CHINESE WILL TAKE THEIR
FIRE CLAIMS CERTIFICATES

~ HINESE claimants for damages
81 from the sanitary fires, whose
%elaims have been adjudicated by
the Fire Claims court, have de-
cided that they will take their certifi-
Gates. If the commission issues them,
resting on the belief that If the repre-
sentations of the japanese are suffi-
cient to secure from the United States
Government any action to have the
claims paid out of national funds, that
there Will be no Discrimination, but the
Chinese will receive just as much as do
the Japanese.
This point was decided at a meeting
of the Chinese claimants with the at
torneys OF the consulate and members
of the commission, which prepared the
claims for adjudication. There were
several hundred of the claimants pres
emf and the discussion which preceded
the action was spirited. There was a
considerable feeling that the people
We're doing wrong in taking such a
small percentage of their claims and
that there might be some better settle
ment had IL the course of the Japanese,
IN refusing the certificates was follow
ed
1t was finally decided to be the sense
of the meeting that If the commission
should issue certificates they should be
accepted as evidences of a claim and in
the event of a contest or the payment
by the United States OF any part of the
claims. made by the other alien popu-
lations, then the Chinese will make an
other attempt to secure their share of
the money which may be appropriated
for the purpose.
1t was made known yesterday that

Canton, where resides his aged mother
whom he wishes to see once more, he
having now been some five years away
from his native land. The leave was
applied for some six months ago and
was deferred until the settlement OF
the Fire claims. Mr.. Yang will not in
all probability go to the capital but will
proceed to his old home and spend
much of his vacation, which is now six
months, there.
Consul Yang has been considerably
gratifled with the percentage of the
claims allowed to the various claim
ants. According to figures now at hand
the total of the claims adjudicated
show that the Chinese got some So 2-3
per cent of the claims filed, while ia
pan had less than 80 per cent. There
were $55S914.39 of claims filed through
the consulate and of this amount. the
recovered sum Will be 1920, 100- There
were something like total of $500 600
of claims presented and the certifi-
Gates will amount to more than $500, 900.
Mr. Yang said that he had enjoyed the
first part of his stay here better than
the last, but that he had been well
pleased with the climate and the peo-
pie The trouble which besets him and
his friends is that which came up. about
the time OF the fire. and he regrets IT,
for he looks upon all his friends with
the same friendly eye.
Mr.. Yang said that he was not able
TO tell OF his journeys, as he would
make a tour Of the country Of his boy
mood, and spend the time with friends.
He might be called to some country
nearer than this. He IS impressed with
the magnitude of the industries here
and said that he was much pleased but
he would prefer allotment to some Of
the other countries nearer home. He
has been very busy in preparing for
his trip and said that he would not be
able to call upon every one but would
t~s- ard make this statement a .. p. C..
card which would be understood by his
friends.

MERCHANTS FAIR RECEIVES

and dedicated TO the purpose of bring

and the agriculturists will have to wait

shape a number of the shows, but this
will be renedied this morning and the
promise is that there will be nothing
left undone to make the room bright
and the exhibits ready to attract the
attention of visitors.
Viewed in it's incomplete shape yes
terday the pavilion in which is going
to be held the fair was rapidly assum-
ing shape and effectiveness The ex-
hibitors who took their spaces early in
the week have given much thought to
their displays and the result is that
they have many things which are well
worthy of serious attention on account
of their beauty.
The most attractive of the exhibits
perhaps. is that of the Hawaiian Elec-
trio Company, which win be ablaze
with lights, and which will have in it
several of the newest things in the way
of signs. The space taken by the cleo
trio company is being fitted with every

