BOXERS AIDED CHINA
CAUSED DESIRE FOR WESTERN
CIVILIZATION.
Views of Dr. Ament on the Subject.
Says Boxers Were Not Patriots-Re-
turning to Peking.

In the opinion of DR.. Amept, the
chairman of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions at Peking, the Boxer uprising
will be productive of good to the Chi
nese nation. Mr.. Ament was a passen-
geronthe Nippon Maru for Peking,
where he goes to resume the duties of
his office. He passed through here over
a year ago, after the Boxer uprising
had been suppressed. DR.. Ament is the
man who had charge of the looting ex-
petitions which the Allies sent out from
Peking on the numerous punitive ex-
petitions which Field Marshal Walder-
see seemed to consider proper,
In speaking of the prospects of China
DR.. Ament said today while the box
er uprising caused vast misery and suf-
fering, it will be in the end, l think,
productive of benefit to the Chinese ma
ton, Already, the Chinese have been
awakened by the uprising, to a desire
to learn more of western civilization.
Our missions are being more crowded
by them every day. They have ap-
parently a sincere desire to be enlight-
ened, and | am certain that the greatest
benefit to China will result. Thousands
of them are throwing away their idols
too as the result of this desire to learn
of western civilization.
while this outcome of the boxer up
IlSlnS Will ne 10 arouse some patilOllC
feeling among the Chinese, the Boxers
were not by any means, patriots. Pat
Tiotism implies some intelligence and
the men engaged in that uprising did
not have such quality. The uprising ori-
ginated first by reason of religious su-
persttion, TO which was added hatred
of the foreigners. The Empress Dow
ager instilled this hatred nto the men.
II have talked with men engaged in
this uprising, men who would have kill
ed me had they been in a position to
have down so, and they said that while
they had nothing against me personally
they desired to drive out the foreigners.
The uprising was the work Of the riff
raff, the class which has nothing to
lose by such an uprising and everything
TO gain. They simply figured that they
had nothing to lose by such a move
ment and everything to gain and so en-
gagged in it," s.-

MEMORIAL BY MEMBERS OF HIS
CONGREGATION.
An Artistic Testimonial in Recognition
~
of His Episcopate of Thirty Years in
Honolulu.

Bishop Willis has been presented by
members of his congregation with a
very beautiful memorial on the occa-
sion of his resigning his episcopate
here. It is large framed testimonial,
done in colors, and of elaborate and ar
tistic design The lettering is as fol-
lows:
"To the Rt Rev Alfred Willis, D. D.,
Bishop of Honolulu.
My LOrd:-rhe Undersigned, Repre-
sentadves Of the Cathedral Church of
st. Andrews, Honolulu, and of ST. Pc
ter's Chinese Chapel, desire to present
you with this token of respect and
gratitude at the close of long Episco-
pate. 1t is an utterly inadequate ex-
preston of the feelings they entertain
toward Your Lordship, but they have
in accordance with your own wish
dedicated their energies rather to the
preparation of the Cathedral for COn-
secratiOn than to the presentation Of
any more costly gift to yourself. New
ertheless they hope that you will not
decline to accept this token Of their
deep affection and respect.
That the Blessing of God may rest
upon Your LOrdship and Mrs. Willis
wherever your future lot may be cast
viii ever be the prayer of your humble
ard respectful servants.

being the old Hawaiian motto The
Life of the Land is Preserved by
Righteousness" Pictures of the Ang-
lican Cathedral, of the old St. Andrews s
and st. Peters, and of the crucifxion
and resurrection make up a very artis-
tic border, designed by w. Beakbane.
There are church banners, affairs, and
at the top is the text of the last sermon
preached by the Bishop in st. An
drews: THE Lord Is Risen Indeed"
The memorial is in Thrum's window,
where it attracted much attention to-
day.

FERREIRA IS FREE
JUDGE GEAR ADMITS HIM TO
BAIL.
Conviction Illegal Because Humphreys
And Gear Held Court Both at the
Same Time.

Judge Gear this morning admitted
Domingo Ferreira to bail, pending an
appeal by the Territory in the matter
of the writ of habeas corpus issued un-
der the en- banc decision. Bail was
fixed at $4,000, and was put up by Fred
Harrison. The matter will be taken to
the Supreme court, and in the meantime
Ferreira is at liberty. There was no
argument as Judge Gears decision in
the matter is already of record.
The writ issued by Judge Gear set
forth that Ferreira was detained of his
liberty by reason of a pretended ver-
dict of jury rendered on February II,
1902, and continued as follows:
THAT the Honorable A. S. Humph-
Teys, First Judge of the First Circuit
Court aforesaid was in fact holding
court and actually engaged in trying
term cases in Honolulu aforesaid, and
within said First Circuit on the said
14th and 18th days of February, 1902
And that said order or sentence and all
proceedings therein in said action en-
titled Territory of Hawaii VS.. DOmin-
gos Ferreira,' were Illegal in that the
Honorable George D. Gear, Second
Judge of said Circuit Court, who pre-
sided at the pretended trial in said case
had no authority in law, to hold Court
or to try said case on said 14th and 18th
days of February, 1902, during the time
in which and while the said Honorable
A. 5. Humphreys was so holding Court
as ofaresaid, all of which appears by
the records of the First Circuit Court
and reference to said records is hereby
made and made part hereof of tnis
petition"

