THE CAR.

Much Of the anxiety about the Car
is traCeable TO the threat made by the
anarchist groups at the time of the
murder Of King Humbert to deal in Il
similar way with the soVereigns of
Russia and Germany. Some of it IS
also due to the fact that more than
ore-half the rulers of Russia since the
time of Peter the Great have died un-
der suspicious circumstances. 1t Is of
course probable that the present all
ment Of the Car, assuming him to be
still alive. Is the effect of natural
causes: vet there Is always room for
doubt when the ruler of the half-bar-
barian empire of the North lies help
less on n bed of pain
Speculation as to the political results
of the Cars death is affected, of
course, by the slight knowledge eXtant
of the opinions of the heir apparent,
the Grand Duke Michael. Nicholas II. Is
a reactionary; whether his brother is
or not remains to be seen. Should it
be true that the Car Nicholas was
poisoned, it would be natural in his
successor To put new irons on the peo-
pie and confront them with more bay
orets. The late Gear Alexander III.

River and Harbor Bill.

WASHINGTON. Nov 22.-Chairman
Burton of the House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors stated today that
that committee would meet next Mon
day to begin the preparation of river
and harbor bin and he expected to get
it through the House before the holt
days. Mr.. Burton said that nothing
definite had been decided upon, but
that TIE committee would draw a strict
line between improvements which were
for the public good AMI those for pri-
vate interests. He also stated that
some policy regarding the permanent
Improvement of the Mississippi river
would be determined upon.

Hlrbor improvement should lie
urged upon the Ways and Means COM
mittee of Congress by strong Ha-
waiian lobby. When Senator Cullom
was here he said, while getting the lay
of the port from the crest of Punch
owl. that Honolulu harbor could be
wdened by dredging towards and into
Kallhi bay, and that, in case of an
neXation, it would be the duty of Con-
gross TO unde take the work. That the
task would lie an easy one is shown by
the fact that the material to lie dredg-
ed Is mostly mud; not coral as some
have supposed The need OF an eX-
panded harbor Is often seriously felt,
and will become a crying one when
the big steamers OF the Sound lines
begin TO make their trans Pacific trips.

THE COVE RNOR'S
COUNCIL MEETS

The Governors council yesterday
considered many important items of
Government business.
Land Commissioner ]. f. Brown
read two letters from purchasers of
Olaa lots, formerly held by the squat
ters, in which they state they are una
BILE to obtain possession of the lands
in question. as they are now in pos
session of the "squatters," who have
been ordered to vacate. Action was
deferred.
N. c. Wilfong, tax collector on Ha-
wall, stated in a letter to Treasurer
Lansing that he had been appointed a
United States deputy marshal. and
asked whether he would be allowed to
accept the office. The matter was re-
ferred to the attorney general
Treasurer Lansing read letter from
Mr. Akona, of Waimea, Kauai, who
was quite anxious to obtain a light
wine and beer License. The treasurer
showed that the applicant already
possessed a merchandise license. The
council did net see its way clear to
recommend that he be granted anoth-
| er license.
Superinterd dent of Public Works Nc
Candless' read communication from
UNITED S ates Marine Hospital Surgeon
| Carmichael in which the latter re-
quested the privilege of installing his
Ifumigating plant which arrived re-
Gently. on the Channel wharf, stating
that he would take due precautions to
prevent the wharf from catch ng fire.
The council saw no reason why the
request should not be granted.
Mr.. McCandless also presented a
communication from the Hawaiian
Electric Company asking that it be
allowed to lay a water sewer from
their works on Alakel and Ha'ekau-
villa streets to the waterfront. 1t was
recommended that the request be
granted on condition that the company
also put in storm sewer connection
on Halekauwila street, with catch ba-
sins to take off any surface water
which might accumulate there by
drainage from streets above.
]. H. Wilson, OF Hilo, appeared be-
| fore the council requesting that the
Hilo band, now under Government di-
rection, be allowed to play Sundays at
the race park. 1t being fer the public
| benefit, the proposition was favored
| by the council on the promise that the
rules governing the band here prevail
with the Hilo band in the playing OF
selections entirely in accord with the
spirit of the day. Mr.. Wilson will to-
day carry to the sheriff of Hawaii the
notification of the attorney general
that the request has been granted.

BAD WORK IN CHINA.

