A FALLACY.

The talk about working in Congress
against negroes being brought to the
Islands is the veriest nonsense posi-
BILE, and shows the utter lack of mental
calibre on the part of the man who in
dulges in it. The Star at this moment
is not discussing whether it is desir-
able or not to have negroes here
whether they would or would not be
advantageous to the Territory. 1t is
simply discussing the power of Con-
gress to prevent the American negro
from emigrating to the Territory if he
should be so minded.
The American negro, some ten mil
lions of him, is a citizen of the United
States and he has a perfect right to
move to any part of the United States
he chooses. If ten thousand Georgia
negroes decided to go to Kansas, there
is nothing to prevent them from GO
ing to that state, If a thousand negroes
from the district of Columbia decided
to go to California, no power in the
United States can prevent The citizen
has perfect right to go north south.
east or west, as it suits him. He can
20 singly, he can go in pairs, he can
go in hundreds, or he can go in thou
sands. He may be white or he may
be black, his color makes no difference.
and there is no law that can stop him.
The only thing that can prevent
negroes or any other citizens of the
United States from moving about from
one part of the country TO another is
the inability to pay for transporta-
ton. Then the vagrant laws of each
state or territory would also insist
that they worked for an honest living.
Congress would have no more to do
with preventing negroes from coming
to Hawaii, now an American Territory
than it could prevent them from going
to Kansas or California, as cited above.
If any movement is to be initiated to
prevent negroes from coming to the
Territory it will have to be carried
out among the negroes themselves and
not in the Halls of Congress. Labor
for the Territory is no longer a gov
eminent affair, it rests entirely with the
employers of labor, and they can en-
ploy whom they please from the States,
II they are willing to come. This is
an American Territory now, and not
an Hawaiian monarchy or an indie
pendent Republic.

The Loebenstein-W Wilcox controversy
over the election develops some. odd
information. Loebenstein ran as a
Republican, but according to Wilcox,
Loebenstein had been log rolling with
him, he wanted the support of the In
dependents and promised to give them
his support in the Legislature if he
were elected. The Wilcox contingent
would have nothne to do with Loeben-
stein, so says the delegate elect, and
as the poet says, Hell knows no fury
like a woman scorned," so politics
knows no fury like a candidate scorned
when he has tried to ride two stools
and failed" If Wilcox's story is cor
rect, and it is possible, Mr.. Loebenstein
has been stirring up some muddy re-
miniscences. The trumpet bearer Of
Hio should be heard from.

THE STORM.

The rainfall yesterday was unprece-
dented, the record at the Weather Blu
reau, Punahou, being 5.45 inches in
the twenty-four hours, ending at nine.
This is more than we have had in
whole month at times. Connected
with this heavy rainfall was an eX-
traordinary humidity, being SO per
cent. The highest, it is believed ever
recorded at the bureau.
A certain amount of damage has
been done but when one thinks of the
amount of water that fell and the
number of narrow passages and chan
nels which it has to pass through on
its seward course, one is apt to be
satisfied that the damage is so COM
partively slight. There have been no
collapsing houses, no crushing of peo-
pie under the fallen ruins and no loss
of life.
The other day in the lower parts of
Calcutta the water was from two to
four feet deep lin the streets and in
the houses. OF these latter some five
hundred odd collapsed and a score and
a half of people were killed. In a viii
lage in Yorkshire, situated near Sur
borough, there was recently a cloud
burst and sixty to seventy houses were
damaged and several were completely
destroyed.
The greatest anxiety, by those who
understood the situation, was felt for
the houses around the lower part of
the Nuuanu stream. Fortunately this
main artery for the valley drainage did
not rise to a great height, but had the
rain come from another quarter, or had
the reservoirs burst there would have
been collapsed houses and many deaths
in the vicinity of the mouth of the
river. But the catastrophe will come
some day, and then there will be a
rush round to see who is to blame.
That blame has been settled long ago.
The rain loss has fallen upon the
RChinese rice planters, many of whom
have lost their entire crop from the
fields in the vicinity of Honolulu and
towards Eva. Hany, however, were
able to save their produce. We are
very lucky that damage is no worse.
The good that has been done is meal
culable. 4 Il

port being furnished by the charitable.

Southern California from the East.
also by charitable people. Il is a way
charitable people have in such cases, It
shifts responsibility from their own
shoulders and puts it upon those Of
others, and this is, Of course, the true
essence of charity.
This kind of thing is one that we
have to complain OF here. as well as
people have to do in California. Tub
erculosus people Of Strengthened means
are contantly getting passage to our
Islands. In a month or so their money
is spent, they became objects of char
ity and most embarrassing objects too
for the societies hardly know what to
do with them.
If the money spent in transportation
were given by charitable people to
keep the unfortunate at home, it would
afford true relief and would not ex-
pose the stricken to hardships, vicissi-
tudes and humiliations which are I'M
dergone during the journey to the un-
known land, and upon arrival there.
But all that people want is to be rid
of their burden, no matter who else
may have to bear it.
No community would dare to dump
its smallpox, yellow fever or cholera
patients into distant places. But tub
erculosis is as contagious or as COM
municable as any Of these diseases,
and its victims are far more numer-
Gus. If California has a kick about
consumptives being taken within her
borders the Territory of Hawaii has
us tuberculosis advances with fearful
strides and the trouble is that the dis
ease is constantly being recruited from
without.

