A CHIEFS VIEW.
Head OF Sam jose Fire Department
Makes Comment

Mir. Henry Ford, Chief OF the Fire
Department Of San Jose, Cahlornia, a
city about the size OF Honolulu, is
here for a vacation and to recuperate
from falling health. He remarked to a
frieru yesterday that the trip was
proving more beneficial than he had
anticipated.
Il have not allowed myself to worry
over the plague, new as the situation
Is to me, and so the balny air OF Ha-
wall has been of much benefit. Fur
thermore, | have profited in no small
measure by the work of the Honolulu
Fire Department /. burning the con-
demned and infected buildings in the
city. II Is not often such an object les

dental or unlooked-for destruction of a
building by fire affords very little OPP
portunity to gain new ideas in the
business of firehghting True, new
points are always being learned. but
unless the fire is one of extraord nary
size or occurs under peculiar circum-
stances, the work of the firemen Is
prett.; much tie same.

destruction by fire has no doubt been

wat might be accomplished by the ef-
ficlent department should bad fire

business community. I think Honolulu
Is safe in the hands of her firemen.

Territorial Bill.
WASHINGTON, January S.-The bill
creating a territorial form of govern
ment for Hawaii, will be brought up in
the Senate after the passage OF the
financial bill and the disposal OF the
Quay case, probably net before the first
week in February, if 80 soon. The bill
is substantially the same measure re-
ported favorably from the Committee
on Foreign Relations at the last Sos
sion of Congress. Ii was not consider
ed by the Senate then. and therefore
there will be considerable debate.
The opposition will be strong to the
provisions for delegate in Congress
and to property qualifications for vot-
ers. Some conservative Senators will
insist that by permitting Hawaii to be
represented in Congress a precedent
will be set for Puerto Rico and more
particularly for the Philippines. They
will hold that this will be the first step
toward admitting the Hawaiian islands
to statehood, a very dangerous propo-
sition In their view. II will also be
urged that the requirement OF property
qualifications for voters is contrary to
IL ideals OF the United States and a
very dangerous provision. Other OBJ
jections to the bill will be raised, but
these promise to be the most import
ant ones.
WASHINGTON, January 8 The
House Committee on Territories decid-
ed to-day to take up the Hawaiian bill

Commission will be heard.

RIVAL CABLE BILLS.
The scrymser Syndicate Argues for
a Private Line,

WASHINGTON, January 9.-An ex-
tended hearing was granted to-day by
the House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce 20 the Pacific Gable
Company of lew York. which Is in
reality the Scrymser syndicate. Argu-
ments were made by President Scrym-
STR and Vice-President Bayles of the
caoie company and w. B. Thurber of
New York in favor of the construction
OF the cable by pr.yat corporation
and against Government ownership.
The bill introduced by Representative
Sherman of New York seems to meet
with their approval, and hey particu-
larly object to Senator Hale's bill pre-
viding that the cable shall be laid by
vessels OF the Navy, an. when COM
pleted, turned over to the Postmaster
General for operati ton.
Rear-Admiral Bradford stated to the
committee that II was impractlcable to
use Navy vessels for such work. as
their capacity was not sufficient to car
ry coal and cable supplies. and they
were not properly constructed for cable
ships.
Scrymser estimated that the cost OF
a cable line to Honolulu, Guam. Md
way islands. Manila Shanghai. Hong
kong and japan would be $25OOC 900.
year ago half this sum was his es-
innate. He thought that the Govern
ment had better pay $500 900 year for
twenty wears for the transmission OF
official dispatches than to undertake
the construction maintenance and Oh

Herald Correspondents.

To HERALD WRITERs:-What do
the correspondents of the HERALD
association think of the annual meet
ing for this year? Shall we have it
on Thursday, September 6,at the Fair
Grounds, or shall we meet this year
on some Saturday in 0skaloosa, at
such place as the members with the
editors may elect? My objection to
the meeting at the Fair Grounds is
that so many of us fall getting there
and to meet at or p. m. is always
just as the big excitement of the af-
ternoon program is going on and it is
hard to hold the members of the as
ISOLATION together long enough to
transact business, much less to get
acquainted and have the full benefit
of such a meeting that we should
have. Now desire every member of
our association to express themselves
fully on this question through the
paper. Give your opinion as to the
time and place for holding the meet
ing. We would like to have good
meeting this year and have every re.
porter present so as to get better ac-
quainted. j. w. DoAK,

