next Turning to the wall behind her,
she saw that another hole had been
bored in n similar position through to
room b. The car had been pretty thor
oughly prepared for the work in hand,
and Jennie laughed softly to herself az
she pictured the discontinue of the con
spirators. The train was now rushing
through the suburbs of ST. Petersburg,
and Jennie was startled by hearing an
other voice say in French:
Conductor, have room A. Which
end of the car is thatY"
"This way, excellency," said the con
ductor. Every one seemed to be "cx-
cellency" with him.
A moment later Jennie, who had
again risen to her feet, Mortified to
know that after all the messenger had
come, heard the door of his room click.
She stood there for few moments tense
with excitement then bethought her
self Of the hole between her present
compartment and the one she had re-
Gently left She spraug mp on the seat
and, placing her eye with some caution
at the hole, peered through. First she
thought the compartment was empty.
Then she noticed there had been placed
at the end by the window huge CYL,
der that reached nearly to the ceiling Of
the room. The lamp above was burning
brightly, and she could see every detail
Of the compartment except toward the
floor AS she gazed "A mans back slowl Y
rose. He appeared to have been kneel-
ing or the floor, and he held in his hand
the loop Of a rubber tube. Peering
downward, she saw that 1t was con
nected with the cylinder and that it
was undoubtedly pouring whatever gas
the cylinder contained through the hole
into room A. For moment she had
difficulty In REFRESHING shrek, but
realizing how perfectly helpless she was.
even If she gave the alarm, she depressed
all exclamation. She saw that the man
who was regulating the escape Of gas
was not the one who had spoken to the
conductor. Then, fearing that he might
turn his head and see her eye at the
small aperture, she reached up and coy
cred her lamp, leaving her own room in
complete darkness. The double covering,
| which closed over the semiglobular
lamp like an eyelid kept every ray Of
/ light from penetrating into the com

AS Jennie turned TO her espionage
again she heard blow given to the
| door in room A that made II clatter.

on the floor The door Of room Il was
flung open. the head Of the first Russian
was thrust in, and he spoke in his owr
language a single gruff word. His as

Of the special messenger that they con-

was added the watchfulness OF one or

little liking for the task she had under

the less it commended itself to her
Nevertheless, having pledged her word
to the editor, if failure came it would
be through no fault of hers
Jennie went early to the station on
the night Of the 21st and entered the
sleeping car as soon as she was allowed
to do So The conductor seemed some
what hustered at her anxiety to get to
her room, and he examined her ticket
with great care. Then, telling her to
follow him, he took her to room b, in
which were situated berths 3 and g.
upper and lower. The berths were not
made up, and the room showed one seat,
made to accommodate two persons. The
conductor went out on the platform
again, and Jennie, finding herself alone
in the carriage, walked up and down
the narrow passageway at the side to
get better idea of her surroundings.
Room G, ext to her own, was the
one taken by the British embassy
Room D, still farther on, was the one
that appeared to have been retained by
the police. She stood for few moments
by the broad plate glass window that
| lined the passage and looked out at the
crowded platform. For time she
watched the conductor, who seemed to
be gazing anxiously toward the direc-
ton from which passengers streamed, as
If looking for some one in particular.

NEW IN SONG BOOMING.

Audience IL the Latest Boost

The demonstration is the latest aid OF
b song publisher, and appears In va
I'D forms. He journeys through the
raj districts singing gratuitously for
delight of the natives the songs that
employers publish; and he is also
own in more metropolitan circles,
Us the New York Sun.
/New York has seen the demonstra-
in theatrical performance, and has
always recognized him. His most
pular incarnation several years ago
IS in the form of some lusty young
er who shouted vociferously from his
rial perch in the gallery in the cho-
S of the latest popular song.
His salary was usually paid by the
blisher Of the song, and his presence
hs agreeable, Of course, to the sing
and the management, as he helped
png the song and the show, until he
came such a bore that he had to be
oppressed.
Now the demonstration has appeared
a new and more virulent form. In
current musical farce there is tough
ing of no particular attractiveness. It's
st verse and chorus pass with little
plause.
Then five persons seated In the fourth
W Of the orchestra solemnly rise in
cir places, and, turning to face the
ldience, begin to sing the refrain.
Two are girls, quietly dressed, rather
city and quite inconspicuous. The
rec men with them are always in even
e dress. The appearance of the party
build not attract the attention of the
|dience under ordinary circumstances,
I'D their sudden rising to burst into
ing is the more surprising for that

that the defendant be committed. Rob-
ertson called Miss Gertz, who took
the prisoners confession, but Chilling
worth objected to- the defendant call
i.g any witnesses. He said the ex-
animation was simply to ascertain
whether a jury of the country had rea-
sonable ground for conviction upon the
evidence, and that the district court
did not have jurisdiction to find the
defendant guilty. Judge Lindsay
overruled the objection.
Miss Gertz simply testified to taking
the statement, and said she did not
come into the room until the defend
ant had been cautioned by the deputy.
Judge Lindsay committed the defend
ant TO the First Circuit Court for trial.

