FAILEB TO INTEREST JAPAN Strike on Hawaiian Islands Work of Japanese Agitators. Toklo , June 17. The report that the Japanese of Hawaii had appealed to Toklo charging violation of treaty rights as an outcome of the strike agitation in the islands , is based upon the fact that one of the agitators ar riving at Honolulu , sent' a cablegram to n brother living In Japan request ing him to endeavor to gain the inter cession of the government in his be half. In spite of the fact that ho knew it was useless the brother'con veyed the appeal to the government. A dispatch received hero yesterday from the Japanese consul at Honolulu says the strike situation is improving and that all the men in two districts have returned to work. The strike , the consul says , is a rise of agitation on the part of Japanese anarchists , the worst element among the Japan ese , who have been trying to per suade all their countrymen to Join a union. They claim , the dispatch fur ther asserts , that they would be able to increase wages but in reality their purpose was to collect money. Continuing the Japanese consul speaks highly ot the attitude of the local planter. Prosperous Builder Shoots Wife. New York , June 17.

AGAINST DUTY ON WOOD PULP SENATOR DROWN OF NEBRASKA MAKES STRONG ARGUMENT. COMMITTEE'S POSITION WRONG Denounces Proposition to Increase the Rate Fixed by the House on Print Paper as Inexcusable and Indefens ible. Washington , Juno 17. After dlspds- Ing of a number of disputed para graphs In the tariff bill , the senate to day began the consideration of- the print paper and wood pulp provisions. The subject was introduced by Sen ator Aldrlch , who presented the fi nance committee amendment Increas ing the duty on print paper froth one- tenth to two-tenths of a cent per pound and which ho said equalled $4 a ton. Senator Brown of Nebraska spoke on the subject. Offering an amend ment to place print paper on the free list , Mr. Brown declared that the pa per Industry did not need the protec tion of a duty. "At the risk of creat ing a panic , " ho said , ho would read from President Roosevelt's message to congress in response to which the house had undertaken to investigate the wood pulp and paper business. He then proceeded to read from the mes sage receiving careful attention. Denouncing as indefensible any as Inexcusable and Indefensible any proposition of the finance committee to Increase the low rate fixed by the house bill for tie ) protection of the print * paper Industry , Senator Brown declared that that industry needs no protection. These paper mills , he in sisted , have an advantage over every foreign print mill whether they are in Scandinavia , Germany or Canada. "Canada is our only competitor in this market , " said Mr. Brown. "The seas and the Inferior product of other countries than Canada protect the mills of the United States against all competition worth mentioning. "This question depends on the cost of production at home and abroad. If foreigners can manufacture print paper for less than it costs Americans that amendment of the finance com mittee might find Justification. If the fact be , as I shall prove it is , that print paper can be made and Is being made at less cost hero than elsewhere , then any duty in any amount is wholly wrong in principle and utterly unen durable and extortionate in practice. "Canada had an investigation into the subject in 1901. The testimony In that Investigation showed that the American mills had an advantage of J5 per ton in the cost of production of print paper. "Following that report the manufac turers of Canada petitioned their gov ernment to continue the 25 per cent advalorem duty on paper Importations. "The statement of the Booth mills tn Canada snows the cost of produc tion to bo $34.11 per ton. The testi mony before the house committee shows the cost per- ton of the print paper made by the International Paper company , of the United States to be 527.74. Another significant fact shown in the hearings before the house com mittee is that western publishers testi fied that they bought paper from the Booth mills in Canada and paid the duty and then got it for less than they could have purchased it from the trust. "Our consul In the province of Quebec reported that the laborers In the Canadian mills received as' high If not higher wages than those in American mills. It is undisputed by the testimony taken by this commit tee that many of the workmen in the Canadian mills are American citizens and receive higher wages than when In the United'States. " In fifty-nine news print paper mills In this country he said there are 19- 449 employes , while the newspapers and periodicals using their output em ploy 145,638 persons. Every one of these newspaper employes ho said Is affected by the Increase in rate of paper which has taken place In the last few years. The print paper mills In 1908 had an annual pay roll of 110,330,632 , while the pay roll of the newspapers and periodicals in 1905 was $106,949,199. $ "Tho testimony before the house committee , " said Mr , Brown , "shows that the International Paper company Itself went Into Canada and purchased A large amount of print paper to keep the American publishers from buying It ana this they parceled out among their foreign customers. Because of this purchase of foreign paper the trust had too great a supply on hand and was compelled to shut down twenty-four paper machines , while the surplus was being consumed in Ameri can presses. And the protected labor ers on these twenty-four machines were compelled to find other Jobs. " Senator Brown entered into a discus sion of paper.making and the progress that has been made In the manufac ture since the