RUSSIAN PIANIST
COMING HERE

Mdlle. Olga Khroostcheff, talented
Russian pianist of the front rank,
whose name is we'll known on concert
platforms of Europe and the Orient,
may arrive here on an early steamer
from the Orient en- route to the United
States, and may give a recital in Homo
lulu. In private letter received here
on the last steamer from an official at
Hongkong. it was stated that the art
iste was not certain of stopping over
in Honolulu, this depending on her en-
gagements in the United States. The
China Gazette of Shanghai of a recent
date speaks in the highest terms of the
pianist, and announced that she was
then to shortly leave for Picking to play
before the Empress Dowager. The Ga
zette says of one of her recitals:
1t is not often that an artistic of such
finished style and exquisite technique
has performed in Shanghai. To hear
Mdlle. Khroostcheff in any one of her
beautiful selections from so many great
composers with which she favored her
audience last evening was a liberal ed
ucatlon in music, lesson which could
not fail TO help any aspiring amateur
The opening number Auf Flugeln Pes
GeSanges, by Mendelssohn. was PLAYED
with exquisite expression. The high
ability Of the fair artistic of yesterday
mas great scope in this selection to
which she did full justice and her play
ing OF 1t was perfect, every note and
every passage bringing out her great
capabilities as a pianist, in all its va
r1ed movements holding the audience
as in a spell. Her runs especially were
most daintily played in absolute per

BUSINESS METHODS ONLY.

There can be nothing unfair in the
proposition of this paper to take expert
testimony from railroad and steamship
men as to the best methods OF adVertis-

Advertiser desires is that no funds shall

Russia's latest scheme, that Of MAX
ing China an ally. is the most dan
gerous one to Chinese autonomy she
has yet preached. 1t involves. among
other well-laid plans, the instruction"
and practical control of the Chinese
army. The idea has two advantages
from the Russian point of view: One
is to get rid of the Japanese military
tutors who are at work welding their
old enemies into formidable defensive
force; the other is to paralyze any
initiative the Chinese may ever wish
to take in a military way. The Rus
sian Instructors would be sure not
to teach the descendants of the soldiers
of Genghis and Kublai too much; and
as spies they would be able to know
all that went on in Chinese military
circles. If the proposed alliance ever
becomes a reality. the future of China
as an independent power will not be
difficult to forecast.

A national campaign with Cleveland
as the Democratic candidate would be
amusing in more ways than one. When
it is remembered that every Demo-
cratic paper in the United States OPP
posed a third term for Grant on
grounds of "Caesarism," violation Of
the unwritten laws of the republic"
menace TO constitutional liberty and
the like, it will be seen what a treasury
OF quotation their files would afford to
the Republicans. The warwhoops from
the Bryan reservation would also be
worth hearing. But we fear the Re
publcans will have no such luck as
the chance to run Roosevelt against the
Sage OF Princeton Inn.

the Australian colleges are better or
ganized than any others to train young

SEATTLE BLOCK BURNED.
American Type Founders Co. and
Other Firms Badly Damaged.

Seattle, Aug. 31.-Fire, aided by
smoke and water, did probably $50, 0OO
damage to the Moses block, a five
story brick structure on the east side
of Second avenue south, during the
hour from 2:30 to $3.50 o'clock this
morning.
The ground floor was occupied by
j. w. Fales & Co., wholesale stationery
and paper; the American Type Found
ers Company; A. c. Tousey & Co., belt
ing, hose, packing and mill supplies
and the Seattle Newspaper Union
Above were ID. A. Boehme's cigar man
ufacturing establishment and various
smaller concerns.
Apparently the fire originated from
causes unknown in the rear of the to-
bacco concern, which is on the second
floor.
The source of the fire was most diff.
ficult to locate. In order to accom-.
plish results it was necessary to flood
the building with water, which did
probably more damage than the fire it.

Even after the chair announced that
the name of Tom l.. johnson was the
only one before the convention for gov

norman votes on the motion to make
the nomination unanimous, but the

MACEDONIANS WILL ASK FOR IN

Speakers at Mass Meeting De-
clare That Unless Action Is
Soon Taken There Will BE NO
One Left to Save-.List of Out
RACES Issued.

Sofia. Aug. 27.-.An immense mass
meeting of Macedonians took place here
Yesterday. The proceedings were most
enthusiastic, 1t was resolved that a
memorandum should be presented to
the representatives of the great powers
at Sofia urging their governments to
take action. The recent visit of the
Russian squadron to Turkish waters
WAS much commented on at the meet
ing. It.was described as moment
OF susnhine which quickly passed.
The speakers made impassioned ap-
peals for the Intervention of the powers
in Macedonia, declaring that if the
pouring out of blood in Macedonia con-
tinued another fortnight, Europe would
find nobody there to save. The Bulga
rian ministers were urged not to stand
by while their brethren were dying in
Macedonia.
The gathering was the largest yet
held in Sofia. Most of the shops were
closed during the meeting, as mark OF
sympathy with it's objects. Resolutions
were adopted thanking the puhlicists
who have defended the cause of the
Macedonians, regretting the hesitation
on the part of Europe to take steps to
ameliorate the lot of the Christians in
Turkey, demanding the appointment of
powerful Christian governor who
would insure security for the country,
and inviting all Bulgarians to aid in
securing the triumph of the work al
ready begun.
List of Outrages Issued.
The Macedonian committee has issued
black bordered list of seventy villages
which have been pillaged and destroyed
in the valley of Monastir, to which are

NOT WIND ENOUGH.
Reliance Again Far Ahead, but
Failed to Finish Inside
Time Limit.

New York, Aug. 28.-With the Reli-
ance less than third of a mile from
the finish and the Shamrock III hull
down on the horizon, fully two miles
astern of the gallant defender, the
fourth race of the present series fol the
Americas cup was decalred off because
OF the expiration of the time limit OF
five and half hours, as happened on
Thursday last.
Although officially it was no race,
the defeat administered to the chsl-
lenger was 30 ignominious that what
ever lingering hope remained in the
breast of the friends of the Shamrock
III vanished. The Reilance's victory
was in every way more decisive than
that OF last Saturday. The Shamrock
was outsailed, outpointed and outfooted
from start to finish.
Reliance beat Shamrock bopelessly
in the fifteen miles of windward work,
rounding the outer mark twelve min
utes and thirty seconds ahead of her,
gain in actual time of eleven minutes
twenty nine seconds, and down the
wind she steadily increased her lead.
The real race of the day was not
against Shamrock, but was in the ex-
citing struggle of the Reliance in the
last BALI hour to reach the finish line
before the regatta committee fired the
gun which should announce the expirs.
ton Of the time limit. Had the vino
freshende twenty minutes sooner than
it did, the cup series would have epde'
with three straight wins for the deieno,
er, and the Shamrock would have saiieu
back to England one of the most worsI'
ed challengers in the history OF ths
Americas cup contests.
