INJUSTICE To TIRE CHINESE.

In another column is published some
Interesting correspondence between
Mr.. How Duck and Secretary OF tn,
Treasury Gage.
Mr.. How Duck was passenger from
China on the Coptic in January last
and held a permit from the Hawaiian
government which gave him the RICH,
to return to Hawaii. On arrival here,
ne, with other Chinese, were refused
permission to land by United States
Special Agent Brown. with the ap-
prevail Of Special Agent Sewall as 1t
was then said. He with the others who
were refused permission to land, were
not informed of their right to appea.
to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
were forcibly sent back to China. The
Secretary of the Treasury, on hearing
appeals from the decision of Special
Agent Brown, made in similar cases.
reversed his judgment and permitted
the holders of permits to land.
Mr.. How Duck returned to China,
and on being informed OF this deci-
sion, again took passage to this port
and was allowed to land. He appealed
to the Secretary. asking to be reim-
bursed for the expenses incurred by
this forcible detention. He asks moth
ing for the loss of time and humilia-
ton.
The Secretary replies that he will pay
him nothing because the detention was
caused by the Hawaiian government
and not by the Federal government.
This conclusion OF the Secretary may
not be in accordance with the facts Of
the case. 1t was understood. at the
time, that the Federal government,
though its Special Agents here, direct
ed the arrest and return. 1t was also
understood at the time, that II the Ha-
waiian government stood aside and let
the Special Agents adopt and enforce
their own measures in the case, it
would be reported to Washington as
an unfriendly act. So that government
furnished the physical force to accom-
plish this illegal act. 1t was made a
cats paw in committing an outrage.
The only honorable and just course
for our local government to take is,
to pay the expenses OF these Chinese
who have been falsely imprisoned. The
Flag is only honored when every citi-
zen sees to 1t that It covers no in
justice and under its shadows the poor
est man Is protected in his rights,
about which there is no dispute

THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.

The dispute between Great Britain
and the Beers is merely another
phase Of the one great impending
question OF modern times. what are
the political rights of man? The Beers
have rights. So have the Uitlanders.
The Beers, although in the minority,
claim the right to rule. The Uitlanders
also claim the right to share In the
government of themselves. The criti-
cal situation Is created by the growth
of the community. There Is no tribu-
nal TO which the dispute can be re-
ferred. Unless the disputants agree,
the sword must decide II, "a II has
decided nearly all OF the international

TINE HAGUE CONfERkNCE.

More than one divine has said that
- man laughs. and IL made In the
inage Of God, God and the Angels
must laugh and they laugh loudest a,
shs doings OF men.
For several months past, the dele
eatcs Of the civilized world have been
IA conference at The Hague on the sub
jert Of butchering each other, In the
settlement of international disputes.
The delegates agree that the nations
cannot stop cutting each others
throats, In certain cases, and that gen.
eral arbitration IL quite ahead OF the
times. Much attention has been paid
in the conference TO the ways OF doing
each other up in war, so as TO lessen
emeWhat the horrors OF He'll which
IL the c0nspicuous feature OF war. II
was urged that bullets which explode
in the body should not be used, but no
one urged that cannon ball and grape,
which mangle the body, be tabooed.
The angels must have laughed at the
proceedings Of the little earthly manni-
kins who agreed that the terrible bur-
den of ornaments should be main.
tanned, but that warning nations must
not go too far" in the way Of using
improved weapons.
The conference resembled one In
which q lot OF topers might meet In
council, and resolve that drunkenness
should be maintained, but excessive
delirium tremens should be carefully
avoided.
The opinion OF the press of the civ
ilized nations Is that really nothing has
been accomplished by the conference,
excepting the expression of general
feeling by the delegates that armed
encampments OF the most burdensome
kind, among the Christian nations,
was not a happy condition, and, like
the old Yankee woman who said that
her sin nards was a calm for grace"
the delegates felt that the nations
should think of giving rp the practice
Of blowing each other to pieces.
Great Britain and the United States
refused to give up any Of the advan-
tages which money and power could
give In war, and decline to give up the
use of bombs which would asphyxiate
their enemies. A court OF arbitration
was established, but no nation would
agree to submit differences to It. That
was made optional.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1899-09-01

In the interests of humanity, a
crank submitted novel method OF
warfare. He suggested that the only
weapons permissible in war should be
guns that discharged bombs which on
exploding would diffuse chloroform or
ether and put the enemy in an uncon-
scious condition for a while, so that
those under the influence of 1t could
be easily captured, and their legs and
arms be tied up. Instead of bloody
battle, with its killed and wounded
men, there would be simply thousands
of men put out of fighting condition,
and the victor would be the one who
protected the largest number of men
against the influence OF ether. The
promoter of this scheme suggested also
that the victorious army should brand
on the hip of each soldier lying under
the influence of ether a letter indica-
ting that he had been temporarily
smothered and conquered and could
never engage in battle again.
The Tsar's delegates made no formal
reply to this humane and ingenious
method OF warfare, and all the dele
gates informally agreed that the only
practical way of disabling a fighting
man was 10 Kill him, If possible, and
as to the charge that It was a crime TO
kill man, as II was laid down in the
Ten Commandments, the higher criti-
cism' OF all ages had always agreed
that 1t was no crime, until a communl-
~ had declared It to be one, and the
Commandment was entirely obsolete,
and poor business proposition.
The Peace Conference made no
gushing illusions to the brotherhood
Of man" but assumed that II there

position, il was not practicable a. pres

tion OF liability might be determined

clated in these foreign quarters that
payment was largely a matter OF dis
erection with the United States as the
liability TO look after the American
claimants was assumed voluntarily
