JAPAN AND HAWAII.
Whatever May be Said to the Contrary

ing People.

ing People.
From Harpcrs Magazine.
This is a delicate subject. I know,
but ! cannot refrain from saying that
Americans especially should appreciate
the solcitude which Japan feels in the
welfare Of her subjects in foreign
countries. The japanese government
has never permitted the establishment
of anything like a "coolie" system
among her people. If they go abroad,
it desires that they shall go as men,
and not as numbers, and it asks and
expects for them the same treatment
and the same protection as are accord
ed to other strangers. Whatsoever
may he said to the contrary, the Japan
ese are not an emigrating people: but,
to provide for all contingencies, an
emigration law has been enacted care
fully framed. to protect the emigrant,
and to prevent him from going to coun-
tries where he would not he welcome
Japanese emigration to Hawaii involves
this among other questions. That emf
grafton was instituted upon the solicit
tation of Hawaii under the strictly
guarded stipulations Of a special treaty
The welfare, much less the Independ-
ence of Hawaii, has never been en-
dangered by the operations of that
treaty. On the contrary, japanese i'm
migration was zealously promoted and
encouraged in the islands until politi-
cal contingencies rendered another
policy advisable. japan did not seek
the treaty, but her people have been
induced to resort to Hawaii under
the guarantees it provides. and Ger
tainly NJ one with any sense of JUS
ticc can now blame her for ondcavor-
ing t. conserve their rights.

plain of the Lack of
Protection There.
OF the Opinion That the City
Should Aid the Sunset
District.
No Water or Apparatus With Which
to Fight Blaze-Fire There
Saturday.

Richard Keller, president of the Sun
set Improvement District, is very
much worked up over the fact
that there is no means by
which fire could be handled
in the Sunset or Sunnyside dis
trict Within the last few years
that portion of the city south of Gold
Ell Gate Park has built up TO a great
extent. but as yet no arrangements
have been made for placing a fire
company in that vicinity.
Early last Saturday morning a fire
started in a building owned by Mr..
Leipsic, dairyman, and had it not
been for prompt action on the part of
property owners near by it is thought
that the loss of property would have
been enormous.
Many houses are being built there
at the present time, and the property
owners are determined to do their best
to nave the matter attended to. The
owners in connection with President
Keller have declared that they will
call the attention of the Fire Commits
sioners to the way in which they are
constantly in danger of losing their
homes through fire and their helpless
ness should a blaze get any headway
during high wind. The fact will be
SHOWN that prompt action alone has
put out what might have resulted in
serious blaZeS.
Many complaints have been men
uoned concerning the matter to Cap
tain Gillen of the SeVenteenth-str
police station, and it is probable that
representatives of the citizens will ap-
pear at the next meeting of the Com
mlssioners and state their reasons for
asking that Sunnyside be protected
from flames.

THE CINDERELLA
GLASS MEETS.
First Dance Of This Fashionable
OrgoDizotion at Native
Sons Hall.

The first meeting of the Cinderellas
the latest and quite the most fashion
able of the many popular dancing
classes, was held last evening at Ma
tive Sons Hall.
More than $50 invitations were is
sued and not one regret was received.
The invitations for the Cinderella
gatherings are issued by the lady pat
ronesses, Mrs. E. E. Eyre, Madame de
Guigne, Mrs. Gordon Blanding, Mrs.
Percy Moore. Mrs. Robert T. Coleman,
Mrs. A. L. Head, Mrs. Charles Josse-
lyn, Mrs. Charles Page, Mrs. Austin G..
Tubbs and Mrs. c. A. Baldwin. Native
Sons Hall was elaborately decorated
for this fashionable gathering with a
wealth of greenery and flaming red
berries, emblamatic of the approach
ing Christmastide.
The costumes of the ladies were eX-
tremely handsome and particularly
suggested Cinderella in all the wealth
of her fairy given attire at the
Princes ball.
Mesdames de Guigne, Brigham
Donohoe and Pagne acted as recep-
ton committee.
Supper was served during the even
ing from a buffet.
1t is the intention of the lady pat
ronesses of the Cinderella class to give
three dances during the season. Theil
next meeting will be held during Jan
uary.

Defeated Tea Rose III

Fast Time.
Torsida With H. Martin Up
Captured the Rich Oak
land Prize.
Outsiders in the Betting Won Most OF
the Races at the Shellnnound
Track.

