JOHN YOUNG'S TESTIMONY.
His Reply to A Charge That Has
Been DiShed Up Anew.

The following gstatement made by
John Young, grandfather of Queen
Emma, in November 81, 1927, is
particularly interesting at this
time:
Whereas, it has been represented by
many persons that the labors of mis-
sionaries in these Islands are attended
with evil and disadvantage to the peo-
pie, hereby most cheerfuily give my
testimony to the contrary. / am fully
convinced that the good which is ac-
complished and already effected is not
little. The great and radical change
already made for the better in the
manners and customs of this people,
has far surpassed my most sanguine
expectations. During the forty years
thatJ have resided here, l have known
ings cruelty massacred In their ex-
terminating wars. have seen multi
tudes of my fellow beings offered in
sacrifice to their idol gods. / have
seen this large island (HawaiD, once
filled with inhabitants, dwindle down
to its present numbers through wars
and disease, and am persuaded that
nothing but Christianity can preserve
them from total extinction. / rejoice
that true religion is taking the place
of superstition and idOlatry, that good
morals are superseding the reign of
crime, and that q code Of Christian
laws is about to take the place of
tyranny and oppression. These things
are what / have long wished for, but
have never seen till now. / thank
God that in my old age / see them,
and humbly trust feel them too.

President Smith stated the OBJ
ject Of the gathering was for the
purpose of bringing the profession
into closer touch. This was mere
ly an experimental meeting, and it
was hoped would result in some
definite form of organization, with
gatherings at least once a year.
General work Of the Board in
Honolulu and elsewhere was com
mented on by President Smith. 1t
gave him pleasure to meet those
present, and he regretted limited
facilities prevented those employed
under the Board on Hawaii from
attending. Beneficial results were
expected from the initiatory con
ference Of Governm ent physicians.
He felt sure everyone was earnest
in the work allotted. The fullest
discussion was asked from those
present on matters affecting the
interests Of the people at large.
The visitors were informed that
conveyances would be at their dis
posal to visit the experimental sta
ton at Kalihi, insane asylum,
Lunalilo Home, Queens Hospital
and other places.
President Smith spoke earnestly
on the subject of leprosy. He re-
cited what had been done In the
matter of experimental work, etc.
Those on the leprosy committee
were working zealously in the hope
of alleviating the sufferers. Quar-
antine and sanitary measures re-
quired a great deal of time and
attention, more so at this port than
all others in the islands combined
on account of Oriental immigra-
ton.
Organization and the early his
tory Of the Board of Health was
referred to. Reports on leprosy in
the islands and elsewhere, copies
being available for distribution,
showed the grand work accom-
plished under w. NJ. Gibson. These
would stand as a monument TO the
energy displayed by that gentle
man regarding leprosy. The Board
wished to gather data from all
sources on the treatment ofleprosy
it was also desirable to establish 9
complete library on the subject.
The president understood that sew
eral gentlemen had prepared papers
touching treatment Of the disease.
These would be read and discussed.
He hoped those present would take
advantage Of the opportunity.

THE DANGER IN SUGAR
Some Interesting Facts Not
Known at Home.
UNCLEAN AND GERM LADENED
Chinese Wares Being Largely Con
sumed in Oregon ana Washington
That Are Unfit for Use.

Portland, Or. June 26.-The steam
ship Tacoma arrived at Victoria re-
Gently from Hong Kong, China, with
the latest Oriental advices and reports
the plague i'll that unfortunate country
again raging violently. 1t is said by
natives from Annoy that this awful pes
thence has suddenly broke out IN the
Tungan district, China, with terrible
violence, 40 per cent of the inhabitants
actually dying of the disease and few
escaping the sickness. Those who are
able to leave are doing so only to carry
the plague elsewhere.
Referring to the report well-known
business man stated to the press repre-
sentatives tonight that the Tungan dis
trict is one of the sources of supply for
raw sugar for the Hong Kong sugar
refineries and as large quantities OF
these sugars were shipped to the Do
minion of Canada and the United
States that the people hardly appreciate
the frightful results that might fol-
low the introduction Of the plague into
America through the use of unclean
merchandise.
In view of all this a recent article
published in leading coast paper
which dealt eXhaustively with the sub
iect is of general interest and is produced
below. After some general remarks on
household economy this stated:

