SOME ADVERTISHNG EXCUSES.
Miss sandsrson Tells Why She Broke
 Off Her Engagement.

Off Her Engagement.
 Paris, Jan. 27.-Miss Sybil Sanderson consented to-day to give represen- tative of the Associated Press the reason for her breaking off her engage
 nent to marry Count Henri De Fitz- James, which she says is due to re- ligious obstacles, as Count De F'itz- James is a Roman Catholic and was divorced a couple of years ago.
 When we became engaged in Amer ica,' said Miss Sanderson, "I did not appreciate what serious obstacle his divorce offered our union but on my re- turn to France this matter was dis cussed and I realized it was impossible that our marriage could be celebrated by the Roman Catholic church and that we could only be married civilly. In view of the religious ideas of the Fitz-James family and social connec- tions this would lead to an equivocal situation unacceptable to both of us. We therefore mutually agreed to end our engagement and remain the best of friends. Count De Fitz-James will go to South America the beginning of next February with the intention of making a prolonged stay there. l will leave here shortly afterwards to fulfill engagements in Belgium and Holland, returning to Paris to appear at the Op- era Comique March 15."
 With regard to the stories that the conditions of her late husbands will in- volving the forfeiture of her heritage if she re- married Miss Sanderson said:
 "These are quite untrue. I inherited only half the income from the estate which was given internationally"

This Owing to the Traditional Belief
 That Presidents of United States Ought
 Not to Accept Gifts from Abroad
 Possibility of Its Being Accepted and l Placed i'm the Smithsonian Institute. l Berlin, Jan. 27.-Admiral Prince Hen " of Prussia will give a dinner to An drew D. White, United States ambassa- dor here, and Mrs. White on January 31. Mr. White is dining tonight with Count von Buelow, the imperial chan cel!or.
 It appears uncertain whether Presi- ident Roosevelt will accept present from Emperor William, owing to the traditional belief that the presidents of of the United States ought not to ac- cept gifts from abroad. A court off, cial, in talking of this, alluded to the gift of a king of Spain, who presented General Washington with two jacks and jennet, from which some of the best mule stock in America has de- scended. An American, with whom this court official was talking, replied that General Grant had caused a tremen- dous amount of disapprobation in the United States by accepting a dog from an American.
 If President Roosevelt accepts the present the character of which is as yet a secret, it will probably be de- posted in the Smithsonian institute, or accepted pending congressional ap- proval It is understood here that in- quiries are being made in Washington concerning the inclinations of President Roosevelt and that no present will be offered him if it is intimated that it must be declined.
 The conservative journals here have been singularly silent over the visit of Prince Henry, which the old arstocra- cy looks upon coldly. Those newspa- rers do not see how any especial Ger man object can be served thereby and fear in some vague way that warm friendship between the United States and Germany will render the passage of the German tariff bill more difficult.
 The Deutsche Tags Zeitung, the great
 
 lence to-day by treating Prince Hen rvs approaching visit with a mixture of levity and seriousness, In which ill feeling is scarcely concealed.
 That part of our press which chron- ically suffer with gushing feelings whenever business interests are involv- ed,' says the Tags Zeitung, has al- ready talked itself into a mood which | which threatens to grow dangerous. If enthusiasm over the forthcoming ex- 1 change of expressions of friendship be- tween the United States and Germany be already aglow, what degree of white | heat will it reach when the champagne | corks are popping in Washington"
 Continuing, the paper says that royal | journeys rarely have political results | and that every time one takes place | this historical fact is forgotten, and 1 deep interpretations are read into 1t. | Such visits can only reveal the exist ing situation, not create a new one In i order to avoid the bitter after the taste of disappointment, the Tags Zeitung warns against all effervescence of feel ing.
 Among the guests at the birthday banquet held in the white hall of the palace was King William II of Wur- lemberg, the prince Of Wales, the ducn- ess of Albany. After the banquet the emperor and the empress held a recep- ton.

KRUGER CANNOT COME.
His Condition VIII Not Allow Him to
 Visit United States.

