DENIES THE REPORT.
Is Not the Representative of Such
LARGE Interests.

Denver, July 22.-The statement was
published here this afternoon that John
c. Osgood. who recently resigned the
position of chairman of the board of di-
rectors Of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company had been made general western
director OF the Rockefeller and Could in
terests with control of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company and also the Denver
and Rio Grande Railway company. This
was formally denied by Mr. Osgood in
the following statement given out to-
night:
The statement in an evening paper
that l am to be general western direc-
tor Of the Rockefeller and Gould inter-
ests is almost too ridiculous to call for
repiy II is certainly fattering TO sug-
gest me for such a position. but there is
absolutely no foundation for the story.
/ have no connection with any OF Mr..
Rockefener's or Mr.. Goulds interests as
their representative.

BOARD WON'T ACT.
Will Make Mo Reductions on Account
of the Flood.

Topeka, Kan. July 22.-The State Board
of Equalization has commenced the ad-
justing of the assessed valuations Of the
various counties in the state. No reduc-
tions in valuation of counties will be
made on account of flood damages for
the reason that the legislature, at the
recent special session, passed law au-
thorizing the commissioners of counties
in the flooded districts to abate taxes
of flood sufferers where deemed advis-
able 1t is probable that the real estate
valuations in number of counties will
be materially increased, it being the idea
of the members of the board. it is IN
derstoo-. that the assessments are now
mucn too low.

Washington Officials Stand
Pat on the Statement.
SATISFACTORY ASSURANCE
Secretary Hay Claims a Per-
feet Understanding.

Washington. July 22.-Notwithstanding
the publication OF dispatches from vari-
Gus foreign cities questioning the extent
of the promises made to the American
government by China and Russia re-
specting Manchuria the officials here posi-
lively decline TO add to or take one word
from the statement published from Wash
ington just before the departure OF Sec
rotary Hay 10 theeffect that satisgac-
tory assurances had been received that
two or more Manchurian ports woudld be
opened to that woilds trade. II is said
that Chan which is here regarded as
the sovereign power in Manchuria, made
these pledges and il is equally certain
that the United States government fully
intends that they shall be kept. The de-
tails referred TO in the Original state
ment as requiring adjustment are stu
unsettled but the state department is ia
tient. resting in full confidence of the
opening of the ports required within
reasonable length of time. II is true, as
stated in the London dispatches, that
Japan looks with suspicion upon the
Russian pledges relative to Manchuria
and has intimated 10 the state depart
ment that they are not satisfactory, but
so far the department sees no reason to
accept that view. .
Washington. July 22.-Inasmuch as the
Chinese government very recently has
expressed it's willingness to yield to the
desires Of the United States for open
ports in Manchuria. the officials here are
at loss to understand the commun1ca-
ton sent by Prince Ching to ASNlster
Conger refusing this conceitsion. They
have received no advices on the subject
The Importance of the communication II
1t accurately reflects the attitude of the
Chinese government, is fully realized in
Washington However, impressed with
the heretofore expressed willingness of
China TO open Manchurian ports, rein
forced by the assurances given TO this
government by Russia along the same
lines. the officials continue firm in their
belief that the situation ultimately will
be clarified and the efforts of the United
States be rewarded. In some quarters II
is regarded as mere diplomatic question
designed perhaps to placate Russia NO
matter what fresh obstacle may inter-
vene, our government, firm in the con-
viction that the principle of the open
door in China should be enjoyed by all
nations. will continue to exert its infiu-
ence in that direction.
Pekin. July 22.-Prince Ching. the pres
ident Of the foreign Office. has written 10
United States Minister Conger. refusing
to open towns in Manchuria. In his
letter he dwells upon the impossibiiity
of China opening to foreigners towns
which are not in her possession but
which are held by Russian troops. and
pont. out the complications which would
be likely to follow.
1t is believed here. however. that
compromise may be reached by includ-
ing one town-Ta Tung Kao-in the new
commercial treaty.

Attorney General Andrews is in
discreet in toying with Judge George
A Davis. When Davis swells up
and looks like "I'se gittin' dapg'ous"
he means just what he looks, and
Andrews should know that. Davis
has long line OF ancestry dating
back to the second cook of the Ma y
Aower) to defend and he will allow
no upstart like Lorrin Andrews to
tread on his bunions, 'Sdesth," :"
says Davis, with his hand on his
pistol pocket and forty-seven hum
dred wrinkles on his perturbed brow.
Aud Audrews-foolhardy LorTin-
stands there like a kid, unmindful
that he is in "the jaws OF DEATH" in
the very mouth of hell" and calls
it a "bluff" Andrews surely does
not realize his danger, or he would
tremble all day and we'll into the
night. Some friend should give him
quiet nudge that Davis and Bunker
Hill are synonymous terms aud that
he is Boston town about now.

II need be, have the spot beauti6ed.
1t would be shame to allow that
stone to be broken up.

That Lieutenant Newton is an all
round good fellow aud valuable
factor in furihering sports and other
worthy pastimes of Honolulu life is
most cheerfully admitted. But in
dealing with the National Guard
the Lieutenant must remember that
he is not handling regulars-not
handling paid men who are in the
service as public servants for q living.
The military system here has for
some Tina been exceedingly slack.
There has not been the proper
standard of diciplins, nor the proper
respect on the part of men for their
officers. Officers should demand
respect and are entitled TO it. But
'cuss" words form a mighty poor
scheme to work on. We know of
nothing that will deplete the ranks
of the Hawaiian National Guard, or
the National Guard OF any State,
for the matter of that, quicker than
the unseemiy tactics of Lieutenant
Newton.
