German Troops Take Possession of a Com

Continue--Stories of Russian Brutality
Officially Confirmed.
London, Sept 5.-Today's dispatches
from Shanghai and Tien Tsin refer to
the hopeless confusion and misman-
agement of the Chinese telegraph sys-
TEN, which may account in part for the
delay in getting the news from Picking.
Another reason for the delay doubt
less is the anxiety of the Chinese au-
thorities to procure the evacuation of
the capital No effort is being spared
by them to bring this about. Their
idea is that should the foreign minis
tiers in Picking be allowed free commu-
nication with their governments the
full extent of the completely of the Chi
nese government in the anti-foreign
outrages would be related and would
lead the allies to remain until retribu-
ton had been eXacted.

Foo in a Russian gunboat and is re-

''rhe proceedings of the Russians in
and around Picking are watched with
some anxiety. The situation threatens
to develop many complications. 1t is
said that the Russians intend to take
Shan Hal Kwan. They have assumed
complete possession of the Hal Ku ar
senal at Tien Tsin and allow admis-
sion to none but Russians. The ar
senal still contains thousands of
pounds worth of guns and ammunition.
THE Russians are charged with cut

Picking and with committing various
other petty annoyances."
Regarding the evacuation of Picking,
says the correspondent of the Times

will pursue the course approved by a
majority of the powers.

FROM the columns OF The Even

Not the least Of moral obligations
placed upon Governor Dole as Re:
publican ,appointee is the carrying
OF this Territory at the first election
for the Republican, This is recog-
nized among all politicians more
particularly those prominent in ma
tional affairs. The Governor has
the advantage of an organization
behind him that has shelved fac
tional differences and placed per-
sonal opinions secondary to the suc.
cess Of the party under whose con.
troll Hawaii's continued prosperity
can only be assured.

"We are out Of danger when Mr.

The Advertiser is responsible for
the following interview with John
f. Colburn, which the gentleman
says is absolutely correct:
"You can say that Her Majesty,
Queen Liliuokalani, having held the
high post she once did, would deem
it unwise to state her position de-
finitely with reference to the poll
tical parties of Hawaii, certainly
not with view OF antagonizing the
Republican party. Still her uatur,
al preference is with Prince David"
So said John f Colburn, Prince
David's adviser, and one OF the
leading members Of the Democratic
party, to an Advertiser reporter last
night in the course of stenogra-
phic interview. The interview was
held in the residence OF John Gum.

guest at lunch.
Furthermore" continued Mr..
Colburn, "Her Majesty does not
want an irresponsible Legislature
elected which would impose heavy
taxation upon the Territory. The
Queen is property owner and is
DESTROYS of having reasonable taxes
She feels that the Hawaiians should
keep themselves upon record in the
creditable attitude they have taken
since the dethronement.
Actions speak louder than words
and blood is thicker than water,
Her very relationship to Prince
David speaks more than words can
express. She is his aunt aud the
ties Of consauguinity are strong in
those Of the Hawaiian race. L Her
Majesty should die intestate this
night her entire property would go

the true explanation is that the In

Balance of Trade.

1t seems strange that American
people can be so fooled in the bal
ance of trade theory so often men-
toned by politicians.
1t is generally spoken Of as a fay.
orable balance when we export
more than we import. If this were
so India and ireland should be
prosperous countries. Each mer-
chant should be prosperous when
his books show that he buys Tim
ports) more than he sells (exports)
Let him continue for years to buy
more, measured by value, than he
sells measured likewise and ask
yourselves what the result will be.
Suppose John Bull lives on one
farm and his neighbor Johnathan
lives on another just across the
road but that John Bull owns both
of them, They trade with each
other and Johnathln finds he has
hauled much more prodnce over to
Mr.. Bull than has been brought
back and therefore has favorable?
balance of trade. Mr.. Bull finds
that he has an unfavorable? bal

exceeds his exports. From these
