SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 5.-The news
that Hawaii had virtually excluded the
Chinese is confirmed by Honolulu advices
brought by the steamer Australian. When
the annexation proposition was made to the
United States one of the principal clauses
was that Chinese immigration should cease
As start in this direction the Hawaiin
government has decided to issue no more
six months residence permits to Chinese
or to execute any bonds for contract la
borers to arrive. The planters do not fear
the labor problem. In fact they are al
ready solving it and that to the detriment
or the Japanese. Recently there have de-
Veloped plans for coionizing the American
plantation negro in Hawaii to gradually
replace the coolies in the cane and rice
fields and on the coffee and cotton Dlanta-
tons The German ship H. Il. Glade ar
rived in Honolulu on July 26. with nearly
Two hundred contract laborers.

treated the miners in the big Ayrshire and
carbon mines to come out, but their efforts
were In vain until this morning, when all
the men in both mines Joined the strikers.

secretary Kennedy's Advices.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 5.-State
Secretary Kennedy, of the Miners Fedora
ton, received the following this afternoon
from Vice President Llewelyn, who is in
charge of the marching movement on the
mines in the southern part of the State:
"HartwelI, Petersburg, Little's, Ayrshire
and Jackson all out. Boonville next" This
means that four hundred came out last
night and to-day from mines where never
before was there a strike. At Boonville,
Evansville and Newburg perhaps two hum
dred men are at work, but it is expected
Boonville will be out tomorrow and that
Evansville will join without being visited
by the crusaders.
National Secretary Pearce writes to Sec
retary Kennedy that G.. w. Webb, for
mer member of the national board, had
gone to Kentucky to assist President
Knight, of Indiana, in the effort to get the
one thousand st. Bernard miners out.
The actual suffering from hunger has be-
gun in this State. The relief funds are ex-
hausted. The local breweries and agents
of outside breweries are giving flour and
plain food products freely. Unlike in all
former strikes, they are not giving away
beer. Heretofore they sent wagonloads OF
kegs to mining camps, but this time they
have not and will not give a keg of beer.

Two Relief COMMITTEES.

John B. Conner, chairman of the miners

1t seems there are two parties of destitute
miners there who have organized separate
relief committees, and Mr.. Conner went
down to straighten the matter out and de-
termine which committee is entitled to the
relief funds appropriated to Linton. Since
the last report the committee has received

ARMED HOSTS OF EUROPE.
Ten Millions Of Men Maintained at 9
Yearly Cost Of over $500 900 900.

The armies Of the world cost a year.
" sum exceeding half a billion dollars.
This is the tribute in substance, aside
from the indirect cost.
Russia contributes most generously
to the demonstration. Her yearly ex-
penditure in behalf of her huge ma
chinery of guns and men is $1S6,0O0.-
600. France devotes $3.50, 000,0 600 Of her
annual revenue to military progression
and maintenance. Germany spends
$118.000, 600 each year in order to be in
readiness, perhaps ten years hence, Tor
war. England makes SS9,000,G00 Go for
supporting her troops. Italy and
Spain Willingly add S4S,00O,uV0 ana
$2S,000, goo respectively to the total.
Russia can command a total strength
for war purposes Of over 13,0O0,O0O
men. This immense army includes the
train men, who number 5,00O,OOu.
Nearly 100000 young men become
liable every year to military service.
Last year 80 per cent Of the registered
number were called for active duty.
The term of enlistment in the Russian
army is % years, the best part OF
mans life, although only five OF these
need be passed in active service.
The French republic can muster in
to service $4,000 men, made up Of the
young men of the nation, all of whom
are liable to military service, unless
exempted on account of physical dis
ability, their studies, and the necessity
OF supporting families.
The French time of enlistment is 20
years, from the time a man is 20 years
of age until he is 45. Three years of
this period are with the colors.
The total war strength of the army
of France amounts to 2,S50,000 men,
which could, if necessary, be increased
to 3,430,000.
In Germany the young men are
called upon for the burden of military
duty, and the army OF that nation
may call upon 437 600 men yearly from
that part of its population The total
war footing strength of Germany is
100000, with a possible strength OF
4,142,00O.
Coming to the army of the Austro
Hungarian empire, the young men, as
in nearly all European armies, are de-
pended upon to furnish 340,150 re-
cruits yearly, If necessary. The total
war strength of the army is f,749,000,
while the aggregate strength which
could be mustered in time of war is
2,581,000.
The Italian army requires its able
bodied young men to serve for 10
years, or from the age of 20 to 80, Of
which from two to five years must
be spent in active service. The full
strength of the army in time Of war
would be 3,155, 000.-Paris Herald.

SHE WAS A METHODIST.

The Old Lady in the Pew Reserved for
the President of the Colonial Danes.
Not long ago several societies of pa
triotic women held a melting over in
Brooklyn. Of course, being in Brook
lyn, the meeting was in church. That
goes without saying.
At the risk of causing twinge of
jealousy the committee ordered the
ushers to reserve the most command
ing pew for the use of the president of
the Colonial Danes No lesser light
must be allowed to beam from that par
ticular pew.
The Cay of the meeting came, but for
some reason or other the illustrious
president of the Colonial Danes did not.
Ever sc many women made for the re-
served pew, but were caught en-
route, a magic sentence was whispered
Ito them, and, with respectful Oh!
they retired into the shadows under
the balcony.
In the rush of the last few moments
the members of the committee were I'M
mindful of the door. solitary usher
guarded the entrance.
At this interesting juncture little
Did lady entered. She wore a rusty
black dress, an old-fashioned bonnet
md ill-fitting gloves. She had a gen.
eral air of decayed gentility, but she
had also a quick eye. The usher tried
to intercept her, but in vain. Another
Dne came to the rescue.
May we show you a seat, madam"
That pew is for the president of the
Colonial Danes
She waved them aside and proceeded
on her way. A third usher made the
same remark to the old lady, but she
vouchsafed no further notice of it, and
the puzzled ushers concluded that the
new arrival must know what she was
about; that she was in short the >ex-
pected president herself. Without fur
Their molestation, therefore, the little
old lady installed herself in solitary
grandeur in the conspicuous pew.
The old lady sat through the meeting
with an apparently somnolent enjoy
ment. She dozed fitfully, occasionally
she manifested some wonder and puZ-
zled curiosity, but on the whole she
took it calmly. When the affair was
over she shook out her rusty gown
picked up her shopping bag and pre-
pared to depart, but she was intercepted
before she was fairly in the aisle.

NAL Dames?" said one of the patriotic
women by way of opening the CONVEX
