NEWS OF THE WEEK
Weekly Really Vital News by the Editor

The anarchy in Colorado is attract
ing the attention of the whole world.
Cablegrams from. Europe give short
extracts from opinions expressed
there AS Europe always fails to UNI
derstand our dual government, state
and national, the whole blame for
conditions rests upon the government
of the United States, and everywhere
the greatest surprise is expressed.
Colorado has disgraced the nation.
The situation out there is not the af-
fair of Colorado alone, but OF every
citizen of the Union, and that for
many reasons. The precedents estab-
lished in the courts there will be
quoted for years. Wherever in these
states a disturbance occurs, executives
will find excuse for despotism in the
acts of Colorado.
The ordinary citizen little knows and
seldom or never reflects upon the ex-
traordinaryl power of the courts and
what wonderful influence they exercise
in government. This whole difficulty
has come about primarily because OF
the cowardice of the courts and in the
second place from the tendency OF the
higher courts not to administer exact
justice to all parties, without fear or
favor. but to tinge their decision with

BRILLIANT BALL
IN HONOR OF
18TH INFANTRY

Not since the opening of the Alex
ander Young Hotel has the Roof Gar
den been the rendezvous of such a large
and brilliant gathering of Honolulu
townsfolk as last evening on the occa-
sion of the concert and ball given in
honor of Col. John w. Bubb and the
officers and ladies of the Twelfth Uni
ted States Infantry from the transport
Sherman.
Brilliant with hundreds of multi-col-
ored electric globes, gay with the blue
and white uniforms of the infantry
officers and the summary dresses of the
fair sex, and with a clear star-lit sky
above. the breeze-swept Roof Garden
was an ideal place for the nights rev.
els. So great was the attendance that
the promenades even were taxed for
standing room. The Roof fairly
hummed with conversation and rippled
with laughter.
The Twelfth Infantry band gave an
excellent concert on the Roof from 1880
to 10, every number being heartily ap-
plauded. The selections ranged from
opera to popular airs, all of which were
rendered in most creditable manner.
Following the concert a Hawaiian
Quintet club played and sang the mu-
sic OF Hawaii in the maKai ballroom
where the visiting officers and ladies
danced until after midnight. The Ha-
waiian music was a most fascinating
feature to the visitors, there being a
general expression of the novelty they
experienced in dancing to native music,
both played and sung. Intermixed in
this martial assembly were a large
number of visitors who have recently
arrived I'm Honolulu. Col Bubb and
the officers thanked Manager Lake for
a most pleasurable evening.

PRo-JAP SYMPATHY WANING.
Nations Realizing Japan's Growth
Means Injury to European Trade

ST. PETERSBURG, March % q 40 p. m.)
The Bourse Gazette. in leading article
on Japophilism maintains that the pro-
japanese sympathy among the commercial
nations at the outbreak of the war is not
being sustained. owing to the fuller realf-
cation that the growth of Japan into a
great commercial country will mean the
destruction of all the Europeans have ac-
complished in the far east.

TO sTRAIGHTEN THE KAw RIVER
Grounds for Opposing the Proposed Ap.
preparation.

An interesting question has arisen in con-
nectlon with bill introduced by Senator
Long OF kansas. appropriating H.5OO GOO
1or the purpose Of Strengthening the Kaw
river with a view to averting the usna,
spring Hoods which have been SO disas-
trous to the people and property of that
state Inc Dill was referred to the War
department for report, and It has been re
turned with report made by Gen. Macken-
zie' chief OF engineers. to the effect that
several years ago the legislature of the
state declared the Kaw river unnavigable.
and authorized the construction of bridges
across 1t at various points effectually clos
ing 1t to navigation
The point is made that If the stream is
unnavigable it is not under the jurisdic-
ton of the United States, and, consequent
~, that any appropriation made for its inn
proVement would be simply for the benefit
OF the state and its citizens, and not for
the benefit IF the general government or
the people at large. 1t is stated that the
proposed legislation will be opposed on that
ground.

TALES OF BARBARISM.
Delegations From Africa Calls on Sec
retary Hay.

Representatives of the American Baptist,
the Southern Presbyterian and the Disciples
of Christ African Missions called upon Sec
retary Hay at the Department of State to-
day and made startling exhibit of the
state of affairs in the Congo country as
viewed from the missionary standpoint. In
the delegation were DR.. T. s. Barber of
Boston, 9. H. Chester of Nashville, A. Nc
Lain of Cincinnati, DR.. Layton Of Bolengi,
Africa; DR. Morrison of Kasai, Africa, and
DIR. Leslie of Africa.
The story of the treatment of the natives
in the Congo country by their Belgian
rulers was the principal feature of the con-
ference and the stories of atrocities told
We're simply horrible Illustrated as they
were by photographs taken by the mission
aries themselves, the subjects being young
children and youths MANNED and mutilated,
with hands and feet chopped off, and all be-
cause their parents and male relatives fail
ed to bring to the Belgian factors daily the
prescribed number of pounds of rubber.
The missionaries also showed that their
work rendered nearly valueless by the
attitude of the Belgian officials in the
Congo country. They .nonopolized all of the
food supplies, making it difficult for the
missions to procure vegetables or fOWlS or
anything to eat from the natives who were
obliged to turn their produce into the hands
of the Belgian officers. Then by the alleged
inhuman cruelties practiced upon the ma
tives, the latter were driven away from the
missions and the schools were emptied. In
addition no respect was Shown for the prop
erty rights of the missionaries, and 1t was
on this last ground that the delegates
thought the State Department might inter-
tere.
Secretary Hay heard his callers at length
and in a sympathetic manner He asked
them to reduce their views to written
memorandum, which he would consider.
He could not hold out any definite promise
of relieving the situation in the Congo, so
far as the natives were concerned because
the United States was not one of the sig
natories to the treaty under which the
Congo Free State came into existence.
The delegation called on the President at
the White House after the cabinet meeting
and had an interview. The President asked
that the facts be laid before him in brief
form so that he might go over them The
delegation laid stress upon three facts:
l. The suppression of freedom of trade
in the Congo Free State, this having been
guaranteed to ell nations under treaty.
9. The cruelties and atrocities practiced
upon the natives.
3. The interference of the Belgian gov
ernment with the propaganda of the mis-
sioraries and the education of the natives,
1t was claimed that the natives living near
missions are terroriZed by government
emssaries and made to run away.
