morning, with President Mclean in the
chair. Sessions were held both in the
morning and afternoon, and the work of
the convention Will be concluded tonight.
The attendance is large, delegates being
present from practically every state and
territory in which the Church of Christ is
represented and from number of the
missionary fields as we'll.
The feature of the morning session was
the address of 3. E. Farris, whose mis-
of the Congo Free State. Mr.. Farris was
very severe in his denunciation of the
Belgian government, which administers
affairs in the Congo, telling his hearers
that the natives were oppressed by their
rulers, and were frequently shot down for
trivial causes or for no cause at all. The
government he said, was corrupt from top
to bottom; and did all in its power, in an
unofficial way, to hinder the missionaries
in their work.
Mr.. Farris told Of the success attending
the mission school recently established
in the. Congo, and said that the children
were very quick to learn. His address
was not completed at the morning session,

Twain, whose attacks upon the foreign

great injury to the cause.

Chicago, Oct. 14.-A Washington special
to the Chronicle says that Judge Advocate
General Lemly's announcement, made just
before the close Of Saturdays session of
the Schley court, that he would close the
governments case Monday was received
with rejoicing by every one concerned.
Lemly has made such lamentable failure
of his case from the outset and has appar
emily so completely exhausted the re-
sources Of the bureau of navigation that
it was conceded that after Chadwick and
Staunton appeared on the stand all subse-
quent witnesses would merely reiterate
testimony that had been given by previous
witnesses.
Much of the testimony that will be
brought out by Admiral Schley's counsel
will be sensational.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1901-10-14

Another thing that will be proved is
that the battleship Texas did not stop and
back her engines to escape the Brooklyn,
as Lieutenant Commander Heilner testi-
fed. The evidence that will be intro
duced to sustain Admiral Schley's conten-
tion that the Texas was not interfered
with comes from the highest possible
source of Information.
The closing of Lemly's case calls at
tention to the evidence that has been in
troduced against Schley during the last
month and makes it clear that, with the
possible exception of the retrograde move
ment, not single paragraph Of the de-
partment's precept remains unanswered.
The retrograde movement may be said to
be still pending. 1t was undertaken by
Admiral Schley on account of the coal
supply OF the ships under his command.
Captain Miller of the Merrimac has testi-
fed that he would not have permitted
warships to coal from his vessel on June
26 when the retrograde movement began.
Captain Sigsbee has made it clear that to
have attempted to coal off Santiago on
OAO * UOuAo nave D6Gu extremely ndZ-
ardous.
The fact that when Schley was enabled
to coal his ships he promptly turned back
and established blockade at Santiago is
regarded as a strong factor in favor of
the commander of the flying squadron.
The complete defense Of that movement
will depend upon Admiral Schley himself.
The operations of his mind during the
time he was searching for the Spanish
fleet and the perils he foresaw after he
arrived at Santiago will undoubtedly ex-
ercise a strong influence upon the court
IN determining whether or not Schley
erred in ordering the retrograde move
ment. His failure to destroy the Colon
is regarded by some disinterested naval
officers as the most serious blunder of
his campaign, but his counsel entertain
such radically different view Of this
particular affair that 1t may also be con-
sidered to be pending.

The navy department, seeing how des-
perate it's case appeared, brought forward
Potts to charge Admiral Schley with
cowardice. Potts was carefully coached
for the purpose Of making his testimony
effective, but what he said has fallen abb
solutely fiat. Lieutenant Commander
Staunton, who was introduced by the
bureau Of navigation to make damaging
accusations against Schley, actually
cleared away the last vestige Of doubt as
to who was responsible for Schley's al
legged uncertain movements. Staunton
told the truth as he understood 1t. and
thereby laid an indictment against Samp-
son and Captain Chadwick that may cause
one, and perhaps both of those officers, to
demand an inquiry to vindicate their rep
utations.

NOT JUSTICE, BUT LAW.

This playing of hide and go seek with
famous crimes, for which crimes under
the Hawaiian system of law they were
duly convicted, is rather pitiable. The
matter turns upon technical interpre-
tation of the law, not upon justice at
ALL No one denies or can deny that
Wade killed a man on board of the
Australia. Had that homicide occur
red two miles further out to sea, Wade
would have been tried in San Francis
co and would in all probability have
been hanged by now. No one denies
that the Chinese and Japanese murder
ers and rapers are justly serving out
their deserts. But the technicality is
there, and law delights in technicali-
ties rather than justice, while lawyers
live by what the law delights in.
The effect upon the oriental prisoners
must be very curious. They originally
accepted their punishments nd in
most cases considered that they were
lucky to 1T off SO easily. Then some
one came to them and told them there
was a chance of getting Off Imme-
diately there was furry in China
town and Japaneseville, and a fund
was raised. Then the asses came up,
and off walked the orientals in high
glee, only to be re-arrested as soon as
they were out of court. 1t was back
to the prison again. But even this was
not enough, and once more a couple of
prisoners We're got out only once more
to be consigned to durance. The orien-
tai will come to think that his own
system of jurisprudence is a marvel of
consistency as compared with that of
the Western barbarian.
This playing of cat and mouse with
prisoners begets a sympathy for them
they naturally receive. To the I'M
thinking it seems very hard that a man
should be freed and then at once snap
ped up but to those who give the mat
ter thought the prisoner cuts no fl ure,
he is only a puppet which they law is
juggling with. The careful thinker re-
CARDS the law and it's administration
with sorrow and with sadness. For the
law once pure, cold, impeccable, has
through the Juggling of it's interpreters
become a mere idol, fetish, and we
see such muddles as we have here. 1t is
not justice. 1t is mere jugglery.

