"OId Glory, Not Raised.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21-Advices by
the steamer Coptic.i from Honolulu, dated
Aug. Is, say: The American flag has not
yet been raised over Hawaii, and there is no
indications that it will be. Just before the
last steamer left for San Francisco on July
q. it was rumoredy that on Aug. the
United States minister would take possess
sion of the islands, He was to receive def
mite instructions on the steamer Mouna,
arriving at Honolulu, July 20, but evidently
they failed to come, as the nag was not
raised.
The Hawaiian government has declined to
grant a permanent register under the Ha-
waiian flag, Of the Pacific Mail steamship
China, which was granted temporary reg
lister by the Hawaiian consul at London.
The China is a I3ritish-built vessel, and the
Hawaiian government claims that the sale
of the ship to Colonel McFarlane, a Ha-
waiian subject. IS not a bona fide one
The Coptic also brought the following
Japanese advices: 1t appears from the
Japanese papers that the Hawaiian gov
eminent first desired to leave to the arbi-
tratiOn of third party only the matter of
the definition of the emigration regulations,
but that Minister Shimmamura and Coun-
cilor Akiyama insisted that all matter
concerning the treaty be arbitrated. The
proposal of arbitration is denounced as
nothing more than the outcome of the
wanton indecsion displayed by the Ha-
Waiian authorities. No special reason is
assigned for the return of Councillor Aki-
yama except that the final negotiations
having been arrived at there was no
further reason for his remaining longer
on the island. The Japanese government
is preparing to publish all correspondence
and proceedings in the case in the event
of the matter being submitted to arbitra-
ton. 1t will insist upon the settlement of
the following claims:
First-That the action of Hawaii in re-
fusing the landing of the Japanese was a
fragrant violation of the treaty.
Second-That the Hawaiian government
is responsible to pay damages resulting
therefrom.
Third-That the Hawaiian government
is required to establish a guarantee to
avoid future trouble of a similar kind

ERROR IN WOOL STATISTICS.
26,3O2, 900 Pounds Too Much Credited
to ImpOrth, Of 1893.

WASHINGTON. Aug A=An error of
considerable magnitude has been discovered
in the treasury statistics relating to woods
imported for consumption in 1893 The chief
of the Bureau of Statistics reports to the
Treasury Department that in going over
the figures for the year in making some
special comparisons It was discovered that
woods of Class g. imported in the fiscal year
1898, were reported to have been 133197,5SC
pounds: These figures are too high by
having been made in entering the imports
for immediate consumption at Philadelphia
in the quarter ending Dec 81. 1892 The
total imports of Class 3 wools in 1893 should

will result in raising the average value OF
wool per pound in 1899 as given by the
Bureau of Statistics from .oT6 to .O95. The
error was made in pointing off the figures
received from Philadelphia Attention is
called to the correction in view of the inn
portance of comparisons to be made with
woods of the same class imported for con-
sumption in subsequent years.

LETTER FROM RATCHFORD.
Advises Brazil Strikers to Let Humane
Institutions Have Coal

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. H-The miners mass
meeting held here to-day was extremely
exciting and closed to meet again next
Saturday. The bone of contention arose
over a letter from President Ratchford to
G. M. Greager, secretary of the miners
committee, admonishing the miners here to
allow sufficient coal to be mined to supply
the water works and all humane institu-
tions. Among other things President Rach-
ford says: In the matter of mining coal
for humane and charitable purposes, such
as hospitals and other state institutions.
together with the supply of coal for CITY
water works, electric-light plants etc this
is allowed where proper applications are
made and where we are satisfied that the
interests of the people are sought to be
served rather than the interests of those
who may supply such trade.
our people VIII make mistake if they
deny the city of Brazil of light and water.
The sympathy of the press and the support
of the people are with us and must not be
alienated by any rash action"
Many OF the strikers were in favor of re-
pealing the order adopted at the outset
of the strike to allow no coal to be mined
whatever and comply with Rachford's in
structions. but a large number of the men
were in favor of rejecting ii and pursue
