to see the crowd scatter. The bees
would settle on passengers in the open
cars as they stopped just before cross

be panic. Women on bicycles ran
into the cloud OF insects before they
were aware of their danger, and
screeching at every revolution, they
scorched down the street. frantic with
fear. just because few dozen harm

bees which he has no use for. but was
forced to take home with him because
they took a fancy to his wagon and
would not leave 1t. A young man who
said he knew all about bees attempted
to shovel the insects into box with q
paper fan. They offered no resistance,
but would not stay in the box. and in
the end the expressman had to drive
home with halo of bees encircling his
head and the wagon bed half full of
bees.

the labor question here is simple one. In
California We had TO pass twenty-one laws be-
Iore we could eradicate the many evils that
had crept into our system there. There are
none of those bad features here. There is no

considered are the amount OF pay and the
ability OF the laborer to do the work. The EN-.

beyond the experimental period, and within
the next Jew years there will be from 5000 to
10000 acres Of land producing coffee.
There is practically no labor to handle such
crop, nor can there be under the present

months, at the most, and during that period
the ratio of labor necessary to handle the crop
must be increased from to to 1. III whites

League was held IN Albert Hall to-day.
The hall was packed by mem bers, COM
prising great rum Der of the most dis
tinguished statesmen and politicians, the
best-known clergy and most prominent
ladies in England. Salisbury addressed
the meeting and said the Treaty of Paris
engaged each of the six powers signatory
thereto to respect the integrity of Turkey.
The English, he said, were not losing any
thing by adhering to the Treaty of Paris.
The fact was the six powers were bound
together by en- agreement which forced
them into q federation, the object OF
which was to prevent a European war.
Keeping Greece and Turkey from conflict
was OF course desirable, but secondary
matter. The concert of the powers had
not failed in its primary object, for he
hoped all danger of general European
war had passed away.
ROME, ITALY, May 6-An Athens dis

socialist leader who went to Greece with
number of voluE teers to fight against the

the charge of instisating the recent public

the police and forced them to reiinqu;sh

Edhem Pasha telegraphs, in reference to
the fighting at Pharsala, that the Greeks
were gradually driven from all their posi-
tions until, after fifteen hours hard fight
ing, the Turks established the n selves in
front and in the rear of Pharsala, besides
destroying the railway at Volo.
In u later dispatch Edhem Pasha added
the Turks had occupied Pharsala
and the Greek intrenchments. The
Greeks, he said, were hurriedly retreating
to Domokn, closely pressed by the cavalry
ATHENS. GREECE, May 6.-The Greek
army has taken a position at Dom oko,

HONOLULU, HAWAII, April 29.-Yes-
terday was the twelfth day since the last
of the six cases of smallpox among the
Japanese immigrants at the quarantine
station broke out, and 1t was expected
that further danger was over. Another
mild case was reported early yesterday
morning, which means eighteen addi-
tional days quarantine for 139 Japanese.
The 55i Chinese contract laborers brought
on the Doric are quarantined in another
part of the island. They will be released
when their eighteen days from Yokohama
are up, as they were all vacciaated and
quarantined before embarking at Hong

Castle and the other officials who were
exposed to smallpox while examining the
status of the immigrants previous to their
landing from the Kinal-maru, were re-
leased from quarantine on the 9th, and
are now at their desks making up for lost
time.
BY the Doric the Japanese Minister re-
ceived his creden tials from the Emperor,
and he was given an audience by Presi-
dent Dole on the day following. The pro-
ceedings were quite imposing. Minister
Shimamura, Respondent in a gorgeous
uniform, attended by Mr.. Hirai, Secretary
of Legation, went in a carriage to the ex-
ecutive building. He was received with
the usual military guard of honor.
Minister Shimamura received several
very important dispatches together with
his credentials, the contents of which he
is guarding with jealous care. Inter-
viewed as to their nature he would only
say:
II am convinced that only the free i'm.
migration TO these islands has been
temporarily stopped by my Government.
There can be no question over the right of
the japanese contract laborers consigned
to responsible parties to land on Hawaii,
and believe that my Government realizes
this"
About the coming Of one or two Japan

Shimamura stated that he knew nothing.

The Athens correspondents of the STAN

saying the powers have instructed their
=, ENJOYS to intervene spontaneously be-
tween Turkey and Greece. 1t seems this
decision was taken owing to Greece s
steady refusal 10 ask media ton. The
Austrian and German Ministers received
late tonight Instructions of the same

their colleagues.

The Telegraph's correspondent gives as
conditions of the powers the evacuation
of Thessaly by the Turks, Crete by the
Greeks and restoration OF status quo

cerned.
Concerning these reports that the
powers have interviewed to put a stop to
the war, the Suns correspondent was
officially informed at the Foreign Office
at o'clock this afternoon that the
powers had arrived at no such decision.
