Under Arrest.

The sal oons of this city have been
running without license since the
tenth day OF this month. This was
known to . great many people, yet no
attempt was made to arrest the owners
OF them until last night
Warrants for their arrest were sworn
out by Night Marshal Mckinney, be
cause Marshal Mann did not perform
his duty as an officer OF the law. A
warrant for the arrest of Marshal Mann
WAS sworn out by E. NJ. Slocomb, for
non pc rformance Of duty and he was
also placed under arrest by Night Mar
shsl Mckinney.
The cases were called for trial this
afternoon before Justice Mann.
Lorin A. Staley appeared on behalf OF
the defendant saloon men and plead not
guilty. Justice Mann fixed the trial OF
James II. Cosgrovs for 3 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon and the balance of the
saloon men at 10 Thursday morning.

SOldiers' Uniforms.

Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, Of the Brit
ish army. has written an article on The
Armies of Today in which he severely
criticises the present uniform of the British
soldier. He thinks that common sense de-
mands radical changes in this uniform.
He first takes exception to the tightly
fitting tunics, which he thinks truss up a
man SO that he cannot do a satisfactory

who would go on walking tour d! essed
as the British soldier is?' Then he says
that the British general looks like a mon
key or q barrel-organ. He thinks that
soldiers, like sailors should be dressed in
a manner beiitting the work they have to
do.
This matter of uniforms may become
rather more important in the future than
it has been in the past. Before the days
of gunpowder, when most fighting WIS
done hand o-hand. it did not so much
matter what the color of a uniform was.

of active campaigning will so thoroughly
demoralize them that they will not again

like military organization.
This is reasonable theory based on the
newspaper dispatches which, unlike the
official reports of Otis, are credited in the

fact that the governor general does not

The Los. of the Charleston.

News of the wreck of the cruiser
Charleston. which came by cable last
night. will be received with deep regret
ern coast of Luzon the vessel ran on a
sunken and doubtless uncharted reef and
was lost
1t seems a pity that our first naval loss
in the Philippines should come now that
the rebellion and disorder in our Eastern
possessions seem almost at an end After
fighting and destroying the Spanish Asiatic
squadron without the sacrifice of ship or
a man, and taking the whole archipelago
without mishap. We are now fated to lose
a valuable cruiser by the merest accident
As readers of The Times will remember,
the Charleston has had short but memoir
able career. Built on the Pacific coast and
armed more heavily than any other vessel
of her class. her big eight-inch guns have
been in evidence in many waters, under
exciting conditions. The Charleston chased
the insurgent Chilean steamer Itata. in
1891, just after completing a twenty-thou-
sand mile run. In 1898 she watched the
revolution in Brazil. She was sent to re-
enforce Admiral Dewey Immediately after
the battle of Manila. Since her attachment
to the Asiatic station the Charleston has
done good service, her most notable
achievement being the capture OF the ISL
and of Guam bloodless adventure how
ever. Our navy, although better than it
once was, is not any too large at the pres
ont time and tbie will ha sod

soon as that can be accomplished with
money, skill. and labor.

LEGISLATION FOR. HAWAII.
senator Clark's Views of What Com
gress VIII Do.

! NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE World
prints the following under a Washington
date:
Senator C. d. Clark, of Wyoming. who
has Just returned from a three months
visit to Hawaii, said to a reporter today:
Congress at its next session will un-
doubtedly enact legislation prescribing a
new form of government for the islands.
They will be given a territorial form of
government. allowing the widest pos ible
leeway in the direction of self government
The form will be more liberal in its ma
ture than that which is now applied to the
people will be allowed all the rights that
will be consistent with their position.
The bill introduced in the Senate dur
ing the last session at the instance of the
Congressional commission which was sent
to Hawaii to investigate affairs in the ISL
and, will be the basis of all legislation.
There will, in all probability, be a fran
chise granted to the people of the islands.
but such franchise will not be universal.
The right Of the people to participate ac-
lively in the government of the islands
will depend somewhat upon their property
qualifications. ~s----is -
my belief is that there will be no lin
itation in franchise as applied to the cleo
tion of members of the lower house of
territorial legislature. All residents will
be allowed to vote for candidates for elec-
tion to this body. But as to the members
Of the territorial senate and other offices
in the executive and judicial departments
of the islands the right to vote may be
limited.
My belief is that the general franchise
will be limited to persons who own prop
erty taxed on minimum valuation basis
of 1900 This will exclude quite a good
many residents, some of whom are native
Kanakas and others Of foreign nationality.
The Cinnamon, of course, will not be al
lowed to vote at any time.
1.-THE contract labor evil Is already a
thing of the past AS soon as the islands
were annexed to the United States our
general laws went into operation there
the planters of the islands to hire labor
that is inferior to the ordinary American
farm laborer. Both the planters and the
merchants are anxious to get the best and
most skilled help possible.
There seems to be a general misunder-
standing in regard to the tariff laws which
are now in operation in the Islands. Now
that Hawaii is part of the United States,
there is, of course, absolute free trade be-
tween the islands and the mainland. but
so far as other countries are >concerned
they must pay the same rate of duty for
the importation OF their goods into Hawaii
as they do for putting them on the mar
kets Of New York or any other State in
the Union

THINGS THEATRICAL.
Columbia Girl in the BaI
racks.v

From farce which Herren Kraatz and

German grammar makes necessary in
speaking of women, called "Das Maodel
ais Rekrut," was manufactured THE Girl
in the Barracks" which was presented last
night at the Columbia, by Louis Mann and
Clara Lpman. Teutonic authors generally
are most scrupulous In owning to the
sources from which they take their plays
but, despite this fact and the claims of the
gentlemen mentioned, 1t Is impossible to
believe that the offering was not first con-
ceived in the mind OF a Frenchman. Its
form Is French throughout. the plan Of
construction being nearly that Of "A Scrap
Of Paper while the work itself rather re-
sembles ''The Champignol malgre lui."
which was known in this country as The
Other Man" But, whatever its origin or
whatever the lightness of its theme. The
Girl In the Barracks" is exceedingly fun
ny. The audience OF yester-evening laugh
ed increasingly at is complications and
drOllery. Louis Mann. Clara Lipman. and
Joseph Coyne are best of the producing
company. the remainder being adequate,
but generally little more. Two matinees.

