RETURNED FROM HAWAII.
Visiting congressman Enjoyed
Their Trip.

Congressmen Cannon, Berry, Tawn-
ev and Laudenslager returned from
their flying trip to the Volcano and
the coffee district Saturday night.
Their stay on Hawaii was necessarily
short but they were given every op-
portunity to see everything along the
coast before they landed, and from
HiIo to the upland districts. They
found everybody in working clothes
along the route, excepting on their re-
turn to Hilo when a public reception
was given them at the hotel just be-
fore the Claudine started on her re-
+11rn voyage to Honolulu.
They were we'll pleased with what
thew saw on Hawaii. The undeveloped
land was before them, and the men
who had rescued land from the wild
state and had been successful, the men
who knew what difficulties there are
in developing coffee to a bearing state,
were there on the ground and could
tell them the possibilities of the coun-
trv. and what persistent labor and pa
tience has accomplished.
In Hilo the Congressman expressed
themselves as satisfied with what they
had seen of the country. They be-
Iieyed there was a great opportunity
for the American agricultural laborer.
Their sight seeing in Honolulu has
already begun. At an early hour yes
terday morning they started up Tan

Hits United States Hard.


OTTAWA, Ont. April 23-The new
tariff bill in such as will hit the United
States pretty hard. In that regard
it is popular here, but doubly so on
account Of the preference it makes in
favor of British goods. The prefer
entail terms for Great Britain and
other countries disposed to receive
Canadian products at favorable rates
the finance minister explained in par
hament, would be, the first year, re-
ductions from the general list of one
eighth; after that period they would
be one-quarter of the rates in the
general tariff. These reductions would
apply to all schedules, except those
imposing duties intended for revenue
on such articles as wines. tobacco,
cigars and cigarettes.
The finance minister further an
nounced that when it was proved that
there was a combination unduly to
raise the price of any article, which
had the advantage of the protection
afforded by the tariff, it would be pos.
sible, through an order in council, to
place that article on the free list and
give the public the benefit of competi-
ton from the outside.

Warlike Speech by Cape Colony Premier

CAPE TOWN. April 23.-In the Cape
parliament the debate on the so-called
peace motion" adjourned on April
16, was resumed. The motion in ques-
tion urged the adoption Of a policy Of
moderation and concicliation in the
settlement Of differences in the inter-
probation of treaties and conventions
An amendment was introduced to the
effect that the ends desired would be
best attained by strict observance Of
the London convention and by the
redress Of the genuine grievances of
the Uitlanders.
Sir j. Gordon Sprigg, the premier
said today that the way for the Trans
Vaal republic to subdue the existing
excitement was to redress the griev-
ances of the Ultlanders. He did not be-
lieve there would be war, because he
could not see how it was going to arise,
though he admitted that the building
of forts and the importing of ammuni-

Supplies for His Army Captured by

ATHENS, April %. 3 a. m-After the
bombardment Of Katrina, on the Gulf
of Salonica, by the Greek squadron,
had put to fight two battalions of
Turks and the inhabitants of that
place the Greek fleet landed a de-
tachment and found the Turks had
left behind them immense stores of
provisions destined for the army of
Edhem Pasha. These valuable stores
had been left almost unprotected in
the belief by the Turks that a block
ade of Greece by the fleets of the
powers would prevent the Greek fleet
from attacking the Turkish towns on
the Gulf Of Salonica, which are near
the railroad to Salonica, and which
have been used as points to land stores
for the Turkish army and forward
them to the front.
The capture of these towns, not to
mention the loss of the stores, places
a difficulty in the path of Edhem Pasha.
and it is stated here that as soon as
the Turkish cOmmander-in-ch heard
the news of the capture of Platamona
ard Katrina he dispatched 10000 men
towards the coast of Macedonia, fear

DEFENSE OF ARTA,
Turks Driven Back by a Murderous
Rifle Fire

ATHENS, April 23.-During the fight
ing on Tuesday, the Turks at daybreaK *
attempted to rush the bridge and cap
ture Arta by assault. Their artillery
had been secretly brought up during
the night and placed in position on
commanding elevations opposite the
town. Under cover of a furious can
nonade, the Turks advanced upon the
bridge, and were received with a mur-
derous rifle fire from the Greeks. The
Turks made several attempts to cross
the bridge, but in spite of their des-
perate efforts they never succeeded
IN getting further than the center of
the bridge. There the Turkish com
mander fell dead, and, under the ter
rible fire of the Greeks, the Turks fell
back in dismay. Some time after
wards the Turkish guns We're silenced.
In spite Of this reverse, the Turks
renewed the assault during the after
noon, and further desperate fighting
followed. The Greeks, sheltered in
their trenches, fought gallantly and
held their own, although, since the out
break Of hostilities on Sunday. the
Greeks had not for a moment quilted
their posts in the trenches.
Stories of Turkish atrocities are cur-
rent here. A Greek officer, who sa rs
he was an eye witness of the affair
asserts that in the attack which the
Turks made upon the Greek positions
west of Arta, a number of CAPTURED
Christian women were marched in fron4
of the Turkish lines, in expectatior
that the Greeks would refrain from re-
turning the fire Of the Turks. for fear
of wounding the women
AdVices received here TODAY from

arming themselves to do LATHE with

the last thing the imperial govern
ment desired was war, and, he added,
if war occurred, it would be the fault
of the Transvaal Great Britain was
determined to maintain the London
convention and her position as the
paramount power in Africa. Trans
Vaal autonomy, he asserted, was not
worth a years purchase without the
protection of Great Britain.
Mr.. Sauer condemned the attitude
Of the premier and suggested arbitra-
tion, adding that if Great Britain used
force it would mean civil war. W. P.
Schriener, the former attorney gen
eral of Cape Colony, said he did not
agree with the martial utterances of
the premier Continuing Mr.. Schriener
remarked that the situation was full
of ominous clouds, and he expressed
the hope that the lightning would not
strike.

said there should be a readjustment OF
the patronage of the places which
would insure to each member his full
share in accordance with the arrange
ment of two years ago. Speeches
favorable to the acceptance Of the
Democratic proposition were made by
Senators Allison, Mcmillan, Lodge and
Spooner, ard in opposition by Senators
Chandler, Wolcott and Proctor The
only new senators who expressed them
selves were Messrs. Mason and Fair
banks, who advocated acceptance.
Their speeches had considerable in
fuence in determining the result, as
all felt that the principal object of the
change was to give the new senators
committee places, The vacancies in
chairmanships to be filled are the fol-
lowing: Coast defenses, examination
of the several branches Of the civil
service, naval affairs. privileges and
elections, public lands territories and

Hale will be assigned to that at the
head of naval affairs, Senator Chandler
