STRIKING JAPANESE.

Consul Mkt Saito's visit to Kauai has
been perfectly satisfactory The labor
ers upon the Island are perfectly quiet
and have gone back to work contented-
ly There has been much misunder-
standing, but all that has been cleared
away by the explanations of the consul.
The behavior of the Japanese laborers
on oahu has been perfectly satisfac-
tory; the main trouble seems to be cen
tered on the Island of Maui.
The japanese on Maui seem to have
very turbulent element among them
This has been shown not only by sew
eral strikes against their employers,
but also by crimes of violence among
themselves. The strikes began long
ago at Lahaina and at Kihei They
have now spread into central Maui. The
crimes of violence have run the gamut
from united assault upon some unhap-
py countryman, up to the crimes OF
murder and manslaughter.
1t is to be hoped that Consul Saitc
will proceed to Maui as soon as posi-

The news from China shows that the
situation is intensely acute, but there is
no solution in sight. The ambassadors
remain shut up in Picking, and no
news has been received from them or
from the relief force which was appar-
emily in difficulties somewhere between
Tien-tsin and the capital. The position
is an extremely difficult one, for us, be-
T cause while the United States feels it's
obligation to protect American citizens
in China, and the administration is
straining every nerve to rescue them, it
is not desirable to commit any acts
which might lead to the idea that we
We're attacking the Imperial govern
ment The troops are landed to protect

BY ACCLAMATION.

Mckinley and Roosevelt these two
will carry the banner of the Republican
party to assured victory in November
The nomination of Mckinley for the
second term was a certainty. Under his
administration the country has been so
prosperous, and so successful that he is
out and out the strongest man in his
party and in fact in the Union.
For a long time Roosevelt was sup
posed to be unwilling to run for the
vice presidency, it being supposed that
he would reserve himself for the high
est political honors. But it by no means
follows that because a man gets the
nomination of his party to the vice
presidency, that he will not get the no.
mination for the presidency at some
future time. At any rate Roosevelt
evidently thinks so, and the result has
been a nomination by reclamation of
the two most popular men in the Unit
ed States.
William Mckinley appeals forcibly
both to the conservative and to the pro-
gressive element among the voters of
the United States. He has headed a
party which has given stability to the
financier of the country. He has head
ed party which has assisted the man.
ufacturer, and with him the mechanic
and laborer to unwonted prosperity
His foreign policy has extended Ameri-
can commerce in four years more than
it has been able to extend in ten years
previously, and it this which will appeal
to the progressive element.
Theodore Roosevelt appeals to the
general public in two lights. His
chivalry and military capacity as COM
mander of the rough riders in the Cub
an war appeals to the younger element
who admire the dashing soldier who
won for himself and his force a unique
reputation throughout the world. But
Roosevelt is greater and appeals to a
wider public as an administrator thar
he does as a soldier. He is known
throughout the length and breadth OF
the land as one of the ablest, most fear
less and clear sighted administrators OF
the century. He undoubtedly adds {
strength to the administration which
no other man in the country could.
The Republican party can be justly
proud of it's standard bearers They are
men who not only have a reputation in
their own states and in their own coun-
try, but they are men whose reputa-
tons are world wide, typically Ameri.
can, typically western and typically
modern in thought word and action.

The bubonic plague seems to have
reached Western Australia, thus COM

deal with plague conditions in large
communities than in small ones. We

we'll as we did. Like all human cal
antilles we. are very apt to forget
about them as soon as they are over,

The Attorney Generals opinion upon
the citizenship question is likely to be
tested in the courts. There is con-
siderable divergence of opinion upon
the subject. The law, of course, was
framed to keep out the carpetbagger,
and whether it applies to all Offices or
only those specifically mentioned in the
Territorial Act is a moot point, which
only the courts can settle.

dulIness which characterized the whole
market. 10 Z!
Large offerings of1Nenthern Pacific be-
gan to appear near o'clock, at. which
time the directors were assembling to
take action on the semi-annual division.
The stock fell into !qaietude in the last
hour, and hung ABOUT q point below last
nights level. 1t was not until after the
close of the markst that the announce
ment, was made that only a l per cent
= dividend had been declared for the six
months period. The proposals action of
the directors seems have been kept a,
close secret, so that no estimate can be
formed of the effect of this action on
the stock market. SAT, 1the last dividend
period the directors dselared 2 per cent
on the common stock, per cent of which
was called regular seml-annual and
per cent extra. Several weeks ago the
stock was rushed up above SO by spec
ular sem-annual dividend of 2 per cent
would be declared for the last six
months. More recently, flI1nQrs have been
abroad that the directors would, hesitate
to put the stock on q Regulars per cent
basis, but it has Been generally accepted
In speculative 'circlesf that the last divi-
dend action would be repeated, that is to
say per cent dividend declared, but
1 per cent to be called extra. No init
nation has been heard in Wall street that
the actual amount to be disbursed would
be cut in half
The action taken proved a complete
surprise, and what the effect may be
upon the general market it Is impossible
to fOreSee. 1t is a clear announcement of
the formulated judgment OF the directors
heretofore informally announced by Of
fcials of the company that the current
high level Of earnings cannot be main
taihed, It will be accepted also as con-
firmatfon Of the reports of extensive dam

The price movement in today's market
was Irregular and without significance.
Not much attention was paid to the fore
cast of tOmorrows bank statement, but
it is estimated that loss of cash by the
banks will be disclosed owing to the
50, 500 600 export of gold, which seems to
have been only partly offset by the re-
cetpt of cash from the interior. New
York exchar<e at Chicago, however, has
moved upwards during the week and to-
day touched zoe premium, showing the
movement of currency still strongly
toward Chicago. According to the state
nents from the leading banks the net
loss In cash will probably be upwards of
a million.
The bond market shared fully in the
dullness of the stock market and price
changes were insignificant. Total sales
