SYDNEY POLICY REGARDING THE
PLAGUE.
International Law Said to Give Her the
Right to Declare the Epidemic Ended,
Though More Cases Appear.

After ten days without a case of
plague, on July 10, sydney was Off
cially declared a free port. Soon after
wards some more cases were discov-
cred, but it is announced that this will
not have any effect on the declaration
that Sydney is a clean port.
The Sydney Star of July IA, brought
by the Aorangi yesterday, contains the
following, showing Sydney's very differ
ent method of treating the epidemic
from the way of Honolulu
"The discovery of three cases of
plague within the past few days will
not interfere with the proposal to de-
clare Sydney a clean port. The nom
appearance of the disease for ten clear
days, and the absence of deaths during
the same period, is construed, under the
terms of the Venice International Con-
vention, to be an indication that the
plague is no longer epidemic, and the
occurrence of an isolated case or of sew
eral cases is not sufficient to justify it
being regarded as epidemic.
mo fresh cases were reported to-day
and the patients at the Quarantine
Hospital continue to make satisfactory
progress.
1.-THE following telegram has been re-
ceived by the Australian Premiers from
Mr.. Seddon, Premier of New Zealand:
No further cases of plague have oc-
Cured since the one reported three
weeks ago, and none of the contacts"
have contracted the disease. I have,
therefore, to state that this colony is
clean

COMMANDER GILMORE REPORTS
WILD RUMORS.
He Thinks That Ii Hung Chang Will
Succeed in Preventing an Uprising of
Canton Chinese.

Commander F. P. Gilmore, U. S. N,
is among the passengers on the Gaelic
to San Francisco. He is going home on
sick leave from the fleet at Manila. Last
year he went out to the Philippines and
took command of the cruiser Isla de
Cuba, which was sunk by Dewey in the
battle with the fleet of Montijo in Ma
nila bay. The boat was afterwards
raised and placed in commission by
Hobson
Commander Gilmore stopped at
Shanghai, where he took the steamer
for this country. But little is known
at Shanghai" he said, "about the Chi
nese trouble. Wild rumOrs of all sorts
are heard, but your papers appear to
have as correct information as can be
secured direct in Shanghai. 1t is not
known there whether the Ministers are
alive or not. We heard that Ii Hung
Chang was to be stopped at Shanghai
but this / do not credit for although
there are charges of his playing a dou-
BILE game, the impression seems to be
that he is far too wise an old diplomat
to become mixed up in such trouble He
has great influence at Canton, and 1
think he will be able to prevent any up
rising of Chinese in that locality. There
were no rumors of any trouble at Can
ton when we left Shanghai. The people
are utterly at loss as to the intentions
of the foreign powers. 1t was said that
the reason the people arose was because
there were so many threats of partition
of China, and the Boxers incite the 9TH
ers to join with them to eXpel the for
eigners and prevent this partition. The
allies say that fifty thousand men will
be required to reach Peking. IT is doubt
full whether they will remain there after
they reach the capital, for many mill
tary men think that it would be better
to retire after PeHing is taken and the
fate of the Minister'S be definitely learn
ed. There was some talk of the Rus
slams trying to redain there during the
winter.
You see the great difficulty which
the allies will experience is in the mat
ter of transportation. The Chinese have
cut the dykes of the river between
Tientsin and Peking and flooded the
entire country. AS a result, the only
means which the allies have of reaching
Peking is to build the railroad which
is situated on the higher ground or
else go by water. I was in that part
of China in 1896 and 1896 and from my
knowledge of the country l think it will
be an impossibility for the armies to
secure enough boats to take the force
by the water route

Manager Webber of Lihue Plant5
tion appears to know well how to ham
die strikers and he succeeded in set
tling the difficulty there in short or
der. The 500 men who struck last week
are nearly all working again now, on
the same basis as before the strike.
The Japs quit work with a demand
for higher wages. The entire 800 join
ed in the demand but it had no effect
upon the manager. The day after the
strike he sent word to the Japs, who
were holding the usual meetings and
appointing the usual "cOmmittoes' to
confer with the plantation, hat they
might come to the office and get the
money due them, and must leave the
plantation. This was not WllC the
men expected, and there was a
division amongst them. About 400 of
the strikers sent word through COM
mittee that they were sorry and asham-
ed of what they had done. The others
kept up the strike for time. but all
but a hundred have gone to work now.
Manager Webber is quoted as threat
ening to discharge the whole lot.
The travel of Japs appears to have
set towards the other islands from Ca
hu now The Kauai steamers have all
been taking large deck loads of men
going from Honolulu to work again,
and the Mauna Loa yesterday had a
hundred deck passengers, many of
them Japanese. Arrivals on the Kauai
steamers are small in number and fewer

than before

GERNANSPRAISN KINLEY
DECLARE HIM TO BE A MAN OF
FINE PARTS.
Foreign Office Says His Reply Has Put
America in the Same Position as Ger
many and France.

