DARkCLOUDS MHOR|ZON is A BICYCLE A CARRIAGE
TROUBLE IN THE EAST INDIES
SEEMS IMMINENT.
Leaflets Being Circulated Against the
British Government-Said to Be The
Work of Political Agitators.

CALCUTTA, July ell ?. Mall
sections of this community are in a
state of anxious expectancy as to the
developments of the early future. 1t
is rumored that all the mill hands up
the Hoogly have struck work and they
are preparing to march, 5000 strong,
Government has ordered the militia
to intercept them.
NEW YORY, July 6.-The Herald's
dispatch says: The present anti-Brit-
ish feeling in India is partly due to
inscriptions agitators, who, by
means of seditious leaflets, both in
English and the vernacular, circulated
in Poona, Bombay, and all other points
have melted fanatics to vengeance
against individuals and to attempt a
revolt against the Government.
\ dispatch to the London Mail from
Bombay gives the substance of one
of these pamphlets, which is signed
Three Hundred Millions of Human
Beings" After referring to the ap-
proach of the Jubilee festivities, it re-
viles the Queen and the Government,
and appeals to the civilized nations of
the world to hear the cry of the op-
pressed Indians living in slavery, de-
claring that there are millions of their
Aryan brethren who are more entitled
to their consideration than the inhabi-
tants either of Greece or Asia Minor.
1t asserts that heartless apathy for
the sufferings of the people has been
shown by the invading of Zenanas and
the pollution of temples and mosques
under the preteXt of operations for
suppressing the plague, and continues
as follows
"Not even a demon would venture
to celebrate his conquests in time
of famine, plague and earthquakes.
An ancient and noble nation is being
killed by Christian Government. VIII
none lift finger to check the ex-
cesses of the English tyrants who
have been riding over us roughshod
for more than century?"
The Times of India, referring to the
Poona attacks, says that the facts are
inconsistent with the theory that the
outrages We're actuated by private re-
venge. The journal continues as fol-
lows:
'"The fact that the perpetrators nurs-
ed vengeance long after the plague
operations had been concluded, defer
ring the blow until fhe Jubilee. when
it would be delivered with telling cf-
feet, argues political conception of
which common criminals would be IN
| capable"

TREV|NG LADS CAPTURED
WALKERS STORE ROBBED BY
SCHOOL BOYS.
They Confess the Crime and Restore
the Stolen Representatives. Impli-
Gated in the Confession.

August Schaefer, German lad of
IL years, and Antoine Freitas and Man
uel Madeiros, Portuguese boys of the
sage age, are confined at the station
house on "A charge of having entered
and ransacIed the bicycle store of II.
+ Walker in the Masonic Temple on
Tuesday evening. All have made a
clean breast of the crime, and most of
the stolen property has been recov-
cred.
To Charles Chillingsworth, Deputy
Marshal Hitchcock's clerk, is due the
credit of fixing the crime upon the
boys, but Detective KAPPA captured
the lads and recovered most of the
''swag." Chillingsworth traced the
robbery to Schaefer through the
stolen rings, which were offered for
sale, and Kappa wrung from him the
confession that implicated Madeiros
and Frietas The last named boys
have frequently been in trouble with
the police, having each served short
sentences. Schaefer is a bootblack,
who has long been under surveillance.
He knew where Walker kept his valu-
ables, for the bicycle man frequently
let the boy have wheels to ride and
gave him odd jobs about the place.
The boys say that they were in
duced to rob the store by native man,
who came to them while they were
attending the japanese theater. They
deny having taken the square gold
cash. Schaefer says he did not take
the money, but thinks that his com,
panions returned to the store after he
parted company with them.
The native the boys accuse of
tempting them to rob the store was
Detective Kaapa's informant. He has
bee held for investigation. The
watch and rings are the only missing
articles that have been recovered thus
far.

IF IT IS NOT IT CAN ENTER DUTY
FREE.
Deputy Collector General McStocker
Gives Some Information on the
Point-Bikes to Be Cheaper.

