Miss Dame was urged to join in the

She soon after organized the New

Carolina to investigate the condition

thy Dix vigorously protested against
the sending of a woman on such a mis-

started on her journey. The result OF
her Investigations, which were report

was that the conveys Argo and Fulton

such service.

health. In my interview with him he

IoIe il Is declded whether they are to
remain or are to be sent back to their
own country.
Seven OF the immigrants are quar-
tered on the southeast corner of Broad
way and Kearny streets over the saloon
kept by John Tarato, who was instru-
meAtal in their escape, The other
three are living In 4 lodging-house at
27O Brannan street.
Just what the legal status of the i'm
migrants is is question. They cannot
be extradlted, for they have committed
no crime either In this country or their
own. 1ney cannot be sent on to Homo
lulu, for this country does not recog-
nize the contract tnat requires their
presence there. The only solution of
their case from the standpoint of the
Government seems to be to send them
back to Austria on the ground that
they are not entitled to remain in this
country under the immigration laws.
They desire to remain here and their
friends promise that II they be allowed
TO stay they will be given work sufii-
cient to keep them from becoming pub

BIG INCREASE IN
TAXES COLLECTED
Report Of Assessors for the Biennial
Period Ending December
81. 1899.

The report of the tax assessors to
the Minister of Finance for the bien-
NAL period ending December 31st, 1899,
compiled by Jonathan Shaw, assessor
of the First Division, is, in brief, as
follows: The number OF personal
taxes collected under warrants was SOS
in 1898 and S73 in 1899, and the num-
ber of summonses served upon de.in-
quent property payers was GIG in
1913 and oo9 in 1899. or these sum-
monses 263 were settled out OF court
IN 1898 and 22S in 1899, while judgment
was rendered against Boz I'm lS3o and
5l1 in 1899. 1t is difficult to make at
dill close estimate OF the amount OF
taxes which will be collected Tor the
next two years. | believe, reports Mr..
Shaw, that the collections OF personal
taxes in the district of Honolulu will
fall short several thousand dur
ing the present year owing to the fact
Ihat scarcely any of the Chinese or
Japanese firms have made returns OF
their employees. their places of abode
and business being destroyed and the
men thereby scattered. | believe, how
ever, that there will be a large in
crease in the number OF laborers en-
ployed on the plantations in the out
side districts of Oahu, although per-
haps not enough to make up the num-
ber that we shall fall short in Homo
lulu.
mere has been an increase of S421,-
3SS.1l in the total amount of Taxes COL
lected in the Biennial Period ending
December 81, 1899, over the amount for
the previous period, principally owing
to the increased general prosperity OF
the country. Included in this is an in
crease of $3.50 in the number of Per-
sonal Tax Payers for the Biennial
Period; this increase is chiefly caused
by the large number Of laborers en-
ployed by the new plantations.
The total amount of faxes for the
next Biennial Period is estimated at
50 .225 100000.
This will be an approximate annual
increase over the collections for 1899
of r44,500.00. The above figures will be
founu as reliable as any estimates
which can be made at present.

CHICAGO, April 25.--A special to the
Record from Victoria, B. c., says
According to news received here by
impress OF China, great preparations
are being made by the rebels of China,
for big revolution. A Macao cores
pondent says there is not the slightest
doubt that the near future will see a
vast army of the rebels rising in the in
terror. During the four months of the

rifles and great quantity of ammuni-
tion and other war material were taken
inland from that port and colony. On

be merchandise, but which held 5000
rifles and a large stock of powder and

William Carson by the steamship
Claudine on December 81, 1899. Acting
Judge Sllliman, of the Circuit Court in
admiralty, rende. ed this decision in the
matter yesterday. The owners of the
William Carson were George U. Hind,
c. A. Spreckels, Rudolph Spreckels, G.,
Wempe, William Carson, II. d. Ben
d.xen, James II. Ne.son, NJ. o. Slversen,
+. o. Johansen, George A. Nelson, n.
j. Mcleod, G. NJ. Fagerlund. j. S. Hol-
lingsen, John Piltz and Henry M.
Wetherbee.
The decision of Judge Sllllman cites
the facts proved on the trial Of the case
which began on February 8. The value
Of the Carson is set at $4,000 and the
judgment is for the full value. The de-
Clslon goes on to say that the Carson
was struck by the Claudine at S:40
o'clock in the evening while on yoy-
age from Newcastle to Honolulu and
while sailing free on southwest course
at rate of between two and half
and three knots an hour. The Claudine
was on a course, east three quarters
south. making for Mo.okai at about ten
knots an hour.
The Carson had a proper watch on
deck and when the danger became ap-
parent 1t was impossible to avoid the
collision. The night was dark but the
atmosphere and sky clear. The Carson
had all the lights prescribed by law.
II is alleged that the Claudine was
not properly manned or officered. that
there was no lookout or competent off,
Ger In charge of the ship and that the
collision was due to an insufficient crew
and the incompetency of the second
mate, Roderlck McNeill, who was in
charge at the time.
Judge Silliman reviews the evidence
and the contentious of the defense and
censures the RECKLESS carelessness of
McNeill." He says, Some vigorous
might be made on the fault of
a steamer carrying passengers which
was so lacking in discipline as \the
Clandine seems TO have been but II Is
sufficient that judgment for the loss is
awarded against her owner"

FACT CREATES A CRISIS
The Ottoman Minister at Washington
May Receive His Passports
Very Soon.

CoNSTANTINOPLE, April 22.-The
Porte has replied to the American de-
mands, stating that Turkey will com
pensate American missionaries under
the same conditions as in the case OF
other foreign subjects.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-At a late
hour tonight the State Department had
not received official advices from the
representative at Constantinople in re-
gard TO the claims. The audacious
proposition will not be entertained for
a moment. An official OF the State De-
partment said tonight the claims OF
tied and the proposal now made by the
Sultan that the United States should
submit Its claims for indemnity to the
Turkish courts was ridiculous
The Ottoman courts are, Of course,
composed entirely of Mohammedans.
They meet in secret and their methods
OF procedure are such that no civilized
nation would submit to them. 1t would
not take them long 10 throw the Case
of Christian out OF court, and to al
low such courts to decide CLAIMS OF
missionaries would be preposterous.
Treaties between the united states
and Turkey give American citizens the
right to be tried in courts presided
over by the American Minister or Con-
sui. If the Sultan persists in this
course All Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish
Minister, may be given his passports
sooner than was anticipated and
strong measures may be taken to bring
the Turks to terms. The question has
gone beyond the court stage and 1t now
remains tor Turkey to carry out the
promises 1t has made repeatedly.
Neither Secretary Hay nor the Turk
ish Minister has been advised of the re-
ported action of the Porte in replying
to the American demands. In the alb
sence OF official information and OF the
specific conditions OF the reply, ofii-
cials here prefer not to discuss the
matter, but express the hope that
satisfactory settlement OF the differ
ences between the two countries may
