LiliuOkalani still Has Hopes.

Washington, Feb. I7.-An effort
was made late this afternoon to find
some Senator who had voted against
the claim of Ex-Queen Liliuokalani
who would be willing to move that
the vote be reconsidered. Is is not
yet clear whether this effort will be
successful. There is much senti.
ment in the Senate favorable to the
claim, but at the same time reluct-
ance to pay a sum of money a con-
siderable percentage of which will
go into the hands of lobbyists.

Steerage Rates on Pacific Mail.

Honolulu, March about the
beginning of this month the rate on
steerage passengers from San Fran
cisco to the Orient will again be cut
by the Pacific Mail and its allied
companies. In view of the pros
pect of war in the Far East there is
a question whether the cutting of
rates will extend to freight, as here
before, for in the event OF hostilities
the ordinary rate will be so high
that both the Pacific Mail and its
allies and the China Commercial
Company may profit by carrying
big cargoes to the Orient. Flour
and other food stuffs are expected
to be much in demand on the Ash
attic coast.

INFLUENZA is always more or less
prevalent at this season of the year.
This disease is very similar to a Sc
we're cold and if allowed to take its
course is liable to cause serious re-
suits. The best treatment for in
fiuenza is TO avoid exposure and
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This medicine gives immediate re-
lief and if used as directed, will
ward off all dangerous consequences.

Az no TEACH ERs' SALARIES.
Teachers said TO be Under Yearly
Contract Service.

A talk with one Of the Hilo
teachers shows the point of view of
the pedagogues on the question of
an arbitrary reduction of salaries
say twenty per cent as has been
suggested in certain quarters.
This teacher stated that some time
ago she had a correspondence with
the Department of Education at
Honolulu relative to the salary
which it is the rule to pay to teachers
during the two summer months.
The question asked was why the
department does not divide the
yearly salary into ten parts and pay
them monthly thus fully compensat-
ing the teacher at the end of the
teaching term. The Departments
reply was that to make the twelve
monthly payments was easier for
the Department bookkeepers. 1t
was specifically stated that the por-
tons OF the annual salary paid in
July and August were not to be
considered as compensation for
those months, but as salary pre-
viously earned and paid in those
months for the convenience of the
Territory.
In the case of school teachers the
opinion is held also that they are
working under contract either ac'
tual or implied and that a cut ir
their salaries by the Territory
could not be enforced if a teacher
sought to enforce his rights in tn,
courts. There are quite a number
of teachers who came to Hawaii Il
serve in the public schools upoi
definite salaries of so much pc.
year. And the opinion is general,
expressed that a looping off of on
fifth OF the salaries Of the schoo
teachers would be one of the mos
discreditable steps any administra
tion could take.

strict news Survetlinnce.
London, Feb. 2S.-In reference to
the severity of the censorship exer-
cised by the Japanese Government
over the news dispatches of foreign
correspondents, Baron Hayashi, the
Japanese Minister, tonight said:
l have had umerou representa-
tons from English and other news
papers upon this subject, but l be
lieve that u position in the case is
not only right but will be admitted
to be such by those who look care
fully into the circumstances. We
are fighting against numerical odds
which are quite mi of proportion
to the odds against any combatant
in recent wars. We are fighting for
our existence and our only hope of
maintaining it is to strike swiftly
and secretly at the beginning. To
get in the first blows means more TO
us than, l think, it has ever meant
to any belligerent, and to insure this
it is vital for us to demand a degiee
of secrecy which has not been nee
essary in any recent warfare. Even
at the risk of alternating temporarily
the friendship of the press of the
world W. must prevent even a whis-
per of our real intentions reaching
our powerful enemy.
Before wal was declared l knew
that our military authorities had de-
cided that our censorship must be
more rigid than ever before at
tempted. One line would have
ruined our first attack on Port
Arthur-one line might ruin our
: projected land operations.
, When we fought China we gave
, the wal correspondents free latitud,
f and i'll many cases they took ad
. vantage of this to predict our future
movements. That did not matter
, much when China was Our enemy
but, against a power like Russia
s so immensely superior i'll eventua
resources, it might turn the scale
When you fight for lie everythin.
else becomes of minor importance.
i, l cannot believe that Japan vii
lose friends in the world becaus'
she has been obliged to impose
careful censorship. / do not thinl
the present rigor of this censorship
. will be continued very long, but
momentarily the conditions of the
campaign make even insignificant
movements blows toward u mali

When our preliminary operation:
:, are complete I have no doubt thu
censorship will be relaxed.

There is no discrimination and

just merely a primitive mining camp.
We would like to see the time come

And Her Name Was Maud.

