Paris, June 20.-(Special to The Ad- vertiser. .)-wiii Leo Tolstoi end his days in his native land or will he nn- ish the end of his strangely assorted career in the New World where e-fiis books have been so eagerly read and where he would not be averse to going?
 The Grand old Man of Europe today may even ct his advanced age decide to cross the Atlantic, and there is little doubt that he would be gladly well comed there.
 Friends of his here are willing to see that should no ukase permit of his re- mainiAg in. Russia he will either go to the United States or England to finish what he still considers his labors for the general veal.
 Czar Nicholas would regret to see the final exile of Tolstoi carried out and has done his best to have the decree of accommodation issued against him by the Synod of the Greek Church an- nulled.

 But Tolstoi is one of the greatest lighters living and may decide, even against his desire to remain among the peasants he loves. to submit to expa- tristion,
 It has been canon of faith with the Romanoffs to love and protect Tolstoi even if his doctrines were opposed to the principles of the dynasty.
 It Is probably due to this feeling that Tolstoi has lived so long to give the world the fruits of his genius.

A Wonderful Advocate.

Senator Hoar in July Scribner's.
 I heard Rufus Choate a great >Inany times. I heard nearly all the speeches given in Browns Life;" and I heard him a great many times at the bar, both before juries and the full court. He is the only advocate ever heard who had the imperial power which would subdue an unwilling and hostile jury His power over them seemed like the fascination of a bird by a snakeo .
 Choate's method was pure persuasion. never appealed to base motives, nor tried to awaken coarse prejudices or stormy passions. He indulged in no in- vective. His wit and sarcasm and ridicule amused the victim almost as much as 1t amused the. bystsnder. He had the suaviloquentia which Cicero attributes to Cornelius. There was never hsrsh note In his speech. -
 He had voice without any gru6 or any shrill tones. It1was ike a sweet, vet powerful flute He never strained 1t or seemed to exert 1t to it's fullest capacity. I. do not know any other public speaker whose style resembled his in the leAat. Perhaps Jeremy Tay- Tor was his model, if he had any model. The phraseology with which he cloth ed some commonplace or mean thought or fact, when he was compelled to use commonplace arguments. or to tell some common story. kept his auditors ever alert and expectant. An Irishman who had killed his wife, threw away the ax with which Choate claimed the deed was done when he heard somebody coming. This. in choates language, was the sudden and frantic ejacula- tion of the ax." Indeed his speech was a. perpetual surprise. Whether you liked him or disliked him, you gave him your ears, erect and intent. He used manuscript a great deal even in speaking to juries. When a trial was on, lasting days or weeks, he kept pen, ink and paper at hand in his bed- room. and would often get up in the middle of the night to write down thoughts that came to him as he lay in bed. He was always careful to keen warm. It was said he prepared for a great jury argument by taking of eight great coats and drinking eight cups of green tea.

 Lamp Explosion the Cause.

About 12 o'clock yesterday an alarm was sent in from the northeast corner of Perry and Adams Streess. No signs of fire could be discovered at first, but later 1t was found to be in the vacant lot on the corner and was caused by the explosion of a lamp. In hastily throwing the lamp out of a window, the owner had his hands slightly scorched and his clothing filled with the hot oil, but as all kinds of oil, grease and paint are cleaned out by Holt's Dye Works. to stay out, the damage was easily repaired. adv.

TIE TIDAL WAVE.
Natives Believe It Due to Submarine
ssaga Volcano Off Coast.

The Mauna Loa which arrived yester-
day brought further particulars as to the
tidal wave reported from Kailua last
week The wave seems to have been
general along the Kona coast of Hawaii,
but strangely Il was not observed along
the Kau or Kohala coast. The peculiar
ity most noticeable was in the movement
of the wave, it first being noted at Kai-
lua, and then at Keauhou, Napoopoo and
Hookena, in quick succession.
The prevalent opinion among the ma
tives Is that the wave was caused by
submarine volcanic action near to the
shores of the island, instead of by an
earthquake on As.atic shores, as at first
suggested. The wave proper was pre-
ceded by unusually high water, and when
the tide had apparently about reached
it's limit and seemed about to recede, the
tidal wav came up, being announced by
an enormous breaker which rolled twen-
ty-five feet further up the beach than
usual before going to pieces. The wave
followed, the water sweeping up and in
undating several native huts and reach
ing Hackfeld's store. There were three
waves in all before the water began to
recede, which it did with great rapidity.
Observations show that the wave trav-
eled along the coast from Kailua to
Hookena, distance of twenty miles in
about fifteen minutes. The natives be-
lieve there Is submarine crater near
the island

THE AFFAIRS OF
GEAR & LANSING
The Assignees Will Issue First and
Second Mortgage
Bonds.

