Prince Henry at Home.

Prince Henry's trip has been allowed TO

While the papers give much space to
all kinds of dull subjects the Princes

GEARVILLE
AGAIN
RAIDED

Gearville was raided again last night
by the police. with the result that three
Porto Rican girls and three men, two
OF the latter japanese and one eolored,
were taken from three different rooms

with a detachment of men. surrounded
one of the houses, where lights were
seen burning. and. after satisfying
themselves that three rooms were oc-
cupied for unlawful purposes. entrance
was quietly demanded. The police were
the last persons expected by those in
the rooms. for when the doors were
unlocked and opened, the notorious
place was found in full blast. One of
the japanese did not fancy being plac-
ed under arrest. and put up a fight
with the special officer who attempted
to take him. There was lively scrap
for about five minutes, which ended
about ten feet away from the barracks,
the officer finally subduing the pug
nacious little Jap. The patrol wagon
was sent for and the prisoners con-
veyed to the station, where all were
bailed out later in the night, with the
exception of the colored man, who is
a cavalry soldier on board the trans
port Meade. The two Japanese are
with the steamship America
Maru. The prisoners were booked as
follows: Satow, Leonora, Susukik,
Olivia Livert, Alice Delgado and j. c.
Singleton.
The girls were quite reticent at the
police station. Questioned as to whom
they paid their rent money. one of the
girls stated they paid directly to Jap
anese, who in turn made a settlement
with "haole." When asked for a de-
scription of the ''haoie." the girl said
he was a tall, large man, with point
ed. short beard.

Bill to Pass Either Branch
OF Congress.
The Question of Who Will Get the Seianioraae
Leads to an Amusing Controversy
Between Statesmen.

any mint of the United States under the
provisions OF this act"
The wrangling was amusing at times,
as Senator Allison insisted that the
Hawaiian government would be the
beneficiary of this seignorage and SEN
ator Foraker insisted that the United
States would be the beneficiary.
Senator Platt of Conn, first explain
ed how the difference would come in
and Mr.. Allison supplanted his state
ment by saying that the subsidiary
coins are worth ten per cent less than
the standard coins or dollars.
Senator Foraker explained that all
the Hawaiian coins were to be coined
into subsidiary pieces, or less than
dollars, as the Hawaiians did not care
for any more silver dollars, having
great many of the silver dollars of the
United States in circulation out there.
They did need more subsidiary coins.
Senator'S Allison and Foraker Joined
in their Interpretation of the benefit
that would arise from seignorage. They
dragged in the case of Porto Rico,
which Mr.. Foraker said was the same,
and which Mr.. Allison said wasn't the
same. 1t had been made to appear
that there were only few Hawaiian
silver dollars in circulation, but Sena-
tor CNllom, of ILL.,, finally got copy of
the report of the Hawaiian Commission,
reading therefrom a statement of the
amount of coinage. This showed that
there were 100000 silver dollars of the
Hawaiian issue. Yhereupon Mr.. Alli-
son went after his amendment fiercer
than ever. Mr.. Foraker explained that
no one knew how many of these silver
dollars were now in circulation Of how
many of them would be brought in for
redemption.
Getting down to a more concrete ex-
plantations Mr.. Allison wrestled with
the arithmetical problem. He wanted
to demonstrate so that a man running
could read that under the provisions of
the bill the Territorial government
would benefit ten cents on every Ha-
waiian silver dollar coined into subsid-
iary coins.
IF we take a silver dollar from a
man." said Mr.. Allison. II submit
whether we are not fulfilling our obli-
cation when we coin that into new
money and give him two half dollars or
four quarters.
Mr.. Foraker insisted that we were
giving him two half dollars or four
quarters. worth only ninety cents as
compared with the standard silver dol
lar.
That Is a beautiful story half told
rejoined Mr.. Allison.
"a silver dollar contains 4121e grains
of silver. 900 fine" interposed Senator
Teller. "and I suppose if IL is melted up
ii will be, of course, in the same reia-
tive proportion. When you take two
half dollars out you have 3S4 grains
The difference between that and 412A
grains is what the Senator is calling
the seignorage."
Then Mr.. Teller questioned whether
the United States Government ought to
put this seignorage, taken from the Ha-
waiians, in it's own treasury, but Mr..
Allison said it was only matter of
500 900 and he questioned sarcastically
whether this money ought to be given

Miles May Have to Go.

