ROW AMONG HONG RULERS
NATIVE SOCIETIES TORN BY
DISSENSION.
Action of the Executive Committee
Causes a Split that Results in Many
Desertions.

The two native societies that are sup
posed to be supporting the Independent
party have suddenly become involved
in a bitter internal warfare and large
numbers of the members are desert1ng
the standards of the societies and the
party. A split has developed in both
the Aloha Alma and the Kala Aina on
account of high handed methods of the
executive committee, and already a
large number OF the members are lost
to the cause, and divided between the
Republican and Democratic parties.
The taking of the names of j. o. Car
ter, Macfarlane and Paele from the In
dependent ticket was the cause of the
row. At the party's convention these
men were nominated and they were
supposed to be the party candidates.
few days after the convention, how
ever, some of the members of the exc
cutiVe committee of the societies met
and decided to take the names of Car
ter, Macfarlane and Paele from the
ticket. Not all of the committee was
present at the meeting, and the mem
bers of the society generally had no
idea that the three candidates were
not to- be kept as nominees.
The reason given for taking the
names off the ticket is said to have
been that the members of the commit.
tee who took such action came to the
conclusion that the three candidates il
question would not support the Inde.
pendent platform.
When the action of the executIv,
committee became known among the
members there was a lot of complaint
| The right of the executive committe,
to change the nominations made by tn,
| convention was called into question anC
there was lively controversy.
The committee had decided, however
and there was nothing for the dissatis
fled ones to do but swallow the change
or get out, and a lot of them chose tn
latter course. The result has been de
sertions from both societies and a wild
division that will not heal, among thos
who remain.
There is a split in both sicieties,
said members of the Aloha Alma thi
| morning, land instead of being Inde
pendent the members are dividing then
selves as Republicans and Democrats
| This will cost the Independents a larg
number of votes.
The three men whose names wer
arbitrarily taken off the ticket wer
popular with many members of the so
cieties and probably about half tn
membership are dissatisfied with tn
changes. Some of the members of tn
executive committee, even, are equal
disgruntled, for they were not presen
at the meeting when the changes wer
made and would have opposed sue
changes"

DIR. PRATT is TRUTHFUL

Judge Wilcox has withdrawn all inti-
nations that DR.. Pratt is not a good
and truthful citizen, for the doctor has
disowned the unVeracious statements
about Wilcox that were attributed TO
him, and now there is nothing for either
gentlement to complain about except
the newspaper that misquoted DR..
Pratt.
When DIR. Pratt heard how the judge
turned loose on him yesterday he sat
down and wrote a letter to his honor.
DR.. Pratt explained that he had never
said that he couldn't get justice in the
district court, though he had beeni
quoted to that effect. When he saw
such remarks attributed to him in print
he went to the paper that printed them
and asked that correction be made,
but the correction was lost somehow.
What DR.. Pratt did say was that he
| was tired of having cases appealed from
| the police court decisions and then hav-
ing the punishment cut down, or the
case nolle pressed, in the Circuit court.
Judge Wilcox explained this morning
that yesterdays remarks about DR..
Pratt were pau. Yesterday, intimating
that the doctor had done what George
Washington couldn't do. the Judge
named a condition. 1t was ''if" Dr.
Pratt had been quoted correctly. AS
DR.. Pratt had not the roast didn't ap-
ply. and today Judge Wilcox seemed to
want to make it appear that he thought
the doctor a very truthful man. The for
mer cordial relations are therefore res
tored.
| In the meantime the Wong Kwai case,
which caused all the trouble has been
| postponed again.

HAS NO DESIGNS AT ALL on
MANCHURIA.
The Czar Governs All the Territory He
Wants to and is DESTROYS of Develop
ing 1t.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-In a long dis
patch from Yalta, Russia, near which
place the Gar is staying, correspond
ent of the Herald quotes high Russian
official, who sees the Gar daily, and is
fully conVersant with the Emperor s
views on the Chinese situation. THIS
official asked that his name be not
sent, but the tone of the dispatch leaves
little doubt it was Count Lamsdorn,
the newly created minister of foreign
affairs of Russia. The official said of
the Russian policy toward China:
Il defy anyone TO show that Russia
had deviated in any respect from the
policy which has been announced, and
sian press. What Russia undertook 10
do she did Her policy has been openly
and perfectly simple from the first.
SO far from having designs upon
Manchuria Russia's- frontier in that
part was not properly protected We
were so unprepared that we had to
submit to being attacked and lombard
ed. Does that look like our being pre-
pared to annex Manchuria?
Just look at our country. Can any
one who knows this country imagine
for a moment that Russia is in want OF
additional territory? How can any
thinking person entertain such a view
Russia is quite content with what she
has got. What she has she wishes time
to develop.
"If the other powers one or any OF
them, were to think it right to push
matters and annex Chinese territory
then Russia would have to come in anC
hold her own, That is not what Russia
wishes. Such policy would only be
forced upon her"

