WELCOME. BOSTON.

The Boston is historic ship in the
United States Navy, and she is decid-
eddy a historic ship in the annals of Ha-
wall. A ship and her crew are soon
parted, and it is the ship herself which
carries on the traditions of her name.
There may be a change of officers, there
may be an entire change of crew, but
some how or other it is the ship that
centers upon herself the memories and
the glories of the past. The Victory
lives to the present day, though Nelson
has been dead for close on to a CEN
fury.
The Boston participated in one of the
great political crisis here, and saw the
flag of the stars and stripes raised here,
and then taken down again. The per-
manent raising of that piece of bunting
occurred only a few years later, but
what happened when the Boston was
here was the, forerunner of what later
became permanent. Without the Incl
dents of 1893, the incidents of 1898 might
never have taken place.
The achievements of the Boston in
Manila have acquired world wide fame.
In that great May day battle she won
honor, second to none in that successful
fleet, and her name is inseparably link
ed with the glories of the flag she 50
wOrthily carries,
Upon her decks now are only two of
the officers who were on board of her
in that glorious first of May, but the
other officers We're nearly all engaged in
the battle though on other vessels. Ho-
nolulu ought to give these heroes of
Dewey's fleet rousing welcome. They
represent the most brilliant arm Of the
service and we should vie with one an
other in welcoming their return. What
the Boston officers and men should be
made to understand, is that they have
crossed the ocean to put into no foreign
port, but that this is truly home, a piece
of the United States as true, as loyal
and as open hearted as any port that
they may enter upon the whole Pacific
coast. i.I!

Rennes where Dreyfds is to be tried,
- called now the "ugliest and dirtiest
Gown in France" But at one time it
held a considerable position. For five
centuries it was the capital of the in
dependent Duchy of Bretagne and was
the center of stirring historical events
and political intrigues. There are no
end of romances connected with the
old town, none perhaps more striking
than the forcible abduction during the
fifteenth century of the reigning Ouch
ess Anne, by Sire dAlbert the ancestor
Of Henry of Navarro. She was rescued
by Dunois, one of the most celebrated
of French knights, and borne back to
the city on his saddle bow. The Ouch
ess was twice Queen of France, once as
wife of Charles VIII and then of Louis
XII. OF late years the city has been a
forgotten, grass-grHwn provincial town,
till it has been suddenly thrust into
prominence by the Dreyfus trial. After
that excitement is over it will sink into
oblivion again.

We have been accustomed to the anti
Chinese agitation of the westerner, but
it is a surprise to find an anti-Chinese
feeling springng up in Japan. Accord
ing to the latest Japanese papers there
is a strong movement on foot, through
out the empire, to prevent the lower
classes of Chinese from coming into the
interior. The basis of the opposition is
that the lower class Chinese woulu viii
ate the morals of japanese of CORE
spending social status. knowing the
Japanese as well as we do here, a broad
smile is apt to go rounu whom such a
reason is advanced, seeing that in a
very great number of cases among the
lower class Japanese there are no
morals to vitiate, but be this as it may.

have made an effort to concentrate vici-

LOS ANGELES, May 20.-Barney Vail,
a dairyman of Rivera, has vanished. A
milk wagon and a team of horses disap-

trious. was employed by George H. Smith
of this city to drive a wagon to and from
a skimming station near Rivera. No rea-
son is assigned for his disappearance, as
he is not known to have had enemies or
business troubles. He was last seen on
Monday afternoon. He Grove to this city
with a Wagonload of milk and called to
see his employer, Smith, on a matter of
business. Late in the afternoon he got
into the wagon and started to return
home. A few minutes later he stopped
at Heintzman's drugstore and purchased
50 cents worth of cotton-root bark. A
friend of his, Don Montgomery of Rivera,
had commissioned him to make the pur-
chase Vail did not take the package, but
requested a clerk to mail 1t to Montgom-
cry This is regarded as an indication
that Vail did not intend to return home.

seen again. Persons along the Rivera
road saw him driving TO town, but none
of them saw him returning. That he had
made no preparations to go away IS made
clear by his friends tonight. who say

FIGHTING FOR

Local Societies Plan a
Crusade.
MASS MEETINGS TO BE CALLED
A MAMMOTH PETITION TO THE
PRESIDENT.
Organizations in All Parts of the
United States Unite to Give
Assistance to the OPP
pressed People.

