a great multitude. i
Of paHslonato grief thcro wan llttlo be

firms and Industrial enterprises.
There docs not exist here, however, tho
general financial condition which leads to
panics, the busluesB being conducted al
most exclusively on cash basis, tbo credit
Bystem bolng nlmost unknown. The diffi
culty lies In the nbsoluto lack of capital
wherewith to carry on tho great schema
of industrial development Initiated after
tho Chlnn-Japancso war. It Is beginning
to be realized that Japan should havo used
In this direction tho Chlncso Indemnity
Instead of expending It for Increased arma
ment. A curious pnradox exists. Owing to Its
habits of economy, Japan 1b relatively one
of the richest nations, but now It Is In tho
depths of poverty with Its efforts at In
dustry brought to almost a complete stand
still. Tho remarkable steadiness of for
olgn stocks In the treaty ports In splto of
tho general, depression Is vory noticeable.
Dividends of from 8 to 12, per. .cent keep
steadily up to the mark, whllo Japanese
Investment enterprises dlvldo still larger
profits,
Tho Chinese situation Is nlwaya and vory
naturally tho themo of Interesting com

papers are thoroughly In accord with the
American policy. There Is hardly a point

WASHINGTON, March 17. Jarcd Smith,
who has bten In charge of tho offices ot
ceed und plant Introduction in tho Depart
ment of Agriculture, has been directed to
start In a few days for Honolulu to estab
lish an agricultural experiment station
there.
As director, bin first work will be to
teach the Hawaiian peoplo how to grow gat

consumed In tho Island nro Imported frcm
Snn Francisco. They will be taught also
Iho valuo of dairy cowb among poor fam
ilies, butter and cheese mnklng, tho forage
plants most economically produced for Ha
waiian consumption and tho value of poor
families raising chickens and pigs.
This agricultural tnleslouary work In the
Interest of tho common peoplo of tho Isl
ands wilt bo essayed before other agricul
tural problems will bo considered. There
aro 200 acres, running from tho coast to
tho top 'of a mountain, set apart by tho
Hawaiian legislature for this purpnst.
These matters vlll be given attention near
tho .coast, coffee rnlslug will bo studied on
tho higher elevations nnd forestry work will
bo done an tho mountain tops.
Regarding agricultural experiment work
in tho Philippines, Secretary Wilson salo
today:
"Congress will hot appropriate money
for experimenting in the Philippines until
the peoplo thero have quieted down. Then
the Department of Agriculture will he
rendy to conduct researches? In fact, the

REPUBLICS GLAD TO CONFER
Many of Noiilli nml Central America
Accept the Invi
tation. WASHINGTON, March 17. Responses
have now been received from practically
all of tho South nnd Central American re
publics accepting tho Invitation to partici
pate in tho confcrcnco of American repub
lics which Is to bo held In the City of Mex
ico next October.
Tho preliminary work of tho congress has
been directed from Washington, as tho
United States government has taken great
interest In tho meeting and has had the co
operation hero of tho representatives of the
South American countries. Several ot tho
republics already cither bavo chosen their
delegates or havo names under considera
tion. The Guatemalan minister in Waco
Ington, Mr. Lnzo.Arrlaga, haa been desig
nated by his government to represent It,
but ho has not yet determined whether he
will accept tho mission. It Is understo d
that the Brazilian delegates have been
chosen and that tho names of those who
will represent Chill nro selected, condi
tional upon tho extent of participation
which they will have In the congress.
Tho personnel of the delegation from the
United States Is beginning to nttrnct atten
tion and In South American circles thero Is
an earnest deslro that at least ono of the
delegates from this country shall sustain
some olTlclal relation to tho Stato depart
ment. In tho former congress held In Wash
ington Mr. Ulalno was a conspicuous figure,
and tho southern republics nro deslrlous
that thero bo llko promluenco at tho coming
congress.
Some SiiKKenteil .Vnnie,
Llttlo attention has yet been given to tho
consideration of particular names, yet
among thoso Informally meutloucd aro As
sistant Secretary of Stato Hill, Director
Rockhlll of tbo Bureau of American Repub
lics, nnd John Ilnssct Moore, who was as
sistant secretary of stato during Judgo
Day's administration ot tho Stato depart
ment. Mr. Monro's numo has como up In
connection with tho research ho has made
on tho subject of arbitration, which prom
ises to bo one of the most Interesting
themes beforo tho congress.
Tho South Araorlcnn republics have shown
a strong Inclination towards arbitration In
tho settlement of tholr frequent boundary
difficulties and there Is a tendency to adopt
this mothod quite generally nnd, If possible,
universally, to avoid border conflicts and
their mennce of war. Somo of thoso Inter
ested In tho congress havo hoped to see U
bring results similar to Tho Hague confer
ence; with a permanent court of arbitration
for tho western republics, like that at Tho
Haguo for International conflicts In which
tho countries In Europe and tho United
States might bo Involved. Nono of tho south
ern republics was represented ut Tho Hague
conference.
Kren for Arbitration.
Tho sentiment for arbitration was strong
In tho lost South American congress and in
tho recent congress at Mndrld It again took
form. At tho same tlmo it has been nn
derstood that Chill might not deslro to par
ticipate If tho subject was to be discussed
In such form as to Involve tho pending con
troversy between Chill, Peru nnd Ilollvla.
In signifying her purpose to nrcept, the
Chilian authorities said, In substance, that
It would bo conditional upon the discussion
of no topics which would Tnvolvo pending
questions in which that country wau con
cerned. From this It hns been Inferred
that tho particular question desired to ho
eliminated Is that now In sharp dispute be
tweon Chili nnd Peru. On the other hand,
Peru looks forward quite confidently to this
congress as a means of presenting her view
of this long.pendlng conflict. Hut In nny
event, It Is not expected that ft subject of
tho magnitude of arbitration can bo entirely
eliminated from n congress of this character.
Besides this topic, It Is expected that tho
congress will deal with commercial iTalis
of Interest to this country and tho n'lier
republics, developing means for thorough
co-operation and mutual expansion of trsdo.
To somo extent also the gathering vlll havo
a broad political aspect, Indicating tho fra
ternity which oxlsts among tho republics
of tho western hemisphere.

tho Importation of American corned beef,

to a report received at tho Stato department
from United States Consul Dlederlch at

It defeats Its avowed purposo ot promoting

whllo the health of tho German nation de

Inspection law has put the prices up Is
a well established fact, according to Consul
