The mainland papers are full of the
story of the swindling schemes of Will
liam Miller, who has been having a
meteoric career in Brooklyn. Miller
opened a bank and agreed to pay 10
per cent week on deposits. He met
the interest demands promptly with
the result that gold and greenbacks
flowed in much faster than they went
out. In fact so much money was de-
posted that barrels were brought into
the bank from the cellar and filled to
the brim. Finally the police got ready
to raid the place whereupon Miller es-
capped to parts unknown carrying the
greater part of the banks resources
with him. 1t is said that. in few
weeks time, his bank took in $4,000
900. The scheme was a very simple
one but 1t never needs a fancy hook to
catch gudgeons.

Some men are born great, some
achieve greatness and some have great
ness thrust upon them. Genial Sam
Parker belongs in the latter class. Just
now he is figuring in the Washington
papers as Governor Parker OF Ha-

staying at the Coronado Hotel the
Southern California papers referred to
Samuel Parker and later on as Ka-

There is law Of the road in Hawaii
but there is no penalty for disobeying
1t. The law was framed, in the opin-
ion of Marshal Brown, to fix the civil
status Of parties to an accident. 1t Is
not now possible to arrest anyone for
driving on the wrong side or turning
out the wrong way, but it probably
will be when Hawaii gets a chance to
enact more statutes. In the meantime
people of sense and breeding will not
transgress the conventional
rules of highway etiquette.

The autumn maneuvers of the Jap
anese army are managed with the view
Of solving problems that would come
up in case of war with Russia. The
sea-transportation of troops is the
theme of most interest. Japan did
well with her troopships during the
war with China but the Russian fleet
has to be considered now and this
makes the issue more difficult But we
do not doubt that the Japanese strate-
gists will meet the task as cleverly as
any general staff of whatever nation
could possibly do.

Now that Phelan is sure of his third
term in San Francisco, he and his fell
low-boomers are preparing to plunge
the city into dept Of nearly 10000
900. To this end two bond elections
have been called. The scheme includes
the extension of Golden Gate Park to
Van Ness avenue and to the Preside,
the building Of a park in the Mission;
sewer system; seventeen new school
houses; and new City and County
hospital. All these acquisitions would
go far to make San Francisco a Pacific

If Congress, the session Of which be-
gan Monday acts positively on the
lines of annexation it may do more to
Quell the Tagal revolt than even the
recurring triumphs of General OTIS
arms. At any rate such a course would
deprive the natives of a hope that has
all along strengthened their patience
and fOrtitude. Nor could they retain
the impression long that the election
of an "anti-imperialist" to the Presi-
dency would help them; for IL Con-
gress anneXes the islands even Bryan
could do nothing IN altar that worI

Undoubtedly it will be the aim OF the
Republican leaders to annex with the
View moi only Of speedily ending the

FEDERAL STEEL.

II the injunction restraining the Federal Steel
Company from paying dividend on the common
stock had been obtained on the ground that the
dividend had not been earned, there would be ade-
ouate cause for selling Federal Steel stock at once
But the Injunction merely relates to a legal point
involved in the bylaws and charter OF the company
and according to the Interpretation of the Court,
the dividend cannot be paid. though earned. until
full years dividend has been distributed upon the
preferred stock. The amount OF money necessary
to pay the entire dividend of per cent the pre-
ferred has been set aside as has also the amount
necessary for the quarterly dividend recently de-
clared upon the common stock. 1t has been sug-
gested that the dividends the common stock
would be paid by the company despite the inJunc-
tion, by an arrangement with a banking house
which would advance the money to stockholders of
record and at the end Of the year be reimbursed
by the company the company meanwhile deposit
ing ample security against the dividend in favor OF
the banking house. Stockholders OF Federal Steel
naturally would like their dividends now; but If
they will have the satisfaction Of knowing that
their money is safe In the bank where II cannot be
touched by bear manipulators and sohcitous pre-
ferred stock holders. Federal Steel Is doing such
heavy business that II could pay dividends on its
entire capital stock II issued. The company Is cap
itazed at s20O,00o00 of which about sl00 10000 is
outstanding. No action by the Stock Exchange
has been called for by the continuance of the in
functions against the Federal Steel dividends Due
bills were given when the stocks sold dividend
and these due bills Will become collectible whenever
the dividends actually paid. There will be no
payment deferred until the second fiscal year of
