PRINCESS IN
A COLLISION
Kawananakoa Carriage
Smashes Into Turk
Rig.

The Princess David Kawananakoa
was thrown from her carriage while on
her way TO the Opera House last nven-
ing. The accident was due to COLI
page and light rig driven by Mrs.
Frank Turk. The mishap took place on
King street opposite the Rapid Tran
sit switch below Piikoi street Mrs.
Turk was driving towards Waikiki and
the Kawananakoa carriage was coming
into town. A passing electric car evil
IDENTIFY disconnected the driver of the
lighter rig and the horses attached to
both vehicles collided, the Turk buggy
being almost thrown under the noofs
of the Princes horses. While the fright
ened animals We're prancing and rear

from her seat in the carriage and was
thrown heavily to the ground. She was
the street car and seemed to be unin-
jured. Prince David and Miss Camp
bell, who We're also occupants of the
carriage, alighted safely, and Mrs. Turk
also got out of her rig without injury.
dozen gentlemen in evening clothes
who were on the car came to the rescue
and held the frightened horses while
they were disentangled from the broken
harness. One of the kawananakoa
horses was thrown to the ground and
was slightly bruised. The shafts on
the Turk buggy were broken, and the
box and wheels were also damaged.
No one seemed quite certain as to who
was to blame for the accident. Prince
David told Mrs. Turk that she should
have turned to the right and Mrs Turk
said the Princes coachman was on the
wrong side of the street.
After the accident, which occurred
about o'clock, Prince David's party
proceeded to the theater.

UNcONFlRMED RUMORs.

The usual "unconfirmed rumor" of
! Russian success. follows the definite
! news of japanese victory. Habltually
since this war began. the Russians have
tried to take the edge off their humilia-
ton by claiming subsequent advan-
tages. They have come in strong on
"unconfirmed rumors," though such
claims as they have made, If true,
would have been heralded by joyous
official bulletins, not by the gossip. of
the clubs.
For example: Soon after the initial
Japanese triumph. when the Retvizan.
Tsarevitch and other ships of war were
put out of commission. Russia publish
ed an "unconfrmed rumor" to the effect
that 1900 japanese, in attempting to
pulsed and that the Cossacks had
sabred 400 Japanese near Dalny
1t also claimed to have bombarded
Hakodate. Neither story was true.
After Togo's second bombardment of
Port Arthur, when he sunk hulks to
bar the entrance to the port and was
supposed to have sealed it, the Rus
slams put forth the claim that they
had destroyed four Japanese battle
ships. They did this to save their
face" and to depress the japanese. In
point of fact they had not sunk a Jap
anese vessel of any kind.
A subsequent attempt to seal the
harbor and coincident advance of the
japanese towards the Yalu lowered
Russian prestige again. Upon this, st.
Petersburg let loose another 'uncon-
firmed rumor" that $4,000 japanese
always 12,OOO-had attempted 10 land
west of the Yalu and been driven
There was nothing in it.
Still the game of humbug goes on.
This time an effort is being made to
make people forget the Zassaltch de-
feat in the "unconfirmed rumor" that
the Japanese have been repulsed at
Kiu-lian-Cheng with loss of 10000. a
victory like that could not be carried
fast enough to st. Petersburg by the
official telegraph nor got to the people
soon enough by the official bulletins
and yet the world is expected to believe
that after it all happened the news was
permitted to circulate only as an ''un-
confirmed rumor" on the boulevards.

THE DEVELOPING CAMPAIGN.

The Russians take great deal for
granted when they say that the Jap
anese will follow them into the noun
tains which lie between the falu river
and the railroad and accept battle on
their own ground. Assuming that the
japanese care to invade Manchuria at
all. the way is open for them to fank
the forces now intrenched In the noun
tains and send them flying helter-skel-
ter towards Mukden without firing a
shot a glance mt the map viii show
that the landing of japanese army
anywhere above Port Arthur-a thing
that ought to be easily done under the
guns of Togos fleet-would put the
Japanese on both sides OF the noun
tains with Kuropatkin's advance divi-
sions in between. Common prudence
would then impel Russian retreat un-
less the cars forces opposing the Jap
anese could muster overwhelming num-
bers.
There are indications that the Jap
anese will do something on the Lao.
tong peninsula before long. Their gee
ond army of invasion has been mobIlin-
ing for weeks past and has not stated
anywhere as yet. There are troops
enough in Korea to attend to the 1alu
campaign, leaving a fresh army, loh JUG
strong, free to act in another directiop.
In late dispatches the japanese spok"
of the possibility of starving out the
Port Arthur garrison. To do so they
would have 10 cut it off from commu-
nication with the North, which means
a.. of Ia
besiege the place and at the same time
to stand off or repulse Russian reliei
force marching southwark. such STRAIT
egy would be very likely, as we say,
to compel the Russians in the noun =
tains to get out and join the maii
body, leaving the way clear for the
Japanese forces now on the 1alu 10
advance to the railroad if it so desired.
A parallel instance appears in the MS
tory of the Turkish defence of Plevna
in the war with Russia in 1SI1-IS The
Cars army could not dislodge the
Turks until Todtleben came out of MS
retirement and showed them how TO
threaten the place by sending another
army to another point. once this move
ment had been made the Turks got ou.
of Plevna in a hurry.
one thing is sure: the Japanese Will
not walk into the trap which the Rus
slams have prepared and advertised.
They will not follow the plan of cam
paign which the enemy has drawn up
for them. In originality of design, II
shrewdness and cunning and in vigor
of execution the japanese generals ask
no odds of any other in the Worli.
Come what may they know precisely
what they are about While kuropat-
kin fumes and talks they are silently
working out their plans; and as soon
as Togo seals up Port Arthur so thai
not even the torpedo boats of the ene-
my can get out to harass Japanese
transports, something will be done to
test the strength of the main Russi III
army. If the opposing forces meet the
shock will be heard round the world.

