons, made It the regular place
to spend their summer holidays. They

tJEKMANY IS HACKING
AN OCEANIC MONOPOLY.
Interstate ConinilsHton Confronted by
nil Altogether Novel Proposition
ltullroniU of America, and the
Hamburg-American Puokct Compa
ny Snhl to Ho In League WlJili Die
tales Hates and ninekiiiitll by a
Clow Combine.
A Washington dispatch says the
Interstate commerce commission de
cided to Institute a proceeding of in
quiry and investigation into the affairs
of the Hamburg-American Packet
company, which Is charged by Peter
Wright & Sons, general agents at
Philadelphia of the Cosmopolitan
lines, with pooling and maintaining
monopolies in restrain of trade. The
inquiry Is expected to be one of the
most stupendous ever undertaken and
of a character different from any that
ever before has engaged the attention
of the commission.
The Inquiry will have to deal with
an alleged combination between rail
roads in the United States and the
German shipping concerns, and there
fore Interests every American pro
ducer, manufacturer or shipper aspir
ing to Introduce hlB goods to foreign
consumers.
Monopoly of Enstbonnd Traffic.
According to the complaint on which
action was taken by the commission
the Hamburg-American Packet com
pany has built up a complete monop
oly of the eastbound traffic originating
In Chicago, St. Louis. Kansas City,
Omah, Minneapolis, Duluth, Cleveland
and other manufacturing centers of
the United States, Intended for the In
terior ports or places on the continent
of Europe. The complaint reviews
what It claims to be unfair methods
In stifling competition.
The Cosmopolitan Shipping compa
ny of Philadelphia, which figures as
the complainant, operates lines to
Rotterdam. Leith and Copenhagen.
The charges allege that an Ironclad
trust In transatlantic freight carrying
exists between the Hamburg-American
Packet company, the North German
Lloyd.- Scandinavian-American line
and the Wilson (Hull) line and that
this pool apportions the volume of
traffic each of its members shall carry
and from what port or ports each line
shall make Its sailings, thus Involving
the apportionment of trafflo originat
ing In western cities both as to char
acter and amount, between the cities
of the north Atlantic seaboard.
The charges are summed up as fol
lows; 1. That the Hamburg-American
Packet company Is a monopoly In re
straint of trade, exercising through Its
contracts the power to control traffic,
both east and westbound, between
Hamburg and interior cities In the
United States, and to determine rates
and routes of such traffic.
2. That the Raltlc pool, of which
the Hamburg-American Packet com
pany Is the controlling factor, Is a
combine In restraint of trade, dictat
ing the percentages of traffic, dlctat
Interlor cities of the United States to
Baltic ports, which shall flow through
each of the north Atlantic ports men
tioned, to the end that each of the
lines composing the pool may receive
Its allotted proportion of the business
and no more.
Four other charges are made as fol
lows: Effect of Differentials! Nullified.
That the effect of differentials
which place American ports on , an
equality Is nullified by the pool's ar
bitrary division of traffic; that the
acts complained of are' In violation of
the'lawn 'of the United States; that
efforts td ''rehabilitate the American
merchant' marine are hampered and
rendered abortive by this monopoly,
and, finally, that there Is little use In
efforts for the benefit of American
shipping If at the same. time we allow
our present lnws to be violated by an
unscrupulous foreign corporation In
Its efforts to suppress American com
petition on land and sea.
