the Ministers of the Tsungli Namen,
and was between the Chinese govern
ment and the Picking Syndicate, Linn
tied, of London. According to Consul
Ragsdale il is the first concession ev-
er granted by the Imperial Chinese
government to a foreign syndicate by
the terms of which foreigners have
the right, for commercial purposes, to
own real estate in the interior of Chi
ma, open and operate mines and con-
struct and maintain railways.
OF course this marked an era in the
industrial policy of China, and was
one of the things that undoubtedly
led to the present reaction. But the
Picking Syndicate is not likely to very
torn up. The syndicate is composed
chiefly of British and Italians and the
few men who control it are immense
ly wealthy, the capital is $3O,OOO,OoO,
and considerable amount of money
had to be spent at the outset in order
to get the concession through
This certainly will form one of a
mass of objections to be made to any
reactionary methods. So wealthy
and powerful a body as this will not
see the fruit of its scheming and la
Dor dashed aside to please the Chinese
Conservative party. The rights of the
! syndicate will be asserted, and both
the British and Italian governments
will be appealed to.
China is in such a position that she
cannot recede from the bargains she
has made except at the price of a war
which she cannot wage. The upshot
of the action of the Dowager Empress
may, however, be the disintegration
of the Empire. 1t will not be the
first time that the wrong-headedness
of woman has proved a death blow
to her dynasty.

KING-WILCOX EPISODE.

The publication of the correspond
ence between General King and
Judge Wilcox of the Honolulu police
court throws the matter open to pub
lie discussion.
There can be no doubt that the
but there also can be no doubt but
that they were deserved.
Had the two young officers who ter
rorized the town a few nights ago
been private citizens instead of
wearing the shoulder straps of
the government of Uncle Sam, they
would have found themselves in Jail
in short order. And the fact that the
military at that time had practical
immunity from arrest only empha-
sized the duty of the officers to be-
have themselves, and if they failed to
behave themselves, emphasized the
duty of their superior officers to take
cognizance of the offense.
With such precedent before him
Judge Wilcox was perfectly justified
in making the remarks that he did,
and by inficting a severe penalty on
the soldiers to clearly show that the
civil power meant to be obeyed. In
this Judge Wilcox has the sympathy
and the support of all the right
thinking people of the community. 1t
is surprising how unanimous the
opinion in his favor is.
In his letter of reply to General
King, Judge Wilcox does not modify
what he said in the least, but claims
that in two instances he was misrepor-
ted. Upon this interpreting, the
morning journal, which itself com
mitted the error, based an attack on
the judge for making statements that
were not facts. Comment is superflu-
Gus upon the conduct of a journal
which does this kind of thing, and
further which turns such a complete
somersault as it did. For a while ago
who was loud mouthed calling foi
courtsmartial and denouncing the con
duct of officers?
Judge WilcoXs position is a strong
one, and he has not only shown him
self worthy and an impartial judge
but he has shown himself to be q
man who, having Expressed an opin
ion, is willing to abide by it.

Talk of Hawaiian productiveness
it is not in it with Bermuda. Accord
ed in tomatoes yielded a crop worth
$500, and an acre of lilies brought
return of $500. In point of fact lilies
are one of the principal crops of the
islands. They reach New York when
no other flowers do. The run be-
tween ports is little more than two
days. But with ice facilities there is
no reason why Hawaiian flowers
should not be sent to the coast at the
time they are needed. Our flowers
are always with us.

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features, she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity
In her step, the ring Of her voice,
her enjoyment Of life-all these are
magnets which draw others to her
side. Wonderful and valuable as it
is, health is not so difficult a thing
to obtain as some discouraged ones
think. Most of the troubles Of women
arise from impure blood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality, and general
debility. Modern science furnishes
the most successful of remedies for
this ondition-namely

DEFENSE OF MACCABEES
A TEST QUESTION OF LIFE INSUR-
ANCE UP IN THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Society Resists Payment Because the
Insured Was a saloon Kceper-Suit
Against MaIpas Estate.

