Mr.. Smiths Statement.

MIR. EDIToR;-The interview with
me in regard to the controversy with
Japan. as reported in your issue OF
this morning. is in some respects. in
correct.
1 did not state that Minister Shima-
mura will not admit that the investi-
cation held by Minister Cooper was at
all just"
My statement was that the Japanese
claim was based on the ground that
our immigration laws and regulations
were in violation OF treaty rights: that
they had not entered into the merits
OF the Investigations.
In regard 10 Minister Twins inter
view with the Executive Council. did
not state that he knew nothing OF the
situation. nor that his presence in
Japan could not affect the matter in
the least, but said Mr.. Irwin did not
know what had passed between the
two Governments. so We had informed
him OF the correspondence.
The reporter then asked if the mat
ter would now be turned over to Mr..
Irwin. | replied; No. the correspon-
dence would be carried on with Min
lister Shimamura.'

any other nationality here, that

But they speak dozen or more
different languages, and can never

unless controlled by a stronger
arm than that Of Hawaii. Herein
lies the risk attending this new ele-
ment Of our population, which
must be guarded against in future,
or Hawaii viii become q japanese
colony within very few years. In
the earlier days of japanese mod
ernhistory. the people were forbid
den toleave that country, and very
few went abroad TO remain. 1t was
this fact that disarmed the nego1-
ators OF our first treaty with Japan,
made In 1871. Neither Minister
Long nor the Kings Ministers here
anticipated any change in the ex-
isting regulations, and therefore
made no provision for a contingen-
cy which was never anticipated as
likely to happen. 1t was the old
Uabu that still existed in Japan
that removed all suspicion on the
part Of Hawaii. at the time the
treaty was made. If any one had
then seriously suggested that
there might soon be an influx of
japanese TO Hawaii. he would
have been deemed an idiot, and
laughed AZ by both parties TO the
treaty. Hence no provision was
made in the treaty, which has out
lived the conditions existing at
the time it was made. This is a
point. which should not be over
looked at this time.

INDIA.

1t is pretty generally recognized
by English authorities, after the
lapse Of many years, that certain
signs and marks which were
found 10 be widespread through
out India, had reference TO the
Sepoy rebellion which subse-
quently broke out Quite recent
", il was thought that signs,
marks and characters observed
quite generally throughout the
country might possibly have re-
ference TO further trouble. In the
news items by the Gaelic. very
serious trouble seems TO be i'm
pending, and there have been a
number of grave outbreaks
against the English authority.
Further news in this behalf will
be looked for with intense in

Nothing could be more pleasant
than the advices received Tuesday
by the Gaelic'S mail. The work OF
the extra session was drawing TO
a close. and as the lower house of
Congress is understood TO favor
most of the changes in the tariff
bill, which have been adjusted in
the Senate on compromise basis.
it has probably been finally pass
ed and signed by the President be-
fore this date, TO take effect i'm
mediately. In Cuban affairs, no
change is reported. General Wey-
Ter is as profuse in his promises
as ever. but gives no evidence of
any substantial success. and in
the opinion of those in the United
States best capable of judging,
never win succeed. The trouble
between Greece and Turkey seems
no nearer a close than one month
ago, while Turkey continues 10
deyastate Thessaly, which is peo-
pied mostly by Greeks. The Eu-
ropean powers appear TO be
paralyzed. and unable TO act in
bringing about a settlement. No
definite advices have been receiv-
ed, as to what is being done by
them. and in the meanwhile the
Turk has his own way.

Talks About Annexation Over In
London.
LONDON. June 2S.-The Rt. Rev.
A. Willis. Episcopal Bishop of Homo
lulu, has arrived in London to attend
the Lambeth Ecclesiastical Conference.
He was interviewed today regarding
the annexation OF Hawaii by the Unit
ed States, and said he was surprised at
the rapid action OF the American Gov
eminent. He added that he believed
that difficulty with China and Japan is
inevitable.
The annexation will annul, ipso
faeto. the laws relating to the expul-
sion of Chinese from United States
territory. He was certain that the ma
tives and many honorable foreigners
would prefer death TO annexation.
They would undoubtedly prefer prop
er. stable Government under the pro-
lection of a strong nation like Eng
land. Impending events would unmask
the Americans and show the quality
of their humanity and morality.

