Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.

| Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
PARIS, January 21.-In the House oi
Deputies to-day, Bishop Freppel asked
what measures the government was TAX
ing to protect the position of France in
the Pacific, especially with regard to
Easter Island, which had been reported
ceded to Chile. Further, although the
Tongway group belongs to Tahiti, Eng
land had annexed two of those islands.
Did the government regard this annexa-
ton as final? And what action was in
tended in view of the recent English an
nexations in the Cook group. Admiral
Krantz, Minister of Marine, replied that
the admiral navy had been consulted and
all agreed it was useless to retain Easter
Island. AS for Cook Islands, they had
never belonged to France. Regarding
Tongway, the Government held that
England had no right to retain two
islands which she annexed. Although
the islands really possessed no import
ance, Bishop Freppel maintained the i'm
portance Of Easter Island. Besides the
annexation Of Tongway, he said the
British had neglected no opportunity to
deal blow at French influence in
Oceanica. The Government was eth Eer
ill-informed or wanting in frmness.
France had abandoned Egypt and the
New Hebrides and the Colonial admins
tration was again showing negligence
and incapacity.
The Minister of Marine responded,
maintained his ground, and adding that
France must claim the whole Tahiti
group, but if they were not surrendered
there would be no reason for declaring
war against Great Britain, as the national
honor is in no way concerned.

THE CHARTER FIGHT.
GroundIess Reflections on Hon. y
M. Whites Good FaithI

MI. whites Good Faith.
| SACRAMENTO, January 21.-On account
of an article which lately appeared in
the Los Angeles Times, rumors were
started afoat here this afternoon to the
effect that Stephen M. White was not
acting in good faith in his efforts
to have the Los Angeles Char
ter passed. This, like all sensa-
tional reports, rapidly gained currency,
until, tonight, it is the all-absorbing
topic CT conversation in the hotels and
Capitol lobbies. Mr.. Whites character
| is SO well known by everybody that but
few persons can be found who profess to
believe the story. 1t is generally.de-
|ncunced as an invention of the enemies
of the charter.
Senator Moffitt said tonight: 81
know White, is and always has been, the
strongest friend the Los Angeles Charter
has had in the Legislature. He asked
me at the opening of the session, as a
personal favor to him, to support the
Charter with my vote and influence" "
Other Senators express themselves in q
similar manner.
The fight on the Los Angeles Charter
is now getting interesting. Its enemies,

afternoon when the Assembly referred
it to committee. This is its
second reference to committee
within three legislative days, and this
time it's enemies declare it is there to
stay. The ranks of the friends Of the
Charter, however, are rapidly being aug
mented. To.night's train brought quite
number of prominent citizens from Los
Angeles. Among them are I'll q Osborne,
of the Eapress, and Major E. W. Jones,
President of the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce. Lacey denies that he is
opposing the charter on any other than
constitutional grounds.

tackled Contractor Searle with their
knives in front of the First National
Bank to-day when he explained to them
that he had paid them all the money he
had or would receive until the final esti-

threatened to burn all the railroad
bridges, stop the trains and take their
money by force, and then they made an
attack on the contractor. Mayor Cowan
with several citizens and a number OF po-
lice interfered and the disturbance was
finally quelled without serious results.

SEATTLE, W. T., January 21.-ln ac-
eordance with an order of the Executive
Committee of the miners, the District
Assembly, Knights of Labor, for Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia, the
members of the order at the Gilman,
Cedar Mountain, Black Diamond and
franklin coal mines abandoned work this
morning. The workmen at the Black
Diamond and franklin mines stayed out
three hours, and, after deliberation, CON
cluded to return to work. 1t is said the
order affects the Knights of Labor in
every mine in the northwest, and that
the most serious trouble is imminent.
The origin of the trouble is in the late
riot at Newcastle. The owners there
after the trouble, decided to allow only
Union miners to return to work. and
therefore shut out about thirty Knights
It is known with certainty that the
Knights Of Labor on Sunday secretly
shipped to Newcastle fifty stands o

NIGHT BEFOBE DAY.
by THE POET SCOUT.

In struggling with the cares OF Lie.
That daily cross your path.
Keep your courage in the strife;
Fear not misfortune's wrath;
And though. ofttimes. the cheerful light
OF hope seems far away,
Remember that the darkest night
Is just before the day.
Life's sunshine often hides behind
Mfsfortupe's sombre clouds,
And cares and sorrows round us wind,
Like black and gloomy shrouds;
IT'S then the harder we must fight,
To drive the clouds away,
Rememb ber that the darkest night
Is just before the day.
True courage is q mighty wall,
On which the winds and rain
or grief and trouble ever fall
With power, but in vain;
Ii, when you struggle for the right,
You SEQ no hopsful ray,
Remember that the darkest night
Is just before the day.
The clouds will break anon and CLEANS
OF Ofsunshine will descend
And all throughout your soul Its beams,
In golden light will blend
Then struggle on with all your might,
And as you toll and pray.
Remember that the dark est night
Is just before the day.