BERLIN, July 26.-The Vorwaerts
contrasts President McKinleys answer
to tho Chinese note with Count Won
Buelows, praising President McKin-
ley's as a masterpiece, and saying:
"The United States President plays
upon China's sympathy, without in the
slightest degree committing himself.
While he states certain conditions
clearly and energetically, he avoids
every threat and rude rafting of the
saber. Mckinley is really man of fine
parts"
The German Foreign Office, which has
received no additional news from China
to-day, points out that the conditions
for mediation demanded by President
Mckinley, published in Berlin this
morning, place the United States in sub
stantially the same position as Ger
many and France. Nevertheless, the
German press continues to assert that
the Washington Government is trying
to part company with the powers The
Freissinnige Zeitung remarks: "All the
powers, with one exception, refuse to
be deceived longer by Chinese double
dealing. That exception is the United
States, which formally abandoned the
concert of the powers.
Another circumstance which has
made a bad impression here is the re-
fusal of the British and United States
AdmlralS to vote TO give RUSSIA con-
troll over the railway to Tientsin The
Berliner Tageblatt says that such a re-
fusal is proof of dissension among the
powers, and can only encourage the
Chinese.
The Kruze Zeitung, which repeats its
pessimistiC views concerning the har-
monious action of the powers, asserts
that the present difficulties in the way
of united advance upon Peking are even
greater than the military difficulties.
Count Won Buelow, before going to
Bremerhaven had an interview with the
Russian Ambassador, and subsequently
with the United States. On the follow
ing day, Tuesday, he conferred with the
Ambassadors of Austria Hungary
Italy, France and Great Britain 1t is
understood that the Chinese situation
was discussed.
The National Zeitung argues strongly
against the assumption that the prohi.
bition of the expectation of arms to
China would leave China without arms

70 MEET JUDGE ESTEE.

The first step in the Inauguration of
federal courts in Hawaii will be taken
this afternoon. All members of the
territorial bar are invited to meet
Judge Estee in the Supreme Court
room at 80 o'clock this afternoon. The
purpose is to afford the Judge and the
members of the bar an opportunity to
become acquainted with each other.
AT this meeting also, committee
of three members of the bar will be
appointed to draft and submit for con-
sideration rules to govern the practice
in the federal courts.
The arrangements for the meeting
and the call for it have been made
by the Bar Association, of which Paul
Neuman is president. 1t is hoped and
expected that there will be a large at
tendance of attorneys.

Il HUNG CHANG IS ANGRY FREE AFTER TEN DAYS.
DOES NOT LIKE TO HAVE HIS
WORD DOUBTED.
More Chinese Assurances That the
Legations are Safe-Earl Ii Says
Some Have Left Peking.

LONDON, July 2G-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,
telegraphing yesterday, says:
LII HUNG CHANG NOW STATES
THAT SOME MEMBERS OF THE
LEGATION HAVE ALREADY LEFT
PEKING AND MAY BE EXPECTED
SHORTLY. HE is BECOMING AN
CRY AT THE SKEPTICISMS OF
THE CONSULS. THE IMPRESSION
IS GAINING GROUND THAT THE
MINISTER'S OF THE POWERS TO
WHOM CHINA HAS APPLIED FOR
MEDIATION MAY BE STILL ALIVE.
The representatives of France, Japan
Russia, and the United States have
visited Ii Hung Chang, but the others
still keep aloof. The Americans are
indignant over the fact that United
States Consul Goodnow has entered in
to relations with Earl Ii, but Mr.. Good
now defends his action on the ground
that he is follwing the instructions of
his government"
IN PEKING.
TOXIC, July PA message which
arrived from Shanghai yesterday
makes the following assertion:
Yuan Shi Kai, governor of Shan
Tung, has received a letter from Pc
king, dated July Is, declaring that a
legation courier was captured by the
Chinese on July 13, and that thereupon
Gen. Hang Lu petitioned the throne to
employ the courier as a messenger to
communicate with the ministers. This
was carried out, and a reply was re-
ceived that the ministers were well and
were unanimous in favoring the res
toration of peace.
AN official of the Tsung Ii Yamen af-
terwards visited the legations and in
terviewed a minister, and it was sub
sequently decided to petition the EN-
peror to supply the legations with food
and to send them to Tientsin Young
Lu is said to have great difficulty in
intervening between the foreign SOL
diers guarding the south Gioka bridge
and the Tongo troops on the north
side. Fighting has now ceased, how
ever"
MORE MASSACRES.
LONDON, July 26.-The Hongkong
correspondent of the Daily Express
wires as follows under todays date:
"An Italian priest has just arrived here
from Hen Sing Flu, Southern Huan
where the Italian Bishop and three
priests have been massacred after re-
voting torture This took place on
July 4. Six hundred converts were
massacred, after the women had been
subjected to hideous brutalities. Six
other priests fled to the hills, where
they We're probably killed.