THE STRIKES.

The labor troubles on the mainland
of the news received from there. We
are not likely to, be affected as far as
the spreading of the strikes to these
Islands, though that is even possible,
but we are certainly affected Indirect
ly. The Transfers strike in San Fran
cisco has affected the importation of
goods here. Merchandise that is ur-
gently needed cannot get to the YES
sells which should bring it here and
We have been Threatened with a short
age of food tufts. This latter is of
course the most important, because
man must eat nature having endowed
him with { stomach which cries cup
board" at least three times a day, but
in other lines there is Serious incon-
Venience and loss Of business, which
means loss Of money.
A letter received from San Francis
co, and written by man in a very
large way of business, contains some
comments on the strikes which are
worth producing. This gentleman says:
THE strike is raising the mischief
with business generally here. 1t is not
local entirely. being scattered all over
the United States but 1 think San
Francisco is the only place where ship
ping has been interferred with. The
employees along the water front struck
through sympathy with the draymen.
There is not a working man in the
whole outfit Who has any fault to find
with his pay or with the hours he had
to work. 1t is simply a question of
unionism
"The labor unions in the United
States today are the most tyrannical
people that ever existed. Their tyran-
ny, however, is directed against their
fellow Workmen. If a man does not
belong to the union they say hat he
shall not work, and if he makes appli-
cation TO join the union, if they see
fit to, they win black-ball him. SO
where is the poor devil going to get
off? Then they say to you or me if we
have a man working for us who does
not belong to the union no matter if he
had been with us for forty years and
everything was satisfactory We must
discharge that man or we will not be

allowed to do business. The PROPOSE
tion Is simply barbarous. The employ
ers of San Francisco have organized
and say that they will have no more
of It, II makes no difference II they
have to close up their establishments
for the next year.
"It is true that we are greatly in
convenienced i'm shipping goods. A
wagon can't go to the wharves with
out policeman in CHARGE of 1t. 1t
seems rather funny to see the d-ays
going along the streets with a police
man sittin~ up with the driver. OF
course, there are not half of the drays
at work. simply because they can't get
drivers for them. There are lots of
men that are willing to work but they
are afraid for their lives"
From the tone of this letter one can
see that the strike is strongly felt but
that the arbitrary power of the labor
unions is felt far more, and that the
merchants and manufacturers have
found themselves driven into a corner,
as it were, where they must fight once
and for ALL or else go under. A fight
of this kind is bound to be a very bit
ter one. The one side is bound to
strive to keep the power which it has
gradually and painfully acquired, and
the other is equally bound to break
through the trammels which encom-
pass it.
Another thing that the letter quoted
above shows. The statements, reiter-
ated about the orderly manner in which
the strike is being carried on are ficti-
tious. If men are afraid for their
lives" the strikers cannot be the aimi-
able lambs that they are represented.
If each driver has to have a policeman
with a loaded revolver beside him,
there must be some strong reason for
having this protection. The fact is that
the published accounts and the private
accounts of the strike are written the
one under fear of coercion and the
other freely.

NOT INSURED.

1t has often been pointed out that
government property should be insur-
ed. Public property all over the United
States is insured, though not all such
property is. The theory, here has been
that anything that has been destroyed
the Legislature will restore, and that
1t is not wise to go to the expense of
insuing public buildings. VIII, it should
be wise to insure the Stangenwald
building, the Judd building or the
Young block, when it is regarded as
needless expense insuring the Judici-
airy building or the Capitol, is t quite
clear, or why Kamehameha Schools
should be insured, and Kaiulani and
Kaahumanu should not be is equally
not clear, One is disposed to think
that the theory of governmental self
insurance does not hold water, and
though we have had no great calamity.
which has swept off a mass of public
property, yet such a calamity might
occur and it would entail an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature, with all its
attenda-t expenses to get money to re-
place the loss.
Take the school houses of the Terri
tory. There are lao public schools and
as many of them are conducted in two
and even three separate buildings,
there are in all probability some 200
buildings in charge of the Department.
These vary in value from $500 to $4,000.
1t is not putting too high an estimate
upon this property to say that it would
take, at the very least $25O,000 to re-
place it, and yet with the exception Of
the High School in Honolulu, not a
single building is insured. There is no
money for the purpose.
On the mainland the cost of insur-
ance Of the school house is most uni
yersally considered as one of the legiti-
mate expenses of running the schools,
and both state, city and county reports
contain the item "cost of insurance"
as regular as they do the cost of teach
ing, the cost of janitors, the cost of re-
pairs and so forth. Surprising a school
house should burn up there would have
to be a heavy drain upon local funds
to replace it, so the county or city
authorities insure.
These remarks naturally occur to
any one who saw in what imminent
danger of being burned down the Ka-
uluwela school house was yesterday.
The trees within six feet of the build
ing took fire and it was only the fact
that the building had an iron and not
O Single roof that saved it from being
ignited by the showering sparks. Had
that building taken fire and been des-
troyed it would have taken from $4,000
to $1,000 to replace it. The legislature
is not in session and there would have
been absolutely no means of rebuilding.
The consequence would have been that
the 200 or more children attending that
school would have had nowhere to
and the Legislature in it's wisdom did
not give a single dollar towards any
school building on Oahu, save only the
Industrial School.
1t is we'll to call attention to this
matter. There are other public BALD
ings besides school houses which should
be insured. At the present time we
certainly go upon a very happy go
lucky style and the result will be that
some day we shall wake un and find
valuable public property gone up in
smoke, with no immediate means of re-
placing ii.