Washington, July 1.-Superintend-
ent Duffield, of the coast and geodetic
survey, said today he was hopeful that
the present year would see the compile
ton of the work of triangulating the
country from ocean to ocean, which
has been under way for some time past.
The party for the Rocky Mountains left
early in the season, and is now i'll Colo
RADIO. One result of the work will be
to definitely establish distances. The
general added:
when it is done we shall know how
far it is from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean,
The party that is engaged in deter
mining the exact boundary line be-
tween the United States and British
territory in the Northwest is expected
to be able to report material progress
at the end of the season.

The OIynpia'S Trial Trip.

San Francisco, July 1.-The Olym-
pia went to sea today, and demon
started that she is one of the wOrthiest
of her class in the feet of white fight
ers comprising the United States navy.
An official trial was called for by the
government. Such is the case always
with a new vessel just entering the
navy. The trial was conducted exclu-
sively by government officials, and was
to comprise a thorough test of every
thing pertaining to the workings OF a
modern war cruiser, from the firing OF
the immense bow -chasers down to cut
ting turns within a limited space in
mid ocean. Every caper the handsome
flyer essayed she accomplished with
surprising grace. Her guns worked
to perfection, and during her fourteen
hour run over measured course she
averaged within a minute fraction of
twenty knots an hour, under natural
draught. The object of the trial was
to ascertain whether or not the cruiser
was in perfect trim for actual war
duty, and was simply preliminary to
assigning HeI W HeI plaoo dHloAS oho
regular line of fighters.
The Olympia's officers and crew
were delighted with the showing she
made, and could not say too many nice
things about her. Another thing which
caused them ease of mind was the fact
that although every bolt and block con-
nected with the vessel was put TO the
severest strain, not an accident &C.
Cured throughout the trip.

ONE POLICY JUST NOW
To Dissolve Parliament as
Soon as Possible.
AN ACCUSATION OF DISCOURTESY
A, Analogy From the New Premier and
Its Acceptance by Roseb"ry III
the House Of Lords.

Its Acceptance ny hoSe"''S "
the House of Lords.
London, June 29.-In the house OF
Lords today Premier Marquis oalls-
bury announced that he hoped to obtain
the oueen's consent to the dissolution
of parliament July 8. He added that
the time had not arrived for declara-
ton of policy in behalf of the conserv-
ative party. The latter, he added,
only had one policy at present. ana
that was to dissolve parliament as soon
as possible Lord Rosebery expressed
surprise at the government declining
to disclose its policy. Continuing the
ex.premier asked for an explanation OF
the Marquis of Salisbury's strange pro
ceedings in sending to Mr.. Campbell
Bannerman, the secretary OF state 1oI
war, Tuesday morning for the seals Oh
the latter's Office The Marquis OF
Salisbury said the Rosebery statement
was incorrect He explained that,
after Fridays vote, in the house OF
commons, he, the Marquis of Salisbury
thought it desirable to appoint min
lister of war forthwith, and Therefore he
sent to Mr.. Campbell Bannerman to
ask him if it was convenient for him
TO deliver his official seals to the sover'
eign earlier than the other ministers,
and. if he did not desire to go TO Wind
sOr himself, he could deliver them tC
the private secretary of the Marquis OF
Salisbury.
The Earl of Kimberly, late secretary
of state of foreign affairs, asserted the
Marquis of Salisbury had sent his Sec
rotary to Mr.. Campbell Bannerman tol
the seals, Just as he would send foot
man on an errand, and thought the ac-
ton of the marquis was extremely dis
courteous. In reply, the Marquis OF
Salisbury said if Mr.. Campbell-Ban'
herman thought he. the Marquis OF
Salisbury, had acted discourteously
he begged to express his extreme re-
grets for the occurrence, and felt sorry
for it. Lord Rosebery accepted the
apology from the marquis on behalf OF
the secretary of war, and the house
adjourned.
Thomas Gibson BOwles, the tory
member who made special attack on
the governments fisheries bill, while
riding along Rotten Row, met Lord
Rosebery, to whom he remarked that
at last the seal fisheries bill had been
passed.
Yes" replied Rosebery, laughing,
land there's been a good deal OF fish
ing for seals of Office this week. "
In the house of lords assent was
given in the usual form to the seal fish
cries bill.