The worst of all judges as to what
should be done with china are the
Ministers who survived the ordeal oi
the siege. For long weeks these men
were under fire and in peril OF capture
and decapitation. The thought of their
wives and children or other helpless
dependants and what fate might be
theirs preyod on their minds sleeping
or waking. Face to face with the saw
agery of the Boxers and the dupllcity
OF the princes these men were filled
with a hatred of the Chinese and de-
sire for vengeance which now leads
them to propose measures which, If
carried out. would involve all China in
the flame and. uproar Of civil war.
They cannot fudge impartlally; they
can hardly judge humancly; and unless
curbed they are pretty sure to do more
mischief than the Boxers ever tried
to do.
The Irrited states Government in
sending Mr.. Rockhill to China has done
something to restrain Minister COnger
Great Britain has replaced Sir CLAUDE
Macdonald with Sir Ernest Satow But
all the other Ministers who were IN the
siege. save Baron Won Ketteler, who
was killed, are sitting In judgment up
on the Chinese people. Most Vindic-
tive of all the diplomats Is the new
German envoy who, under the inspira-
ton of the mo quarter" speech OF the
Kaiser Is pressing China to the wall.
Won Waldersee, too, Is doing what, ne
can to provoke hostilities that he, as n
soldier, may have the honor OF carry
ing the arms OF Europe to the farthest
confines of the Empire.
The theory that peace and order can
be had by condemning the princes and
generals to death is stoutly opposed by
Secretary Hay, who points out that
such n decree would drive these leaders
to desperation and compel them, for
the sake of their own lives, to begin
war on an imperial scale. If such n
war ever comes, who could prevail
against It? The arms bearing popula-
ton of China Is hardly less than 49,
600 0O0-a force capable of sweeping
every vostiFe of European influence In
China into the sea. Granted that 1t
would be n sort of guerrilla nsurrec-
tion ard vet the results would be such
as to give civilization no easy task.
a nation like the Chinese If turned in
to guerrillas in defense of their own
homes would make short work of the
foreign devil" be he never so cour-
aGeous ard wel-equipped Witness the
perplexities OF Britain in fighting 10000
Beers with 100000 Englishmen; observe
the course of things in the Philippines.
For civilizations sake China must
be handled gently. She must not be al
lowed to feel her own strength. The
time has come for compromises guar
anteed by treaty; for the pardon of
those who made war; for getting in re-
turn such railway, harbor and strategic
ADVANTAGES as will make n renewal Of
war unlikely. To achieve such an end
the first reedful step would seem to be
the transfer of the vlndictive ENJOYS to
other POSTS and their suppression by
men who can approach the Chinese
question without rersonal ranCor.

But between SIS trip ~ honolulu,

tive status with the item of cost bear

Scan the steamship COMPARES be in
duced to make the expe iment OF lower
fares? If so, we believe the resu is
would be as gratifying to them as to
us. Not only would more tours 8
come, but the Islands would get the
agricultural homeseeker. Back East
the railroads organize excursions OF
land-hunters, and the West has been
built up by them. With 10000 acres of
Government land still open on the ISL
and of Oahu and we don't know how
much on the ether Islands there are
plenty of home sites to look fer. But
the prospectors do not come they
can't afford the trip. Once put the reg
ular rate down to $780, with special
rates to parties, and hundreds of farm
ers from the drouth-stricken districts
of Southern California, one, would
put in an early appearance. And of
the $4,000 visitors from the East who
swarm over California in summer and
winter. we ought to get at least 5000.
Would not a trial of such rates be
worth the while Of the steamship COM
panies? Might not they greatly profit
by it? Is there any business merit in
carrying a few passengers at a large
price over many passengers at fair
price? 1t Is que ton which the
steamship companies ought to consider
on its merits.

LOCKED UP IN GALLERY.
Woman Spends a Few Most Anxioua
and Uncomfortable Hours
in New York City,

Locked up for nearly two hours be.
tween two massive doors in the narrow
vestibule of deserted building at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty.
fourth street, diagonally across from
the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, Miss
Mary E. Hurst, of Brooklyn, had what
was probably the most trying expert
ence of her life the other day. She was
nearly suffocated in the close air OF
her temporary prison when she was
finally rescued by policemen who
worked frantically to obtain her re-
lease.
Miss Hurst was one of the half.
score of visitors who inspected the pic
lures in Knoedler's gallery during the
morning. The manager, a Mr.. Rose,
and four or five workmen left the build.
ing shortly before the noon hour and
carefully locked all the doors. They
neglected to observe that Miss Hurst
was still in the gallery.
Miss Hurst suddenly realized the fact
that she was alone in the building. She
left the gallery, opened the hall door
and stepped into the vestibule. The
hall door, which has a spring lock
closed automa tically behind her, and tc
her dismay she found that she could
not open the big vestibule door. He1
screams attracted attention andsin two
hours she was released.
