OFFICIALS DUBIOUS.
Don't Expect Russia And Japan To
Fight over Korea.

Washington. july 27.-The reports
that Japan and Russia are armiDg for
"A struggle over Korea are received
with much allowance in the diploma
tic quarters chiefly concerned, and il
is pointed out that an entente cordiale
was arranged between the two countries
last year concerning affairs in Korea.
This arrangement is still in force and
there has been no evidence that either
government desired 20 depart from it.
1t is in the form of a protocol, dated at
Toxic. April %, 1898, and is signed by
Baron Rosen, Russian minister To
Japan. and Baron Nissl. plcnlpoten-
tiary for Japan. One of It's main pro-
vision is as follows:
The imperial governments Of Rus.
STA aud Japan recognize deiiniiively
the sovereign and the e'irc independ.
ence of Korea, and mutually engage
between themselves to ohStain from
all interference in the internal affairs
Of the country.

No reader can escape the general
impression of intense, feverish. con-
centrated effort ON the part of Chi.
Cages young men. No observer can
fan 10 notice the mad rush for money
on the pant of the city youth-that
youth which is at once maturity and
childhood, which is at once inexperi-

PRESENT. the never-ceasing, the haste
compelling condition of the town.
Young men of rs leap into business,
tight furiously and increasingly every
moment IF the day-on the street. at
luncheon, greeting acquaintance as in
the Office or market. They force INTO
play every nerve and faculty; they
BRING every attribute of their being to
bear in swift assembling, sudden in
vestng of fortune from the gods.
They run. They hurry. They have
no time to speak whole sentences
They know before you finish what you
would say, and wrest your weapon of
defense by answers like revelations.
But above they rush.
We'll, they must! 1hey have but 10
years in which 20 conquer the world.
From 20 to 80 in their limit. II they
are not firmly established at the latter
age they became useless and JOIN the
great army of incompetents who know
more but are worth less. If they are
successful at 80 they will retain for
une to the end.
There are exceptions TO this rule; but
they are rare. Some men essay the
fortress of fortune when their hair is
gray and their hands unsteady and
achieve il. Some ''come back" nj
so. after falling repeatedly until that
time. But the man of 80 without es-
tate must calculate the heavy chances
are against him. 1t will he like mir

fearful thing TO look from under gay
hairs at defeat. 1t is the saddest thing

DR. NOBL|TT COMMITTED
PRACTICED MEDICINE WITHOUT
A LICENSE.
After Being Acquitted by Judge Wilcox
Is Found Guilty by Judge Perry at
Chambers.

DR.. w. ;. Nobiitt was before Judge
Perry sitting at chambers today on the
charge of practicing medicine without
license. He was found guilty and
committed to the regular circuit term
for trial.
This case came up in police court
about three weeks ago. After hearing
the case Judge Wilcox decided that,
while it had been shown that Noblitt's s
license to practice medicine had been
cancelled, his guilt as to actual practice
of medicine since then had not been
established. on this ground the matter
was thrown.
NOblitt was re-arrested on another
warrant issued out of the circuit court,
the language of which was about the
same as the first. The evidence in the
two hearings was the same. Deputy
Marshal Chillingworth was the princi-
pal witness for the Government Judge
Perry found that jury would probably
convict the accused and committed him
as above stated.

TRAM TRACK LAYING.
Track is Marrow Gauge and Rails Very
Heavy.

There has been no change in the
tramways situation. This morning the
Hawaiian Tramways Company laid
their fiat girder rails on Union Square.
1t is understood that they will move
tomorrow in both directions, though
nothing to indicate 1t has yet trans
pired.
The Rapid Transit people are saw
ing wood" and saying nothing One
of the heads of the company said this
morning that he did not think the tram
people would pull up the bits of track
laid some weeks ago.
The width of the track now being laid
by the Hawaiian Tramways Company
on Union Square is the same as the
old. 1t is what is known as regular
narrow gauge The rails set about
twelve inches deep in the ground and
are connected by strong bolts. 1t is
said that the rails are strong enough
to carry a railway train. Each one of
them weighs a little over LOO pounds.
Two stout horses, a dray and pair of
trucks are used to transport a couple
of rails from the wharf to the scene of
operations.