If the wheelmen of Honolulu can
advance convincing arguments that
their machines are not carriages, it is
just possible that the customs depart
ment will have them classified as iron
and steel in order that they might
come into the islands duty free.
Information has already gone forth
to the National Board of Cycle Manu-.
facturers to the effect that bicycles
which have heretofore been free of
duty in the Hawaiian Islands have,
by new ruling of the customs
authorities, been classed as carriages,
upon which a duty of 25 per cent ad
valorum is levied.
Deputy Collector General McStocker
gives a clearer meaning of the ruling
when he says:
"On August 13, 1892, the Hawaiian
Legislature passed a tariff act to
amend Chapter 2S of the Session Laws
of 1873 relating to duties on carriages
of all descriptions. The duty at that
time was 25 per cent. Mr.. Cleghorn
at that time Collector General, ruled
that bicycles were carriages and as
such were subject to the duty.
"This ruling was appealed and fin
ally on December 10 of the same year
separate act was passed to the eff
feet that bikes should be cIassed as
carriages and should only be subject
to special duty of 10 per cent, and
as such the law stands today"
BY the Gaelic it is also learned that
the Pope Manufacturing Company
has made the announcement that IT'S
first-class Columbia bicycles would be
sold for $75 after July 1. The papers
have been much impressed by this an
nouncement and have stated that it
would "cause a panic among wheel
men and manufacturers"
Wheelmen in the islands should not
be surprised if high grade machines
are selling in Honolulu next season
for $75 or a little more.

A. S. HARTWELL AND KINNEY AND
BALLOU RETAINED.
The Corporations to Make a Fight
Upon Constitutionality of Lava
Strong Defense.

The opponents of the income tax
have retained General A. S. Hartwell
and Kinney & Ballou to fight the Gov
ernment in its efforts to maintain the
law.
These attorneys have already held
brief consultations and have practical
ly agreed upon plans of procedure. 1t
is understood that an effort will be
made to have the question brought
squarely before the highest tribunal
in the islands for it's determination.
However, this plan has not been def
nitely decided upon as yet.
1t is the corporations mainly that
are opposing the tax. The subscrip-
ton paper has been circulated and
many firms and individuals have gone
into the compact. There has been a
sufficient amount of money raised to
conduct a proper and vigorous fight
against the law.
AS the return of the tax on income
can De nldue during lue lliOhth VI
August and the payment need not be
made until November Is, the Govern
ment has made no preparation as yet
for the defense of the law. However,
counsel will be employed to assist the
Attorney General in due time.
1t is known that the present Admin
istration believes sincerely in the law
and will put up a strong defense for
it.
The Star is informed by counsel for
the taxpayers who will test the val
idity of the law that the objections
to the law which they will present to
the Court are to be based soley on
constitutional grounds.
General Hartwell announces that he
is personally in favor of an income
tax and also a progressive tax, which
he considers, as he says, to be the most
equitable method of taxation. The
only question in the present law is
whether it is so drawn as to conform
with the requirements of the consti-
tuition.

DIR. BROWN SYMPATHISES.
The Island Teachers Have an Import
ant Duty to Perform.

The longer | stay here the more 1
am weighed down with the sense of
the tremendous work you have to per-
form here" said DR.. Brown to those
who attended the Summer School this
morning.
perhaps it may not be out of place
to know that stranger sympathises
with you. | think | can guess at the
difficulty; the difficulty of language
that is always forcing it to the front,
is not the greatest; there are things
of greater Importance than language,
arithmetic, geography, grammar.
There is the difficulty that relates to
the making of character.
"Do you know that you cannot eX-
pect to make great progress unless
you have great deal to give to the
pupils. The thing that is needed is
not to teach morals, but to put some
vitality into their morals and the only
way to do this is to have a large sup
ply ourselves to draw from.
Get as much of the fulness of spirit
ual life as you can. If you have pat
riotism do not feed the children on
stones; see that you have the bread of
life to give to them.
"This should be considered not
merely as duty, but as a noble privil-
ege. 1t is possible to go on in literary
culture and moral culture, admring
more beautiful and spiritual things,
growing from day to day, so that the
children see that the teacher is grow
ing, enlarging, having more to give
and so having the delight and joy of
giving"
