SEES HOPE FOR IRELAND
Redmond Claims Law IL Imminent
to Heal Long standing
wounds.

LONDON, Jan. 1T.-John Redmond, NJ. p,
responding to a national address, presented
to him at Edinburgh this evening, said he
believed ireland would soon sec a law which
would heal the wounds of the century and
give the Irish people a chance of living in
peace and prosperity on their own soil.
II the chance Of settling the Irish land
question was lost by rejection OF the mea-
sure. said Mr.. Redmond, there would be an
overwhelming justification for such a
strong. menacing and dangerous public
movement in Ireland as he would be sorry
to see. He thought the spirit OF concillia-
tiOn with the Dublin lard conference would
be reproduced in the House OF Commons,
and IL so the political parties might COM
mence the work OF appeasement and Justice.
Hitherto the Irish nationalists had been
fighting landlordism and not the landlords,
whom they wished would remain to take
a part in the government OF the country.
The demand on the treasury in connection
with the voluntary purchase scheme was
not unreasonable. The deficit would disap-
pear in ten years by the reduction in the
cost of governing Ireland. Laying aside
the questions of what was due to the land
lords, and Of the debt due to ireland, it
would be a profitable investment to settle
the land question which had bafled the best
English statesmen, had been a source of
poverty, misery and bloodshed and had
caused the emigration of millions of Irish
men to America who cherished there an
undying hatred for the Union Jack.
He did not believe the settlement of the
and question would settle the home rule
question and he would hesitate to say that
1t would be the removal of the last obsta-
Gle.
In conclusion said he. IL the last nance
was lost, the losers would be the landlords
and those desiring to maintain the connec-
ton between England and ireland. The
Irish people were ready to accept the situa-
ton in the event OF the acceptance or the
refusal Of the pending proposition.

AMERICAN 'VARSITYS BEST
German Professor LRments short
cOminEs of His National seats
of Learning.

BERLIN, Jan. 17.-German scholars are
beginning to give unusual attention to
American intellectual progress. Prof. Weltz
of F%reiburg university, comparing the scien-
tihc development of Germany and the
United States, says the real American
danger exists in intellectual rather than
economic things.
The foremost among the new world uni
versities. he points out. are better equipped
than those in Germany for comprehensive
training, and the muniicent gifts from pri-
vate individuals for libraries, museums,
laboratories and professorships supply the
American professors with facilities for in
struction superior to those of their German
colleagues. Therefore, Germany is in dan
ger OF being surpassed by the United states
in intellectual development.
Describing how German worker are
handicapped by the inadequacy OF libraries.
Prof. Weltz remarks:
German investigators often painfully real
ize the fact that their American colleagues
work under far more favorable circum-
stances. We have libraries, numerous and
good, but there is not a single one where
Il can with certainty be Teckoned that
in hand. The larger German universities,
like Berlin, Munich and Goettingen, have
often attempted TO get means for supply
several weeks of correspondence with six
or more Libraries the inquirer finally ascer-
tains that II is impossible to write a dis
sertation in Germany at all.
In conclusion, the professor asserts that
the Americans not only have the better
tools, but owing to their large teaching
STATS and more minute subdivision of sub
jects, the American students are able TO
pursue individual scientific tests more eff
fectiyely.

In the case of Supervisors, the circuit
judge must signify his approval
The supervisors will probably meet
within day or two now that the Su-
preme Court has decided the election
contest. This deferred some of the
supervisors from action in the belief
that the Offices might be tied up ill
the courts. Now there is nothing in the
way and the supervisors intend to go
right ahead and let the county act fight
take care of itself
The county act requires that the SUI
pervisors meet on the first Monday in
December to pass upon the bonds of
county officers, but this is thought to
refer to next year, as legally, the Board
of Supervisors is not now in existence.
The county is required to bear the ex-
pense of bonds so it is not on that ac-
count that the Home Rule officers have
had trouble in getting security. The
surety companies are little afraid of
the class of men elected to some of the
offices, and although there is a lot of
competition for the business, the trust
companies are not going on the bonds
of men who will require the services
of a detective for the entire term.

CUSTOMS AND NAVY OFFICERS
HAD A LITTLE DIFFERENCE

rs
The differences between the customs
and naval officers regarding the right
OF the customs men to prevent the
landing of dutiable goods from naval
vessels have been settled. Admiral
Terry and Collector Stackable had a
conference a few days ago at which
whatever differences there might have
been We're arnicably arranged.
The naval officials have always OBJ
jected to the customs inspectors sur
veillance of war vessels while in port.
1t was the claim of both Admiral Mer-
ry and Admiral Whiting, while they
commanded the Honolulu naval sta
tion, that the inspectors had no right
to watch warships as they did other
vessels, and there has always been
considerable controversy in regard to
the matter. When the cruiser New
York was here about a year ago quite
a row was raised because one of the
inspectors stopped an officer who was
going ashore with a valise, and insist
ing on searching it. Admiral Rodgers
complained both to the Admiral here
and to the Navy Department, but
nothing was ever heard here about the
complaint. Later, on the last trip of

sola ce 10 Coming.

