position Of the batteries.
1t is now thought that the attacking
squadron consisted of a battleship four
armored cruisers and two unprotected
cruisers.
VLADIVOSTOK, March "a fleet Of
five Japanese battles-4ps and two
cruisers appeared off this place at 1925
o'clock this afternoon and bombarded
the two end shore batteries for fifty
| five minutes.
The fleet approached from the di-
rection of Askold Island, at the east en-
trance to Ussuri Bay and about thirty
1.-TWO miles southeast af Vladivostok. En-
tering Ussuri Bay, the enemy formed a
! line of attic but did not approach to a
closer range than mile and third.
They directed their fire against the
shore batteries and the town, but no
damage resulted, as most Of their 200
llyditte shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries commanded by
Generals Vernotez and Artamonoff did
not reply awaiting closer approach of
the enemy.
The Japanese fire ceased at 2:2O p.
m. and the enemy retired in the direc-
ton of Askold Island. simultaneously
two torpedo boat destroyers appeared
near Askold Island and two more near
Cape Maidel. The japanese ships were
covered with ice.
The attack resulted in noNoss to the
Russians but cost the enemy 100000
roubles (S1OO,OOO) in ammunition Most
of the projectiles were six and twelve
inch shells. ..
The populace of Vladivostok was
warned this morning of the presence
of a hostile fleet and the prospective
attack during the day. but it remained
tranquil.

FIRE INQUEST
CALLED TO-DAY

A fire inquest was called at noon to-
day and held in session until this after
noon late to determine the cause of the
fire at Lau Chips dry goods store on
Nuuanu street Saturday morning.
The most sensational testimony was
given By A. r. Gurrey Of the Under
writer's. He testified that after the fire
he had examined the interior of the
store and discovered number of books
partially burned. All of thesebooks
had been saturated with coal oil,
Evidence was introduced to show that
coal oil was kept about twenty feet dis
tant from the books.
Until last month Lau did not carry
very heavy insurance on his stock, but
in February he had taken out three new
policies bringing the insurance up to
$1,000. The stock in the burned store
was claimed to be worth $1,000.

TO PROSECUTE
THE CEMETERY

The Attorney Generals department Is
preparing to prosecute the Catholic
Cemetery Association at the request of
the Board of Health, for violation of
the rule which prohibits disturbance of
corpses after they have been buried.
The case will serve to test the boards
power to enforce its orders to close this
and other cemeteries. Burials have
continued in the King street cemetery
in violation of the boards order it is
claimed.
In the case which is to be brought a
gainst the keepers of the cemetery it
is stated that no less than six old
time corpses were disturbed by the
gravediggers in preparing for an in
terment.
The King street cemetery contains
hundreds of graves which are wholly
unknown. Its records run farther
back than do those of the Board of
Health, as it was started before there
was any such board in the islands. The
bones which are disturbed in digging
graves are usually very old ones and
rotting collins are repeatedly broken
into. The grave stones or other marks
above ground if there ever were any
have long disappeared and no one can
know whose are the remains the grave
diggers shovel Ito.
| A new rule will probably be adopted
! by the board requiring that some sort
| of a lasting stone or headmark be
placed at every grave. This will keep
record of where cOrpses are lying, so
that the same spot will not be used
twice.
| The Board has also decreed that bu-
I rails must stop in the Japanese part
of Makilii cemetery. This burial
ground is said to be so crowded that
corpses are lying only a few inches
apart in some parts. AS it is on
! government ground the power to close
! it is not open to question, and the
Japanese are making arrangements to
! secure another place.

MORE MONEY THAN
EVER FOR MILITIA
THE STATE LEGISLATURES ARE
STRENGTHENING THEIR Ma
TIONAL GUARD.

EDITOR STAR:-The Advertiser in
it's issue this morning attempts to again
mislead the public in it's article COM
menting on the militia, trying to carry
out the idea that the tendency of the
State Legislatures is to cut down the
active force or militia. Yesterday it
tried to make good the assertion that
the Taxpayers" (meaning thereby
Congress) were trying to cut down the
active force of militia, going back over
a period of Sc years, to wit, from 1912
to 1898 to sustain its contentious. When
confronted with the fact that Congress
has appropriated for the militia in 1903
100000, being three times as much as
it had appropriated in 1902, and had
also made a charge of 100000. for mil
tia against the Regular Army appro-
priation, or a total of $4,000, 600. for 1908,
it abandons it's ground that the Tax
payers" as represented by Congress
were making such an attempt and ad-
mits that Congress is doing all in it's
power to strengthen the militia. The
Advertiser now attempts, however, to
shift it's ground and pins it's faith on
the State Legislatures, in its attempt to
make good it's assertion that there is a
tendency to cut the active force of mi
litia among the States and Territories.
If the Advertiser would read up on
current history it would find that the
United States of America has grown
very considerably from 1898 to the pres
ent time, having acquired Hawaii, the
Philippines and Porto Rico, and also ac-
quired a strip of territory across the
Isthmus of Panama, and it's policy in
regard to it's Regular Army, the Navy
and the Militia of the several States