The Hague, Jan. 27.-The rumors that Mir. Kruger, having received invitations from Chicago, New York and Phila- delphia to visit those cities, would prob- ably start upon an American tour next April, arose from the effects of some pro-Boers, who are anxious to energet- ically further their propaganda in the United States. It is probable that some Boer delegates will start for America in the spring but, unless a material inn provement in the health of MT, Kruger occurs, it will be physically impossible for him to be a member of this party.

DARING EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Outlaws Steal Safes from Train in
 North Carolina.

Charleston, S. C., Jan. 27.-Meagre de- tails of daring express robbery near Branchville, shortly after o'clock this evening, have been received. As the north bound train from Charleston slowed up two miles from Branchville the engineer, fireman and conductor were ordered by several masked men, with pistols, to stop the train. The rob bers overawed the passengers, uncou- pied the engine and express and bag gage car, went two miles up the road, unloaded the two iron express safes, put them on a two horse wagon and drove away. The express messenger was ordered by the robbers to unlock the safes, but he declared that he did not know the combination. The leader is supposed to be the notorious Barlow Warren, who robbed the express car within a few miles of Branchville in 1899.

War Tax Un fairness shown Between the Beer and Iron Intercsss-Chatr- man Eayne's Answer.
 Washington, Jan. 17.-At the meeting of the house war revenue committee this afternoon the beer interests were represented by officials of their organ ization, including N. w. Kendall, of New Haven, Conn, president of the United States Brewers association George J. Obermann, of Chicago, chair man of the committee on federal af- fairs of that association; Rudolph Brand, of Chicago, and Robert Grain. of Baltimore of the board of. trustees.
 President Kendall said that assur- ances had been given when the war taxes were imposed that they were for war purposes and would terminate with the war. He compared the rate placed on beer with that imposed by Great Britain as an incident to the Boer war,
 
 higher. There was no trust in the brew ing trade, he declared, and if large for tunes had been made in the business it was before the Spanish war.
 He referred to three men engaged in the Iron industry reaping an annual profit of sixty million dollars from their business. The breweries haid paid $73,- $50, 754 to the government in 1900, and their profits either had been wiped out entirely or reduced to a pittance. In conclusion MT. Kendall said: 'The trus- tees of the United States Brewers asso- citation express the sentiments of the entire American brewing industry when they state that the war tax upon our product, being the highest and most de- structive tax ever imposed, here or else where, upon an article of domestic pro- duction and domestic consumption, should be the first to be wholly repeal ed and that now in it's distressing con- dition the American brewing trade has no hope of relief except that which rests upon your sense of justice and your willingness to redeem a pledge and promise repedIeQ1y anu SOiSHlIlly lHduG by your honorable committee"
 To MT Kendalps appeal that congress should keep the promises of repeal heretofore made Chairman replied that congress and the committee had kept ahead of their promises. The trouble had been that the requirements of the had largely increased. The reduction in war taxes last year had gone as far as the government condi- tions seemed to justify. Now the com mittee would further consider what ad- reductions were justified
 MT. Obermann spoke of the numerous failures in the brewing industry. The industry was thoroughly American, with American labor at high wages, but he declared that it was not treated like other American industries.
 Mr. Brand, of Chicago, referred to the enormous surplus glutting the treasury and said that this should impel an inn mediate performance of the promises which had been made that the war tax would be repealed.
 MT Grain of Baltimore said the present tax was particularly onerous on the small brewers. A local delegation the National Retail Malt Liauor association urged the repeal of the beer tax for the benefit of the re- .ailers. This closed the hearings on the | peer tax.

MODERN BANKING.