The naval transport Solace will sail
for Honolulu next Monday. She is
bringing supplies for the Asiatic fleet.
Altogether she will have three months
supplies for the ships. A Vallejo dis
patch says: Telegraphic orders were
received at the navy yard this morn
ing to prepare three months supplies
for the various departments of each
ship. of the squadron of the Asiatic sta
ton, which is expected to arrive at
Honolulu shortly. The telegram
states that acquisitions will arrive here
on December IL and that the transport
Solace is to be held here until the
stores can e prepared and placed
aboard her for shipment.
The Ipplies will comprise those for
the departments of ordnance, construc-
ton and repairs. supplies and ac-
counts, equipment and steam engineer
ing for the battleships Kentucky, Ore

the Solace to San Francisco new
objection was raised. Admiral Terry
protested against the seeming diseour-
tesy to the navy in having men sta
toned on the naval wharf while the
Solace was in port. He contended that
the wharf was naval property and the
inspectors had no right to go upon it
without his permission. He conceded
the right of the inspectors to prevent
violation of the customs regulations
but said as a matter Of courtesy his
permission should first be obtained be-
fore going upon the wharf.
The view taken by the customs au-
thorities is that they are sworn to pro-
tect the United States laws and that
they are given the duty of preventing
the landing of dutiable articles. AS
naval vessels from the Orient generally
are loaded down with cigars and other
dutiable articles they are compelled to
keep an even closer watch than on
merchant ships who are compelled to
file q manifest.
The result of the conference between
Admiral Terry and Collector Stackable
is said to have been very satisfac-
tory on both sides and hereafter there
will be no trouble in regard to the in
spection of war vessels of the navy.

NEW YORkISUN TELLS WHY
ASIATIC FLEET COMES HERE

the Asiatic station, to which Admiral
Evans's fleet is attached, but is in
cluded within the Pacific station, COM
manded by Rear Admiral Glass. who is
now at Panama with most of his ships.
Honolulu is nearly 1000 miles from any
part OF the Asiatic station, and that
much nearer to Panama.
The ships of the North Atlantic fleet
will start for the West Indies in about
a week, and the ships of the South
Atlantic squadron are coming north
to attend the annual winter maneu-
vers, which are to be held this
year in the vicinity of Porto Rico and
the southeast coast of Cuba, within a
few days run of the Isthmus.
While the administration is evidently
not placing the navy on war basis.
1t is taking no chances in meeting any
contingency that may arise, a fact
very evident from the distribution of
the ships of all squadrons with the ex-
ception of the European, at points
within easy reach of either Panama or
Colon.

HOW THE NEWS
WAS RECEIVED

The town had a lively sensation yes
story came out and the people, as usual
at such times, took sides at once as to
the authenticity of the report and the
propriety of it's publication. Efforts
were made by the evening papers to
get denials from Gen. Macarthur and
Gov. Carter but without much result.
The General said the report was un-
authorized and did not express his
views and the Governor said it had
been taken by the Advertiser reporter
from manuscript which had been Civ
en- him merely to consult for data
about a new armory. During the day
there We're many conferences, General
Macarthur and Col. Jones getting to-
gether at the Young Hotel. The Gov
ernor also conferred with number of
his personal and political friends.
Great interest was shown in the mat
ter abroad. In the morning the As
sociated Press sent to it's agent here
for ESQ word report, following the one
of the previous night, upon the manner
in which the information had been OBJ
tanned and published. A second morn
ing order also came to him. It is said
that the Washington line was kept hot
with demands for explanations and
with responses and that the Gable
company made lot of extra Christmas
money.
The Germans were intensely wrought
up and they sent many papers abroad.
They say the Berlin Foreign Office is
certain to be heard from.

Supervisors viii Require Surety for Nearly Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars Before
he Can Take His Office

Curtis P. Iaukea will have to give a
bond of nearly 100000 if he wants to
serve as assessor for the County of
Oahu. While the Supervisors have not
of course acted upon the matter they
have received information as to the
amount of the bond required and it
will be not less than s39O,000, for both
the county treasurer and assessor.
The county act provides that 1.-THE
amount of bonds of the Treasurer and
Assessor and Tax Collector shall not be
less than the greatest amount of money
shown by the books of the county to
have been in the hands of the officer
at any one time during the preceding
year -
Assessor Pratt had as much as $780,
600 in his hands during the month of
November and the supervisors viii cal
culate the amount of the assessor S
bond upon that basis. AS there is no
officer similar to a county treasurer
under the Territorial administration,
Treasurer Damon will be asked to give
bond in the same amount as the asses
sor. ~
The bond in each case must be ap-
proved by the Board of Supervisors.
