of arbitration, but would decline to submit
the questions of the treaty of 1871 or the
right claimed by Hawaii to ascertain If the
immigrants we're bona fde possessors of
the money they displayed and claimed to
own when they reached Hawaii to consid-
Grafton by arbitration. The Japanese min
lister proposed the King of Belgium as ar
bitrator and requested Minister Cooper to
submit the points of difference for settle
ment without delay.
1t is believed that Minister Cooper has
replied to this letter, stating explicitly
that while Japan has professed willing
ness TO submit the controversy to arbitra-
ton. that she has declined to allow the
only points at issue to be considered, and
requests the japanese minister to indicate
what other questions the countries are at
variance on, and stating that the subnis-
sion OF the matter according to Japans
point of view would merely make the ar
bitrator who might be selected a master
IN chancery to determine the amount of
the damages due to Japan, because if the
question of the treaty of 1871 and the

PROBABLY RATIFIED
MIR. Thurston Believes the Hawaiian
Senate Has Accepted Annexation.
TIE BODY UNANIMOUS FOR IT
The Tenor of Minister Cooper's
Reply to Japan.
NO POINTS TO ARBITRATE

The ratification of the treaty anne1ing
the Hawaiian Islands to the United States
has been accomplished by this time by the
senate of the Hawaiian rational legisa
ture, Mr.. Lorin NJ. Thurston, the charge
d afaires of Hawaii to this country, being
convinced that such is the case because the
senate was unanimously pledged to annex
alton, and it assembled September 8. 1t
will be remembered that just before ad-
jOurnment last year the Hawaiian legisla-
ture PASSED joint resolution declaring
that the best interests of the islands &C.
manded annexation to this country. The
complexion of the body has not changed
since then, and it is almost certain that
the treaty has been ratified by unani-
nous vote.
All that remains to be done now to make
annexation an accomplished fact Is ratjfi-
cation of the treaty by the United States
Senate, and 1t is confidently believed that
the positive action of the Hawaiian senate
which either has been or certainly Will b.;
taken. Will have effect on some of the Unit
ed States senators who have hitherto been
uncertain about how to vote on the uuas-

Importance. One related to the treaty of

Japan of the right of Hawaii to investigate

tered Into a convention by which the latter
country was given the right to govern i'm
migration to its shores.
Then laws were adopted somewhat SINH

Several Arrests Made.

P1TTSBURG. Pa, September 13.-Emma
Haas, the miners Joan of Arc. and three
other women, were arrested for marching
at Plum Creek this morning by she,5G's
deputies. The attempt ID make the arrests
precipitated an incipient riot, in which the
deputies Jared badly. No one was seriously
hurt, but scarcely deputy escaped a club
hurt, and Superintendent Sam De Armitt
was cut on the hand. Two of the women
arrested carried babies.
The riot was the result of a carefully
planned attempt TO prevent the men at
work at Plum Creek from entering the
mines There were twenty-five women and
about fifty strikers concerned in it.
Women to March I'm Front.
The plan was to have the women march
in front with their babies with the design
OF working on the sentiments of the men
who would be goirg to work and to act
as shield for the rest of the party. The
women were to crowd around each man as
he attempted to go into the mines. take
ms cinner bucket from him and then throw
it into the ditch
About daylight the party started ont
headed by Emma Haas. Those not having
a baby carried pick handle or a club az
some sort On the Murraysville road they
encountered posse CT deputies and vera
ordered back TO the camp No attention
was paid to the order. and the party tried
TO force their way through the lines of
deputies. A scuffle followed, and Emma
Haas and three other women who were in
the lead We're arrested.
Wild scenes Ensued.
A scene OF wild excitement then ensued.
The moment deputy laid hands on a
woman he was surrounded by others way
ing clubs in the air and using them on the
head OF deputy when the opportunity
offered. Deputy Walker was severely club
bed and S. c. De Armitt was cut in the
hand. He says he was attacked by a wo-
man with knife. The deputies finally
got their prisoners into the company sta

where they were lodged in the county iail
The names Of the women arrested were:
Emma Haas Mrs. John Kosar. Mrs.
Frank Haas and Mrs. Esner.
Mrs. Kosar and Mrs. Eisner had their
babies with them.
After the removal of the prisoners from
Plum Creek the excitement subsiled, AMI
the women and strikers returned TO camp.
Women Hard TO Arrest.
The reason more of the women were not
arrested was that four or five deputies
were required to hold one of them. and the
force was not large enough to take charge
OF the crowd.

Women's Enlarged Sph ere of Labor

Women's Enlarged Sphere of Labor.
1t is evident that women are pressing
forward more and more into profess
s1ons and positions formerly held ex-
clusively by men. This, in our opinion,
Is an excellent sign, although in some
branches Of labor there is reason to
regret it. What women more particu-
larly require is training from an ear
ly age which will enable them to take
their own part in the battle Of life when
through the death of those on whom
they were dependent, or through mis-
fortune, it becomes incumbent upon
them to provide for themselves. This
early training is matter which does
not appear to receive the attention and
consideration that it ought, for how
many women are there who can, for
example, compute interest intelligently
and accurately? How many are there
who are even capable of managing
their own affairs, or their own proper
ty, If they have any, with anything
like business capacity? The education
of woman is not complete unless sue
has as a part of her equipment a
knowledge of at least the rudiments Of
business. Women who are blessed
with fair share of worldly goods need
this knowledge hardly less than those
who have to make their own way in
the world. and who have not the pro-
lection and guardianship OF husband
and father for cI,ch. uo,,oop oor ~ouor
be sure that they may not at any mo-
ment be called upon to earn their own
livelihood. "-

Why Minors Should Not he Allowed to
Rent Postomce Boxes.
1t has been properly decided that
minors cannot rent letter boxes in the
postof1ces, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
"A general order from Washington has
gone forth to that effect. The reason
given for this action is that the gov
eminent does not wish to be a party
to the secret correspondence OF ca]low
youths and maidens that might be car
rfed on in the safety of letter box.
Several cases of harm have been re-
ported as. a result of such correspond
ence. The postmaster can hardly con-
tract with minor in any case unless
the latter has thegsanction of his par.
ents, and certainly the Office cannot
AFFORD to lend itself to any scheme for
the advancement of love affairs be-
TWEEN the designing youth and silly
girls. There is too much of this vealy
courtship in evidence as it is. Too
many youngsters Of school age are al
lowed to parade the streets at night, to
make acquaintance that cannot result
to the advantage OF anybody and to ac-
quire troubles that one is not easily
freed from. It is we'll for boys and
girls to associate together, but 1t
should be in the open freedom Of the
home, the playground and the schoo!
rather than in the streets. And par
ents need to discourage the idea of for
wardness in the girls and impudence
in the boys. Many youngsters who
are still in knickerbockers conceive
that they have arrived at discretionary
years when they can tramp the side
walks unattended, smoke fetid cigar
cites and address insulting remarks to
girls and young women whom they
pass. They are nuisance and they
require not merely a restraint of post
al privileges, but the warm parental
hand.