The Legislature of the State of
New York, at its last session, pass
ed a resolution directing the Com
missioner of Agriculture to make
experiments in beet cultivation,
of not less than half an acre
in every county OF the State,
with the best seeds that can
be procured. The owners Of
the farms where the experiments
are made, are to be paid s25 each
for services in connection with the
planting and care of the beets.
They are also required TO make
weekly reports OF the experiments,
And when the beets are ripe, they
are to be tested at the State Agri-
cultural Station, in regard to their

of the most thorough and satisfac-

The recent retirement OF hbrari-
an Spofford of the Congressional
library in Warrington was a unique
occurrence. One OF the reasons
given by Mr.. Spoford for refusing
to be a candidate for denomination
was, that applicants for positions in
the new library have consumed so
much of his time during the past
few months, that he has been pre-
vented from giving the attention to
his duties which they required. 1t
seems that the persistent office
seeker Is no restecter of persons.
Fortunately the great library viii
not lose the valuable services OF Mr..
as he has been appointed
chief assistant librarian. He will
devote himself chiefly to preparing
information for members OF Con-
gress and to selecting additions to
the library, each a task which only
a man with his intimate knowledge
Of the contents Of the Congreszion-
al library, and his experience
among books could successfully
perform.

F. LAMBS,

RoANE rEEE RANGE.

J. T. Person visited his sheep camp in
the north end of the county the early
part of the week. He says that sheep
have gone through the winter in remark
ably fine shape, coming out in good
flesh, and with but little loss. Consid-
cradle hay was fed although the winter
was comparatively mild. The sheep
have now been taken to the spring range
in the Rock creek country.
There has been a good deal of trouble
between the sheep owners and cattle
owners over the Rock creek range, and
last season the cattle men joined to-
gether and warned all the sheep owners
that their focks must be across Rock
creek by given date or they would be
forced across at the point of the pistol
True to their threat, the sheep were all
forced across. But the sheep men were
not vanquished. They Immediately
retaliated by renting, at small rental
large tracts of railroad lands within the
disputed territory, and warned the cattle
men that they must not allow their herds
to trespass thereon. The rented sections
were inclosed with barbed wire, anC
this has so restricted the cattle range
that the cattle owners wish they haC
allowed the matter to rest undisturbeC
in the first place. The leases OF this Ntn'
were made by the n. 2. railroad com
pany at low rate, but it expects to bt
benefited by the plan through the in
creased shipment of wool over the road
as all sheep owners who have leased lands
have contracted to drive their sheep tC
shearing stations provided by the rail
road company along it's line, and make
shipment of the clip over the Northern
Pacific. But the arrangement is a gooo
one for the sheep men, and they are
greatly pleased that they can look for
ward to long period of years during
which the range will not be encroached
npon. The shearing stations provided
by the railroad companyare commodious
and comfortable, and watering places
have also been constructed along the
road over which the hOcks must be
driven.
The great numbers of practically
worthless horses that roam over the
range are great menace to the tocks
and herds. They eat up much of the
grass that is needed by cattle and sheep
and there being no market for horses
the equines are multiplying with great
rapidity. Many of the horse owners now
lay no claim whatever to their stock,
and through neglect and inbreeding 1t is
fast decorating. The winter has been 8
bad one on these horses, as they had
eaten the range close before the snow
came, and "rustling" proved difficult
AS a consequence hundreds of them have
died from starvation. 1t would be mer'
ciful as we'll as a profitable scheme tC
kill off portion of this worthless lot
of cayuses before they destroy the range
