KNOX
STRUCK IN A CAFE

PHILADELPHIA, August 7.-The
North American" tomorrow will print
this dispatch:
ATLANTIC CITY, August 7-Attorney-
General Knox was the victim of an at
tack here late tonight in the cafe of
hotel. The cause of the assault on Mr..
Knox was his attitude against the trusts.
His assailants We're Charles 4. Schoen,
the multi-millionaire of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg; Theodore Cramp, the Philadel-
phia shipbuilder, and Mr.. Stevenson,
also well known in Philadelphia.
To make clear the dramatic features of
this impetuous argument it is necessary
to go back little. The place OF its oc-
currenCc was n certain arstocratlc hotel
The time was 1880 o'clock tonight, In
the cafe annex a rustic little nook ad-
joining the cafe was a table of eight
covers. all of which We're occupied. The
central figure at this table was Attorney
General Knox. Seated with him Were
three other men and four women. Mr..
Knox and his party Were well along with
their repast when a carriage drove up to
the hotel. Three men alighted. Charles
r. Schoen and Theodire Cramp We're
members of the party. The third was
their way into the cafe annex and took
seats at a small table under mellow
inCandesCent light Presently the head
waiter leaned over the table at which
MIR. Schoen, MIR. Cramp and Mr.. Steven
son were seated and requested them TO
lower their voices. Thercupon the men
joined in an apology, and for the hrst
time they took Cogni2ance of the presence
of Attorney-General Knox and his party.
Again came a quiet appeal from the
waiter that they should not talk so loud
Again an apology was sent to the party
at Attorney General Knox table and for
/ a few minutes the loud talk was sup
pressed A moment later rather small
man in evening dress leaned over the
I table where MIR. Schoen and his friends
Were seated and requested that they re-
frain from further Objectionable remarks
That man was Attorney General Knox
Then came a blow. 1t was struck by Mr.
Cramp and landed fairly on the belt OF
the Attorney General, who found himself
opposed to three men, all much larger
and heavier than he. The blow staggere,
him back against the wall.
At that moment half dozen waiter:
rushed up. The head waiter seized Mr.
Cramp from behind, pinioning his arms
Another grappled with Mr. Stevenson an'
dragged him out OF the struggle. Other
took hold Of Mr.. Schoen. Mr., Knox wa
speedily surrounded by his friends an'
the party retired from the cafe and wer
y driven away to their hotel. The blow
Mr. Knox received from Mr.. Cramp stun
ned him for a moment but he quickl!

GERMAN CAPITAL
FOR USE IN SAMOA

Lieut.. Richard Deeken, late of the
German Army, who is now stopping
with his wife at the Moana Hotel, goes
to Samoa on the Sierra where he will
open up a cacao and vanilla plantation
for the German-Samoa Company, Ltd,
of which he is manager. Lieut.. Deeken
was in Honolulu for four months two
years ago. At that time he had just
returned from an extensive tour of the
South Sea Islands. This company was
organized to open up a plantation in
German Samoa after he had made his
report of the possibilities of the coun-
try.
The company has secured a tract OF
1000 acres. 1t will import 300 Chinese
plantation laborers on three-year con-
tracts direct from China. Cacao trees
will be imported from Ceylon and va
nilla trees from Tahiti. Lieut.. Deeken
says that this kind of plantation is
particularly well adapted to Samoan
conditions. The company was formed
in Berlin, but Mr.. G.. Kunst of Waikiki
is the heaviest shareholder in the ven-
ture. Two other companies are now
working similar plantations in German
Samoa. The new plantation will begin
work on the first of October.
Manager Deeken says that many peo-
pie imagine that Samoa is small gold
mine but he considers 1t useless for
anyone to go there without plenty of
capital. He says that it is necessary
to use Chinese labor as the Samoan ma
tives cannot be depended on for plan
tation work.

To Be Depended On
Because 1t Is the Experience
of IL Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
vestigated

A stranger lost in a large city would
place far more dependence. on the di-
rections given him by local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse-
quence of experience; it's like a ship
in a strange port-a trusty pilot fami-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at a
distant point because we can't investi-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for tbs
an easy matter to prove it. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. w. +. Williams of this city, is a
lighthouse keeper and he has held this
position for the last 30 years. He says:
81 was for a number of years, one of
that numerous army Of people who
suffer with their backs Mine ached
and panied me to no small extent, so
that l was glad when l heard of a rem
edy for it, Doans Backache Kidney
Pills. / obained some of these at the
j ollister Drug Co.'S store, and took
item. They gave me great relief, and
l make this short narration of my eX-
perienceS for the benefit of others who
perhaps do not know that nearly all
backache arises from the kidneys, and
the best medicine for it is Doan's Back

All the trend OF politics, as gathered
in the gossip that centers in Washing
ton, point to a big Republican year.
The Republican leaders seem to be alb
solutely confident that they can not be
beaten at the polls In November. or
course many campaigns have been lost
in the past from confidence OF TINS
character. bul the Democrats are so
badly demoraliZed everywhere ana are
putting so little heart into the fight
that only one outcome seems possible.
Mr.. Bryan is discouraging what little
hope the Democrats had by talking
free silver with renewed vlgor and
while he has declared anew that he Is
not a candidate for the denomination in
1904 he takes up the role of party leader
and adviser. in which role he Is decid-
edly strong because OF the immense fol-
lowing that he still has. The strength
of this Bryan following has surprised
the Democratic politicians in many
localities this year.
Nothing but favorable news of the
Hawaiian cable project is heard here
in Washington. The most authentic
statements assure that the laying of
the cable will proceed as originally
planned Notwithstanding the death of
Mr.. Mackay.

