MUST PAY BIG MONEY.
Sellers Of Oleomargarine Will Pay
Heavy License.

The internal revenue officers are about
to begin the work of looking into the
traffic in oleomargarine in the Islands.
Some time ago 1t was stated by the Al
vertiser that ii was likely that the price
of butter might go up on account of the
restrictions that would be placed on the
sale of oleomargarine as soon as the
United States laws went into effect
The American law requires retail mer-
chants to pay license of s4S for the priv =
ilege of selling oleomargarine, while
wholesalers must dig up $50. This
amounts practically to a prohibition OF
it's sale as only few merchants will be
able to afford to sell the compound. In
Hawaii oleomargarine is used largely by
the poorer classes instead of butter and
the prohibition of it's sale Is sure to re-
suit in an increase of. the price of but
ter.
r. II. Thomas Of the internal revenue
office says that ne will soon be getting
after the sellers OF oleomargarine and he
expects to have considerable trouble with
the Chinese merchants before he gets the
license question satisfactorily adjusted

speaker vehemently.
MT. g. L. Akana made the next ad-
dress His contention was that China
heid 4OOO 100000 of people and by right
they ought to be powerful nation.
The reason China was so weak was he
cause the Empress Dowager held the
power, preferred to stick TO the same
old ideas, was against foreigners. and
wanted to close the commercial inter
ests of China against all the world
we want reform, and desire to see
the Emperor restored to his rights
again. He has western ideas and
would like to see the change"
Mr. T. Ahung said everyone knew
the deplorable condition of China to-
day. CHINA was in a dangerous place
on account of the Dowager secretly
supporting the Boxers who had killed
many missionaries and foreigners. She
had caused disturbances against for
eign nations which have large CONNER
cial interests there. China ought TO

advice.
Mr.. Ng Fawn said: I'VE Chinese
people, being from one of the oldest ma
tions, want to see civilization esiab-
lished in China, but civilization cannot
be had by killing many innocent peo-
pie. The official classes of China do
nothing but rob the people. We, in a
foreign country, have better protection
than in our own nation. But here We
have good government. Why should
not China have good government? 1t
is because of the Empress Dowager.

How, the next speaker. Here condi-
tons are different and we can talk
politically as much as we want. We
must save our Emperor
Mr.. Wong Shin King said: do you
want a good government? Do lou
want a good Emperor? Do you want
peace?" The audience shouted in the
affirmative. Then" continued the
speaker. eve must have reform; the
old officials must be driven out aud tie

The resolution was then brought be
fore the meeting and its principles
thoroughly explained to the audience.
He said a copy will be forwarded to
representatives in different parts of the
world who will present them to The
governments OF the Powers.

HEARD THE SHOTS.
Miss Anna Weist Testifles in
the Powers Case.

Georgetown, KY, July 20.-Miss Annie
Weist, of Louisville, who was stenog-
rapher to Auditor Sweeney and was in
the auditors office in the executive
building when the Goebel assassination
occurred was the first witness called in
the Powers trial today. She heard three
shots in the direction of the office of the
secretary OF state. Witness said that
Immediately after the shooting several
strangers came into the room but they
did not speak of the shooting and 1t was
five minutes before she heard what had
occurred. Witness said Henry Youtsey
came into her office the day of the Van
Meter-Berry contest and told her she
had better leave the state house as trou-
bic was likely. Witness said that a few
minutes after the shooting Assistant
Secretary of State Matthews stationed
two men with guns at the door of the
building with orders to allow no one to
either enter or leave the building.
Miss Snuffer of Williamsburg, testi-
fed that Powers told her January IA,
that before he would be robbed of his
position, he would kill the last one of
them, at the same time exhibiting
pistol. A letter said to have been writ
ten by Powers, was read, in which Pow
erS said he did not want to see Finley.
There was no need of an understanding
to enable them to tell the truth. Finley
was as innocent as he. Powers, was.
This was written four days before Pow

New York Uptown Gossip.

New York July 20-The strength of do
nestle conditions in the main and the ex-
cellent character of the holdings of stocks
combined to give remarkable demon
stration of strength in the local STOCK mar
ket yesterday in face of adverse develop
ments. In the financial and political news
from abroad produced no more than hesi-
tation and stagnation in the local market
early while in the last hour good advances
were brought about under the influence
of buoyant speculation in sugar refining.
The movement in the stock named Is
credited to a large banking house which
has been identified with the bull side OF
the Havemeyer speciality since ft began TO
rally on the agreement made between the
several competing refining interests. The
refinerS of sugar are now enjoying their
best season. Some time ago they reached
an agreement for the maintenance of con-
solicitations. Instead of this we have had
a. steadily rising market for raw sugars
with all the refinerS slowing 1t with
higher prices for the finished article.
With respect to the large features of the
situation little response was made by the
general stock market yesterday. The Sc
robustness of the Chinese problem has
shocked and checked activity both hero
and abroad. 1t has not however pro-
duced liquidation except in the govern
ment securities of the old world and loans
and issues OF China and India, and this
liquidation has been confined to foreign
centers. 1t would not be wise, however,
to suppose that domestic speculation may
entirely escape this European influence
If we feel 1T it will of course be through
the money market.

