WOULD ENIO|N Mr. YOUNG
TRAM PEOPLE AFTER MINISTER
OF INTERIOR.
Wants the Court to Knock out His
Order stopping Work Of Double
Track Laying on 29th.

The Hawaiian Tramways Company
applied in the Circuit Court this morn
ing for an injunction to compel the
Minister of Interior to withdraw his or
der commanding il to cease work on its
double track in King street. Papers in
the matter are being served this after
noon.
1t will be remembered that the Rapid
Transit Company applied for an in
junction to compel the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company to quit work, but the
court declined to grant it. Then came
gbe physical clash between the two
concerns on King street. Next day tie
Minister of Interior ordered both con-
Germs to cease operations. The Hawai-
ian Tramways Company refused to
comply with this order and its man
ager and workmen were arrested
In the suit for injunction the Hawai-
ian Tramways Company relies upon
certain letters It Cailms to have receiV-
ed from the Minister Of Interior some
time ago permitting it to go ahead lay
ing double track.
Judge Perry summons the Minister
TO appear on January % and show
cause why the injunction should not
ue issued.
It is stated that the suit was not
brought directly against the Rapid
Transit Company because such an aC-
ZION in the courts would extend the
Gme limit of that company's franchise.

ABOUT LADY DUDLEY.
Woman Whose Life is Devoted to the
Poor.

The duke of Connaught has been
visiting the earl and countess Of Dud-
ley at Whitley court, their place in Wor-
Cestershire. The dukes visit lasted
two or three days and he had some
capital shooting. The earl and countess
of Dudley are much beloved in the
neighborhood of their fine home and
are delightful as host and hostess. The
countess is very accomplished and signs
and plays beautifully. She is noted
in particular as a singer of Spanish
and Italian songs of a mandolin ac-
compartment. Lady Dudley frequently
Uses her talent to brighten the lives OF
the poor and sings for them in the east
end of London and in the other work
ing-class districts, where her efforts
are entirely appreciated.
At the time of the marriage of this
charming aud handsome young couple
report said that the earls mother, the
beautiful Georgina, Lady Dudley, did
not accept her sons bride quite with
enthusiasm, though as Miss Gurley her
fortune was large. She is a very sweet
looking and pretty young woman, with
slight cast in one of her dark eyes
that her friends and admirers declare
but adds fascination to her expression.
Be that as it may, she is too sensible
altogether to believe these compliments
prefers shady hats and likes to have
ner PRONE photographed Wnen possible

Circulation Statement
At the Gates of PeISin.

The end of the crisis at Pekin is close
" at hand, and suspense is liable to be
relieved now at almost any hour, Our
people at Taku have not received any di-
rect news from the front since August II,
but the japanese commander there has
news from General Fuktshama announc-
ing the occupation of Tung- Chow without
resistance on August Is. It was then ex-
pected that the attack on the city would
begin the following day It is, therefore,
highly probable that the legations have
been relieved, or that Dattle is in prog
ress.
The Chinese Minister this morning pre-
scented to our Government a proposition
from Ii Hung Chang providing for the sur
render OF Minister Conger to General Chat
fee at Tung-Ghow. We assume that the
order from Pekin 10 Earl Ii to propose this
step TO the United States was issued sew
eral days ago and perhaps before the
capture Of Tung-Chow by the allies. There
is not any disposition to consider the
proposition. Like the other nations
interest d-Russfa excepted-this Gov
ernmsnt viii not make separate terms
with China for the rescue of the
Americans in Pekin. All the lega-
tiCners and the native Christians TN

THE FIGHT Az .TIENTsEN.
Graphic Description of the Hattie
by sIneaIey zlutIer.


