AFTER WAKE ISLAND.
United States Said to Intend to Gust
 the Japanese.

Tokio, Aug IT, via Victoria, B. c., Aug T-The United States seems to be look, ing after the Pacific islands. First il was Marcus Island, but news came thai the Washington authorities recognised Japans claim thereto. The incident caused little fiutter at first, and Japa- nese man-of-war was dispatched with an official on board to wait the arrival of Captain Rosehill. the American alleged concessionaire. The warship landed it's official. charged with documents. one be- ing from United States Minister Buck. but so far no word has been received of Captain Rosehills arrival. The tele- graphed solution of the matter has been hailed with pleasure by the Japanese press. which exalted the magnanimity of America and points out how consistently she has shown herself to be the friend of Japan.
 Just on the tip of that favorable i'm pression, however. there arrives tele- graphic word that the United States has sent a worship to oust Japanese from Wake Island, south of Marcus Island The Japanese papers claim the island was uninhabited until some of their bird catchers visited 1t. and profess to fail to understand what benefit the island would be to any nation.

UNIONS SHOULD INCORPORATE.
Otherwise, No Arbitration Law Can
 Be Made Binding.

Be Made Binding.
 Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. 2T-Justice shiras, of the United States Supreme Court, who has just arrived in Pittsburg from a long vacation spent along the northern shores of Lake Superior. refuses to discuss his reported retirement from the bench fur ther than to say that President Roose- welt would be the first person to learn it and he had not received the announce ment yet.
 On the subject of the anthracite coal strike Justice Shiras said:
 Arbitration is the logical. method of settling labor troubles. such as this one, which affects the general prosperity and comfort of great section of the country. The method and enforcement of this ar. bitration is a subject for the lawmakers Of the nation. but arbitration itself is logical
 There is now one great dificulty standing in the way of arbitration law. Many of the labor unions are not incor- porated. Until they are. no law can be made binding, as no contract or agree- ment could be enforced upon them, while the operators. on the other hand, could be held liable.
 Incorporation of labor unions is the primary step toward the passage of an arbitration law. The unions must be re- sponsible for all agreements, and there is little hope of possible arbitration of labor troubles as now exist"

 The fioater found yesterday was buried without Identification, but from appear ances 1t was tne body of Mexican la borer between 30 and 70 years of age The bcdy had evidently been in the water about two deys and when found was among some bushes and logs in such a way as to make 1t necessary to tow it up the river a short distance before 1t was removed. There was a slight wound over the left eye. This wound might have teen caused by small calibre bull let. Absolute mystery surrounds the deaths.

charged with being short in his ac-
counts The letter was very brief and
lacking in details but in conclusion
Wright said he would write more fully
by the next steamer. The Ventura
and the steamer SOlaCe arrived and stiu
] got no letters from Wright. or anyone
else regarding the matter. Then the
Alameda arrived but still got no word.
day or two later | was at the Occi-

pie from Honolulu who told me the ex-
tent of the charges against b. II.
Wright. | was very much surprised
because having heard nothing more

matter had been settled. | wrote at
once to w. H. Wright asking him to
give me detailed information on the
matter. The next week / was over in

start for the cliff House when I heard
the neWsboys calling out something
about the treasurer of Hawaii abscond-

the whole story. This news was

Writ IS KNOCKED OUT

The writ of ne eXeat regno will not do
as a substitute for the passport law by
which Honolulu business men were
wont to stop debtors from getting away
from the islands,. 1t was knocked out
this morning by Judge Gear, who held
that the writ could not be invoked ex-
cept in an equity case, and the writ
heretofore issued, in the case of Robert
H. c. Easton VS.. Robert McBryde, was
ordered dissolved. Easton sued Nc
Bryde for $3.50 and secured a writ to
prevent the defendant from leaving the
islands.
The writ of ne eXeat is an equity
proceeding" said Judge Gear and
cannot be allowed in a purely legal case
for the collection of an ordinary debt.
1t is only allowable in the case of an
equitable claim, not recoverable at law"