The encroachments being made upon
the liberties of the people of Finland by
the Gar of Russia have aroused local
Films to an effort to do something in be-
half of their native land. They have al
ready organized a movement to secure
an expression Of public opinion, and by
petition and mass-meetings will seek to
enlist the sympathies of Americans in
their cause. They are emphatically op-
posed to the Russianizing of Finland, and
will ask the people of this country to
aid them in making their protest effect
i've.
The movement is not by any means
confined to this city A committee repre-
senting the Films of Michigan has al
ready been to Washington. They have
been promised the hearty cooperation of
United States Senator Mcmillan and have
had an interview with President McKin-
ley, who seemed favorably inclined to
their pleading. Several informal confer
ences were held with members of the
American delegation to the Cars peace
conference, and a promise was given that
the matter will be made matter of dis
cussion at the conference, If possible.
The affair has therefore been a sub
iect of great agitation in this country and
the local Firms determined to take up
the crusade Delegates from the five local
Finnish societies met on Friday night in
Ericsson presided. While nothing definite
was done it was the general opinion that
a mass meeting should be called and
prominent American speakers be invited
to attend. The local Finnish societies
wish to inform the people of the justice
of their cause. They wish to show how
the Car is rapidly encroaching upon the
rights of the people Of Finland abridging
their liberties, forcing them to contribute
disproportionately to the army and in
many other ways attempting to enslaVe
them.
Through the medium Of mass-meetings
the relation between Finland and Russia
will be shown and then American citi-
zens will be asked to assist the cause of
the oppressed people The representatives
of the various societies will meet soon
again to perfect arrangements for the
meeting. There is a project also on foot
to circulate petition to President Nc
Kinley 10 exercise his good offices with
the. Car. 1t is the purpose of the movers
in the matter to circulate this petition
among American citizens in every great
city in America. When the mammoth
document is finished it will be presented
to the President.

its enforcement in the courts would
practically bankrupt the company.
received this afternoon a copy of
the written dismissal of the decree of
the court, which l had not examined
before. The popularity about this pro-
ceeding was that the written dismissal
was signed by Mr.. Herrin as solicitor
and by Mr.. Pillsbury as counsel for the
railroad company, so that the order of
dismissal was signed as a fact. 1t says
that on the 9th day of May the court
directed the Attorney General to dis
miss the cases, but the conclusion of
the dismissal says that the railroad at
torneys being aware of that fact came
in and consented that the court should
grant the motion made by the Attorney
General. This, in my Judgment was
not dismissal on the part of the COM
plalnants, but the consent to dis
mlssal on the part of the railroad COM
pany, and it was probably carefully
framed to defeat the State in any effort
that might be made to recover its costs
from the railroad company Upon this
written decree Judge Morrow based and
issued short decree in which he dis
missed the cases and drafted the order
OF dismissal as though it was made
upon the part of the complainants
themselves.
l have no doubt that Judge Morrow s
decree will hold and that the State will
recover its costs. However. upon this
subject we have not thoroughly made
up cur minds. Early in the week Mr.
Hayne, the Attorney General and my
self will have a consultation and we

q finance committee, saying that upon
the energy displayed in that direction
depended the success of the movement
All must work in harmony and the de-
sired outcome is assured.
The discussion then became general
and many interesting points were
brought out. Mayor Phelan suggested
that each member of the committee
have allotted him the task of seeing
men in the different branches Of trade
This would result. he said. in their
crossing one another's paths in the coll
lection of money His Honor also
started a discussion as to the estimated
amount required to carry out the plan
on broad lines. 1t was the consensus
of opinion that the statue should cost
between 100000 and S150,000.
Mr. Stafford thought there would be
but little difficulty in raising $l50,00c,
which would provide a group in keep
ing with the achievements of Admiral
Dewey and be a credit to this city. Mr..
Platt suggested that the minimum be
500. 600, that being an excellent figure
on which to work Mr.. Stafford re-
ferred to the beautiful monuments at
1t was finally decided to leave the
naming of the amount required to the
organization committee, which will
meet on Tuesday at 4 p. IN. IN the Of
flee of Mayor Phelan in the Phelan
building.
His Honor suggested that the secur-
ing of subscriptions be commenced at
once, but it was finally decided TO await
the next meeting before taking any ac-
tion. The fixing of the amount to be
raised will be discussed seriously, as IL
was plain that in setting the amount
the pace was set" the first inquiry
usually made in such cases by SUP
scriber being, What is the total
amount to be raised?"
Mayor Phelan said a mere statue
could be provided for $25000, but that
an imposing monument would cost at
least 500 600. 1t would require a sub
stantial figure to attract the attention
of such men as st. Gaudens and Story,
the designer of the Francis Scott Key
monument in Golden Gate Park.
In selecting a name for the commit
tee its purpose was set forth as "A
committee TO erect a monument to the
American navy in commemoration of
the victory of Admiral Dewey at Ma
nila.'
The question of location was touched
upon lightly. Some members of the
committee joined Mayor Phelan in his
advocacy of a downtown site. where
every visitor of the city must of neces-
sity see il.
The chairman complimented the gem
tlemen present upon the work they had
accomplished at their first meeting.