Back in May, 1903, when Goldtield was
not known and only vague aud meagre
news had been received IN Tonopah
about the new strikes at Grandpa made
by Marsh and Stimler, Jack Davis was
broke. He wanted to go out to that
country and prospect but not having the
money to do 80 he struck James o.
Ford, who owns the livery stable at the
foot Of Main street, Tonorah, and per-
suaded him to grubstake him to a sih-
gle rig and an ordinary mule, agreeing
to locate him in a half interest in what
he found. He was out three days and
on that trip located the Vernal No l
and vernal No. 2, and Quartzite No.
and Quartzite No. 2, which led to the
opening up Of the Diamondheld district
They were bonded and afterward sold,
and for his grubstake share Jim Ford

old mule in three days. And her
name was Maud.-Tonopah Bonanza.

Be Careful OF Fires.

The leaves that a short time ago
clothed the trees and made the eyes 81 d
with their %greenness, have all dried up
and blown away, leaving the trees dreary
monuments Of approaching Winter. 1t
also reminds us that the leaves now
ranging along the unfrcqueuted streets,
in the fence corners, ard bitches, ought
to be cleaned up and burned or other
Use disposed Of. If left where they are,
they soon decay and thus become in
j~uiious to health and can serve no bene-
fetal purpose.
The leaves gathered around the cor
ners and on the roofs of buildings near
the most Travelled streets should be gath
cred up and gotten rid of. thus lessen
ing the danger of fro. W. certainly
cannot take too many precautions to re-
duee the danger from that source.

A GOLD-SEEK-
ER'S TRIP.
Had Experience in Death Valley
He Will Not Repeat.

Joe Lasher, an old timer in Nevada
who has been through the Death vale,
for the past three months, passed
through town this week en- route to Lar
annie, where his son resides, and is I
wealthy oil man, says the Caliente Pro
gress.
The old ~prospector says this is his las
trip, as 1t came near being his last ven.
ture on this sphere. He went north il
to the bad lands 100 miles aud struck 9
magnificent ledge of Il ee gold, probabl,
the same that has been located on b,
Morton and Sykes and Nels Fisher, OF
sparkling white quartz which runs
northwesterly and southeasterly across
the valley, jagged and rejecting the
suns rays for miles distant. He started
with what he thought was au abundant
supply of water and provisions, fouI
burros and a complete outfit, having
been staked by his son.
He returned minus burros, worn to q
shadow with fighting sandstorms aod
thirst, his provisions left somewhere on
the desert, barely able to see and nearly
deaf from exposure to storm and the
disasters which overlook him. All
through. however, he chung to a buck
skin sack OF ore which is half gold.
The quartz is stuck in pieces of gold
rather than the gold in the quartz, and
he says be has located four claims on q
two foot vein of this ore. He found q
cavern in the rocks and went inside tc
escape the torrid rays OF the sun and
found that the cave bad been cut b,
the hand of man instead OF natures
handiwork, and after examining it FOL
about fifty feet, found that at some time
in the dim past a two foot ledge OF the
rich ore had been discovered and ore t.
this extent extracted.
He found inside the cave or TUNE
two stone hammers bound to wooder
handles with deer or horse hide; a mum
Der Of arrowheads and several ston,
calabashes. which led him to believ,
that the work had been done at a yer,
distant date, and perhaps before thu
dread Death Valley had been e%ntirel,
barren. These he brought back will
him in addition to the gold, which latte
he values at about $500.
He proposes to organize a party to g.
10 and take up all the ground possible
and then retire on his laurels after owe
fifty years of battle with Dame Forum
in the unequal struggle for wealth.

Sparks Yards TO be Cleared.

The railroad authorities at Sparks
took steps to prevent disturbances and
roLberies in their yards at that point
yesterday by posting a notice that all
persons must remain off the %company's

The railroad Waterman are enforcing
the order and Yesterday placed several
suspicious characters under arrest for
trespass.
1t is believed by the officials at Sparks
that this will reduce the number of
crimes and robberies there, both nf peo-
pie and cars, as much OF the mischief
has occurred ia the yards of the CON-
pany and along its tracks in the north
end of the city.

pstrolling the yards at night it is be-
lieved that the gang that has been rob-

The residents of Thurman street are
tifying the city and earning Portland
the right to be entitled the City Of
Roses. Several hundred rose bushes
have been planted in the space between
the sidewalk and property line, and
only one person has yet objected to
this.
This scheme for beautifying the city
has been tried on small scale on sew
eral street, but this movement on Thur
man street Is the first concentrated
effort on large scale In that line.
The practicability of the scheme has
been doubted by some. who agine
that dogs, horses, occasional stray cat
tie and more especially gangs of stray
hoodlums. will be likely to wreck or
destroy the rose bushes, or, at least,
strip them of their blossoms, and pre-
vent them from becoming the orna-
ments intended.
According to Mr.. Hoyts statements,
there is no danger OF this, and the boys
have been engaged to foster and pro.
tect the bushes, II they fulfill this
