Ter,imony Of Carnegie,

In an address delivered at Pittsburg
some years ago to young men, Mr.. Carnegie
laid great stress upon the necessity OF
avoiding strong drink. lie said IN part: I
ouise, but a man who knows and tells you
What observation has proved to him, and
/ saw to you that you are more likely to
fail in your career from acquiring the habit
OF drinking liquor than from any Of tho
other temptations likely to assail you.
You may yield to almost any other temp
tation and reform, but from the insane
thirst for lisuor Is almost impossible. I
have known but of few exceptions to this
rule"

A sentence of $500 fine and three
months Imprisonment in Oahu Jail at
hard labor was imposed by Judge Will
cox yesterday upon Makaena, a man
ufacturer of okolehao, against the law
of the land. 1t was the lowest sem
tence that could be meted out to the
offender, who Tor the second time has
been found guilty of the charge. His
companion, a woman named kuuiahe,
who was discovered with Makaena
while working at an imu in upper Ma
kiki near Tantalus, looking after taro
root being cooked, was not given SEN
tence, or rather sentence was suspend
ed for thirteen months. When arrest
ed, the latter part of March, the wom-
an was attired in mems clothes the
better to work in the field.
Makaena told some tall fish stories on
the witness stand, denying all partici-
patton in the manufacture of the oko-
lehao, although bottles, carboys and
distilling apparatus We're found in his
house. He attempted to lay the blame
on another man, but his tales were
such that Judge Wilcox found no diff

De MAND FOR THE
BEER LICENSES

Treasurer Kepoikai has already re-
ceived thirteen applications for beer
licenses under the law which has pass
ed both Houses, but has not yet been
signed by Governor Dole. Among the
applicants for a license is Henry c.
Vida, representative for the Fifth Dis
trict.
The bill provides for the issuance of
licenses to sell beer at the rate of $3.50
per year. 1t is to take the place of the
old Primo beer law which was declared
by Judge Estee to be unconstitutional.
The new law permits the sale of every
kind of beer, either brewed in Homo
lulu or in the States.
There is said to be some opposition
to the bill. The Governor has had it
but a few days.

ON
HACK BILL
The japanese Jehus Are
Advised to
Donate.

without eNdeavoring to implicate
members of the Legislature, the follow
ing interesting account of two CONVEX
sations . printed in the Weekly Hawa-
iian Shihpo, the Japanese newspaper:
In connection with the hack bill
agitation, we are in possession Of sew
eral interesting stories which, If dis
closed, would throw good deal of light
upon the motive of certain persons in
regard to this affair When the bill
made its first appearance in the Legis-
lature certain Home Rule native, who
had been only recently licensed to
practice law in the district court, APP
preached the president of the japanese
Hackmen's Union and advanced the
following remarkable proposition, to-
wit, that If the Union should place a
certain amount of it's funds at his dis
posal he knew he could, by judiciously
sprinkling the same among certain
circle, easily kill the bill He knew to
a certainty that he could fix at least
seventeen of them people, Inasmuch,
however, as the union could not stand
a special tax of five thousand dollars
every two years, which was the pro-
posed amount, the head of the Japanese
Hackmen's Union declined to accede to
this kind offer.
Again, just after the bill passed
second reading in the House, another
Home Rule lawyers made his appear
ance, this time in this office, and de-
clared that he knew an easier way Of
defeating this bill. He said it was fool
ish and only wasting time to send
petitions to the Legislature against the
proposed legislation. That would be
just like throwing cold water on the
back of a duck. The only remedy was
to doctor some of them. He knew he
could do 50, as most of them belonged
to his party anyway. He was going
to call a meeting of the Chinese hack
men the same evening and to make
the proposition to them. He would
like to see the japanese also join
in this maneuver. After having eX-
pressed our hope for his success In
his scheme among the Chinese, we
politely escorted the diplomat out of
our office. Later on when we met him
in the street and asked him about the
of the Chinese hackmen, he
coldly replied that he had nothing more
to do with the crowd. That explains
what success he had with his friends,
the Celestial drivers"

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

a II no TIME hes the eastern sltua-
"A ton been so pregnant with war
possibilities as at present. Russia
seems determined to force Japan into
a conflict that must inevitably end in
disaster FOR the japanese. This has
been the policy Of the Russians from
the outset. They have made numberless
promises in regard TO the evacuation
Of Manchuria and other matters and as
regularly as the promises have been
made the Russians have disregarded
them
Japan has pluckiIy stood out for her
rights. 80 ultimatum has been sent to
Russia and no overt act of war has
been undertaken by either nation, but
it IS known that both are preparing
for conflict. A few days since word
came from the Russian department OF
finance than an attempt would be made
TO float a loan of 10000. 600 roubles. AS
there is no justification for such a loan
other than the possibility of war it is
apparent that Russia is making ready.
on the other hand there has been
great activity recently in the japanese
army and navy. If war should be de-
clared tomorrow the japanese would be

De for such a conflict And if war
Ioes come the Japs may show their
opponents that they know more than a.

victory for the japanese would not be
Impossible.
But the war cannot be a naval war
entirely. The greater part OF it win
naturally be conducted on the disputed
territory and there the Japanese will
be at tremendous disadvantage. This
because Russia can crush the Japanese

can put twenty men I'm the field where
