TWO POINTED QUESTIONS AN
SEVERED

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Answer.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy only
the better, so that while our profits
may be smaller on a single sale they
will be much greater in the aggre-
gate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use the better one.

TWELVE CHINESE EXCLUDED
NOT PERMITTED TO LAND FROM
THE pEKING.
Did Not Have the Qualifications Nee
essary Under United States Law
win be Returned to China.

Twelve of the twenty Chinese arriv-
ing by the City of Picking have been
refused landing by the customs Off
Ger and Special Chinese Agent Brown,
acting as "A board of immigration.
The twelve all had Hawaiian per-
mits to return, but they did not have
the qualifications which would have
entitled them to a permit to return
under the United States law. Those
rejected will be required to be return
ed to China by the steamship compa-
ny which brought them.
To many of those rejected their in
ability to return will be a serious
hardship. Some of them have lived
here a number of years and look on
Hawaii as their home. But in every
case they were not rejected until it
was clear that in no way were they
entitled to land under the law. In
every case where the Chinese had the
necessary qualifications under the law
even though some of the technical re-
quirements of documentary proof
were lacking, he was given the benefit
of the doubt.
In brief the regulations relating to
the return of Chinese to Hawaii are
these. Only laborers are required to
have permits to return. To be entitl-
ed to such a permit a Chinese labor
er must leave here $1,000 in money or
property, of collectible debts due him
to that amount, or a parent. child or
legal wife. The permit is good only
for one year. Subject to approval by
the department at Washington, Collec-
tor General McStocker and Special
Agent Brown, construe the law to en-
title a woman to a return permit if
she leaves a husband here.
The exempt classes are merchants,
travellers for pleasure or curiosity,
teachers and students. These may
travel at will. but must be identified
as belonging to the class they claim
to be by certificate to that effect
from their own government, vised by
the American consul in the district
from which they come. But in the
case of merchants resident here salts
factory proof that they are such will
| be accepted.
| Chinese who have been naturalized
as HawaiianS, and Hawaiian born Chi
nese are held to be entitled to travel
at will and return to Hawaii. when
properly identified.

FIRST POINT
Is Suing JOrian For False
Imprisonment.
CLAIMS $500 DAMAGES.
Court Sustains His Demurrer to
the Plant ifl's Plea.
IMPORTANT OPINION RENDERED
IMPORTANT OPINION RENDERED

The Appellate Court today sustained
the plaintiffs demurrer to the defend
ants plea in the case Of Henry Wills
VS.. Andrew r.. Jordan. Chief Justice
Matteson, who writes the opinion of
the court, says: "This is an action of
trespass for false Imprisonment. The
defendant pleads in justification that
he Is constable. and that he arrested
the plaintiff on reasonable and just
suspicion that the plaintiff had been
one OF the principals in the commits
sion of burglary, and on the infor-
nation given him by two others who
were also principals in the crime and
had confessed their guilt. The plain
tiff demurs to the plea, and assigns as
ground of demurrer that the plea
does not state specific grounds suffi-
cient to warrant the defendant in
having suspected the plaintiff to be a
principal in the felony mentioned in
the plea.
The demurrer admits the allegation
OF the commission of the felony set
forth in the plea, so that the question
resolves itself into this Did the in
formation given to the defendant by
ehc tnO hith WIN udQ Dttn arrested Tor
the crime, and who had confessed
their guilt, Justify reasonable sus-
picion of the plaintiffs guilt?
I'm Murfree on sheriffs, sec. 1161, it
Is stated that an officer may arrest
without warrant on reasonable sus-
picion, founded either on his own
knowledge or information from others.
that a felony has been committed We
think, however, that to justify an off,
Ger in acting on the bare information
which he receives from others, the
information must come from creditable
persons"
The opinion concludes: I'VE do not
think that the mere statement OF one
confessing himself guilty OF felony,
uncorroborated by trustworthy infor-
nation from others or by any fact or
circumstances affording reasonable
ground OF suspicion against the plain
tin. was sufficient to Justify the de-
fendant I'm arresting him, and therefore
our opinion is that the demurrer
should be sustained and the plea over
ruled"
Wills sues Jordan, who is a Westerly
officer, to recover $2500. and his attor-
ney is Arthur Gushing.

RESISTANCE
WOULD BE ABSURD

With the American army controlling
Santiago, however. further resistance
by the harbor batteries would be abb
surd and their surrender undoubtedly
would quickly follow Gen. Skaters
occupation OF the town, If, indeed the
sea front fortifications and all others
are not included in the city's capitula-
ton.
When Gen. Toral on Monday last re-
fused absolutely to consider the terms
OF unconditional surrender and when
at an end, it was believed that the TAX
ing of the city without further fighting
was an impossibility. The artillery OF
the federal forces was ordered to be
rushed to the front, the investing line
was extended to hem in the town COM
pletely. and every precautfon was made
for the final assault.
Acting under instructions from Wash
ington. however. Gen. Shafter again
proposed surrender yesterday, and at
conference at which Gen. Miles and
Gen. Toral were present, 1t was pro-
posed TO allow the Spanish officers to
retain their side arms. and the Amer
lean commander offered to send the de-
feated army to Spain under convoy and
on parole.

have only Just begun. The refusal Of
the Spanish to surrender had been SO
emphatic and so recent that both the
army and navy had forsaken the idea
of victory without further bioodshed.
and noon today had been set for the
final desperate assault upon the stub
born defences of the city. That its
Notifications were strong and that its
forces were brave all knew, and today
had been looked forward to as likely
to be the bloodiest in the history of the
campaign. and when soon after 2
o'clock this afternoon Admiral Samp-
son received by signal the fact that
General Toral had surrendered. Ad-
miral Sampson and his officers scarce
fy credited the story.
Whether MORO castle and the bat
teries above the harbor will also sur
render is, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. d
matter of conjecture. At that point
the Spanish flag still fioated above
Morro castle and the Spanish forces
still clustered about the earthworks
and batteries.

AN ORDER FOR
ATTACK ISSUED

The story OF the conference has al
ready been told. Gen. Toral's an
nouncement that the matter would
have to be referred to his government
convinced the majority OF the officers
at headquarters that nothing further
would come of the negotiations. and
an order was issued to prepare for q
general attack at noon to-day, at which
