MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Rev. III. w. Peck breaches to the
Grand Army Veterans.


The Methodist Church was
filled Sunday evening by the
friends of the Grand Army Post,
who gathered to listen to the Me
mortal sermon delivered by Rev.
H. w. Peck.
The church was appropriately
decorated with large American
and Hawaiian flags, the stars and
stripes occupying a prominent Pc,
sition on the pulpit. The Geo.
w. De Long Post marched to the
church with it's usual number and
occupied seats in the body of the
church. Mr.. Peck's sermon was
to the occasion. An
abstract will be published in
Tuesdays issue.
The veterans expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the
manner in which they were re-
ceived by the church and regret
ted the absence of the Sons of
Veterans.

OPENING OF THE CIRCUS.
Tent Crowded to Suffocation.
Good Show.


The Price-Burns-G Gonzales cOmbina-
ton opened their new season at the tent
on Beretania and PunchbowI streets
Saturday night TO a large audience
much larger, indeed, than the capacity
of the tent would comfortably allow
The performance was mixture OF
circus and variety and was satisfactory
beyond measure to the audience. The
new members of the company are CAPT
tai entertainers and kept the audience
in roars Of laughter. The Gonzales sis
tiers, contortionists and dancers, are ex-
cepuonauy good, ana if the admission
was twice as much their act would be
worth it. Nora Martin, Miss Kingsley
and Bob Scott were good in songs and
dances, and the little son of Mr.. Con
zales showed fine elocutionary powers.
but his act is out of place il a circus.
The only unpleasant feature of the
evening was the bad management in
seating the crowd. The ushers either
lost their heads or did not understand
heir business; holders of reserved seats
arrived at the tent only TO find them
occupied by men and women who re-
fused to give them up. This Will be |
corrected tonight.

Dan Stuart ana his colleagues listened
to this talk, but said never word. The
proposed conference of the welter ana
feather weights and bantams also failed to

would be waived.
Governor Ahuamada sent his secretary
over from Juarez this morning to procure
a supply of the latest American papers
published East of Kansas City. To rep
resentative of The United Press the Gov

a certainty abandoned their plans and
Mexican soil was free from their invasion.
Dan Stuart was pressed again to-day by

courage, to give them a candid opinion
upon which they might determine whether
to go home at once or wait a while longer.

promoter. Said he:

while around the left eye there are several
incrustations. On the whole, however the
improvement has been more rapid than
the physician expected.

Buck Connolly says he will deposit $4,000
to be forfeited if Maher does not enter the

Gorernor +hmansada a Spectator at a
Siek~ning Exhibition.
Ell PASO, TEX, Feb. 16.-The buli-iehts
at Juarez this afternoon attracted a crowd
OF 40o0 two-thiros men and women from
the American side. 1t was a brutal and
disgusting exhibition. The first two bulls
looked more like milch COWS and were as
harmless as septuagenarian cats. The
prodding OF the banderilleros, instead of
working them into a frenzy only resulted
in their getting down on their launches
and believing piteously, as though they
could not understand what was required
of them or why they should thus be tor
tured.
The matadors also were mere noyices,
and one of them broke three spears in one
of the helpless animals before giving it its
coup. The remaining two bulls put up
lively fight, with the result that two plea
dors were severely injured and one horse
killed
Governor Ahuamada with his staff, Col
lector Bauche and the entire force of Chi
huahua State officials, was present. Lieu
tenant-GoveTnor Cortes presided over the
fight. The sight of horse whose abdomen
had been ripped open by bulls horn was

