through. The message was writ
ten on piece of thin paper, and
written SO fine as to only cover a
small visiting cards space. This
was rolled up and put under some
spoiled rice in beggar's broken
bowl; and the boy, personating a
beggar lad, got safely through.
He was captured twice and search

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousness. Doctors were very
scarce and seldom heard Of appen-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action OF the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few
doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you salts
fed there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale at
Finney's pharmacy.

Last Tuesday was the opening
day OF registration for the coming
election. AL the registration boards
were in session for three days, but
the number Of names registered

compared to 1908 for the year
previous and 1850 for the year
1899.
The various boards will be in
session again on Tuesday, October
goth, and also on Monday, Novem-
ber 5th, the day preceding cleo
tion. On the last day of registra-
ton it will be necessary to have

a leading man of their race be made a

adjudicate the claims for losses by the
sanitary fires. Yesterday a committee
consisting of |. Asada, Fl. Hamano, S.

tition to this effect
The petition is the outgrowth of the
big meeting of Japanese and Chinese
last Saturday night. Doubtless the
Chinese will take a similar step at
once. The Orientals are determined to
make strong fight for representation
and have interested their Consuls in
the matter. They believe, they say,
that new Court will be called, COM
posed of five commissioners as the
present quiescent one is and that its
members will be business men and not
lawyers. The japanese declare that
the Court should be composed of at
least one japanese and one Chinese.
The petition presented yesterday is as

BRAZILIAN PLOT.
Murder First, Then Restoration of
the Empire.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-An Off
cial of the State Department just re-
turned from Brazil has furnished some
interesting details in regard to the re-
cent attempt of a clique of Brazilian
army officers to incite a revolution
and to re-establish a monarchial gov
eminent.
The plan of action, the official says.
was to create a military riot in front
of the Presidents palace, during which
Campos Sales was to be asSassinated,
an officer OF the revolutionary band de-
clared ruler and Brazil proclaimed a
monarchy. IL seems, however, that
owing to information furnished by an
army officer fully cognizant of the
brewing conspiracy the President was
at all times aware of the plans and
progress OF the revolutionists.
Two prominent generals of the Bra
lillian army were involved in the plot,
but, except for their small following,
the army stood firm for the President,
and the project came to naught but
punishment for the offenders.

Peace for the Philippines.

One OF the most gratifying results Of
the national election Is that Il will end
all organized resistance 10 the arms Of
the United States In the Philippines and
permit the complete return OF peace to all
OF the islands Of the group. II was not a
partisan argument made for campaign
purposes, but the sober recital OF ar ex-
sslng fact. that the insnrrection in the
Philippines has been kept alive. long after
any prospect OF SUGGEST in the field van

victims far oftener than people OF any
other nationality. and all win join, In
hunting them down.
Before the next congress convenes It Is
beyond doubt that peace will be aoso-
lutely restored throughout the Islands;
that provisional government VIII be IN
effect on the lines TO be laid down by the
present Philippine commission; and that
all OF the American forces in the ISLANDS
not needed for police duty against bandits
may be withdrawn with perfect safety
Indeed. it is more than likely that great
share OF the necessary police duty may be
done by the Ffiipinos themselves; that
men who have borne arms In the struggle
against the sovereignty of the United
States may be utilized to preserve order
and protect the property Of the natives
from the ladrones.
The ultimate determination Of the fate
OF the Philippines and the status of their
inhabitants rests with congress. Con-
eiress will not act in the matter until
peace is restored absolutely; for until that
time there can be no legitimate interfer-
ence with the military arm OF the nation
in its work OF enforcing recognition OF
American sovereignty. BY the time con-
gress IL called upon to act the Philippine
commission will have evolved a system Of
government suitable for the islands ana
win have It in effect Professionally. IT is
likely that congress will defer to the COM
mission and accept and ratify its action.
One thing Is certain, After the express
sion of opinion on the subject by the
votes of the American people In the cleo
ton OF last Tuesday there will be no more
talk of abandoning the Philippines or OF
instituting or protecting any government
there not based upon absolute American
sovereignty.
