 The French press and public are taking the affair calmly. The minis terial press takes the view that the sit uation is due to misunderstanding, ard that if Great Britain establishes the fact that the seized goods are not contraband, then Russia will recognize and redress the error.
 The Journal des Debas tonight says. 'gThe situation does not warrant the violent, passionate feeling the Berlin and London newspapers have shown during the last forty-eight hours. The paper also maintains that the affair will be regulated through diplomatic channels without serious trouble

MERITS OF SMALL FARMING.

This mornings Advertiser, champion
of small farming of all kinds and ever
enthusiastic over the possibilities OF
few acres of land almost anywhere, con-
tains a quotation from the Washington
Star which was meant for the Main
land, but is all too true here. The fol-
lowing is true of the small farmer,
more or less, from Maine TO Califor-
MIA DO you think Bliggins could run
a small farm successfully" Certainly.
Bliggins has several hundred thousand
dollars in bank, and doesn't care how
he spends money."-Star.
The above comes from an article in
which the futility of growing vegetables
here for shipment to California and the
difficulty of selling them in town is
made clear-but not for the first time.
The Advertiser has demonstrated it
over and over again, pointing out that
small farming and market gardening
are two very different things.
The Advertisers idea of small farm
ing in Hawaii is specialized agriculture
for export purposes and staple agricul-
ture for living expenses and small
change In the first category it includes
the growing of bananas, pineapples,
sisal, alligator pears and lines, coffee,
tobacco and vanilla Or anything else that
can be sold on the coast without meet
ing local competition there; in the sec
ond, or home consumption and small
change class, it includes the growing
| of vegetables, berries, grapes (of the
| best table varieties), watermelons
honey, poultry, hogs, etc. It may be
| demonstrated over and over again thai
there is a good living and something
| more for an Industrious man in thi:
| kind of agriculture. If there is room fo1
a few cows their entire feed-sorghum
| alfalfa and panicum grass-can b,
| grown on the place; and good GOV
| fed in this way and the milk retailed il
safe for profit of SIS month or ever
more.
There are thousands of vacant acre
which could be divided into farms wher
American young men, used to the hard
scrabble agriculture of tbs mainland
would be glad to establish themselve
and show that the spirit which subdue
the wilderness is not dead yet. VIII
not give them a chance?

HE llsIANsKl SKINS.

Skipper weisbarth may or may not
have missed a fortune when he failed
10 get the cached birdskins on Lisian-
ski island. for there IS no assurance.
had he brought them to this port. that
he would have been allowed to keep
them.
According to Washington advices the
United States governmental claimed the
skins and contemplated sending a yes
sci after them. Captain Hamlet of the
revenue cutter Thetis said that the
prizes undoubtedly" belonged to the
Territory of Hawaii. Between the two
claims. which would certainly have
been lodged if the birdskins had ar
rived at this port, the claims of Capt.
Weisbarth might have fallen to the
ground At any rate he would have
found himself obliged to hire lawyer
and fight for his property; and mean
while the Hawaiian bugs would have
q chance at the skins.
AS things are the japanese have tax
en- the skins and that is the last we
shall probably hear of them.

POTATOES AND TOBACCO.

1T isn't necessary to resort TO any
device to keep tobacco moist this time
of year." said q tobacconist yesterday;
. in fact, there is altogether too much
humidity in the atmosphere But the
raw potato is a good thing to bear in
mind.
During the winter months, when
artificial heat has a tendency to sap
the natural moisture from tobacco, the
raw potato comes in mighty handy,
Place it in the bottom OF a jar, put
the tobacco on TOP of it and the result
will be most satisfying. The tobacco
viii then retain all its best qualities.

have found none to work SO satisfac-
torily. "-Philadelphia Record.

of several results from the pupllca-
ton in the Sunday Advertiser of a
tropical menu without meat, the most
fiiyerting is the solemn protest OF an
Fnglishman against including baked
beans. His establishment over such
dish is as great as that of an American
over the Establishments breakfast mar
nalade. Your true Yankee would no
more spoil his breakfast with marina
lade than he would with chocolate car
amels; and apparently your true En-
glishman would no more accept matu-
final spread of baked beans than he
would of chopped feed. Probably both
lose something by their gustatory pref
1,dices. The writer of the menu should
have put marmalade on his list, there IS
no doubt about that; but NJ could not
have left baked beans off and retained
the confidence of any American break
faster nor observed the unlties IN n
bill-of-fare which undertakes 10 supply,
in another form, the elements of value
to be found in meat.

The Russians are still losing steadily.
According to a ST. Petersburg dispatch
General Stoessel, who originally said he
could hold Port Arthur for two years,
now reports that he may" hold out for
six weeks This means that the strong
hold may fall at any time. In the
north, Kuropatkin's movement seems
TO have proved abortive and he has
evacuated Anping, losing many stores;
and the next thing to be expected is his
loss of Liaoyang with enormous sup
plies of food and munitions of war
On the sea about everything has gone
to smash All in all the Russians have
fought like a third rate power con-
fronted by first-rate one.

OUTSTANDING JAPANESE.


