STORIES OF OFFICIAL WASHINGTON.
The New Congressman's Wife Tells Some Tha,
Are Both Good and New.
There has been a great deal of spec
nlation as to the New Congressman's
Wife who has written a series of arti-
cles for The Saturday Evening Post.
giving the inside gossip of official life
in Washington. IN this weeks issue
she repeats a number of stories which
have been going the rounds at the din
ner parties. Among them are the
following:
And / heard something else said
|: you know, Robert. what a magni-
ficent talent | AVE for hearing things.
Well, | heard something anent our
political outlook which | thought was
very witty. Senator p said that
he went to a dinner the other night
given exclusively to men, aud Corporal
Tanner was among the guests. OF
course the talk was almost wholly Of
politics II Of the big measures which
are before Congress. Some one asked
Corporal Tanner what he thought the
effect of the IIay7Pauncefote treaty
and the Puerto Rican Bill would be,
if they became law, on the November
elections. and what chances we had Of
4 Republican House.
oh, WELL said he gravely. in view
of our treaty with the Sultan of Sulu
! think that we ought to carry Utah
at the November elections without
doubt"
What about Mr.. Quay?!" | asked.
II shall emphatically vote to seat
him upon constitutional grounds. Not
to seat him will make "a dangerous
precedent. Besides. we shall need
Quay before the campaign is over. He
can do things hat no one else can or
will do, and there will be plenty Of
work for him. Quay used to have the
funniest way Of attaining an end il,
the Senate. Whenever he used to get
a hint hat any Of Pennsylvania in
dustries were in danger Of losing pro-
lection during a former tariff stru~
gle he would produce book after book
from under his desk. and solemnlv
read hundreds of pages for hours at a
time, all about steel and glass. until
hall the Senate WOuld flee and the
other would purchase his silence by
granting him whatever concession he
wanted. | believe h Ia he kept those
books as a sort of bOgie to threaten
the Senate, for they We're always IN
der his desk"

.AAA SOUATTERS 70 MOVE WAR VESSEL FROM CHILE
ORDERED TO LEAVE THE PARK
BY THURSDAY.
Quitting of the School House Near
the Squatters Camp is Cause for
Their Ejectment.

CONSERVATION reigns in the camp Of
the Aala fark squatters. They have
been ottiotauy served with oruers to
Vacate their improvised settlement i'm
meulateIy ana, in consequence all of
them are in desperate straits for lack
OF some pace to go.
Road Supervisor Campbell visited
the settlement yesterday afternoon and
on orders OF Mr.. McCandless told the
squuttvis that they must leave their
shacks by Thursday or the officers
would come and tear Gown the huts
from over their heads. Campbell found
practically every Chinese in the lit
tie settlement smoking opium. Few Of
them could understand word of Eng
fish and it was with difficulty that he
was able to convey to them the object
of his visit. He finally got them to un-
derstand that they must be out of the
places by Thursday morning. In or
der not TO work a hardship the men
were allowed all of today in which get
their belongings together, and leave

thing to take and what they have is
OF the most nOndeScript character. A
few odd pots and kettles, some old mat
ting, few blankets and a multiplicity
of opium layouts constitute most of the
cOlony's belongings.
This order was made necessary by
the approaching work on the school
which is to be located in the warehouse
in the Park and within a few yards of
the settlement. None of the Chinese
had moved today and they seemed de-
termined to remain over night. Dirty
and poverty ridden as are the shacks
they have been home to all of those
Chinese for months past and the
thought of leaving them is as sad to
them as the loss of a mansion would
be to more enlightened people In fact
the Chinese have been placed in an un-
fortunate predicament for few if any
of them have any place to go when
they are forced to leave their shacks
"Wher- you go john" was asked this
morning.
Il don't know. I no got place to 60"
replied every one of the men. "By'm
by we go see nuther place"
1t is doubtful if any of them know
where they will go tomorrow. Seven
of them are fishermen and they will
seek some plot of ground nearer the
water. The balance will scatter about
the city and no doubt establish them
selves in similar quarters If they fnd
a piece of land where the owner will
tolerate their presence. Just what to
do with them is very disagreeable
problem for the police. 1t is doubtful
if any of the Chinese could live without
smoking opium or the yen-shee, and
under these circumstances it would be
almost impossible to keep them under
restraint in the prison for they would
soon die off The shacks will be demo-
liShed

.PLAGUE IN THE COLONIES AUCIONEER AND LIQUOR
SYDNEY AND BRISBANE STILL
INFECTED.
Newcastle Kicks at Sydneys Discon-
tinuing of Precautions-Doctor in
the Colonies DO Not Agree.

