FALL OF A DYNASTY.
Prophecy ForeteIIinK the Fad of the Pres-
ent Ruling House of China

| ent Ruling House OF China
1 Reports of serious revolt against
! the present Chinese government in
| Manchurin, and the issue of proclama-
| tions by the rebels declaring that the
/ Manchu dynasty is near its end, have
! created great deal of interest among
the foreign colony in the treaty ports,
/ says the Shanghai correspondent of the
I New York sun. News that bears d.
rectly upon the reported disaffection
! In many provinces of China comes from
Nanking. 1t appears that all up
through the great valley of the
Yangtse finely written prophecy Of
the approaching end of Manohu rule is
being circulated. 1t is almost impos-
ible for foreigner who has not lived
in China to understand the Importance
that is given by the gentry to any
thing which is well written or care
fully printed. If such a document
does not strongly violate the proba-
bilities it will be accepted as gospel
truth.
This prophecy appears TO be firmly
believed by all the Chinese who have
read 1t. 1t purports to have been writ
ten by Huan-Peh-Shan, who. in a vi
sion, describes the downfall of the pres
ent government. II shows considera-
bic literary ability, but anyone who is
sIxeptical may readily see that the au-
thor has thrown in local detail to clinch
his prophecy.
The sketch of the emperors OF China
Is very well done, but this historical
introduction appears 10 have been
written merely 10 lull the suspicious of
the reader and 20 induce him 10 accept
the sensational statements about the
coming ruin of the Manchu dynasty.
The prophet declares that the great
provinces of Yunan and kueichou are
the first that viii abandon the empire.
After this China viii be divided into
three kingdoms bat this viii not take
place and permanent peace viii not be-
secured until the woods are cleared
from Purple mountain and the waters
Of Lotus lake are dried up. The spe-
cious nature Of such a prophecy may
be seen when il is stated that about ali
the forests has been cut of Of Purple
mountain, while in dry years one may
walk over the bed Of Lotus lake,
which IS converted into solid ground
ANY season Of drought my. therefore,
be taken by the couspirators with the
assurance that the two main items OF
this prophecy viii be found fulfilled.

ness methods The present bust

pains and patient labor by Mr.
Damon and the two able hnan

the old regime financial confusion,
resulting from dcarth of method,
was the rule; under the present
system a cash balance is struck
daily and the Government can tell
at a glance how it, assets and

opened in the morning. There is
both safety and economy in such
methods and the weekly statement

EVIDENT MEASUREMENTS.

The Bulletin, like other good
rovalists, whose hone is stronger
than their judgment attempts by
profession Of disbelief to discredit
the news received by the last mail,
especially the disp, tche5 sent to
Minister Hatch iron Washington,
transmitted through Cor sul-General
Wilder at San Francisco.
Although Mr.. Wilder had moth
ing wahtever to with the matter
beyond remailing the dispatch by
the Australia, yet the BHlLehH, i'll
the usual sneaking manner, know
ing only too we'll the accuracy OF
the document, uses the dispatch as
pretext for an attack on Mr..
Wilder and the Provisional Gov
eminent.
The evident INSCRIPTIONS duplic-
ity of the author of the following
paragraph is worthy both the cause
and journal it represents:
BY previous mail private report
was received that Consul General
Wilder was selling Hawaiian bonds al
| s.. The story seemed so improbable
/ that the Bulletin preferred to withhold
| it for further information. To.day's
mail confirms the report to the extent
of the price of the bonds, but the in
| formant could not trace up the original
seller. A merchant of Honolulu was
however the purchaser at 50.
If the story was improbable why
did the BRiietin print it ? If there
were admitted doubts of the &C.
curacy of the private report" "a
pet Royalist scheme for manuiact
uring political news by the
way why did not the Bulletin
that makes boast of its editorial
fairness, call at the Finance De
partment and make inquiry as tc
whether any Hawaiian bonds had
been placed on the market outside
Of Honolulu
Forced sales of private holdings
may or may not have taken place
both here and abroad at less than
market rates; but 10 bonds have
been placed upon the market at the
price quoted by the BnIlehn and
that journal knew the falsity of the
statement when it was made.
However, if the BHllshH and the
Royalists can stand such political
methods, AnneXatiolis.s and the
/ Government have little cause tc
complain. The dav has passed
when statements from such sources
have any effect abroad.

MR.. WATERHoUSE AND RAPID
TRANSIT.

The liberal offer Of Mr.. John T..
Waterhouse to donate $40, 900 for
the construction Of an electric rail-
way to the pail is typical Of that
gentleman. There is no doubt as
to the desirability of such a road
and, if economically managed after
construction, it could, we believe,
be made to pay a fair interest on
the investment. The first outlay
would practically cover the output
of the company, as thereafter the
running expense would be, it is
estimated, not more than one-third
that Of a horse railway. Several
wealthy citizens, it is learned, have
already been looking over the route,
at least as far as the electric light
station, and are only waiting for
more settled times to organize a
stock company for the purpose.
The proposition Of Mr., Water
house for rapid transit through
Nuuanu Valley suggests the inn
portance of such communication all
over the town. The removal of
the present obnoxious tracks and
rumbling cars of the Tramways
Company and the substitution OF
fiat rails and swiftly moving
vehicles is something to which this
enlightened community was en-
titled long ago. 1t is to be hoped
that not only the generous offer OF
Mr.. Warehouse but the almost
certain security for good profits
will tempt local capital in this
direction.
Statistics show that if all the
street car lines of the United States
were capitalized at actual cost a
charge of one cent for a ride in
stead of FIVE cents would yield a
rich return to the investors. The
capitalization of the present local
company was generally understood
TO be much larger than the actual
cost, and, with the expensive loco
motion of animals, is still able to

THE CHINESE PETITION

The Chinese petitioners by the |
extraordinary document presented |
10 the Government have placed
themselves in the absurd position
of asking the highest possible
favor of the Government, namely
the right to vote, and at the time
questioning the sovereign power OF
the Government to which they APP
peal. We presume this is unin-
territorial on the part of our Chi
nese friends.
Mr. Horace Wright, a former
employee Of the Foreign Office, has
avowed the authorship Of the pet-
ton. and argues in support Of the
position that a foreign government
can only make treaty with a
g0asrnmcHt de Iuye and not with a
Government dc tact0. If he is cor
rect the Provisional Government
stands recognized as a Government
dc juye, because President Harri-
son negotiated a treaty with it. In
fact, however, international law
knows only governments de tarf0.
President Woolsey in sec. 40 Of
his work on International Law,
page 80, has the misfortune tc
differ from Mr.. Wright. Woolsey
says: Hence it follows that if q
State has altered its form Of govern
uent, or by some revolution, peace
full or violent has suffered a dis
ruption, or has become united witt
another, all of these things are be
yond the province Of international
law, whose only inquiry is whether
a certain community is in matter o
fact a separate independent exist
cnce, performing the functions of {
state and able to take upon itsel
State responsibilities. The question
Of a States right to exist is al
internal one, to be decided by those
within its borders who belong tC
Us organization "ThC
net of existence in general is easy
10 be Judged Of, and is "the onl!
fact which nations need to know
in order that they may enter int an'
fulfill reciprocal obligations.
No Government can be com
PEELED to do business with another
but if it wishes to, itmust deal will
the Government de facto, to whom
it must accredit its agents. An,
person within the jurisdiction Of al
existing Government who ques
tons its sovereignty is guilty Q
treason to it. We advise the
Chinese petitioners to get out o
the position in which Mr.. Wright
fling at the Government has place
them, with all the speed at thei
command.
