TROUBLESOME BOYLE.
Once More After the Kansas stock
Yards Company.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 16.-Attorney
General Boyle today commenced quo
warranto proceedings in the supreme
court to secure the forfeiture of the
charter of the Kansas Stock Yards
company, alleging that the company
is violating the state law, under which
it's charter was secured by maintaining
general offices in Kansas City, Mo. The
company, the attorney general claims,
seems to evade the law enacted by the
Legislature last winter, now in Htiga-
tion III the federal court, by contendlng
that it is an interstate corporation. This
the state contends is untrue, as the
company is a Kansas institution and
should conform to the Kansas law,
which provides that the general offices
shall be maintained in Kansas. The
object of the suit is to compel the COM
pany to remove it's general offices to
Kansas City, Kan.

HANNANIsM Is DOOMED.
Cincinnati Prepared to Hit the Gang
Another Hard Blow

CINCINNATI, Oct 16.-It is now GER
tain that Mark Hanna will get no votes
from Hamilton county, when the next
legislature of Ohio ballots for United
States senator. The political events of
the last few days in this city have
demonstrated beyond the possibility of
doubt that the people are determined
to rid themselves once and for all of
the vicious Republican gang which has
so long dominated public affairs in this
community. Every other issue, state
and national, has been swept aside in
the inexorable purpose of the citizens
to complete the defeat of George e.
Cox, and his malodorous ring of spoils-
men, so gloriously begun in the last
municipal election.
At that election Cincinnati went
Democratic by nearly 5000 majority,
and it is estimated by those who arc
acknowledged to be experts in the art
of political calculation, that Hamilton
county will defeat the Republican tick
ct, legislative and local next month,
by at least $4,000 to $4,000.

leave Hawaii may do so, will be pub
lished in detail in ''Luzo" this morn
ing. The scheme has been quietly
brewing for some months past. Very
little has been said about it by the pro-
moters, except to certain members of
the Portuguese colony until the pres
ent time when the plans have assumed
definite shape.
The plan is to emigrate to Taimoa,
an island about day and half steam
ing from Batavia. The island is al
ready well populated. 1t is the joint
possession of the Portuguese and the
Dutch. Its Governor is Portuguese.
The plan for emigration is the out
come of an organization of Portuguese
who have been studying the advisa-
bility of such transfer. 1t is said that
the chief reason for desiring emigra-
/ ton from Hawaii is a political one, the
uncertainty among the Portuguese of
what their status will be in the event
of annexation of Hawaii to the United
/ States. A well-known Portuguese said
! yesterday. in conversation on the sub
/ ject of annexation, that it was his be-
f lief that, should Hawaii become part
of the United States, there are but five
| Portuguese in the Islands who would
1 become American citizens, and they
only because they were naturalized
citizens of this country. He said there
were many others whose opinions CO.
incided with his, that they believed
I that with annexation the Portuguese
would have no vote. He said no assur-
ances to the contrary had been given
the Portuguese here and that many
of them feared the future, and for this
! reason were planning to leave.
! This gentleman stated that under eX-
listing conditions it is with great diff
Guilty that the Portuguese were able to
find work enough to support them
selves and their large families. To
them the labor problem is a serious
one. Work on the plantations in most
cases is out of the question to the
Portuguese with a family, and their
field of labor in other directions is lin
tied. He made no mention of the prob
ability Of rise in the scale of cheap
labor to the American standard, with
annexation.
To the Portuguese in Hawaii, he
said, there are many objections to the
taking up of lands and establishing
permanent homes. The question of
the future is constantly before them.
In Taimoa the conditions are different.
Considerable correspondence has al
ready been had with the Portuguese
Governor of the colony, and he has Of
fered sufficient inducement for the
Portuguese to gradually leave Hawaii.
The Governor is in favor of the
scheme.
He has promised that the emigrants
shall not be without homes there, they
will be provided for them, and it will
be to their advantage to work the soil
either as agriculturists, or as miners
There is gold in Taimoa and at the
present time it is worked only by the

fully as profitable as the mines The
products of the country are sugar, cof-

many ways to that of Hawaii, though
perhaps a little more rigorous 1t is
believed the Portuguese can easily ac-
climate themselves TO the island after
their residence here.
The scheme as first proposed was to
go to Delagoa Bay. After the failure OF

