The mistake of the many lies in the fact that Hawaii is not a new country.

Where, then, is the field for the employment of the large infiux of people which is rapidly coming into Honolulu.

This is the cultivation of coffee, and those who have engaged in this business to any extent are fully justified in their expectations. It can readily be seen, however, that in order

The matter is not without its humorous aspect The Italian minister to China was very much ultimatum. But he had as yet no ships to back in a hurry to have the "lease," and penned an him, and his Government was forced to disavow his attitude. The Chinese are in recognizing their advantage, and it is quite possible that Italy may have to do some fighting in order to obtain what other powers get for the mere asking. The Italians them selves are not quite certain that it is wise for them to embark in such a vonture, Cesare Lombros, in the Nuova Antologia, expresses himself to the following effect.

It is not yet certain that the partitioning of China wifi really benefit the powers, engaged in it, and Italy should not incur unnecessary risks, in view of the deplorable state of her finances. The European powers who so unceremoniously divide China remind one of the fishermen in the fairy tale, who built their huts on an island and felt very comfortable, until a terrible movement of the ground threw them into the sea. Too late they discovered that their island was a big fish and that it was. very much alive. Moreover, the partner whom Italy has in this venture is not very trustworthy England encourages Italy in her adventurous policy for entirely selfish reasons. The same England has used Italy as her cat's paw Africa, and now she repeats the experiment in China.

Italy has evidently gone too far to recede, however, and the British ambassador in China has been entrusted with the management of the affair Halle, Rome, says

"Negotiations with the Chinese Government no reason why-Italy should stand back.
