RUSSIAN REPLY TO RosEBERY.
Not Room Enough in Asia for England,
Russia and Japan

st. Petersburg, Sept. 26.-The Novoe
Vremya, commenting upon Lord Rose
bery's words at Edinburgh that there
is room enough in Asia for Russia and
England" says:
This formula is out OF date since
Great Britain, by her alliance with
Japan, has introduced a third power
into the Asiatic domain and it Is doubt
full IL there is room for all three. Great
Britain's alliance has also placed her
in a most awkward position. She
would like to be neutral, but she can
not. This explains her peculiar atti-
tude towards Russia"
The paper urges the prompt depar'
ture of the Baltic fleet, saying that
every days delay is enabling Japan to
complete more warships."

ACTS
ARE DECLAHED VOID
COMPANY WINS A QUICK VICTORY IN SUIT
TO CANCEL ITS CHARTER-JUDGE DE BOLT SAYS
DEPUTY INSURANCE COMMISSIONER IS NOT GENER-
ALLY AUTHORIZED TO ACT AS COMMISSIONER

The petition to close up the affairs
of the Fidelity Insurance Company was
thrown out of court this morning by
Judge De Bolt, on a motion by Robert
son & Wilder to quash the order to
show cause. The motion was based
upon grounds on which the authority
of Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Smithies was generally attacked. In
arguing the motion A. G. NJ. Robertson
contended that Smithies had no legal
authority to issue a license at all, and
no authority to revoke the license. The
powers Of the Office are with the COM
missioner, Treasurer of the Territory,
it was contended.
The motion to quash the order to
show cause why a receiver should not
be appointed to close up the affairs Of
the Fidelity Company was based on
grounds set forth as follows:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-01-29

Efforts are being made by stockhold-
ers of the Honolulu Investment Com
pany to have an investigation into its
affairs, and a petition is in circulation
to which signatures of the dissatisfied
ones are being asked. It is claimed
that the affairs OF the company
have not been managed i'm the interests
of the stockholders, and a proceeding
in equity, to have a judicial inquiry
into the corporations affairs, is being
discussed.
The Investment company is largely
controlled by the same interests as are
in control of the Fidelity Insurance
company and it is in connection with
some of the deals between the two con-
Germs that an investigation is asked.
The Honolulu Investment company is
agent for the Fidelity company and the
management of both is practically the
same.
AS shown in the recent proceeding by
Insurance Commissioner Smithies, the
Fidelity company is a large stockholdel
in the Investment company, and the In
vestment company is a stockholder in
the Fidelity, and there was a large deal
in connection with a leasehOld, by
which the insurance company attempt
ed to satisfy Smithies as to the condi-
tion of it's assets. One of the Invest
ment company stockholders stated this
afternoon that he considered that the
deal should be attacked in the courts.
The Fidelity company is said to hold a
$4,000 demand note of the Investment
company.
The dissatisfied stockholders have

proceedings may be taken. One pro-
posed action is to ask for a receiver, on
the ground that the management of the
concern is not i'm the interests of the
stockholders
Henry Smith, former director in the
company, is one of those reported to be
dissatisfied. When asked what the
trouble was he stated that there was
something rotten" Smith resigned as
director about year and a half ago.
Il did not like the way things were go
ing" he said. 7. F. Lansing was also
on the old board of directors, and is
one of those who are said to want a
change in the corporation.
The present officers of the Investment
company are A..V. Gear president, EN-
NETT May secretary and manager, and
w. M.aMinton treasurer. The company
has a large list of stockholders, many
of them small ones, and the directors
hold many proxies.
Another action will be begun against
the Fidelity company by the insurance
commissioner, it is stated. The pres
ence of Kepoikai will be necessary, lin-
der Judge De Bolts ruling, in order for
action to be taken in the matter, but
Attorney General Andrews and Deputy
Fleming are investigating the proceed
ure to be taken. One claim is that the
decision of this morning makes the
company's license void without any
revocation. The license was issued by
Smithies, and if he had no authority
for any of his acts, as the court ind-
Gated, the license of the company may
be held to be void without any further
proceeding.

New Map Of Niihau

DR.. w. D. Alexander has about COM
pleted working up his notes of survey
of the Island of Niihau, and he is hav-
ing a map drawn. This map will place
the island little nearer to Kauai
than the maps of the British Admiralty
the United States photographic office
and the United States Coast and Geo
detic survey, but not quite as near as
the surveys of the Albatnoss made
year or so ago would Indicate. The
surveys just completed by DR., Alex
ander verify the length of Niihau which
which previous surveys give it, but
show that it is a little narrower than
than it has been supposed to be. From
this it's area is not as great as it has

THAT no legal or proper application
has been filed in the court by the In
surance Commissioner of said Territory
or by any officers authorized to act on
behalf of said Commissioner for any
such order as has been issued herein
as aforesaid.
That it appears in and by the af-
fdavit of George E. Smithies, hereto
fore filed herein that he as the alleged
Deputy Insurance Commissioner OF
said Territory had no right or author
ity to do or perform any act, matter or
thing alleged to have been done or per-
formed by him in said affidavit, and
that he as such Deputy Commissioner,
or otherwise las no rigth or authority
to make any application herein for
revocation of the Charter of said Fide-
lity Insurance Company"
Robertson said that it did not appear

been supposed it was. This will work
to the advantage of the owners, Gay
& Robinson, as the island is just as big
as it used to be, but they will not have
to pay taxes on so many acres.
DR.. Alexander suggest that Lehua
Island at the extreme western end of
Nilhau, and separated from it by
narrow strait would be a splendid place
for the United States to establish
lighthouse. The island rises to
height of 600 feet and stands at a
point where it would protect vessels
from the westward from the coast Of
both Niihau and Kauai. Another
lighthouse ought to be established at
Mana on the west coast of Kauai, DR..
Alexander thinks.

4 BANK FAILURE.
Close of the Federal In New York Yes

New York, April 1.-The Federal bank, a state institution in this city, was closed to-day, and officials of the state banking department are in charge. David Rothschild was president of the institution until a few weeks ago, when reports having come into circulation tha. the bank was connected with the Globe Securities company, which loan ed money on salaries, he resigned and was succeeded by William M. Woods, who with D. Doolittle had secured con- trol of the bank. The banks capital is $25O, 900. According to the last state ment in January the individual depos- its were s4S6.41O and loans and dis counts $632,16
 The main office of the institution is at 590 Broadway and there is a branch at 32O Grand street. This afternoon a crowd of nearly 800 depostors gathered about the latter. At an auction sale of securities at the Real Estate rooms yesterday stock of the banks with as- sessment on it sold as low as $10 a share, causing considerable comment.