The suit of Mrs. Sarah A. Balkert against
the knights of the Maccabees went to trial
in the Circuit Court yesterday before a
jury. The plaintiff is suing to recover the
amount of the insurance policy held by her
first husband, Thomas H. Powell, who died
in August 1895. Mr.. Powell was member
of the knights of the Maccabees and held
an insurance policy for $1,000 in the order.
He was engaged in the saloon business at
the time of his death, and it is because of
this fact that the defendant is resisting pay
rules of the order were changed some time
before Powell became a member so as to
prevent the admission to the society of sa-
loon keepers. The rules, however, did not
provide for the expulsion of those members
already engaged in the liquor business
Powell, at the time he received his policy
was not a saloon keeper, but afterward en-
gagged in the business. 1t is averred by the
defense that he understood the rules of the
order when he received his policy, and that
when he went into the liquor trade he for
feited his right to benefits. The PLAINTIFF s
attorneys contend that the secretary of the
order received dues from Powell after he
became a saloon keeper, and that the officers
were well aware of the character of the
business. Secretary Daugherty says he did
not know that Powell was a saloon
keeper. There are number OF saloon
men of the city IN the order and they are
taking an active interest in the trial. 1t is
the contention of the defense that these
men were members before the change in the
rules was made, and hence could not
be affected by the change. The new regu-
lations only provided that no more saloon
men should join the knights of the Macca-
bees.

YOUNG MERRIAM EXoNERATED
General Kings Report ON the Homo
lulu artiaI Law Incident.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19-Major Cen
eral Merriam has received the official re-
port of Brigadier General King command
ing at Honolulu. 1t contains much inter-
esting data concerning the health and dis
cipline CT the troops and an account of the
recent disturbance that occurred between
the soldiers and citizens. The report COM
pletely exonerates Lieutenant Merriam, son
Of General Merriam, who was reported to
have been under the influence of liquor and
TO have behaved in a manner unbecoming
an officer and a gentleman.
The steamer Mariposa, from Australia
and Honolulu. arrived to-day bringing the
following advices from Honolulu, under
date of Oct. II:
Private James NJ. Wall. Company c, SEN
enty-first New York, is in the general hos
pital, parayzed from head to foot. His
condition is due to a dive in shallow water,
his head coming in contact with rock at
the bottom. He will, recover.

serving prisoners. There is not the neces-
sary watchfulness on the part of the police,
which alone can guard society from the
paroled convict. He is allowed to do much
as he pleases. Colonel FELTON, thinks that
when a prisoner is released on parole word
city where the man is to go. and the chief
should detail some officer TO look after him.
The police should help him get work if
possible. If a man is incorrigible he should
be sentenced to prison fOr a long term Of
years. Then he would not look forward to
release and there would be an opportunity
TO start him in good habits. Diet and man
ual training might change him physically
and mentally.
Colonel Feltons paper spoke strongly in
ment. 1t stated that the present civil serv
ice, as adopted in many of the cities, is
very faulty. The practice Of retiring men
on half pay, unless their services are in
some manner retained. Colonel FELTON, re-
garded as a mistake Detectives too often
the proofs of innocence. Too frequently
people are arrested because some disease
gives their conduct an appearance of dis
orderliness. There is lack of concert be-
tween the police forces in different cities;
Each force has limited jurisdiction, and
scope is given for work by private de-
tectives who have no limits.
Colonel FELTON, advocated also the adop-
ton of the BerJillon system Of identification.
He knew from personal investigation that
the formation of the head and the length of
the arms seldom change after a man is
twenty-One years Old All men should have
the measurements taken, whether rogues or
not, and much trouble could be averted If
this became a practice.
The meeting closed with q general discus
sion of the paper. The board of directors
held a short session at o'clock No i'm
portant business was transacted.