JESTER LOOKED SAD
When Pension Papers We're Put
in Evidence Against Him.

st. Louis, July 20.-A special to the
Post-Dispatch from New London, Mo-,
says:
George w. Roudebush, one of the spe-
cial examiners of the pension bureau,
was placed on the stand in the Jester
trial today. He identified the certifi-
Gates and applications for pension made
by Alexander Jester, alias w. A. Hill.
B. F. Wilkins of Norman, Okla, clerk
of the Second district court, testified
that he knew the prisoner as w. A.
Hill and had assisted him in getting a
pension and also divorce.
When Jester was first arrested at
Shawnee, Okla, he denied his identity.
He claimed he was not Alexander Jes-
ter, the man who travelled through
Kansas and Missouri with Gilbert w.
Gates. Attorneys for the prisoner made
fight to keep out these pension pa
perS as they prove concluSively that
Jester has been known under two
names.
The judge admitted the evidence, and
the letters Jester had written to the
pension department, and the application
he made were read. 1t was a decided
victory for the state and made the old
prisoner looked very sad.
Taken in connection with a divorce
proceeding in Oklahoma it appears from
the pension papers read that Jester was
married to Della H. Jester probably in
the fifties. She went to Kansas and
died in 1878. However, on June 49,
1870, Jester SWearS he was married in
Texas to Julia Reynolds, who bore him
three children. From her he secured a
divorce at Norman, Oklahoma, on No
vember "a, 1894. On May "a, 1896, he
was married to Margaret E. Brown.
In a series of questions submitted to
Jester by H. Clay Evans, the commits
sioner of pensions, Jester claimed that
he had three children while in fact he
had at least eight living at the time
the statement was made In the same
series of questions he made mention
of only one wife while the court records
show him married three times at least.

BRYAN'S VIEWS.
Tells What He Thinks of the
Chinese Situation.

Lincoln. Neb. July 20.-Mr. Bryan
today gave out the following interview
in regard to the situation in China:
Every one deplores the destruction Of
life in China and is Mortified at the bar
barities practiced. Every one believes
that it is the duty of our government
to protect the lives and property of
American citizens residing in China and
I have no doubt that the administration
will do So I also take it for granted
that all American citizens will with
draw from China temporarily or take
refuge in some seaport where they can
be protected by American ships until
the excitement is over. If the Chinese
government has tried to good faith to
protect our citizens. suitable punishment
for the guilty and reparation and in
demnity for those who have suffered
can doubtless be secured.
eff upon investigation it is found that
the Chinese government has. not acted
in good faith, congress has power to
deal with the matter. For several years
European nations have been threaten
ing to dismember China and it is not
strange that their ambitious designs
should arouse a feeling of hostility
toward foreigners. That feeling how
ever ought not to be directed against
American citizens and will not be if our
nation makes it known that it has no
desire to grab land or to trespass upon
the rights of China.
"A firm adherence to the American pol
icy of justice and fair dealing will not
only set example to other nations, but
will give our citizens residing in China
the best promise of security. 1t will be
better for our merchants to have it known
that they seek trade only when trade is
mutually advantageous; it will be better
for our missionaries to have it known that
they are preaching the gospel of love-
and are not the forerunners of fleets and
armies

MISSIONARIES TO LEAVE.
Presbyterian Board of Missions Cables
Members to Flee From Chez Foo.

New York, July 2O.-The Presbyterian
board of foreign missions held a special
meeting today for the consideration of
the situation in China and authorized
the officers to cable the missionaries
now assembled at Che Foo to avoid I'M
necessary risk and leave China at once
if they deem it necessary.
Similar messages will be cabled to
Shanghai and Canton, to be forwarded
to all the missionaries IN the interior
1t was said afterward that the board
did not consider it wise to order the
missionaries to leave China at once. 1t
is believed that if they should all leave
the native Christians would be exposed
to bitter persecution. But it is desired
that all shall feel at liberty to depart
at the moment they deem it best.
None of the Chinese missionaries now
on furIough in this country will be sent
back for the present, it was decided.
and those newly appointed but not sent
out, will also stay at home.