gars, and he will answer mo. What
has become of the 1900, 600 pounds
imprted?
1t probably goes without saying that
the Eastern, or Oriental countries, are
the hotbeds for the development of all
kinds of horrible, loathsome human
diseases, the cholera, smallpox, leprosy,
etc. In one instance, i'll 1892, the
steamer Palmas, which brought 1900
to 3, 900 bags of China sugar to Vic
toria, had smallpox on board, and
there were later cases of the same dis
ease among the stevedores who helped
to discharge the vessel. In 1894, the
great sugar refineries of Hong Kong
were compelled to cease operations for
lack of labor due to the plague, and
now we are told that the black plague
has broken out this spring.
In view of the introduction of guam
titles of Chinese sugars, it may be as
we'll that the public is informed on the
very highest possible authority, of the
danger that may be attendant upon
their use. Professor Cameron, public
analysist, Dublin,a gentleman who has
made it his special business to examine
all kinds of foreign sugars, refined and
others, says that certain kinds of them
should never be used. He states that
they contain great numbers of disgust
ing insects, which produce disgusting
disease. Their shape is very accurately
shown in the accompanying cut, which
is magnitied 200 diameters. Figure l
is the under side and figure the up
per. The professor description is as
follows:
THE insect (the acarus saccharl) is
formidably organized, exceedingly live
ly and decidedly ugly animal.
Probably enough has been said here
to awaken some interest i'll this subject,
and it is hoped readers of this article
will stipulate when they order sugar
that it is produced on the Pacific coast,
and show that they want sugars made
by home retineries, which employ
white labor only.
Statistics show that this country has
sent abroad in a single year SIG, 900,
900 for sugar alone, or per capita con-
sumption Of 81 pounds. OF this i'm
mensse consumption LOO, 635 tons
were foreign sugars, and yet it has
been asserted by one of the most prom
inent men connected with this business
that California alone, if the interest
were properly developed, would pro-
duce enough raw beet sugar to supply
the demand of the entire United States.
What boon it would be to Oregon il
we could locate in the central portion
of our territory refinery for making
beet-Sugar

The japanese Favor Resisting Rus
sia's Claims.
Port Townsend, June 29.-Accord-
ing to the story Of the Rev. l.. b. Wor-
cester, of Tabor, Ia, missionary who
has lust come over from Japan on the
steamer Chittagong, the Japanese are
actively drilling and preparing soldiers
for war. The sentiment for resisting
the claims made by Russia in compel
ling Japan to forego any jurisdiction
over Manchuria, was fast crystallzlng
among the middle classes. The Japan
ese, Mr.. Worcester says, to man, favor
war with Russia before being compelled
to surrender the fruits of her victories
over China. At Osaka, large garri-
cruited and actively drilled. Every
thing indicated that the japanese were
quickly preparing for war. When the
news came that three EuOpean powers
had united in the demand to Japan to
relinqish her claims to territory on the
mainland, the populace became fur
ious. The government realizing the
danger, quickly threw Gordon of po-
lice around all foreign legations, and
it was several days before the resentful
sentiment subsidized. Over in Corea,
the officials seemed to be trying to dis
card japanese influence and curry IA
vor with Russia japan, however,
threatened to administer strong mill
tary control, and a small-sized rebel
lion was choked off in it's infancy.