WEST CHESTER. Pa, Aug Con
gresham Thomas S. Butler received yes
terday interesting letters from his son,
Captain Snedley Darlington Butler, of the
First Marine Battalipn.7 now in China, de-
seribins the battles about Tientsin- The
first letter was written for him from Tien-
tsin, CT July s, by a friend, while Butler
was suffering from his wound. Among
other things Captain Butler says:
The English Vice Admiral who was in
command OF the forces. decided that the
best thing to be done was to blow up the
arsenal and move back to Tientsin. Hard
ing and myself, with our men, prepared
the arsenal for the condagraton, a ter
rife job which took US about three hours
ana malt After that we crossed the riy-
er and eamped with the rest of the forces
Tor the night We had canned corn beef
and little coffee and hard tack that
night Tor supper. | tell you this is war
to the knife and the knife 10 the hiit."
Next mrning at 3:15 we commenced
our march back. and about 12:l5 p. M,
after a very tiresone walk, We reached
sur old stamping ground.
Since that time we have not left Tien
sln except to go across the river and take
lie east arsenal and TO go out nearly
every Gay on an expedition of some kind.
One morning l took fifty men, with Leon
ard and Harding. and went out with about
GU English and JaPs to help clear out
the Chinese from the burned northwest
ern section Of the foreign settlement. Our
part was 10 protect the left flank and to
do this We had TO lie out On a marsh in a
drenehing rain and under a terrific fire
for an hour and half.
Fortunately for US the nature OF the
marsh was such tSat it afforded us OK
eelient protection so long as We lay fat.
but the instant We raised our heads above
the ditch the outlets would fairly fly
around US. The English and Japs and Chi
nese were all mixed up in the same vi
lege, having virtually a hand-to-hand eR
counter. so we dared not fire lest We
should hit our friends.
Our men behaved beautifully, and when
the order came for us 10 retire from our
position and protect the rear while the
other troops withdrew. not a man broke,
and We retired in beautiful order. The
English colonel in command of the Fecoa-
noissance sent or me and in my presence
ordered his own troops back 10 the tar
racks. saying that the Americans would
protect the rear
The day before yesterday we Joined the

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

IN New York Today.-The Democratic
clans of New York are gathered at Sara
toga today for battle royal. The State
Committee is meeting there nominally for
the purpose CT selecting time and place
for the State Convention. Upon special
invitation of Chairman Frank Campbell
all of the county chairmen and other par
ty leaders, big and little, are attending the
meeting. The work of arranging for the
State Convention will be perfunctory. The
convention will be called for about Sep
TENDER II and Saratoga doubtless will be
the place named. Before the day is done
the next Governor of New York probably
will be decided upon. That is the vital
work that viii be done. OF course 1t Will
be informal, but the decision arrived at
will be final and binding upon the State
Convention Apparently Bird S. Coier Is
the popular candidate. though it seems
evident that Croker and his lieutenants
are still stoutly SET against him. IN a
statement issued late last night Croker
declared that any good upstate man
would be acceptable to the organization
meaning Tammany-and that no man re-
siding in Greater New York would have his
support in the State Convention. This de-
cree of the big sachem shuts out Coler as
well as Edward NJ. Shepard, the Brooklyn
Gold Democrat who recently declared Tor
Bryan and Stevenson and who mas
strong support for the gubernatorlaI
nomination. Hill is managing the
CoIer campaign. and 1t is likely that
he and Croker will lock horns in
the State Committee today Neither IS
member of the committee. but both prob
ably will participate in its proceedings on
proxies If Kings County comes over TO
Coler the victory will be his. Hugh NC
Laughlin seems to control Kings county
yet and therefore he holds the key to the
situation at Saratoga today. Hill and
Mclaughlin have co-operated in many a
campaign, but it looks as if Croker is
about to wean the Brooklyn man away
from Hill Mr.. Croker gives no intiIna-
tion as to the identity of his good up
State man" Some time ago the Hon. Will
liam Flerling Mackey, of Buffalo, was
considered as Cookers choice. However,
very little has been heard of Mackey Of
late Judge Parker also is an "up-St;'ie
man" and by common consent meets the
Croker requirement in the quality of
good" Al the same tine, it is regarded
as entirely within the pale of the posi-
bilities that Croker will yield to the Ccler
pressure before the day is over, and thus
the nomination of the young comptroller
viii be practically assured. II IS gener-
ally understood that CCler is the choice
OF the national managers and it would
not be surprising if Mr.. Bryan should
personally interest himself for Coler by
wire.