WASHINGTON, March 81. - The
statements made yesterday by General
Miles before the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs were discussed by the
President today with a number of his
callers. There is little doubt that
these statements will ultimately lead
to General Miles retirement by the
President. In discussing the matter
today with his callers. among whom
were Senators and Representatives, the
President took the position that the
Lieutenant General should entertain
toward his superiors the same respect
that he would expect and demand from
his subordinates.

Especial to The Advertiser.)


WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 15-
! The first important bill for Hawaii tc
pass either branch of Congress this ses-
sion is that relating to silver coinage
1t was called up in the Senate by Mr.
Foraker. chairman of the committee
!, on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico,
March IL, and passed with slight modi-
fications. Some weeks ago the bill was
favorably reported to the House by the
Committee on Coinage, Weights and
doubt that the bill. which is the one
drawn by Mr.. William Haywood, will
become law before Congress adjourns.
This bill was introduced in the House
by Representative Hill OF Conn, and in
the Senate by Mr.. Foraker. 1 have al
ready sent the notifications made by
the House committee. The Senate
committee made only one change in the
bill. as introduced by Mr.. Foraker, and
that was in section where. as intro
uary 1, 1904. no more of the Hawaiian
silver shall be redeemed by the Govern
ment and it shall be unlawful to circu-
late the same as money. The commit
tee extended this limit to January 1,
1905. The report on the bill was very
brief, making only a few printed lines.
By unanimous consent the Senate
agreed to consider the measure, and
forthwith passed the amendment Mr..
Teller. of Colorado, inquired what was
the object of making it crime to cir
culate the Hawaiian coins after a GER
tain date. and Mr.. Foraker responded
that IL was for the purpose OF getting
all these coins redeemed. There are
very few of them in circulation" add
ed Senator Foraker. Most OF those is
sued have already been taken up" The
Senator added that the aggregate of
silver in circulation in Hawaii was on
ly about 100000.
There were other inquiries about the
denominations of the coins and the his
tory of their coinage. Senator Platt. of
Connecticut, being one OF the question
ers. Senator Teller made some objec-
ton 10 the provision for payment OF the
coins as fast as taken up 'in standard
silver coins OF the United States" He
held that the word standard" was su-
perfluous. and accordingly 1t was omit
ted by vote of the Senate.
In answer to Senator Allison Senator
Foraker said that these Hawaiian coins
were OF the same standard OF fineness
as our coins in the United States. But
the Iowan smelled a rat. he thought.
in the provision about seignorage, and
for over a half hour he pressed his
views home till he secured an amend
ment. striking out section 6. which
reads: That no seignorage, or mint
dues. or charges. shall be made or re-
tanned for the recoinage OF the silver .

Speculation ia And Lands.

The expected has happened in
the speculative entry of arid lands
capable of irrigation by large gov
ernment water storage enterprises.
The National Irrigation and For
estry forces have long forseen that
such would be the case and have
tried to prevent it by providing a
maximum homestead entry Of 40
or at most 80 acres for actual and
useful occupation only.
Great numbers Of homestead en-
tries of 100 acres have been filed
in localities available for water
from proposed Government reser-
voirs. Fortunately the Secretary
of the Interior takes an intelligent
interest in the situation. We are
informed that the entries so far
made on speculative lines in the
arid lands will be held back until
a reasonable general line Of action
has been determined.

