HER FOREIGN RELATIONS
Were Touched Up by One of Great
Britain's Radicals.

London, July 23.-When the House
of Commons was in committee to-day
or the foreign Office vote, Sir Charles
Dixie advanced RadicaD, assailed the
foreign policy of the government. which
he said was strangely inconsistent. He
compared the recent visit of King Ed
ward to France and President Loubet's
return visit to England with the govern
ment's attitude towards Germany, and
accused the government of cringing TO
Germany IN the Venezuelan matter
and of ALLOWING themselves to be
hoodwinked"
The under foreign secretary. Lord
Cranborne. replying, said the German
Emperor had nothing whatever to do,
directly or indirectly. with the COM
munications in regard to the Corpora
ton of Great Britain and Germany in
the Venezuelan affair.
Continuing, the under secretary of
the foreign office denied that Great
Britain was getting the worst of it
In Manchuria, where, he said, Great
Britain recognized the open door policy.
The criticism of the governments
foreign policy continued at the even
ing session. Joseph Walton, Liberal,
who strongly favors an extension of
British trade by means of colonial
development, accused the government
of a succession of humiliating surren-
ders in China. He said the, time had
arrived for facing the situation in
Manchuria and New Chwang
The under secretary for the Foreign
Office, Lord Cranborne, ! in reply, said
that British trade in China was still
increasing at a satisfactory rate, and
he was confident of securing a full
share of railway and other valuable
concessions
The government, he said, was fully
aware of the position Of Manchuria.
The great difficulty up to the present
time in negotiating with Russia was
that Great Britain had never yet been
able to ascertain exactly what the
Russian government wanted, and the
fact remained that Manchuria was still
occupied. Russias failure to fulfil her
undertaking, he said, was satisfactory
neither to Great Britain, Japan or the
United States.
Besides alluding to the Car as des-
not. Lord Cranborne made an indis-
Greet reference to France, and John
Redmond tried to make 1t appear that
the British government had suffered a
rebuff in it's representations to France
in behalf of the expelled monks. In re-
plying Lord Cranborne said that he
was not surprised at Mr.. Redmonds
remarks. and that he must agree with
him In deploring what had occurred.
Lord Cranborne's remarks were the
subject OF special comment, because or

weeks back.
The reason for this suggestion is

self to open two or more ports in Man
chura. 1t is not deemed proper here
to indicate how these pledges were con-
Neyed, whether through Mr. Conger at
Pekin or the Chinese minister here, but
as to the fact there can be no ques-
ton.
Respecting the plea attributed to
China in the Pelin dispatches to the
effect that she cannot open the Man
churian ports because they are in the
possession of Russian troops and OFF,
cials, it is pointed out here that as sew
eral weeks and even months must nee
essarily elapse before the new treaty
can be made and become operative,
there will be ample opportunity for the
Russians to evacuate the desired ports,

Paris, July 23-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Paris edition of the
Herald telegraphs that if Cardinal
Rampolla is not elected 1t will be due
to the action of Cardinal Gibbons, who,
it is asserted. in Vatican circles. re-
manned in Paris in order to unite the
French cardinals against him.
Cardinal Matthew is still the most
ardent supporter of Cardinal Rampolla.
The correspondent further asserts
that Cardinal Gibbons has succeeded
in uniting the French cardinals around
Cardinal Richard, with a view Of sup

be a reaction against that of the late
Pontiff. He also says that the alliance
will endeavor at the conclave to en-

London, July 24.-The Daily Mails
Toxic correspondent sends rather an
alarming view of the situation in the
East to his paper.
He says that Russia's retention of
Manchuria, the increase of her feet,
the dispatch of reinforcements to Man
churia, the southwark movement of the
occupying army in Manchuria. and the
defiant conduct on the Corean frontier
alarmed the Japanese, many of whom
are convinced that it would be better
to fight now than risk the eventual
loss of Corea and RELOCATION of Japan
to a secondary place.
He says the Japanese are accumulat-
ing stores and negotiating the pur-
chase of ships; that a squadron is off
Vladivostock, to which port Russian
vessels have been sent as precaution,
and that both fleets are ready for ac-
ton at any moment. The appointment
of Marquis Ito as president of the
Privy Council, the correspondent says,
is favorable to peace. but that Russia
must retreat. or there will be very
grave danger of war.
He says the Japanese believe that
France and England will join in the
expected conflict.

there Is not the slightest evidence that
Russia intends to withdraw or moder-

The Times Toxic despatch published
this morning says that NJ. Pavloff, the
Russian minister to Corea, insists that
the timber telling concession in the
Yalu valley comprises the right 10 con-

that he, therefore. demands compensa-

MAY
ENTER MEXICO
REPORT THAT THE EMBARGO on
COOLIE LABOR IN SOUTHERN
REPUBLIC HAS BEEN RAISED.