,By the President JOHN HAY. secre-
tary of State"
Reply Expected Soon.
The state department and the Chi
nese legation substantially agree in the
estimate of six to eight days as the time
necessary to get reply to the presi-
dents answer to the appeal Of the Chi
nese government. According to the
best information here, urgent messages
are being transmitted between Picking
and Shanghai by the ''hying express"
mentioned in Consul Fowler's cable
gram few days ago. This, according
to the Chinese, is relay system Of
mounted messengers similar to the old
pony service across the plains, and is
used when the wire communication is
interrupted. The relay riders make
200 miles a day. 1t is 400 miles from
Shanghai to Picking, and this seems to
agree very well with the speed made
in forwarding and returning the Com
ger message.
Assuming from Sheng's dispatch
that movement was on foot on the
18th to get the foreign ministers start
ed from Picking to Tientsin under es-
cort Of imperial troops, the state de-
partment would not be surprised to
get definite of them from the head
quarters Of the allied forces in short
time. The distance from Tientsin to
Picking is Is miles, and at this season
the trip is usually made by road from
Picking to Hong Choo, point on the
Pei-Ho II miles below the capital, and
the remainder of the way by boat. This
trip now would take four days, sup
posing the escort of imperial troops
met with no resistance from the insur-
gents. If the move from Picking was
made within two days after Sheng's
information was received it would be
possible that the legationers and
their escort are now in touch with
the headquarters of the allies, al
ways supposing that nothing serious
happened to the party on the road.
GermRny's Answer.
Berlin. July 25.-Count Won Buelow
the minister of foreign affairs, made
reply Tuesday to the appeal of the en-
peror of China for German mediation
between the powers and the Chinese
government. In substance, Count Won
Buelow said he would not submit the
telegram from the Picking government
so long as the fate of the legations and
other foreigners in Picking were not
ascertained and as long as the Chinese
government had not atoned for the
murder of the German minister to Pc
king Baron Won Ketteler, and given
guarantees that in future its conduct
will be in harmony with international
law and the usages of civilization.

Divorce TO Member OF Royal Family.
Grand Forks, N. d., July 25.-The
first divorce granted in North Dakota
to person of royal family has just
been issued by Judge Fiske to cousin
Of King Oscar of Sweden. The wom-
an, Princess Anna Josephine Charlotte,
ten years ago married Emil H. Halve-
son, young man of good family,
though her social inferior.
Death of Col. Liscum.
Col. Liscum was shot in the abdo-
men and died half an hour later. His
last words were: keep up firing"
The Ninth was ordered to support
the japanese, who were receiving an
enfilading fire. After crossing mud
wall half a mile from the city wall,
the Ninth shifted, advancing against
the thanking fire and reached a marsh
beside the river at the southwest cor
ner of the city. A body of Chinese in
a burned village under the wall, just
across the river, where they were
strongly barricaded, poured in a fire,
and whenever an American raised a
hand he was shot. ANordenfelt gun and
two small cannon were also trained
upon them. They lay in the mud all
day, without a surgeon to attend their
wounded, who were unable to move
or help the wounded, without food and
drinking the canal water. They had
exhausted their ammunition. except a
few rounds, which were retained in or
der to repel charge if it should be
made. None expected to escape. A
few reaching the rear reported that
half of the command had been killed
or wounded, including heat prostra-
tions in the estimate. After the Ameri-
cans had retired under cover of the
darkness they struggled back in squads
all night, pitifully exhausted and carry
ing their wounded. The American hos
pital was crowded and short of sur
geons, there having been no eXpecta-
ton of such losses.
The total losses of the allies were
about 500. The British lost 50, the Jap
anese estimate their killed at so, and
wounded at $50. The Russian estimate
their casualties at $50.
Praise for Japanese.
The japanese were the heroes of the
battle. Their fighting was remarkably
brave, and was praised by all their col
leagues. When some of the foreign of.
ficers counseled retreat at night the
Japanese general said: when my
men. move it will be forward" This
morning they charged the breaches in
the wall made by the artillery and
fought hand-tO-hand in the streets
Their conduct after the fight was
equally good as they refrained from
Iooting while some of the European
soldiers were having an .orgie. Dead
Cinnamon covered the walls and streets
of Tientsin. Fifty guns were captured;
the place was full of munitions of war
Many fires have been started, and most
of the city will probably be burned
The Chinese are retreating toward Pc
king.

Cattle Going hind,

Fort Dodge, July A.--Dr. D. e.
Baughman reports the fact that many
of the large cattle herds of Webster
county are attacked with specific
opthalmia which renders the cattle
blind and causes fat feeders to fall
away in flesh until they resemble
Missouri crow bats. The disease
exists at Badger, Manson, Callended,

resembles to their minds the eye dis