A MAN OF HONOR,

Both OF the great political par
ties in their last national conven
tions declared in favor of admit
ting the territories to statehood.
President Roosevelt ran and was
elected upon that platform, but be
refused in his message even to
mention the subject, when one
word from him would have decided
the matter. Every democrat in
the senate stands ready to redeem
their convention pledge, but large
majority of the republican senator's
are ignoring their national platform
pledge and are fighting the omni-
bus bill with all their str ength, not
by fair means but by flibustering,
to gain time, for they know on
a square vote taken now the bill
would pass.
Although large number of the
republican senators care nothing
for the honor Of their party's
pledges, it is refreshing to find
such mon as Senator Quay and his
sixteen republican followers, fight
ing to redeem that pledge and to
do justice TO the people Of the
territories.
On Thursday last when the ON
nibus bill was before congress Mr..
Quay announced that the friends

AWFUL WRECK AVERTED.
TraCkWaIksI'S Presence Of Mind
Saves Lives Of Passengers,

A dastardly attempt to wreck Il
Texas & Pacific passenger train in
lonely cut near Barstow, Texas,
last Monday afternoon was thwart
ed by the timely arrival of a track
walker, says the Ell Paso Times.
Two demons with pick and
crow bar were discovered in their
murderous work of tearing up the
track only short time before the
7 & P passenger train with its
precious load of some ninety five
people, came tearing around "a
curve, where this awful trap of
death had been laid When within
100 yards of him the wreckers saw
the track walker and fled.
The track walker had no time
to follow them, for what met his
gaze when he approached the scene
Of their operations was sufficient
to claim his entire attention.
The human devils had taken up
one rail Of tho track and carefully
concealed t in the side Of the cut,
and were working on the second
when discovered. The work bad
been done with hammer and
bar, as seventeen spikes and
all of the tie plates were pulled up
in releasing the rail.
To make sure Of their hellish
work the would-be murderers had
taken up the rail on the ireman's
side of the track, so that it would
not be noticed by the engineer as
he came tearing through the cut
The cut is on a curve, and to stop
the train while emerging from it
would have been difficult opera
tion anyway.
The astonished track walker
took in the situation hurriedly.
He looked at his watch. 1t was
almost time for the west-bound
passenger train, with it's cargo of
human lives, to appear in sight
Would he try to stop it in the cut?
No; that would never do. So sum-
moning all his strength, he started

delay Quay administered the fol
lowing scathing rebuke:
Gas to the admission Of the
other Territories, Arizona and
New Mexico, that question was
thoroughly considered in the ma
tional conventions Of both parties
and argued out before the Ameri
can people, and it is remarkable, it
is wonderful, that the Senator from
Indiana, Mr.. Beveridge, who was a
delegate in the republican national
convention of 1900, and the sena
tor from Maine, Mr.. Hale, who is
familiar with all that transpired in
this body, and the senator from
Massachusetts, Mr., Lodge, who
presided in that national conven-
ton and put the question on this
resolution for the admission of
these Territories, is not now ready
to proceed to debate the question
and has not made up his mind
whether he was right or not in ad-
vocating and supporting that
measure in that convention. If
the republican party in their plat
form can lie to the people about
the admission of the Territories,
they can lie as to any other pro
position on their platforms and are
unworthy of popular confidence"

The fact that 200 head Of fine
hogs are being driven this week

Clifton clearly demonstrates that
there is something radically wrong
some where. To drive hogs from

Of about 60 miles is an undertak-

But the hogs are raised here and
the market is there, and all pro.

1t is not practicable to transport a
large number of hogs in wagons,
but it does seem that a freight rate
over the railroads should be made

SATURDAY NIGHTS BLAZE.
Prompt Interference Checks Fire in
Cotler's Plum bing Shop.

A quantity of oakum, ignited by the
spark of a candle, produced quite a
scare in the plumbing shop of j. B.
Golfer on Salem avenue, early Satur-
day evening, and so alarmed Mr.. Golfer
that he hurriedly turned in an alarm
from box u, Main street and Salem
avenue. Prompt action on the part
of two of Cotler's neighbors quenched
the fire and put an end to the scare
before the arrival of the hose COM
panies
Mr.. Golfer went to the upper floor
in quest of some article, carrying a
lighted candle. A spark must have
dropped and kndled the oakum for
when Mr Golfer turned to leave he dis
covered the material ablaze. Realizing
that famable stuff like oakum is IA
dangerous factor in a fire, he hastened
to summon the hose companies. In
the meantime, Ulysses Wonacott and
Joseph Powderly hastened from the
laundry few doors away and with a
blanket and a few buckets of water
put the lively blaze out of business.
The damage was triflng.
