There should be strict enquiry into
the conduct of the boatmen at Lahaina
landing. If it can be proved that these
men demanded double fare and threat
ened to upset the boat if they were not
paid, through which action a japanese
is alleged to have lost his life and the
whole boat load of passengers was en-
dangered, the boats crew should GER
tainly be punished. Years ago the La
haina boatmen were celebrated for
their skill, and one felt safe with them
in any weather. They were men who
had been engaged in whaling and had
an excellent knowledge of how to han
die boat. But the old race of Laha-
ina bOatmen has passed away, and the
present generation cannot claim any
extraordinary skill in the management
of whale boats. There is another phase
of the matter and that is that the
steamers should land their own passen-
gers and should not force passengers
into boats belonging to private parties,
where an extra fare is charged for go
ing ashore. The whole incident will
bear very thorough investigation, and
since the Japanese passengers have
applied to their consul and the Jap
.anese government has a strict eye over
its subjects, wherever they may be,
this incident is5likely to be thoroughly
looked into. 7g 'fA''.

The divorce mill is bringing out some
sensa tional cases. Divorces like every
thing else human seem to go in cycles.
There come a crop of divorces, and
then there is a lull, and once more the
number increases till a eliminating
point is reached, and the number dies
down. Suicides fiuctuate in the same
way, and also the method of suicide has
its fluctuations. A study and tabula-
tion of statistics bring out these points,
and may eventually give clue to the
law which governs human actions.

The Japanese fire claims will have
strong pull made for them in Washing
ton. The gentlemen who went forward
TO Japan upon this mission acted with
great common sense, and in this SHOW
ed a marked contrast to Delegate Will
cox and men of his stripe. WilcoXism
charged the Board of Health and the
missionaries" with burning down Chi
natown for the direct purpose of rem
dering the poor homeless. This was
another Of those charges which carry
their own refutation with them, but
which nevertheless the ignorant are
persuaded to believe by the manutac-
turers of falsehoods
The Japanese, however, believe no
such thing. They recognize the neces-
sity that there was to take sharp
measures against the plague, and the!
recognize that the sanitary fires got
beyond the control of the authorities,
through no fault Of their own FROM
this point Of view they do not argue
They have acquiesced in the AWARDS
granted, and have understood the stu
alton completely. They understood
moreover that the Territory has no
means to quickly liquidate the awards

phrase or embroidered with supposed
motives, but merely clear statement
of facts. The japanese government
has promptly ordered the counsel at

to proceed to Honolulu in order to
gather information, and to satisfy him
self by actual investigation as to the
Justice of these claims. Armed with
facts he will press the claims before
Congress.
1t will be recalled that Delegate VIII
cox, on his return from Washington,
stated here that the fire claims were
utterly unjust and that he did not care
to press them. Since then he has
changed his tune and has said that the
presence of Mr.. Pratt in Washington
prevented his obtaining the money, be-
cause Mr.. Pratt ignored him. Since
then Mr. Pratt has made his report
and published his correspondence,
showing that he at once put himself in
communication with the Delegate and
was anxious to work with him.
Mr.. Pratt, in spite of the Dolesat les
apathy worry nearly succeeded in get
ting the claims paid. Had Delegate
Wilcox remained in Washington and
assisted Mr.. Pratt on the floor of the
House, the money might have been
forthcoming. The Japanese govern
ment intend to work on similar lines
to Mr.. Pratt, and the probability is,
that with the information already sup
piled and that advanced by D. w. Stew
ems, the counsel to the Japanese lega-
ton, the money will be made available.
The maxim of ibis dat qui otto dat
he gives twice who gives quickly, will
be brought to bear as well as the
facts in the case.