The Advertisers story of the con-
cfusion reached in regard to the af-
fairs of Gear & Lansing excited much
interest yesterday. AS usual in such
cases mild attempt at denial-with-
out particularS-was made, but that
counted for little. 1t is usual in Homo
lulu to dispute every news item that
interested parties did not want pub
lished, and the nearer to the truth the
item is, the more readily it Is chal-
lenged. However, the fact remains,
precisely as the Advertiser said, that
the business Of Gear & Lansing is to
be turned over to three trustees and
that the arrangement is satisfactory to
the creditors. AS to the item that a
demand had been made upon the per-
sonal property of the members of the
firm, this journal did not state it as a
fact but as street rumor which was
treated with reticence by the parties
at interest. The only answer from an
authoritative source the Advertiser
could get was: TT is not squfte that"
Yesterday brought further develop
ments. It appears that, on the books,
the firm is solvent. but that, on the
market, it cannot realize on it's assets.
The property of the firm is appraised
at 1851 ,357.S0 and the liabilities are $751;
50209, leaving Gear & Lansing 100000
to the good providing what they have
can be sold for the sum which the trus-
tees think it ought to bring. The Sc
cured claims amount to 100000. This
leaves little over 100000 out in the
cold. The trustees to whom assign
lnent will be made propose to issue
first and second mortgage bonds. The
former will go to secured creditors In
exchange for their present mortgages;
and the latter to the unsecured creditors
in return for their notes or other evil
dences of debt. The assignees Will
then market the Gear & Lansing hold
ings. applying the returns to the liqui-
dation of the bonds. If the market gets
into healthy state everybody will be
paid off and the field will be open for
Gear & Lansing, untrammeled by trus-
tees. to go ahead

A JAPANESE
USED HIS KNIFE
A Bloodletting ARRAY Between
Two Asiatics Near Eva
Plantation.

Last night between half-past s and
Waipahu, near EVA, in which a Chinese
proprietor of restaurant was cut in
several places on one of his arms by
Japanese customer named Sakaroda.
From what could be learned of the
affair over the telephone, Sakaroda
went into the Chinese establishment
and ordered plate of soup. The steam
ing liquid was placed before the Jap
anese, who made 1nroads into it at once
and soon finished it. He then asked for
another, which. for some reason, the
proprietor refused to furnish. An al
tercation began which terminated in
the Japanese assaulting the Chinese,
ard the Chinese-Japanese war on a
small scale ensued. A number of
fl ends of the proprietor rushed to his
assistance and the doughty Japanese
was soon the under dog in the fight and
Celestials eased up on him, Sakaroda
brought knife into play. with which
he proceeded to carve the anatomy Of
the owner. He succeeded in making
several slashes on one of his arms and
would undoubtedly have inflicted Sc
rious wounds had not the bystanders
interfered. Deputy Sheriff Fernandes
was sent for. Upon his arrival the
Japanese was placed under arrest and
taken to Eva in custody.

GREAT MORTALITY
AMONG INFANTS
They Supply the Majority Of
Deaths in the Months
Record.

Mr.. Fred. Weed of the Williams un-
dertaking establishment stated last
night that there has been a fearful in
crease in the death rate of infants
within the past month or so.
"Out of every five Deaths" said he,
1.-The average is at least three infants,
under two years old. We have had a
remarkable number of infant burials,
and on some days we have buried as
many as four. I do not know what is
the cause of it; perhaps 1t is the heat,
or perhaps the condition of the water
at this time of the year is accountable.
AT any rate the number of deaths
among the little ones has been appall-
ing the past two months. They are
mostly Hawaiians.'

ATHLETES WILL
DANCE AND SING
So Decided at a Meeting of the
.-- ..-- Honolulu Athletic Club Held
Last Night.

A meeting of the trustees of the Ho-
nolulu Athletic Club took place last
night at the clubs headquarters. Quite
a number were present and much en-
thusiasm was manifested throughout
the meeting.
A letter was read from the Maui Ath-
letic Association stating that the new
grounds and club house were well on
the Nay toward completion and ex-
pressing a desire on the part of the
Mauiites to play a series of baseball
games with the Honolulu Athletic Club
nine here and on Maui.
1t was decided to reduce the initiation
fee of the club from IS to $3.50 until the
first of January. This was done with
the idea of increasing the membership
roll as much as possible.
The club will give a concert and
dance in Progress Hall on August 31st.
The proceeds of the entertainment will
go to swell the club funds.
The Honolulu Athletic Club will prob
ably call meeting of the various foot
ball clubs in the near future for the
purpose of discussing the question of a
league.

DUEL THAT WAS
INTERRUPTED
japanese Anatomy Carvers Who
lA Went to Kakaako
Beach.

An excited group of japanese, head
ed by two countrymen, who were more
excited than the others, marched down
through Kakaako yesterday afternoon
in the direction of the Union Feed
warehouses. Before Kakaako was left
behind about half the population of
that crowded district was at the heels
of the group. A horseman detached
himself from the group and galloped
down the road. AS he approached the
Union warehouses he waved his arms
excitedly, and calling out to Frank
Vida said that a duel between two
Japanese was about to take place on
the beach. He supplemented this by
stating that 1t was to be a duel to the
death, and that both duellists were
provided with long knives with which
they had vowed to carve each other In
to shredS in order that their honor
might be satisfied. The horseman gal
loped back to the group which by this
time numbered about four score peo-
pie, all seemingly talking at once.
The would-be duellists showed evil
dences of having tried the manly art
of offense on each other. Their ply
siognomies were knuckie marked, and
lllt-ii eyes Siediueo Will elelHdl HdlTeu
The news that the duel was to take
place spread like wildfire and brought
more people of the district to the
scene, likewise a police officer. The lat
ter descended upon the crowd, and be-
fore the duellists had an opportunity
to WELD the weapons which the
horseman said were in their possession,
they were pounced upon and placed
under arrest. Handouts were placed
upon their wrists and they were thus
marched to the police station.
