The flags of China and Japan were
peacefully intertwined Saturday night
on the occasion of big out-of-door
mass meeting of the two races which
suffered most in the fire of January
goth. Seldom in the history of Homo
lulu has there been a more enthusiastic
audience than that which gathered on
the premises of the Japanese school be-
tween Vineyard and School streets. In
point of numbers it resembled a politi-
cal mass meeting on the Mainland. 1t
| was one of the most orderly assem-
blages ever in Honolulu, and the meet
ing was marked by degree of order
and attention to the speakers seldom
observed on such occasions.
At O'Clock Saturday afternoon most
| OF the Chinese stores throughout the
| city closed their doors preparatory TO
general migration to the assembling
place, although Saturday is one OF the
busiest days of the week for trade. II
was nearer O'Clock when the japanese
storekeepers followed the example OF
the Chinese, and by half past Nuu-
S'ANNN Il ueSPIIe0 HD-
pearance.
The opening of the meeting was
scheduled for 6:3O p. m. and when the
joint committee and orators appeared
on the scene. at that hour, they found
the premises filled to overlooking With
a surging crowd. Each one was seem
ingly trying to gain the vantage poin;
OF hearing directly underneath tn,
platform. The latter was erected be-
meath the spreading branches Of Z
large ponciana tree. and the frame
work was entirely concealed under the
folds of the national emblems OF Chi.
ma and Japan. Above the platform ar
arc lamp filed the area with a bril-
liant FOOD of light. The fences were
hung with long rows of red and whit,
bunting, while the archways over IN,
entrances to the grounds were decora
ted with festoOns IF Chinese lanterns

Thousands Present.

Before Z o'clock il is estimated there
were between four and five thousand
people maSsed before the speakers
stand, twO-thirds being Chinese. Not
only were the yard and verandas of
the school crowded. but the surround
ing fences and neighboring premises
also. chairman for each nationality
occupied prominent seats on the plat
form and directed the program of
speakers. The latter, numbering three
from the Chinese and three from the
japanese colonies, spoke alternately.
addressing their countrymeu IN their
native tongues. From what could be
learned of the speakers and their
views by Interpretation, they sorcibly
brought to the attention of their audi
tors the facts and distressing incl
dents arising out of The Chinatown fire
of January goth, the great losses suf-
fered by individuals and business
firms, the restitution brought upon
thousands who were burned out OF
their homes, the present and future
needs of all twho were affected by the
quarantine. and the duty of every in
dividual to ask for his rights as a tax
payer.
The fine points of the speeches were
punctuated by applause and cries from
the audience. marking their general ap'
proval OF the utterances of the orators
Occasionally a man in the crowd would
interrupt the speaker with a cry o
what in English would be Good
Good" and the word was taken up b,
the crowd until it ended in a burst o
approval which could be heard block
| away. Good nature prevailed on al

CONFLICT WITH MILITIA.
Troops Charge the striking MIL Hands at
vaileyfieid, Que. with Fixed Bayonets
A Number Hurt on Both sides.

Montreal, Can, Oct. 26.-0ver n
score wounded, one fatally, is the re-
suit of conflict between the mill
tia and the striking mill hands at
Valleyfeld, Que. A couple of hun
dred men employed by the Montreal
Cotton company on the foundations
of new mill went out on strike
Wednesday, demanding an increase
of 25 cents day in their pay. The
strikers prevented the company from
shipping goods and yesterday held up
the company's coal pile. The CON-
pany had to have coal or shut down.
Consequently message was sent to
Montreal asking for military assist
ance. 1t arrived yesterday afternoon
and the embargo on the coal pile was
promptly removed. About $3.50 p.
m. the mob gathered near the En-
pire mill and began throwing stones
through the windows and otherwise
destroying property The troops
charged the mob with fixed bayonets.
They were driven back. Eight of
their number were wounded, two of
them seriously. The strikers had IS
men injured, one fatally.

SOUTH REACHING FOR TRADE.
Republican Tariff and Currency
Laws Have Helped That
Section.

No section Of the country has had a
larger share of the general prosperity
during the present administration
than the south, and it has been due
mainly to the operations of the repub-
lican tariff and currency laws, as the
southern business men now UNDER
stand and acknowledge. Never before
in the history Of the United States has
the output of the southern iron ore
and pig iron, lumber, coal and coke
been so large as it has been in the
past two years, and not for years, il
ever, have the prices been so high.
Never before was so large a propor-
tion of southern products shipped
from southern ports. Never before
has money been loaned there at such
low interest. All this has occurred
under the gold standard and the pro-
tective tariff. A few years ago the
south had practically no manufac-
lures; 1t has now over $1,000, ,00O,0 900
invested in factories, paying over
S35o,OOO,O0o in wages and producing
between Sl,5oOO00,Ooo and $2,OOO,OOO,-
900 products yearly. Most of this
increase has been secured under the
present administration, and 1t is di.
rectly due to the operation of the r
publican policies.-Senator N. B. Scot
Of West Virginia,

Columbus, Kan, Oct. 96.-Yesterday
afternoon several prisoners, while be-
ing guarded, assaulted one of the
guards, disarmed him and at once
broke away, with the view of escape.
The alarm was given and Sheriff
Sparks and City Marshal Aitchison
Immediately pursued the prisoners.
They were nearly two miles out of
town when overtaken, and when the
sheriff commanded them to halt one
of them, William Hogg, colored man,
opened fire. The sheriff returned the
fire, the bullet entering Hogg's body
near the spine, killing him almost in
stantly. The other prisoners then
surrendered.

BRYAN DoDGING QUESTIONS.
He Declines to Tell What Everyone
u So Anxious to
Hear.

