TOO MANY JAPANESE.
MIR. Hatch Fears They VIII Overry
the Hawaiian islands

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. PIE. M Hatch,
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Hawaiian
republic, sailed for Honolulu to-day. Mr..
Hatch is rushing home to lend his assist
ance to his government. He deplores the
condition of affairs at Honolulu and de-
clares that Hawaii has many important
questions to dead with in its history
incidentally it was learned from friends
of the minister that the japanese question
is becoming serious and that the
provisional government has not only mad
the royalists to deal with but it has had
to use force to suppress an uprising OF
Japanese laborerS on the plantations of
Eva. Eva is a twenty thousand acre grant
situated fifteen miles back of Honolulu.
Several days before the revolt headed by
Wilcox two hundred Japanese on the plan
seer and nearly killed him. Several white
men were pretty badly beaten by the riot
ers and the police had to be called on for
protection. 1.-The Japanese, fear will over
run the country" said the minister Every

Regarding the rebellion. / think it will be
short-lived. The provisional government is
strong enough to cope with malcontents
and expect to find the whites in complete
control on my arrival at Honolulu. Wilcox

1t is true that a great many of the royalists
are English subjects This may lead to
complications, but ! am convinced that
Englishmen are sensible enough to know
that there are other courses to pursue

WINDY CITY PERILs
PEOPLE HURT BY FALL OF sCAF-
FOLDING FROM A ..SKY SCRAPER-"
Timbers Hurled to the Street on the
Heads of LuckIess Pedestrians
Wall Blown Down by Gale.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Several people were
badly injured to-day by the falling of the
scaffolding of the new Fort Dearborn build
ing at Clark and Monroe streets. The
heavy timbers were blown from position,
and, falling fourteen stories, struck a num-
Der of men. The most seriously injured
are:
j. E. BURKE, ticket broker.
II. H. IRWIN, clerk, dangerously in
&C GEORGE r Boyer, stenographer. head
A. J. DONALDSON. clerk. shoulder
FRANK WOODWARD. teamster, arm
WILLIAM LUCIUS printer, scalp wound.
H. S. FISHER, badly bused.
A half dozen others were slightly injured
by flying timbers, but none seriously.
The Fort Dearborn building, which is
nearing completion, is one of the most
elaborate of the "sky-scraper'' office build
ings in the city. Around the two top stories
on the scaffolding, extending several feet
from the walls, had been built heavy
casing for the protection of the workmen.
The high wind had loosened many of the
heavy planks, which had been falling at
intervals since the early morning. Several
people had been slightly injured and the
police had cleared the sidewalk beneath the
dangerous structure. Workmen were sent
blast of wind caught large portion of the
casing and tore 1t from it's fastenings. The
heavy timbers in falling sailed across the
street and fell the east sidewalk of
Clark street. The crowds, hearing the
crash broke wildly in all directions and
many reached places of safety before the
timbers fell. Four windows were smashed
in and much damage was done to neigh
boring property. Ambulances were hur-
riedly called and the nearby drug stores
were soon crowded with people who had
been slightly bruised by falling timbers or
cut by flying glass. 1t at first thought
that several people had been killed, but
it was found later that none but Burke, and
possibly Irwin, was fatally hurt. The
street was crowded at the time Of the
accident and many more fatalities would
have undoubtedly resulted had not the
great height from which the casing fell
given many of the passers by time to
escape.
The gale which crushed the scaffoding
on the Fort Dearborn caused damage in
many other places in the city. The west
son street was blown in and two workmen
narrowly escaped death. The men were at
work in the back of the building, which
the wall fell, and. although bruised by
flying bricks and timbers escaped serious
injury.
During the afternoon the gale seemed
to increase in violence and falling signs

Dill Becomes a Law.
Senator Boords bill, introduced in the
Senate yesterday, amending the law for the
regulation of building and loan associa-
tons. is an important measure. 1t provides
that no part Of the receipts that arise from
the payment of initiation fees dues by
subscribers shall be paid out as expenses,
but that the expenses shall be paid out of
the earnings. There is manifest DISPOSE
ton on the part of this Legislature to over
haul the concerns in this State which, in
corporated under the name of building and
loan associations. have developed into saw
ings banks with all the attributes of such
institutions. The provision in the law
which exempts from taxation paid-up
shares, has led to the investment of mil
lions of dollars in paid-up certificates where
1t is beyond the reach of the assessor.
There are also grave charges to the eff
feet that the enormous salaries paid to the
officers of some of these institutions will
preclude the possibility Of their paying cut
within the limit given in the prospectases.
The House committee on corporations, Which
has several building and loan bills before
It, has sent notice to the officials of the
several national building and loan asso-
Citations that it will give them hearing