Low Standards of Living.

A correspondent who read The Times
discussion Of the possibility of living on
fifteen cents a day seems to think that
the thing is practically impossible:
Enthusiastically one can support life on thar
amount or, if necessary, on less; hut there are
few, judge, who, if put to The test. would care
to do so -Four dollars and a half for thirty
days living! No one viii dispute that it can be
done; oh, the misery in the doing How
about rCe That was not mentioned. and it can
scarcely be considered . luxury in the weather
We have been having fer the past week to say
nothing of the condition Of the milk and butter
without it. Another Jhirg not considered is that
q person Who i compelled TO live on that amount
per day has not a dollar and five cents to Law out
at one time, nor the proper place TO put the
things in order to keep them; the fifteen cents
as a rule, would have 10 be spent daily and to
less advantage
MY advice to anyone in that unfortunate pre-
dieament would be, il il Is possible, go hungry
the first day, have good feed the second scraps.

the week make up your mind that sonnet hing,

The question under discussion is not
whether such a standard of living is de-
sirable. but whether it is possible, and

seIf-ControI in Emergencies.

A little group OF people discussed the
other day the question whether, as the
first speaker put it women act queer at
fires One unchivalrous person stoutIy
insisted that they did, while a spinster
in the party causticaliy observed that so
did the men. Then she went on TO tell of
fire which she attended invoIuntarily, in
a hotel, in which one man carefully
brought out MS suit of evening clothes
and hung them on the gas-hxtures. while
another tied his cravat three times before
he could suit himself with it, and then
walked out and left his poeketbook lying
on the bureau.
The fact probably is that in time Of sud
den peril the average human being is
likely TO become furried and inconsequeat.
There is all the more reason why pre-
paration should be made for such times
This cannot be dcne by brooiirg and worry
ing and thinking over them aud Planning
what one viii do. VIGOROUSLY, nobody
ever does what has been planned The
way in which trouble can be most easily
avoided is by training, not the mind. but
the muscles, especially in children. Too
many people are afraid to allow their
children 10 incur any risk whatever, or
TO do anything on their own responsibility;
not seeing that the lack of initiative
which results from the cottonwood and
bandbox treatment is likely TO be fraught
with quite as much danger as too great
daring and wiHfulness. The child should
be encouraged 10 be fearless, but moi fool
hardy. 10 use all its muscles, to be active,
alert, and proud of ability TO cope with
emergencies. The ideals held up to il SHOULD
ipculcate coolness. courage. and fortitude,
and il should be made TO feel that help
lessness, eowardice and lack Of self-re-
lance and seif-contrOl are things 10 be
ashamed Of. No mother can do her child
a greater wrong than to encourage it to
make much OF its own troubles and depend
on others to DO things for its comfort In
aer life nobody is going to wait on
grown spoiled child without some serious
objections, and the unfortunate victim of
mistaken kindness will either be bruised
and unhappy all the time at the fncon-
slderatepess of others or have TO learn
late in life the lesson which should have
been learned almost before memory began
The ability to take care of ones self in
an emergency is one which can be devel-
oped, Sturdy pioneer children generally
have it, whatever their antecedents have
been. They have been taught from baby
hood 10 rise 10 their own emergencies.
Their muscles are also trained to obey
the will. They can do things automatic
ally If every child in q household, and
every grown person as well, were put
through a fire drill now and then, and

fire starts and nobody is at hand to stop
it, some trouble and loss of life and prop
erty might be saved
