When there wore no railroads west of
Missouri or cast of California they used to
tarry mall and light freight on horscbark
between St. Joe and Sacramento. Tills serv
ice was known as the I'ony express. ' Morses
swift and strong and riders liravc and enduring -
during were employed , and relay stations
.were set , fifty miles npart , across the great
'American disert ,
Of course the nest was wild at that time ,
many riders were murdered and the letters
and other valuables taken ami destrojcd.
Indians would steal upon these little sta
tions , kill the keeper and carry tha homes
away with them , so that when the wrary
rider arrived there was no ono to taku his
place , and , after gazing on thu black ruins
for a moment , he would push his tired horse
en toward the next station.
*
At flr ( U was hard to find men who were
years later Whlpsaw went to keep tho1
Elation called White Hess for the pony cx-
Iiress , taking the Pawnee with him The lit
tle fellow prow to love n't ' white father ,
and seemed to conceive a bitter hatred for
< ill Indians. One day some friendly hunters
called at the station , the little redskin slipped
out quietly , cut the ropes and let their
horses go At another time ho attempted
to shoot an Indian who had stopped at thai
iloor , but ( XJiilrt not raise the rifle. Lll.e ullt
Indians , he was ever alert. The scratch of
Vi prowling bear on the cabin door or the
cry of a. lone wolf on a far-off hill -would
bring him from a Bound Elcep. Ha would
hear the hoofs of the Incoming horccs beatIng -
Ing the plains a mile away and long before
his white master could hear the faintest
Bound.
OMINOUS SIGNALS.
"Kyusc. Kyuse. " he would whisper. In the
dead of night He was an alarm clock for
the station , and at his warning the rider
who was icstlng there would get up , throw
a saddle acioss the back of his broncho and
be icady to snatch the pouch from the man
t\ho wa ( lien galloping down the trail.
The little Pawnee was never too cold or
too sleepy to go out and welcome the weary
rider an.I pat the ncse of the spent steed ,
Baying so.'tly the while , "Kjuse , Kyuse. "
In fact. It was the boy's grtat fondness for
horses that caused Wh psaw to call him
"Little KMISC. "
When they had kept the station a > car
Little Kjusc was known , by reputation , at
least , to evo'y rldfr on the entire route
from St Joseph to Sacramento. Once ho had
warned the men who wore sleeping In the
cabin , and they had gone out Just In time
to save the horses that wore about to be
utolcn by Indians The stcry of the boy's
doings reached headquarters , and the pte l-
dcnt of the Pony Exipiess company sent a
short' light rlllc to the young watchman , and
before he was G years old he had killed a
wolC that came to the station while ho was
there alone.
Ono night Whlpsaw awoke and found the
boy sitting up In his blankets listening.
"Kyuso ? " asked Whlpeaw.
"No. Kyuso , " said the boy , shaking his
Lead and looking serious.
"Sleep , " said the man , but the Indian
shook his head.
"Wake up hero , Bob , " said Whlpsaw ,
" ' ' "
"anthill's coin' wrong.
"What Is It ? " asked the rider , rubbing his
"I can't make out clear , " eald Whlpsaw ,
"but suthln's wrong. This kid's cockln' hla
car an' when I tell him to lay down he
shakes his head. "
Whlpsaw lit a match and looked at his
watch.
"Long time , " said the boy , shaking his
load. | "Long time no Kyuse. "
Then they know what the child meant.
It was 11 o'clock ; the pony express was an
liour late and tlio boy knew , Instinctively ,
that It was BO.
For another hour the two men eat and
waited for a sign front the boy who- listened
, tor the sound of the horse's foot. Presently
the Pawnee crawled out. put his care tlio
ground , came back and shook hlb master.
"Kyusu ? " asked Whlpsaw.
* "Heap Kytiso. " was the boy's reply and
they understood It was not the lone rider ,
but a band of Sioux bent upon mischief.
SIGHTING THIS nOIUJKHS.
Ltttlo Kyuco febed his rifle slipped out
And the two men followed him To guard
against surprises of this sort , Whlpsaw had
dug short trenches , deep enough to hide a
man , all nbout the cabin , and now , to Ills sur
prise , Little Kjnso planted hlmxelf In one
of these holes. Without a word the two men
took places , ono to the right , the other to the
left of thu boy , nd waited. When the rob
bers bad reached a little sag In thu desert

mounted , and now came creeping upon the
lonely cabin , Ono came crouching no close

