Says 1t Has Small Hopes
of Peace.

Toxic, Jan 5.-War with Russia Is
regarded here as unavoidable and the
press is urging the immediate opening
Of hostilities.
All of the banks are Withholding
funds n it is believed this is the re-
suit of official Instructions.
The government has completed and
perfected arrangements for the trans
portation OF troops n supplies, and
the people calmly await Developments.
Th continued dissemination OF opti-#5
mistic news from, Berlin causes genu-
Inc surprise and regret here.
Shanghai, Jan. 4.--Chinese cruisers
here are preparing for active service.
They are taking on board ammunition
and supplies. They will remain here
for orders.
Paris, Jan. 4.-The Russian Warshipss
here have been ordered to postpone
their departure.
Toxic, Jan. 5.-The report is current
that a japanese squadron pfasix ARM
ored cruisers under Admiral kamimura
is now at Saceho and will seize the port
of Masampho. Korea, and that it's de-si
parture has been fixed for January a.
In well informed circles it is doubted
whether Japan would seize MasamphOI
or any Korean port, except to forestala
Russia in. the event of the latter show
ing evidences of any to take
such a step or in the event the negotia-
tons between the two countries finally
! end in failure. Great activity prevails
in preparation for any e~yentuality.
Russia Will Reject Proposals.
st. Petersburg, Jan. SIT appears to-
be true that Russia has decided not to
accept Japan's precise proposals. For
eign Minister Lamsdorf and the Japan
ese minister are still comforting with a,
! view to arriving at an ainleabie settle
ment, but unoffcially the situation Is
regarded as most serious,
London Not Yet Informed.
London, Jan. 5.-No word has yet
been received here tending to show
when the Russian reply to Japan may
be expected. Foreign Secretary Lans-,.l
doWne has inforrnedHthe Japanese min-i
lister, Baron lHayashi, that he fears the
war party in Russia is ilsthe ascendant
n that he has faint hopes sofSjapan
receiving a favorable reply.
Baron Hayashi says he has received
no news of the intended dispatch of q.
Japanese squadron to Masampho,
Korea. The minister pointed out that
the dispatch Of a squadron to Masam-
pho would not necessarily be war
like action. though it could scarcely
help being regarded in the line Of other
precautions which Japan has openly
aiken.

cony rose to their feet ana crowded
to obtain a better view of the
fire. Eddie Foy rushed to the center OF
the stage again and waved lis arms in
a gesture meaning for the people to
be seated. AT that instant a woman In
h rear seats screamed Fire, and
the entire audience rose to its feet. In.
another instant there was a confused
roar made by a thousand persons as
they ylsied madly from the Impending
danger.
Panic in the Chorus.
"On the stage the chorus girls, who
had aroused my admiration because of
turned to;flee,. but nan of them were
overcome before they could take q step.
Several OF them fell to the floor, and I
saw the actors and stage hands carry
them off the stage.
Miss Elsie Gilmore was the first to
leave our box. The upholstering on
the railing was4then on fire, and we
We're compelled to brush fragments Of
tho burning curtain from our cloth
ing in order to prevent its catching
fire.
Then there came a great oar and a
great draft Of air, and the flames shot
out over the parquette of the theater
until 1t seemed to me as though they
must reach the very walls Of the gall
leries. There were few men in the
galleries, but I saw several OF them
pulling and pushing women n chill
drea aside as they fought like maniacs
to reach the exits. I saw a number
OF children trampled, and hone OF them
arose again. In the balcony l saw a
big. black crush OF human beings, each
ono apparently fighting everybody else.
The balcony was so steep hat many
fell before they had reached the first
four rows of seats. I saw the exits to
the fire escape cheke, and those in the
rear rush with all the strength they
possessed on those who were nearest
the doorway.
Stage a Mass Of Flames.
I then saw that the flames ran rapidly
through the scenery, and I jumped over
the railing Of the box to the aisle in front.
l saw that the stage was then a mass Of
flames. AS 1 started up the aisle a Ia
ran into me and knocked me down. I
grew weak on arising and sank int one
OF the orchestra chairs, and after that I
saw little, In some way l reached the
main entrance, where men were kicking
against the doors and shattering} the glass
and panels In an attempt to afford q
larger space for the exit of the people. I
saw many fall as they reached the doors,
where a few steps more would have car
rieA them to fresh air and safety. AS /
lsok at 1t now I must have been walking
on prestrate bodies as 1 struggled through
the opening. All of our party escaped in
absut the same manner as l did, but all
of them suffered SO terribly in the mat
ter Of clothing that the first thing they
did was to rush to a store to buy wraps"

RUSSIA SURE 70 WIN.
Military Authority at ST. Petersburg
Expresses5Thi Opinion.

