HER PURSE WAS STOLEN.
Two Strange Young Men Arrested
on Suspicion,


When a wom&n screamed for help because
her purse had been snatched from her hand
Saturday night, on Seventh street, near
u, northwest Policeman Miller started in
the direction Of the cry and found two
young men who seemed desirOuS OF getting
away. At the corner OF Ninth street
and Pennsylvania avenue the policeman
overlook the fellows after an exciting chase.
When he returned to the scene Of the rob
berry tile woman could not be found, and
those who hed seen her and heard her
cries were unable to tell what had become
of her.
The prisoners, however, acted so sus-
picoGsly that Policeman Miller took them
to No. / station, and while on the way
there one Of them attempted to throw
away small chdmois purse. He was de.
tccted in the act and the pock Sc
cured by the policeman.
AT the station they gave their names as
John l.. Stewart, eighteen years old, and
Joseph Carey, twenty years old, and said
that they had recently come from Chicago
and weIe mere in search OF work.
Both had the appearance of tramps and
were locked up. Stewart, in whose pos
session the purse was found, could not
give a good account of how he came i5y
it, and it was kept as evidence against
him.

Eome Friday.
Willie F. FAINT, the ten-year-old son of
Mrs. Marina Fant, of No 4os East Capitol
street, has been missing from his home
since Friday last and his absence is occa-
si0ing his friends much uneasiness. He
was "A bright little fellow and no reason is
apparent FOR his having left his home
The last seen Of him by his relatives on
Friday was when dressed in his pretty
blue sailor suit with big, wide collar,
he went away to school.
Some playmates saw him later in the
day, bIt they were unable to say where
he went after that. There is no reason
to believe that the child has been kid
naped. bat his continued absence has
so alarmed hiS friends that yesterday
morning they reported the matter to the
police, and asked for aid in locating the
missing lad. A description of the boy and
the clothing he Wore when he left home
was teiepEoned to all the stations, with
the request that diligent search be made

this assembly of island notables sue
ceeds in picking a quarrel with Japan,
would II be worth the while of either
Great Britain or the United States to
take up the cudgels on their behalf?
For II stands to reason that the ISL
and Government could not exist day
II Japan made cause of quarrel with il.
The United States would not wish to
see Hawaii become q colony of Japan.
nor probably would Great Britain care
to have the Japanese established in the
Pacific in n position of such strategicaI
importance; but it is not at all impos-
sible that such fate may befalI the
Islands if their Government does not
go warily.
The latter have apparently taken
alarm at the increasing numbers OF
the Japanese immigrants. and have
rather tactlessly sought. by the first
means to hand, to impose check on
their influx into the Islands The only
result has been to provoke an issue;
the Tokyo Government are now alive
to the fact that Japanese are unweI-
come in Hawaii, and they have strong
ly protested against this new method
of dealing with unwished-for immi-
grants. The United States Govern
ment are reported to be sending
man-of-war to Honolulu but it is I'M
likely that they would do more than
give the Hawaiian Republic moral
support if it came to an open rupture
with Japan. The latter meantime will
not go out of her way to raise a quar-
rel, but she will be sure to keep a
sharp lookout on the actions of the
Hawaiian Government in future. Nor
is it likely that Japan will consent to
abandon the Islands as field for i'm
migration because her people are not
acceptable to the newly-fiedged Re
public
There are not so many outlets for
Japanese surplus labor that the Tokyo
Government can afford 10 relinquish
one where the conditions are so emf
nently favorable not alone for their
remuneratiye employment, but, also,
for their efficient protection Had the
Japanese only discovered this field
some 20 years earlier, there is little
doubt but that the Islands would have
in good time fallen under their do
minion. Matters are complicated now
by the presence of a large Chinese eIe-
ment, while the ruling element is eau
casian and the United States takes
them under the Stars and Stripes. I'm
less however, the American Republic
sees fit to abandon it's traditional pol
icy and incorporate Hawaii into the
United States, the chances are still not
so very remote that this beautiful
group will one day become portion
of the "Mikados Empire"

