Amendment.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia vote is due

Debate under the ten minute rule, We'd
nesday, was rather lively.
Late III the afternoon a test vote, in

Chandler rep. n. HI offered an
amendment to authorize the President
to appoint commissioners TO any inter
national bimetalhc conference that
might be called. Waleott said this was
existing law and senator's on both sides
declared il a mere dodge. 1t was de-
feated by vote Of 45 to %. The Chand-
Ter proposition ont of the way, the dis
cusSion proceeded on the amendment
brought III by the finance committee
providing that the provisions of the bill
are not intended TO place any obstacles
in the way of international bimetalism.
Some of the opposition senators ar
raigned the Republicans for reporting
the amendment, declaring they Were in
sincere and that the proposition was in
tended to hoodwink the people and to
catch votes,
AT one point, Mr. Allison suggested
that the trouble with senators on the
Democratic side was that they were not
bimetallists. They stood for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, aud
Were silver monometallists. He said:
There is not single line or syllable
in this bin which puts in the way Of In

Mr.. Jones Ark. expressed his surprise
that the bimetallic amendment had not
been made a part of the bill when the
latter was reported. He believed it was
an afterthought. and had been brought
about by demands Of Republican bimet-

YANKEES FOOL THE BEAR
TROUBLE BETWEEN RIVAL MIN
ING INTERESTS.
American and English who Think They
Narrowly Escaped Being Sent to
The Prisons of Siberia.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 2S.-
After an eventful trip OF several
months the steamer Samoa returned to
this port with the story of an exciting
struggle over the supremacy in some
mining concessions in Siberia. The
vessel was fitted out originally at an
expense of $150,000 for the purpose of
conveying to Siberia a party of repre-
sentatives of an East Siberia syndi-
cate, a company which had been form
ed of American and English capitalists
who had secured from some Russian
concessionarists, the right to mine in
the tract obtained from the Russian
government. G. d. Roberts was at the
head of the English and American
party while G. Ragdonovich represent
ed Count Won Lariosky who had OBJ
tanned the concession.
Roberts was supposed to be the COM
mander of the expedition but the Rus
sian and he began to clash soon after
sailing. Captain Johnson of the Samoa
was in a quandary who to obey. When
the vessel neared Chinese waters Ro-
berts engaged 20 Chinese as laborers.
According to the terms of the agree
ment with the Russian people there
were to be an equal number of Rus
slams employed in the mining so Rag
donovich Immediately hired 80 Russians
claiming they were to act as laborers.
The instant that he got the larger force
he tried to assume the upper hand and
direct the movement of the ship. He
threatened to put Roberts into irons.
Roberts called a consultation of the
Americans and English and told them
that he thought Ragdonovich wanted
to get rid of them by putting them into
Siberian prisons. Accordingly they
'doped' the whiskey given to the Rus
slams and that night when the men
were sleeping from the effects of the
drug, secured their rifles and revolvers
and battened down the matches. Rag
donovich raved and stormed the next
morning when he found that the course
of the steamer had been changed from
north west to northeast but he had no
other course than to be landed at Alas
ka.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the American authorities and
it was decided that Roberts had been
right in his conduct. Captain johnson
was allowed to take Ragdonovich and
| the other Russians to Siberia and ther
return to Alaska for Roberts party. II
is said that the concessions contain
very valuable mineral land and that
| the Americans and English propose tC
hold on to their lease The Russians
are thought to have tried to get rid OF
the Anglo-SaXon in order to monopolizt
| the gold fields.

THE LAUNCH w1TCHwATER
A Splendid Addition to the Local Plea
sure Fleet.

Archie Young's new launch, the
Whitewater, was given it's first trial on
Saturday, in a run to Pearl Harbor and
back, which was repeated on Sunday.
The launch is the fastest and most ele-
gantly fitted craft of the kind in these
waters, and her sailing qualities were
proved to be fully up to the high eX-
pectations of Commodore Young.
The launch made the run to Pearl
harbor in an hour and fifteen minutes
which is the best time ever made for
the trip a distance of about IL miles
She proved to be a splendid sailor, cut
ting the rollers like big steamer and
taking on little water. Her cabin is q
beautiful one excellently fitted, 'and she
has electric lights and bell buttons
throughout.
Commodore Young showed himself
an excellent host on the two trips made
by the launch, and the salutes and
dipping of flags by yachts he passed
We're all expressive of the general wei

