THE SUNDAY FIELD DAY.

There is mich adverse comment
among people whose respect for the
American Sabbath has not, been dim
med, at the proposal to have noisy
demonstration by the militia on Sun
day. In other parts of the United
States, even in the easy-gofng com
monwealths of the Pacific Coast, the
public authorities maintain the quiet
and good order which belongs to the
day set apart for Christian worship.
AT least the worst of them draw q line
ct celebrations, military parades and
sham battles. It is reserved for Ho-
nolulu to initiate a Sunday of mock
warfare with all that is implied in the
way of artillery firing and small arms
practice, charging, hurrahing and up
roar generally and the usual refresh
ments afterwards. At this rate it may
soon be the fashion to have Sunday
dancing picnics with brass band.
Sunday horse races and Sunday vaude-
vile.
The only argument for this form Of
dissertation is that the Guardsmen are
busy week days. But this is no argu-
ment at all. It is duty which man
accepts with his enlistment to serve
under the colors when he is called out,
week days not excepted. He is no Sun
day soldier. His business is to obey
orders without looking at the calendar.
If he is unwilling to do that he would
better get out of the Guard.
The protests made to the Governor
as conlmander-in-c chief of the Hawaiian
National Guard will, we trust, be heed
ed. They are made by friends of the
citizen soldiery who believe that the
Guard viii suffer both in prestige and
future enlistments if the Sunday field
day is held and that the good name of
the Territory and of it's authorities
will be smirched.

YA1Es GUESTS ARRIVING.
Speaker Hatoyana Of Japan the First
to Reach New Haven.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 1.-THE
first of distinguished guests of the Yale
bi-centennial to arrive in this city reach
ed here today. They were Mr.. and Mrs.
Hatoyama Mr.. Hatoyama is speaker of
the Japanese House of Representatives
ana is at the head of the Japanese State
Semmon Sakno, in which there are 1900
law students. He is a graduate of the
Yale Law School, class 81. They are the
guests of Prof. George 7. Ladd, Were
will also stop the dozen other Japanese
guests for the bl-centennial.
Mr.. Hatoyama denied that he and his
wife sighted President Roosevelt by not
keeping an appointment to dine with the
president at the White House a few days
ago He said that it had been planned to
take dinner with the pres.uent, but the
latter changed his program and asked
his visitors to luncheon instead. The vis-
itors had other engagements Tor that
hour. and therefore didn't dine at the
White House He added an interesting
bit of Yale gossip as follows:
Il called on the president and he as
sured me that he would be glad to meet
me on the platform at Yale in two weeks
wnen we both should receive the same
honor from that university, the degree
o. doctor of laws"
Another visitor to arrive in this city
is Bishop Won Schwele, Representative
of the King of Sweden. He is stopping
with Prof Palmer. The Swedish and
German Lutheran pastors of this city

PALACE OF NEBuCaADHxzzAB.
German Explorer, Believes He Has
Found Palace CourtysrS.

BERLIN, Oct. 12.-Dr. Koldevey has
sent here further report about prog
ress of the excavations he and his Ger
man colleagues are carrying on at the
supposed site of Nebuchadnezzar's palace
in ancient Babylon. He says he has dis
covered in the south quarter of the town
a square courtyard SURROUNDED by walls.
the southern of which is a very fine piece
of architecture.
The wall is faced with glazed tiles
which seem to have wonderfully with
stood the ravages of time, and are arts
ticaly ornamented with flowers and ira
Gerry; but many of the tiles have fallen
out of their places to the ground, and
they have had to be carefully pieced to-
gether. This has been successfully done
and the result shows beautiful design.
The design is now on the way to Ger
many.
In the courtyard were also found sew
eral bricks, evidently part OF. mosaic
pavement, the design of which was com
posed of enamels and glass-rafse work,
as well as collins, coins, fragments of
stone inscriptions, and a broad slab on
which was a picture of the Babyionian
idea of hell.
DR.. Koldeyey considers the recent finds
as fully proving that this part Of the city
contained what was doubtless the finest
of the Babylonian palaces, and conse-
quentIy the palace OF Nebuchadnezzar.
Meanwhile excavations are being carried
on in the business quarter Of Old Baby
lon, where in 1874 the ent-re business doc
uments of the Babylonish firm "EgIbi
q Son''-possibly the oldest house of
business "of which the world holds rec
ord, to use Tennyson's phrase-=were dug
out by Arabians. These documents-un-
paid bills, day books. ledgers, etc.-were
made of hardened clay, and the wonder
is that they had not crumbled away dur
ing the course of the centuries. In one
case it is clear that the unpaid bills are
now only of historic interest, lor the
Babylonian legal period of limitation
must have long expired.

AN IMAGINARY DANGER.

The Argonaut again shows it's fear
that thousands of Chinese in Hawaii
win take advantage of the ruling of the
Treasury Department in the case of ii
Ii Hong and go to California AS the
Advertiser has said before, there is no
real ground for this apprehension.
While California seems a very defect
able land to a Chinaman in the crowded
purlieus of Canton or to the coolie bur
den-barrier of Hongkong, it is a place
which the Chinanan of Hawaii looks
at askance. Here wages are better and
work steadier than in California, Asia
tic merchants and artisans do more for
themselves and there is no prejudice
against the yellow races such as the
Chinese of the Pacific coast have to
contend with. Why should the Hawai-
ian Chinaman exchange prosperity for
possible adversely, opportunity for inn
portunity and friendship for hostility?
The Advertiser is convinced that If
the way were opened to the Chinese to
pass freely between the Pacific Coast
and Hawaii these islands would gain
five where they would lose. one. There
is work the year around here for Orien-
tai field laborers At better average pay
than they can get for a portion of the
year on California ranches. Vastly
more money per capita is in cfrcula-
ton here than on the coast. The treat
ment of the Asiatics is humane and
even indulgent. Hence to a hoodlum-
bafted Chinaman of the coast, life in
Hawaii must appear idyllic.

