KITCHENER AND BOTHA.
No News of Their Having Met, aa
 Reported, at StandertOn.

New York, June 11.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London says:
 The war office authorities say they have received no news of a meeting between Gen. Kitchener and Gen. Bo. tha near Standerton, last Wednesday, and the report of tentative settle ment between the British and Bocr commanders is consequently discred- ited in official quarters. Mrs. Botha's arrival in London has, nevertheless, revived peace rumors to which pub- licity has been given on several occa. sions recently Ii is impossible to say exactly what is gonig on, but the general opinion is that there must be some foundation for the rumors. Mrs. Botha's visit is still shrouded in se- crecy, and although it is frequently said that she is On a peace mission, no definite informat ton on this point is obtainahle at present.
 Consensus of Opinion.
 On the whole, the opinion of the newspapers is that Mrs. Bothas visit to Mir. Kruger can at best eXerclse but an indirect influence upon future peace negotiations so long as the Boers persist in holding out for bet ter terms than were offered at Mid- dleburg. There does not seem the slightest ground for the statement which appeared in the Weekly Dis patch that Mrs. Botha was received on Saturday at the colonial office, then by Lord Roberts, at the war of flee, and afterward by MT. Broderick.
 Meanwhile, the war news continues inconclusive.
 Gen. Blood's operations in the east ern Transyaal have apparently come to an end, and can not be called de- cisive.

NEW s IN BRIEF
Compiled from Various Sources.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

United States Ambassador White, Rt Berlin, attaches great importance to the news that some of the princi- pal German states will drop their double tariff, as he believes this will make the negotiation of the commer- cial treaty between the United States and Germany much more likely.
 On the 7th it was semi-officially an nounced, in Berlin, that it had been decided that the selection of Count Won Waldersee's successor as com mander of the international forces should be left to the commanders of the information forces in China.
 On the 7th Chief Justice Melville w. Fuller of the United States supreme court arrived in Chicago from Wash ington. He declined to discuss for publication any of the national affairs now occupying public attention.
 On the 7th Count Goluchowski, the Austro-IIungarian minister of for eign affairs, informed an Austrian deputation, that the government could not entertain a suggestion of mediation between Great Britain and the Boers, because ''No serious gov ernment would care to undertake mediation after the British govern ment had declared that it would not accept mediation, and that an offer to mediate would be regarded by Great Britain as an unfriendly act.''
 On the 7h Mr. Frederick, the Brit ish war secretary, replying to a q'Ies- tion i1i the house of commons, re- garding the probability of an elrly conclusion of peace in South Africa, reat1irmed that the government would not consent to discuss the future in dependence of the conquered states with the Boers.
 On the 7th Andrew Carnegie signed a deed, in London, transferring $10,- 000,000 in five-per-cent. United States Steel Corporation bonds to trustees for the benefit of the universities of Scotland. The fund becomes imme- diately available. The next install ment of interest can be used for the October term.

POOR PORTO RICO.
Detection of the Islanders under the Oppression of Im-
 perialism.

The news from Porto Rico says that the merchants there are de- iected since they heard that they have no rights under the constitution and can be taxed to suit the pleasure of an American republican congress. One of them says when the Hollander bill comes into full force July l we will be under practically double tax alton. The cheerful news, however, IS given in the same Associated Press dispatch that "Gov. Allen is giving his earnest consideration to the practlca- bility of securing at an early date free trade relations between Porto Rico and Germany" Is that to be the end of our colonial system, free trade with all the world but the United States? But perhaps this is necessary to protect the sugar and tobacco trusts. No wonder the is landers are dejected, but they must cheer up. When the democrats con trol congress they will deal with them more righteously, and the day IS not far distant, or all political signs fail.
 Not William of Germany, Nlch- olas of Russia nor Edward of England has a freer hand in. the ruling of sub feet colonies than has MT. Mckinley. As long as a president can control congress with patronage he can be Q dictator in the colonies. The conse- quent peril is far greater to us than to the Porto Ricans or to the Fili- pinos. When we deny equal rights to any American citizen of the present we lay the foundation for the denial of rights to all American citizens of the future if such denial shall be to the interest of dominant and des- perate party.-St. Louis Repl siic.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
The Cream Pie Question.

