KING SUFFERS
FROM A COLD
Slump in the London Stock
Market After Rumor of
the Soyereign's Illness

Special Gable to The Call ana New York
Herald. Copyright. 1904 by the New York
Herald Publishing Company
LONDON, March 3.-King Edward
is slightly indisposed. He is said to
have caught cold while on a visit to
Cambridge on Tuesday. 1t is expect
ed that his Majesty will be able to go
out tomorrow. The st. James Ca
zette is authority for the statement
that the Kings illness is regarded as
too insignificant to call for the issue
of bulletins. So far as can be fore
seen his Majesty will be able to visit
st. Pauls Cathedral next Sunday, ac-
cording to programme.
The rumored illness of the King
caused a slump in the stock market
and consols dropped 5-16 from the
highest quotation of to-day's session.

While engaged in private commercial
pursuits here, George R. Carter had
the reputation of being one of the fore
most among the younger generation
as careful, progressive and success
full leaders in the local business world.
He was apprised Of every new venture.
His opinion was sought and valued.
He was invariably asked to partic-
ipate and as often as not he was chosen
for some position on the board of man

During the Treasurer's absence on
Maui. the Auditor took 1t into his head
to visit the department on Saturday
and had the cash counted, the second
time since he took office, in order to
see whether the Registrar of Public
Accounts was all right, We deem this
action on the Auditors part discour-
teous to the Treasurer. Yet we do not
deny the Auditors right to do so at
any time the spirit may move him, but
few days wait would not have hurt
him. 1t was discourtesy paramount.

Shooting Diversion For LspeTs,

We learn through correspondence
elsewhere published that a shooting
club has now been organized among
the lunas (officers and overseers) at
the Leper Settlement, and that they
have two or three meets at the butts
week. This affords somewhat of di.
version from their cares there, but
who is paying for it, the Board OF
Health or outsiders? Is the Board of
Health by and through Superintend-
ent McVeigh, it's periodical representa-
tive on the spot, attempting to make
soldiers of some of the countrys un-
fortunate wards? 1t may appear some
what harmless, but our correspondent
also adds that it is against the rules
and regulations of the place, as adopt
ed by the Board, for lepers are forbid
den to have the use of firearms there.
Can an ordinance of the Board be so
easily set aside? These matters may
as well be looked into and curtailed or
stopped altogether, If need be. We
deem it the opposite of wisdom to per-
init such levity among these unfortu-
mates and it should be Immediately
stopped.

was absent, the next in charge was the
other day called into consultation on
subject he knew nothing about and
had no voice in the matter of retrench-

of action? Is it meant to still heap in

and that "a treaty of peace will be

as it has often been heard Of before,
one of the latest recorded instances
being that of the French in its war
against Germany; in that case, instead
of the treaty of peace being signed in
Berlin, it reversed the situation and
made it Paris instead. Who knows,

opposite may likely be the result in
the present Japan-Russian war, and
then where would the boaster be at?

Its Up To Yon. Sir I!

Governor Carter called his official
family and others into consultation last
Friday, to confer as to the best means
of graphing with the present situation
the country is in, brought on by ex-
travagance, loss in revenue and in con-
sequence of the lack of certain appro-
priations following the passage and
consequent to the knocking out of the
County Act. Nothing so far has been
made public as to the results gained
and the decision arrived at by that
conference, but our dickey bird brings
us information that all the members
OF the "offlcial family" were unanimous
against the calling of the Legislature
together in special session. Why this
objection and unanimity of opinion
ar'ong them, knowing that their chief
is somewhat favorable to such a
course, unless they certainly feel that
he is insincere and is only playing to
the gallery. If so, out with it, gentle
men,

But we have our own misgivings for
this attitude on their part, one and all
of them. They fear the coming to-
gether of the Legislature, of the Sen
ate in particular, as they are all re-
cent appointees of the Governor.
Should the Legislature be called, their
appointments will have to be submit
ted to the Senate for confirmation, and
in the light of the only too recent de.
velopments in official misconduct neg.
lect and carelessness, they one and all
fear that they will not be so favorably

from Hawaii, yet no decision has been

The excuse that the Supreme. Court
must act first is only an evasion of re-
sponsibility because the Governor is
alone to blame for the negligence and
dereliction of his department heads.
Had he wanted an earlier decision on
the "test case" he would have prompt

of his administration into activity. To
Mr. Carter only can the shiftless policy
Of the administration be attributed.
And this is the feeling that exists
throughout the community. Hawaii
has never known such a period of bus
mess depression as is now upon us.
Money is tighter than a drum. There
is no confidence down town. Bankers

But nothing is done. The policy of

There is no question of public welfare
at stake; it is purley and simply one
of politics The Governor is more
afraid of losing votes at the coming
election than anything else. He has
shown this in his published interviews.
He has shown it in the manner of
council that he has recently been seek
ing. He has shown it in his converse
tions with individuals. He has shown
1t by evading direct answer to busi-
ness men and bankers who are utterly
tired of the do-nothing policy and are
asking for some kind of a policy,
whether good, bad or Indifferent. Act,

President Roosevelt's selection of Mr.,
Carter, therefore, was felt to be good
one in many respects While some
doubt existed as to his capabilities as
a statesman, it was almost universally
felt that he could be depended upon in
an emergency, that he would act
promptly, fearlessly. and with vigor.
But in this respect the public has been
sorely disappointed. The man of bust
ness progression has disappeared be-
fore the political trimmer.

IN SHOOT CASE
MORMON WITNESSES TESTIFY.
President Smith cIings to His Wives
Plural Marriage Of Apostle
Cannon.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Three wit
nesses were heard yesterday in the
case Of Senator Reed Smoot before the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections. The committee resumed its
Investigations after a long recess.
The first witness was Rev. J. M.
Buckley. editor of the Christian Advo-
cate of New York. who told of Nor
mon meeting he attended In Salt Lake
City last summer In which President
Joseph Smith declared he would not
give up his plural wives.
George Reynolds. a high official Of
the church. testified in regard to the
ceremonies that have taken place in.
the endowment house and concerning
ecclesiastical divorces granted by the
church, and John Henry Haynlin told
of the plural marriage OF his sister.
Lillian Hamlin, to Apostle Abram Can
non. which ceremony he said he I'M
derstood to have been performed by
President Smith since the manifesto
OF 1890.
Most of the testimony 7elated to the
inside church policy. but did not con-
meet Senator Smoot with any Of the,
alleged violations of national or state
statutes.
DIR. Buckley told of visits to Utah in,
1901 and again last June. AT that timep
he attended a joint convention of the
Young Mems and Young Women's.
Unions of Mormonism. Those who
spoke were Brigham II. Roberts, e.
mira s. Taylor and President Smith.
The audience was estimated by the
witness at 1000 persons.
DIR. Buckley read from an article he
had written concerning the convention
and quoted from the speech Of Presi-
dent Smith on the subject of marriage.
The witness said that for ten to fif-
teen minutes President Smith had
talked of the responsibility OF marriage
and how the contract is regarded by
many persons.
President Smiths voice rang out las
strong as William J. Bryan's," as he.
defended the Mormon marriage and
declared that polygamy was not aduL
terry, but was a system OF marriage
President Smith was quoted by the
witness as saying that he could not,
give up any Of his wives. that 1t meantt
eternal damnation to abandon a multi
plicity of wives.
DIR. Buckley said he had made In,
quiry concerning Senator Smoot and,
he had found no one who said a word,
against him. Everywhere the Witness
said, Senator Smoot was given On ex-
cellent character.
