China. and who has just reached Lon

respondent of the Associated Press yes
terday: The Boxers are the scum of
the population. They have no Uniform
organization. nor any official leaders.
Formerly they carried hroadSwords.
but now they have well managed mod
ern weapons undoubtedly supplied by
the imperial family. Before drilling
they throw themselves on the ground.
work themselves into n frenzy. and
then believe themselves iuvulnerable.
The empress doyyager has foStered

because of the wholesale desertionS
from her army under General TunC.

with some foreign power is imminent.
The empress dOwaSer. who becomes
more intensely anti-foreiSn as time
passes. has been greatly annoyed by
the work of the. Germans at kiao-
Chou. She desires to use force to stop
the reform movement, and is ready TO
defy the European powers. If the
Boxers are permitted to invade Pekin

RussO-Japanese War Inevitable.
The Pckin correspondent of The
Times, In Il long mail article dated
April -. which deals with Russo
Japanese rivalry in the far east, eX-
presses the opinion that war between
the two powers is inevitable. and that
it cannot be long delayed because of
Russia'S immense Chinese designs and
OF the hatred the Japanese feel for
Russia when they see her enjoying the
fruits of Japanese victorious war to
the detrimeBt of Japan. Russia Is now
making continual offers to China to
put down the Boxers with Russian
troops. which is n very offensive propO-
sltion for Japan.

The plumbing trust knows the force
of public opinion.
Despite it's refusals until yesterday
to sell plumbing material to anyone
but members of the trust, yesterday 1t
evidently thought better of the matter.
Advertiser representatives who went to
the Honolulu Iron Works, the Pacific
Hardware Company, Emmeluth &
Company, John Mott & Company. Geh-
ring & Butzke. and other supply
houses, and master plumbers, and ask
ed for lead pipe, spigots and similar
goods. were given them at the usual ex-
tortionate price.
The plumbing trust has evidently de-
termined to attempt to weather the
storm by a pretended compliance with
the law. The trust would not sell in
large quantities to one gentleman in
particular. but sought to mollify small
customers and fill its own pockets.

of workers.
He bought his materials from reputa-
BILE business houses Of Honolulu and,
had no diffizHty with any of them unfit
the first cf October. when he was in
formed that he would, not be allowed
to buy plumbing supplies unless he
gave them the job of installing thu
plumbing work.
His experience on October 1, when
he was denied the privilege of buying
supplies which he intended to put into
the houses he built, was with the Pa
ciGc Hardware Company and the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works, with whom he dealt
extensively. At that time he had un-
derstood the two firms had gone into
the plumbing trust, and acceeed to
the cast-iron> agreements which the
trust imposed upon them. but he was
hardly prepared to have them refuse
to sell MIN supplies.
He has even been refused price lists
on their supplies. one of the firms de-
MED that they had agreed to the clause
in the trusts agreement prohibiting
them from selling even such sfhall
fixture as spigot 10 citizens who fell

thew water pipes, but afterwards he
Learned from their own statement that
not only had every other clause been
accepted, but they even had gone so
far as to take in what they at first con-
sidered was an objectionable clause.
An Advertiser reporter interviewed
Mr.. High yesterday afternoon upon the
position he had been placed in by the
trust. Speaking of his experiences at
the Pacific Hardware Company and the
Honolulu Iron Works, he said:
Ay experience is that 1 have not
been able to buy plumbing goods from
the Pacific Hardware Company for
three weeks. They refused to sell to
me, apd so did the Honolulu Iron
Works.
"On The first of the month I went to
the firstmentioned firm to pay my bills.
1 had heard they had gore in with the
trust. l told them had a small house
TO plumb. and asked them how they
were selling goods. They told me they
could not sell them to me. asked them
why they refused, and they replied
that they had gone into the union and
agreed to sell supplies to no one ex-
Fcepting the contract plumbers. 1 said
tsI,hen you refuse to sell me plumbing
supplies. Do you expect 1 will buy any