TOOK FLOWERS
FROM a GRAVE

Luka Paaluhi was arrested last
night on a peculiar charge. The war
rant charges her with being a COM
mon nuisance, but the complaint filed
alleges that she destroyed the flowers
upon the grave of Kahale Kalimape-
hu's child in Manoa.
The complaint says Luka did that
which is a public outrage and against
common decency and morality and
plainly hurtful to the public, to-wit,
disturb the dead, towit, by digging
away the dirt from the grave of your
atlantis child, in said Manoa. de-
stroying the flowers on said grave and
doing other hideous and wicked acts
on and to said grave"
The woman said last night when she
was arrested, that she had been car
ing for the grave and keeping it clear
of weeds. She also stated that she had
a sweet potato patch near the grave
which the complainant had destroyed

sail area, to all comers. Japan, In
the light of its recent challenge to
America, Is the country particularly
aimed at and if the proposition goes
through successfully, it is the present
intention TO take steps to secure a
challenge for the first race from the
land of the Chrysanthemum.
The idea was originally mooted by
Charles d. Walker owner of the third
class crack Defiance. built by the firm
of Walker Brothers. Taking up the
question of Japan's challenge Mr..
Walker, himself born in Japan. drew
attention to the great interest in yacht
racing in Toxic Bay off Yokohama,
where many speedy boats compete in
regattas against craft from Kobe,
Many of these boats are excellent ra-
GERS discarded after a season by New
York yachtsmen and shipped to Japan.
Allan Dunn, chairman of the regatta
committee of the Hawaii Yacht Club,
took up the matter and succeeded in
arousing considerable interest in the
scheme. The Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee convinced of the vast extent of
free advertising that such enterprise
would shower upon the Territory, have
agreed to canvass for and procure
funds for the Pacific Challenge Cup, a
trophy which would cost in the neigh
borhood of $500.
The races would be sailed under Ha-
waii Yacht Club rules. The boat
would be, not an expensive machine
like the Reliance or the Shamrock, but
of dimensions similar to the conditions
of the Canadian Challenge Cup regu
larly competed for by American skip
pers. The initial cost would be borne
by a syndicate of local yachtsmen and
the cost should not be greater than
$4,000 for boat designed and built by
the best men in the profession. It is
quite possible that a racer of the req
uisite dimensions could be procured
second hand from some club that had
built such a craft for a particular pur-
pose and had lost it's utility, after the
regatta. Such bargains are often
picked up and the yacht could readily

Hawaii may yet emulate the New
York Yacht Club in the issuance of an
open Challenge cup and achieve some
need of the distinction and world wide
advertisement accruing from such con-
nections. In the local instance, how
ever, the original challenge will come
from the American side.
A proposal, which seems to have
considerable vitality, has been made
by which Hawaii will build or procure
modern racing boat of wholesome
yachting lines and will further put
up cup to be called the Pacific Chal-
lenge Cup, open, under certain restric-
tions of waterline, displacement and

CHINESE SUPPORT
TOURIST PLANS

The first out-of town promise Of
support for the Hawaii Promotion
Committee came to hand from a Chi
nese contributor, a rice planter on Mo-
lokai. Cash in advance for twelve
months accompanies the letter and
promise of regular support.
See Vii Shan is rice planter of
Wailua, Molokai, who, in response to
the invitations extended by the Pro-
motion Committee to all those who
have the interests of the Territory
sufficiently at heart to subscribe
money for bringing tourists and for
generally advertising Hawaii, prompt
ly responded.
In his letter, couched in excellent
English, he states his appreciation of
the movement and expresses his will
ingness to help to the best of his
capacity. "I would like" says Mr..
See, "to contribute one dollar ner
month and beg to enclose a money or
der for s12 in advance payment for
one year.
The committee appreciates the senti-
ment which inspires the rice planter,
who is presumably a naturalized cit
izen farmer. Such amounts while but
a small burden to the individual will
realize very handsome sum in the
aggregate. The example thus set by
a man belonging TO class from whom
not much was expected, will, they
trust. be emula ted very generally.
