Not Guess Work, But Facts.

The statement Of the Phoenix Saw
ings, Building & Loan Association of
California, which will appear in the
Advertiser at the end of this week, is
conclusive evidence of its stability,
popularity and the absolute confidence
reposed in it by the sound thinking
people of the different parts of the
United States. Particularly so is this
true of the Pacific Coasts large finan-
ciers, as wei as the small investors.
This confidence has been induced be-
cause they do not guarantee more than
is consistent with good financial judg-
ment of the best known and most con-
servative bankers, business and profess
sional men in the United States.
However, what we do guarantee is
backed by not only a large permanent
capital, but also by the reputation of
the men at the head and in the man
agement of the concern.

THE POSITION OF CHINA.

The abject position OF China in
crisis which means the probable dis
memberment of her ancient empire
shows more clearly than anything else
has ever done how little patriotism and
pride Of nationality the Chinese race
nossesses. Here is an instance where
the issue is whether China shall keep
the vast province OF Manchuria or lose
II 10 Russia. Such a question presented
70 any Western nation would mean
emphatic policies and in the end war
to the knife. The loss to Germany by
France of two small districts. which oc-
Cured at the close Of desperate war
has kept the politics of central Europe
in a feverish mood for thirty years:
and France would fight to recover her
lost ground tomorrow If she thought
she had a ghost of a show. The parti-
ton of Poland, against which the Poles
fought to the last ditch, is an occasion
of bitterness to this day. Yet when
China is threatened with the loss of
her richest province she sits supinely
by, Indifferent to fate, and let's Japan
and Russia quarrel over her territorial
rights One would think that she would
take arms to assist Japan, but it is
quite within the realm of probability,
IL war should come, that she would
either keep aloof or sell her services
to the power that paid her best for it.
1t seems impossible that country
Ike china-pot a nation but a loose
confederacy OF Mongol tribes, group
of .cousins-should long hold together I
against the assaults of western cupidity |
and greed. Isolation has given each !
province its special dialect and special |
interests; so that the people of one prov |
people of another. There is no getting |
together for offence or defence, no |
no common ties, nothing |
that produces political solidarity.
Hence a general weakness which, when |
viewed with the wealth of China, real |
and potential. makes it probable that !
the whole empire viii yet succumb to
the greed of western nations.
Furthermore, if the great country is |
to be cut up. giving the pieces to Great |
Britain, France, Germany, Russia and |
Japan, the time to do the work is now.
For if Russia should worst japan in
the coming war, she would probably |
take Korea and expand towards South |
China. eventually getting the whole
empire. If war could be prevented and |
a fair division of the vast, inert mass
called China be made-a division that
would give Russia Manchuria, Japan
Korea, Germany Shantung. England
the Yang-tse country and France the
southern provinces-probably much fu-
ture trouble would be avoided. Such
partition could bak excused on the
ground that China, left to herself, can
not keep her independence and does
not particularly care if she loses it.

A Deiuge Of Beans.

Paul Isenberg has come to the con-
clusion that every Portuguese boy in
Honolulu reads the Advertiser. Since
the article which appeared some time
ago in this paper about his willingness
to buy all the bags of algaroba beans
which were brought to him, paying fif-
teen cents a bag, there is a constant
stream of small boys bringing beans
and gathering a silver shower. They
have evidently secured the town, for at
the rate the beans are coming in at
present, it will soon become necessary
for Isenberg to build barn to keep
them in. Isenberg might get all his
money back if he had a good eye for
business. The boys after receiving
their loose change Immediately start a
crap game or some other gambling en-
tertainment. Isenberg has only to open
a pea and shell game under his own
supervision, and the money spent on
algaroba beans would soon return to
his pocket. In that way he might be
the father of two new industries in
these Islands.

HOTELS AND TOURISTS.

II Is fortunate for Hawaii that so
much has been done to make it ready
for tourists before sending for them.
First. fine big passenger steamers were
provided, thus increasing the comforts
and Iessening the time of the trip
down; then came the cable which gave
strangers a chance to keep in touch
with home interests and with the news
of the world; and now, as the climax
to a series of improvements in places Oh
public entertainment such as the en-
Iarged Hawaiian and the beautiful Mo-
ana. comes the Alexander Young hotel.
The value of this magnificent place
the WaIdorf-Astoria of the Pacihc-is
two-foId. 1t will draw tourists here by
assuring them of all the hotel COM
forts than can be found on the main
land; and it will keep them here by
hospitality which already, before the
formal opening Of the hotel, shows it
self in the details of management. The
Advertiser believes that the Alexander
Young hotel Will prove to be one OF
the best tourist investments Honolulu
has ever made Among the first ques-
lions stranger asks when advised to
visit a distant place are those about
hotel accommodations. Are they mod
ern and Of reasonable price? 1t was to
meet such inquiries that the govern
Iment OF the monarchy built the Royal
Hawaiian and Mr.. Peacock the Moana;
and it is to meet them as well as any
hotel on the Pacific Coast could do it
that Alexander Young reared the CO.
IossaI structure that bears his name.
san Francisco would have been adorn-
ed by this hotel, which presents
greater front than the Emporium
building itself; and New York has
hotels of national reputation which are
not so large nor so modern in their
fittings.
That Honolulu will get special bene-
fits from 1t goes without the saying;
and we trust that it will return the
favor in kind by helping make Mr..
Young's great enterprise a success.

army improvements. Representative
McCleary spent the entire day previous
to his departure on an inspection of the
naval station site at Pearl Harbor and
in an investigation of the needs of the

Major Mcclellan on Thursday and
showed also the site of the fortifica-

naval launch was placed at the dis
posal of the party by Captain Rod
man who was himself unable to go.
Mr.. McCleary also expressed himself
very forcibly as TO the needs of Hawaii,
and was much impressed with the need
of coast defenses for Oahu, which is
the half way station between the main
land and the Philippines. McCleary is
a member of the House Committee on
appropriations and as all Hawaiian
items must be passed upon by that
committee naturally is much interest

MAGOON AND DAVIS.

