Circles In Cons tantinople.


Constantinople, April 21.-The firm
attitude of the United States govern
ment regarding the claims of Ameri-
cans for losses and massacres in Ar
menia is entirely approved in political
End commercial circles, and 1t Is hoped
that the United States will steadfastly
maintain its demand, such a course be-
Ing the only one likely to succeed. 1t is
thought that all the powers should fol-
low the same course, not only concern
ing indemnities, but also with regard
to the increase of duty. Negotiations
regarding American indemnity are now
being conducted in Washington owing
to the presence there of United States
Minister Straus. When the prohibit
ton against American pork was issued

d'affaires, addressed an energetic note

London, April 23.-The Daily Mail

describing the growth of anti-Ameri-

says: This development is due to the
harsh treatment the Japanese have re-
ceived in Hawaii and to the belief that
the United States will stop Japanese
immigration to Hawaii. The feeling is
calculated to lead to deplorable war

COURT WAR WITH FRANCE.
What Goodwin Smith Says OF the British
Prophecies Defeat

Toronto, Ont, April 23.-Goldwin
Smith, writing on the political situa-
ton in Europe, says there are appar-
emily people in England mad enough in
their present state of delirious exulta-
ton to court war with France. which.
if there IS ground for belief in an I'M
derstanding of France with Russia,
might develop into war with both those
powers. These people have in their
minds ideas of British invincibility de-
rived from the Napoleonic war. They
forget that after Trafalgar the British
swept the seas, that her manufactures
were still in their infancy, that little
OF her wealth was invested abroad and
that her population was far smaller
than it is now, so that she was COM
paratively little dependent on foreign
countries for her food. Nevertheless
the suffering then inflicted on the
masses of the people was extreme.
France, drawing her supplies from the
continent, could never be forced to
surrender. Germany could invade her,
Britain could not.

Washington, d. c., April 21.-In spite
of Senator Cullom's efforts the rail
road interests won again in his com
mittee on Interstate commerce. Bare
ly a quorum responded to his call for
a meeting to vote on reporting out the
bill to amend the Interstate commerce
act, and ex-senator Henderson. who
was to attend as a railroad attorney,
did not take the trouble to appear.
Nothing Glunted, Senator CuIlom
promptly issued another call for a
meeting next week and he said that
then a vote would be taken without fail
on the bill There are eleven members
of the committee and the reported ma
jOrity of six against the CullOm bill, it
was said today would never yield. In
the matter Of pensions Senator Cullom
was more favored. w. L. Baker of
Harrisburg, ILL.,, well known in south
ern Illinois, received a pension of $72
month, enc of the highest amounts
granted by the government. Col. J.
Funkhauser of Albion, H., got pen
sion of $50 a month.

to prepare it for presentation. The
principal difficulty in agreeing upon

UNRULY TROOPS.

There is q very serious question con-
nected with the Chinese war which
will have TO be investigated, and
brought home, if it is possible to bring
such a thing home. War is He'll said
one of the greatest and the most prac-
teal of our generals. He found it was
''Hell' when fighting men of his own
blood, of his own education, and the
difference between the parties was a
political one. Yet the contest was bit
ter enough, and though since then the
opponents have sat down at the same
dinner tables, among the old people
there always remains a little feeling.
But this is a very different thing from
what appears now. The one was civiliz-
ed warfare, the other was savage.
Martin J. Egan, as a correspondent is
a man worthy of credence. His letters as
they are published show a condition of
affairs in China, where the allies are,
which is far from satisfactory. His de-
scriptions of bodies in the river are alb
solutely horrible There are Drained
children, suicided women and a mass of
description which recalls some of the
worst passages in Suetonius, a work
which few, if any, of the inhabitants
of Honolulu have perused. The account
may be colored, but it may be true
Each section of the allies will say
that their own people had nothing to
do with any atrocities. The Japanese
have been the first to clear their skirts
of any such charge, and the consensus
of opinion clears the Japanese. The
tendency is to throw the blame for afro.
cities upon the Russians This may or
may not be true. To any one who
knows the Russian the charge seems
almost impossible, for the Russian is
kind hearted, loves his family and as a
soldier he is most gentle with children.
There are blackguards in all armies. Is
it not possible that in a divided COM
mand such as has existed in China, the
blackguards of all nations have found
an opportunity to loot, and to ravish,
and that what has occurred has come
more from divided control than from
the innate depravity of any particular
nation

ELECTION PROSPECTS.

Yesterday brought good news of cleo
ton prospects. The forecast which it
is now possible to make gives the re-
suit as a political dead certainty for
Mckinley. The betting which short
while ago was two to one on the Repub-
lican candidate is now four to one, and
the Bryan takers are not numerous.
even at those odds.
With such a prospect in the mainland
Republicans in this territory should
strain every nerve to carry our election
Republican, and especially should the
delegate to Congress be the Republican
nominee. With Sam Parker in Wash
ington, a friend of the chief executive,
we can hope for many favors from the
Federal government. With Prince Da-
vid, as representing the Democrats, we
would get but few, with Wilcox we
would get none. Even that veteran
lobbyist Don Celso Caesar Moreno has
gone back upon Wilcox. He would have
absolutely no body in Washington to
affiliate with.
The forces of Wilcox are beginning to
ly in his favor two or three weeks ago
are beginning to come over to the other
parties. Meetings which short time
ago would not tolerate a word against
the gas tank man, are willing to listen
when he is pilloried and the selfishness
and greed of the man and his few in
Inmates are shown up.
There must be no Stacking of effort
however. There is no walk-oVer before
us. 1t is only by the most persistent
work that success can be obtained. The
young Republican workers deserve
great credit for their untiring zeal. In
fine weather and in foul they have kept
the ball rolling, and there is not voter
who has not had the merits of the Re-
publican cause, and the value of the
Republican candidates put before him.
There are only eleven days left for
work. They are always the hardest of
the campaign, and they frequently do
the greatest amount of good Now is
the time to put in the last ticks.