New York, Jan. 5.-Ihe Herald spe-,
5cial cable from st. Petersburg says:
Il had an interview Thursday eve-f
ming with a well known general hold,
the very large number of military men
who do not belive in war as an fln1ne-s
date certainty, for reasons which i
had better leave unmentioned. He
said:

scenes know better h a this war is
very unfortunate for Russia. But APP

to fight US"
do you anticipate comp1ications??',
NO ne answered. ut is Claimed
the japanese fleet is stronger than
ours. Let us admit that, and suppose
they wipe U our feet, that is Moth

in 1854 w e voluntarily sank our own
vessels to protect them from the en-
envy, and continued the fight five
years? Also, u modern fleet will not

Decisive War on Land.

Suppose even that Japan gets
coasts. What then? We have Vladi-s
yostock, Dalny and Port Arthur, which
are impregnable. Russia,s reply VIII

This will give us three weeks before
the break. In that time Russia must
get to the east.
"Japan's professions have created a
situation such as would have been ere

fifty years ago turned round and or
dered England out of India. Does any
one Imagine that, with the best will in
the world, Russia can back out at the
Of Japan? Impossible!
TT is a horrible thing to Russia, this
war, but it is one OF those things that
must be gone through with. It may
set us back sadly. In my opinion V

morgues before all of the bodies had been

In the intense excitement Of the first
few hours following the outbreak of the

their loved ones.
They crushed through the doorways of
the temporary morgues by the hundred,

purses and jewelry despite the utmost eff

MESSAGE
IS READY
Governor Ready
for Special
Session.

Governor Carter's message TO the
special session of the legislature is
practically ready for submission to
that body on Wednesday. The gov
ernor will have the message ready for
the printer today and copies will be
submitted to the two houses in order
to avoid the usual delay in printing
which the Legislature always encoln-
ters at the opening of the session
Governor Carter has prepared lump
sum appropriations for each DEPART
ment, the specifications to be furnished
upon the request of the legislature.
rms Is done to avoid the appearance
of any dictation on the part of the ex-
ecutive in placing specific items before
the two houses, the governor feeling.
that the Legislature as the law making
body, should itself exercise that re-
sponsibility. The detailed estimates
VIII naturally be ready and made
available for the uses of the lepisla-
ture, the governor in his message sim
ply pointing out the estimated revenue
for the next eighteen months. with the,
iurther recommendation that the es-
innate should not be exceeded by the
appropriations.
Governor Carter will recommend the.
passage of additional legislative meas
ures which are required to legalize the
proposed changes in appropriations
one of these recommendations will be
for an amendment to the tax law. Civ
ing the assessor power to pay his dep
uties either salary or commission for
collecting taxes. Under the present
law deputies receive as much as five
per cent commission on the amount of
taxes collected, and by the change it
is proposed to avoid extravagant COM
pensation. In some districts the depu-
ty simply has to visit one or two PLAN
tations and take over the collections
made by the company, and draw the
usual percentage, which in some dis
tricts amounts to between three and
four thousand dollars, although the
deputy does practically no work
n change will also be recommended
in the garbage department. So that
the collection of fees can be enforced
from the persons who benefit by the
system. 1t is expected to place the
garbage service on a basis, where it
will at least pay it's own expenses.
Governor Carter has requested the
Judiciary department to furnish a draft
of proposed laws to put into effect the
reductions contemplated in the expenses
of the courts. A number of laws which
various officials have been asked to
draw up will probably be received back
today These if satisfactory will be
submitted to the Legislature

Maui is practically marooned in Cir
cult Court circles, for Judge Kalua has
postponed the hearing of all cases to
June 6. the day after his tenure of office
expires.
The news which came yesterday on
the Claudine from Walluku indicated
that Judge Kalua has determined that
Attorney General Knox, as we'll as the
people of his circuit shall suffer be-
cause of the formers recommendation
that he be not again designated to wear
the ermine.
ON Friday there were some amusing
features at Judge Kaluas session Of
court, for he not only POSTPONED all
cases to the above date, but threatened
to send several attorneys to Jail if they
insisted on protesting against such
summary proceedings. Judge Kalua
further announced that he was "the
boss" and would exercise his preroga-
tive.
ceived newspapers containing Attorney
General KnoX's recommendation that
Kalua be permitted to hold his office
until the expiration of his term on June
3, with the further recommendation
that he should not receive a renewal of
the judgeship. What passed in Judge
Kaluas mind overnight has not been
made public but it is certain that he
determined on the opening of the court
to teach aspiring Wailukan barristers
a lesson.
The first case to be called was the
divorce suit of F'erreira VS.. Ferreira,
Attorney Vivas appearing for one side
and Coke and Case for the other. The
clerk announced that the papers We're
not in the docket. Vivas then request
ed that the case go over until April IS
when he had two other cases set for
hearing and all three could be heard
the same day. This was agreeable to
the other attorneys.