RUMOR WAS SOON DISPROvED

Original Detachment Ordered to Duty
About the Infected Quarters
Will Be Isolated With
the Patient.

There was scare at the Preside yes
terday, caused by the disappearance of
an immune who had been ordered to at
tend upon Private McMurray, the colored
soldier afflicted with smallpox. 1t was
soon quelled, however, when the party
turned up late yesterday afternoon, and
after explaining his absence took up the
duties assigned him.
When McMurray was taken to his place
of confinement at an isolated point of the
reservation John Wagner, Octave Gaiutch-
er, Charles Haughton and Private Brun,
all immuneS and members of the casual
detachment, were detailed by DR.. Ware
to serve as his attendants. One of the
men suddenly absented himself without
leave, and the military authorities, think
ing that he was attempting to shirk the
duties imposed upon him, started a de-
tachment out to locate him and return
him to the PreSidio.
Word was passed around among the SOL
diers that the officials were in quest of
some one who had escaped, but they were
unable to learn the circumstances. The
supposition spread that another soldier
had suddenly become stricken with the
disease and had made an effort to escape.
In q short time the rumor gained proper
tions and fear of an epidemic caused
much uneasfness among the troops. APP
prehension was dissipated when the au-
thOritieS gave out the details of the case
and the circumstances of the disappear
anCe.
The immune returned yesterday after
noon and went to headquarters. He stat
ed that, having received his pay on Fri
day, he believed it the proper caper to
celebrate before going into solitary con-
f1nement, hence hied himself to the city,
where, after an oVerindulgence in steam
beer, he spent the night He was imme-
diately sent to the quarantine quarters,
and says that he had no intention of
avoiding his duty.
A detachment of twelve men accom-
panied the patient to the smallpox hos
pital. 1t was the intention of the author
tiles to change the guard every twelve
hours, keeping the men a safe distance
from the point of contagion In some
manner, however, the first detachment ex-
posed itself and the unfortunate dozen

antine for ten days. during which time it

nurses and attendants obliged to, remain
within its confines. All the sick of the
post will be taken to the general hospital
where they will be afforded treatment
The patient is getting along nicely, and
no fears for the spread of the disease are

STEERING APPARATUS
WAS TLMPERED WITH

HONOLULU, May 13.-The army trans
port Warren had a narrow escape going
out of the harbor on the 1st inst, and it
is due to Captain Macauley's skill and
carefulness that she got out in safety.
Some malicious person aboard the trans
port fastened the clutch that connects
the hand and steam steering apparatus,
so that the rudder could not respond to
the wheel.
The Warren cast off her lines at $50
clock from the Oceanic wharf. Captain
Macauley was the ~ilOt He swung her
around by her stern and bow lines until
she was in perfect position to move out
of the harbor Then she started ahead.
When she got to the point near the light
house where the turn is made into the
channel the vessel failed to respond to
the wheel. Captain Macauley ordered the
engines reversed. and backed up. The yes
sci backed true and another start was
to the wheel. Captain Macauley was now
convinced that something was wrong with
the steering gear and backed into good
position. and sent lines to the Pacitic Mail
wharf to hold the vessel in position
while an examination was made. 1t was
then that the discovery was made that
the clutch had been disconnected. The
connection was made and guard placed
over the clutch to prevent any more tam,
pering with it, and then the vessel moved
out under perfect control.
While the steering gear was disconnect-
ed another untoward Incident occurred,
not important in itself, but significant in
connection with the other This was the
breaking of the telegraphic connection
between the bridge and the engine room.
The speaking tube connection was, how
ever. still intact.
The discovery of the trouble with the
steering gear in time found the vessel at
a point where it could be safely handled:
But had the discovery been delayed until
later. the most serious consequences
might have ensued. 1t is supposed the
motive of this tampering was to delay the
departure. of the vessel. The belief on
shipboard was that it was done not by
the soldiers. but by some of the ships
crew.