IS AFTER The TRUSTS

United States District Attorney Baird
has taken steps to prosecute all of the
trusts and illegal combinations which
exist in Honolulu. He has written TO
the Attorney General at Washington
and laid before that official the fact that
it is openly stated that Illegal comblna-
tions in half a dozen lines have been
formed and are in operation here. In
structions are requested from the Attor-
ney General as whether he shall pro-
coed against the combinations.
Until a reply will have been received
from Washington no open steps will
be taken by Mr.. Baird but he will de-
vote considerable time to a careful in
Vestigation of the situation and the Sc
| curing of evidence upon which to base
| proceedings.
1.-THE impression prevails in some
quarters" he said this morning that
| in order to convict people of such COM
bination 1t is necessary for the govern
ment to show that the trade restricted
| is between two or more states. This
| is an entirely erroneous impression. The
| Federal laws can do nothing in single
state and 1t is only where monopoly Is
| extended to the Interstate trade that
I the laws become effective. Such is not
the case with territory for the Federal
| laws are applicable in a single terri
| tory and il makes no difference whether
the illegal combinations operate in a
single territory or with other states,
the offenders can be held accountable
to the laws"
One special thing which Mr.. Baird In
tends to look into is the recent stand
taken by the merchants against the
drummers. By the terms of the agree
ment which the merchants drew the
drummers are frozen out and trade is
restricted. The plumbers trust will al
so receive respectful attention as will
| illegal combinations.

REFORMERS SAID TO HAVE
SMALL FOLLOWING.
The Rev. V. c. Hart Says That Kang
Yu Wei's Party Does Not Amount to
Much.

The Rev. V. c. Hart, who has spent
80 years in China and who is a through
passenger on board the steamship
Hongkong Maru, is a gloomy prophet
for the Bow Wong cause. Mr.. Hart
says that the reformers in China do not
amount too much and he doesn't expect
to see them accomplish anything very
big.
THE reformers are lacking in leaders
that can be depended on for any great
work." said the Rev. Mr.. Hart II sup
pose that Kang Yu Wei is a good lead
er, but more are needed The move
ment has very little support as far as
could see, and l do not think it will
amount to very much.
"The rebellion in southern China is
probably cnly one of many that are
coming. 1 look for rebellions to rise
constantly from now on, and think 1t
will be a long time before China has
any settled organization again.
Leading Chinese merchants that /
have talk I'd with would like to see the
government under the control of the
powers. They would welcome the EN-
peror Kwang Hsu back to the throne
lif it was understood that he was under
control of the foreign powers"
The Rev. Mr.. Hart is accompanied by
his wife. He has been in Western Chi
ma for about ten years and was among
those called away when the Boxers be-
gan their operations. There was no out
break in this part of the country, but
the order to kill foreigners went forth
and the missionaries were all ordered
out.

BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
MIR. AND MRS. FALK ROBBED Of
VALUABLE JEwELRY.
Burglar Stole the Articles While His
Victims Were Dining Few Feet
Away from Him.

Somebody turned neat trick" yes
terday afternoon Nearly $3.50 worth OF
Jewelry was stolen from Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles j. Falk The robbery occurred
while they were eating dinner at their
home a Waikiki and was done in such
bold manner as to create the suspicion
that the robber was familiar with the
habits of his victims.
A few minutes after s o'clock Mr.. and
Mrs. Falk went to dinner. They left
their watches lying on the bureau in
| the front bed room between which and
the dining room was a second room.
| The doors were all open giving q par
tial view of the front room. Mrs. FaIIs
went to the front room about $3.50
! O'Clock to see the time and discovered
| that both watches were missing. She
called her husband and he also learned
of their loss. The only way which the
robber could have entered the room was
by doorway from the side of the lanai
which could not be seen from the din
ing room.
In addition to their commercial value
the articles were highly priced on ac-
count of sentiment, the watch having
been given to Mr.. Falk by the Oahu
Railway Company while Mrs. Falk's
watch and handsome amethist chain
were wedding presents. The handsome
diamond charm to Mr.. Falk's watch
was a wedding present The police were
notified of the robbery.

ACCIDENT ON A TRESTIE
DAMAGE TO AN OAHU RAILWAY
TRAIN.
Car Containing Machinery Jumps the
Narrow Escape of Conductor Goodwin.