IT has come at last. Yesterday ]. A.
Maeoon and George A Davis were
cited to appear before the Supreme

preme Court, by the Acknowledgement.
They are summoned to explain alleged
unprofessional and fraudulent conduct
toward a client
George A. Davis, in a grandstand
play against the Acknowledgement, as
sumes that the latter is his accuser.

Davis's accuser is John X Sumner:

CATION are the judges OF the Supreme
Court: the Attorney-Gene as the

carried out the courts directions. AS
to this the issue cannot be clouded even
though Davis, in his rage, showers pa
per petitions by the square mile and
raises a dust of accusation against
other people all the way from Diamond
Head to Waialua. AS to the other peo-
pie, IL the Supreme Court wants in
quiries made about them. the Attorney
General is at their service. But his
has not been the initiative in any of
these disbarTnent cases.
Now that the matter is in the courts.
this journal will not discuss it further,
but will, in closing its columns to edi-
torial criticism of the accused men,
content itself with congratulating the
public that Hawaii has a Supreme
bench which may be trusted to punish
blackmail, IL the crime exists, and
brand blackmailers, IL any there are
within the Jurisdiction of the court.

The Kitten and the Hatpin.

small kitten, the property of John
NJ. Yore, 10 First avenue. st. Joseph.
Mich, is dead. That fact itself is not
startling, but the manner of the kittens
death is so unusual that it has aroused
much interest on the part of neighbors,
physicians and veterinarians in this
city.
The kitten, in a moment of excessive
playfulness twelve days ago, swallowed
a hatpin. The animal was only four
months old, and of the usual size for
such an age. The hatpin was seven
inches long. with a stone head Mr..
Yore noticed the kitten playing with
the ornament, which came from his
daughters hat. Soon afterward the
pin was missing. Search was futile
and the kitten, which continued to be
as sportive as ever. gave no symptoms
of distress until few days ago. when
it became i'll and subject to fits This
started a controversy in the household.
One side asserted that the kitten had
swallowed the hatpin. The other ridi-
culed the idea as physically impossible.
Neither would weaken, however, and
finally Mr.. Yore became convinced
that the only means of solution of the
mystery lay in a searching examina-
tion Of pussy's anatomy. No X-ray
being handy. chloroform and a is-ife
were used. The result was the recov-
cry of the hatDin at the cost of the
cats life. The pin had been swallowed,
its white head going down first, the
metal body following until the point
found lodging place in the
animals throat. Before the dis
section took lace the case was
placed before a physician and two
veterinarians. In their opinion they
declared that the kitten could not have
swallowed a pin of such length. Later
when the pin was produced and shown
to them they expressed much aston

Polar Bears on Icebergs.

The passengers and crew of the
North German Lloyd steamship Han
mover, Captain Jacobs, which arrived
yesterday from Bremen, were treated
to novel spectacle a few days ago,
while off Newfoundland Banks. where
a large iceberg was sighted, and on the
great mountain of ice, perambulating
about from cliff TO cliff, were six. large
polar bears. The berg was several
miles from the Hanover, but the bears
were plainly visible with the naked eye
to those On the Vess1, but through a
glass the huge animals could be seen
swinging their ponderous heads to and
fro as thev walked about on their
floating home. How the bears got on
the berg and their probable fate afford
ed food for much speculation among
the passengers as they stood on the
deck and watched the mountain of ice
and it's prisoners growing smaller in
the distance as night came on. Spring
is the usual season for tcebergs, and
the presence of the piece of an Arctic
glacier on the Atlantic at this time of

Joy of the Holiday Occasion

Christmastide flowed merrily in
United States Commissioner Heacock's
court yesterday. The Judge had an
nounced in the beginning of the week
that he intended to take a ten days
vacation, and when a procession of
lawyers walked in at 10 o'clock yes
terday forenoon his countenance fell
at the prospect of more work on the
eve of the great Christmas holiday.
What do they mean by coming in
here with more business when they
know 1 want to get away on my vaca-
ton ?" he muttered under his breath.

thor of L. o. o." stepped forward
and began to spout hot air. Before
the Judge could recover from his
amazement Mr.. Brusie, in the name
of the United States District Attor-
ney's Office and of the lawyers prac-
ticing before the court, presented the
upright Judge with a beautiful cut
crystal water set with silver trim
mings. Mr.. Brusie made a flowery
speech on behalf of the members of

timents of esteem and confidence.
Then D. D. Jones, better known as

surprise. Mr.. Jones is a Welshman,
but he speaks Chinese as well. In his
official capacity as Chinese interpreter
for the District Attorneys Office and
in his personal capacity as managing

titled "Mongolian Pagans Snatched
