The prospectus reads as follows:

ENvOYS DICTATE TERMS.
China Must Execute Eleven Boxer Chiefs.

Chiefs.
 Dr. Morrison, wiring to the London Times from Picking Sunday, says:
 Pressed by the common desire for speedy termination of present conditions, the foreign enyoys have finally agreed to the following terms, to be presented in conjoint note, which, subject to the ap- proval of the governments, will be press ed upon China as the basis of a prelimi- nary treaty:
 "China shall erect a monument to Bar sn von Kstteler on the site where he was murdered and send an imperial prince to Germany to convey an apology. She shall inflict the death penalty upon Il princes and officials already named and suspend provincial examinations for five years where the outrages occurred. In future all officials falling to prevent antiforeign outrages within their jurisdiction shall be dismissed and punished. (This is a modi- 6cation of MT. Conger's proposal)
 'Indemnity shall be paid to the states, corporations and individuals. The tsung- li-yamen shall be abolished and its func- tions vested In a foreign minister. Ra- tional intercourse shall be permitted with the emperor, as in civilized countries.
 'The forts at Taku and the other forts on the coast of Chilli shall be razed and the importation of arms and war material prohibited. Permanent legation guards shall be maintained and also guards of communication between Picking and the sea.
 Imperial proclamations shall be post ed for two years throughout the empire suppressing Boxers.
 "The indemnity Is to include compensa- ton for Chinese who suffered through be- ing employed by foreigners, but no com pensation for native Christians. The words missionary and Christians do not occur in the note"

ICE TRUST CHARGES.

Mayor Van wyck's Reply to Gov
 srnor Roosevelt.
 The New York World publishes the full text of the mayors answer to the charges in the matter of the American Ice company. The answer Is addressed to Theodore Roosevelt, governor of the state of New York. In his reply the mayor says that it is an answer to the charges preferred against him by David Ferguson and Louis Southworth. He says that he does not own any stock in any ice company and that he has no d. rect or indirect interest in any such com pany.
 He says that in April, 1898, he bought from c. W. Morse, president of the American Ice company, 6,OOO shares of stock for $250,OOO, paying $50,OOO in cash and the balance in three notes, which were finally paid in full out of the interest on the stock.
 The mayor says be owned prior to April, 1899, stock in the Knickerbocker Ice company, which he exchanged in May, 1899, for American Ice company stock share for share.
 The mayor then goes on to say that when he was served with Justice Gay nor's order in the latter part of May he did own $500 shares of stock of the American Ice company and that bis at tention was for the first time in the latter part of May called to the fact that the American Ice company had contracts with the city to supply ice and that it owned stock in the Consolidated Ice com pany, which had leases of docks from the city. Until that time he had no knowl- edge that the American Ice company or the Knickerbocker Ice company of Maine ever did or ever would have any contract or other relation with the city or that the Consolidated Ice company had any leases with the city, that when advised of the facts he began to sell his stock and con- tinued to sell until June 2S, 1900, when the last stock was sold.

 Heipfulness of Prayer.
 Now, if God has during these re- marks shown us the uses, the impor- tance, the blessedness of prayer, sup pose we try to do what Job did when be prayed for his eIasperators. Many of us at the beginning of this subject felt that while we could pray for our selves and pray for those who were kind to us we never could reach the high point of religious experience In which we could pray for those who an- noy us and make us feel worse instead of feeling better. That was Matter horn, that was an Alp, to the top of which we feared we could never climb. but we thank God that by his omnipo- tent grace we have reached that height at last. Let us prayl Oh, Christ, who didst pray for thine assassins, we now pray for those who despitefully use us and say all manner of evil against us- For their eternal salvation we suppli- cate. When time Is no more. may they reign on thrones and wear coronets and sway scepters of heavenly domin- ion. Meanwhile take the bitterness from their soul and make them soon think as well of us as now they think evil Spare their bodies from pain and their households from bereavement. After all the misunderstanding and controversies of this life are over may we keep with them eternal jubilee in the mansions on the hill, and as thou dldst turn the captivity of Job when be had prayed for those who badly used him, and health came to his body and prosperity to his estate, now that we have by thy grace been able to make supplication for our antagonists. cure our diseases, if we are III; and restore our estate, If n has been scattered; and awaken gladnass In our homesteads, if they have been bereft; and turn the captivity of our physical pain or hnan- cial misfortune or mental distress. and thine shall be the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

At one of their joint discussions which took place In Kentucky some years ago Tom Stuart, then editor of the Winchester Democrat, gave his op- ponent, l. N. Boone, a descendant of the great Daniel, a blow that fairly knocked him out of the race for the legislature.
 Boone was making his regular speech, and at the proper place in 1t he refer red to the matter of his relation to the toiling masses. My friends" said he, holding up pair of hands that looked as If they had not been washed In a week, ito let you see for yourself that am horny handed son of toll. I ask you to look at these hands, and," turn ing to Stuart, 'T would ask my pale faced young friend from the city what he thinks of themT
 Stuart was on his feet in a minute "I do not desire to embarrass my dis ttnguished opponent, ladies and gentle men," he said. with bow, but I would say that think that they need soap and water"
 It was such an apparent case that the crowd took hold at once with a shout, and Boone was completely floor ed, and later Stuart was elected.-Ar- ronauf

It is laying hold of al- mightiness, omniscience and omnipres- ence at one and the same time. Prayer enlists all divine and angelic re-enforce- ment. Prayer Is laying hold of a pulley fastened to the heavenly throne. Prayer Is the first breath of a new born soul, and 1t is heard In the last gasp of earthly Christian experiences.