Sydney and Brisbane are still trou-
bled by cases of bubonic plague. though
they are no longer called infected ports.
Advices by the WarrimOo this morning
state that there were thirteen cases in
the Sydney hospital when she left, on
August 13. During the previous week
only one fresh case was admitted and
eight persons who had been cured were
released, bringing the total of cures up
to 1SS.
The Warrimoo was kept six feet from
the wharf here, as a measure of pre-
caution, though she had a clean i;ill of
health from the Sydney authorities.
Brisbane is a little worse off than
Sydney. Six or seven cases were re-
ported there during the week previous
to the sailing of the Warrimoo. There
was no epidemic, however, and the dis
ease was gradually dying out.
Newcastle has made "a kick against
the cessation of precautions 81 Sydney,
while cases are still occurring. Sydney
declared herself a clean port about two
months ago, though sporadic cases
were occurring then and have been re-
ported ever since. Newcastle authori-
ties announced that they would ne al
low unfumigated vessels frofn sydney
to have any communication with the
shore.
The doctors in the Colonies have been
through the usual controversies as to
whether there was any plague at all or
not. The Sydney Herald of August 13
publishes the following Melbourne dis
patch on the subject:
"Dr. Rougier, of Sydney, who had ex-
perience of the bubOnic plague at Cal
cutta in 1897, called upon DR.. Gresswell,
chairman of the Board of Health, on
Saturday, and in the course of CONVEX
SItion he said that the Sydney out
break of plague was identical with that
which he experienced at Calcutta. DR..
Lucas, of Brisbane, recently expressed
the opinion that there had been no true
plague in Australia"

LAWYERS RSANDHUMPHREYS
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN
THEM TO-DAY.
Request of Attorneys in Interest of
Civil Cases is Denied-Jurist Ex-
presses Strong Views.

The following self explanatory cores
pondence passed this morning between
several attorneys and Judge Humph-
reys:
ITO the Honorable A. s. Humphreys,
First Judge of the Circuit Court.
Honorable and Dear Sir:
1--WE the undersigned members of the
Bar of the Territory of Hawaii res
pectfully petition and request your
honor to make some arrangement
whereby the civil calendar may be
taken up either by yourself or the
second Judge of this court during the
remainder of this present term. We
feel the necessity of making this re-
quest on behalf of the numerous liti-
giants and feel that the civil business of
the courts is entitled to be taken into
consideration as much as the criminal
work and therefore do not hesitate to
ask that one judge devote his time ex-
clusively during the term to the trial of
civil causes.
I'VE have the honor to be, your obe-
dient servants,
Davis & Gear, Atkinson & Judd,
Paul Neumann, ]. NJ Davidson, Charles
F. Peterson. f. M. Hatch, A. G.. Corea,
F. NJ. Brooks, Kinney, Ballou & Nc
Clanahan."
To this letter Judge Humphreys re-
piled as follows:
T. Replying to your polite note of even
date, l beg to say that it WILL in my
View be impossible to make some ar
rangement whereby the civil calendar
may be taken up either by the first or
second Judge of this court the remain
der of this present term While there
are two court rooms, yet one of them
is now being used-properly, I conceive
by the United States District Judge,
so that only one court room is at the
disposal of the Circuit Court, save only
for short periods of time, when the
other court room is not in actual use
by the United States District Court. But
even if both court rooms could be used
by the Circuit Court I should still pur-
sue the policy of dispOsing of criminal
cases before hearing any civil causes,
as defendants in criminal cases are, un-
der the Constitution of the United
States, entitled to speedy public trial
and it would be rank injustice-an act
of oppression-to keep these people in
Jail while matters of purely private
concern are engrossing the attention of
the court. 1 cannot lend my acquies-
cense to your statement that the civil
business of the courts is entitled to be
taken into consideration as much as
the criminal work, for liberty counts
and will always while 1 am on this
bench, for more than dollars. 1 shall
hope that your statement was made
arguendo and that it was not interded
to declare a principle"

HUNTINGTON LAID TO REST.
Entire System Stopped During Part of
Funeral.

