Aid From Honolulu Japan csc i.

A meeting of representative Japan
csc of Honolulu was held last evening
at the Japanese. school on Nuuanu
street to discuss ways and means of
aiding relatives and friends now serv-
ing in the japanese army and navy.
Mr.. C. Shioda, manager of the Kei Hin
bank, presided. Consul-General Mkt
Saito was present.
Since the opening Of the war a move
ment has been afoot to raise a popular
fund among the Japanese of Hawaii to
be forwarded to the japanese govern
ment as the gift of the Emperor's
faithful subjects in these Islands.
This matter was discussed but in the
end it was decided that such a fund,
If raised. should be merely for the ben
eft of relatives and friends Of the SUBJ
scribers.
Consul Salto advised those present
that the United States will declare her
neutrality in the war between Japan
and Russia, and, as the Japanese living
in Hawaii are living within a portion
of the United States territory, 1t might
not be wise for the Japanese residents
to embarrass the Federal government
by raising funds within its borders as
direct gift for the Japanese govern
ment.
The plan to raise money. or whatever
else the subscribers may desire to offer,
to go to relatives and friends, was then
decided on.

The Extent of Asa's
BurgIaries
Large.

Asa, King OF the Local Burglars,
made another trip about the city yester.
day afternoon with Officer Dan Renear
and told the police the location of a
number of houses where he had disposed
of plumber In the case of almost every
house visited by the police the house
holders were awaiting their coming.
AS soon as they noticed Renear and
his prisoner approaching them they
would say: Eyes, we have the stuff,
and we have been waiting for the police
to come and get it"
The result of the afternoons work was
the addition of the following to the
goods previously sliced by the police
and held at the station:
Five chairs.
One rocking chair.
One marble washstand
One fancy hat rack and mirror.
One picture album, containing a large
number of ancient looking family pho
tographs.
One checketboard table.
One silver castor.
One half dozen leather seat office
chairs.
Three rattan chairs.
Bag filled with large assortment OF
clothing.
One large rattan rocking chair.
One brass hanging lamp
Despite all their efforts the police have
been unable to persuade Asa to disclose
the place where he had lived prior to his
arrest. When the police learn where his
residence is they expect to find large
quantity of stolen goods.
Asa shows disposition to break Jail
in case opportunity offers. He has been
keeping a catlike watch on the turnkey
and surveying the Jail yard walls as if he
intended TO make an attempt to get away |
For this reason he has been kept locked
securely in cell during the day time,
as well as at night

Treasurer Kepoikai talks sense when
he says that this is no time for Hawaii
to be building armories. Under certain
circumstances a National Guard be-
comes a luxury; and such circum-
stances seem to have arisen in Hawaii
where funds are low and where the
United States maintains a sufficient
garrison to keep order. That the Fed
eral arm is willing and prompt to in
tervene when needed, was shown dur
ing the great Chinatown fire when Col.
Mills brought his command into town.
The Advertiser is not prepared to sug
gest the disbandnent of the militia,
but 1t feels that the cost of maintaining
it should be kept, during hard times,
at the lowest practicable figure. There
is no memorable need for armories, but
there are needs of the most pressing
kind which the armory money would
meet.

Recent dispatches named the Koreitz
as one of the Russian cruisers captured
Koreitz is not cruiser but is a gun
boat of 1900 tons which was built at
Stockholm in 1886. Naval writer's have
recently stated that she is of no fight
ing value. Her armament consisted OF
two S-lnch, one 6-inch, four 4-inch guns
The Koreitz is a single screw vessel and
her maximum sea speed is only eleven

MILITARY COMPARISONS.