A serious accident occurred between
6 and Z o'clock yesterday afternoon on
the tracks leading from the oahu rail-
way to the Waipahu mill of the Oahu
Sugar Company. .4@M
Extra tram No. 13 had just switched
out the cars carrying freight for the
plantation, about six or seven in num-
Der and started up the plantation tracks
These tracks at point not far from the
Oahu Railway line of road, cross long
trestle. The approach to this trestle IS
on curve and a grade and the track
leaves the trestle on a curve, so that
it is necessary for trains to have good
headway on to overcome these.
When the train was on the trestle
fiat car containing machinery for the
plantation got off the track i'm some
way and fell to the ground below, some
twenty or thirty feet. The car behind
1 ii was thrown across the track. Much
damage was done to the machinery that
fell from the trestle.
Conductor Goodwin was on the car con-
tanning the machinery but saw his dan
ger just in time and jumped TO another
car, just in the nick of time.
No persons were injured by the wreck
1t is not known how the fiat car got
off the track.

AGAINsT REFORM.

LONDON. October 19.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Times wiring yes
terday says:
"The Tao Tai has applied to the con-
suls to arrest over 500 Chinese who re-
side in the foreign settlements on a
charge of conspiracy. Those named in
clude several we'll known Cinnamon
whose only crime is that they possess
progressive ideas.
'This demand is significant OF the
growing influence of the anti-foreign
party. The fact that a tribute of rice
is regularly shipped up the Yang Use
Kiang, proves that the viceroys are still
supporting the Empress Dowager.'

BULLER IN HIS DEFENSE
TELLS OF THE TASK HE WAS
CONFRONTED WITH.
Says he Lost the Supreme Command
Rightly But Believes he did the Right
Thing-A Rumor.

LONDON, October 19.-The Daily
Mails Pietermaritzburg correspondent
telegraphs as follows:
"Returning thanks for the sword Of
honor presented to him, Sir Redvers
Butler made a spirited defence of his
strategy. He said that he did not be-
lieve that any general had ever faced
situation so difficult as that which con-
fronted him when he disembarked at
Capetown without an army and with no
hope of one for another seven weeks or
longer.
"'I found Mafeking and Kimberley
beleaguered,' he continued, and the two
main avenues across the Free State,
Bethulie Bridge and Norvals Pont, in
the hands of the enemy with Ladysml tn
surrounded. If 1 had waited for the
army and then advanced on Bloemton-
tein it would have been at least twelve
weeks before / could have eXerted any
influence on the situation. In that
time the Beers would have overrun and
occupied Natal, and what would have
been the effect of that on Europe and
the British people?
General Butler then proceeded to
make the interesting announcement
that Sir Evelyn Wood had wired ask
ing to be allowed to come to serve under
him. He said he was never so tempted
in his life to take a man at his word,
for he had begun to look upon Natal as
a forlorn hope, but it would have been
cowardly to have let Sir Evelyn come to
take the risk.
"'I knew that if failed to relieve
Ladysmith,' he exclaimed, I should lose
the supreme command l lost it, and
rightly, I think but 1 had taken on the
task and was bound to see it through to
a conclusion
"Sir Redvers paid the highest compli-
ments to the loyalty and gallantry OF
his troops under the tremendous strain
strain, he believed. such as no soldiers
in the history of the world had ever tc
undergo"
LONDON. October 1S.-Under reserve
the Daily Express publishes report
that General Sir Redvers Butler has
been summoned from South Africa tC
succeed Lord Wolseley as commander
in-chief, Lord Roberts declining to ac-
cept the position without free hand.

NEW YORK, October 19.-The Chl-

Their leaders, who are apparently dis

manifesto proclaiming that China is
completely at the mercy of her foes, for
which the mandarins are entirely res
ponsible. Every thing is quiet on the
British frontier. The rebels have gone
north toward Canton.

FACTS IN FIGURES.

An interesting table Of figures is
that presented II another column by
Mr.. 7. w. Denmark, Chief Clerk in
the State Treasury Department-one
hat taxpayers can study with profit
to themselves Two years ago the
Legislature of 1897 was severely criti-
cised because Of alleged extrava-
ganoe; yet its critics in the legisla-
ture of last year found it necessary
to further increase the expenses of
State government, 50 that, exclusive
Of the 800, 600 appropriated for pub
lie schools (and we hold that the
legislature of 80 deserves much
praise for making this appropriation
disbursements from the State Treas
ury have increased more than $780,
900 per year over disbursements un-
der the act of 1881. And disburse-
ments now greatly exceed receipts.
This is a matter that for the public
good should be discussed on the
stump and in the press. If there has
been extravaganza, LET it be cOurag-
coUsIy pointed out and expenditures
so Ourtailed as not to exceed the
legitimate receipts. If there has
been no extravaganza, let our would
he lawmakers address themselves to
the question OF how to bring up re
ceipts so as to equal disbursements.
Naturally, expenses should be greater
than twenty year, ago but seems it
that they should uGt he 100 per cent.
greater. This - "a matter for plain,
sober discussion, and we present the
matter for the consideration of can
didateS and voters.
