MET DEATH ON RAILROAD TWILL DINE PROF. Stubs.
CHINESE INFANT KILLED AT
WAIAU.
Mother, Who Was Carrying Child on
Back at Time of Accident, Also
Hurt.

An unfortunate accident occurred on
the Oahu Railroad near Waiau yes
terday afternoon, resulting in the death
of Chinese infant and the injuring
of its mother. According to the state
ments of the trainmen the accident was
due to the Chinese woman losing her
presence of mind.
AS the regular $3.50 passenger train
was approaching the station at Waiau
the engineer noticed a Chinese woman
carrying an infant strapped on her
back walking along the side of the
track toward the depot. She also car
ried two pals of water slung by a
stick over her shoulders. Shortly be-
fore the whistle was sounded the wo-
man stepped across the track and con-
tinued along narrow path on the left
hand side of the track. The engineer
sounded the whistle and the bell was
rung as the train approached the wo-
man but instead of stepping from the
path into a little ditch at the side, she
bore in toward the track. 1t was i'm
possible to stop the train although the
brakes were applied, and the bumps of
brakes were applied, and the bumper Of
about the hip knocking her and the
child into the ditch.
When the trainmen went back to her
assistance it was found that beyond
a sight shaking up and a bad bruse
the woman was uninjured but the child
had not Jared so we'll for it's little
skull was fractured. Either the in
fant's head had been injured by strik-
ing against a rock in the ditch or being
hit by the engine. The trainmen are
inclined to think that the fracture was
due to the former cause. In any event
the child died within a short time, after
being taken to it's home which was
close to the station.
AS soon as the railroad officials here
learned of the occurrence they dis
patched DR.. Cooper the regular rail-
road physician in a special train to
the scene of the accident. Owing to
there being no Interpreter it was I'M
possible to learn even the woman's
name or much about the extent of
her injuries. The physician did what
was possible for her and then return
ed to the city.
The authorities of the Eva district
where the accident occurred, We're no.
titled and an inquest was ordered held
today.
The coroner's jury decided at the in
quest today that the child had come to
it's death through the carelessness of
the mother.

DEMOCRATS GOING TO HILo.
Leading Lights of the Party Expected
Next Week.

HILO, August 1.-THE expected ar
rival of Prince David Kawananakoa,
John Wise, f. B. McClanahan and
ether Democratic luminaries of arc
iignt magnitude in Hilo, is announced
for next week. These gentlemen, it is
supposed. will strengthen the faithful
and proselyte the unbelievers in a
bunch, so that not to be a Democrat
thereafter will be the same as being
dead.
Whether this is true or not, it is
quite evident that the Democrats up
here are already far more active than
the Republicans, and it behooves the
latter to be getting a move on if they
expect to catch the train. Very few
political birds are brought down by a
rusty gun i'm political-club chimney
corner. The elections aren't so far
away as Christmas. not by several
rows of apple trees, and if the Repub-
licans intend to do anything on the
sidewalk and watching the procession
so by, they would better be getting at
it.-Hilo Tribune

LEUNG WRITES TO FRIENDS
MAY GO TO PEKING WITH ALLIED
TROOPS.
The Reform Party's Provisional Gov
ernment to be Established in the Near
i. Future in Shanghai.

The arrival of a steamer from the
orient is always a signal for large
gathering of Chinese and Japs at the
post office all of them looking for mail
At this time it brings out the Bow
Wongs in full force, as the latter have
correspondents in Shanghai, Canton,
Singapore and other ports, who are
keeping them posted on the progress OF
events as viewed from the Reform
Party point of view.
BY the Hong Kong Maru the local
Bow Wong society received it's first
word of Leung Chi-tso since he left
Honolulu on sudden summons from the
far East Leung wrote that he arrived
in Tokyo on July 2S and would stay
there three days He may go to Peking
with the troops of the allies.
The Provisional Government oe the
Reform Party will be established in
Shanghai in the very near future, say
advices from the revolutionists received
by their co-workers here. Kong Yu
Wei is still in Singapore, beyond the
. reach of rewards from the imperial gov
ernment, but other reformers are de-
clared to be working in secret on Chi
nese territory and the Reform Party,
say the Shanghai correspondents will
soon announce it's provisional govern
ment, making known the names of all
the members. This will be the formal
beginning of the movement by which
the Bow Wongs hope to overthrow the
Manchu dynasty with Chinese army
raised in the southern provinces.
Leung Ch-tso speaks of re-entering
! Chinese territory, under protection of
the troops of Japan, and making the
trip to Peking which it is expected that
the allied troops will soon make. His
acquaintance with the situation there
and intimate relations with those who
are close to the emperor might be of
value in treating with the forces in
Peking when the crucial time came, es-
pecially in the matter of rescuing the
legations.
The Bow Wongs and other Chinese re-
ceived scores of letters by the Hong
Kong Maru, many of them telling of the
fates that had been met by friends and
relatives in their native land, as re-
suit of the terrible political storm that
has broken over the country, others
describing the plans and hopes of the
reform party.

ETHER.

DR. w. Johannsen Of Copenhagen has
developed the practical application of
his discoveries of the influence of ether
upon plants, and he finds that the time
necessary to bring certain species TO
bloom may be shortened as much as
from one to six weeks. The specimens
to be treated are taken in the latter
part of the resting period and placed in
tight chambers in which an amount of
ether equal to 25 to 60 parts of every
100 900 parts of enclosed air is allowed
to vaporiZe. This treatment is cOntin-
ued for SO to As hours at a temperature
of from 62 degrees to 66 degrees F.,

been attained with tulips and numerous
other plants.
