that there be nothing lacking in the
records of the case.
THURsToN CASE CALLED.

At the conclusion of the Judges
statement the case of l.. A. Thurston
was called, and Attorney Hartwell
presented the matter as follows:
The matter of L. A. Thurston. If rbe
court please, presents a question of
law, clear cut and impersonaI. There
is no controversy concerning the facis
the facts in substance being that tbe
respondent having certain information
declined to testify, to answer the in,
terrogatories, which would reveal that
information, desiring to go as far as
the law would permit him to go.
1t is not question of compelling
the respondent to answer the fnterroe-
atories. Thus far no order of the
court has been made upon the subject
The question is now presented wheth-
er the court will or will not order the
testimony to be given There is no
possible question of contumacy on the
part of this respondent. He is not in
terested himself at all in the matter.
He has no rights in the matter. 1t is
the question of what is his duty as
counsellor, as a solicitor and as an
attorney at law. The facts show that
he has expressly requested his client
to allow him to make known the infor

of the wealthiest merchants and discov-
cred that he did not know the meaning
of the word newspaper.
In speaking of the treatment of the
Chinese by different nations, the speak
er said that in Germany the Chinese
were not allowed to cut off their queues;
the Germans had imposed fine Of $500
and Imprisonment for cutting OF the
queue; this, he said, was because the
Germans did not want the Chinese to
be on terms of equality, and they wanted
the Chinese to wear their queues as a
mark of inferiority. In other countries
this was not so, and Chinese were allow
ed to cut Off their queues or not, as they
chose.
In Anam, where the French had con-
troll, the Chinese were taxed in very
wrong way Instead of the tax on their
clothes being imposed on the garment,
OF by length measurement, the tax was
imposed by the threads in the cloth. In
America, he said, the Chinese were treat
ed well; they were protected the same
as American citizens, and were not dis
eliminated against, and were allowed
American liberty, which is good for all
people
In closing, Hsii Shih Chin made a
strong appeal to the individual effort of
all present to do what they could to
assist and encourage the education and
reform of the Chinese. By this, he said,
each one could have a part in the great
plan to save China.
He himself was starting on tour of
all countries to seek out the Chinese
wherever they had gone, and to inyesti-
gate their conditions in the aid of the
great reform movement, in which all
hope for the salvation Of China was en-
bodied.
Let us each try to do our best said
he, land see what we can do. Let us
educate ourselves and encourage and
assist our countrymen to do the same;
let US make a. great fight for reform,
and if need be let us sacrifice our lives
for China" (Applause.)
After the applause had subsided, Mr..
H. S. Hsiich was introduced to the au-
dience and made a brief address, which
ELECTED another demonstration of appre-
citation.
I'VE all know" said he, that 1t Is the
Conservatives that spoil our country, and
knowing that, we must try to enlighten
and reform ourselves; We must try to be
different from the Conservatives and to
do this we must do different things than
they do. If we are to be Reformers we
| must make our acts comply with our
name. for good name is not of any use
unless there is good action with it. We

fornia to take a college course at Stan
ford University. The two interesting
passengers attracted a great deal of at
tention on board the steamer, and when
the Picking arrived yesterday a number
of prominent Chinese merchants and
leaders of the Bow Wong Wui Reform
Society were at the wharf to welcome
their distinguished visitors.
Hsi Shih Chin and his young friend
were taken in charge by the welcoming
party and carriages conveyed them to
the home of one of the leaders of the
feted and honored according to the Chi
nese custom, speechmaking and ex-
change of compliments being indulged
in. Yesterday afternoon the party drove
carriages, and the word was given that
the noted leader among the Reformers
in the Orient would speak at the Bow
Wong wui Socety's headquarters in the
evening.
over 200 Chinese, comprising those OF
the better-educated class, had assembled
at the hall at the corner OF River and
Kukm streets at o'clock last night, and
the hall was decorated with flowers and
greens in honor of the guests. At s:1E

appreciation was demonstrated with q

Notice Of the meeting was not given
the Advertiser until a late hour, and an
entire Interpretation of Hsii Shih Cnin's
address could not be obtained, but he
spoke in encouragement of education
and reform, and strongly urged the ne
cessity of adopting the Western civiliza-
ton in order that the Chinese Empire
might be saved. He compared the treat
ment of the Chinese by the various ma
tions during the Boxer troubles and up
to the present, speaking most favorably
of the policy of the Americans, whose
great principle of liberty and freedom.
he said, no people could do better than
to follow. He said that China was in
great misfortune, and that even yet she
is menaced by a thousand perils, but
that the great trouble is within herself;
this trouble, he said, is ignorance, and
with ignorance the lack of patriotic feel
ing, which is the great thing that binds
the people OF nation together and
makes them strong.
In Singapore, where the British infiu-
ence had come to the people, the Chi
nese were patriotic for the british; in a
fight they hoped that the English would
win. and that If England would win they
would rejoice over the victory; If Eng
land would lose, their sorFow anu Ia
ment would be all for England; their
patriotism was all for England, yet II
the Chinese would be defeated in a fight
or entirely erased from the earth, the
English would not make any lament or
have any sorrow for China.
This, he said, came OF the ignorance
and conservatism of the Chinese people.
If they were enlightened and educated
they would grow to be patriotic and
have the feeling of loyalty for their own
) country. In speaking of the ignorance
of the Chinese in various parts of the
empire, Hsii Shih Chin said that in Bur-
NAH, where there were over. three mill
lion people, there were not five that
could read the newspapers. and that
when he was there he had called on one