The principal sources of sugar supply
are the refneries situated i'll the differ
ent parts of the United States; but a
very large portion of the stock that Is
manufactured by these refineries is i'm
ported from Germany, the Sandwich
islands and the West Indies. Another
point of importance for refined sugars
is China, but the sugars from that
country are only used in any quantity
on the Pacific coast. Not less than
1900, 900 was sent to China for sugar
consumed on the Pacific cost during the
wear 1894, and the business threatens
to increase.
Now there are two very important
factors TO the development of this
Western country. The first is to pro-
duce these articles that are in demand,
and which can take the place of i'm
ported products for which our money
has to be sent away. The second is to
encourage the population in our imme-
diate section to consume those articles
that are produced as far as possible on
the coast.
There are several sugar factories in
California, doing large business. In
1894 they spent for labor alone $500,
600. While there is room for other
factories, there is plenty of sugar here
20 supply the demand; and the import
ing of China sugars has been carried
on simply because there is tendency
on the part of our own people, consum-
ers and merchants, to buy the cheapest
article that is offered, irrespective of
quality. We do not, think the con-
sumner is altogether to blame for this.
The retail grocer takes that sugar
which will afford him the greatest
profit Unless the consumers are
watchful, they cannot be sure that
they are not eating sugars that are
manufactured by the cheap coolie la
borer of the Orient, where hand labor,
though nasty, is so cheap that there is
no inducement to use machinery. Gus
tom house figures absolutely show that
there were imported into the Portland
and Port Townsend Oregon and Wash
ington) districts in 1894, 1000, 600
pounds of refined sugars from Hong
Kong, and all of this sugar was ham

NOT AN ACT OF PROVIDENCE
Powder Works Responsible for the Re
suits of an Explosion.

San Francisco, July 1.-The supreme
court has decided that a powder ex-
plosion is not an act of providence and
that the owners of such powder are re-
sponsible for any damage that may
result from an explosion. The estate
of Egbert Judson sued the Giant pow
der works for damages done to its prop
erty by an explosion at the works of
the powder company. The superior
court awarded the Judson estate SAL
900, and the case was appealed to the
supreme court. The only defense was
on plea of fatalism, it being main
tanned that powder explosions cannot
be prevented. The supreme court in
upholding the decision of the lower
court, says:
IAN explosion does not occur i'll such
mandatory if proper care is exercised.
The causes of the explosion being unex-
planned, it is probable that it was oc-
casioned by lack of proper care. "

BAPTIZED AND HANGED.
The End of One Of Kentucky's Most
Noted Desperadoes.

Jackson, Ky, July Tom Smith
paid the penalty for many crimes ON
the gallows here today. The drop fell
at LAO, and Smiths body fell six feet,
breaking his neck. He was pronounced
dead in ten minutes. Smith was sur
roundep ON the scatfold by his spiritual
advisers, and his sister, guile Smith
She kissed him goodbye, and begged
him to be prepared to meet her i'll
heaven. When she went down off the
scatfold Smith knelt down and made a
long prayer i'll loud voice He then
sang a hymn, prayed again, and the
rope was adjusted, and the black cap
drawn down. just before Chief Coombs
pulled the lever that released the trap,
Smith screamed:
Save me, God; save me.
Smith tried to evade the law at the
last moment. The hour for the execu-
ton was 1920, but before the hour ar
rived, Smith told the officers that while
he had been forgiven for crimes he had
committed in the French Eversole feud,
he had not been forgiven for killing
DR.. RAIDER. He, therefore, begged
more time to be given him, and the
time was postponed to | O'Clock. This
was a ruse to gain time and get respite
for Smith, who sent his brother Bill TO
the telegraph Office, and sent this dis
patch to Governor Brown, at Frank
fort, signing Toms name:
81 would like few days time, as
am an orphan boy and have no
friends. "
At IL O'Clock, the following reply
was received:
Il must decline to interfere.
Smith was baptized i'll the Kentucky
river this morning i'll the presence OF
an immense throng. People camped
along the river bank all night, and eX'
cursion trains ran into Jackson this
morning. The execution was public,
the scatfold having been erected III q
hollow near the Jail, and the view
from the surrounding hills was almost
unObstructed.
No mountain desperate has killed
more men in Kentucky than Ton
Smith. He murdered Joe Hurt IL
1888, the Combs brothers and Eversolt
in 1888, and Ambrose Amburg, Roby
Cornell, Jacob Mcknight and &c
Campbell in 1889. In September
1894, he resisted arrest in jackson
where today he paid the life penalty
Town Marshal Hurst and Deputy Sam
uel Mans attempted to arrest Smith
and number of his consorts, and /
fight followed in which Smith wa'
shot in the arm. After getting from
under the clutches of the law this time
he went to live with Mrs. Catherine
Quinn, woman of bad repute. A
Ter house DR.. RAIDER was killed ONT
night by Smith, for which he was tried
and convicted.
