Counsellor For the Japanse Le-
CATION at Washington Denies
the Story
To the Effect That Soldiers of the
Mikado Are Being Landed at
Honolulu.
No Japs Allowed to Land But
Those Accepted by the Ha-
Waiian Government.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a. 24.-Referring to
reports brought by the steamer Peking,
that the passengers saw large number
Of well drilled japanese land in Hawaii,
under the direction of sergeant, and
divided into military squads, Mr.. Dur.
ham w. Stevens, counsellor of the Jap.
anese legation, says the reports are un-
true, and are calculated to cause an un.
justifiable impression against Japan.
Mr.. Stevens says no japanese immi.
grants are allowed to land in Hawaii,
unless they have previously secured the
approval of the Hawaiian i'm.
migration authorities, and their
services have been previously en-.
gagged by the Hawaiian planters.
1t is impossible, therefore, for japanese
to land unless Hawaii desires their
presence. Persistent reports have ap'
peared that the japanese were gradu'
ally and quietly building up strong
military establishment in Hawaii, but
Mr.. Stevens says all these reports are
false and prejudicial. The japanese
warship Naniwai has been withdrawn
from Hawaii, SO that Japan is no longer
represented by any military or naval
force.

GERMS STILL INCUBATING.

Twelve New Cases and Two Deaths the
Record for the Day at New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, Sept. "a. The official
record in the board of health office
shows a total Of IL new cases of yellow
fever and deaths in "a hours. The
new cases are for the most part widely
scattered, and several of them at least
do not seem to have been the outcome
OF local infection. It is apparent that
the microbes brought over in baggage
from Biloxi and Ocean Springs are still
incubating and that many more cases
If fever are to be looked for. The
deaths were DR.. Joseph Lowell, aged ~
years, and Miss Elizabeth Mussbaum,
aged II. There were seven new cases
reported at Ocean Springs during the
day and seven patients who had been
ill were discharged. There are still 10
under treatment. At Biloxi, Michael
Levy, aged II, died of the fever.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-The United

with the aid of torpedoes, to make a

BANKERS FORGET
Proposed Action of the Bank of

liamentary Action.
Nevertheless 1t Is Feared the Ag-
itation Will Frighten the
Government.
Newspaper Comment Is Still
Caustic-ResOlutiOns Passed
by Bankers.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The protest which
the London bankers drew up at their
meeting in the clearing house against
the policy of the governor of the Bank
Of England in announcing its willing.
ness to maintain one.fifth of it's bullion
reserve in silver was presented to the
bank. The resolution is accompanied
by formal letter and the resolution
itself is in the name of the clearing
house association, as, although all the
members were not represented at
the meeting, majority Of the member
ship was represented, and unanimously
adopted the resolution, which is as
follows:
THAT this meeting entirely disap-
proves of the Bank of England agreeing
to exercise the option permitted by the
act Of 1884, of holding one-fifth or any
other proportion whatever Of silver as
reserve against the circulation of the
Bank of England notes.
THAT a copy of this resolution be
sent to the Bank of England, the prime
minister, the first lord of the treasury
and the chancellor of exchequer."
An organized movement has begun
to induce other commercial bodies to
protest against the announcement of
the governor of the Bank Of England.
A high official who was participant
in the negotiations between the United
States bimetallc commissioners and the
British cabinet said:
Il fear the bankers will frighten the
government into receding from their
stand for bimetallism. They have for.
gotten that parliament unanimously re-.
solved upon measures to secure stable
par Of exchange between gold and sill.
yer, and Sir Michael Hicks Beach (the
chancellor of the exchequer) pledged
himself to do all in his power to carry
the resolution into effect.
The English public have forgotten
also that 10 of the IA members of the
agricultural commission signed re-
port recommending bimetallism as a
palliative for the agricultural depres-
sion III England. The public and the
newspapers seem to think the govern
ment is Influenced merely by desire to
secure the good will Of the United
States when it is attempting to carry
out the declared policy OF parliament. "

there is no good reason why the
matter cannot be honorably and
amicably adjusted, to the satisfac
ton of all the nations concerned
The following paragraph from
the same source is equally interest
ing: Each adult female fur seal
found on the feeding grounds in
Behring Sea has pup on the isl
and dependent upon her for nour-
ishment. 1t has been clearly de
monstrated the past summer that
the pup fur seal does not feed on
other food than It's mothers milk
while it remains on the islands. 1t
necessarily follows that whenever
the mother seal dies or is killed
before weaving, the pup, however
large or vigorous, must starve to
death. In 1896, 16,O19 pups dead
from starvation were found on St.
Paul and st. George. These
deaths resulted from the killing of
the mothers at sea. And not only
does the death of the mother in
volve the death of her nursing off
spring, but. since the cows are
never permitted by the bulls to
leave the harems in the short inter
val between the birth of the pup
and reimpregnation it also involves
the death of the unborn pup. The
death of a nursing female fur seal,
therefore, involves the loss of three
lives, and is wasteful and ruinous
in the extreme. Since pelagic
sealing began upward of 100000
adult female fur seals have been
killed at sea, 100000 pups have
been starved to death on land, and
unborn pups destroyed"

Our sister city, Hilo, is to be
congratulated on its spirited cele-
bration of the Fourth of July, fol
lowing so closely, as it did, the
diamond jubilee of Victoria's
reign, which was also kept in a
manner that reflected credit on all
who joined in it. The fact is, these
anniversaries help wonderfully to
brighten the patriotic fame, which
should burn in every true patriots
breast, and help also to enforce
the truth of the brotherhood of
man and the fatherhood of God.
With the customary early salutes,
the parade of the antiques, base
ball, yacht races, spirited grafton,
sports, and crowd of several
thousand spectators, winding up
with a ball in the evening what
more could be desired? Then the
opening of the new church was
opportune. This edifce, by the
way, is handsome and commo-
dious building, capable of seating
comfortably about three hundred
persons, and is provided with a
fine organ. Such structure fur
nishes one of the best evidences of
the prosperity and moral senti-
ment of a community. We bid
God speed to Hilo's prosperity.

The contractors are rushing the
building of the new Pail road and
work will shortly be commenced
on the cliffs overhanging the old
road. The wisdom of following
the suggestion of the contractors,
to close the steep road down the
Pail to traffic while blasting is in
progress, cannot be denied. Blast
ing is always attended with more
or less danger, and however care
full the workmen on. the Pail road
may be, there is the possibility of
powders rolling over the edge and
menacing the lives of those ascend
ing. During the cholera epidemic
the road was closed for six weeks
with no serious inconvenience to
business on the other side of the
island. Too great precaution can
not be taken where the personal
safety of the travelling public is
concerned.

item that the tariff bill had passed
the Senate by a vote of 50 to %,
in which was restored the clause
relative to Hawaiian products

Representatives. The bill on
reaching the lower house, would at
once be given to joint committee
of the two houses, to adjust the
differences. This may take several
days. The Australia will bring
