MILITARY MEN REGARD TIE REPORT AS ABSURD
General Kuropatkin Expected to Reach Mukden on March 26-Supersti- ton Exists Regarding
 His Birthday.

St. Petersburg, March 15.-From the highest official quarter the Associated Press has received the information that there is absolutely no foundation for the rumors persistently sent out from Toklo that the Russians are abandoning Port Arthur.
 Ut is the veriest nonsense" said the of ficial informant of the Associated Press. "Nothlng has occurred there to warrant such reports. The Japanese fleet has not been seen for several hours. The motive of the government at Tokio in spreading this story is probably to influence feel ing in Japan for the purpose of creating enthusiasm while a war loan is being noated."
 The newspapers here manifest the great est indignation over the report, the Boorse Gazette characterizing 1t as out rageous, and a British invention. At tention Is redirected to the order of the day, issued by Lieutenant General Stoes- sel, commander at Port Arthur, in which he declared that that place would never be surrendered as representing the Rus sian position. Relative to this point, a military officer said to the Associate Press:

such a cheer as Westminster had not heard for many a day. The Irish and liberal members clambered upon benches and yelled themselves hoarse and Tor nearly five minutes pandemonium reigned. Several times Sir Thomas Esmonde tried to read out the figures, but his voice was drowned in the uproar. MT. Balfour, who had been just in time to vote for the gov ernment sat smiling grimly. Finally there was comparative quiet and Sir Thomas read: Ayes, 141; Noes. 130.
 The government was defeated by Il votes.
 A rush to the lobby followed and the members anmatedly discussed whether or not Mir Balfour would resign The premier, however. quickly set these doubts at rest by saying that he saw no reason for such action. Thanks to the prolonged hectoring of MT. Balfour, the government whips got the chance of summonng their absent supporters. and when about ten minutes later John Redmond moved to report progress on the ground that the government had not a majority able to transact the business of the country the government secured the narrow majority of 25.

REFUGEES ARRIVE
 ON THE CINCINNATI
MINERS AND MISSIONARIES JOUR- NEY THROUGH KOREA BEARING AMERICAN FLAGS-SAY RIVERS ARE LINED WITH LAPS.

Chemulpo, March 15.-The United States cruiser Cincinnati returned here today
 from Chinnampo with a number of Am
 erican refugees from the American com panys mines at Unsan, and missionaries
 in that vicinity. The party consists of
 three men and twenty-two women and
 children. All are well They praise the kindness of the officers of the Cincinnati
 who gave up their cabins to them. The
 refugees travelel from Unsan to Chin
 nampo in carts bearing American flags,
 and were escorted as far as Pingyang
 by band from the mines. They were i unmolested. Near Anju they met two small groups of Cossacks.
 During the partys stay at Pingyang the Japanese officials requested them to wear badges bearing the American col ors, in order that they might be allowed to leave and enter the town freely. The party was stopped five times by Japanese soldiers, of whom the party saw great numbers along the road to the coast.
 The Japanese treated them very cour- teously.
 regard todays division more in the light of joke than anything else, although they admit that it is particularly an- moving joke especially in view of the pend ing bye-elections.
 There is no suggestion of sharp prac- tices and even the members of the cabinet privately admit that they were woefully outwitted by lne 'irrepressible Irish"
 Sir Thomas Esmonde in summing up the events of one of the most interesting days in recent English political history. said to the Associated Press:
 Esmonde Comments on Victory.
 'sToday's division may be taken as the handwriting on the wall. Experienced parliamentary hands do not attach undue importance to it. but nevertheless 1t un- mstakably foreshadows an approaching dissolution which to some extent It hastens. It is blow to the morale Of the government and it's supporters, and a cor responding encouragement to their oppon- ents in parliament and in the country. It is enough to know that the government . has been effectively reduced. How, it does not matter to inquire. we understand that they are in diff faculties in the house, and we know that they are not as well qualified as they are supposed to be to carry on the busi- ness of the country. The pendulum is always ready swinng to a liberal victory, and todays events will accelerate that movement With one or two more adverse divisions in the house of commons, an appeal to the country becomes inevitable. Unless the return of Joseph Chamberlain after Easter brings new vigor and new cohesion to the unionist party, their race is well night run

Carries It's Own Reputation.

This statement carries it's own refuta- tion, unless we meant to beat an gnoble retreat all along the line. If we aban- don Port Arthur, we leave our fleet there to be doomed. It is too absurd to dis cuss."
 General Kuropatkin expects to reach Mukden March 26. Everything will be sidetracked in order to get him to the front on schedule time The general may proceed on a flying visit to Port Arthur but he Is more likely to enter at once upon his duties as commander-in-chief of the Manehuran army He bears an auto graph letter from the emperor to Vice. roy Alexeff to whom he will report.

LACK OF FUNDS CAUSES TALK OF

question whether the Hilo Library and

much longer. The Library is essen
TALLY subscription library depending
upon its patrons and the public for it's
maintenance. Fines and subscriptions
for the use of books do not meet the
running expenses of the Library. The
expenses annually amount to about
$500 and the subscriptions for books
averages not more than $500 leaving
a deficit of $500 to be raised from other
sources. From 5000 to $500 is needed
for the purchase of new books. and
800 for magazines and periodicals.
Treasurer L. Severance finds he cannot

GROCER'S NOTICE.

In accordance with our desire to give
our customers the best possible service
at the lowest prices, we have decided
to dicontinue the practice of allowing
a discount of per cent on retail
monthly bills and therefore give no.
tice that on and after the LIST of No
vember, 1904 no discount whatsoever
will be allowed on any groceries sold
in our stores. All groceries will be
sold at net prices, on a basis of spot
cash or thirty days settlement, and
there will be no exception made to this
rule. Purchasers made in our retail
department up to the list of November
will, of course, be subject to the per
cent discount as heretofore.
The discount question has frequently
been the cause of disputes and dissatis-
faction and we believe this arrange
ment will improve our relations with
our patrons, while it will at the same
time enable us to more adequately meet
the keen competition prevailing in our
line of business, and to give our GUS
toners The benefit of the closest prices.