NEW YORK, August 17.-Funeral
services were held this morning over
the body of Coils p. Huntington in the
great house at Fifth avenue and Fifty
seventh street. The body was taken to
WoOdlawn Cemetery at noon and was
laid in the space reserved for it in the
gray stone tomb near the crest of the
hill, During the last moments attend
ing the placing of the remains in the
tomb the entire system of which Mr..
Huntington was the head, was stopped
out of respect to his memory
The florists said that the demand for
flowers for this funeral had seriously
affected the flower market in this part
of the country. The supply of lilies of
the valley within 200 miles of New York
was exhausted to the last hundred bios
SONS.
Charles H. Tweed, second vice-presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific Railroad
and for many years Huntlngton's legal
adviser, said tonight that nothing con-
cerning the will would be given out for
the present. 1t is likely that the formal
reading of the last testament of the
railroad king will be postponed until
the arrival from Europe of Princess
HatZfeldt, HuntingtOn's adopted
daughter. Tweed also stated that it
was probable that II. r. Huntington
would succeed as president of the
Southern Pacific Company.

SERVICE IMPROVED.
Uncle Sam Will Get Delayed Mail to
Canadian Boats.

SEATTLE, August 14.-The post
Office department has ordered the in
auguratlOn of a scheme to supplement
the Australian mails from Seattle, go
ing by way of British Columbia ports.
1t has frequently occurred that fol-
lowing the departure of Australian
steamers from Vancouver a consider
able amount of Australian mail would
arrive here only few hours late. The
plan now proposed includes the inter
ception of the Australian steamers at
Victoria by sending mail in pouches by
Sound steamers to reach Victoria the
following day. The order issued by
General superintendent White, of San
Francisco, last Saturday reads:
Referring to general order 429 (March
10, 1899, this Office is advised that the
dispatch of Australian mails via Van
couver B. c., may be supplemented by
dispatch from Seattle, Wash. to Vic
toria, b. c., by steamers sailing from
Seattle at HIS p. m, and intercepting
the Vancouver steamer at Victoria the
day following the sailing from Van
couVer. Correspondence so dispatched
will be forwarded in open mails to be
made up at Victoria, b. c., it being un-
derstood that the Victoria connection is
to be used only after departure of the
latest connection from Seattle to Van
couver. This supplemental dispatch
has reference to the Australian mails
only. as the China-Japan steamers cam
not be similarly connected at Victoria.

JAPANESE IN THE TARTAR CITY

LONDON, August 22.-An official dis
patch from Tien Tsin, dated August 20,
and received at Toxic, repeats that the
Japanese occupied the Imperial Palace
at Peking August 16, and says that
about August ~ the Dowager Empress
and the Emperor and Ministers left Pc
king with 5000 troops, their destination,
it is supposed, being Sian Flu.
Peking, being in great confusion, was
divided into several districts. Half the
Tartar City was placed under the con-
troll of the Japanese, and committees OF
Japanese, American, British Russian
and French officers were appointed to
maintain order. A detachment of ia
panese troops rescued the foreign mis-
sionaries and Chinese Christian con-
verts who had been imprisoned in the
Palace. Two hundred Japanese were
killed or wounded.

MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.
No Information at Washington that
More are Needed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The War
Department has no information con-
cerning the report from London that
additional troops for the allied armies
are urgently needed. If this was the
case, nothing more could be done by
this Government at present. The troops
now under orders for the Far East will
continue to go forward and when they
reach Nagasaki 1t will be determined
whether they will go to China or to Ma
Mia, the Philippines being the original
destination of some of the troops under
orders. There are now in China the
Ninth Infantry, eight companies of the
Fourteenth Infantry, Battery f of the
Fifth Artillery, eight troops of the
Sixth Cavalry and four companies of
the Fifteenth Infantry, the latter hav-
ing recently arrived. There are at sea,
destined for China, four batteries Of
the Third Artillery, Company E of the
Engineers, four troops of the Third
Cavalry, eight troops of the First Cav
airy and eight troops of the Ninth
Cavalry. Besides, there sailed on the
Sherman today four companies each
of the Second, Fifth and Eight Infan-
try. Some of the troops at sea should
reach Taku within week or ten days.
The transport Hancock left Nagasaki
on the 18th of this month, and 1t is be-
lieved she has arrived at Taku, She had
on board four batteries of artillery.
These batteries did not have artillery
with them but are expected to do SER
vice as infantry until their guns can
be sent to Taku, If it is decided to send
them. The Hancock also took 500 ma
Tines, which are expected to do service
in China. The transport Stephens has
left Manila for Taku, carrying twenty
five wagons and teams for service in

MATTER NOT YET DECIDED
HONOLULU HAS REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION STILL.
Proposition From Hilo Not Considered
by Central Committee as Yet
George w. Smith Talks.

The Advertiser this morning publish
es the following:
1T is understood that the Territorial
convention of the Republican party will
be held at Hilo and not In Honolulu.
1t is said this was resolved on yester-
day at u meeting of the Republican
Central Territorial Committee, and that
a secret was made of the resolve. Nc
definite information could be gotten
last night. Saturday the primaries
will be held which will result in the
election of delegates to this territorial
convention, which is to be held on
Thursday and Friday, September 20 and
21, for the adoption of a platform no
mination of a Delegate to Congress and
the election of a Territorial Central
Committee"
George w. Smith, chairman of the
Republican Central committee, says:
There has been no decision to hold the
convention at Hilo. No meeting of the
central committee was held yesterday
nor has any been held since the first
proposal in regard to Hilo was made.
The whole thing comes from a letter
received last Saturday from w. H,
Smith, editor of the Tribune, at Hilo
inviting the convention to that city,
The letter was discussed informally by
members of the committee on the
streets, but there was no meeting on
the subject and has been no formal dis
cussion of it.
Il do not know what may be done
and none of us will know until after a
meeting has been held
Hilo is very anxious to capture
the con VentiOn and is willing to put uI
money for 1t. There are Republicans
in town who think it would be a good
campaign move to hold the convention
on the big island.

FORMER CAN'T SELL LATTER IN
OWN PLACES.
Must Be Sold in Places Holding Licen-
ses for the Same-No Kerosene Ware
house-Sheriff Andrews.

The Executive this morning ruled that
auctioneers could not sell liquors in
their places of business under their own
licenses only. 1t has been the practice
in the past for auctioneers to take beer
or other liquors to their auction rooms
for sale The opinion of the Attorney
General was auctioneers might sell Ii
quors in the houses covered by the Ii
quor license, but there only, and this
view was sustained by the council.
In regard to the application of Castle
& Cooke for permission to construct a
warehouse for storing oil of the Stan
dard Oil Company the Attorney General
handed down an opinion to the effect
that the Executive had no authority to
grant such privilege. A motion to ac-
cept the opinion passed unanimously.
A letter from Sheriff Andrews stated
that he had interviewed all the promi-
nent men at Hilo and their opinion was
that no more saloon licenses should be
granted for that city. The letter was
in reply to one written by the Govern
ment some days ago asking for this in
formation. 1t was decided on the
strength of the letter ind report that
any future applications for liquor liceD-
ses at Hilo be denied.
The remainder of the me eting VAS
devoted to general business.
The Government received no naWs
from Washington by either Of the three
mails of the past few days.

The highly gratifying progress and
prosperity of the Provident Savings can
be distinctly traced to a three-fold
cause-namely a wise, skillful and
energetic management. an intelligent
and enthusiastic force of business pro-
ducers, and the most dasirable and up
to-date policy contracts. I. r. Burns
is the resident manager; office in new
