THE RETIRING MINISTER'S.


BY the retirement OF Samuel Mills
Damon, Hawaii loses the services of
one of its most able financiers. In his
special department 1t is no disparage-
ment either to Mr. Damons predece-
ssors or successors to say that he has
had few, If any, equals. When he took
the office government finances were in a
very chaotic condition. When he lays
down his office he leaves the financial
condition of the new Territory in most
satisfactory state, and this too, when
there had been an extraordinary strain
upon the government resources.
AS Minister of Interior, Alexander
Young has shown energy and admins
trative ability. This, all who knew him
expected. His management of his own
great interests in sugar estates and in
mechanical industry fitted him for the
duties of his executive office. Mr.
Young brought a trained practical in
tellect to bear upon public affairs, and
has been of the greatest benefit to the
affairs of the Republic during the clos
ing days of it's life.
Ernest Mott Smith, who retires from
the position of Minister of Foreign At
fairs and Minister of Education, was
young and untried man when he went
into office but he quickly familiarized
himself with public business and
showed himself most able in the dis
charge of his duties. Especially did he
take great interest in the workings of
the educational system of the Islands,
and it is due to his energy that so
much improvement has been made. The
handsome building which will be erect
ed on the Royal School premises is the
idea of Mr.. Mott-Smith. This, though
it will be put up under his successor,
will really be to Mr.. Smiths
credit. He obtained the money for it's
erection from the Council of State, and
he superintendent the drafting of the
plans which are not quite complete.
The services of Henry e. Cooper the
Territory will not lose. He leaves his
legal functions as Attorney General and
takes duties which are probably more
onerous as Secretary of the Territory.
Mr.. Cooper has had long training in
governmental affairs. Probably no man
knows the details of the working of the
various government departments better
than Mr.. Cooper. He is an interchangeable
worker, and brings both experience and
energy to the new office.
The ministers under the Republic
served the commonwealth we'll. They
may have at times made errors of judg-
ment, and they may have been criti-
cized, but all who were connected with
the government during the transition
period, and a very trying period it was,
had high standard of duty and strove
! to realize that standard.
There will be no ministers in the Ter
ritory, only executive officers, and it is
to he hoped that the incoming officials
will serve the citizens as we'll as their
/ predecessors, the ministers. The offic-
ial traditions of Hawaii are high, the
official traditions of the Territory must
be just as high, and ever nobler, for
they serve the people and not a mon
arch, and they now have to compare
with their sister Territories on the great
Mainland.

Touching on the causes Of the trouble

"The causes Of the present situation
were lack Of backbone and a wrong
policy on the part of the Chinese gov
eminent, while the drastic measures Of
the foreign powers aggravated the sit

taeir friendship, which we have always
appreciated, and Admiral Kempf for
his justice and forbearance in refusing

British Foreign Office Receives
a Belated Message From Sir
Claude Macdonald.
Is Dated Pekin July 4 and Says
the Garrison Cannot Hold
Out Much Longer.
Forty four Deaths Reported and
About Double That Num-
Der of Wounded.

LONDON, July 25.-The foreign office
has received a dispatch from the Brit
ish consul at Tien Tsin, dated Saturday.
July 81, stating that he had just re-
ceived letter from Sir Claude Mac
.douald, the British minister at Pekin,
dated July 4, appealing for relief.
There were enough provisions at the
legation to last fortnight, the letter
said, but the garrison was unequal to
the task Of holding out against a DETER
mined attack for many days. There
had been A deaths and about double
that number wounded.

does not affect the main question OF
the reported massacre of members OF

the Chinese were quite taken by sur.

masters of Blagovestchnsk and never
expected an attack from the Russians

great brilliancy, killing 1000 Chinese

ADMIRAL .sEYNouRss REPORT.

No Mention in LII Of Killing We1nlad to

SAN FRANCISCO July 70. There is,
nothing in the report of Admiral Sey-

sensational story that was circulated

effect that Admiral seymour. who COM
manded the Pekin relief expedition,
killed his wounded to save them from
the Chinese.
The admiral's report. which is an
elaboration of the cablegram Published
on June 30, makes not the slightest
mention of the affair. but, on the con-
trary, goes into particulars Of the
bravery OF the allies in guarding the
wounded, who We're placed in fatboats
and towed down the river by details of
soldiers and marines, while the main
body of tho troops fought the Chinese
off with rifles and Maxlms.
