The political trust in Mississip-

the first trusts the people should

him with telling a lie, and yet

expansion policies of the govern
ment aud the desires Of the chief
executive.
1t begins to look as though that
the demand for Mr.. Cox to become
a candidate for Governor was from
Washington instead of from this

The present Governor is said to

his brother-in-law, Ed Wilson.
1t has often been demonstrated
that the wealthiest citizens are
not always the most valuable ones
in a community. The man who
boards his accumulatiOns and
locks them up from use is more
detriment than benefit to any
place he calls his home. II is the
man with public spirit and a
ready hand to assist in everything
which means the advancement OF
his section generally who is the
most valuable citizen, the citizen
whose last resting place will be
strewn with flowers and visited
by those who succeed him, while

COULD NOT MAKE PORT IN TINE
TO ENTER LAST NIGHT-HAS
BIG CROWD OF PASSENGERS.

With the prettiest lot of women
aboard that have come to this port in
many months, the $. S. Doric arrived
this morning from San Francisco. The
vessel met rough weather the last two
days so did not get in yesterday. There
was no wind but a very high north
west swell struck the vessel. She was
hove to in the Molokai channel last
night the steamer Lenua reporting her.
This is the first time that mail boat
has lain out in the channel in a long
time. Captain Smith knew the vessel
could not enter the harbor even if she
arrived off the port last night, so he
chose to let her lie away from the ISL
and until daylight. Nobody aboard
saw the reflection from the volcano as
the atmosphere was too murky.
The Doric has big list of passengers
aboard. She is so crowded that some
of those who desired to depart today
could not secure accommodations. The
vessel has a full load of freight. The
vessel made the run from San Francis
co in days, 10 hours and II minutes.
Only two passengers stopped over at
Honolulu.

In two island districts outside Of

has been taken up along the same lines
as in Honolulu, as shown by the re-
ports of government physicians for the
month of September. DR.. r. H. Dine
gar, of Kihei and Kula, Maui, reports
that the Honolulu plan is being fol-
lowed, of treating breeding places
with oil, or filling them up.
In Waialua. Oahu, DIR. H. Wood re-
ports some successful work along the
same lines. He says: THE use of
oil has practically killed all the larvae
(mosquito) in the streams of Waialua.
The number of mosquitoes seems I'M
diminished from streams of kuleanas
which have not been touched as yet

The Honolulu campaign is awaiting
funds. A. D. Larnach. who has been
appointed to take charge. is engaged
now in getting the funds together and
is meeting with success. He expects
to be able to take up the work in a
short time.
THE more I study the matter the
more confident l am that successful
work can be DONE" said Larnach. "If
Eastern communities have been sue
cessful in the same kind of work there
is no reason why we cannot do it, If
the public help we shall accomplish a
great deal. / am very anxious to finish
the preparations and begin the actual
work.

CENTRAL AMERICA AND WAR.

I Associated Press. Morning Service.
PANAMA, October, 1.-THE republics
of Guatemala and Nicaragua have
combined for and are making prepara
tions for a war on Salvador and Hon
duras.
A plan to invade San Salvador has
been under consideration for some time
by President Manuel Estrada Cabrera
of Guatemala, who in pursuit of this
idea endeavored to enlist the aid of the
Hondurean Government in war. Hon
duras lies on the south and east of
San Salvador and Guatemala on the
north, and an expedition from each
of these countries would catch San
Salvador between two fires and place
the republic in an interesting predca-
ment.
According to the plans it was in
tended that Guatemala was to have
moved on San Salvador at the close of
the rainy season, which would have
made the date for the move some time
this month. However, the contem-
plated combine with Honduras appears
to have fallen through owing to the
refusal of the President of that re-
public to join hands with Guatemala in
the attempt. The project has by no
means been abandoned by President
/ Cabrera of Guatemala, and consequent
ly news of his combination with Mica
ragua was expected.
San Salvador is more closely con-
nected with Guatemala than any other
Central American country, and is
most easily reached by troops, thus
making it the natural objective point
for expeditions from that country
Honduras is separated from Guatemala
by a range of mountains, which would
render the transport of soldiers a mat
ter attended by much difficulty, but
in the case of San Salvador only a
table land about thirty miles in width
separates the two countries. 1t is pos
sible to travel in a day on horseback
from the capital of Guatemala into
Salvadorian territory, and there would
be no trouble attendant upon the en-
trance of an army into the latter re-
public.

There is an exodus of Chinese and

the threatened war.
The population of Manchuria has
been estimated at 100000, made up of
Chinese, japanese, Koreans, Manchus,
and semi-savages. OF this number
100000 are Manchus, whose chief occu-
patton has always been as soldiers and
many of them are now in the employ
of Russia as local police.