The Fail of Puerto c.ber,o

The last remnant of the Andrade regime
has been wiped out in the bombardment
and capture of Puerto Cabello and its de-
tenders. As the place was isolated and
;he only one in the country holding out
against the victorious Castro. its devotion
10 destruction by Paredes, who commanded
the forces OF the late government within
ii. was foolish, inexcusable and murderols S.
The result is that a large amount of
real and personal property belonging to
foreign merchants has been ruined or in
1ured, and TO no purpose whatever.
Paroles had every reason to know that he
could not stand siege, and his refusal to
capitulate in the circumstances was crimi-
nal. For his violation of the rules of war
in maltreating military envoy from the
opposition army. who visited him under
flag of truce, Paroles is Likely to get short
shrift from his captors, and nobody wi
feel sorry for him. 1t is proper, however,
TO feel sorry for the innocent people who
have been made to suffer through his
bloodthirsty pig-headedness. Under inter-
national law il is not likely that they wi |
have any redress against the government
of the new dictator, Castro.
The affair OF Puerto Cabello is an addi-
tional reminder that il the American peo-
pie expect TO build up and maintain safe
and valuable trade with the semi-civilized
Latin states of the Western Hemisphere, 1t
will be necessary for our Government to
take a more active and monitory interest
in the question of their good behavior
Otherwise it will happen one OF these days
that a congress will assemble in Europe
TO discuss what ii will term the failure Of
the United States to preserve order and
the safety Of life, commerce, and property

Lafayette-.My Som Benz,

What was practically the first metropoIi-
comedy drama. MY Son Ben." occurred
last night at the Lafayette. John Jack is
the most eommendahl BILE member of an infe-
rior interpreting. company and his work
takes really high rank when contrasted and
compared with similar characterizations.
The remainder of the cast is poor, espe-
cially in the cases Of Everett King. Clara
Rainford. and Edwinn Brewster. The most
praiseworthy OF the women is Adelaide
Thornton. The play is a rehash of all the
previous pastorals OF the decaiie and farther
back than that. The audience did bear
with the piece in pure good nature for the
sake Of the author and of Mr.. Jack. Mr..
Lowry's expressed desire in writing My
Son Ben was to avoid filth and in that he
has succeeded. Two matinees.

audience last night at the National with

Mr. Russell has been unable TO find an a.
ceptable substitute for the E. E. Kidder play
since the days of "A Bachelors Romance" "
and IL the evidences of approval given by
yester-evening's asseniblage may be taken
as a criterion. there is little use of his
pursuing his search further. The support
ing company is not especially good, but
capable enough to provide an enjoyable
performance.

The oldest Book in the world.

Tardy justice is at leagth to be done to an.
other OF the many martyrs Of science in the per-
son of Prise d'Avennes, the discoverer of the
famous maxims of Ptah Hotep which has been
claimed as the oldest book in the world. Prise
d. Avenues was a munifcent donor in his time to
the museums Of Paris, and most patriotically re-
fused all offers from other nations to work for
them as an archaeoloRist when the trade Of ex-
ploring was more highly paid and less crowded
than II is today. He died in poverty at the age
Of seventy two, and his grateful country has now
named a street in Paris after him, and proposes
to place his bust in the Egyptian Museum Of the

MIR. Chamberlain FOrgets.
From the London Chronicle.)

An incident which is probably unique in Mr.,
Chamberlain's Parliamentary experience occurred
Yesterday At one stage OF the colonial secretary's
three hours defence Of his policy in the Trans
vaal he suddenly lost the thread Of the argument
he was pursuing, looked up at the ceiling with
a curious expression, and then exclaimed: Where
was I?'' Mr. Balfour, in an undertone supplied
the cue, and Mr.. Chamberlain. with a jaunty,
..oh yes,'' Immediately recovered himself and re-
sumed at the point where he had left of. The
incident was 50 rapid in its action that it doubt
less escaped general observation.

John Isham to the author of 'Erminie.
II affords opportunity for the singing OF a
thoroughly capable chorus. for foot-racing

and for a great deal of tiresome stuff. 1t
is not at all necessary TO the introduction
of what would make a very passab,e oiio.
Williams and Walker always are funny
for about twenty minutes. and this year
they have several excellent songs, chief
among them their The Ghost of a Coon. -
Matte Wilkes, who has ceased to be the
Indian Princess Yutakme," has a good
voice and the Mallory Brothers and Maize
Brooks are excellent musicians. These
people with the Reese Brothers and Fred
Douglas. George Catlin and others, should
contribute an entertaining vaudeville bill.
There is no reason for surrounding them
with men and women whose vocations
range from laundering to cooking and who
have no business even in so poor farce
as The Policy Players" Yesterdays au
diences enjoyed the performances provided
greatly. Probably they would enj6y them
more in another form.
