Women,s ENLARGED Sphere.

Women earn their daily bread in
almost every branch of human in
dustry. Women make or help to
make collins, bricks, ties, sewer pipes,
tools, boxes, barrels, furniture. They
are in all the professions; they are
stockholders and partners in various
kinds of business, and as to the more
conventional occupations of women
they are galore. In the more I'M
usual way we have had woman an
thropologist, woman forester, wom-
en- who mine and women who deal
in stocks. One woman spent fifty
years making bead house and late
ly was found dead with her unfinished
work before her.

HAWAIIAN ELECTION RESULT.
Royalist Candidate Elected Dele
gate to Congress
ON AN ANTI-WHITE ISSUE.

Honolulu, via of San Francisco, Nov.
I'D. S. Wilcox, the Royalist candi-
date, has been elected Hawaiian
delegate TO congress by a small ma
jority over Samuel Parker, the Repub-
lican candidate. His strong vote
among the natives in outside districts
carried the day against the white and
intelligent native voters of the cities.
The result of the election produced
much depression among all whites, as
Wilcox was strongly opposed by Re-
publicans and Democrats alike. His
campaign was an anti-white canvass.
with promises on the part of some of
his campaign workers that if he were
elected Queen Liliuokalani would be
replaced on the throne. The result of
the vote shows the native bitterness
over annexation to be still alive.
The independent native party has
carried the house of representatives by
large majority. They will have four
teen members of the house, with nine
Republicans and six Independents and
Democrats. In the senate there will
be seven Republicans, eight indie
pendents and one Democrat. With the
Independents in control lively session
is anticipated as they are against the
ruling regime. 1t is likely, as a result
of the election, that congress will be
asked to establish some limitations
upon the voting privilege. Many of
the whites want property qualifica-
ton for voters. 1t is argued that, in
voting upon simple color line many
of the natives have shown themselves
unfit for universal suffrage.
1t is said that Mr.. Parker will go to
Washington in any event and that,
though he will have no official title,
he will look after the interests of the
the islands

Escape From Lansing.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 19.-One of
the most daring and successful escapes
on record by three convicts at the
state penitentiary at Lansing occurred
last week. The dash for liberty, for
one at least, was brief, as he fell with
bullet through his head from Deputy
Warden Thompson's revolver before
he could gain cover The three con-
victs were Sam Smith, E. f. Estell and
Ben Cravens. They made wooden
pistol and covered it with tin foil: with
this they frightened their guard in the
cool mine, compelling him to take
them up the shaft, and then scared
other guards until outside the walls.
The outside guards used their guns
and, Swartz, one of the guards was
shot with gun the convicts had taken
from another guard. Deputy Warden
Thompson then placed the shot above
mentioned.

The noo6er from China.

The real yellow peril" will be pres
ent when the Chinese are awakened
to the full knowledge of the resources
of their empire and have their atten-
ton strongly directed to manufacture
ing. What the civilized world has
most to fear is the arousing of China
from her present lethargic condition
to realization of the possibilities
within her reach. The Chinese are in
dustrious and thrifty. They are will
ing to work and to work for small
wages. They can easily be taught to
do almost anything. They quickly
become expert operatives in cotton
factories and it would not be difficult
to teach them to be skillful workmen
in all kinds of manufacturing.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE minister
from. Nicaragua, Senior Don Luis Cor
rea, when asked as to the Nicaraguan
canal affair, said: 81 spent some time
in conference with the president and
members of the cabinet at Managua
and am happy to say that President
Zelaya and his associates, and in fact,
the whole country, are enthusiastic
on the future of the great waterway.
They are awaiting with interest the
developments at Washington, and are
hopeful and confident that congress
will pass the bill authorizing the
opening of negotiations with the coun-
tries interested in the canal and be-
ginning of the actual work of
construction. In that connection I
have the necessary instructions to
facilitate in every desirable way the
cooperation between the govern
ments. 1t can be said generally that
Nicaragua stands ready to do her full
share in carrying forward this great
project"
The old concession, he said, had
ceased to attract attention. 80 that"
he added, Il am happy to say that
Nicaragua is free to negotiate with
anyone ready to negotiate concerning
the canal, and especially the govern
ment of the United States"
