friends in Honolulu were numbered
among the hundreds. The deceased

kinds and whenever there was a base
ball or football game in the city while
he was here, the familiar face of the
captain was always to be seen some
where around. Captain Griffiths was
very kind to the newspaper boys and
when in the days when the steamers
from the Coast were not as numerous
as they are now, he always remember
ed to keep late papers from the Coast

THE QUESTION OF REVISION.
Serious situation Now Confronts
Belgian Governments

Brussels, April 15.-The government
has formally declined to yield on the
question of revision. and unless King
Leopold should, override the ministry,
there seems to be nothing to prevent
the development of a serious situation.
In the Chamber of Deputies this aft
ernoon M. Neujean presented a mani
festo on behalf of the Liberal members
of the Leftists, demanding dissolution
in order to enable the country to pro-
nounce on the revision question. This
manifesto pointed out that the time
was critical and the country threat
ened with civil war. and for the gov
eminent to consent to a loyal and con-
stitutional settlement could not be rep
resented as a surrender to popular dis
order.
To this challenge the Premier, M. Lee
Smet Denayer, replied briefly by de-
claring that the right of dissolution
rested with the King. He added that
he felt it his duty to warn Parliament
against the rumors of government con-
cessions.
M. Janson, the Liberal leader, retort-
ed that the chamber could by motion
call upon the King to change the min
istry. He said there was no sign of
Cancellation in the Premier's reply to
NJ. NeuJean, and that responsibility for
the consequences would rest on the
government.
Tomorrow the Socialist members of
the chamber will present their demand
for universal suffrage. This will inev-
itably be defeated, and il is feared that
this defeat will lead to trouble, par
ticularly in the provinces.
No noteworthy incident occurred to-
day in the streets of the city The au-
thorities have taken extraordinary
measures to avert disorders. and the
whole quarter, comprising the Cham
Der of Deputies, the palace and the
ministries is kept in complete isolation
from the rest of the city by cordons
of the city guard. The appeal of the
Socialist leaders for a demonstration

reason that the, President intends to

VOTE ON EXCLUSION TO-DAY.
Chinese Bill Amended i'm Favor OF
Students and Educated Classes.

StuOChaS OAurSCSs
Washington, April 1.-THE debate on
the Chinese exclusion bill was prac-
tically concluded to-day in the Senate
and voting on the bill and amendments
will begin at o'clock tomorrow. BY
general consent a vote was taken to-
day on two amendments. offered by
Mr.. Fairbanks of Indiana. striking out
the definition as to Chinese students
and teachers, and they were agreed to
without division. These changes were
made with a view to reconciling some
of the opposition to the measure which
has been directed against the rigid
restrictions on students and teachers,
and the unnecessary inconvenience this
would impose on the educated Chinese
classes coming to this country.
The debate to-day was participated
in by Senators Heitfeld of Idaho, Pen
rose of Pennsylvania and Turner of
Washington in favor of the bill, and
Senators Pritchard of North Carolina
and Spooner of Wisconsin in opposi-
ton. Mr.. Turner made the assertion
that politics had crept into the dis
cussion and that most of the members
of the majority were opposed to the
bill. This brought out a sharp rejoin-
der from Mr.. Spooner, who maintain
ed that politics had not figured in the
discussion and that the opposition to
the present bill was due entirely to it's
conflict with the treaty and not be-
cause of any opposition to Chinese ex-
clusion which was an established doc
trine of the government.
Mr.. Pritchard opposed the bill main
ly on account of the injury it would
cause the South in reducing the cotton
exports to China.
Mr.. Mallory of Florida expressed sur
Prise at the amendment proposing to
strike out the seamen's clause social
ed. He said this was one of the most
salutary features and should be re-
tanned.

Discussing the financial prospects of
South Africa in the House of Com
mons the chancellor of the exchequer
said both the Transvaal and Orange
River Colonies would be able to share
in the cost of the war. He could not
announce the amount definitely but
he believed that within few years
certain sources of revenue, represent
ing a capital of the value of ESQ 600, 900
would be set aside for this purpose.
Regarding the reports of differences
between himself and the colonial sec
rotary, Joseph Chamberlain. the chan
cellor of the exchequer admitted they
had a little difference of opinion. He
thought the colonial secretary was
more sanguine and more anxious than
himself to make charge on the Trans
vaal. Yet it could not be supposed
that the chancellor of the exchequer
was backward in a matter of this kind.

Wheeling, W. Va, June 17.-Fires
have been Of such frequent origin
during the past few weeks that proper
ty owners are greatly alarmed at tho
daeds OF some pyro-maniac,. and in
surance men are having great trouble
In placing risks that have heretofore
been considered safe.
So intense is the feeling among the
people that the board. of trade has
been called In special session to- take
some action, and the local board of
underwriters has called a similar
meeting. Incendiary fires have been
SO common that business men are
afraid to leave their buildings at night
lest they follow in the wake of smoke
that has blown almost continuously
over the east end for month or SO.
Many WHO have observed the meth
ods employed In recent dastardly at
tempts to destroy property, are firmly
convinced that there is at large In

subject OF fire. A comparison OF con-
ditions surrounding the attempts to
burn property lends plausibility to this
theory.
