What RusnIa LIS Like.

In Russia everything is large and
everything is loud. Moscow is like an
immense village, anu everything in it
is built broad, not high, because there
is so much space to cover. The public
squares, unpaved and surrounded by a
little rim of cobbles, are as big as
meadows. The arcades and passages.
with their cellars below, their shops
above, their glass roofs, are so enor-
nous that they could hold the Passage
des Panoramas and the Burlington
Arcade and the galleries at Milan with
out filling more than corner of them.
Colors shrek and flame; the Mus
covite eyes sees only by emphasis and
by contrast; red is completed either by
another red or by bright blue. There
are no shades, no reticences, no mod
ulations. The restaurants are filled
with the din of vast mechanical or
gans, with drums and cymbals; a great
bell clashes against chain on all the
trans to clear the road the music
which one hears is a ferocity of brass.
The masons WHO build the houses
build In top boots. red shirts and pink
trousers; the houses are painted red
or green or blue; the churches are like
the temples of savage idols, tortured
into every unnatural shape and colored
with glarlng color. Bare feet, osier
sandals and legs swathed in rags pass
to and fro among the top boots of the
middle classes. the patent leather boots
of the upper classes. like the inner
saYagery of race still so near barbar-
ism, made evident In that survival of
the footgear of primitive races.-Satur-

BOtQ WAR MAQ|hd All thD
Considerable Progress o ade by Brit
iSh last Week. Guerilla Opera
tiOnS may Continue In the
Orange River Colony.

London, Sept. 3-The South
African campaign has made
distinct progress this week, and
there is a general belief that the
end is at hand. Some surprise
was felt at the comparative
weakness of Botha's 5 resistance
IN the strong position no had
selected and fortified. 1t had
been suggested that the exper-
ience of Magersfontein might be
repeated and that the British
would dash themselves in vain
against tiers of enfiladed trench
es, but Lord Roberts, unlike
Lord Methuen on the Modder,
had plenty of mounted men, and
nnlike Gen. Butler on the Tug
ella, he was not bound to attack
the enemy from the least favor
able side.
With the whole of the Natal
army available on the south, he
had Gen. French's cavalry and
two infantry divisions from Pre-
toria against the northern and
eastern hanks of the Boer forces.
Consequently Botha had to re-
tire as soon as a simultaneous
movement from both quarters
was developed, under pain of
being surrounded, and of having
to share the fate of Cronje and
Prinsloo. So far he has avoided
the catastrophe; he has saved his
guns and transport wagons and
lost no prisoners to speak of.
1t remains to be seen whether
his army, as an organized force,
will continue to exist. Most of
the burghers are SAID to have
retired eastward toward the
Barbertou mountains. There,
if they endeavor to make a stand
they should be hemmed IN by
the British army, which has at
least 10000 troops available, and
compelled to surrender; but the
probability is that the majority
of them will disperse to their
own homes, perhaps with the
hope of again joining the com
mandos if they see fair chance.
4 minority of the fighting
burghers, with Kruger himself,
and Louis Botha. Lucas Meyer
and other officers, have gone to
Lydenburg, and In that wild and
broken country. resistance may
be prolonged for some time
longer.
Meantime Boer hands are in
the field in several other portions
of the disputed territory. There
has been fighting between
Theron's commando and the
British to the south of Johan
nesburg, but the censorship has
not permitted the particulars to
be made known. Delarey and
Grobler are also at large in the
Western Transvaal, and DeWet
has now worked his way back tc
to the center of the Orange Free
State. His present following is
small, but his name and reputa:

Burlington, VT. Sept, 3.-The
result of the election in Vermont
is expected to tell which way the
political wind is blowing.
1t is contended that the repub-
lican majority will be more than

Should the republicans have
less than 10000 majority the re-

TWO MEN ON IN ISLAND
THE ALOHA COMES BACK FROM
LAYSAN.
The Only Two Inhabitants Could Not
Agree and One of Them Returns
Aloha gets some Cargo.

