ANXIOUS TO CONE HERE.
CHINESE PAY BIG PRICES FOR
CERTIFICATES.
Three Hundred Dollars for Mere
Chance of Getting Into the Country
Eight Sent Back.

Eight Chinese who came here on the
steamship Rio on her last call here
from China, We're sent back as reject
ed today, by the United States Immi-
grafton Bureau. They had bought their
certificates in China from MOngOllanS
who had left Honolulu with certificates
allowing them to return. The prices
paid show the great value which Chi
nese place upon the privilege of enter
ing the United States. In one case, ac-
cording to information gathered by the
inspectors, the sum of 1926 was paid for
certificate, upon which the purchaser
could have no certainty, but simply
mere hope, that he might get into the
country
The Rio left the Chinese here on June
80, when she arrived with a large num-
ber of them in her steerage. All were
taken to quarantine island, and the
eight who were sent back today never
got away from there. The immigration
men conduct careful examination in
each case, and the eight who failed to
pass We're not well enough up in the
answers to the questions put, and they
did not look enough like the pictures
on the certificates they held.
Every Chinese return certificate has
on it photo of the man who is enti-
tied to use it. The valuable documents
are given here to Chinese as they are
going on board steamers, emitting them
to return within a year. The eight pur-
chasers of such certificates looked
something like the men from whom they
got the documents, and they hoped to
be able to pass. The Honolulu inspec-
tors had too sharp eyes for such a
game, however.
The price paid for a certificate was
not less than 5000 in any case, it is
stated. The story of how the certificates
were secured was got by the inspectors
in some cases from the Chinese them
selves, under ross-eNamination. Other
( facts were secured from secret detective
sources.
The Rio got away at fifteen minutes
past twelve today. The City of PeklnE,
which was waiting outside the harbor
for the Pacific Mail wharf to be va
Gated entered as the Rio left.

NAME OF EXECUTIVE BUILDING
CHANGED.
Heads of Departments Make Name
Conform to American Custom-Prog-
ress in Extending Streets.

The name of the old Executive build
ing will in future be capitol" This
was decided upon by the Executive this
morning, and becomes official at once.
From June IA the Star has called the
building The capitol" which, with an
nexation, becomes the proper name
for il.
At the meeting held this morning Mr..
McCandless made several interesting
reports in regard to streets. Vineyard
street he said, would be extended to
Liliha in the next few days. The Su-
perintendent submitted a map of the
purposed extension of Kukui street and
the lands required. He was authorized
to go ahead and obtain the land needed
for the extension. The street will
come out on Emma near Emma Square,
With regard to Chinatown the Superin-
tendent reported great difficulty in get
ting land from the owners. He was in
structed to proceed to condemn such
land as was, required. Mr.. McCandless
also referred at some length to the wild
ening of Waikiki, saying that the prop
erty owners along the route were fav-
Orable to the Improvement, and were
willing to make reasonable terms. He
thought that within a, few. days tangible
terms of settlement would be reached.
Mr.. Lansing reported an application
from the Orpheum Company for an
amendment to it's charter reducing the
number of directors from fourteen to
seven. This was approved.
Aki & Co. of Waimea. Hawaii, applied
for a light wine and beer license. Re-
ferred to Sheriff Andrews.
The Hawaiian Electric Company APP
piled for permission to drill an artesian

thing the company should do is to get
permission to lay pipes under the street

this can be gotten from the road de-
partment the request already submitted
will probably be granted

CRACK SHOTS FOR CHINA DID NOT KILL WOUNDED III IS NOW THE CAPITOL
SEYMOUR CARRIED ALL BACK TO
TIENTSIN.
Physician Who Attended the Wounded
Soldiers After Their Return Denounc-
es Sensational Report as False.

