Long Meeting of ConsuIs.

Shanghai, Aug. ga long meet
ing of the consular body was held TO-
day for the purpose of discussing the
case of the Russian cruiser Askold
and destroyer Grozovoi which put
into this port August IL. No decision
was reached, but it is believed that
inal action will be the same as in
the case of the Russian gunboat Man
jur, which put into port and was COM
PEELED to dismantle March 81. The
American men of war in the harbor,
while retaining an outward appear
ance OF inaction. have for several
days been practically cleared for ac-
ton with gun sights in POSITION and
steam up. Rear Admiral Stirling Is
determined that the Japanese shall
not interfere with the Russian YES
sells. He has, it is reported, offered
to escort the Askold and GrozovOi
beyond the three-mile limit
The foreign consuls held another
meeting this afternoon which result
ed in the preparation of statement
of established facts regarding the
Russian war ships Askold and Grozo-
vol. The Russian authorities show a
disinclination to reconsider their re-
fusal to comply with China's demand
that the two ships leave Shanghai or
disarm.

Esopus. N. Y. Aug. 22.-It was
made plain at Rosemont today that
there is no certainty of Judge Parker
making any speeches in the west in
connection with his st. Louis trip or
at any other time or place. An lnti-
mate associate of Judge Parker said
today that Mr. Parker did not believe
in stumDing tour by Presidential
candidates. and that he would not
undertake such tour. The only kind
of an occasion on which he will make
speeches anywhere will be the fact
that he has something to say. and
he is convinced by his own reason

Powers Will Act Together.


London. Aug. 22.-The afternoon
papers here take it for granted that
if any intervention is necessary at
Shanghai the powers will act togeth-
er in upholding the neutrality of Chi
ma equally against the belligerents
The Westminster Gazette says: 1T
the American government lead the
way in this matter it will be doing
service to all the governments, for
it is high time the neutral powers
come to an understanding about the
limits of Chinese neutrality, so as
to be able to act together and move
at the solution of the complicated sit
uation."
The Pail Mall Gazette considers
that the powers should follow at
the correct precedent set
by Germany at Kai Chou and insist
on obedience of the Russians to or
ders to leave or disarm without de-
lay and thus settle the question Of
of China for the rest of
the war

formation from Port Arthur. They

They confirm the story that Liao
promontory was not assaulted for
the reason that it is impregnable on
the sea side and the Japanese were
unable TO move on it from the north
The Japanese main attack has been
heaviest against the Russian center
and right, particularly against the
center, fronting which the Japanese
have taken up strong position at
Shushin. The temper of the Russian
garrison is dogged and determined.
While they APPARENTLY believe they
will hold the Japanese in check, their
is not absolute.
1t is asserted in reliable quarters
at Port Arthur that the Japanese have
received reinforcements of 10000
men from the north.

SCHOOL PREPARATION.

One of the excuses for the forcing
process of education in some of the To-
cal schools is that college entrance ex-
aminations are now so high that the
preparatory schools must maintain
scheme of study equal, save IN tne
classics. to that of the average Amerl-
can college of a generation ago Inc
excuse Is given for what 1t is WORTH
hut II would be of better value II one
per cent of our school boys and girls
actually went to college and II any
stern necessity existed for sending
youth there at certain specihed age
Touching the first point 1t Is obvious
w wrong to stuff and crowd ninety
nine per cent of school children that
one ner cent may meet the college
entrance requirements. Furthermore
the supreme effort to put a boy into a
university at eighteen is not worth
while. considering the mental and
physical danger in over-study, Wheh
the course, by dividing itself through
a longer period. would enable him to
enter at nineteen with better health
and a nearer approach to maturity
lad of eighteen or even nineteen, turn
ed loose on the free commons of col
lege life, is in danger; but he had bet
ter go at nineteen than eighteen. we
are aware of the modern theory that
he should be ready for business before
twenty-five, but there is no certainty
that the lad, with his mind full of I'M
digested book learning and his system
undermined by over-work, would ever
be as ready for business as the slow
but sure student who preserves his
health and arrives in college really
knowing something and with enough
maturity to understand that higher
education is not all beer and skittles.

COUNTY ALMSROUSE:.

An almshouse and county hospital are
an American county as a Board of SUI
pervsors; but this paper urges the au-
thorities, before devising any such sys-
TEN of public relief, to consider how
unreasonably large is the class IN Ha-
wall which is eager, on general prin-
ciples, to get something from 1t. In an
American county of Anglo Saxon citi-
zenship, so many lazy people try 10
foist themselves upon public bounty,
have county farm where healthy in
mates of the county almshouse would
be required to work for their board
and shelter. Here in oahu are ten
people where there are two in an Amer
lean mainland county who believe that
the Government owes them a living.
The relief camps are full of them: the
charitable societies are beseged by
them; the opening of a county aims
house with its lure of board and lodg-
ing and nothing to pay would bring
them out like crowd OF school-boys
who had been promised free soda water
at a drug store.
Obviously the thing to do is to have
an almshouse on the American plan
one put in the midst of a tract of land
where the inmates would grow things.
For women inmates some light forms
of sewing or Matchmaking or matweav-
ing should be devised. OF course the
inmates of a county hospital, being
helpless, would be exempted from de-
mands upon their physical strength,
and the very aged in the almshouse
would get off. But for the rest they
should be made TO raise much of what
they eat-taro, rice, sweet potatoes,
and fruits; perhaps also hogs, chickens,
ducks and dairy products.
In this way two desirable public oh
jects would be reached: The county
almshouse would not attract the mere
ly lazy; while the expenses of running
1t would be kept down by the labor of
the beneficiaries.

MORE POINTERS FOR LABOR UNIONS.

In further aid of the reconstruction
of labor unions, which Is so rapidly pro-
ceeding, n Chicago Grand Jury has
found some interesting indictments
against wallsing-delegates, for con-
spiracy to wreck the business of the
Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Com
pany. The parties indicted were S. 70.
Johnson, the business agent" of the
Brass Workers Union; l.. Il. Fisher,
secretary of the International order of
Machinists. and II. $. Crane, its BUSH
ness agent" and James l.. Lamb, the
business agent" of the International
brotherhood of Electrical Workers. The
testimony appears to be conclusive
that, during the strike, they threatened
to ruin the business of the Kellogg
switchboard and Supply Company, un-
less 1T submitted without even discuss
sion to the exorbitant demands of its
employees.
The strike of the miners in Colorado
has developed a different phase of the
labor question, which may require the
application of that rigid equality before
the law, upon which President Roose-
welt strenuously insists. In that state,
undoubtedly, outrages We're committed.
in which dynamite was freely used.
The Governor, however, in his deter
mination to enforce the law. apparently
went beyond the necessity of the case.
and undertook to place the disaffected
districts under military control and
even threatened to suspend the writ OF
habeas corpus. This attempt locally to
change our institutions and to sub
stitute temporary despotism for u
species of anarchy. cannot be legally
and has been disa7provea
the country. Thus the true
point is being reached that law must
be enforced against all, whether capt.
talists, wage-earners or ambitious ana
over-zealous officials, and that our form
of government furnishes an adequate
for all the Protean shapes OF
corruption and of violence.