Edward Harrington, head waiter, and Sam Peters, head cook of a prom inent hotel in TeXarkana, got into dispute as to the proper way to make cream pie. The discussion got so warm that the men used pistols, and Peters was fatally wounded. Meani while the great question remains un- settled. There is no common ground on which any two disputants can stand in regard to the cream pie. It always has been a wild, harum scarum member of the culinary family, amen able to no rules. No scientific formu- las can be applied to it's creation. There are certain fixed, immutable principles that serve as basis for the building of an apple pie, or a peach or gooseberry, and even the mince pie, some of which are teetotalers and some are not; but the cream pie is a law unto itself. In the first place, there is no ''cream" in it. It makes it's way all the time under false pre- lenses. You can never tell the real from the artificial in it. It is as much a fraud, in it's way, as the ''lem- on pies" that were made by cer- tain clever cook out of grated turnips and citric acid. It is a matter of no surprise that such an artificial career as the cream pie has carried on should eventually result, as deception so ire quently results, in bloodshed. At the next national convention of pastry cooks the status of the cream pie should be clearly defined.

HOME RULERS SAY HE is THE
ANNEXATIO-, MAN.
Claim That He Has Gone to California
To Chain Hawaii to Farrellones and
Queer Dole.

The Home Rule mind is a great deal
more disturbed over the rumor of a
movement, or agitation, to annex Ha-
wall to California than appears on the
surface of the House proceedings of
this afternoon. 1t is a fact that both
Representations and Senators believe
in the words of Grover Cleveland, that
the country is facing condition and
not theory" in this regard.
Whether justly or unjustly, the Home
Rulers blame Judge A. S. Humphreys
for the pilkia. They say that he has
gone to California to promote the agl-
tation for the annexation of Hawaii to
that State; they say that his object is
to oust Governor Dole and to ruin, in
asmuch as he could not rule. In his
speech this morning Representative
Makekau said that man was now on
his way to California to encourage the
annexation idea. Asked as to who and
what he meant the House member said
II mean Judge A. S. Humphreys. He
is going over there 30 create senti-
ment in favor of this thing" The
member seemed positive of the matter
He said Humphreys had been of great
value i'm the past to the Home Rulers
as their principal adviser and friend,
but now he had gone off on tangent
entirely at Variance with their ideas
and wishes.
MaKeKau statement was 1OllOWeu UP
among other Home Rulers and was cor
roborated by all. In the Senate the
same understanding exists as In the
House. John Emmeluth says that the
movement for annexation is fully or
ganized and dangerous. 1t was for that
reason that he backed the House reso-
luton of this morning. He says that
the matter is not one to be played with,
and that the resolution is all of oppor-
tune and proper.
Prof. David Starr Jordan is the only
other name prominently mentioned by
the Home Rulers in connection with
what what they regard as this terrible
conspiracy. Feeling among them
against Jordan was at flood tide this
morning, although none of them SEEM
ed able to decipher the yard stick to
down David's sins. Humphreys came
in for the brunt of the blame As
strange as it may appear, too the
Home Rulers had no good word for the
anti-Dole side of the Republican party
which they seem to accuse, almost CO.
equal with Humphreys, of the father
hood of the new cloud on their political
horizon.

TREASURY ORDERS SAID TO BE,
CONFLICTING.
Twelve Chinese on Quarantine Island
Who May Test the Cases of over Zoe
Others.

Twelve Chinese who arrived here
from their native land on the steam
ship China are at quarantine island,
anNiously waiting to learn what is to
be done with them, while several fede-
raj officials are pOndeTiug over whether
to allow them to land or to send them
back. All have custom house certifi-
Gates emitting them to land. but they
arrived here too late 20 register and
the law says that any Chinese In the
country after June IA. who have not
registered are liable 20 deportation.
There has been a serious error some
where in the instructions sent To Ha-
wall by the treasury department. The
orders to internal revenue collector
Chamberlain ana those 70 collector
Stackable do not jibe. and as a result
there Will be contest in the courts
Collector Chamberlain was sent here to
register the Chinese and he and other
federal officials have instructions to
deport all Chinese here now '-~-regis-
tered. At the same time the immigra-
tton bureau has received no order to
cease issuing certificates permitting
Chinese to return in the old way, whe-
ther they had registration certificates
or not. The result is that within the
next year at least 200 Chinese are COM
ing here with federal authority to land,
every one of whom local federal off,
cials are supposed to use every effort
to arrest and deport to China
The treasury department has Just ruI-
ed that it is the fault of the Chinese if
they were not here in time to register,
and that they must take the consequen-
ces. Any Chinese returning here at
this time with a one-year certificate
must have left Hawaii after June ~,
1900 and he had ample opportunity to
apply for registration then. Under
these circumstances the treasury de-
partment takes the position IT is stated
that the Chinese ought to have looked
out for themselves, either by applying
for registration before they left, or by
getting back in time to register.
The Chinese will fight the matter I'm
the courts, however, and those now on
quarantine island will probably furnish
test cases. Acting dstriC, attorney
Dunno is looking up the matter. and
when the time comes for the Chinese to
leave quarantine island they will all
probably be arrested. for deportation
because they have no certificates. Their
time on quarantine island will expire
next Monday