This paper publishes today a cornpar-
alive table of the naval and military
strength of the belligerents. The
showing looks badly for japan but so
far as the Russian part of it is con-
cerned it is open to doubt No one
outside of the Cars advisers knows
very much about the actual militant
strength of Russia but from past ex-
perience there is reason to believe that
&. much of 1t is bluff. The discovery
that Russia has but 100000 men in
Manchuria instead of 300, 900 as claim
ed, may or may not be true; but such
shrinkage would surprise no one who
d, is familiar with the chameleon phases
of Russian administrative duplicity.
There are experts who think Russia
will fail in a military way precisely as
France did in 1870, for lack of the men
and supplies with which she is credit
ed on paper. Up to a few days after
the declaration of war against Ger
many, France stood as the foremost
military power in Europe and yet she
was, of all important States, the weak
est. She neither had the men, the
equipment nor the discipline that had
been supposed. Under the first blows
of the German hammer her pretentious
military fabric went to pieces. AS for
Russia in none of her wars has she
done anything proportionate to the
strength she has claimed. The Cri-
mean campaign was little to her credit
and she had the struggle of her life to
prevail against Turkey at time when
the Ottoman army was mere armed
mob. Back of all that she was con-
stantly beaten by Napoleon and only
saved from ruin by her winter weather.
In the Picking campaign her soldiers
were outpointed at every turn by the
Japanese-and so were some others of
even higher celebrity.
Even granting the existence, in Rus
STA, of a vastly superior numerical
force of troops to that of her antag-
onist, the problem to be solved by ia
pan is only with the troops which
Russia can put into Manchuria and
Korea. Drawing upon her population
OF 100000, Japan, with the mastery
of the sea, can land an indefinite num-
Der of recruits on the mainland; while
Russia must depend on one railroad
track 5000 miles long (from Moscow
which the japanese are already blow
ing up and which may also be dam
aged by Nihilists in Russia proper In
brief 1T is not the number of men Rus
STA has which counts but the number ,
that can be brought to bear effectively. |
Meanwhile this paper ventures the
prediction that the japanese army in |
the perfection of it's discipline in it's |
mobility and dash, in the thoroughness
of its commissariat, in the keenness of |
its strategy, and in it's flawless courage
and patriotism will gain a position in |
history not inferior to that of any army
which ever took the field. Man for
man and general for general, it need
not fear comparisons anywhere. So far
as the navy is concerned it is speaking
for itself.

Japan's ambition for many years has
been to whip white power. If she
succeeds in doing that, she thinks she
will have to be Rsckoned with in all
capitals especially in questions affect
ing farther Asia and the North Pacific
And she thinks rightly. Triumph over
state like Russia, which even Ma
poleon could not prevail against. would
rank Japan among the three or four
first-class modern powers.

RAINFALL IN HONOLULU
FOR PAST THIRTY YEARS

in regard to the rainfall during the
past thirty years at the residence of

DURING THE PAST THIRTY YEARS
TO DEC. 81, 1903
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1904-02-12

During the month of January, 1901
it rained 23 days out of thirty-ore,
amounting TO 7.2O inches. During six
days of February there has fallen 17.si
inches, making in all for the six weeks
of this year 2511 inches.
The average annual rainfall during
the past thirty years has been forty
inches the smallest rainfall during thar
time was In 1878 1897 inches-and the
greatest In 1887 59.s7 inches.
We have had thus far this year 25n
inches more than fell during the whole
year 1878 23.97 or in 1889 24.Ss With the
present indications of the weather Ct
is more than likely that the rainfall
for February will be over 1000 inches

the stoutest roofs and set the streets
afloat, driving even the police to the
station for shelter Up the oahu rail-

Waikiki and Moiiili bridges lost their
grip. Wherever there was hill the
flood dug channel and in some cases
many of them. A flood broke loose
near the Makiki fire station and Piikoi
street became a river a foot and more
in depth. When morning broke the
rain abated but up to 10 o'clock 1917
inches had fallen at the Castle place.
The Rapid Transit cars began running
about six o'clock yesterday morning
but their schedules were disarranged
in half an hour. Liliha street was
only partly negotiable and the Manoa

Believe the MikadO's Forces Are
Sure of Victory.
St. Petersburg, April 21-The
Birscheviya Nedomosti publishes let
ter from its correspondent at Pekng in
which it is said the confidence of the
Chinese government in the success of
the japanese army is shown by the re-
quest of Yang Shu, the Chinese min
lister at Toyko, that the japanese gov
eminent direct the commanders of the
troops to preserve the imperial palaces
and tombs at Mukden from Dissertation
and destruction.
The writer says that the Chinese
government is in sympathy with ia
pan, and that it has begun to express
this sympathy more cautiously. He
adds that the Chinese in the United
States have sent to the Peking govern
ment large sums of money to be used
in the reorganization of the army and
navy and that ostensibly because of Il
desire to become acquainted with old
Mongolian weapons, the japanese are
supplying Monaghan hunters with
modern rifles.

through senatorial courtesy, Senator
