imposed. declaring that what are now in
progress are pourparlers concerning Tho
act of evacuation itself and the organiza-
ton of the Chinese administration to as

however. is not ready. Russia desires au
assurance that China will maintain a
sufficient police force to suppress local
disorders which are continuous through
out Manchuria, especially in the MOTH

troops remaining in the country have no
object but the maintenance of order
locally until China is able to guarantee
that order will be maintained. The

Roosevelt completed a hard trip today
with a fifteen minutes stop at Alliance
this evening During the day he travel
cd in three States and made number of
addresses both from the rear platform
of his car and from stands erected for
the purpose. A unique demonstration,
and the one that undoubtedly pleased the
President most was the cowboy show at
Edgemond, S. ID. The demonstration was
arranged by the Society of Black Hills
Pioneers and consisted of exhibitions Of
cowboy riding
Special trains brought In a large crowd
from the surrounding country and they
were at the station with three bands Of
music to greet the President. AS his
train pulled in the COW boys let out a
yell The band played and salute was
fired. The exhibition stand was but a
short distance from the station, and
after the President had made an address
the cow boys began riding the bucking
horses, and only horses that would buck
were ridden by the boys. The
President partook of luncheon at the
mess wagon. The only disappointment OF
the day was the failure of the prize buck
ing horse of that section to perform.
This horse has a record as champion
bucker. but few people can ride him. To-
day however, he was as gentle as a
kitten and a green horn would not have
had much trouble in keeping on his back.
At the conclusion of the exercises the
cowboys formed an escort to the train.

alongside the Presidents car and he
shook hands with many of them from the

red shaded candles. and in the center
of the room was the chief decorative
feature-a model of an old time cathe-

chef from sugar.
An elegant repast was served to the

THE MOSQUITO FUND.
[Tne oniciai and Commercial Record

Tine Oficial and Commercial Record.l
The next few days will prove wheth-
er the people of Honolulu mean what
they say, or whether they are talking
through their hats" when they say
they want to get rid of mosquitoes.
The Board of Health has passed res
olutions, the people have had a mass
meeting which passed more resolutions.
executive committee, finance commit
tees have been appointed, and now it
is up to the people to say whether it
shall all end in talk, or whether a bona
fide effort is to be made to secure re-
suits.
Resolutions and committees are good
as far as they go. but they will not
kill mosquitoes. 1t takes muscle and
kerosene oil to do that. and these cost
money. This will cost several nun
dred dollars a month, but the elimina-
ton OF the mosquito from Honolulu So
ciety is worth several thousand dollars
a month.
There are people who think 1t can
not be done. They may be right, but
then again they may be wrong. The
benefit will be so great that it is worth
while to experiment. If unsuccessful
we will have lost a few dollars in e.
good cause. If successful, the result
will be cheap no matter what the cost.
The mosquito finance committee asks
for subscriptions, payable monthly. as
the expense will be a continuing one.
Everyone interested in Honolulu's
health, business and comfort is inter-
ested in this problem.
Honolulu has a reputation for public
spiritedness. This is a good time to
demonstrate that such reputation is
a living fact and not a dead tradition.
The finance committee consists of P.
NJ Pond OF the waterhouse Trust Com
pany. and Ralph Helm of the Pearson.

Subscriptions can be mailed to, or
left with either gentleman.

BETTER THAN THE WEST INDIES.

This will be a good year to induce
people, who have been in the habi.
Of seeking the West Indian tropics,
to change over to Hawaii. Since the
Martinique disaster, the great Porto
Rican hurricane and the recent cy-
clonic visitation to Jamaica, the West
Indian trip has not been popular. Big
steamers. loaded down with excursion
lists, are not likely to be in evidence
there soon again. If it is possible
to convince people that they can find
in Hawaii a greater beauty of scenery
than in the West Indies, a more emol-
lient climate with no danger from vol
canoes or storms. then the result
should be seen in large increase Of
tourist travel this way.
ne facts TO make clear are that the
volcano is additionally tame; that it
acts as an escape valve for gases
which otherwise might cause earth
quakes and that it is situated on an
island about $50 miles from the ore
on which Honolulu is located. Also
that tornadoes are unknown among
the "calms OF Cancer and that the
elements, in their action here are not |
threatening to man.
In fact Hawaii has almost every |
advantage over the West Indian ISL |
ands except proximity to the East /
ern seaboard-more varied scenery, a
more equable climate. better public |
sanitation than is usually found there, |
4 more cosmopolitan people, finer ho-
els. a better table and more modern
comforts OF all kinds.

| In the Fourth Jack Lucas and F. w

the same Office.
| The Republican Executive Committee
is bending all its energies now to get
ting out the vote for Fridays prima-
| ries. Meetings are to be held at the
| same hour in all the precincts in the
| Territory and the committee is anxious
that on the Saturday following as
big a vote as possible be polled. For
this reason, work is being done to get
the citizens interested sufficiently to
attend the primaries, and take a hand
in saying who the nominees shall be.
The Second Precinct Club of the
Fourth District viii meet again tomor-
row evening and discuss county can
didates. At the same time nominal
tions for delegates will be made, and
it is the expectation to instruct
the delegates for whom they shall
vote in the county convention. The
Second Precinct will very likely be the
first to put a county ticket in the field,
for the announcement has quietly gone
forth that prospective candidates are
hands of the Executive Committee of
the club before tomorrow evening. AL
though the nominations for delegates
will be made at this meeting, the
60
at Friday evenings meeting and be
voted upon Saturday.
In most of the precincts, particularly
in the Fifth District. there is opposi-
ton to the plan Of instructing before
hand the delegates that are chosen at
the primary elections. The chief OBJ
lection is that the possible candidates
are not known as yet, and that it |
would be folly to endorse man, weeks
before the convention, who might not
be heard of again. The other objec- |
ton is that it prevents all chances of |
trading or compromises in the conven- |
ton, if the delegates are bound be-
forehand by a hard and fast rule.
The Republican Executive Com
mittee has made arrangements to re-
ceive the list of nominations Friday
evening, and also the results of the
Saturday elections. 1t will require
considerable hard work to have the
tickets ready for the voters
On the day following the nominations
and the committee will assist in this
work as far as is possible.
