' LONDON, Dee. 26.-Chrlatmas of 190e will . be memorable for the ' heaviest snow storms the United Kingdom has experi enced In many years. In the northern counties of England and In Scotland the snow was accompanied by great gales. There was an average fall of from four to six inches, which under heavy gales drifted badly and worked serious hindrance to locomotion of all kinds and Inconvenience to holiday makers. It snowed again to night, but not so hard, excepting. In the Liverpool district, where a fierce bllxtard Is raging, and the indications are that the severe weather will continue. There were many small wrecks along the coast, but. no serious loss of life Is reported. The crews of nearly all the wrecked vessels Were rescued by life boats. Almost all the shipwrecked men hnd terri ble experiences and were completely ex hausted before being brought to land. The steamer Hazcldene struck a rock and sank off Cloughey. Life boat men succeeded In rescuing the crew after an exciting ex perience. Another life boat made a similar rescue of the crew of the schooner Ring lender, wrteked off Rungeness. The minor Inconveniences of the day In clude the abandoning of hundreds of box ing,' foot ball and golf matches. The dis comfort and the difficulty of getting about, however, did not greatly dampen the ardor Of London's pleasure seekers. The popularity of the pantomime seems to be on the Increase.

A report on Japanese condition in the Ha waiian Islands will be made to the president by Frank P. Sargent, commissioner of Im migration and naturalisation as a result of his recent Visit to the islands. Commissioner Sargent today expressed the opinion that there are fewer Japan ese in the Hawaiian islands now than there were two years ago, a greater number having come to America in that period than arrived In Hawaii. Mlkl Salto, the Japanese consul general at Honolulu, In timated to Mr. Sargent that the Japanese government discouraged its people from coming to the United States because of its knowledge of the conditions existing in this country, especially on the Pacific coast, and It was apprehended that tho coming here of great numbers of Japanese might induce a prejudice against them that would be embarrassing. The commissioner of Immigration found that the owners of sugar, pine apple and other plantations in the islands are In serious need of laber and many Japanese are coming to the Isl nds to work on them. He says that It Is the effort of the Hawaiian planters to diversify their labor, so far as possl ble, not confining It to any one race, but getting people ' from all quarters of the world. A second ship load of Portuguese will ar rive at Honolulu In a short time and it Is probable that these immigrants will make the island their permanent home. Many more plantations would be operated on the Islands if it were possible to obtain the necessary laborers, but up to the present time labor has been scarce. It Is expected that the arrival In the Islands of the Euro pean laborers will be a solution of the Hawaiian labor problem. Bids for Bl Pastor.