EGYPT EXPLORATION FUND.
a Venerable Relic Voted to the
Chicago Museum.

BOSTON, Oct 13.-The Rev. DR.. VIII
liam Copley winslow. vice-president
for the United States of the Egyptian
Exploration Fund, announces that the
London committee has voted to present
to the Chicago Museum the curious bar
of gold found at the royal tombs of
Abydos. A exact facsimile has been
received by DR.. Winslow and placed in
the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It
has been mounted on black marble and
is about five inches long. The name
of Aba is incised on the cartouche, such
as it then was. and probably dates
about 1850 B. c. Near the top Of the
bar is hole, which causes DR.. Win
slow to suggest that it was used for
ornamental purposes, but Prof Petrie
thinks that its purpose was unknown.
At the lower end is a close cross hatch

The discharge from the military SER
vice of Major Russell B. Harrison, son
of the ex-President has never been ex-
planned. 1t was a summary proceeding
which occurred While the Major was an
inspector general in the Philippines.
The rumor which came out lately after
Major Harrison had called on President
Roosevelt, is that the young man was
punished, at the instance of Adjutant
General Corbin because of his fathers
critical attitude towards the insular
policy of President Mckinley If that
was the fact, Major Harrison, as man
who had done his duty ir the field was
badly used, the more so because ex-
President Harrison had opposed the is
suance of a commission to him in the
first place and was not on friendly
terms with him personally. Under all
the circumstances the Major seems to
be entitled to a court of review.

MORE FROM THE SANDER BUREAU.

AS a sample of the falsehoods now
being circulated in the States in the
interest of the political carpet baggers
we know of nothing more representa-
tive than this extract from the San
Francisco Newsletter:
The bandits who have carried Miss
Stone into mountain Businesses and de-
manded a ransom for her life. are not
worse hooters than the majority of the
planters of Hawaii are and long have
been. Among other things they have
stolen the ex-Queen's private estate, de-
MED her recompense, cheated the natives
out of their patrmony, and imported
coolies to take their places In the cane
fields.
The ex-Queen's private estate has
never been taken from her and could
not be under the law, hence no recon-
pensen is needed; the natives have al
ways been eager sellers of their lands
preferring money to real estate; and
as they were never willing to work in
the cane-felds their places" were not
given to coolies.
The Newsletter continues:
In an evil hour they fell foul of a Fed
eral Judge sent to the Islands to admin
lister sound law and enact justice. They
had the effrontery to try to control that
Judge, and, when they failed, petitioned
Washington for his removal
The planters have no quarrel with.

The only Federal Judge in these islands.
Judge Estee, has never complained that
any one was trying to control him nor
has any petition ever gone to Wash
ington for his removal. In the case of
one. Territorial judge, a blaekleg from
Arizona, the Hawaiian Bar Association
branded him by vote of 81 to Z, not
because he could not be controlled"
for no one has ever tried to control him.
but because he is as unfit. mentally and
morally to be a judge as a bunco man
is to be cashier of bank.
AS for the Newsletter it IS quite
worthy, in its studied misrepresentation
of Hawaii, of the friendship of such.

TRIBUTE TO WHITE womEN.
Southern Negro Praises Them En-
thusla sticaily If Influence.

DALLAS, Tex, Oct 12-This was
Negro Day at the Texas State Fair.
Fully twenty-five thousand negroes at
tended. President W. H Council of the
Negro Agricultural and Mechanical Col
Iege of Alabama, was the orator of the
day. His speech seemed to delight the
members of his own race and was Wig
orously applauded by his white listen
ers. In his address President Coun-
Gill said:
''If were to scale the gamut of his
tory and pluck from the diadem of the
worlds honor its brightest gem of viz
tue, 1 could present to you no higher
example of womanly integrity than is
found in the white woman Of the
South today. She excites the admira-
ton of all lovers of truth and honor
Were it not for her, Southern society
would be confusion worse COMPOUNDED
1t would be pandemonium in riot. She
is loyal to her race. She admits to her
embraces no other. She stands like q
rock in a weary land, maintaining the
purity of both races in the South as
far as she can. 6
Il am grateful to her. You must be
proud of her. I am also glad that the
educated element of my race has no
desire for what is known as social
equality The educated negro desires
the continued identity of his own race
and seeks to adorn, dignity and exalt
his own social circles, to accommodate
his most extravagant social ambition.
1t is the ignorant negro who feels that
the solution of the race problem means
equality of the races. The educated
negro is satisfied with the equality of
virtue and a chance to be a man in
his own sphere, after his own kind. as
the Creator ordained"

The money raised in San Francisco
for a Mckinley memorial may be spent
on an arched gate for the main en-
trance to Golden Gate park. Past ex-
perience with California art has made
the public suspicious of statuary There
are, of course many other proposals,
one correspondent wanting the fund to
be loaned to needy and worthy citizens
at two per cent per annum, but the
arch is likely to be chosen. Preference
for that kind of monument to the great
dead dates back to Greece and Rome
and farther yet, partly because of it's
majesty and grace and partly because
it endures the buffets of time and the
changes of taste better than any form
of sculpture.

The drouth at Hamakua has been
ended by soaking rain. AS drouths
do not often occur in that district there
is hope for few seasons of normal
rainfall to follow the recent one,
though prophecies may we'll await a
determination of the theory that the
loss of such large area of forest must
necessarily lessen the amount of precip-
itation.