RAILROADS 70 VOLCANO
MUCH NEW ROAD PLANNED ON
HAWAII
Two Companies Considering Extension
of Their Lines to Meet at Kilauea.
Encircling the Island.

The island of Hawaii is to have a
lot of new railroad line if plans now
under discussion are carried out, and
the Volcano Kilauea may be reached by
two different roads. The Kona rail-
way company and the Hilo railroad are
both considering extension of their lines
to the Volcano House. the former from
the Kona side and the latter from HilO.
The new Kona Railway Company has
settled upon it's route through north
and south Kona and Kau. Attorney
Gardner Wilder, who recently returned
from Hawaii, has been working on the
rights of way, and says that the com
pany has secured about all it needs.
The Kona company is the one that
applied for franchise in the legislature
but did not get it because the legisla-
ture hadn't time enough.
The new road will run from Kailua
north through north and south Kona
and Kau to Paauhala. From there ii
may run up to the Volcano house. The
construction of this part of the road
depends upon whether Dillingham; S
Hilo railroad Is extended to the volcano
from the other side. Each road is said
to be willing to build if the other will
do the same, and an agreement will
probably be reached on the matter.
Neither company wants to build with
out being able to make connections
with the other side
The carrying out of the Kona Rail-
way, Hilo railway and the Hilo-Kohala
railway plans will give the Island or
Hawaii a railroad system practically
encirchng the island. The volcano lines
will be scenic roads that will prove very
attractive, and will make the volcano
trip much easier and more pleasant
for tourists.

TREASURER TAXES CHARGE JUNGLE SAM IN ERROR
FINAL END OF POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK.
Transfer to be Made Next Monday-A
Little Over $1,000 to be Paid Out.
Depositors and Pass Books.

The affairs of the Postal Savings
bank will be formally transferred on
July l from the hands of those who
have had the duty of closing it up into
the custody of the Territorial treasurer
Following that it will be the duty of
the treasurer 10 close up the balance
of the accounts, as rapidly as the holds
ers of deposit books can be heard from
This transfer to the treasurer is in con-
formity with the original regulation
which provided that the office should
be regularly kept open for one year
only
Henry Davis, the last head Of the
bank. is already preparing for the
transfer. He has the thousands of
pass books packed in boxes prepara-
tory to removal, and has his books
written up down TO date so that the
treasurer will have no trouble in taxi
ing hold at once and intelligeutly.
The bank has paid back to depositors
the large sum of $754,731.71, figuring, of
course, the sum of nearly 5000, 600 which
was paid back to the order of the
Board of immigration for the return
of Chinese laborers to their homes,
There remains in the hands of Mr..
Davis the sum of $9,S3S.60 still to be
paid to depositors. Unless this is call
ed for by the first of the month il will

ney will be a special deposit and can

1t may be surprising, but II is never
theless a fact, that we have eXperien-
ced great difficulty i'm getting the mo-
ney of the Postal Savings bank back
into the hands of the owners" says
Mr.. Davis. In a large number of
fag hinu b..
the depositors personal letters request
ing them to come down and remove
their money, With all the statements
in the papers and the announcements
made by the government in regard to
the matter the depositors would come
i'm and say: Why / didn't know you
were closing up the Postal Savings
bank. This is the first | had heard of
it, That is one reason we have not
been able to distribute all the money.
Another reason is that the pass books
of the Postal Savings bank are dis
tributed all over the United States and
are slow in getting here. In looking
over the list ] find two In Porto Rico.
neither of which has been heard from
and | cannot tell when we will be able
to close those accounts"
For many years the Postal Savings
bank occupied a room on the second
floor of the postoffice. A short time
since it was moved to Honolulu Hale,
the old building next to the postoffice,
where most of the work of closing up
the bank has been carried on. The
bank was closed by the United States
government, there being nothing of the
kind in the American system of run
ming things. 1t was a unique institu-
tion. AS all of the deposits were
small, representing chiefly the accounts
of laborino people, more than 10000
pass books were out at the time the
bank ceased business