Writ OF MANDAMUS

Judge Gear this morning signed a
writ of mandamus asked for by Gill &
Farley in behalf of l.. Fl. Dee against
Victor Hoffman, treasurer of the Nc
Kechnie Paint and Wall Paper Com
pany, Limited. Dee says that on April
% he acquired 250 shares of stock in
the company, being a majority of the
paid up stock, from II. McKechnie, but
that the treasurer refuses to issue a
certificate or to record Dee's name on
the books of the corporation as
stockholder. Dee is thus deprived of
his rights as a stockholder and unable
to take his rightful part in the man
agement of the business. He asked for
a writ of mandamus to compel Hoff-
man to issue a certificate and make
the necessary record on the books OF
the corporation, and Gear Issued writ
returnable next Friday

HARD FOR EMIGRANTS
THOSE WITH DISEASES TO BE
KEPT OUT.
New Order Issued by the Treasury De-
partment, Which Requires Medical
Inspection of all Aliens.

In future, alien emigrants win find It
much harder to secure admission TO
the United States. Orders have been
issued by the Treasury Department di-
recting that there shall be a medical
examination Of all alien emigrants, in
addition to the regular INSPECTION held
by the immigration officials.
This order has been received with
much satisfaction by the Customs Off
clals, Tor they have been trying to Sc
cure such a regulation ever since these
islands came under the United States
laws.
The order has not as yet been re-
ceived by either Collector Stackable or
Or. COfer, but it is expected that the
regulation will be received by the
steamer today, if, indeed it did not ar
rive in the second class matter by yes
terday's mail.
The purpose of the new order is to
keep out all aliens who are afflicted
with contagious diseases and might be-
come public charges. For instance, If
any emigl ant arrives who is so afflict-
ed with the rheumatism that he can not
v aIk or work so as to take care of him
self, or is without means to provide for
his care, he will be denied admission.
Other diseases, such a tuberculosis, will
also be kept out. The order does not
however, apply to American citizens
returning from IOfelBn ldnuS, DuJ al
fects only aliens. The government
takes the position that while it is per-
aeotiY WING To care for Its own sick
and INDECENT, it does not care to have
the sick ana afflicted OF tOIeIgu cuun-
tries thrown upon it.
This work win be i'm charge Of DR..
Cofer. 1t means that every alien emil
grant will be subjected to a rigid ply
sical examination by the boarding Off
Ger. Should the boarding officer decide
that the person is not a fit subject ply
sically, to enter the United States, the
passenger will then have to be deported
by the steamship company. If. on the
other hand, the emigrant is able to
pass physical examination, he is turn
ed over to the immigration inspector
who Will then pass upon his right to
enter the country, as has been done in
the past.
While no officer will be detiled spe-
cially for this character of work, it is
thought likely that an additional assist
am will be sent to DR.. Cofer, as the
work will Of necessity be Increased by
this additional inspection. 1t is not
known when this order goes into effect,
| but it is likely to be within a very short
time.

ELKS HERD TONIGHT
SOCIAL SESSION IN HONOR OF
WARDE.
An Excellent Program Arranged By
tempt to Destroy Decorations.

The local lodge of Elks holds high
revel this evening in their lodgerOom
in honor of Frederick Warde, who will
act as chairman over a social ses-
sion" of the herd and their visitors.
The Invitations have been limited to d
chosen few and the fame of Warde as
chairman and the excellent enter
tainment known to be profered by the
lodge has made them eagerly sought
for.
Refreshments are provided in ampli-
tude and the program arranged for
the occasion promises to make the af-
fair notable. 1t includes numbers from
the well known quartet of the Dilling-
hams, Kimball and Elston, solo from
the latter and also from w. II. HOogs,
HerZer, Dougherty and Livingston, the
original Kawaiahao quartet with their
flute sOloist as an extra, Herrick at the
guitar Tarn McGrew and Sonny Cum
ha at the piano, e. NJ. Boyd anu Muir
ply in inimitable stories, the Elk's or
chestra, headed by Torbriner, recita-
tions and tales from members of the
Warde and Elleford companies and,
best of ALL speech from Warde which
is expected to bring many Elks within
the herd.
The hall will be decorated for the oc-
casion, although the committees plans
have been spoiled somewhat in this di-
rection through the damage made by
some persons who entered the lodge
room last night and with apparent
maliciousness pulled down the decora-
tons already started. A force of Elks'
wives have come to the rescue, how
ever, and ferns and palms with drap-
cry and bunting will symbolise the
patriotic and fraternal significance of
the order this evening.