speeches and addresses complimentary to
the visitors. 1t was not until nearly
within an hour of midnight at which
time the Peking was scheduled to sail,
that the meeting was brought to close.
Hsii Shih Chin and the young student
were then escorted to their carriages
and driven to farewell banquet at the
home of one of the merchants.
A short interview was obtained through
an interpreter by the Advertisers repre-
sentative just before Hsii Shih Chin left
the hall.
II am very grateful said he. Ito the
American newspapers. They have done
much for China: especiahy is this so
since the breaking out of the Boxer war;
all through the trouble the American
newspapers were just and fair, and the
fact that China was the center of hos
tility of all the Powers of the world, did
not blind the Americans in their sense Of
justice. If any nation did wrong the
American papers said SO, and when 9TH
er nations were cruel to the Chinese
they were severely criticized. America
is a great country. Since the time Of
Washington she has kept her people
free and endowed with the blessing OF
liberty, which is the great elevating
principle of a nation and very conducive
to the happiness of the people. I should
like to talk much about the plan to save
China, but I have not the time. My
friends are waiting for me-"
AS a matter of news, the student friend
Of the Reform leader spoke OF a new
organization that had been formed by
the students at Shanghai. There were
when he left about 100 members associat-
ed together for the purpose of working
for the enlightenment Of the Chinese and
encouraging the adoption of Western
civilization. Yen Fook. the most highly
educated Chinese living, is at the head
of the organization, and under his lead
ership the students hope to cooperate

rules or no rules. AT that time a
meeting was called of the taro plant
ers, who, with the single exception Of
this man. all agreed to conforms to the
rules Hutchinson was not present
when the taro was pulled, but 1t was
duly weighed and divided into forty ra-
tions from the product Of the eighteen
patches in question. Hutchinson then
refused to sign the voucher. In his re-
ports Reynolds recommended that the
taro be forfeited.
DR.. Sloggett made the motion that
the regulations be sustained, and the
taro declared forfeit, and E. N. Mott
Smith suggested that sharp letter
from the board would suffice. After
discussion motion was finally carried
that Hutchinson be given an opportu-
nifty of signing the vouchers or losing
the taro. In the matter of load of
paiai having been received at the set
tlement, Reynolds asked for instYuc-
tions as to whether paiai could be
shipped by private parties for q spec
ulation. The superintendent said that
it was an understood rule that q per-
NIT was always required in such cases.
He recommended the landing Of such
cargo, II care was taken that no liquor
or other prescribed articles were con-
cealed In the paiai. The matter was
finally left to the discretion Of the su-
perintendent. The reports Of the Wal
mea Hospital were read, one dated the
14th saying that the cases OF smallpox
were convaiescing, and that the Porto
Rican children would be allowed TO
attend school after a three weeks
quarantine. A second letter dated the
18th, placed a different complenon
upon the matter. One new and wen
marked case Of smallpox IN Ian
tIyanty-four wears old, had occurred
probably through contamination OF
some kind with the person or enects
of the old cases. The head sana OK

nation which he has received, and
that the client refuses to allow him
to do so, and that for reasons not stat
ed, but which could easily be surmis-
ed, I fancy, it would result to the in
jury of the business interests of that
client If that information were now
made known. That is the position in
fact.
Now, 1 do not propose to incur for
myself the censure which I remember
once hearing was given by our famous
Chief Justice Shaw, of the state OF
Massachusetts,, to young lawyer VINO,
after reading law to the Chief Justice
for a considerable time, was finally
told, Young man, this court is pre-
sumed to know some law" I do not
say that if I could secure the whole
of that censure to myself at my time l
might not wish to give cause for IT;
but what I mean is this; do not pro-
pose to read to the court what the
books are full of on the subject, the
rules of law concerning the duties or
counsel to client.

CONFORMITY WITH Law.

Important as the detection of crime
and the punishment OF crime is, 1t IS
still more important that it be done
in conformity with the rules OF law.
For instance, even a man accused OF
murder who has made a confession OF
his guilt to an officer OF justice, II ne
has acted under any inducement OF
threat, is protected from the conse-
quences. That confession is not per
mitted to go before jury unoer such

whole army into horses and they i'm
mediately began to eat grass. The king
was delighted at this because now ne
had enough horses to stock his whole
kingdom, and, besides, he owed the army
two years wages, and now he would
never have to pay them.
All this time the prince had been star
: ing at Mary Emma just as hard as he
could stare, and now he dropped on one
knee and told her he thought she was
the very sweetest girl he had ever seen
and that he would like her to be his
princess at once and for evermore Mary
Emma said that she didn't mind, for she
had always wanted to be a princess, and
the king said they had better hurry up

and he was hungry. So they were mar
ried at once, and then they all decided
That they had better send the fairy god
mother home as fast as she could go, for
fear she would absentmindedly change
them all into something else. The fairy
godmcther was getting homesicn, so she
flew off in a hurry, and all the rest lived
happily ever after.
When the fairy godmother got home
she called convention of all the fairy
godmothers in the world and told them
all about the way she had been treated
They all said it was perfectly shameful
and that they were a very much abused
class of people. Most of them went out
of business right there and then: that IS
why there are so very few fairy god
mothers about today.
