IrlPERIAL ARROGANCE.

In the recent instance of decis-
ions rendered in the Indian Terri
tory by Judges Gill and Thomas,
who were so unfortunate as to in
cur the displeasure of the execu-
tive department of the United
States government by holding
and expressing views of law
contrary to those held in
Washington, there is an illustra-
tion of the arrogance of the new
imperialist spirit which will not be
lost on the American people.
Judge Gill's decision was in the
tribal tax case heard at Vinita, in
which he rules that officers of the
interior department be restrained
from collecting the tribal taxes in
the Cherokee nation. United
States Attorney General Griggs, it
is said, entertains a contrary view,
believing that the officers of the
government, acting on an Indian
reservation, hold the same status
as military authorities carrying
out an executive order, and that
they are therefore not amenable to
a restraining order issued by a
court. If the secretary of the in
terror decides upen the enforce
ment of this tax, it is stated, he
may, under MIR. Griggs' ruling,
proceed to its collection even to the
length of employing the military.
In the case of Federal Judge
Thomas, who has enraged the Of
ficials of the interior department
by restraining the townsite board
of Muskogee from selling town
lots, as provided by the Curtis law,
the report tells US that the indig-
nation of the interior department
and the department of justice is so
great that movement has been
begun to remove Judge Thomas
from Office. Strong pressure is
being brought to bear to this end,
it is stated. and the indications
point to an early termination Of
Judge Thomas judicial career in
the Indian Territory.
All this looks remarkably like
an effort on the part of the execu-
tive department of the govern
; ment to overawe judicial officers
: who have the moral courage te ex-
press their convictions on the Law
or to give redress against the ar.
bitrary exactions of the agents OF
the department. AS an instance
of Imperialism right at home it il

BoER RESISTANCE BROKEN.

Berlin, Sept, 15.-The Ger

Lord Roberts is making a con-
centrated movement on Komati-
poort and has left Pretoria in
order to direct it personally.
Ian Hamilton is returning to the
railway from Lydenburg, Pole
Carew is pushing east toward
Nelspruit, French is making for
Barberson and Butler has divid-
ed Botha's force and cut off a
portion of them from communi-
cation with the commanders be-
tween Nelspruit and Komati-
poort.
Lydenburg apparently has
been abandoned as soon as it was
captured, and the british forces
are in hot pursuit of the remnant
of the Boer army and driving it
eastward to the Portuguese
frontier.
These tactics are bold, but in
accord with Lord Roberts STRAIT
egy since February. Komati-
poort is the new objective point,
and when it is captured LordRob-
erts will be credited with having
taken possession of the last
Dutch railway line and closed
the door into neutral territory.
The work of paciication will not
have been thoroughly worked
out, but the main object will
have been secured, as was done
when Bloemfonteln and Pretoria
were occupied.
The excitement over the ap-
proach of the elections is increas-
ing daily, but Lord George
Hamilton is the only minister in

Herbert Gladstone are the chief
political managers in attendance
at the headquarters, Liberals

facilitated this policy. 1t is still

THE PEST AND THE RATS
SOME QUEER TESTIMONY FROM
THE WATER FRONT.
Dying Rodents Everywhere But not a
Case of Plague-Facts for the Doctors
To Explain.

When the doctors try to finally make
up their minds about how plague got
into Honolulu they will encounter some
strange contradictions in the evidence.
1t is the general opinion that rats
brought the pest here, or at least that
it came in freight from the Orient and
was scattered by the rodents Much of
the evidence to be collected about the
freight and the rats is against this
theory.
All along the water front it is the
universal testimony that rats have dis.
appeared. Many We're found dead. AT
the Pacific Mail wharf they We're seen
almost in swarms up to a couple of
months ago and Archie Gilfillan says
they used to run around his feet when
he sat working at his desk. Now there
are none, but not a case of plague has
occurred among the people who worked
en- the wharf and handled the freight
in which the rats were.
The Wilder Steamship Company
warehouse was another place that
swarmed with rodents. 1t was not
possible to leave a bag of grain around
without their eating holes in it. The
rats have all died or gone, but there
is no plague case to report among the
employees of theWilder Company.
The same is true at the Inter" Island
Brewers wharf there was an even
more remarkable lack of correspon-
dence between what might have been
expected and what actually took place.
After the Carmarthenshire-on OF
the steamers suspected of having
brought plague here-had locked, there
were large numbers of dead rats seen
on Nuuanu street. They were found
dead in the early morning.
This is about the first instance Of +I,c
kind, it is thought. But the Carmarth-
enshire discharged her unfumigaseu
freight and it was hauled away and no
case of plague occurred among the
Workmen who took it from the vessel
handled it on the wharf and hauled Il
up town. In most of the big ware
houses along the front dead rats were
found some time ago. but no plague
visited the places. They We're also
found in the large u. S. Commissary
building on Fort street. On one. at
least of the island steamers there were
lot of the dead rodents before ever
plague was reported in Honolulu, but
the steamer in question has kept run
ming ever since, with the same crew all
the time, and there has been no plague
on board.
The fact that not a case has occurred
among water front men is a puzzler to
those who hold to the theory of import
alton of the pest from the far east. It
is not explained by one theory pro-
posed-that the bacilli were in sealed
packages only opened up town-as the
rats on the water front have suffered
as severely as anywhere in town.