FIRST OF ALL PRINCE TUAN
MUST GO.
All Troops Except a Legation Guard
are to be Withdrawn-Amoy and
Niuchwang open Ports.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-America's
definite policy in China developed fur
ther today when an outline or the ms
tructions sent TO Minister Conger was
allowed by the State Department to be-
come public property.
The instructions to Minister Gonger
substantially follow: ~
First Prince Tuan to be renioved
from office and some one acceptable TO
the powers be appointed in his place.
Second, Minister Conger represents
the United States as plenipotentiary
and has no connection whatever with
mediation for China.
Third, any agreeable program out
lined by the majority of the powers, the
stipulations to be less severe than those
of Germany, may be accepted by Con-
ger.
Fourth, in the event of continued
disagreement between the powers with
China Minister Conger is to proceed to
negotiate with Earl Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching solely with regard to
American interests and with a view to
determining the attitude of the United
States as to future actions.
Fifth, Minister Conger to plainly in
form the representatives of the powers
that the United States intends to guard
Annoy and Niuchwang with a large
naval force solely in the interest of
- NN'S AiSiAe' anu eh"t oSiuC AAOiil lSGe-
tion guard at Peking no American
troops will be permitted to remain in
China"
These instructions are intended to
meet with a least partial approval from
all the interested powers. Germany GER
tainly will agree with the first propo-
sition-that Tuan be deposed from his
newly acquired power, and this ap-
proval on her part may lead TO a closer
understanding between Washington
and Berlin than exists now. France, it
is expected, will readily join with the
United States in these general propo-
sitiOns

CATTLE DESTROY FORESTS
DIR. MAXWELL SAYS THEY DO
THE MOST WORK.
Damage Done That 1t VIII Require 25
Years to Repair--Forestry Commits
sioner is Needed.

eff forest destruction in Hawaii goes
on on such a scale as 1t has been done
in the past, / predict that in few
years the mountain rainfall will be so
uncertain that many of our plantations
that are dependent upon the mountain
water supply will be in a serious
plight" said DIR. Maxwell of the
Planters Association yesterday. The
doctor was asked for his views regard
ing the destruction of forest lands.
He has made careful observations while
he has been connected with the Planters
Association and is emphatically of the
opinion that it is matter of the
highest Importance to the islands that
measures should be taken to stop the
destruction of trees.
In my OPINION. continued the doc
tor, 1.-The chief factor in the destruc-
tion of the forests has been the cat
tie that are allowed to range wild.
There are those who say that insects
have been the chief factor. Just what
the insects have done is a question on
which only an entomologist can speak
with authority.
THE indication, however, is quite
clear that the destruction of forests
has followed the ranging of cattle and
have no doubt that the cattle are
the chief culprits
"It happens that many of the trees
here are surface rooters and they de-
pend for their existence upon the un-
derbrush. When cattle get into the
| forest preserves they trample down
the ferns and other underground and
! thus expose the roots to the air. In this
way they prevent the conservation of
moisture, and the decay of the trees
! begins at the roots. The dying is first
noticed at the crown of course, and the
insects attack dying tree, which, l
suppose, led many casual observers to
| suppose that insects were the first
cause of the trouble"
DR.. Maxwell advises the appointment
| of a forestry commissioner to inves-
tigate the matter of destroying or pre-
serving forests, with authority to en-
force it's decisions. The matter of de-
Gliding where forests may be destroyed,
for the sake of using valuable land, and
where not, is a foresters' question,
says the doctor, and therefore such a
man should be secured and employed to
investigate the conditions that exist.
1.-The damage already done is very
great" said DR.. Maxwell, Il should
say that the destruction of forests has
gone so far that a quarter of century
will be needed, even if work is begun
at once, to repair the damage.
"It should be understood that the
damage wrought by cattle and the
damage wrought by the clearing OF
forests for agricultural or other rea-
sons must not be confused since the
harm done by clearing is nothing com
pared to that caused by the cattle

DARING STREET ROBBERY.
A Big Sack of Silver Taken From a
Wagon.

A very daring robbery was commit
ted in front of Kalihi Japanese store
this morning. The sum of S11750 was
taken from the wagon of a merchant
named Mirashi in bag, the robber,
who is said to have been a Chinese,
running away with the sack when Mi
rashi was in the store,
Mirashi started out to do some buying
for his store, according to the state
ment he made at the police station, TAX
ing with him a sack containing $117.50
in silver coin. For a few minutes he
left the wagon with the money in it.
to go in the store. When he returned
the sack was gone.
A Chinese who was making rapid pro-
gress from the scene was pointed out
to Mirash by other Japs as the men
who had taken the sack but Mirashi
did not know and he didn't see that the
Chinese had the sack, so he did not give
chase. Instead he made a visit to the
police station to tell his troubles.
Mirashi says he left the wagon with
his bag of coin in it for about ten min
utes and he seems to have little idea
who took 1t.