that Whlpsaw was abaut to open tire In-

Little Kyuse kept pumping smalt shot Into

HONOLULU , Aug. 25. ( Correspondence of
The lice. ) On a recent trip to one of the
outside Islands and In conversation with ono
of the representative planters the question
came up of the precarious condition of sugar
stocks and the value of plantations ns a
permanent Investment. The Idea was ex
pressed thai adverse legislation was likely
at any time to ruin the Industry , or as It
might almost bo called monopoly , unless an
nexation was assured. Many plantations
were almost valueless under the McKlnlcy
bill to such an extent that they ucro on the
verge of bankruptcy. It Is felt that the
chances of changes In the political system
of the United States might at any time ,
through a change of partisan power again ,
precipitate a similar condition. Hut as a
whole they \\ould rather sec annexation and
an assured legislative protection with
smaller profits than uncertainty and possibly
big ptoflts.
This he ga\e me ns the basis of the sup
port which three of the largest owners give
to annexation. Without annexation , with
a changed policy towards the sugar Interests
here and with a possible withdrawal of the
reciprocity treaty , plantation stocks would
go tumbling. A stock that docs not now
pay 20 per cent of dividends on Its capital
ization Is not considered good for much and
the men w ho are magnates today may thank
the legislation of our own land for their
dollars In a largo degree.
The other Urge owners , or , more properly ,
the agents of the owners , arc supposedly In
Its'favor , but In reality are adverse to It , and
because they feel that the foregoing reason
Is about offset by the problems of future
labor. The labor governs the whole working
of the plantation and the profits ehown en
its books , and 'la therefore the main question
to be considered. They may possibly be able
to affert legislation from adverse to favor
able , but \\agcs Is a problem that cannot bo
altered by Influencing the powers that sit In
law-making assemblies ; ergo , those who arc
ostcns.bly In favor of , but really ate ugalnst
annexation , are so for purely pochetbook rea
sons. The God , or perhaps I should say god
dess , they bow down to Is Impressed on the
metal that comes fiom the United States
mint. They know that under annexation
they cannot have Asiatics , and more than
thit they cannot have the penal clause of
the present "master and servant" law , and
without It they know that a coitract for
labor Is of practically no value to them.
PRACTICAL SLAVERY.
By the working of this clause a man who
Is Judged by the plantation doctor to bo fit
for work Is sent into the Mold whether he
Is 111 or not. If for any other reason than
inabllltj a man refuses to work , he may bo
arrested upon a warrant under that clause.
Ills case comes before the Judge summoned
pcrl-aps to the plantation , many of the latter
being remote from the regular court. His
punishment Is graded by the number ( of of-
tcnsi's For the flist ho Is merely fined , say
55 , and after that the penalties increase un
til ho may bo sent to "the reef. " which term
Is synonomous with "the pen" In America ,
and gets Its origin from the fact that the
pententlary Is located clcso to the ocean in
Honolulu. Or , rather than proceed to court
with the man , the manager may see fit to
simply dock him. Discrimination Is not al-
wajs used , and many claims are made that
ono man being from his Ue and strength
physically able to do much more than an
other , the two arc oftenJudged _ by results
u iliu uml ofthiraay's w'ork , and the smaller
unfortunate of the two is , of course , con
demned.
These statements led to the question of
Introducing white labor In the place of Asi
atics , and that was vetoed for several rea
sons.
sons.THE
THE QUESTION OP WHITE LABOR.
I have already cited the fact that white
labor cannot work In the cane Melds. My
statement was contradicted editorially , one
especial point quoted against me being the
lecorcio of the thermometers as proving that
the work could be done by the whites be
cause of the even temperature and the not
enervating atmosphere. In Hawaii I found
the sugar plantations stretched all along thu
coast and there the temperature Is about
the same ns here. The humidity Is greater ,
necessarily so where the rainfall , as on the
windward coast , amounts to 150 or 200 Inches
annually. In the grinding mills I found
Japs working clad simply in overalls and ,
though the temperature does not register
high figures , It Is nevertheless oppressively
hot and there seems to be no tone or vigor
In the air. On the higher ground where
the coffee plantations are at an elevation
of from 1,000 to 2,200 feet it Is better and still
higher nt the Volcano House , at an elevation
of 4,0-10 feet , the temperature was down to
00 degrees twice during a stay of ten dojs ,
but they do not grow cano on the rr.ountalus ,
thnugh Pahala plantation , on the lee side , is
cultivated up to nn elevation of about 2,000
feet , as I was told by Its manager. I have
made an especial point of ascertaining
wbother I was wrong on this , and the same
gentleman , who wanted It understood that
he considered a change of seme kind neces
sary , said that white labor had been tried
and found wanting. "This does not apply to
teamsters nor mill hands , but to the bulk
of laborers in the Holds ; in the high cane
the sweat continually thrown out on the air
by the cane and the tropic sun shining down
on It makes a condition quite different from
tbo reading of thermometers and a condl
tlon that Caucasians cannot continue to vvoik
under. They can and do woik In the fields ,
but not for any great length of time , and
at an early opportunity seek moro congenial
work In Honolulu. " Tliero Is no contention
but that tbo whites can do the work of tbo
trades.
trades.LACK
LACK OF LADOR TOR WHITES.
On quite other grounds the whites find the
lack of labor In Honolulu as it has filled up
nlth Asiatic mechanics. These men perhaps
learned their trades on a plantation , where
formerly there was a white boss carpenter
or blacksmith. Ho was given an awlstant
who finally replaced him because of the
\vago reduction made possible thereby , and
these plantation-taught mechanics have