The scheme of emigrating to Timur
Island has not been wholly formulated
by members of the Portuguese colony
yet The Portuguese who had written
to the Governor of Timur met at the
Portuguese Consulate yesterday, in re-
sponse to the request of Charge DAT
faires Canavarro, who communicated
to them the dispatches received from
the Portuguese Government, in answer
to the petition from Honolulu to the
Governor of Timur. This petition to
the Governor asked for full particu-
lars of the opportunities that the ISL
and could offer to such Portuguese
here as had become possessed of the
idea of emigrating.
After reading to them the dispatches
from the home Government, asking in
formation on the correspondence, the
Portuguese Consul asked the signers
of the petition to the Governor of Ii
mur to express their plans more def
nitely, so that he might communicate
their desires to the Portuguese Govern
ment, according to his instructions.
The signers explained their position
and gave their plans in detail. They
said that under the present conditions
in Hawaii they saw very little hope for
the Portuguese The Asiatic and other
immigration was forcing a competition
which was becoming hard for them.
This competition was becoming appar-
ent in many branches. On the planta-
tions the laborers were receiving wages
which discouraged the man of large
families, as it was insufficient for their
proper support. For this reason they
preferred going to some other country,
provided they received good induce
ments.
They also requested Senior Cana
varro to obtain from the Governor of
Timur more definite information of the
resources of the island and the condi-
tions obtaining there, and what their
condition would be, provided they emf
grated. They also requested him to in
Quire from Portugal what encourage
ment their plans would receive from
the Portuguese Government.
1t was proposed by the signers yes
terday that two of their number go to
Timur and have a conference with the
Governor on the subject, and to exam
inc personally into the situation. They
wished Senior Canavarro to obtain
permission from Portugal for them to
make such a visit, and at the same
time to request the home Government
to encourage emigration to some Other
Portuguese possession in Africa, pro
vided the investigation at Timul
proved that the opportunities were un-
| favorable.
Senior Canavarro promised to com
municate their petition and all the de-
tails to the Portuguese Government.

! last wear this was not considered ad-
4 visable. The climate is not favorable,
and there were fears that they would
not be able to live there. Last year
Portugal gave its consent to the coloni-
zation of Delagoa. 1t had offered free
! transportation and had made arrange
ments to take as many as 1000 in
year. An expedition was about to sail
and orders had been issued for the
/ steamer TO call here and take 200 of the
Portuguese on board, when for some
reason, negotiations were abruptly end
ed.
Negotiations have been had with the
home Government in the present in
stance, and Portugal has consented to
the colonization of Taimoa. The home
Government has instructed Charge
d'Affaires Canayarro, so the gentleman
said, to ascertain from the Portuguese
in Hawaii proposing to emigrate, what
demands will be made upon Portugal
for assurances of a permanent residence
or for assistance in transportation. 1t
is thought that there will be no diff
Guilty when once the island is reached.
1t is not unknown to Portugal. For
hundreds of years the control by Portu-
gal has dominated there. In the 14th
and the 18th centuries, during the pc
riod of Portugals great commercial and
naval activity, Taimoa was one of the
great depots of the world. A
naval station had been established,
and there was a sure haven of refuge
for the Portuguese merchantmen who
sailed in wholesome fear of the pir-
ates, the great devastators of the seas.
Because it is not sailing out into an
untried sea, it is believed that many
Portuguese in Hawaii will wish to
emigrate. The same gentleman who
gave the Advertiser information of the
scheme, stated that it was believed that
already there were at least thousand
Portuguese who would be willing to

to be made upon the home Government
for transportation, should such de-
mands be made.
At the same time, it is also possible
that many of the younger Portuguese
may not care TO leave Hawaii. 1t is
known that there are many Hawaiian
born Portuguese who are confident that
with annexation they will become cit
liens of the United States upon reach
ing their majority Fqi this reason
they may not care to leave Hawaii.