The Japan Advertiser of October 20
publishes the following:
The China Commercial Steamship
Company, operating steamers to this
port, has won out in it's fight for the
right to land Chinese coolie laborers in
Mexico, and is now in position to
enter into the freight rate war with the
Pacific Mail Company and it's allies on
an equal footing.
The news of the intention of the Mex
lean Government to permit Chinese to
land on it's soil was received by steam
ship officials in this city last night
The concession from the Mexican Gov
eminent to the China Commercial
Steamship Company grants the COM
pany the right to land coolies in the
country only through the port of Man
zanillo. 1t further stipulates that the
China Commercial Company shall
build a big detention shed at Manzanil-
10 which is to be under the jurisdiction
of the Mexican Government.
The efforts of the China Commercial
Company to secure the right to land
coolies in Mexico has been watched
with considerable interest in this city.
The failure of the efforts meant the
death of the company, and the shipping
men of the city have been anxiously
awaiting the decision of the Mexican
Government.
The China Commercial Company was
inaugurated several months ago. it's
first purpose being the colonization of
Mexico with coolies. The tsteamers
loaded with Mongohans arrived at
Manzanillo, and then the Mexican Gov
eminent revoked the right, whether
through the instigation of the Pacific
Mail Company or not is not known.
The company was left without it's
principal source of revenue. The Paci-
fic Mail Company began to cut freight
rates, and it was predicted that the
Chinese Commercial Company would
be short-lived. Eng Hok Fong, presi-
dent of the company, has been in Mex
| leo for several weeks past negotiating
with the Government, and the success
of his mission gives new life to the
steamship line. In the future the fight
between the Pacific Mail and the Chi
ma Commercial Company will be to the
finish.

ACCOUNT
IN BOND MATTER
RENDERS 4 STATEMENT OF THE
EXPENSES OF HIS TRIP EAST
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

George r. Carter yesterday presented
an account of his expenses on his trip
east in connection with the engraving
of the bonds and their sale. This ac-
count was rendered to the officers of
the territory and to the bankers who
had advanced the money for the pur-
pose.
On leaving here Mr.. Carter received
from the banks that came to the Gov
ernment's assistance letters of credit
amounting to $S60O The proposition of
the United States Mortgage and Trust
Co., received before he left, was for
$11S3 to engrave and print the bonds,
to take care of the advertising and the
receiving of bids, to do the cabling (but
not paying tolls) and to certify the
bonds. This charge for so much work
Mr.. Carter regards as unique. 1t was
provided that any further expense
would have to be borne by the Ter
ritory. Mr.. Carriers bill of expenses
figured up as follows:
Printing of folders and circulars, $2S.
Advertising in three financial papers,
$62.
Dress suit case for carrying bonds,
$12 80.

hill the total expense to the Territory
is S2133.72. With the 5000 for sending
the bonds to New York the grand total
the Territory has to pay on account of
Mr.. Carter's mission is $273S72, besides
which there will be some expenses of
cabling, bat the whole thing ought to
be under $4,000.

SOCIAL SCIENCE.

ga Study in Hawaiian Evolution"
was the subject of paper by Principal
c. B. Dyke of Kamehameha School,
read before the Social Science Asso-
citation at the meeting last night.
The paper dealt for the first time with
the change, by social and chronological
development, of Hawaiians as seen in
Kamehameha Schools here where Mr..
Dyke has had unusual opportunities
for observation in an unlimited field.
The paper brought out interesting facts
bearing on the intellectual and physi-
cal character of Hawaiians in combina-
ton with other bIoods and the Ian
guage of other races, also an inter-
esting study of Hawaiian names. The
statement brought out the recently adj
vanced contention that the rate of
mortality among Hawaiians and part
Hawaiian children is diminishing.

THE STATE FUNERAL.

The Hawaiian Star strenuously OPP
poses the idea of allowing the use of
the capitol building and state funeral

strong and excellent reason to sustain
its position. After all however, it is
a matter of sentiment rather than of
reason, and if it will be any satisfac-

lost leader, they should be permitted
the use of the throne room and all the
paraphernalia available for the pur-