The Japan Mail of May 21st says:
Some 500 Japanese Iaborers, who
reached Honolulu in the Kinai, appear
to have been turned back on the same
pretext as that alleged in the case of
the immigrants previously rejected,
namely that, although they possessed
the $50 prescribed by law, they could
not be regarded as free laborers,"
since they were under contract to an
emigration agency, and being contract
labOrers, they should have obtained
the previous sanction of the Hawaiian
authorities, a preliminary not observed
by them. IT is preteXt almost deserv-
ing the epithet farcical Originally in
deed. it may have been advanced in
good faith, but that the Hawaiian Gov
eminent repeated il after it's utter un-
tenabiIity had been officially demon
strated, indicates a determination to
keep out the Japanese at all hazards
None of the rejected immigrants
were contract laborers in the sense of
the Hawaiian laws. contract labor

CHIEF JUSTICE JUDD.
Cordial Treatment By Washing.

tonians During His Visit There.
The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Independent, in the is
sue of May Is, writes as follows:
The Chief Justice of Hawaii and Mrs
Judd spent last week in Washington
! the guests of Mr.. and Mrs John w
| Foster Mr. Judd is son of the we'll
known missionary who went cut to the
Hawaiian Islands in 1920, and broth
er of Mrs. Carter, wife of the late Min
lister of Hawaii at Washington.
Though it is seventeen years since
their last visit to this country, they
found many old friends in Washington
delighted to see them; and the charm
ing personality of both added to the
circle many new friends. They were
entertained at dinners and receptions.
and there was much regret that their
visit could not be extended another
week, especially among naval officers
who have been to Hawaii and there
enjoyed the gracious hospitality of the
Judd mansion, and who would have
been glad to acknowledge the courtesy
in their Washington homes had there
been time
AS it was. Admiral and Mrs Walk
er gave a dinner in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Judd; and after the dinner they
went to the White House and had an
hours visit with the President and
Mrs. Mckinley
They will visit relatives in New Eng
land, and then go to the commence
nent at Yale College, where their two
SONS will be graduated and return with
their parents to Hawaii. Chief Justice
Judd talked freely of Hawaiian af-
fairs. and declared the Republic to be
firmly founded and prosperous. He
did not regard the statements made
from time to time by Julius Palmer,
eX-QUeen LiliuOkalani's secretary, as
important enough 10 warrant contra
dictiOn, believing the facts to be too
we'll understood by the American peO-
pie. It will be remembered that Chief
Justice Judd is one of the four men
whom the eX-Queen refused to pardon,
even on President Cleveland's offer to
restore her throne.
All but four of the *'Dole Govern
ment" she desired to have banished.
But Chief Justice Judd, ex-Minister
ThurstOn and two others she declared
must be beheaded. Of course, her de-
cision settled the restoration business
with Mr.. Cleveland, who at once with
drew his offers of assistance. The
presence of the ex-Queen in Washing
ton at this time is regarded as a pro-
test on her part against annexation.
At the same time should annexation
be assured, the eX-Queen would be
where she could avail herself of the
opportunity to treat for pension or
life annuity.
It need hardly be said that the ex-
Queen and Chief Justice and Mrs
Judd exchanged no calls last week. BY
a strange coincidence. also. on the day

CANADA NOT HOSTILE.
SIR Donald smith Talks on the
Canadian Tariff

Canadian Tariff
LONDON, May u. - Sir Donald
Smith, the Canadian High Commits
sioner. in an interview with a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press to-
day. said he was hopeful that fast
steamships between Canada and Great
Britain would be running within two
years.
In regard to the tariff propositions
submitted to the Parliament at Ottawa,
Sir Donald Smith said that it was
nothing but the accentUatiOn of Can
ada's attachment to Great Britain,
with which country she desires the
closest possible commercial relations.
Certainly. he added, it was prompted
by no feeling of hostility to the United
States, with which country Canada is
eager for real reciprocity.

importers Have Advanced Prices Five
Cents a Pound.
New York, May 13.-The tea i'm
porters have not waited the passage of
the tariff bill with its proposed duty of
10 cents pound upon that commodity,
but have advanced all grades of tea from
8 to cents pound.
The condition of the market, which
was very sluggish week ago, has been
changed into one of great activity.
Spectators have not been slow to take
advantage of the situation, and at the
rate prices are being pushed up whole
sale merchants will find themselves
compelled to pay the full amount OF
the proposed duty in the new tariff bill,
before the measure becomes law.
The orders received at Yokohama and
other Japanese ports has caused an i'm
mediate advance there. This time of
the year, importers say. happens to be
between seasons, and the quantity of
tea that can be bought abroad is said to
be small. Had the proposed action OF
congress been taken a month or two
later, when the bulk of the crop comes
forward, it would have been possible for
importers to bring in sufficient to last
until 1900. when, under the bill, tea
will be free. Should the bill be de-
layed by long debate in the senate, this
scheme may yet be carried out to some
extent, and thus defeat the object which
the tariff makers had in view - the
obtaining Of $40, 900, 600 additional
revenue.