DR.. G. p. Smith, who was in charge of
the military hospital at Tientsin until
July 5, arrived today on the Peking
from Nagasaki. He was present in the
city throughoue the entire lombard
ment of the English settlement, and
saw Admiral Seymour's relief column
start for and return from Peking.
THE report that the Admiral killed
his wounded men in order to prevent
their falling into the hands of the enc
my is absolutely false" he declared. II
met the column when it arrived. and l
attended the wounded men after their
return. I talked with them and L
will positively say that such a report
is not the truth. The Admiral had
barely enough men to carry back his
wounded. Had he not had to do this he
would not have abandoned the Hsi Gu,
the extensive fort and arsenal of the
Chinese in the main city of Tientsin.
The bombardment of our settlement be-
gan on June IA, and continued until l
came away. The Boxers burned our
chapels, and attempted the night of
June 10, to set fire to the Roman Cath
olic Cathedral. The small guard which
was left to look after the place was hard
pressed for days and nights, and on the
18th, they nearly succeeded in irving
the town, for all of the troops were
nearly worn out. The station was the
objective point OF nearly all VI lH|li
attacks. This was held by the Rus
SLAMS. On Tuesday, the 18th, tho de-
tenders were tired out and but + 'r the
reinforcement of 300 British blue jack
cts, who charged the Boxers with bay
onets, they would have taken the town,
perhaps, and captured us.
BY this time the town was in desper-
ate straights, and finally a Mr.. Watts,
famous rider, volunteered to ride thir-
ty miles with three Cossacks to Taku
Fort for reinforcements. The reinforce
ments came, and several days atteI
their arrival Admiral Seymour signalled
from the other side of the town of Tien-
tsin that he was sorely pressed and
in need of assistance. A relief force OF
from 900 to 1,2000 men was hastily got
ten up and started at midnight to WORK
it's way around the Boxers. The latter
attacked them but the allies forced
| their way through and effected the re-
lief of Admiral Seymours brave band.

HONkUHAOLOST HIS NOSE
DOCTORS GROW A NEW ONE AT
THE HOSPITAL.
A Man Who Makes His Living by
Chewing Awa-The Story of an Ex-
citing Hula.

A professional awa-chewer was the
principal character in a case which oc-
cupied about an hour of Judge Wilcox's s
time yesterday. He was Kuhao the
complaining witness in the mayhem
case against Kaapana. Kuhao appear
ed in court with an artificial nose,
which had been grated by the doctors
at the Queens hospital, after the trou-
ble with Kaapaua resulted in loss of the
old one. Kuhao told Judge Wilcox a
long and entertaining story of a luau
and hula at which he was the chewer,
getting a liberal share of the drink for
his services, and at which the nose was
lost.
According to Kuhaos account there
was a glorious hula before Kaapana
turned loose. 1t occurred at a native
dwelling in Nuuanu on June 9Th. Kaa-
pana and his wife arrived very late in
the evening, when the hulas were about
to hula some and they gave her a
chance He said she hulaed very well,
and then asked to be taught some new
things about the dance. The leader of
the party said she knew all about it
and had nothing to learn, whereupon
the row began. Kuhao was quietly
chewing his ava root, in order that
there might be plenty of ava to drink,
and he had lot of poi bowls round
him, one of which he would now and
then put to his lips.
Kaapana began to kick the bowls
around, he put out the lights and then
suddenly accosted Kuhao with an in
vitation to fight. Excuses were not
accepted, and the fight began. 1t ended,
according to Kuhao, in his nose being
bitten clean off, and in his receiving
other bites on the cheek and finger. The
victim admitted that he had had so
much ava that he didn't feel it at all
and didn't know till afterwards when
his wife exclaimed Papa, you've got
no nose,' He knew what went on, how
ever. AVA makes you numb he told
the judge but it's not like a whiskey
jag. because a man can see and hear
what goes on
Kuhao's unfortunate encounter made
him the subject of an interesting opera
tion at the hospital. The dctors took
skin from near where the nose had
been and laid it over in the form of d
new nose. The grating was success
full and Kuhao now has something + Il
! nose. This is all new" he told the
judge, touching 1t gently and going
close to the bench, so that his honor
might inspect.
Judge Wilcox held Naapana in S5hi
bonds for trial on a charge Of may

NEWS FROM THEOTHER END
IS THERE HOPE FOR WHITES IN
PEKING?
A Report That Tells of Rescue-Brit-
ish Minister'S Urgent Call for
Help. ------
(By the S. S. city of Peking)

