There was a fight on the bill to
allow suits to be brought to rec over

tration to ascertain the amount Of
such loss. It was ordered to a
second readiag.

Sioux Falls sets the pace for Pop
ulistic platform making. The Kan
sas City tinkers will be compelled to
meekly fall into line.
Mr.. Sulzer announces that, in case
he is nominated for Vice. Presidency,
he will Immediately take the stump.
This should be in the nature of a
warning to a political party possess
ing intelligent leadership.
Representative Lentz has lost no
time in entering upon the work of
misrepresenting the testimony adj
duced in the Idaho investigation.
But that sort of thing is decidedly
Lentzesque.
When several Democrats united in
signing a minority report on the
shipping bill, in which they favor
subsidies and oppose free ships, as
the remedy, the opportunity for
making campaign issue of shipping
question slipped from the grasp of
the Democratic party.
The Ohio Democrats have decided
to be good and toddle along in the
Bryan column. The Ohio Demo-
Gratis usually do this when there is
no chauce to do otherwise.
Hon. E. W. Wilson, West Virgin
las former Democratic governor,
las written an able paper in favor of
the retention of the Philippines.
Mr.. Wilson contends that he is still
a Democrat, but none the less an
American. He Will have a splend-
id chance to engage in an argument
with the Democratic leaders.
AS long as competent and patriotic
leadership is unable TO secure a fol
lowing in the Democratic party,
the voters will not be disposed to
trust that organization with their
interests.
The Democrats in the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries have prepared two reports
on the shipping bill, one favoring
subsidies and opposing free ships,
and the other favoring free ships and
opposing ubsidies-thus are the
members of thatparty divided when
it comes to affirmation action.
The important difference between
the Democratie and Republican par
ty is that the former promises and
the latter performs.
The Southern Democracy disfran-
chises the negro, runs jim cars
on the railroads, taxes them with
out giving them representation. lyn.
obes those whom it chooses to ac-
cuse, with out the formality of a

ployee of the German firm, Mr.. Haid-
len, who is present amongst us also to-
day. had taken the command of the
firing tiraillbeurs, the rifle OF shot
sailor in his hand. Pride filled my
heart to see how our men were lighting.
There was discipline, there was war
skill and shrewdness, but no giving In,
no getting weak, nobody thought OF his
own person, everybody offering joyfully
his life and blood. AS soon as the
landed crew of the ADLER appeared
on the battle field, the enemy retired
decidedly in the bush. The light had
cost US sixteen dead and thirty-eight
wounded, but we had shown the enemy
how Germans are used to fight and
even today the Samoans talk with ter
ror of the German way OF lighting and
of German bravery. Here lie resting
forever our brave comrades, men
whose hearts were filled with love for
the Fatherland and confidence in God.
When the deadly wounded sailor Zit-
IKE of S. NJ. S. "Eber' saw his end APP
preaching, he folded the hands and
prayed: God Almighty in Thy hands
| commit my SOUL" These were his
last words. The German Navy will
always remember the dead comrades
|
their deeds. Let us follow them in the
| fear of God and in the faithfulness to
the Emperor. In humble solicitation
let US pray to God, our Lord, that He
may give us strength and to let us die,
when the Fatherland calls, like as our
| brave brothers died: Faithful to our
Emperor, faithful to God.
| Then, after all the wreaths, palms
and flowers were laid down at the
monument and on the graves around,
the sailors presenting arms and the
choral "Jesu, meme Zuversicht" being
sung, and benediction having been pro-
nounced, Captain Emsmann took the
word again and said:
when some months ago we humbly
thanked God the Almighty for His help
and salvation out of the perils OF
wrecking on the Wirbelwind reef we
renewed our oath of faithfulness to our
Emperor. We have experienced our
selves that God does not forsake a
brave sailor or soldier. At the graves
Of our comrades who died for their
Fatherland, let us remember today the
oath sworn. Our Emperor, God pro-
tect, God Save our Emperor and oul
Empire"
Three loud cheers for H. l. NJ, the
Emperor sounded in the air, the sailors
again presenting arms and the band
played: "Hi1 Dir i'm Siegerkranz

MINISTER MoTT-sMITH.
Expresses His Opinion on the Notes
From Camp Jones.

Minister Mott-Smith, upon being
spoken to regarding an item in the
notes from Camp Jones published YES
terday, which stated that others could
have been hired for half the sum maid
the military for standing guard and
that the military was "by far the most
expensive guard that could be turned
out" said he deprecated such mis-
ehievous statements being made by
members of the Guard.
The man who wrote the notes, he
had been informed, was a member OF
the National Guard in active service
and that he was surprised the Guards
man did not consider himself, as a
Guardsman, the proper kind of citizen
to perform the duty at 81 a day.
Il am under the impression he said
that the majority of the National
Guard take distinct pride, as do those
who know the splendid work they have
done, in their organization and in theil
work. Every one of them is patriotic
enough not to regret one moment O.

SERUM COMES
"A Large Quantity by
the MOana.
Correspondence From French Foreign
0Aice--Pasteur Toxin on the
Way From Paris.

4 Serum for plague patients and proph-
ylactic serum for those who have been
exposed to the plague have arrived in
Honolulu. The first lot of the valuable
.emedy came from the Surgeon Gener-
al os the Marine Hospital Service at
Washington, d. c., consigned to DR..
Carmichael, surgeon of that branch OF
service on duty in Honolulu. He re-
ceived by the Moana 100 walls of the
Pasteur serum, or anti-plague serum,
which is intended for persons already
attacked by the bacilli. Also 1000 small
Walls, each containing a single dose of
the prophylactic, were received to be
given to those persons who have been
only exposed to plague.
The Board regretted their inability
to obtain the serum at an earlier date
in order that it's active principles
could have been tested and the remedy
given fair trial while the epidemic
was in full sway. However, there is
large quantity of it on hand, which
can be made use of in the future should
there be a recurrence of the disease
Instructions accompanied the consign-
ment of toxines and are as follows:
Haffkine's Prophylactic.
This fluid is purely prophylactic in
character; is in no sense curative and
| should not be COMPOUNDED with anti
| pest serum.
| 1t should not be used on those al
ready exposed to the infection of
plague, but its employment should be
limited to the immunization of persons
or communities threatened with the
disease.
The prophylactic is a toxin, and
should an Individual treated with il
contract the disease prior to the pro-
duction of it's anti-toxic effects he
would probably succumb. In a week
or ten days after its use this anti-toxiC
effect is produced and renders him i'm
mune to the disease. The immunity
thus conferred lasts an undetermined
time, probably several months, and
may be increased by a second or third
treatment. The incubation is followed
by reaction. (
Each vial contains c. G., or one &c
