COL. F. D. HUESTIS RETURNED.

He Tells of His Trip to the Orient—An Interesting Journey—Tlie Colonel Does Nor Want to Leave America Again.

Colonel and Mrs. F. D. Huestis have returned to Olympia from their trip to China and Japan, and in an interview with the OlympUtn the Colonel gives a graphic account of their trip, which will be read with peculiar interest by their friends in this city. He said:

We are more than glad to get back home in America. I do not think there is any country or any people, institutions or life which can be compared with our own. "In regard to Japan 'and China I will say that I am rather disappointed in both. I went directly to Hong Kong. China, only stopping two days in Japan. Hong Kong is a city of 75,000 people belonging to the English, and about one-third of the population are Europeans. Some portions are very pretty, the buildings oriental in architecture. The Chinese do all the manufacturing and labor. The laboring classes are controlled by unions and get very little for their work or time. There as all through China where I visited, everything is very cheap, mechanics of the first class getting but 8 yen a month, which in our money means S4. I invariable got in exchange two silver for one gold dollar, which by the way. it seems to settle the argument of our silverites in this country. "I visited Canton, which is supposed to be the largest city in the empire, estimated population from two to three and one-halt' millions, one-third of which live in boats on the numerous canals and the Pearl river, which runs through the city. This is the great silk manufacturing town of China, also of the pearl workers, whose work is very fine. There are numerous other industries including all sorts of curios, embroideries, etc. The city is not regularly laid out but is one conglomerate mass of wood, adobe and brick buildings, seldom more than one story in height, and the streets from 4 to S feet wide. The entire absence of any wheeled vehicles, or any beasts of burden is very noticeable, as everything is carried upon the backs of coolies. Even people of the better class are carried about in sedan chairs by two or four coolies. When our party passed through the street there ^was a continual yelling kept up, warning the people to get out ot the way as the white devils were coming, and very often the priests drummed on their tom-toms, invoking the aid of the gods to protect them from us.

They seem to be a law abiding set of people, all they asked was to be let alone. There are very few Americans in China outside of the missionaries, and these are in the seaport towns."

In response to the question as to the advisability of Americans going to China to engage in business, Col. Huestis said: "It is no country for an American to go with the expectation of making money unless he has plenty of money to go into exporting and importing or some other form of commerce. As far as pleasure is concerned I would ad vise my friends to stay at home. The average Chinaman has no patriotism or love of country in fact, the more intelligent of those with whom I conversed expressed their hatred of their own land. Outside the cities the country is under a high state of cultiva^ tion. There is hardly an acre in the whole empire that is not utilized. The principal productions are rice, tea. wood, poppies, from which the opium of commerce is manufactured, and vegetables. There is very little fruit. "I was very much surprised at findng no wharves or piers in the coast cities for vessels to load and unload their cargoes, everything being done by coolies with their native boats and baskets, men, women and children all working together transferring the cargo from the ships to hundreds of scows or junks which are constantly plying between the shore and the vessels. All the labor of transferring thie cargoes and stowing them away is performed by the natives, the average wages per day being about 20 cents.

Leaving China upon our return we took the steamship Glen Ogle at Hong Kong, one of the largest and ileetiest of the line known as the Glen line, running between the English cities by way of the Suez canal to Chinese and Japanese ports. We passed through the inland sea which resembles Puget tiound very much, with the exception of the absence of timber upon its numerous islands. "We stopped at Shinmasaki where Li Hung Chang was shot by the Japanese. This is the place where the Japanese soldiers embarked for China, also where the treaty of peace was arranged between Japan and China It was a non-treaty port, and nobody but natives are allowed to land. "My American passport, however, which was kindly sent me by the late Secretary-of-State, General Gresham, passed me through, and as soon as I

showed it to any Japanese official was treated with the utmost kindness and consideration in fact, not only in Japan, but at all points in China the picture of the American eagle, and the fact that I was a "Mellican man" gave me the best they had in the shop. "From Shinamasaki we went to Kobe and from there to Kioto, the old original capital of Japan, and where they are now holding the national exhibibition, which is a very interesting and creditable show. I notice by their register that some 500 Americans had visited there during the season. Osaki is a large manufacturing center in fact the largest in Japan, manufacturing all kinds of cloth goods, including a fine quality of silk also many other articles of commerce, including Elgin watches, shoes and oil, which is made from the rape plant.

"I noticed that most of the machinery that is used in the manufactories is of the English or American type, but the Japs are fast learning to make their own and will soon stop buying from any other country as they are the greatest imitators in the world, and I have no hesitation in saying that not only our own country, but even England, Germany and France with their cheap labor cannot compete with the Chinese or Japanese, and the only protection for our laboring class or the manufacturer is a sufficiently high tariff to keep them from flooding our country with everything in the shape of clothing, watches, clocks, hats, shoes, knives, in short, nine-tenths of everything we need. This I know to be a fact ,as I purchased articles of wearing apparel, cigars, embroideries, cabinet boxes and numerous other articles simply to show the difference in price there "and here.