RELIEVES THE
POTATO FAMINE

The S. S. Texan arrived this morning
from Tacoma and Seattle after a very
disagreeable passage. Nothing was
broken or carried away but the vessel
was a day longer making the trip than
usual. She is the speediest of the Am
erican-Hawaiian fleet, but the wind
blew hurricane for ten days and de-
tanned her. The vessel brought be-
tween 1000 and 5000 tons Of freight for
this port. The vessel looked as if she
had nothing aboard as she was high
out Of the water. The Texan has re-
lieved the potato shortage and now the
community can enjoy some luscious
Irish potatoes. 1t Is quite a coincI-
dence that the famine of Irish potatoes
should be broken on St. Patrick's Day.
The Texan is locked at the Eva enu
of the Railway slip. She will take or
5000 tons of sugar at this place for
Delaware Breakwatsr. She will prob
ably get away for Kahului Monday ev-
ening. She is to take 1000 tons Of SUI
gar at Kahului and 1000 tons more at
Hilo.
The vessel left Tacoma March 6 and
Seattle March 7, so brought two days

and Territories has been broadened and
strengthened correspondence as evil
denced by the action of Congress and
the action of most of the State Legis-
latures as shown by their appropria-
tions, which have been increased very
considerably in 1903 over what they
were formerly, showing a tendency to
strengthen and increase the militia
along the lines of equipment, discipline
and dependable strength as required
under the Militia Act passed by Con-
gress January 21st, 1903.
Now with regard to what some of the
States have done in 1903 in regard to
appropriations per enlisted man in their
militia forces: Illinois, 100000 or $77.3g
per enlisted man; New York, $450,0O0
or $32.45 per enlisted man; Pennsylva-
mia, $4O7, 900, or SASS per enlisted man;
Massachusetts,, 1927, 1926, or $5712 per en-
listed man; Connecticut, $4,000, or
$594S per enlisted man; California,
$16O, 900, or $4,000 per enlisted man. The
State of Washington with its per ca
pita of enlisted men at $49.29 and others
with like appropriations. If the legis-
Iation and amount of appropriations by
the several State Legislatures show
anything, they show that the tendency
is to try to carry out the policy of the
Federal Government to increase and
strengthen the militia, as expressed by
the various recent acts of Congress con-
corning this matter.

MAY WITHDRAW
EDMUNDS PERMITS

High Sheriff Brown stated this af-
ternoon that he was going to have a
conference with superintendent Hollo-
way and r. w. Breckons, the attorney
for H. w. S. Edmunds, regarding the
latter's case.
The police are inclined to the opinion
that the superintendent of Public
Works can not give an exclusive priv
ilege to anybody to use the hafbor wa
ters for mooring purposes. 1t is not
unlikely that the two permits which
were granted to Edmunds will be with
drawn by Superintendent Holloway.
They may be modified however so as
to permit other people Independent of
the live fish association to use the wa
ters for mooring purposes, without the
paymeftt Of rent.

DIMOND's EXECUTION.

W. w. Dimond and Company's case
against Prince Kalanianaole was de-
cided by the Supreme court yesterday,
in a decision which denied a writ of
prohibition to stay an execution which
the company secured against Kalania-
naole for 1882. The judgment was OBJ
tanned by default in the district court
and then an appeal was taken on legal
grounds, to stop the execution. The
court Galbraith dissenting, sustains the
execution, Galbraith holding that the
summons was not legally served.

BABY WOOERS OF
TICKLE GODDESS

According to Judge Dickey it is a
greater offence for small boys to gam
BILE then for men to commit the same
offence. Certainly there was such a
disparity in the sentences inflicted in
these relative cases that considerable
comment was caused this morning "a
bout the police station.
Three little Lewsboys were before
the court this morning to answer to
charges Of having been present at a
place where gambling was conducted.
1t appears from the statement of the
police that the boys were caught play
ing China" some infantile form of
gambling for nickles. The court found
them guilty and sentenced them to the
reform sCAoOl during their minority.
The eldest Of the crowd was not over
10 years so his sentence meant Vir-
tually six years at least for having been
guilty of wooing the tickle Goddess Of
Fortune.
Murata also wOoed the tickle goddess
but he did not run against such
Calamity Jane hoodoo as did the little
boys whose names were Johnny Me-
deiros, Johnny Silva and Joe Martin.
Murata was caught with a lottery
ticket in his possession. He claimed
that he had been in a store and that
the ticket had some how gotten into
his possession-his statement was not
very clear on this score for his me-
mory was evidently cloudy. Murata
admitted that he must be guilty-just
a little bit Judge Dickey smiled that
expression Of cordial hospitality as he
invited Murata to pass a couple of days