YOKOHAMA, July 1I-According to
a Peking despatch dated the 7th inst,
received by the Acting Viceroy of Che
kiang and Fukien, General Nieh has en-
tered Peking with the object of recu-
ing Prince King and relieving Yulu.
The two remaining Legations were at
the same time rescued and it was dis
covered that the German Minister only
had been murdered. The Boxers were
in low spirits. Prince King and Yulu
had received secret instructions from
the Empress Dowager to attack the
Boxers with the forces of Generals
Mich and Sun. The situation in Peking
was less critical than before.
A TSi-nan-fu telegram to Shanghai
on July 14th, reports that General Tung
Fuhsiang's troops attacked the Lega-
tions on the 9th inst, that officers and
a considerable number of men of the
foreign forces We're killed on that occa-
sion, that on the following day, the 7th,
the Chinese troops and the Boxers
again attacked the Legations but failed
to carry them; that Tung's forces are
using cannon, and that the position of
the Legations is extremely critical
An official telegram to the japanese
Foreign Office from Shanghai, dated
July 10, states that the following tele-
gram had been received from trust
worthy source:
"a messenger who has arrived in
Shantung has brought news of Peking
up to the 9Th inst. He stated that two
Legations We're still standing. The
numbers and influence of the Boxers at
Pelxing were continually decreasing"
CHEFOO, July News of the ut

He bore the following letter, addressed
to the officer commanding any Europe
an troops:
in oh
alton desperate. Make haste. Sunday

lined and are followed by notes of eX-
clamation, and the two preceding words

FULL COMPANY OFFERED FROM
HONOLULU.
Captain Klemme viii Wire Secretary
O. War Tonight Offering the Men
Best of Local Military.

Captain Henry Klemme of Company
A, N. G. H., is the chief in movement
for an American company from Homo
lulu for service in China. Since yes
terday morning he has been receiving
applications for enlistment, and now
has enough for a full company How
ever, other applications will be received
and the best men picked when the time
comes.
The project has received the approval
of Col ]. w. Jones of the First Regi-
ment, and the Adjutant General. Gov
-ernor Dole will this afternoon be asked
to give his endorsement, and will doubt
less comply. A long telegram to the
Secretary of War offering the services
of the company will be sent forward by
the Peking tonight.
Captain Klemme will command the
Honolulu contingent. First Lieutenant
w. r. Riley of Company B, has prac-
tically been selected as first lieutenant.
A second lieutenant will be chosen lat
er. Members of every company in the
First Regiment have volunteered for the
war. Most of them are crack shots and
thoroughly drilled. Sergeants and cor
porals of long standing are among the
volunteers. In fact, indications now are
that the cream of the local military VIII
be in the company to serve Uncle sam
in the far east.
If the contingent is accepted an officer
to muster the men in will be appointed
This may be man on one of the trans
ports, or the major at Camp Mckinley
A discouragement in the way is that
numerous offers from other States and
Territories have been refused for the
reason that the Secretary of War is
only authorized to extend the military
force to 100000 men.
Captain Klemme is a lifelong mill
tary man. He was one of the first tc
volunteer his services for Manila, and
would have gone had contingent from

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
Martin Egan and Ralph Payne for the
Orient.

A reflex of the events in China is
found in the number of war correspond
entS making haste to the scene of ac-
tion. There We're two on the Rio, both
men who have made regulations not
only in journalism, but in the particular
branch of journalism they now go to
prosecute. They are Martin j. Egan Of
the San Francisco Chronicle, and Ralph
Payne of the Chicago Record.
E,gan went to the Philippines for the
Chronicle, Immediately after the battle
of Manila Bay, and his dispatches from
there and the work he did established
his reputation as an energetic and cap
able man. On his return To the main
land he was sent to New York to rep
resent his paper there, and after at
tending both National conventions, he
was sent on eleven hours notice to the
orient.
Ralph Payne has had almost as ro-
mantle a career as a war correspond
ent as anyone whose name has appear
ed among the lists of war correspond
ents. He was in Cuba for months be-
fore the Spanish American war broke
out, with the filibusters and revolution
airy Cubans and had many daring and
hairbreadth escapes. After the war be-
gan he was with the American forces
from the beginning to the the end of the
war. He is a Yale man and found here a
number of his acquaintances of college
days, among them George Carter and
j. =. Cooke.

