Japanese Minister Says Havvaii',
Attitude Has Changed.

Japanese MiniStAr Says Uawaii'S
Attitude Has Changed.
The Japan Mail, of June 18th. says
Count Okuma, in an address delivered
to the local Governors, made the fol-
lowing remarks on the Hawaiian COM
plication, according to the Japan
Times translation:
Twelve years ago the immigration
of Japanese laborers to Hawaii first
took place, and since then more than
10000 have gone over, about one-half
now remaining in the country, the
others having returned home. The re-
suit of Japanese immigration has been
hitherto satisfactory, both to the i'm
migrants themselves and to their en-
ployers. In the meanwhile, however,
the attitude of the Hawaiian Govern
ment towards the Japanese laborers
has undergone a sudden change. There
has been a considerable increase of
severity in the treatment accorded to
the laborers, and the Hawaiian author
tiles have committed acts calculated to
restrict as much as possible the immi-
grafton of Japanese laborers. Indeed,
i
go on. the rights and privileges which
Japan enjoys in virtue of the treaty
with that country would be seriously
affected. so that Japan has been OBJ
liged to make strong representations
to the Hawaiian Republic. In other
words. Japan has pointed out that Ha-
waits recent actions are fragrant vio-
Iations of the treaty, and irrecOncila-
BILE with the spirit of international
courtesy: that the rulings of her courts
were wrong: that the steps taken by
her Executive and judiciary are not
iustifable in reason, and that for all
these faults the Hawaiian Government
must be held accountable. To be more
specific Hawaii must pay damages for
the losses which Japan has been Oblig-
ed to incur on all these accounts, and
the Republic must give sufficient safe
guards against repeating any such ac-
tions in future
ION the basis of the above instruc-
tions negotiations were opened with
Hawaii. but the reply which the latter
has made was extremely vague, so that
Japan has been obliged to demand fur
ther explanations. 1t is, of course, not
possible to predict with any certainty
the result of the negotiations. Some
are of opinion that when a small coun-
trv adopts a high-handed attitude to-
wards a large country, it is probably
because the smaller country entertalns
sanguine hopes as TO the backing or
some stronger power, and that the
present complication may therefore
be converted into one involving Japan

and the United States. The Count
thinks otherwise. For not only are
Japan and America bound by ties of
special friendship, dating from the
opening of this country for foreign in
tercourse, but even viewed from the
standpoint of the. American cOnstitu-
ton and of the principles that under
lie the founding of the Great Republic.
it is clear beyond any doubt that Am
erica will never interfere in the poll
tics of other countries, much less SYM
pathize with the present Hawaiian acts
that are so distinctly opposed to the
spirit of international courtesy: nor
would America offer opposition TO ia
pan The Count believes that the
question admits of a satisfactory solu-
ton. So long as Japan straightfor-
wardIy adheres to the dictates of right
and justice, as she has consistently
done from the first, there will be no
occasion to call in the help of third
party

JAPANESE IN HAWAII.
Corrections Regarding Attitude
This Time.

Corrections Regarding Attitude at
This Time.
An attempt has been made, we OBJ
serve, to impart a highly sensational
character to the negotiations now in
progress between Japan and Hawaii,
says the Japan Mail of the 18th inst,
| by declaring that preparations are Sc
cretly on foot for Japanese descent
upon the Island Republic, and that the
Government in Tokyo has definitely
made up it's mind to annex Hawaii.
That sinister view of the situation is
propounded, with addition of prac-
tical details and political contingent
cies, by correspondent of local con-
Temporary, who signs himself "One
Not Quite in the Dark, and his fore
cast seems to be endorsed in a tenta-
tive manner-certainly is not contra
dicted-by the journal to which he ad-
dresses himself 1t is not to be sup
posed that many persons will be mis-
led by such rumors. Had the copious
comments of the Japanese press on
this Hawaiian complication contained
the most shadowy indication of de-
sire for the addition of Hawaii to the
Japanese dominionS, there might be
some peg WhereOn to hang suspicion
such as that formulated by our local
contemporary correspondent. But
there has been not only a striking alb
sence of any symptom of ambition in
that sense, but also most emphatic
protest against the absurdity of at
tributing aggressive designs to Japan
an absurdity gravely perpetrated by
some of the Hawaiian anneXatiOnists,
who from the first, have endeavOred to
magnify this complication into an in
strument for melting the interference
of the United States. 1t appears almost
a waste of space to contradict such
silly rumors. Their incredlbil1ty must
be patent to anyone having even
slight grasp of the situation. We ven
ture to say that there could not be
found in the whole of Japan a dozen
men. however irresponsible, who are
silly enough to entertain the Wild and
most unWise project attributed to the
japanese Government by "One Not
Quite in the Dark Japan's position
in this matter is moderate and rea-
sOnable She is understood to ask for
nothing more than she has an un-
doubted right to demand. namely, that
Hawaii should observe its treaty OBJ
legations. and should make reasonable
compensation for the loss inflicted on
Japanese subjects by its breach of
these obligations. She has not the
smallest wish to disturb the existing
regimen in the Republic, but she ex-
poets to be treated with the considera-
ton observed by civilized States in
their conventional relations with each
other. We do not like to probe for mo-
tives. and are willing to believe that
"One Not Quite in the Dark and his
journalistic endorser are ingenious
victims of a hallucination, but we
would call their attention to the fact
that they lay themselves open to the
suspicion of deliberately playing into
the hands of agitators who seek to
alarm the United States in anneXing
the Pacific Republic.