NO DUAL LANGUAGE.

If Congress wants to develop Hawaii
along traditional American lines 1t
will not only reject bills establishing
the dual language privilege in the Ter
ritorial Legislature but it will strength
en- the provision in the Organic Act
requiring that all proceedings of the
Legislature shall be in English.
No man can be an American in mora
than a perfunctory way until he knows
and reads the language in which the
ideas, aspirations, beliefs and principles
of Americanism are expressed. He re-
mains a foreigner so long as he adhereS
to an alien speech. AS an American
legislator he must know English to be
competent; as an American citizen he
must know it to be patriotic. To per-
NIT the use of two languages in the
Legislature of Hawaii would be TO per-
petuate an alien spirit there and make
the process of Americanizing the Poly
nesian citizens here that much more
difficult.
The Americans of Hawaii call upon
Congress to assist in giving the voters
of this group the common language
which will unite them, not the dual
language which will divide them and
perpetuate race prejudices.

A CHANCE FOR CARTER.

The administration of Governor Car
ter has a chance to distinguish itself by
making Hawaii an American Territory
in racial fact as well as in political sta
tus. Hawaii is American now, legal
ly speaking and in it's form of adminis-
tration but a Territory in which men
of American birth and ancestry are
fewer than either Chinese, Japanese,
Polynesians or Portuguese and are be-
coming fewer all the time, is hardly
American enough to satisfy the policy
of a nation which, as its President
says, insists upon our development
along traditional American lines"
To make Hawaii American it's ma
tional population must be increased by
the Introduction of as many citizens
from the mainland as can make a liv-
ing on its Soil. In other words the
public land must be divided up be-
tween bona-fide settlers of the class
that is making a success at Wahiawa
not left around to be picked up by
local spectators or by those inveterate
foes of development, the grazing
classes. We have an immense public
domain, much of which is idle and
much devoted to grazing in the ratio
of five acres to a COW. There ought
to be 10000 white families occupying 1t
in small tracts and raising pineapples,
sisal, bananas, fruit, vanilla, tobacco,
dairy products, pork, poultry and their
own food. Such families would not be
hard to get. They are bombarding the
authorities for land data and getting
no encouragement. They are told that
there is plenty of land but that it isn't
ready for them. Nor are there any
signs of preparing to get 1t ready.
Land matters are left standing where
they have stood for years and the
country is getting more and more Ori-
entalized. 1t is time for change.
The opportunity is before Governor
Carter to bring this change about and
make his name memorable as the
builder of an American commonwealth.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-05-06
LUNAS AND LABORERS.

1t will be a good thing hereafter for
plantation lunas to remember that they
are not dealing with laborers of a SER
vile and inferior race but with the
sturdy and self-respecting subjects of
a power which means to assert itself
in the world as the equal of any other
The class of men used as lunas is not
credited with GOODNESS of judgment,
kindness of disposition, evenness of
temper or with moral poise; and by
leaving to it the control of large bodies
of high spirited Japanese. very grave
chances are taken, not only of trouble
on the plantations but of embarrass-
ment for the United States govern
ment.
The risk is the greater because of the
trend of the war in the Far East. The
japanese are getting more self-con-
fidence; they are losing their super
ginning to realize that even in the
Hawaiian cane fields they have rights.
If treated well, they will stay here
because they are poor and need work.
But it will be hard to keep them If
badly governed and they will not be
tractable in the meantime. 1t seems TO
this paper that the greater the care
which plantation managers exercise
over the choice and conduct of lLnas
in future, the better for their estates.

The Star is correct in its statement
that losses of the franchise follow GER
tain convictions in the Federal court.
1t is the conviction and not the degree
of sentence imposed under it which de-
termines the forfeiture of civil rights.
Neither Meheula nor Testa can vote or
hold office again unless pardoned by
the President; and the publicly dis
loyal utterances of one of these men
would probably make II impossible for

Read in the light of the Russian ad-
missions about the losses on the Yalu,
the following extract from the official
newspaper at Port Arthur is worthy of
a place among the humor of the war:
The soldiers of Russia, in their ada
mantine firmness, regard with contempt
the fighting power of the japanese
army.
Tine Russian soldier has already said
so. Is it possible to wage war against
the soldier of Japan at all?' asks the
soldier of Russia. i will dry the sol
dier of Japan on my bayonet and send
him home in letter
"In this utterance the whole great
ness of the Russian nation finds expires
sion.
I'VE did not wish war. We did not
even contemplate the possibility of wal
with such foe as Japan. But now
that war has begun, ii can end only
with an awful punishment of the guilty
ones responsible"
