Charming Charity.

There is clergyman at Lihue
(writes a correspondent whose heart
has gone out to the starving people
OF India and who is collecting
money for them in novel but
very pleasing manner. When Luna
is looking down in her brightest
way on the Garden Island generally
and Lihue specially the reverend
gentleman gathers around him eight
beautiful Hawaiian girls belonging
to his flock, and armed with guitars,
ukuleles, and other sweet instru-
ments. A "bus" is awaiting the
party. The parson and the sweet
singers squeeze into the vehicle and
then they go forth serensding the
good people Of Lihue and passing
the hat around for contributions to
the poor Hindoo. The noble PEG.
pie Of Lihue may swear under their
breath when the parsons "bus"
wakes them up but how many can
resist the plaintive notes OF "Ahi
Viola, Moanalua" and other sweet
hymns sung under the direction Of
man OF the cloth. And when the
moon hides her face the noble band
goes homo and the Indian starva
ton fund has been swelled, and all
sleep soundly on a conscience which
says "nobly done" Who wouldn't be

CALL BUREAU, WELLINGTON HOTEL,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.--France is the
only nation that has thus far &C
copied without reserve Rnssia's pro-
posal to withdraw from Picking. 1t
is believed Japan will adopt the po-
sition assumed by the United States.
Great Britain's reply has not yet
been made, but the unofficial infor-
nation received at the State Depart
ment indicates that she views the
situation in much the same light as
as does this Government, Ger.
mauy's reply, as announced this
morning, declares her intention to
remain, and therefore, pointing to
the unanimous desire OF all the po-
wers, with the exception OF Russia
and France, to remain in Picking
the administration is giving consi-
deration to the next step that shall
be taken. In fact, what is believed
to be a Cabinet meeting was held
tonight at the Country Club 10 o
suburb of Washington. Having
taken the lead from the outset to
the entire satisfaction OF ell the
powers, it is considered good politics
to be prepared to act Immediately
after Japan, which will be the final
power to make reply to Russia
The dominant feature of the forth
coming note of this Government
will be the necessity OF complete
harmony OF action by the powers.
A high official said to-day that
harmony is more important than
any specific line OF action that shall
be adopted. 1t is not intended 10
withdraw from Picking, but Russlas
views are to be met half way That
is to say, the proposal will be consi'
dered- land, in fact, it is limited that
a suggestion to the same effect was
embodied in the reply Of Germany
that each power reduce its force in
Picking to limited number oil men,
the rest OF the troops to be Withdrawn
TO Tientsin. The Ministers can al
so return to TientsiD, If it is consi-
dered desirable, and open negotia'
tions with the Chinese Government
from that point. The American
proposition will therefore DO a com
promise and the authorities are
hopeful that it will suit Russia
which desires to entirely withdraw

KITCHENER AND ROBERTS.

South African Commander and Chief oi
tan OF for the Front.
LONDON, Feb. s.-While the suspense
regarding General Buffers movements
and the operations affecting the fate Of
Ladysmith continues unrelieved even by
the vagnest dispatches, there comes
from other quarters interesting news In
the announcement that Field Marshall
Lord Roberts and his chief Of staff, Ma.
jor General Lord Kitchener, have left
for the front. As this information WA
held up for several hours by the censor,
It seems to indicate that III important
movement il on foot.
Beers After Gatacre.
A dispatch from Sterkstroom an.
nounces that the Beers are attacking
General Gatacre from two directions.
Firing wal proceeding between the ont.
posts. A delayed Sterkstroom dispatch,
dated Monday, Feb. 8, says that q body
Of troops left the camp Feb. 3 and that
important Developments We're expected.
It Is quite probable that this explains
Lord Roberts departure and that the
commanders in chief wishes either to be
present at or supervise the long intended
movement by General Gatacre to join
forces with General Kelly Kenny, and
thence strongly reinforce General
French, completing the latter's work at
Colesberg and establishing without fear
Of serious opposition the advanced posi-.
ton for the main movement. This, Of
course, is greatly superstition, and
it can be confidently said that
the departure Of Lord Roberts and
Lord Kitchener for the front does
not indicate that the main advance
has begun. The commanders will prob.
ably be back In Cape Town within u
short time. 1t Is pointed out that the
term going to the front must not be In.
terpreted into the idea that q great
movement upon Pretoria, by way Of
Bloemfontein, has seriously commenced.
1t will be a month or perhaps much
longer before this can be brought about.

with sharp fighting, and news from

DISCUSSED THE TREATY.

Foreign Relations Committee Considers
the H~ay-pauncefote Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Feb S.-The senate
committee on foreign relations met to
consider the Nicaragua canal treaty.
The discussion was animated While
some opposition was manifested, it was
not Of such a character as to indicate the
defeat Of the treaty; but that it would
be amended there seemed to be littl,
doubt. One Of the amendments pro.
posed is that the whole of the Clayton.
Bulwer treaty shall be abrogated. 1T is
said by members Of the committee ia.
voring this change that there is no need
of keeping alive any portion Of the old
treaty. Another change suggested is in
regard to the protection Of the canal.
The treaty declares there shall be no
Notifications and it is said this will pre-.
vent the United States from erecting
batteries which are by some considered
absolutely necessary in view Of the in.
%surrections that occur from time to time
in South American countries. tits pos.
sible that this language will be modified
SO that such protection as the United
States deems necessary will be afforded
along the route Of the canal.

Substitute for BulWer. Clayton
Treaty Formulated by the
Secretary
And Adopted by the British
Ambassador Without
Alteration.
Hint Given That It Must Stand
or Fall Substantially
as 1t Is.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIT Is learned
that the text Of the Hay auncefote
treaty was the work of the state depart
ment. the British government accepted
the document just as 1t a drawn, SO
the responsibility for whatever is con.
tanned in the treaty and the form in
which it is expressed is chargeable en-.
tirely to the department. Department
officials are surprised at the amount Of
criticism that has been directed against
the treaty but feel confident that it will
be contaminated, providing it is not
amended, especially as to the fortiflca.
ton clause. 1t is insisted by the Of.
fcials that all amendment OH that
point would completely defeat the
treaty, and it is intimated that the OBJ.
lection will be two-fold, first from the
British government, and second, from
the president himself. The president is
said to regard the naturalization scheme
as completely obviating the necessity for
any Notifications for the canal, for, by
the terms Of that arrangement, every
one OF the maritime powers will pledge
itself to use it's army and navy, If need
be, to preserve the absolute neutrality
Of the canal, and Notifications will be
unnecessary.
Attention has been called to the state.
ment that no matter what differences Of
opinion may have existed up to this
time as to the living force Of the Clay.

point has been dissipated by the sigma.
