TROLLEY FOR JAPAN.

CHICAGO, November 1.-The Sic

America is considering a proposition
from the Japanese Government to
form in Chicago a syndicate with a
capitalization of about $4,000 900 to
install and operate all electric street

ALL BUT A WRECK
Report of Surveyors on
Condition of Columbia.
Severe Straining Leaves Its Marks.
Broken Pipes - An the Fire
ROOm-Shaft AIIey-Leak.

Following is the report Of the three
HiIo experts who surveyed the dis
abled steamer City OF Columbia:
ON the upper deck We found eyi-
dence of severe straining. The butts
started in covering board amidships
and the covering board split by the
strain on the funnel guys. The for
ward deck house badly bumped amid
ships and the canvas covering on the
deck wrinkIed and wrenched
ON the main deck, port waterway
broken right across amidships and all
butts on both sides badly started by
working of the ship.
In the engine room we found every
indication of very severe sraining;
several pipes broken and main steam
pipe having worked so as to tear out
the bolts from the stays holding it in
place
The discharge pipe of condenser,
made of copper, with expansion flange.
was broken right across and the engine
room bulkheads were badly started.
In the fire room the boilers had
started their fastenings and bad leak
was found.
In the shaft alley aft the water was
rushing in very badly through the
deadwood, which was split by the
wrenching of the stern.
In between decks several ports
were broken and leaking, caused by
the wrenching of the hull.
The vessel was leaking at the rate
of six inches hourly, but at sea made
about three feet per hour by report of
captain and chief engineer.
After examination, interviewed all
the deck officers and engineers and
they unanimously pronounced the ship
unfit in their opinion to leave Hilo
even for Honolulu and stated that they
would refuse to proceed any further in
the ship.
We are of the opinion that the YES
sci is practically broken backed and
unfit for sea. and we are further of the
opinion that the cost of repairing and
getting her ready for sea, even in a
port where facilities are good, would
amount to more and than the repaired
value OF the ship and therefore recon-
mend that she be condemned.
In confirmation of which we are
willing, if required to attest.
Given under our hands at Hilo, this

IN TIME OF WAR.
Private Property Should
Be Free From Capture.
Memorial From an international
tration-The Paris Convention.

WASHINGTON. Nov. "a memorial
prepared by Charles Henry Butler and
Iothers has been presented TO the Presi-
dent asking that this Government call
an international convention to consider
the question of making private prop
lerty free from capture on the high seas
in time OF war. The memorial pays a
tribute 20 the Administration on the
humane and especially successful pros
iecution of the recent war and points
out that this Government is in the best
position of any power AT present TO
take the initiative in such a humane
movement without laying itself open
to the imputation of selfshness. The
memorial gives an interesting resume
of this country's advocacy of free ships
and free foods and quotes the famous
Paris convention. which il Will be re-
membered. Is as follows:
l. Privateering is and remains ab0I-
Iished.
,. The neutral law covers the enc
my's goods with the exception of con
Itraband of war.
8. Neutral goods. except contraband
of war, are not liable 10 capture under
an enemy's flag.
l. Blockades to be binding must be
efective-that is to say, maintained
by a force really sufficient to prevent
access TO the enemy's coast.
The memorial urges that interna-
tional law should be amended to not
only include all the above but to eX-
cept all private property from capture
except contraband of war. 1t is pointed
out that the present threatening aspect
of European politics would make this
move by the United States particularly
acceptable TO the remainder of the
world at this time, and beside saving
untold loss and suffering by innocent
nOn-combatant in a general war would
stand forever as another of the many
strong claims that this country holds
upon the gratitude of the civilized
world.

FRANCES BACKDOWN.

Great Britain Aiming for Something
Else
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The fact that
the complete backdown of France on
the Nile, which has been known for
several days, has not checked British
mobilization, is causing genuine alarm,
especially in st. Petersburg.
The explanation which has probably
the widest acceptance in Paris. is that
England has decided TO accept the
French challenge and. as reported after
last weeks Cabinet council. will soon
declare a prOtectorate over Egypt. St.
Petersburg, however, has better reason
for believing that Great Britain has at
last decided upon aggressive resistance
to Russian schemes in China.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-The banquet
given to Gen. Kitchener at the Man
sion House tonight was an exception
ally brilliant affair.
The assembly greeted the rising Of
the Marquis of Salisbury TO toast the
Sirdar with nervous silence, as it had
been whispered that he had an import
ant and grave statement to make. His
statement was important, hut it was
pacific, as he announced a settlement

An Irish Schoolhouse.

Nearly every day saw the chill

and mot thcm returning in the
evening. Their aspect had. the
same untamed wildness then that it
had as l saw them running about

the home village, is the comment OF

house was four miles distant alon.

the dun marshes. The children
went barefoot and barehcadcd, ex-
cept for Il few of the older boys,
who woro caps. They each carried
a pieco of dry bread for their noon
lunch, and that was all the food
they had till they returned homo
late in the afternoon. But, with all
their hardships, they looked sturdy
and healthy. Probably wcaklings
do not survive long. Once I noticed
that boy in Il group Of children
returning from school carried u
book, and asked TO see if. It was
a most forlorn little third reader,
a wreck Of bOok-covers broken,
marked and greasy within, and
many pages gone Or torn.

ern building, with gray plaster
walls. 1t stood in the center of O
rough, rocky yard that was sur
rounded by high stono wall. Out