MULATTo MAY COMMAND.

France has appointed General Alfred
Amedee Dodds, a mulatto and man Of
great fighting ability, to command her
troops in China, and as he is a general
of division of many years standing, he
will probably rank the commanders of
all other bodies of foreign troops, a fact
that If appointment be made by senior
ity would make him international COM
mander in chief.
General Dodds is known as the con-
queror of Dahomey. He was born at
st. Louis, in Senegal about sixty years
ago. He is, in fact, mulatto of mixed
French, English and African blood. He
received his military education in
France, but returned to Africa in 1871.

THE GOVERNORONTHE WAR
DOLEs IDEAS OF THE EASTERN
CRISIS.
Murders at Peking Most Atrocious in
History-Governor Doubts Sincerity
of the Russians.

Governor Dole was deeply impressed
by the news of yesterday of the massa-
cres in Peking. IF our information is
correct he said, there has been moth
ing like it i'm the Christian era At
CawnpOre the atrocities were some
what similar, though the rebellion and
massacres in India were local, affecting
directly only one nation. In Peking not
only were the murders the most savage
to be thought Of but all civilization is
by them directly affected.
What surprises me most Of all is
that the Ministers did not get their
women and children to place of safety
before the outbreak occurred and es-
cape was cut off. Foreign rcpresen-
tatives usually know when trouble is
impending around them. 1t may have
been that the cry of wolf in China has
been raised so many times in China that
they did not attach Importance to the
storm that had threatened for some
weeks prior to the outbreak in May. 1t
is often necessary and noble for a Min
lister to remain at his post amid the
gravest danger, but usually his family
has been sent to place of safety be-
forehand.
Another grave feature of the situa-
tion to my mind is the attitude Of Rus
sia. I have never felt satisfied of the
Cars friendship. While Russia is civ
ilzed, her civilization is peculiar. and
one does not always know into what
channels it may lead. 1t is certain that
her civilization keeps her apart from
other European systems. Russia has
been accused of fomenting the present
trouble in China, ostensibly for the
purpose of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
on the Siberian border. I do not be-
lieve all of that, for it appears that Rus
sia is doing her share in suppTessing
the outbreak. At the same time there
is no bottom to Russian schemes and
the powers may have trouble with the
bear before peace is again restored"

WILL MAKE SACRIFICES.
Reformers Grieve for Their Country's
Great Trouble.

EDITOR STAR-The reformers are
happy to suffer for the righteousness
and good of their native land, even un-
to death. Our desire is not alone to
effect the enthronement of our Emper-
or, but to completely reform the gov
ernment of our country and place it in
the hands of good officials who are ac-
quainted with the right plans Of gov
ernment The newspapers of yesterday
seemed to regard the representatives of
the Chinese Empress as timid men.
Why? Because they have acted unjust
~ and without conscience. Take the
case of John the Baptist After the eX-
ecution of John, King Herod felt so
miserable that he went and killed him
self. 1t would be we'll for both consuls
to think of the conscience of that man,
who killed himself for having caused
the death of but one person. Although
miseries and hardships are falling upon
the Reform party they cannot Danish
our true hearts or diminish our enthu-
siasm. 1t is a certainty that blessings
and happiness follow persecution and
revilement, and so it will be with the
refOrmers. Therefore, l say to my re-
/ form brothers, Keep courage and be of
good cheer, and let us all hope that the
light will no longer be dimmed."

MAY RECALL MISSIONARIES.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE board of
management of the Missionary Society
of the NJ. f. Church, at it's monthly
meeting today passed a resolution Civ
ing full authority to the Chinese COM
mittee to recall all missionaries of the
society now in China If it should at any
time deem it wise to do so. The reso-
luton authorizes the expenditure of any
sums necessary to effect the purpose.