Mr.. Bryan is dodging-busy dodg-
ing. He has often refused to answer
questions as to his policy, if elected,
once at Lincoln, Neb.; once at Ann
Arbor, Mich, and once at Circleville,
O. To corner the dodger the repub-
lican national committee has put these
questions directly to him--questions
which are vital for every citizen, re-
publican and democrat alike, to have
answered by the 9Th of November, but
Mr.. Bryan says he will discuss public
questions at his own time and place.
He will have ample opportunity after
November 6, as time; place, Lincoln,
Neb.
The questions are:
Will you, If elected, pay the national
obligations in gold or silver?
VIII you, If elected, make use of the
United States army to forcibly estab-
lish stable government for Aguin-
aldo?
Are you in favor of reenacting the
Wilson tariff law or one similar there
to?
Are you in favor of disfranchising the
colored citizens of the south?
Do you approve of the action of the
democrats in congress in defeating the
antitrust amendment last June?
You have lately gone on record as OPP
posing life tenure in the civil service.
How long tenure would you permit?
You have lately charged the repub-
leans with collecting large fund from
monopolies and coercing voters. Will
you mention any monopoly from
which the republicans made such col
lection and 'also mention one specific
case of coercion?
Mr.. Bryan will not answer these ques-
tions. He cannot do so and not weaken
himself.

A CENSUS BULLETIN.
1t summsr re. the Ke urns Of Population
of Cit'es Having 25,00O o. More
InhSbifant..

Washington, Oct 26.-The census
bureau in bulletin issued yesterday
summarizes the returns of popuia-
tion of cities having $4,000 inhabitants
or more in 1900, the individual census
of each of these cities having been
officially announced heretofore. There
are 159 of these and the bulletin
shows that the percentage of increase
in their population from 1890 to 1900
was 32.5 as against 49.5 for the same
cities in the previous decade. The
absolute increase in the population of
these cities from 1890 to 1900 was
9,136, or s2,426 less than the abso-
lutte increase from 1880 to 1890, when
it was 1921 ,j62. The 159 cities COM
bined have population in 1900 of 49,
694,625, against 1855, ,4s9 in 1890, and
9,933,927 in 1850. OF these 159 cities
divided into four classes, 10 had 200,-
600 and over, 10 had 100000 and under
100000, 40 had $4,000 and under 100,-
600, and 81 had $4,000 and under $4,000.
In 1880 there were but 20 cities
which contained more than 100000
inhabitants, but in 1890 this number
had increased to 2s, and in 1900 to 80.
In 1900 there are IS cities of $4,000
inhabitants or more as compared with
IS in 1890 and 35 in 1880.
The 10 cities of the first class COM
prise New York, which, with more
than 100000 inhabitants, properly
stands by itself; two cities, Chicago
and Philadelphia, each of which has
a population in excess of a million;
three cities, st. Louis, Boston and
Baltimore, which have population
of half million each; five cities.
Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francisco,
Cincinnati and Pittsburg, which has
a population of between 100000 and
100000 each; and eight cities, New Or
leans, Detroit, Milwaukee, Washing
ton, Newark, New Jersey, Jersey City,
N. j., Louisville, and Minneapolis,
which have population of between
100000 and 100000 each.
The following named states and
territories in 1900 do not contain any
city with a population of $4,000 or
more: Arizona, Idaho, Indian terri
tory. Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexi-
co. North Carolina, North Dakota, Ok
lahoma, South Dakota, Vermont and
Wyoming.
Among the most notable changes in
the rank of cities which have taken
place in 1900, as compared with 1880,
may be mentioned that of Kansas
City, Kan, which has advanced from
the 153d to the seventy-sixth place.

PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.
Less Need Than Ever Of Money In
That Section to Handle
CrOps.

The unchecked rise Of trade prosper
ity in the south is certainly phenom-
enal. Bank clearings in the southern
section, Notwithstanding a shrinkage
Of s. per cent at Galveston, rose in
September 5 per cent. over 1899, and
such gains are given as $50 per cent.
at Savannah, 81 per cent. at New Or
leans, and 21 per cent. at Birmingham.
All this shows plainly enough why
hesouih drew 5000, 900 currency from
New York bank, last month, against
only $2000000 year ago.
The prosperity demands Of the south
for more currency, with which to cir
culate its vast increase in wealth is af-
fecting every money market of the
world. The balance Of trade in favor
Of this country has, during the last
three or four years, BECOME so enor-
nous, that only by seeing evidences
OF Indebtedness on wholesale scale,
have foreign nations of late been able
to prevent great exports Of gold to the
United States. Great Britain, Sweden,
Russia and Germany have obtained i'm
portant loans in this country, thereby
obtaining considerable American gold
instead of losing their own gold. The
indebtedness Of the world, however,
to the southern states has increased
Unexpectedly with recent Developments
In the cotton market; so that either
there must be further large sales OF
foreign bonds in the United States, or
e.se gold in great quantities must come
here.

Large Corporations and the Farmers.

How do large corporations affect the
interest of the farmers? There is
probably no class in the community
who derives more benefit from the
economic improvements of large cor
porations than the farmer All the
advantages OF tool, architecture,
sanitation, domestic appointments,
art, literature and general refnements
are the products of industrial centers
where large capitalistie enterprise
abound Every form of COM
modify outside OF food which enters
into the farmers life has been inn
mensely improved and greatly cheap
ened by the efforts of large corpora
tions, transportation, which is an i'm
portant item in the farmers economy,
has been reduced so per cent. during
the last rs years. While the farmer
has received all the advantages pro-
duced by large corporations In lower
prices Of everything he buys and lower
transportation, the price Of what he
sells has risen.-Prof. George Gunton.
