Of Impending Trouble Between Two

Japan Must Strike
Quickly if at All.

IfIt Had Such Intention.

London, November 1S.-Careful In
quiriss made by the Associated Press re-
veal nothing extant In diplomatic circles
here +, justify the alarmist view taken by
q section of the press regarding the situa-
ton In the far East. That serious de-
nouenent IL 90 close at hand M 10 In.
dicat~d BY advices from Shanghai during
the last twenty -four hours, Is regarded as
incredible. For q long time 1t has hesn
known hsre-and it was asserted in As
sociated Press dc sspatches two months ago
that China and Japan were olossly
allied but neither British nor American
diplomats In London believe that this
alliance is of an offensive nature.
AT any rat. 1t can he asserted positively
that II Japan and China contemplate ag-
ereesive action against Russia, Lord
salisbury is not aware of their Intention
and 1t Is scarcely probable that those
powers would decide upon any definite
course without at least consulting Great
Britain, who In the nature Of things
would be their ally whether active or pas
sivs.
However. while the foreign otiice
officials have no Information tending 70
confirm recent sensational reports. they
have come to regard the eastern problem
ne no diffisrlt 10 respect Of Getting accu-
rate information that they would bs sur
prised at nothing. They have eudeavored
to take precautions against every. hing.

According to Consul General Convey
the demand for butchers meat in To-
kyo is constantly increasing. There
were slaughtered for consumption last
year q, 545 head of animals. OF these
1854 were cattle, 5,7S4 were swine and
5,0G6 were horses and ! sheep. Horse
flesh is in considerable demand and is
growing in favor. The consul general
calculates that at the present time over
900 head a month are being slaughter
ed. When all Honolulu has taken to

cars are run by compressed aid, there
will be a grand opportunity for work.

PEACEFUL RUSSIA.

Consul General Holloway, writing
from st. Petersburg, at the close of
last year, to his government in Wash
ington, said
II am informed that the Russian
Government recently contracted q
loan of los, 100000 rubles 1855, 512 ,000) in
France, to be used in replacing her ar
tillery with rapid fire small caliber
guns. The trials by experts have been
concluded, and the report is said TO
be in favor of the manufacture of a
gun embracing the best points of a
number tested. AS 5000 guns will be
required within the next two years,
and Russia will not be able to manu-
facture that number, contracts will be
made with foreign firms to furnish the
remainder"
That does not look very peaceful,
certainly.

The automobile or horseless carriage
has not made much Roadway in the
United States up to the present, though
it is very popular on the continent of
Europe, especially in France, and is
used to some extent in Great Britain.
The objection has been to the expense
involved in the electric motor. 1t is
now claimed that compressed air pow
err is the solution of the problem in
volved. This is to be applied to horse
less wagons and trucks for business
purposes. A thorough test of these
carriages was to be made in New York
during the last week in January. If it
should prove successful Honolulu is go
ahead enough to be soon supplied with
the new invention.

ADMIRAL BEREsFoRD.

The arrival of Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford has been welcomed by the
British section of the community with
an address and other appropriate
marks of the esteem in which this gal
liant officer and distinguished states
man is held by his countrymen. But 1t
is not only his own countrymen who
admire Lord Charles, the American
community are interested in him and
honor him for his manliness and his
many excellent qualities, which appeal
not only to his own nation, but to those
who are allied in blood to his race.
The object of Lord Charles Beres-
fords tour in the east has been in the
interests of trade and the commercial
relations of the United Kingdom. He
goes home with very full information
upon the subject. He will also return
with a full knowledge of the views of
the people of the United States upon
the eastern trade. He has today land
ed upon the most western outpost of
the Great Republic, and both here and
on the Pacific coast he can learn much
of the energy which is being put forth
in order to get an adequate share of
the great transatlantic trade.
All classes of the community will
join together in welcoming our disting
uished visitor, and in hoping that in
the words of the address there may be
"a compact union of sentiment and in
terest between the two great English
speaking nations"

TWELVE UNKNOWN. "

Causes of death-"Unknown, r."
The Board of Health officials keep
calmly giving burial certificates in
cases where the cause of death is UNI
known and presumably will do so UNI
til public opinion becomes unanimous
enough to force a change. To deal with
this portion of the mOrtunary report is
only to repeat arguments which have
been used i'm these columns for over
two years past, and in those
of the Gazette during the eighties, till
they have become trite. But trite as
they may be they are perfectly true. IT
is an absolute disgrace to the Board of
Health that month after month APP

cause of death. Every death from an
unknown cause should be investigated.

old natives of the Hawaiian

are very few now in existence
1t is claimed that there are
only two old natives now liv-

make perfectly comfortable

on the island of Hawaii and
the other on Kauai. Unfor-

we cannot compare the births with the
deaths. If we could, and If the Ha-
waiian and part Hawaiian were sep
arated, as they should be, it would be
possible to write some very forcible
remarks and perhaps to point out some
means by which the present large death
rate of Hawaiians might be in some
measure combatted and decreased.

Turkeys Trq olsed BY Dogs.

The wild turkey in the Ozarks is
now hunted with slow tracking dog,
and whole flocks ere often killed in
this way Till the trained dog was en-
ployed to follow up the wary bird this
game fowl could battle the most skill
full hunter. Now when a flock of tur-
keys is found the sportsman has little
difficulty. A good dog will follow q
turkey track that is three or four hours
old, and set the birds when overtaken,
Just as the pointss Gees the quail.
After the turkey had been chased
awhile it hides in tree or under a log,
and stays there until the hunter,
guided by his dog, comes within close
range.
It IS astonishing what fine instinct a
good turkey dog will develop after a
few months of training in the woods.
He will follow 1ock of turkeys for
hours Just ahead of the hunter. and in
dicate by unmistaIable signs when the
game is near. After a turkey has re-
ceived a fatal shot = may fly for half
a mile or more. \ trained dog will go
straight to a wounded or dead turkey
with the same precision with which he
tracks the game.