or send It abroad through one of the two
banks that flo a rushing business In Chinese
and Japanese exchange
I asked If thorn were other reasons whj
Poles or Huns might not be used , and he
said that most decidedly there were That
there was already a tendency among the
\statlcs to combine against what they con

peans were brought hero It would Increasa

PLANTATION AIJUSKS.
Ono hotltatCB to speak of abuses prac
ticed on some of the plantations here , for
In doing so you attack a sjstcm supported ,
or , perhaps , I should say condoned , by man
agers and owners who personally are the
kindest and most considerate companions
And I can freely say that the same condi
tions do not exist on all plantations. I went
all over ono plantation known to bo distinctly
"American , " where the manager , a Massa
chusetts man , had not found It necessary
to take a case of Insubordination into court

who had originally been contract , or , as
they are hero termed , "shipped men , " who ,
having served their contract term , wcro suf-
flclently satisfied with their treatment to
continue work under him at their own option
and as day laborers. The expression
" 'shipped" is probably a relic of the days of
the whaling supremacy here ; da > s when the
man who shipped might expect about the
same treatment In the forecastle that the
contract men get now.
I say his was a distinctly American plan

Cleveland oil was on the bearings , Cincinnati
supplied the bolts , the wagons In the fields
were from Indiana and a Ledgervvood cable
carried the raw sugar In bags from the milt
to the steamer lying beyond the surf. When
I spoke to this gentleman of the future of
labor under annexation bo said that It was a
grave question , as annexation would cut oft
the supply of Asiatic labor and might com
pel a different scale of wages. I asked his
opinion on the question of negro labor which
has recently been prominently brought for
ward here and -which seems to be assuming
the importance of an Issue. Ho said that ho
would gladly try them and use them ; that
patriotism alone ought to dictate such a
course and that If It would help the cause of
annexation ho would be- still more In favor
of It. Knowing that he had Influential polit
ical friends in America , I asked his opinion
of the effect politically of the effort to col
onize the negroes here. His opinion was tbat
It would have no appreciable effect , as the
negro would probably remain loyal to the
republican party which Is also the party for
annexation , but even then If these Islands
were under a territorial form of government
he would have no presidential vote.
SENTIMENT OP THE GOVERNMENT.
Returning to the situation here in Honolulu
lulu , Minister Sewall is probably a warm a
friend of annexation as can TJO found on the
Islands and tells mo that In all Instances ,
with no exceptions , It has been the carn ° st
endeavor ot the Hawaiian government to for
ward the cause It has at heart by conforming
to the lines and policy of the government at
Washington , as In the matter of tlio exclusion
of the Chinese , which act met the opposition
of a number of the planters , more espsclally
these whoso Interests are non-American , "I
realize. " ho said , "that strong arguments have
been built up against annexation by these
who fall to see the great benefits that would
remit directly to the United States as a
whole , The American pctplo In view of the
great benefits that have been extended to the
Islands by the reciprocity treaty now expect
everything In return , not a part but the
uholo , and I believe that thb rich product of
these Islands , tholr value from a naval point
of view , and other considerations which have
been rcrltrd before , will compensate us The
subject has been viewed by our people from
too great a distance and I could wish that
Senator Morgan might bo accompanied by
another who was not. so pronounced n friend
of annexation. The senator can only return
with hta ftvorilile views , which are well
known and oftlong standing , even moro
firmly fixed , and this may not carry so much
weight as If one now in opposition to the
movement should come and find sulllclent
hero to change his views.