The article copied from the Hawan
Shinpo on Christian missionary WorA
among japanese, points to dif1cuitS
which the missionaries have met among
other people than the little brown men,
There is no more troublesome field III
which 10 establish Christianity thaii
one where the inhabitants mix their re-
,ie,,on With their politics. Thus in Japan
the neopIe are bound in a species ol
state worship of which the Emperor -
the daified head; at least he IS so near
daifed that an attempt to change the
sniri471aI allegiance of his SUBJECTS "
the Son of God IS looked upon as
eacrilege and one moreover whlch teiIu7
m weaken the respect in which ne 10
held as the political chief of the state
THAT is TO say. the average japanese
feels that he cannot be a Christian anu
at the same time loyal subject OF the
Emperor. Apparently this view is not
+akap nv the Emperor himself nor by
subjects of the highest intelligence Out
we are speaking of the masses among
svbom the missionaries chiefly lapor'
where it is very prevalent.
The same circumstance gives the
missionaries trouble in the Turkish EN-
nire. A man cannot turn from the Ialeh
of the Sultan and remain true TO ms
TEMPORAL sovereignty-the religion and
politics of the Mohammedan autocraI
being two sides of the same shield
Turks regard an attempt TO suoVeft the
ancient faith as one to subvert the
foundations of the throne. This ac-
counts for the everlasting trouble be-
tween the missionaries and the Porte
trouble that generally ends in the
slaughter of Ar1nenians, who have no
Foreign Office and fleet of ironclads be-
hind them.
1T is probably true, as the Shlnpo
saws. that the proportion of sincere
christians among japanese converts is
much smaller than the missionaries
s,1ppose. Commonly in Japan the
traveller soon begs to be spared from
stopping any more at the hotel-of ma
five christian" for he knows ne VIII
he cheated. Nevertheless the faith has
made a far more visible progress III
Japan than it did in Rome fifty years
after the birth of Christ and now Rome
is a center of the Christian world Ihe
conquest of one religion by another IS
usually a process of the ages, not the
feat of an hour; and we must have
much longer perspective than the civil
1ization of Japan now affords in which
to rightly judge the strength ana re-
suits of the Christian movement. Moth
ing is more probable than that, in a
few generations, the old superstiuous
reverence for the Emperor will vanish
and that he will become. either glided
fieurehead of State or the business head
of a business nation. In either case
he would cease to be an obstacle in the
x,vav of the spread among his people of
Christian doctrine. Perhaps-Who
knows ?-he will turn Christian himself.
Tt is a possibility as all these things
are for which the Christian religion,
lowered as it is with the patience of
centuries, can afford to wait.

CANNOT INTERFERE.

(ANNOf iIStENt @@t~'
! According TO an ofi~Ial circular gust
received the Department OF Com
merce and Labor was not vested with
power of intervention in disputes De-
tween employers ant employees, nor
was it the intention or desire OF con-
eress that the services OF the depart
rrent should be utilized in the dlrec---
ton of arbitration or settlement OF
strikes. The act of June Is, 1855, es-
tablished a Department of Labor
which remained an independent organ
fzation opera ting under the law creat~
ing it until, under the act OF Feoru-
ary IA. 1903, it became a bureau CT
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor under the Jurisdiction of the Sec
rotary of that department. BY this
transfer the scope of its authority was
not in any way enlarged SO that 1t
might lawfully engage in the attempt
ed settlement of industrial disputes.
Section 1 of the act Of June b. 1883,
establishing a Department of Labor,
provided:
There shall be at the seat Of govern
ment a Department of Labor the gen
eral design and duties of which shall
be to acquire and diffuse among the
people of the United States useful in
formation on subjects connected with
labor. in the most general and COM
prehensive sense of that word, and es-
peciaIIy upon its relation to capital,
the hours of labor, the earnings of
Iaboring men and women, and the
means of promoting thei~ material, So
cial. intellectual and moral prosperity.
Section placed the department I'M
der the charge of a Commissioner to
be appointed by the President by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate. and Section defined the du-
ties of the COMMISSIONS in regard to
controversies and DISPUTES that might
arise between capital I'd labor. It
provided:
That the Commissioner of Labor, in ,
with the general design
and duties referred to ir Section l OF
this act. is especially charged to as
certain, etc. The Commissioner of La !
Dor is also specially charged to inves- !
tigate the causes of ana facts relating
to all controversies and disputes be-
tween employers and employees as they
may occur and which may tend to in
terfere with the welfare of the people
of the different States and report
fn Con
BY the provisions of the act Great
ing the Department of labor, which
has since been transferred to the De-
partment of Commerce nd Labor, it !
is plain that Congress never contem-
plated that departments established
solely for the purposes Of investiga-
ton and report should transgress the
boundaries fixed for them to the extent
of intervention in labor disputes.
a widespread though erroneous i'm
preston prevails that the Department j
of Commerce and Labor could lawfully !
be transformed into a tribunal for ar :
bitration before which capital and la !
Dor might present their differences for
but the act of Congress
creating it authorizes no such power.
Competent legal authorities further de-
clare that the department has no more
right to attempt to effect the settle
ment of a strike than it would have
to foment discord between employers
and employees as either, they hold,
would be without warrant in law.
