AUTHORITY.
Foreign Ohce Notice.

This day had audience of the
President Mr.. ii. Shimamura, His
Imperial Japanese Majesty's Dip
lomatic Agent and Consul Gener
al, who presented his credentials
from His Majesty the Emperor
accrediting him in the capacity OF
Minister Resident in the Republic
of Hawaii.
In presenting the autograph

and belief that these pleasant ,er.
sonal and official amenities may be
continued in my new and more
extended relations with your gov
erumeDt.
| avail myself of this occasion
to assure you of my sincere desire
for your future health and wei
fare.
To which the President replied:

is slow to move, rather retrogressive in
some things, content to be left alone,
not seeking after new things, or much
concerned in advancement along mod
ern lines.
The progressive group is dominated
by English thought and the commercial
spirit. But the richest lands, the most
desirable locations, the best mines, the
most healthful and salubrious sections,
are all in the hands of the contented
and unprogressive elements. The Eng
lish practically say to these suspicious
descendants of Hollanders, Come,
now; move along; develop the Trans
vaal; do something; get up and move
lively, or else let us do the thing for
you. We can manage If you will not
To this the Boer responds with cold
progress. We are not DESTROYS of

upon our moral levels, and that brings
with it ills not compensated by its ben

skill and learning, without your greed
and vices, it would be a differ
ent matter When you say to us, get
up and move we reply, push along all
you wish to for yourselves in your own
lands; leave us alone on ours. The
correspondent concludes the whole sub
| ject with these very suggestive SEN
fences:
| If the Beers had Bechunaland instead
| of the Transvaal, or If the TranSVaai
! were as devoid of mineral wealth as IS
| the Free State, there would be no more
tension between the Dutch and English
| than there was between the two in the
Free State before the raid. The disturb
| ing factor in the situation is the wealth
| of the Transvaal.

endeavor to relieve the sufferings of
those Americans who cannot leave.
There appears to be reasonable ground
for the fear that relief supplies cannot
be well distributed and that they may
not reach those for whom intended. In
deed the Spanish expression to this mo-
ment Is that any attempt on the part of
the United States to send in and distri-
butte such supplies will be considered
unfriendly action. The Spanish fear
that such succor will be construed by
Cubans as indicative of the sympathy
of the United States with the insurgent
cause. Well, in a sense they are right
But for all that the relief should be ex-
tended, and if Spain prevents it the
United States should ask the reason
way backed by the heavy guns of
American cruisers. There is a limit to
international comfy, and to the patti
cnce and endurance Of neutral. In the
case at hand it will have been reached
and passed when Spanish authority pre-
vents US from rescuing our own from
starvation.

probably true. as "Harper's Weekly" af-

Still all the talk of the elimination of
the horse from the landscape of cities

that they deserted the women to make

WORKINGMEN'S OUTING.
Yesterdays Picnic field by the FEEDER
ated Trades.

The annual picnic and reunion of the
Federated Trades Council was held at
East Park yesterday. Hundreds OF
persons availed themselves of the OPP
portunity to throw care to the four
winds and enjoy themselves for the day
and the arrangements made for their

doubt that they succeeded.
The grand parade was formed at
Federated Trades Hall at 10 O'Clock in

of the several labor unions being in line.
The parade was led by the Militant and
the Forester Bands, and marched from
the hall to X street, down K to Second,
through Second to J, out to Fifteenth,
and then eountermarched to Ninth.

manner IN which the parade was con-

1t was fully o'clock before the crowd
began TO reach the park, and they all
got there in a bunch. The refresh

centers of good natured picnickers, all
bent on having a thoroughly good time.
The music was excellent and the
weather all that could be wished.
Harry Rogers, as Floor Director,
made things pleasant for those present
who engaged in dancing, and to the
efforts of the special picnic committee
was due to a great extent the fact that
not single incident occurred TO mar
the enjoyment of the picnickers. The
members of the committee Were: Hen

IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mrs. Adams Made Drying-Room for
Her Clothes of the East Room.

Congress first assembled in the new
Capitol on November II. 1900; and
John Adams, then President. took up
his abode in the Executive Mansion -

Domestic Side of the White House" in
the Ladies Home Journal" Neither
the Capitol nor the Executive Man
sion was fully completed. The proper
tions of the house seemed to Mrs.
Adams as grand and superb. The
plan was taken from the palace of the
Duke of Leinster in Dublin. If they
will put up some bells and let me have
wood enough to keep fires wrote Mrs.
Adams, i design to be pleased. But.
though literally in the woods, no one
could be found TO cut and cart fire
wood. The few cords of wood that
had been provided had been expended
to dry the prastering. a Pennsylvania
wagon, secured through a Treasury
clerk, delivered cord and a half of
wood, which is wrote Mrs. Adams, all
we have for this house, where twelve
fires are constantly required. and we
are told the roads will soon be so bad
that ii cannot be drawn
The society lidies were impatient
for drawing in the Executive
Mansion. and this when Mrs. Adams
had no lookingglasses but dwarfs, and
not twentieth part lamps enough
to light the house. There was no in
closure, and she made a drying room
for her clothes of the great East room.
The original cost OF the White House
is said to have been little more than
$4,000, and something more than that
amount was expended i'll restoring 1t

There was another row on Eighth,

lesser scraps in various localities.

The sincerity of the spirit that ami
mated the people of Philadelphia on the
occasion of the unwilling of the new
monument and statue to the memory of
George Washington cannot be doubted.
That patriotism ran at high tide on that
day is proved. not so much by the shouts
of the people and their plaudits as the
yelling fell as by the enormous numbers
who turned out in the professions, the
vast muftitudes that attended at the eX-
ercises, and the deep interest manifest
by the people IN the occasion and all its
details. Those who count upon advanc-
ing their retrogressive impossible, reVo-
lutionary and fanciful schemes for the
undoing of the system of the American
Republic in order to substitute a theo-
retically vain community of all things
in it's stead will find when they come to
test matters, that the American people
are not less patriotic and devoted to free
institutions than at any time in the past