theater.
At the close of the fights Fitzsimmons

Hatcait Ocerrnn By Merchants and
Trndesmen FIR om the Orient.
HONOLULU, HAWAII, Feb. 1.-The
new Japanese Consul and Diplomatic
Agent, Mr.. Shimamura. left for the island
of Hawaii to-day to personally examine
into the condition of the Japanese laborers
on the sugar plantations of that island.
Mr.. Shimamura has been working hard
since his arrival to familiarize himself
with the needs of the japanese colony in
these islands, and there is little doubt but
that the Government will soon hear from
him on several matters pertaining to the
welfare of his countrymen.
Leaders of the different Japanese socie-
ties are already discussing and drafting
petitions to the coming Legislature for the
passage of bills enhancing their business
opportunities here. The principal aim of
these discussions and petitions is the pac-
ing of Japan on a parity with the United
States in regard to the importation of ex-
clusively manufactured japanese goods
which do not enter into competition with
those of the United States. Local Japan
ese merchants want all these goods ad-
mitted duty free into the Hawaiian repub-
lie.
Another matter which will have to be
considered by the Legislature is the re-
quest of numerous Japanese for the is
suance to them of letters of denization.
Thus far the Hawaiian Government has
denied these letters to Japanese, or rather
has dallied with the matter without Civ
ing decisive answer. This is probably
the entering wedge in a further emand
for suffrage, which the japanese have
always claimed under the 'fayored
nations" clause of existing treaties.
Honolulu's white merchants are begin
ming to feel the encroachments of the
Japanese in various lines of business to
an alarming extent, but they seem to be
powerless to prevent the constantly in
creasing number of stores and consequent
competition. Three years ago the Jap
anese stores in the city could be counted
on the fingers of one hand. To-day there
are over hundred of them. japanese
stores of all Kinds are to be found in every
block there are over $50 barbershops and
bathhouses run by Japanese. They have
even started blacksmith and harness
stores. japanese carpenters, painters
and paperhangers nderbid white con-
tractors 33 per cent, and the japanese
quar- ter of Honolulu is daily becoming
more and more Orientalized.

Scientists Not Yet Prepared to
Believe That the Pole Has
Been Reached.
THE OPINION IN WASHINGTON.
Rumor of Nansen's Success Believed to
Have Been Started Through
Some Misunderstanding.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. IA special
dispatch to the Journal from Christiania
says in regard to DR.. Nansen's reported
discovery of the north pole:
'The news, though exceedingly vague,
is believed by some authorities to have
some foundation; others are in doubt, be-
cause of the source from which it origi-
mates. | have not the least conception of
where the Fran is now, or when it may be
expected. EVA NANsEN."
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 16.-In-
credulity still reigns supreme among the
scientists in Washington best qualified to
form an opinion on the subject as to the
reported return of Nansen. the Norwegian
Arctic explorer, and the still more re-
narkable story, without details, of his
having drifted to the north pole and
drifted back again. DR.. William H. Dali,
one of the most experienced psychologists
Of the United States Geographical Survey,
who has made Arctic matters his particu-
lar study, to-day said:
IAN examination of the kilograms re-
ceived shows that the only facts in our
possession are that rumor has been
received from Yakutsk to the effect that
Nansen is on his way from the polar sea.
The telegram from Archangel is probably
the result of the receipt there of the same
rumor from Russian sources. Since no
message from Nansen himself is received
and no statement of his whereabouts it
seems probable that the rumor is due to a
misunderstanding of some expression of
his anticipated arrival by persons in
| Northern Siberia, who ha1 been notified
to be on the lookout for Nansen's party.
| at is quite generally understood among
Arctic experts that the alleged discovery
of Jeanette relics on the coast of Green
land was due to foolish prank of some
| persons connected with the naval vessel
which visited Greenland the season of
| their discovery and that the guilty parties,
after finding their hoax taken seriously
were afraid to confess the truth. Conse-
quently the basis of Nansen's theories, so
far as it was formed by these fictitious
relics, is of little weight.
THAT drift from the Bering Strait re-
gion might, in the course of years, find
its way out of the passage been Iceland
| and Greenland is entirely possible, as
the incident of the Alaskan thrown ng
stick proves; but the particular instance
is due to the special circumstances of the
case-temporary winds, currents, etc.-in
ali probability, and there is as yet no evil
dence of any permanent system of drift.
"If such a system existed it would be
incomprehensible why nothing has ever
been found of the multitude of wrecks
which have been known to drift into the
| polar basin from the Bering Strait region,
and OF which nothing has ever turned up"

HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. Is. = Captain
General Weyler tonight issued series of
proclamations, in which he still further
defines mis- proposed policy toward the in
surgents and their sympathizers. The first
proclamation reads as follows:
Article l. All inhabitants of the district of
Sancti Spiritus and the provinces OF Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba will have to
concentrate IA places which are the headqu uar-
ters of q division, brigade, column or a
troop. and viii have to be provided with docu-
mentary proof OF identity within eight DAYS of
the publication of this proclamation in the
municipalities.
Article 2. To travel in the country in the
radius covered by the columns in operation It
is absolutely indispensable to have a pass from
the Mayor. military commandants or chiefs of
detachments.
Article 3. All owners of commercial estab-
lishments in the country districts will vacate
them, and the chiefs of columns will take such
measures as the success of their operations
dictates regarding such places which, while
useless for the country's wealth, serve the
enemy as hiding places in the woods and in
the interior.