NUUANU VALLEY RESIDENCE is
DESTROYED.
A Recently Discharged Japanese Ser
want Is Suspected of Arson-Faxon
Bishops Home Laid In Ashes.

The residence of Faxon Bishop, on
Nuanu avenue, just below Buena Vista
Hospital, was totally destroyed by an
incendiary fire between and o'clock
this morning. Mr.. Bishop and family
were living temporarily at Waikiki, but
had left all their furniture and house,
hold goods in the place. Everything
in the house was lost water not being
available for the fire department
That the house was deliberately fired
by some one, is the opinion of all who
have investigated the matter A jap
aneSe servant with whom the owner
recently had some trouble, ana who
was discharged, is suspected of the
crime, and a search for him was begun
at once by the police. There was no
one residing in the house-two servants,
who had been left in charge by Mr..
Bishop, occupying a small cottage on
the premises. These two, both Japan
ese, were found asleep in their places
after the flames had begun to spread.
The fire was discovered by Mrs Wal
ker, the makai neighbor of the Bishops,
and by people in the Buena Vista Hos
pital, and Mr.. Bishop at Waikiki, and
the fire department were telephoned to.
The flames made great headway, and
the fire was soon visible all over the
city. The fire department was power
less owing to the lack of sufficient
water supply, and the fire was not eX-
tiguished until it had destroyed the
house and all it's contents. The loss
is something like $4,000, covered by
$1,000 insurance.
The destroyed residence was an old
house, in which a number of wealthy
and we'll known citizens have had their
homes. 1t has been the residence of
Chief Justice Allen, Augustus Williams
and c. Bolte, and had been owned by
Mr.. Bishop since 1893. He moved to
! Waikiki for a short stay last Friday.
| Mr.. Bishop will probably rebuild on
! the same site.
The run of the fire department
to the scene of the fire was
matter of rules and not of the
| hope of doing any good. Had the en-
gines arrived there at the very begin
ming of the fire they would have beer
IS useless as a wheeI-barrow, for the
reason that there was not drop OF
water to be had. The firemen knew this
before they started, but the run had tc
| be made.

CDMY 1T N&R ON SHIPPING MEN nMP TAB ON TIE A& DETAILS Of TIE HOMICIDE
LIVELY CONTEST ON THE WATER
FRONT.
Turk & Lewis, and Manager Smith of
the Seamen's Club, at Outs-Deser-
tions From Vessels.

Manager C. e. Smith of the Seamen's S
Club, is on the warpath against the
shipping master business, making one
more obstacle in the way of recent
arrivals who have begun to handle sail
ors as they should be handled-from
the boarding house point of view. Hon
olulu's water front just now is the
scene of as lively a competition for
control of the man-shipping business
as is to be found in any large port, with
Turk & Lewis getting the cream of the
traffic, There is no doubt that the two
latter know their business very well,
and they have the support of a num-
ber of captains.
Smith says the shipping business is an
infamous trade that ought, to be broken
up and that it is in direct opposition
to the influence of the club. The club
was established in order to give a place
where sailors in port can read and en-
joy other recreation without getting
drunk at the same time" said Smith
while the shipping business depends
mostly on getting the men into saloons
and filling them up. These shipping
men have gone after me, because
am conducting a place that keeps men
out of their power, and they have
charged me with doing shipping. Now
it is war to the knife.
lIt SIlppluB DuSlneSS SIMPLY makes
slaves of the sailors. The shipping
masters handle the men like so many
cattle, and if they are to take hold
here, Honolulu will be simply another
place where the poor seaman is g
helpless victim without a home or g
chance to do anything but lose what
he earns. If there are any laws here
by which the men can be protected
propose to help in protecting them. II
the Seamen's Club l have tried to hell
seamen who are in port, and those whC
| founded the club furnished a place
where men could stay and enjoy them
selves on shore without any cost tC
them. No sailor ever pays anything
here, and none ever will.
To-day was stopped on the stree
and insulted by these shipping men
They seem to want war and they will

approaching, and the captains of thest
ships find welcome allies in the ship
ping men. Desertions continue alonl
the front, and it is stated that there ar
shipping men visiting the vessels il

leave their jobs. Today Mr. Smith wa
at the police station interviewing tn
marshal about the matter. He says tina
the shipping men get all the sailor
money and that they ought to be rul
out Of town. The shipping men say tina
he is doing shipping without a license
This Afternoon warrants were issue
for the arrest of both Turk q Lewis Of
| charges of abusive language an
threats to do violence. The complainin
| witness is Mr.. Smith, who says tina
the men met him and threatened an
abused him on the street this morning.
