TEN -PAGE EDITION. TUESDAY, JUNE 10. 1S90. A full text of the report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs on treaty matters, presented to the Legislative Assembly Thursday morning, is given in this issue in the Legislative proceedings, revised by a member of the committee. A leasee of the National Reform Party was beard to say after the Minister of the Interior bad closed his able speech, that the rumors of an outbreak were merely got up for political effect.

If so, how about the rumors concerning the treaty circulated before the election by the National Reformers? Were they got up for wffect, too? The reply of Minister Thurston, delivered in the Legislative Hall on Friday last was one of the most masterly forensic efforts ever made here. At the outset, he said he did not propose to ubo adjectives, but the nouns which he did use fell like blows from a trip hammer. There has been but one expression of opinion by fair-minded readers, that the conduct of the Ministry in the matter under discussion was above reproach or censure. If the facts are as stated, and if they stand by evidence as strong as has been produced, then the Ministry should be sustained by every honorable and law-abiding citizen. What has become of the Anglo-Saxon love of fair play in theHonse? Thursday morning twenty-two members of the House voted not to let the minority of the Foreign Affairs committee have an opportunity to report.

A few days ago twenty-three members of the House voted not to let the Minister of the Interior reply to the charges brought by the Attorney-General against the Cabinet and the Marshal. On that occasion we noticed with satisfaction that Noble McCarthy voted to give the Ministry a chance, and we thought it was his love of fair play that made him do it. But Friday he voted against giving the minority of the committee a chance, and it looks as though his first vote had been a mistake. Fair play and square dealing ought to be above party. Why is the National Reform Party in theHouBe so anxious to cut off debate on the most important questions? Twice they have made an onslaught on the Cabinet and have tried to cut the Cabinet off from a reply.

This is like the Irish judge who wanted to decide the case without hearing the defendant because it was all clear from the plaintiff's story, and he knew it would not be so clear after the defendant's. Have the Opposition members an interest in suppressing the facts? It certainly looks like it. This conduct is in very broad contrast with that of the Government, who court the fullest investigation. Rep. Marques sat up all night to prepare a report censuring the Minister of Foreign Affairs for not doing what he was going to do the very next morning what he had actually made an appointment to do.

There was no time to be lost or the grievance would have vanished into thin air. Rep. Marques probably feels the loss of sleep as much as anyone, which perhaps accounts for the loose and abusive tone of a report which was disingenuous from beginning to end. Death of II. TV.

Auld. The community was shocked on the arrival of the Zealandia to learn that Harry W. Auld, clerk in the Custom House, had met with his death in a railway accident at Oakland. Particulars of the disaster appear in our San Francisco letter. Harry went over to the Coast for a pleasure trip, and when he was drowned was on his way to get his sisters Edith and Maud and bring them to Honolulu.

A pocket book, letters and initials on hiB clothing proved hiB identity. Consul also recognized him. His sisters hearing of the accident, went to the Morgue, Sisters of the Convent accompanying them, but nothing could induce them to enter the room where the remains lay. His pocket-book was brought to them, and after a half fearful glance at its contents their low crying gave way to convulsive sobs. The body was taken to the undertakers to be embalmed and will be brought to Honolulu on the Australia.

The deceased's full name was Henri Wilakulani Auld, son of Mr. Jamea Auld, employed at rthe Press Publishing office. He was born4 October 12, 1863, consequently at the time of his sad death was 26 years 7 months and 18 days of age. There was not a more promising Hawaiian in the Kingdom. He was beloved by all who knew him, and he held a very responsible situation in the Custom House which he filled with much' credit.

Sympathy is' expressed on all sides for his widow, father and sisters. EAD THE DAILY ADVERTISES if you want tne latest news. THE OUTLOOK. Friends of the Islands as well as others, will look with interest for the return to San Francisco of the Australia which left on Friday. Private letters will convey individ ual opinions on the sugar question, and no doubt much gloomy foreboding and uncertainty will be expressed.

Perhaps the impression thus carried may be darker colored than the facts warrant, with no knowledge as to what disposition the Senate has made or will make of the tariff bill, it is impossible to indicate any conclusive opinion as that of our community. At present we know that the House has expressed its opinion in favor of a removal of all sugar duties, and in favor of a bounty to producers. We also know that the President and both branches of Congress are Republican, and it appears probable that the duty may be finally removed by the present Congress. It has been an extremely favorable time to make a strike at sugar. In the United States it is raised chiefly br Democratic States, and the groat hub bub and outcry in the country against trusts, aimed chiefly at the sugar trust, has given the majority a chance to earn a little cheap popularity and perhaps gain votes and they need them by removing the sugar duties.

Rut the Senate is a very much more conservative branch than the House, and it is thought that this body will consider very carefully before striking fifty millions, not to say sevonty millions, at a blew, from the national income and at the same time take the weight of the blow in the States from the producers and from the promising beet sugar industry by the very doubtful and un-American plan of a bounty. It is thought also that such further pension measures will become law at this Congress aB to materially increase the expenditure in that direction, in which case caution will have to be used in cutting off the receipts. It is probable that the Senate, if it does not pass the repeal of the sugar duty, will at least cut it down from thirty to fifty per cent. This course seems the most probable. But supposing we lose the entire benefit of the treaty by our absolute repeal of the duty, what next? For us the important question will be, what price are we to get for our sugar? The price will be just what the market price in the rest of the world happens to be, and that of course will depend on the supply from time to time.

