The Consistently Mendacious Stay.

Philadelphia Record.
 Russia Is pursuing in regard to Man churia the same diplomatic policy that has marked the history of Muscovy from its beginning The chief feature of this policy is its unblushing mendacity. While protesting to have no desire to attach Manchuria to the Russian Empire. every step of the Government al St. Petersburg in its relations with China has been in that direction. But so familiar are the nations with the methods of Russia that not one of them has been in the least de- ceived by the latest movement of its di- plomacy.

To Whom It May Concern:

We the undersigned Manufacturers
of Carbonated Beverages have formed
an Association for the mutual protec-
ton of our property, viz: bottles and
cases, the loss of which during the
year last past has been enormous, in
fact to such an extent that we have not
been able to pay more than running eX-
penses.
AS matter of business, We will, on
the LIST day of July, 1903 inaugurate a
system whereby strict account of bot
ties delivered to and received from each
dealer in Carbonated Beverages will be
kept, and at the end of each month or
as soon as possible thereafter our au-
thorized agent will balance each bottle
account and should there be a shortage
he will collect for such deficit at the
rate of Five Cents per bottle; we re-
spectfully request each dealer in Car
donated Beverages commonly called
soda Water" to cooperate with us to
the extent of requiring a deposit of
Five Cents per bottle where said bot
ties are taken away from their place
of business.
We shall on the above date discon-
tinue the practice which has been in
vogue for some time of giving any
extra bottles" on each dozen and any
discount on our prices which will be
net The increase in the cost of ma
terial and the loss of bottles has forced
us to make this change in our business
methods.
We thank our patrons for their sup
port in the past and solicit a continu-
ance of the same under the new con-
ditions.

KEPT PRISONER
IN A ROOM
NIGH COMPLAINED THAT COUN-
TRyMEN KEPT HIM ~ ROOM
AND TRIED To ENTORT MONEY.

Three japanese are detained at the
police station to answer to rather a
serious charge Their names are
Saito, SanO and Nakamura.
Nchi rushed breathlessly into the
police station Saturday and asked
the protection of the police. He said
that he had been forcibly detained by
some Japanese in a room at the corner
of Maunakea and Beretania streets
early in the morning. They had tried
to force him to surrender money.
From his statements, it appears that
a Jap went to his place and asked him
to come out. This was after midnight
last night. He refused to go and the
Jap returned. The visitor said several
men wanted to see Nichi. The latter
went out and claims he was seized by
Saito, Sano and Nakamura and taken
to Saito's room on Maunakea and Bere-
tania streets.
Here he was accused of having stolen
the wife of Nakamura. Nichi denied
the impeachment. He was informed
that he would be detained i'm the room
until he paid them $50 or 800 He
said that he did not have the money
but might get it from friend. Later in
the morning he was permitted to go to
| Lovejoy's store on Nuuanu street. He
was followed by Sa'.o. Sano ami Ma
kamura who evidently propose to hold
onto their prey. When Nichi got near
the police station he ran away.
Accompanied by several officers he
went back and effected the arrest #
the trio of Japs. They will he prose-
cuted for having forcibly detained
Nichi in a room.
