The Great Difficulty.

The great difficulty in the way Of
peace lies in the form Of words that the
Republics must forfeit their independence.

By the use Of different phrase or
phrases, the Netherlands government is
not very hopeful of the termination of
the war at present
While some CT the Boer leaders are
highly educated and intelligent men. and
realize that their independence must be
forfeited. many OF their followers are
rough and ignorant, and these latter have
had the word independence so dinned
into their ears since the Matuba fasco.
when many OF them were children. that
they would never consent TO forfeit il.
There should, however. be no great diff
iculty in arranging this matter if the
British would agree to leave out the OBJ
jectionabIe words altogether and attain
what would practically be the same end
by, for example, entering into a treaty
for the Incorporation Of the TWO Republics

phrase which would give the lower class

FOR CHAIRMAN
OF CONVENTION

| Who will be chairman of the Repub-
! lican Territorial Convention Is a Ques-
ton which IS agitating the minds of
some of the leaders, but the answer is
still in the air. To some of the leaders
there is another side to the same query
from which island shall the chair
man come, and on that subject, there
are perhaps as many sides.
Chairman A c. M. Robertson of the
Territorial committee believes that the
best thing to do is to choose a chair
man from one of the outside districts.
He is not yet informed as to the dele
gates who will come from Hawaii. He
believes there will be no trouble in
finding a man from the outside who
will serve with ability. Judge Kepoi-
kai of Maui, Mr.. Robertson said, would
be an available man, and one on whom
everybody might we'll unite.
Senator George r. Carter has been
mentioned as making a fight for the
place. He said last evening that he
was not in the field as candidate and
if his friends were doing anything they
were doing it without his knowledge.
He had not looked into the matter sufti-
GENTLY to enable him to give an opin-
ion as to what course should be pur-
sued.
Chairman Robertson said he was not
a candidate for the Office of chairman
Of the convention, and that he would
not make fight for the place. Several
names have been mentioned in this
but no one is believed TO
be out making a hard canvass

| DR.. Holt of the u. S. Quarantine ser.
vice visited the vessel and made z
thorough examination. The crew told
him the awful story. 1t seems that the
Japanese cabin-boy of the ship had a
fancied grievance against the Captain
and when the latter went forward tc
visit the galley and learn why the boy
had not done certain work which had
been ordered, the boy took a butcher
knife from under his coat and virtually
Ecut the skipper into pieces. DR. Holt
Examined the Captains body and de-
clared that from the appearance of
things jacobson must have died with
in a quarter of minute after the Jap
had run the big knife into him. DIR.
Holt granted the vessel pratique but
turned the papers over to the Customs
authorities. who in turn notified the
United States Marshal
The story of the tragedy as told by
officers, crew and the Captains wife
when pieced together is as follows:
DETAILS OF THE TRAGEDY.
Captain jacobson got the Jap cabin
boy in Portland but ne did not hitch
very we'll with the cook. For few
days while in Portland the cook and
cabin-boy had many rows but finally
they came to an agreement and SEEM
ed happy enough when leaving Port
land. Soon the two Japs commenced
TO run things to suit themselves.
They refused to do any work that did
not please them and the cook told the
boy of many things he should not do.
Acting on such advice the boy refused
to clean the cabin brass oftener than
once a week. He refused to clean out
the mates room, also the companion
way. The Captain went forward in a
mild fashion and told the boy how to
do his work but the youngster only
sulked. When about seven days out
from port the Captain told the boy of
some work he wished done. The boy
declared that the cook had told him

there is no report but the majority