new thing in electric appliance. and
| there will be a space full Of the very
best things in the recent development
of the art of handling and applying
electric power.
1t would be invidious to mention one
I, Of the prepared exhibits without nam
| ing all, but there are some of those in
place which are quite above the ordi-
nary for the same kind of a fair. The
display of awnings by eastman Mel
son is one of beauty, and the combina-
tions of color are effective. The room
fitted up by Levers & Cooke with mir
ror and wall paper, rug and mating,
IS one of the beauty spots, while the
apartment of Rice & Perkins and that
of the Honolulu Iron Works. of the
brewery and Davies, the really excel
ben, show of May & Company. and
the Meat Company, and the artistic
preparations which are being made by
the three carriage companies, combine
to give an idea of what Honolulu has
in the way of trade resources and what
may be accomplished if the people once
get together and try.
The pavilion has been divided into
forty spaces and OF these the exhibits
take up thirty-six, leaving as a recep-
ton room for visitors only four. the
ones between the doors OF the main en-
trance on Hotel street. The committee
will keep a close watch upon the vis-
itors and endeavor TO make their stay
pleasurable as well as profitable. There
will be an information bureau and
every effort Will be made for the pur-
post of carrying out the intention which
led to the establishment of the fair.
In the Drill Shed the preparations of
Wray Taylor for the displays from the
farms and gardens are practically com
plete There will be a series of tables
upon which will be displayed the vari-
Gus vegetables and fruits which are en-
tering into the competition for the
prizes. The leis are to be shown upon
a series of standards which are placed
upon the center tables. and the wall
spaces will be given over TO the ex-
hibjts of various manufactures of Ha-
waiian goods There will be also some
particular exhibits of special growths
such as the dozen varieties Of sugar
cane TO be shown by Mr.. Wilde, and
the products of the Kamehameha
school. There have arrived in the city
several of the good exhibits and these
are TO be placed on display after two
days in the ice. for they had 20 come

There viii be great crowds az the
fairs. for there has been nothing OF
the same kind here for years. The es-
say competition Of the school children
will draw parents as we'll as little ones
to the fairs, and the displays will be
well worth the while.

good character, sturdy, untlinching
loyalty to liberty.

Mgr. Conaty quoted from Senator
Hoar in his address at the 25Oth ami,
I versary Of Worcester. "But see what
the 1rishman brings also as Il dowr.y
to this marriage which the centuries
are to weld. The Irish race is con-
spicuous among great races for great
traits. No people that possesses
them ever failed to achieve high
rank among nations on a fair field.
These are the capacity to produce
great men under the most adverse
conditions; the capacity for rapid ell
ovation when conditions are favorable,
courage, soldierly qualities, the gift of
eloquence, the power of severe and pa
tient labor, the passion for owning
land, strong domestic affection,
chastity, deep religious feelings" AS
he said recently in Boston: '"rhey are
the mint in the julep." Noble words
from the best type of American pub
lie life.
The Irish have brought to the build
ing of this nation it's strength Of char
acter as a race, which seven centuries
of persecution have not been able to
weaken. There is virility which
is peculiarly it's own, reverence for
home, devotion to all that men hold
dear, bon hommie which is at the
salt of life-and these characteristics
the Irishman brings with him every
where. Their deep-seated love Of
country encourages and strengthens
patriotism.
Mgr Conaty then passed to a discus
sion of the question of numbers as to
the Irish emigrants, and spoke at
length upon their relation to the Rev
olution and to their assimilation to
American life. Speaking on their
faults, he said they could all be traced
to the influence of the anti-Irish legis-
lation in Ireland, to the prohibitive
laws hindering Industrial development
to the iniquitous tax system, which
promoted improvidence, and to the
penal laws, which developed illit
eracy.
He said it was not necessary to go
far to find the reason why the Irish
and their descendants in America
rebel against an alliance with Eng
land. Anglo -Saxonism, strictly
speaking, is but one of the many ele-
ments in American nationality which
needs no appeal to tottering mon
arches, and should seek no alliance
with royal thrones. Let us be true
to the ideals upon which our country
bases it's political life, true to liberty
and true to God. God and country
are two loves that have always been
inseparately united in the Celtic
heart, and the children Of the Celt
should preserve these loves in their
strength and beauty-faithful to rel
igion, faithful to country, and loving
literature, which with his religion,
form the precious Inheritance which
he received from his Celtic mother
land.