Countries which cannot raise sugar cheaply must submit to defeat in the business. Perhaps we shall have something of the same experience which was obsorved in 1876. When the Reciprocity Treaty went into effect it was popularly supposed that the consumer of sugar on the Pacific Coast was going to get his coffee sweetened at one to two cents a pound cheaper. The economist and statistician knew differently and said that the producer and refiner would make the difference, and they did was the effect intended in Washington, and it was known that the benefit resulting to the United States would, or ought to be, increased trade and commerce, and that result has been attained also For now the United States sell us over 79 per cent, of all of our imports and carries over 80 per cent, of our entire carrying trade. This is a better showing than appears for the States with any other foreign country.

Since the treaty went into effect, our imports have increased nearly four hundred per or from 1,505,000 to Most of this has gone into the hands of merchants, mechanics, artizans and farmers on the Pacific Coast. The price of sugar in the United States will fall as soon as the world's production so increases over the demand as to bring about that result. The Cuban or Mexican or Chinese grower of sugar is not going to sell to America at any price which would net him from a half to a cent more than what he could get before, if he can get more in London. The grower is going to continue to sell where he can get the best price. But the removal of duty will have this important effect: it will stimulate the growth of sugar in those countries near the United States where the industry has languished and been largely ruined for the past three or four years by the low price of sugar.

The low price has been occasioned by sugar bounties in Europe, but Europe is growing weary of this system and the first extensive war and that is not far off wil smash it This will cut off much pf the beet industry and send it back to the tropics where cane is the dependence. But why -has sugar growing been in such in the West Indies, Central America, etc. Why it is because sugar- cannot -be raised at, the low prices realized. That at 6Q to 80 per ton it was given up. Now some of our sugar estates can live at those prices and whensugar gets so low, theyMvill still 'continue to exist.

But ho doubt some concerns will go under and we shall have to face a period of stagnation Those who know the friendly dis position of the United States towards us will ask with surprise why we have not provided for this contingency. The present Ministry attempted to do so and found the United States cordially willing to enter into negotiations by which we could have" revised our treaty into a practical commercial union. Of course advantages were asked and wo could have granted the concessions desired with dignity and honor, and an autonomy and independence would have been assured. At this juncture our elec tion intervenes and for the sake of a little political capital, a hue and cry was raised about our independence, it resulted in preventing the negotiation and a final agreement between America and Hawaii. Now, the occasion has gone by and perhaps our great neighbor may not be willing to resume negotiations.

The nation will not forget that to the National Reform party we owe this ruinous blow at our commercial life and so at the general prosperity of the country. We might to-day have had the relief of feeling and knowing that what we have or are likely to lose in sugarwe should get back in part in other matters. But adversity-may teach us good lessons. It is not a safe or healthy condition to depend wholly on one industry. We ought to and must divert our capital into other channels.

Sugar will continue to be a large source of supply. Coffee should be another. Perhaps tea will afford some relief, or cinchona, or some other branches Com. CORRESPONDENCE. We do not hold ourselves responsible for the statements made, or opinions expressed by our correspondents.

The Majority Kcport on Foreign Aflnirg. Mb. Editor: Absurd throughout! It would be difficult outside of bedlam to find anything more ridiculous. The grotesque, the laughable, and the satirical are blended in about equal proportions. To begin with, the scope of the resolution under which the committee acts, is much beyond the rules of all the best governments of the world.

Even where popular liberty goes, so far as it does in the United States, the committees of inquiry in Congress as to treaty negotiations, are always limited by the proviso, "if not incompatible with the public interest." Full inquiry and discussion are postponed until a treaty has been negotiated, and then the question is on its ratification or rejection. The Ministers have certainly gone to the utmost limits of propriety in answering the extraordinary demand of the committee on Foreign Relations. The attitude and spirit of the majority of the committee are grossly improper, subversive of dignified government, and disrespectful to the United States, always a friend to Hawaii, to her antonomy, independence and welfare. Marques and his three associates are greatly troubled about the independence of Hawaii. What have they ever done for the independence of Hawaii? Nothing can more strongly tend to destroy the independence of a people than such insane twaddle as this of the majority of the committee of Foreign Affairs.

It brings ridicule and contempt on the Hawaiian Kingdom. The strong and well-managed governments of Europe tolerate no such nonsense and signs of anarchy in the islands and little countries near them. They just brush aside the noisy demagogues as they would flies, and place over them governors or viceroys to maintain order and decency. The United States, conscious of her great power, always generous toward the weaker nations, does not deem it expedient to intrude in the affairs of Hawaii, which is close to her doors. If anything can be destructive to Hawaiian independence and best interests, it will be the anarchy, the turmoil, and utter incompetency for government, of which the report of the committee on Foreign Affairs furnishes striking illustration.

Can anything be more ridiculous than A. Marques' claiming to speak for Hawaii? Who is he? Whence did he come? Think of his masquerading as a Hawaiian representative against the honesty and good faith of such men as Messrs. Damon, Thurston and Austin men who, by many years of intelligent effort, have sought to promote the prosperity and good government of this little kingdom. The hero of Samoa; was he not an associate of the adventurer Moreno in disorder and misrule? Is Marques hoping to play the part of the Italian adventurer? Is it the fate of Hawaii to be annoyed and made ridiculous by two Italian adventurers? Are such men to be tolerated in launching insult at the United States just at the lime when cool prudence and common senBe are needed to so negotiate with our great and generous neighbor that the business Srid prosperity of these islands shall be secured? There is no doubt that the United States is en-' tirely willing to grant the most favorable terms to Hawaii in a new treaty. BuLeha.

cannot be, expected to do this, if Hawaii allows herself to be represented by such adventurers and' charlatans as how are indulging in the grotesque and insane' babble of the majority of the on Foreign Affairs. Hawaii Nei. Mr. and Mrs. C.