THE INSURANCE TAX
Recent Supreme Court Decision
Makes Companies
''Sit Up"

Springfield. Ills. May 23.-EXamina-
ton of the Illinois supreme court de-
ciSiOn declaring the per cent. inSur-
ance law unconstitutional has devel-
Oped an unpleasant surprise for the in
surance companies. The court holds
that when the per cent. statute was
enacted it repealed no other law. This
applies to the act of 1879, which re-
QuireS that insurance companies shall
pay into the treasures of towns where
there are organized fire departments ,
per cent. of gross premiums. In addi-
ton to this they must submit their pre-
miumS to the assessor TO be taxed as
personal property.
As n result it is claimed that the
insurance companies will pay about
twice as much taxes as when the =
per cent. law was in force The result
is that foreign Insurance companies Ii
cenSedin Illinois are protesting against
the tax laws now in effect and are
planning to bring the issue before the
next legislature, with the object of
securing relief. Under existing laws
all foreign insurance companies are
doubly taxed on large proportion of
their premiums and it is to this that
they object.

PHILIPPINE POLICY
ASSAILED BY HOAR
Venerable Massachusetts Statesman Declares
United States Action There
Base.
OPENS A GRAVE FOR INDEPENDENCE
Sharp Arrangement of Gen. Funston For His
Methods of Capturing
Aguinado.

Washington. May 23.-A notable
contribution tC the discussion OF the
Philippine question was made I'm the
senate yesterday by Hoar of AIassa-
chusetts. When the venerable senator
began TO speak every senator in the
building was in his seat, and for the
two hours and half his address con-
Sumed he wac accorded the most care
full attention. HOar denounced the at
titude of the government I'm the Phil
ippines as one of the most wicked and
foolish chapters in United States his
tory. He urged that the United States
should withdraw from the Philippines
and permit the people there to erect
their own government. as had been
done I'm Cuba.
He sharply arraigned General FunS-
ton for the methods he pursued in
the capture Of AguinaldO. and init
mated strongly that had the senate
been aware of the facts Funston
might not have been confirmed in HIS
recent promotion. In view. however.
of the fact that General Macarthur
had voluntarily shOuldered everything
connected with that capture HOar
seemed inclined to be easy on Funston
sud throw his blame on Macarthur.
Grave of Independence
He declared we were digging the
grave of the Declaration of Jndepen-
dence. and antagOniZed the proposition
that Jefferson began to dig that grave
when lie bought Louisiana and its peO-
pie without asking them anything
about IT, and that II was dug deeper
and wider in 1861 when we refused TO
let the '-erring sisters depart in peace"
He hoped that better counsels would
yet prevail. and that this government
would leave the PHILIPPINES.

Judge Defines the Rights of Each Party to
"a Labor Struggle.
Tarrant refused TO comply with the
demand. and Aug 3 Ireland ordered
the union machiniStS to leave the shop.
Fourteen Of them at once Obeyed this
order. His shop from that time until
the filing Of the bill for an injunction
was picketed by union men and by
men employed by them. Tarrant set
up in his bill many specific acts al
legged to have been done by the union
machiniSts to the financial injury OF
his business. Numerous affidavitS We're
also filed by men who asserted that
they had been threatened and intimi-
dated by the strikers.
The appellate court adopts Judge
Chetlain's conclusions of law in re-
gard to the case They are in part as
follows: THE right of workingmen to
organize and combine for their own
protection is no longer an open QueS-
ton. They may individually or col
lectively quit work of an employer and
use all peaceable means to induce
other workmen to quit. even though
the works of the employer in cOnse-
quence be closed down and loss en-
sue.
THE law accords to capital the
right lawfully to combine TO get for
itself as much rs il can. 1t accOrds TO
labor the same right. In the determi-
nation of what is best for its own
protection the law must give both cap
ital and labor n broad field for action.
While the law recognizes the right of
lawful organization and combination.
it al=o guarantees and protects the
right Of every man to his own labor.
the absolute right to work for any
employer he may see fit. On the other
hand. the right of the employer to car
ry on his business In a lawful way,
according to his own choice and judg-
ment. to do and contract to do what
ever work he sees fit, is equally well
founded.
'Workmen may use the streets and
highways in a manner not incOnsis-
tent with public travel for the purpose
Of entreaty. inducement and peace
able persuasion in good faith, and
patrol picket may not necessarily I'M
ply force or threat of bodily harm:
but to accomplish their purpose they

lawful conduct"
In. voicing the opinion of the re-
viewing court Judge Rall says in con-
clusion: Upon the facts as found the