SORTING OUT THE DOPE FISH BY THE THOUSAND.
RUNS IN HONOLULU AND OTHER
HARBORS.
The Old Superstition Revived at Kauai.
Natives Spend All Night in Profitable
Angling.

There was a great run of small fish
in the harbor last night and early this
morning and reports from other ISL
ands tell of a similar condition of
affairs recently. Hundreds of natives
fished all night long and many of them
made a good days wages.
At Hanamaulu the red fish that ma
tives always associate with death in
the royal family were so plentiful last
Saturday night that they were caught
as fast as hooks could be baited. The
steamer Ke Au Hou hung an electric
light over her side and as many lines
as there was room for were cast out.
The red fish were hauled up one after
another until the vessel left. The re-
suit was that the Ke Au Hou brought
several barrels of dried fish. One of the
men on board had two double strings
the entire length of the steamer set
out to dry.
The old superstition was not forgot
ten on Kauai. While the practically
disposed natives fished others remem-
bered the traditional idea, said to have
been confirmed many times, and they
declared that death had again laid
hold of the royal family of Hawaii.
Two native women sat on the deck of
the Ke Au Hou and walled, mourning in
advance, for whatever the misfortune
might prove to be. When the steamer
! reached port at about o'clock this
morning there were anxious Inquiries at
once, as to what had happened There
was no news of the kind expected and
now the persistent believers in the
! superstition say tidings will come from
! the States.
In Honolulu harbor the run of white
! fish began yesterday and many good
| strings We're caught before night. But
after dark the crowd of natives fishing
| increased and the fish were more plen-
| tiful. One man received four dollars
at the fish market for his catch be-
tween 1 and o'clock this morning. The
fishers were of all ages and both sexes
| They sat in rows side by side along
| the edge of every wharf where there
was room and also on steamers anG
other vessels at the docks, until the
run began to die out

Sales at Fifty-fve Cents.

over 5000 shares Of Kamalo sugar
stock, upon which the assessments had
not been paid were sold by Harry
Armitage, acting for James f. Morgan,

ton against the sale and no efforts
were made to stop it.
The company bought most of the

sold TO private parties for So cents. AS
sessments on something over 1000
shares have been paid since they We're
first advertised, so that that block Of

There is still talk of a petition for
an accounting and receiver. 1t was
rumored this morning that a bill to
that intent would be filed during the
day. Paul Neumann, senior council
for the objecting stockholders, said this
afternoon that nothing had yet been
done though he intimated that the idea
of taking legal action had not been
abandoned.
r. II. Hitchcock, one of the Kamalo
men, will be expected in town Friday
night. 1t is understood, that he will
be a principal in the fight, if any is in
augurated, against the present direc-
tOratc of the company.

A LARGE QUANTITY FOR THE
BOARD OF HEALTH.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Worth That
May be Destroyed or Sold as the
Board Decides.

Customs inspector Neeley is spending
his time today in the dope room" of
the custom warehouse, sorting out the
packages of opium there. There are
about 1900 tins in the little room where
the officers have been taking the con-
traband stuff as they seized it. The
1000 tins, worth probably about $780,
900, represent two years work of Port
Surveyor Stratemeyer and the inspec-
tors
The opium is to be turned over to
the Board of Health and the sorting is
being done with a view to making the
donation to the board, which will then
wrestle with the question of how to
dispose of the drug-whether it shall
be destroyed or sold. The sorting is
an exceedingly difficult task for white
men and a Chinese will probably be
called in to assist in reading the signs
that distinguish the three grades rep
resented in the lot.
The opium is about all in half pound
tins and some of it is of a very high
grade, worth $50 a pound.
A local guardian of the port from
the prohibited drug stated this after
noon that he could get $4,000 in gold
coin for the lot as it is in less than an
hour. If the Board of Health should
decide to destroy it there will therefore
be quite a loss to the Government

first lot was sold. The others were

other by breaking up the tins ant
rumping the contents from a barge
outside the harbor. If some of the
customs officers had the say the valu

but would be shipped away and sold il