NOT A VICTORY.

The miners strike has come to an end.
AS far as one can learn from the teIe-
grams the miners have gained all their
demands. From this one may Judge
that their demands were just. Of course
there are strikes and strikes. There
are times when flesh and blood will not
stand the exactiOns of the owners, and
there are times when the workmen
want to grind down the owners so that
there is no use in running the enter
prise.
The amount Of sympathy which one
can extend to these mine workers in
Pennsylvania is somewhat limited
The amount of sympathy for the mine
owners who employ these laborers is
nil. The coal mines of PENNSYLVANIA
are worked by the cheapest labor that
can be recruited from Europe. The
laborers come from Southern Italy,
$4,000 illiterates of this class were
brought in during the last fiscal year.
They come from Croatia, Galcia, the
poorest parts of Hungary, the worst
parts of Prussia, Bohemia and in fact
the very refuse of Europe
These people are tempted to go to
the United States by wonderful stories
of the money that is to be made there.
The reason that they are tempted is
that the coal mine owners won't nav
the wages for decent miners and take
these various Dagos of sorts at the very
lowest rate.
People talk of our labor system, but
1t is not patch upon the coal field
system of Pennsylvania and other sim
liar fields. There may be no labor law,
but there is an unwritten labor law
which is administered by the Bosses,
that Is far more stringent than any law
which has been promulgated here in the
past.
Whatever the struggle has been in
pennsylvania, it has really been be-
tween the Bosses of these Sloyaks.
Poles, etc, and the masters. The lab
orers have been as putty in the hands
of the men who practically own them.
The finish Of the Pennsylvania strike
is the finish between Bosses and en-
ployers. 1t is not triumph Of organ
lied labor.

There has always been a section of
the Beers which has been turbulent and
refused even to obey the authority of
their own raad. 1t is this turbulent and
irreconcilable element which is keeping
alive the present hopeless struggle. If
any good could be gained, If better
terms might be the result of these oper-
atoms, one might have some sympathy
with these men, But there is no such
chance. The only thing gained is the
practical murder of small isolated par
ties and the destruction of useful prop
erty to no purpose.
The only thing which De Wet is ac-
complishing is to make the process of
pacification longer, and putting off the
period when the country can make an
advance towards prosperity, and begin
to heal the wounds which the war has
caused. 1t is also keeping a large num-
Der of men prisoners, who otherwise
would be set free and be able to earn
their own living and be a support to
their families.
The time will undoubtedly come when
De Vets burghers will no longer be re-
garded as belligerents, but will be con-
sidered as what they are, bandits. 1t
seems a sad pity that really brave men
should put themselves in such an I'M
satisfactory position, and should injure
their own country far more than those
who have been actually at war with it,.
To know when to yield is one of the at
tributes Of true bravery.

One would have thought that there
were surveys enough of the bar across
the entrance to Pearl Harbor. The last
survey of the bar was under the direc-
ton of the late Lieutenant Max Wood
U. S. N. and was a very thorough one.
There have been surveys of the shore
line since. One would hesitate to say
how many times the harbor has been
surveyed within the last thirty years,
but there must be ample information
stored up in various bureaus all over
the world. 1t is to be hoped that the
present survey will result in something
tangible. 1t is a pity to have SO mag
nificent a sheet Of water lying idle, be-
cause of comparatively narrow bar OF
sand. Once the channel is dredged out
and the only good harbor In the North
Pacific will be at the service of the
American Navy. V'N

Tuan has not come to an end by any
means. The talk of his disgrace seems
to be all moonshine. This is exactly
what any one might expect. AS soon as
the Chinese court is out of reach of it's
enemies, it simply laughs at promises
and treaties. The situation in China
will be just as bad next spring as it has
been this autumn. The Chinese are cal
culating upon the disintegration of the
allies, and they are certainly justified
in their calculations. But they Will
probably find in Germany more per-
sistent foe than they have calculated
upon, and then the British policy, which
has been in allegiance, pending the cleo
ton, is very likely to develop into ag-
gressive lines.

If the Wahiawa water scheme proves
a success the ten per cent rate will
bring a good income in to the people.
The minimum of $4,000 would only come
into play if at any time the dam should
give way The probability is that from
the time the venture gets into working
order, the minimum will be completely
lost sight of and never be appealed to.
The prospects are $4,000 year for the
people from the very out set.

USELESS STRUGGLE.

The Boer war is over but the guer-
rilla warfare of small number of men
who will not lay down their arms con-
tinues, and keeps feeling of unrest
open. No good can be accomplished by
these tactics. They tend to show the
mental condition Of certain classes of the
Beers. When a fight is done, the wise
man acknowledges the fact and accepts
the inevitable. He win try and make
the best Of his defeat, And this ma
jority of the Beers seem ready enough
to accept. But there are others who
carry on predatory warfare. which is
really not legitimate warfare. but pure
bandit work. ,,uiIGl "a ran s"a W

The late sultan of Morocco, Mulai

figures of the oriental world. Standing

binary tribesmen, but of finer stuff.
Colors he never wore, nor jewelry, ex-
cept silver ring with large diamond.

Keepsake. He half drew 1t off, but re-
placed 1t, saying, with quiet smile:
mo. will keep 1t. but you can have

His clothes he never wore more than
day, and his servants claimed them
as perqu!sltes, 80 that his wardrobe