The schooner Aloha got back from
Laysan island this morning with 800
tons of fertilizer, Captain Frey having
loaded that much with his own crew.
The Aloha left here on August % and
arrived at Laysan in six days, reach
ing the island just about at the same
time as the Ceylon arrived In Honolulu
with Captain Spencer and the whole
working force of the island.
Captain Frey found only young Spen-
Ger and engineer Luhrs on the island
when he got there. 1t was quite a sur
prise for the master of the schooner
and he was even more surprised to hear
OF the startling reason for the exodus
from the island.
Captain Frey says that the story he
was told by the men at Laysan was
about the same as that related in court
here by Captain Spencer, though Frey
did not get any very full accounts of the
shooting, as the men at Laysan were
not very anxious to talk about It till
they heard the outcome at Honolulu.
Young Spencer and Engineer Luhrs
were living queer life of lonely In
harmony when the Aloha arrived. They
were the only two men on the island,
and they could not get along" together
The engineer came back to Honolulu on
the Aloha and Captain Frey left Tom
Waun, one of his crew, on the island
to keep Spencer company.
When the Aloha arrived on September
1 Captain Frey started to work to get
a cargo with his crew, there being no
Japs at hand. The men worked for
eight days. the steam launch giving
much trouble, as it frequently broke
down. Then the weather began to get
rough as the winter season approach
ed, and Captain Frey pulled up his an
chor and left. II would have got a full
cargo if the good weather had held out"
he said this morning, but it was no
use wasting time trying to work In bad
weather."
Captain and Mrs. Spencer were great
ly worried about their son, and they
hunted Captain Frey up early this
morning to find out if the young man
was all right.
Young Spencer and Luhrs, from all
accounts lived a queer life since the
Ceylon left them alone on the little ISL
and. They were at lOggerheads much
of the time and the situation of two
men living alone on a small speck of
land in mid-ocean and not being friend
ly with one another is not one of much
cheerfulness.
The Ceylon is now on the way to
Laysan with a force of japanese and
should arrive this week. The Aloha will
not go back again. Captain Frey says,
as it is too late in the season for
another trip.

JUDGE ESTEE ARRANGES FOR
OCTOBER TERM.
Walter b. Mailing, Republican, and
Morris Keohokalole, Democrat, APP
pointed to Select Jurors.

Judge Estee this morning appointed
a jury commission to select men for
petit and grand juries for the coming
term of the United States district court.
Walter B. Mailing, clerk of the court,
and Morris X. Keohokalole were ap-
pointed. There is a story about the ap-
pointment of the latter. Just after the
civil war a law was passed requiring
that the commission be composed of one
Republican and one Democrat. This
was on account of a condition down
South. 1t appears that down there all
the court clerks were Democrats and
all the jurymen were, consequently,
Democrats. Now the selection of the
jury is left to a man from each party
with the result that the jury is usually
evenly divided between them.
In the local instance Mr. Mailing is a
Republican and Keohokalole is a six
n-to-oner. Their duty will be to
select 300 names, from which juries will
be drawn. Both grand and petit juries
will be drawn from the number chosen.
The commission will also select juries
for Hilo and any other part of the
islands visited by the court
In Judge Estee's court this morning
the following persons were naturalized
James w. Wiley, Canada; A. F. Tava-
res, Azores; J. A. Gonsalves Madeira;
James Steward, Australia; II. Gregson,
England. Tavares is a delegate to the
Republican convention now in session
here.
Judge Estee stated that unless objec-
tions We're offered tomorrow by the at
torneys, argument in the Dunreggan
wreck case would be heard at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning.

PRAISES CAPT. Smith
MAJOR CRAIGHILL SAYS HE'S ALL
RIGHT.
Congratulates Hawaii and National
Guard on Representative In the Phi
lippines-New Rifle Range.

Major w. E. Craighill, on duty in the
Philippines, has written a letter to
Governor Dole especially compliment
ing Captain Paul Smith, formerly of
Honolulu, for his abilities, soldiery
bearing and bravery. The Territory and
the local National Guard is compli-
mented highly on having sent out a
man of the capacity of Captain Smith.
The letter was read before the EXecu-
tive meeting this morning and was
then referred to the National Guard
for it's information.
Governor Dole submitted the plans
of the National Guard shooting range
to be put in at Kakaako in place of the
one burned by the Board of Health.
The plans were approved and SECRETARY
Cooper vas instructed to advertise for
tenders for constructing the same. This
means that the range will soon be re-
stored.
A. F. Judd asked for the use of the
band at the recpetion to President
Smith, at Oahu College, next Friday
evening. Governor Dole expressed the
view that the band, being a public in
stitution, should not be allowed to play
for private or political functions, and
this opinion was concurred in by other
members of the council.
Vredenberg applied for piece of land
on the waterfront at Hilo. The appli-
cation was denied for the reason that
the government wishes to hold on to
it's waterfront property.
E. P. Dole reported a letter he had
written to deputy sheriffs throughout
the group asking them to cut down
on expenses
Papers changing the style of the First
American Bank to it's new name were
reported and approved.
Application for a charter of the Pearl

The Liberty Society gives in its cir
cular a review of the events of the past

emperor, caused the Boxer outrages and
involved the nation in difficulties with
all the powers of the world. The OBJ
jects of the society are then given. be-
ing to preserve the nation, restore the
emperor and establish a new progress

new society has already started on the
war path. has captuared two small
cities and is in possession of plenty OF
arms and funds.
The circular also contains rules
adopted for the sOciety's members.
There are strict injunctions for the

The bylaws of this latest of Chinese
reform societies contain the section that
is in all Chinese societies, stating the
pledge of members to stand by one an
other at all times, but the customary
accompaniment of this pledge is lack
ing. People who are outside the pale of
the society, 1t is stated, must also be
treated kindly and justly.