discovery that it could bo made from wood. The Industry has grown and prospered , he said , until today American mills produce more than 1,200,000 tons of print paper an nually and are able to supply the American market. Ground wood pulp Is made very largely from the spruce tree with a limited amount from the hemlock tree , he said. The spruce is already Dearly exhausted In the United States. Science has not yet discovered any other tree which may bo entlsfactoi lly converted Into pulp by the grinding process. The domestic consumption oC print paper amounts to 1,200,000 tons annually. The total consumption of spruce wood for paper purposes In the United States amounts to 2,700- 000 cords per annum. Ono third of this amount comes from Canada , the remainder from American forests. The government forest service estimates that there are 15,000,000 of acres of spruce forests cast of the Rocky moun tains. The spruce on the Pacific coast Is more valuable for lumber and Is used only in limited quantities for paper making. Computing the exhaustIng - Ing of these spruce forests on the basis of present consumption for paper purposes , Forester Plnchot esti mates they will be exhausted as fol lows : Maine's In twenty-eight years ; Now Hampshire in twenty-five years ; Ver mont In eleven years , and Now York In eight years. He also estimates that Minnesota with her great forests of black spruce cannot continue to sup ply her present output and have any left nt the end of nine years. Mr. Plnchot also testifies that It will bo Impossible to avoid the exhaustion by reforestation for the reason that spruce trees require from seventy-five to 100 years to reach a diameter of ten Inches. Senator Brown drew the following conclusion at the end of his argu ment : "Our pulp wood supply Is nearly ex hausted. "Tho pulp wood supply of Canada Is apparently Inexhaustible. , "Free pulp would tend to conserve our pulp wood. "Tho production cost of print paper Is less In the United States than it is In Canada. "A ton of news print paper costs In Canada $24.54 to manufacture ; In the United States it costs $27.74 per tpn. "The print paper market is controll ed in the United States by combina tion and whatever duty the law may fix will assist the combination In that control In violation of the law In com petition to the Injury and outrage of the public. "By reason of such control , the cost of print paper to the consumer hai > been arbitrarily advanced to an un reasonable and uncjonservable profit to the manufacturer. "Print paper advanced from $38 In 1907 to $42 and $50 per ton in 1908. "Tho importation of print paper for all time has been negllble. "Tho proposed duty on pulp and print paper Is , therefore , not neces sary for protective purposes nor use ful for \revenue purposes. It is , there fore , an outlaw duty' ' apd should be stricken from this bill.1' RUSSIAN FIRES AT BRITISH ENGLISH STEAMER CAME TOO CLOSE TO MEETING PLACE.

SPECULATION IN SECURITIES Committee Appointed by Governor Hughes Makes Report. Now York , Juno 17. The report of : he committee appointed by Governor Hughes to investigate speculation in securities and commodities and the or ganizations used in dealings therein lias been made public. The New York stock , tie ? Consolidated stock , the Cot ton , the Produce , the Coffee , the Mer cantile and the Metal exchanges and : Jie Curb market were thoroughly In vestigated and recommendations look ing to Improvement of existing condi tions were made at length by the committee. The most drastic finding s that affecting the Mercantile and Metal exchanges , as follows : "Under present conditions , we are of the opln- .on that the Mercantile and Metal ex changes do actual harm to producers ind consumers , and that their char ters should , be repealed. " Concerning speculation in general , : he committee declares that it may be wholly legitimate , pure gambling , or something partaking of the qualities Df both , that in some form it Is a nec essary incident of productive opera- : Ions ; that It tends to steady prices md that for the merchant or manu facturer the speculator performs a service .which has the effect of insur- nice. "In law , " says the report , "spec- ilatlon becomes gambling when the .radlng which it involves does not cad , and is not Intended to lead , to he actual passing from hand to hand ) f the property that Is dealt In. "The rules of all the exchanges for- ) ld gambling as defined by this opln- on ; but they make so easy a technical lellvery of the property contracted 'or ' , that the practical effect of much [ peculation , in point of fqrm legltl- nate , Is not greatly different from that > f gambling. " The committee makes no present- nent against short selling , but do- slares the tendency of such selling is o steady prices. It is recommended hat the minimum margin should be 10 per cent and strong disapproval is ( xpressed of branch brokerage offices vhlch supply liquor'and resort to oth- sr improper means to Induce specula- ion. ion.The The committee closes with a review if the experience of Germany in .re- itrictlng exchanges and points out the mfavorable results of the German leg- station. There Is an addendum con cerning the complaint of the New fork Bank Note company that the Stock Exchange prevents any co'm- > any except the American Bank Note ompany from engraving any securl- ies dealt in on that exchange. After t discussion of this complaint , and the inswor of the Stock Exchange thereto he committee says "it would seem hat other considerations than the ; oodness of the work and carefulness n guarding the plates are here opera- ive , and that the Stock Exchange haslet lot rid Itself of the evils of monopoly.