A Hattie Royal In Olympia.

Tacoma Sunday Ledger: Paul D'Ier-
ny OF Seattle, and Henry j. Snively of
Yakima, this morning about O'Clock,
had an alteration in the Olympia hotel,
resulting in the latters receiving sundry
bruises, chief of which is the closing of
one eve to such an extent that Mr.. Snive-
ly has since been considerably inconveni-
enced, likewise rather bashful about
appearing i'll public. The knock down
occurred in the presence OF several dis.
tinguished visitors from various parts Of
the state, and is said to have been nc
complished with vigor and case. The
trouble, it seems, grew out Of the data
regarding Mr. Snvely, which Was dug
up four years ago, when that gentleman
WAS trying to he elected governor on the
democratic ticket, to the ANNOYANCE OF
John II. McGraw, who Was making
similar effort on the republican ticket
Said data related to alleged transactions
of Mr., Snively in West Virginia, and as
direct result thereof as claimed 10y
Mr.. Snively, his defeat resulted.
Naturally four years time has not
healed the sore spot in the defeated can
didate's feelings, and when be IN some
way became convinced that Paul dlIeir-
ry had something to do with digging up
this record. he started in to tell Paul what
he thought he was,
Paul said he didn't know anything
about the matter; he was here having
all kinds of "A good time, and didn't want
his pleasure interrupted with any trouble.
Finally, however. forbearance ceased to
be virtue. The Seattle spirit asserted
itself. and Paul told Henry few things,
and then the trouble began. Sniyey
went down on the first round to avoid
punishment but Marquis Of Queensberry
rules were not strictly followed and Paul
piled on" in an effort to aunihilate his
adversary. In this he was unsuccessful,
for Ben Everett aud others lifted him of

has melted away the ice from around the

Tuesday evening by those members who
still live in the state of single blessed

and artistically decorated, no pains or

was OF English ivy which was great
relief to the eyes from the scared condi-

part of the program was-well it was not
all music exactly, for if there is one thing
more than another that Bachelor Fred

Hendricks walked back to 234 Union

by the hand. She was pale, and her eyes
were red with weeping.

pose you did not catch my brother, and
now want to search the house."
I'VE did not catch him. that Is true,

three went into the parlor. "But did

unpleasant to you. | came chiefly to
apologize for my roughness just now.
If had reflected, | would not have
pushed you aside as, | did; but, as 1t
was, IL seemed our only chance Of se-
curing him, and we already had been
delayed"
"Why. you must be" She paused.
"Minard Hendricks" the detective in
terpolated.
Good gracious" she cried, putting
her arm around her son and drawing
him to her. "Iknew it was you, because

Hendricks sat down.

Mrs. Champney; but II is only charge,

convicted"
The woman's face fell, and the arm
around the boy was trembling visibly.
"What has he done?" she gasped. "You
may as well let it out. want to know.
What has he done?
"There was certain man whom your
brother hated" replied the detective,

Ills name was Strong-Rlchard N
Strong"
The woman stared, then Hendricks
saw her eyes waver.
"Yes, perhaps he did hate him. He
had good reason for doing so; Strong
robbed him of every cent of his savings
when they were partners in mining en-
terprises out west years ago. That
was my brothers one weak point; he
was really a sort of monomaniac on the
subject But what has that to do
with"
"Strong was murdered in his bed
three weeks ago." said Hendricks, i'm
pressively.
"0h, my God! you don't mean it? My
brother could not have killed him!
Tom could not have done such q thing!
Oh, Mr.. Hendricks, don't tell me it is
true, lie has been enough trouble to
me, without my having to face such a
horror as that"
81 am sorry TO say IL looks very much
MS II he did it," Hendricks replied. "ln
fact, | have rather strong evidence
against him."
Drawing her child to sofa with her,
the woman sat down. Hendricks was
afraid she was going to faint, she had
turned so white, but when he started
to rise to her assistance she motioned
him back.
"Now | understand" she said. "He
went away about three weeks ago, and
would not tell me where he had been.
! In fact, II irritated him when we asked
about his absence. Fred!" she cried, as
she held the boy little way from her,
"your uncle Tom has killed man. He
is a murderer, and will have to be exc
cuted like any other criminal. That's
what has been the matter with him
lately. That's why he has been so rest
less and unable to sleep, and why he is
SO anxious to read the newspapers. Poor

Goddard Murder Trial
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 3O.-The
Goddard case was given to the jury at
1925 last night. At shortly before
midnight the jurors had not agreed
upon verdict and were locked up for
the night. A scene unparalleled in the
criminal jurisprudence of Jackson
county occurred in the criminal court
last night when Prosecutor Lowe fin
ished his address to the jury. The
room was crowded, every foot of avail
able space being occupied. Men,
women and boys stood in the
aisles and every available space
was filled. Mr.. Lowe had just
finished a fervid appeal to the jury,
asking them to be true to their
manhood, to be true to the laws Of
their country, to sustain the dignity
and honor of the state. when instantly
II mighty roar of applause went up.
Men shouted clapped their hands and
sprang to their feet Women waved
their handkerchiefs and joined in the
uproar. Judge Longan ordered every
person arrested who had participated
in the demonstration, but later con,
cluded he would have no place TO put
them, and ordered the court room
cleared.