old Dad" and then Iushes into the
fight the big bay horse, topped by the
big, fierce man, with his black beard,
and all is over but the shouting.
Enlisted men returned from service
in the islands tell all sorts of little
stories of Gen. Wheaton. For instance,
there was the night after the landing
at San Fabian. Six gunboats, says the
Chicago Tribune, had gone down the
coast to cover the landing of Il lot Of
men under Gen. Wheaton, who were
loaded on "A couple Of army transports.
While the gunboats shelled the town
Wheaton got his men into launches
and other small boats and waited for
the first chance to get ashore. Once or
twice his eagerness led him to push
ahead within range of the gunboats'
fire, and each time he had to face about
and retire, much to the amusement of
the men, bobbing about on the swell in
their little boats. Finally the party
landed, under hot fire from the insur-
gents. and rushed the town. After
pickets had been thrown out and all
x
against night attack. Gen. Wheaton
started to turn in, with the idea Of
catching a few hours sleep. He and
his orderly went into native house
on the square and opened the door
leading into the corner room. AS they
did so a couple of privates, who had
already lain down to sleep on the floor,
rose speedily, came to attention, sa-
luted and started to leave the room.
"Here you!" roared "Old Dad" in his
terrifying voice, you boys need sleep
just as much as do. Lie down again
and go to sleep"
SO the commanding general and a
couple of privates went to sleep side
by side on the floor. But early in the
morning. before any one else was
awake, Gen. Wheaton got up and went
out all alone on a accommodating tour.
He closed the door, and it locked be-
hind him with a spring lock. Several
times during the night stragglers had
come pounding on the door, and had
been ordered away by the somewhat
sulphuric orderly. 1t happened that
the orderly had just got into a sound
sleep when the general returned and
knocked for admission. The orderly,
who had no idea that Gen. Wheaton had
gone out, woke up hot and angry.
With all the resources of his pic
turesque vocabulary he cursed the
man who had disturbed him ana or.-
dered him to go eway under awful pen
alties. "Now, you clear out of here
and let us sleep, or I'll come out and
kick your head Oft" he roared.
"All right, sergeant" sounded the
deep voice of "Old Dad, "alI right, III

SOLDIERS LIKE HIM.
Gen. Lloyd Wheaton Is Simply Idol
lied bv His Men.
All Sorts of Pleasant Little Stories
Are Told About His Courage and
Consideration of Priyates'
Comfort.

Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, whose frank
ness in expressing his opinions has
stirred up a number of senatorial crit
les, will not ask for defenders. Prac-
tically without exception the men who
have served under him, whom they
fondly call Dad" Wheaton, would
fight for him to the last ditch against
any odds. Even among the general OF
fcers of the United States army, in-
cluding so many men of dauntless cour-
age and splendid character, there are
few who rank with Wheaton in person
al popularity among the enlisted men.
In appearance he is the ideal soldier,
tall and straight as pine tree. His
thick hair is jet black and the lower
part of his face is covered with black
beard, set off by a pair of long and
fercely-pointed black mustaches. On
horseback especially he looks the part
of pirate king and his voice is a deep
bass of tremendous power that can
be heard at great distances.
1t is a favorite joke with the soldiers
in the islands that "Old Dad" neo<s no
staff, because he can make himself
heard half mile without straining
himself. Most endearing of all, from
the standpoint of the common soldier,
Gen. Wheaton never spares himself,

Even his presence is inspiring. In
many a hot skirmish. when the men
have become tired and scattered, his
tremendous voice, believing in the dis
tance, has had the effect of trumpet
call or the arrival of a regiment of re-
endorsements.

TO MAKE A DOG COUNT.
The Owner Of Il Scotch Collie E1-
plains How the Thing May lie
Accomplished.

Noting the profound interest dis
played in the tricks of a Scotch Col
lie dog known as Bozzie H., and the
interesting account of the demon
strations of her powers so honestly
set forth in the columns of the Trib-
une, | make bold to give my analysis
of the phenomenal cropping out OF
canine intelligence in this certain
species, writes F. c. Reighter, of Chi
cago, to the editor of the Tribune.
In August of last year | purchased
a Collie puppy, then three months
old, whose pedigree could not be
compared with any of the baser met
ais, but was Of the pure gold
stripe, whose mother was Fanny Cla-
SOD, and whose grandmother was
BoZzie L., and, thinking that perhaps
the same degree of intelligence
might be innate with this puppy as
of its ancestors, | set about at once
to develop, if possible, whatever pow
ers she possessed. The first thing !
did was to secure her strict atten-

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
show Results beyond Belief.

Regina, Assineboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way in a
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
well posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply a matter
of opinion, in which mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their.
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for,
they represent a compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De
partment is organizing a system of
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage. will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount

Now you can readily see that
slight motion of the foot. a slight

opening and closing the hand, and
many other unnoticelble signs could
be substituted and used to cause the

it appear that the animal actually
does read the mind in many in
stances. But the key to it all is in
the key words, tell me" and chow

starts the dog to barking, or look
will sometimes cause the animal to

OF course, I do not wish to be mis-

particular trick" cxempliiies a high
order of canine intelligence, brought
about by a long line of ancestors
whose constant companion was man
