procured the valuables of the guests
from safes and vaults and carried
them to places of greater safety.
The fire originated in seven-story

Passengers Rescued with
Great Difficulty

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Jan. 2S.-In
a fierce blizzard that ragged Sunday
night one of the stages that runs
across the river between here and the
Canadian 500 went through the ice.
John Lebla, the driver, was swept
under the ice with the horses and
sleigh and drowned, while the three
passengers were rescued with great
difficulty.
When about half way across the
river Driver Lebla lost the regular
track owingt the binding snow. Three
of the six passengers became fright
ened and left the sleigh, running be-
hind it. Suddenly the sleigh disap-
peared and from a great hole in the
ice came cries for help from the other
three passengers. The horses, sleigh
and driver went under the ice al
most instantly and were carried away
by the current. The passengers on
the ice threw their fur overcoats to
their companions struggling in the
water and with much difficulty sue
ceeded in getting them out on the solid
ice. The chilled and half-drowned men
were then taken to the hospital.

Department of Commerce and Labor
VIII Control Many Branches OF Cow
ernment Work,

erhment ~OFRs
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nell
sons bill creating department of
commerce, which passed the senate
Tuesday, was amended in various par
ticulars. Probably the most import
ant of the amendments was one
changing the title to read the depart
ment of commerce and labor. 1t pro-
vides for n secretary, who is to be n
member of the cabinet, an assistant
secretary and also the other officials
and clerks necessary. The proposed
department is especially charged
with the collection and distribution
of statistical information and with
the development and fostering CT
foreign and domestic commerce.
In the department there is to be
a new bureau of manufactures, and
many bureaus now included in other
departments are transferred to this
new department, including the life
saving service, the lighthouse service,
the marine hospital service, the
steamboat inspection service and the
bureaus of navigation, of shipping
and of immigration, as well as the
control of the fisheries and the
Chinese exclusion questions, all now
within the jurisdiction of the treas
ury department.; the fish commission
and the census bureau. The depart

PEACE PROPOSALS.
They Arc Made 80 England, ON Behalf
Officers, by EHOIlnud.

London, Jan. 29.-The government
leader, A. j. Balfour, announced in
the house of commons yesterday that
no overtures for peace had been re-
ceived from any one authorized 10
speak in behalf of the Beers. 4 com
munication was, however, received on
Saturday last from the Dutch gov
ernment, which was now under con-
sideration.
The announcement of Mr.. Balfour
caused n sensation in parliament.
Lord Rosebery is generally credited
with having brought abouU this move
ment on the part of the Dutch gov.
ernment.
1t is recalled that DR.. Kuyper, the
Dutch premier, in an interview pub
lished about Christmas time, was
represented to have urged the inn
possibility of Hollands intervening
in South Africa unless she had rca-
son to think that both parties wished
it. Consequently, it is regarded us
certain that the present move was in
spired by the Boer delegates.
The Hague correspondent of the
the Daily Mail claims to have ascer-
tanned that DR.. Leyds inspired the
Dutch foreign secretary, who was
further advised by Prof. Asseur, the
international jurist, and adds that
DR.. Leyds is apparently attempting
to draw Mr.. Chamberlain, the British
colonial secretary, to disclose the
terms conditional upon the waving
of Independence.
The Daily News claims credit for
starting the peace movement. This
paper says that after Lord Rose
Eery's speech at Chesterfield, they
sent Dr. Bischopp, who was recently
counsel for the Dutch government
before the compensation commission,
and who is neither Briton nor Boer,
on mission to the continent to in
vite the Boer delegates to n consider
alton of the basis of negotiations
which Lord Rosebery suggested,
namely, to grant the Beers self-gov-
ernment on the Canadian model; no
unnecessary prolongation of military
occupation; complete amnesty to
Beers and colonial rebels and grants
of money to enable the Beers to re-
start their farms.
According to the paper, DIR. Bis
chopp persuaded the delegates to
hold a conference and discuss his pro-
posals. Then followed the visit of
DIR Kuyper to London. The Daily
News declines to reveal the outcome
of the conferences, but practically
avows that the Boer delegates still
insist upon independence and consid-
ers that the government ought to
reply setting forth Great Britain S
terms and leaving the responsibility
of refusal to the Beers.
Referring to this matter editorial
ly, the Daily News draws the infer
ence that the government has al
ready replied and has rejected the
overtures.
The impression in the lobbies is
that the outlook for peace is not
hopeful.

kruger Not Likely to Come.