II has long been the custom for say
ings banks on the Mainland and else
where to keep open door till 10 O'Clock
on Saturday evenings for the conve
nienCe of wage.earners who, working
till late hour, would not otherwise
have any opportunity during the week
to make deposits OF a part of their
earnings and build up their little nest
eggs against those rainy days that are
visitors. more or less, in all homes.
But New York banks are taking the
lead in advancing step beyond the
Saturday evening opening. The latest
practice is to give out small safes to
such families as desire them, more
particularly among the wage.earnins
classes. on the payment of $3.50 b,
each prospective debtor. This sun
represents the cost OF the safe anC
protects the bank from loss, but II IL
credited at once to the person open
ing an account. Duly authorized so
licitors make house.to house canvass
install the safes. collect the initial de-
post and issue regular pass books
Once a month a collector calls and un.
locks the safe with the only instru.
ment whereby this can be done, en-.
tors the amount of the savings in the
pass books and carries the money to
the bank.
BY this new system the custom OF
centuries has been reversed The
bank goes to the depositor. not the de.
positor to the bank. Small customers
of the financial institutions Srd the
new system great convenience.
When their money is dropped into the
little safe. 1t is almost as secure as II
1t were in the bank itself and any pos,
sible temptation to spend 1t Is beyond
reach. One family can have as many
safes as there are individuals who de.
sire to make deposits. and II Is claim.
ed that from seven to ten thousand
new depositors have. through this
new method, been added to the say.
ings banks clientele In New York
city alone. Tens OF thousands of dol.
lars are added to the capital that is
kept in actual employment and the
workers of the country become more
and more its capitalists.

FACTS ABOUT HAWAII.

Commissioner Carroll d. Wright. o
the Department of Labor, in a recen
report to the United States Senate
| says that the population of the Ha
at each census since 1872. In 1878 the
increase over 1872 was 1.9l per cent
in 1884 the increase over 1873 reached
1896 per cent, in 1890 the increase
over 1884 was ll.GS per cent, in 1896
the increase over 1890 was 21.15 pei
cent, while in 1900 the increase cveI
the previous enumeration was 4l.26
per cent. The most noticeable feat
ures of the data relating TO population
are the steady decrease in the mum
Der of native Hawaiians and the rapid
increase in the number of persons OF
Chinese and Japanese nativity.
The Governor of the Territory in his
last official report, in commenting up
on the rapid decrease in the number
OF Hawaiians, attributes 1t during la
ter years to their gregarious tendency
calling attention to the fact that in
1900 almost one.half OF the Hawaiian
population was concentrated in five
districts, over 80 per cent being found
in the single district of Honolulu
Whatever lie cause, the rapid de
crease is shown not only by the va
rious censuses of the Islands but by
a comparison of the annual death rates
where such data are obtainable. The
death rate per thousand in Honolulu in
1900 Is given as follows: Hawaiians
42.Sl; Japanese, 2S.93; Portuguese
1909; Chinese, 1916; while that for
all other nationalities averaged 1875
These Islands, which in former
years We're without regular means OF
transportation and communication
with other countries, are now in the
path of the growing commerce between
America and the Orient. They are
regularly and frequently visited by the
steamships of several lines and by
many sailing vessels as wen as by the
United States Government transports
en- route to the Philippine Islands,
which, in common with commercial
steamships, recoal at Honolulu. Their
entire volume of commerce in 1893
amounted to $41,GSS,374.6l, Of which
sum $l9,O59,G05,79 represented i'm,
ports and $22,62S,74l.S2 exports. OF
the imports during that year those
from the United States amounted to
sl5,O20,SSO17, or 1881 per cent of to,
tai imports, while those from other
countries amounted to $4,OSS,775.62. or
2l.l9 per cent. or the total amount of
exports the United States received
S22,5l775S.S2, or 1851 per cent, while
other countries received $1lO,9S3, or
0,49 per cent.
Since the acquisition of the Islands
by the United States and its organiza.
ton as Territory no entry of goods
has been required when shipped eth.
er to or from the Mainland, and conse.
quently no data can be had as to the
amount of goods that have entered the
Territory from the United States. For
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1901,
Tie total exports were $2S,O54, 480. 49,.
and the total imports $22,S3S,795. 1t
is estimated in the last report OF the
Governor OF the Territory that tho