The track at Oakland is now fast
enough to keep the company of mill
Iionaire's prodigal son. AT quite fire.
ouent intervals some old and time
worn State record goes a glimmering.
Yesterday DR.. RowelPs blaze-faced
chestnut son of MacDuff, Satsuma, de-
feated a select crowd of swift ones,
among them Tea Rose III, May w
and Bellicoso, equaling the circular
track record for six furlongs, 1:1212.
He was ridden by Eddie Jones, and
was as good as and to l in the bet
ting. Tea Rose, which with May W
ruled favorite in the ring, set a great
clip out in front and it was only in the
last few strides that Jones got up with
Satsuma, beating the filly head on
the wire Jones handling of the win
ner though through the stretch was
very ragged, for he should have won
by a couple of lengths, being much
the best. May W, backed by her peo-
pie for the first time during the meet
ing. was bumped by BellicOsO before
reaching the stretch, seriously retard-
ing her progress.
The card was an excellent one and
some rare good finishes were wit
messed by the crowd. The fields were
large but Ferguson sent them away
nicely aligned. OF the six favorites
sent out, two only returned with the
coin.
The Oakland prize, a $1250 stake for
two-year- over a distance Of one
mile, finished a highly invigOrating
finish between Torsida, ridden by H.
Martin, Count of Flanders, with Con-
ley up. and Eddie Jones, the Burns and
Waterhouse entry, pilOted by Charley
rT-l-. OF
Flanders was favorite at odds of TO
5. st. Calatine, the third choice, was
sent out by Ames and led the bunch
to the paddock, where the favorite on
the outside and Eddie Jones on the in
side came with a rush and AmeS went
to pieces.
The Count quickly showed in front
and looked to be winning when
"Skeets Martin came bustling along
on Torsida. and in perfectly timed
ride defeated the first choice half a
length. Eddie Jones was third, a neck
before st. Calatine. The latter was
bumped by Count of Flanders oppo-
site the paddock, which did not help
her chances.
A big field of seventeen starters
lined up for the first event, a seven
furlong selling affair. Silver State, a
20 to l shot at one stage of the betting,
made ali the running, leading O'Fleeta
a length at the end. The pOOrly-ridden
favorite, Dolore, was a close third, a
head in front of D. J. Tobin.
Kamsin struck easy game in the
seven-furlong run which followed, and
going TO the post a to favorite, with
Willie Martin up, won easily from Ma
jOr Cook, a 20 to l outsider, ridden by
Joe Weber.
The mile selling run resulted in a win
for the s to favOrite, McLight, ridden
in brilliant fashion by Joe Piggott
Montallade took the lead when half
the distance had been covered, and at
one time it looked as though he would
not be caught. Jones managed to get
through the bunch on the inside with
Mamie Scott, rank outsider, and it
took the hardest sort of riding on Pig
gott's part to land McLight winner by
a head in 1:4012.

The programme of events is as fol-
lows: Four-round boxing bouts for
the feather-weight championship of
the club between Gene" Mulligan,

TEACHERS MUST WHIT.
Auditor Decides That Their Solo-
ries Are Not Payable
Until Earned.

Legal difficulties have intervened to
prevent the teachers of the Public
school Department from getting their
salaries before the holidays, as was
intended by the Board of Education.
The clerks of the board have been
working assiduously for several days
TO get the warrants out and have
about accomplished the task, but an
obstacle has appeared in the form of
a law that prevents the Auditor from
signing the demands or the Treasurer
from paying them until the services
have actually been performed. No
money for the payment of the warrant
will be available until the Treasurer
has had an opportunity of going to
Sacramento for a settlement with the
State, and the probabilities are that
the teachers will not get their money
until the regular day, January 5.

Be Grover, the Wisconsin Abductor
Chicago, Aug. S.-Another warrant
charging bigamy has been served on
David Ellsworth Bates in cell at the
police headquarters. 1t was sworn out
by James l.. Mccarthy, who said he
was the father of Mr.. Bates No. 3. The
police say that Bates married at least
seven women, all of whom are living,
and only one of them divorced. This
makes the lean and sallow-faced little
bookkeeper polygamist extraordi-
nary. A Wisconsin sheriff believes
that Bates is really Austin o. Grover,
who is under indictment at Waupaca,
Wis, for the abduction of pretty 49,
year-old Olive Vosberg some months
ago. Her photograph was found in his
coat. 1t is suggested by the police that
this girl may have been the seventh
wife.