"Our trip through Japan by rail of some 400 miles was not as pleasant as some have taken. While the track is fairly smooth, the cars are of the English style, and the first class cars are not nearly so comfortable as the caboose on our freight train, the guage being three and one-half instead of 4 feet eight and one-half inches. "This country like China is under a high state of cultivation, and the products are similar. Everywhere we were the objects of the greatest curiosity, especially the ladies of our party, and as our interpreter expressed it they thought we must be very poor or our tailors very stingy, their dresses were so tight fitting and seantycouipared to theirs, with the exception of the big sleeves which they thought were put in upside down.

"We brought up at Yokahama, which is a very pretty and interesting city but very much subject to earthquakes and disturbances of like nature. There, like Ilong Kong, China, is :a large white population, and I stayed there the rest of the time at the Grand hotel, which is well kept and presided over=by an old Portlander, Mr. Eppinger, who did everything possible for our comfort. Tokio, the present.capital, is but a short distance from Yokahama and is a very interesting old city. The government buildings being very fine, and the native temples where their worship is conducted being very curious and beautiful. The balance of our party too took in the surrounding places."

In speaking of the Doolittle flag episode, of which mention was made in the Pust-lnlelUgcncer some time ago Col. Huestis said: "I saw in the Post-Intclligenccr a copy of a dispatch which Mr. Cockrell had sent to that paper regarding Congress' man Doolittle and his flag. To correct any false impression that may have been caused by that dispatch, I will say that the affair occurred on the day that the Emperor or Mikado passed through Yokahama on his way to the capital. Of course the native element was excited and enthusiastic and anxious to show their love and loyalty to their sovereign. Congressman Doolittle out of respect to the Japanese carries the flag of our own country underneath that of Japan, which everybody knows is the proper way to carry it on .such an occasion and at such a time and place, if carried at all. I do not think in this country we would allow.a flap to put his flag above ours, and while I did not go to see the Emperor and was not of the party, I think Mr. Cockrell'very much hard up for news to send such a dispatch, and also am very sure that our Congressman is perfectly competent to judge for him self. "I found the Japs very enthusiastic and loyal to their country, somewhat inflated with their recent victory over the Chinese, which by the way was boy's play, as from their published reports there were not as many men killed, wounded and taken prisoner during the whole war as in any one of our battles in the late war. In fact it was all one-sided, the Chinese making but very little resistance or doing any damage. A Japanese naval officer that was in all of their naval engagements told me that he had never seen a shell explode that was fired by the Chinese that upon investigation was not found to be loaded with sand, dried peas or something of that sort. I must say, however, that the Japs are very belligerent and brave and are anxious to become a strong and warlike nation. They do not like En-

land, France, Germany or Russia, and often talk of twisting the British Lion's tail, but are very much in love with Americans and American institutions.

Regarding our representatives abroad, Col. Heustis said: "They are a sort of useless and expensive luxury. Of course there are exceptions and while I think that the presence of an active thorough business man as consul at these ports would be of benefit in a great many ways to our country and people, they are not the kind that generally get these appointments. At several places, especially Dobe, in visiting the consul to get information or assistance if we needed any we were compelled to go to the English side to get it, but at Yokahama, Vice Consul McLain who has been there 14 years, knows the country, and speaks the language, was always ready to help any Americans coming to him, in fact I found him the best posted «man and the most industrious of any one on the entire'trip. I think he should be con sul general under the next administra tion which will be Republican I am sure. Mr. Hunt, consul at Hong Kong, was also a very efficient representative. The majority, however, did not appear to have any thing to do, .or want to have anything to occupy themselves about except attend receptions and dance attendance upon royalty, and I am in favor of abolishing the office and letting the dignity of our country take care of itself.

I wish to say a good word in behalf of the Northern Pacific Steamship Co., and officers, especially in the good old ship Tacoma, which took us safely through to Hong Kong and back to Yokahama. Captain Crawford and his entire staff id everything in their power for our comfort, and if anybody imagines that they want to go to Asia, which in my estimation is a very foolish trip, I have no hesitation in saying, take the Takoma. She brought back a cargo of over 3000 tons, principally tea, although there was some 500 bales of silk, and made the fastest time she ever has, being out 14 days from Yokahama to Victoria. "No I do not enjoy my trip at all. I did not feel well from the time we left the straits until we got back and am ready to promise that I shall never leave my own country again. If anybody wishes that I should see any more foreign parts they will have to bring them over here. I missed the newspapers more than anything else, as those in Japanand China contained everything but news, especially American news, and I am inclined to think that a paper conducted upon the American plan in any of the cities I have mentioned would pay."