Minne,ota Forest Fires.

White Earth, Mimi, May a.
Heavy forest fires are raging in the
pine belt about 100 miles east OF the
agency, and considerable damage is be-
ing done to the timber. A party OF
men was sent from here to save the
government saw mill twenty miles east
of here. They have returned, and re-
port that the country is all on fire, and
that the government saw, shingle and
planning mills were destroyed by fire,
despite all efforts to save the property.
The men narrowly escaped with
their lives. The fire cut them OF from
their horses and they were compelled
to run about eight miles to lake to
save their lives. A number OF lumber
camps were also burned, with outfits,
sleiehs, etc. The Indians sugar camps
are burned. A heavy wind is prevail
ing, and if a rainfall does not come
soon the whole country will be on fire.

Washington, May 1.-The necessary
action for settling the vexatious dis
pute over the eastern boundary line Of
the Southern Ute Indian reservation in
Colorado was taken today when Samuel
S. Gannett, of Maine, a topographer in

to locate the intersection of the 10th
meridian with the new Mexican-Colo-

begin Immediately and upon its early
completion the exact location will be
proclaimed. The Utes claim the line
is too far west. The surplus OF una
lottted lands on that part OF the reser-
walton lying east of range IA have been
held up from the opening to settlement
pending the location for some time.

VOTED TO NoNcoNcuR.
The House Opposed to Revoking the
Forestry Order.


Washington, May. 13.-Considera-
tion Of the senate amendments to the
sundry civil Appropriation bill was fin
ished by the house today and the bill
sent to conference. President Cleve-
lands MISREPRESENTATION order was the
subject of much debate, and the house
voted not to concur in the senate amend
ment to annul the order, with the un-
derstanding that the conferees should
arrange an amendment which would
have the same effect.
The debate on this subject followed
closely the lines of that of yesterday.
1t was participated In almost exclusive
ly by Western members, who pointed
out the injury to present settlers that
would result if President Cleveland 8
order should become operative. Several
amendments were offered, but with
drawn. Short speeches criticising Pres
ident Cleveland's order were made by
Underwood, Knowles, Lacey, Brucker,
Devries, Ellis, Bailey and Hart.
Lacey remarked that Hartman
assumed that President Mckinley
would repeal the mistakes of President
Cleveland.
II do not think there is any man on
earth such blunderhead that he could
correct thousandth part Of the mis-
takes made by President Cleveland, :"
retorted Hartman. II did not support
President Mckinley. but, thank God,
he is an American president. the first
we have had in four years."
Lacey withdrew the amendment. pro-
posed by him yesterday. Other pend
ing amendments were withdrawn, and
the house voted 100 to 80 to nonconcur
in the senate amendment, with the un-
derstanding that instructions be made
to the oonferees later.
The house voted not to concur in the
amendments appropriating $1,000 for
the continuation by the secretary of
war of an investigation of the beet
sugar industry, and another requiring
the secretary of war to appoint a super
intendent Of the traffic through the
locks of the Monongahela river as soon
as the government comes into possession
of the works Of the Monongahela Navi-
CATION Company.
Lewis made plea for the senate
amendment for $40, 900 for survey OF
the improvements proposed from Sal
mon bay to Smiths cove, explaining
that warships might be anchored in
Lakes Union and Washington when the
project was completed. The house
voted to nOncOncur.

ELECTRICITY ON RAILROADS
A Test Demonstrates It's Possibf1itiea
~ . Motive Power.

A Test Demonstrates It's Possibilities
~ . Motive Power.
New Haven, May 1S.-An experiment
was made yesterday between Hartford
and New Britain on the New England
road, that. according to experts, will
revolutionize the motive power in rail-
reading. It was an official test OF the
third rail electric system, and was the
first application Of this method OF
using electricity instead Of steam for
long and heavy haul.
A run Of ten miles was made in 1871
minutes, and with less jar than il ex-
perienced in an ordinary passenger rail-
road car.
Briefly, this test means the attain
ment Of speed of sixty to seventy five
miles an hour by using electricity as
the motive power. Financially it
means getting one horsepower out OF
two tons of coal. With q steam engine
it takes from seven to eight tons Of coal
to get one horsepower.