The burning of a negro at the Stake
in Colorado and the horrible details
published are sufficient to make one
sick The negroes crime was a horri-
BILE one, but it argues an awful con-
dition of mind when presumably law
abiding men, brought up in the tenets
of Christianity, deliberately go about
such a deed as this. in defiance of all
law. We were shudding the other day
at deeds committed by the Boxers in
China, but this deed seems almost
worse than those committed by the
ignorant and half savaSe Boxer. That
the brute deserved what he got may
to some minds seem true, but Christ
ianity has taught us that IAN eye for
an eye. and tooth for a tooth" doc
trine should be put aside. Neither the
tenets Of Christ, nor the respect for
law seem to be strong in Limon coun-
ty, Colorado.

The effort to obtain news when it in
wolves the employment of burglars is
pretty well over the line. But such is
the race for sensationalism that not
even crime will stop chasers after
news. Sometimes burglars have been
used for congressional purposes. Roll
lin NJ. Daggett in his great speech
against railroad monopoly had infor-
nation which was supplied him through
burglarizing certain safes. Otherwise
the figures which he brought forward
could not be obtained. 1t is no wonder
then that an effort of this kind has
been made after the Nicaragua Canal
report.

1t is to be hoped that the Legislature

school of detention for vagrant girls
and those who cannot be controlled by
their parents. These institutions are
very badly needed. They will have to
be put upon a thoroughly up to date
basis and specially qualified people will
have to be engaged to run them. 1t
would be desirable to have both in
situations in the country.

The leper settlement Seems to be in
a bad way, if so it is the fault of those
in charge and of no one else. The
next legislature ought to have an in
vestigation committee which would
take ample time for examination. There
are matters connected with the poi
contract which will certainly need
elucidation and explanation if all that
is reported is true. There ought to be
exoneration or punishment At present
one cannot tell which is deserved.

Fight Between Steel K ingS

pittsburg. Pa, Feb. 1.-THE Dispatch
I tomorrow will say: One Of the sensa-
| tional developments of the expected suit
Of H. g. Prick against the Carnegie steer
/ mpa limited, is the report that
| Henry Phipps, Jr., next to the largest
| stockholder in the company, has broken
| the business relations with MIR.
which have been exceptionally close
during the latter's business life. The
two steel kings have been associated
since boyhood. and their interests nave
been identical. not only in a business
way but in their philanthrOpic work and
social standing. The announcement or
the breach will therefore be a surprise.
Mr.. Phipps owned II per cent 81 the
capital stock of the company. which is
more than the holdings of any other
one stockholder except Mr.. Carnegie.
1t is said that Mr.. Phipps alone stands
as the only partner whose signature is
not attached to the famous ironclad
agreement.
The reasons for this are not known to
the public, but the important omission,
/ it is said, will be seized upon by Mr..
Prick as one of the strongest arg uments
in his efforts to have the celebrated doc
| ument broken, his contention being that
the agreement connot be binding when
one of the largest S~tOckhOiderS name Is
not attached.
David Watson, who drew up the paper,
will be one of the leading lawyers en-
ployed by Mr.. Frick to break it, and the
arguments put forth to this end by him
self and Attorney John G. Johnson of
/ Philadelphia promise to be very interest
ing.
The Post tomorrow will say: The earn
ing capacity of the Carnegie company
will not enter into the settlement with
II. C. Frick. If the contention Of Mr.. a
negie's attorneys is approved by the
courts. In outlining the defense, one OF
the attorneys asserted today that the
book valuation" referred to in the iron
clad agreement, has nothing to DO with
the profits. 1t simply represents the
value of the plants, stock, bills receiv-
able, money on hand. etc, at the date
Of the last inventory. less the liabilities
of the concern. 1t does not allow a cent
extra for the stock as a money-1naker
In other words, the attorney held, Mr.

Late DEGREES Show She Will

OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES
One Of Latest Issued by the Dpwagsr
Empress Goes to the Extent Of
Giving Officials tue Power ito. De-
clare War. u.

New York, Feb. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: DEGREES
issued by the empress dowager Of China.
which have just reached the state de-
partment, show that a new policy of de-
Tense against foreign territorial aggran-
dizement has been adopted by h Picking
government. These DEGREES further
show that though it was not generally
known here, the relations between China
and France several months ago were so
strained that the impress dowager APP
pretended hostilities with the latter
power.
Those acquainted with Chinese affairs
are disposed to regard the DEGREES as
significant of the belief Of the empress
and her advisors that China is sufficient
~ prepared to resist by force Of arms
all further aggressions of foreign powers
upon Chinese territory. and that her
future policy will be in line with this
view. -
In fact, decree goes to the extent
Of empowering officials to declare war
upon any foreign power attempting to
seize territory belonging to the 1uris-
diction under their control. Issued by
the tsung hi yamen, in compliance with
he empress Instructions. the first de-
cree was communicated to the viceroys
and governors Of the maritime Yang Use
provinces. 1t reads:
"As the Italians have not had their
ambitions gratified in respect to the
cession of San Nun bay to them it is
~apprehended that they may try to find
opportunity for Selling other portions OF
our coast.
Moreover. the arbitrary and agrees
sive actions Of the French at Kwang
Chou. where they are stirring up dis
turbances in order to obtain further
pretexts for demanding concessions from
the imperial government. may lead to
actual hOstihties between China and
France. e
"It behooves US, therefore, to exer-
else the utmost vigilance n watchful-
ness to guard against sudden aggression
and to be always prepared to resist ar
enemy. Your excellency is therefore
urged to enjoin all this upon the generals
and commanders of troops garrisonine

ton, and not only this but to be pre-
pared also to give aid to your brother

The Australians. having come in TO
very close contact with the enemy took
cover under a hill about 5000 yards
from the camp. Thereupon the Beers
took up a position with a view of pre-
venting their retirement. Some burgh-
ers got within zoo yards OF the Austral-
ians and called upon them to surrender.
They replied by fixing bayonets and
shouting defiance.