The Hague, Jan. 2S.-The rumors
that Mr.. Kruger, having received in
vitations from Chicago, New York
and Philadelphia to visit those cities,
would probably start upon an Amer
lean tour next April arose from the
efforts of some pro-Boers who are
anxious to further, energetically,
their propaganda in the United
States. 1t is probable that some
Boer delegates will start for Ameri-
ca in the spring, but unless there oc-
ours a material improvement in the
health of Mr.. Kruger, it will be
physically impossible for him to be
n member of this party.

why caIifornia voted for Mckinley.

Washington, Jan. 27.-When the for

Saturday resumed its bearings on the
subject of the reenactment of law pro-
hibiting the coming into this country
of Chinese, it was informed that if it
had not been understood fully by the
people of the Pacific coast in the last
national campaign that the Chinese
would be excluded by republican ad-
ministration and by republican con-
gress, California's electoral vote
would have been cast for Mr.. Bryan.
This statement was made by L. j. Liv-
ernash, assistant manager of the San
Francisco (Cal) Examiner. He ap-
peared before the committee in sup
port of the Kahn bill for the exclusion
of the Chinese, which, it appeared in
the course of his statement, he had q

eggs, came here on ice on the steam
ship Sonoma. They are now thawing

Will release them and scatter the seed
wherever they win do the most good.
The seed are held for the time being.
in order that the professor may salts
fy himself that there are no para
sites in them. 1t Is supposed that the
seeds are full of eggs of the desired
fly, but there may be other things as
well in the seeds and a careful watch
for destructive insects will be made
before the welcome flies are allowed to
begin operations here. Yesterday on
opening one of the boxes Professor
Perkins found a parasite, which was
promptly killed. If it had gone loose
there might have been another pest
added to the japanese beetle, the
blight, the cutworm and various other
insect pests, and Perkins is exercising
great care to guard against such pill
kia.
Mexico when last heard from. and it
was from there that he sent the infect
ed seeds. The Mexican flies destroy
lantana by attacking the seeds. They
have fancy for the lantana seeds as
place for eggs and they bore tiny
holes in the little seeds and deposits
the eggs therein. The result is a lot
more flies and seeds that do not sprout.
Whether he lantana fly will thrive
here or not remains to be seen but it
is the opinion OF the entomologists that
the conditions so nearly resemble those
of Mexico that they will get along all
right. They were sent from Mexico to
the California State Quarantine officer
and by him given in charge of the
butcher of the Sonoma, who carefully
slowed them away on the refrigerator.
They are supposed to have withstood
the cold all right and to be ready to
develop into healthy flies.

Discuss Recommendation Is Called
For July g.

FOR the purpose of considering the re-
commendation of a successor to Judge
Humphreys has been called for Satur-
day morning, July 10, at eleven o'clock.
1t will be held in the hall over the Off
ces OF Castle and Cooke.
One report has it that Judge Little.
of the Fourth Circuit court, may try
to get the position vacated by Humph-
reys. Little is said to be anxious to
move to the first circuit court where
most of the legal business of the ISL
ands is done. Though the salary is the
same, it would be in the nature of a
promotion to leave the fourth cir,
cult for the first.
The names of De Bolt, Peters and
Dickey are the only other ones men
toned locally in connection with the
office. Peters has announced his can
didacy and says that he is going to
do his best to get the appointment. De
Bolt says he is waiting for the office
to seek the man, and Dickey has
friends and relatives on the Mainland
who, it is said, will materially aid his
candidacy.
The Bar Association is not unlikely
to recommend more than one candi-
date. 1t is the idea of some of the
members to name the three candidates
as all of them men fit for the position
and satisfactory to the members of
the bar.

and its twelve years leasehold interest
of the lot at Liliha street from Dr. s.
Kobayashi for $1,000, and has donated
the property to the japanese Charity

ward. The trustees of the Association
in their recent meeting decided to ac-

sition to remove the present hospital
at Palama into the new place, and in
that case, to use the former exclusively
for patients suffering from contagious
diseases.
AS the association was former un-

such important change to be made has
to first pass the approval of the Trea-
surer, it was not finally adopted at the
