Queen yIctorin,s Memories.


The full extent OF the Victorian era can be
measured by the fact that Queen Victoria has
seen eleven Lord Chaneellors, ten Prime Minis
tiers, six Speakers Of the House OF Commons
at least three bishops of every see. and five or
six of many sees, five archbishops of Cantel bury
and six archbishops OF York. and five commanders
in chief. She has five dukes OF Norfolk sue
coed each other as earl marshal, and has outlived
every duke and duchess and every marquis and
marchioness who bore that rank in 1887. She
has outliyed every member Of the Jockey Club
and every master OF the hounds who hourished
in 1887. She has seventeen Presidents OF
the United States. ten viceroys OF Canada. ~.
teen viceroys OF India. and France successfully
ruled by one king. one emperor, and seven presi-
dents Of republic.

JAPANESE ON A STRIKE.
misunderstanding Regarding Labor
Contracts In Hawaii.

HONOLULU, July ]. via San Francisco.
July 9.--All the Japanese laborers on the
Hawaiian Commercial Company's planta
ton on Maui Island. struck last week.
and later there was riot caused by the
visit of census enumerator. The Japan
ese took him FOR spy and attacked him
and his assistants with stones. One of
the men was badly hurt. The sheriff and
a posse visited the plantation and after
fierce fight quelled the disturbance. To
avoid manning or killing the Japanese.
they used black snake whips.
The trouble is due to agitators who
have made the Japanese believe that they
are being held under the old labor con-
tracts which the territorial act repealed.
The plantation managers now pay higher
wages but this does not seem to satisfy
them. Meanwhile, the strikers occupy
the cabins on the plantation and use the
fuel provided for them. The managers
are determined to be rid of them or make
them work.

The Prohibition Party.


At no time in the history OF this country have
the votes of this element cast in a Presidential
election assumed significant proportion, and of
late years the number has been steadily decreas
ing The candidates put forth by the party,
while generally men OF splendid individual worth,
have not appealed TO the public at large. and the
voters have cast their ballots for the settlement
Of issues of a live and pressing nature-those
,erially affecting the prosperity and welfare OF
the nation.
So it will be seen that this faction need not be
reckoned with in the approaching quadrennial
contest. The men engaged in the effort are
conscientious and impeled by righteous motives.
but IL is yet to be established that what they
advocate accomplishing by compulsion is not
beirg daily achieved through less coercive and
more efcctual measures.

change during the past week. Receipts
continue fairly liberal, but choice stock
keeps pretty we'll sold up and the market
has steady tone. Fancy Michigan and
some Of the best northwestern are bringing
1871 to 19c with other choice fresh western
steady a. IS to 1910. Fair to good western
quiet at 10 to TIC. Refrigerators rule steady
but trade quiet on account of the unfavor-
able weather.
DRESSED PoULTRY.-Receipts show no
material increase this week but the cath
or has been very unfavorable and trade
unusually quiet. Western fowls ruled fair
ly steady at liz to 12c the first part of the
week but since Monday there have been
very few sales at over 11ac Western chick
ems have teen extremely dull, with most
sales az TO 10c nd some cleaning up at
8 to BIC. AT the close it takes fancy large
roasting hickens or strictly choice broilers
to reach lie. Western young turkeys have
been in limited supply and most lots too
poor and hin to sell at over 10 to 12c, but
really ia 1cy large would bring more. North
ern chick ns in moderate supply and sell
ing In small los at quotations. Nearby
spring ducks steady at 10 to II.
BBANs.-There is still light supply of
spot goods barely enough for the immediate
wants OF the trad and sales continue in
small lots at full pr ces. Choice marrow

FLoUR.-The movement in -four during
the week has been limited, with only sales
made where buyers were Obliged to have
supplies. In this way few cars here and
there are being placed, but no one is buy ing
because they feel that -four is cheap. Val
uss as q rule are about 80 lower than
week ago, and about all the business doing
at the close is on this lower basis. There
are fewer ressles from second hands but
there Is considerable range In the mill price
1t depending largely Oh how well millers
are fixed for wheat. In cases whore mills
alizs, they will offer lower prices, while
others who are Obliged to buy wheat ON the
market are asking higher quotations for
their goods, spring patents are quotable q,

For veal calves the market was not very
active. Drovers made valiant effort to
