a Fishy Tale.

TACOMA CWash.), October 12.-
The Russian ship Glenard, just ar
rived here from San Francisco, claims
to have been overhauled when about
200 miles outside of the Golden Gate
by a Japanese cruiser and, after ex-
animation, allowed to proceed to her
destination. After ascertaining that
the Glenard was merely in ballast,
without any cargo worthy of carrying
away as a prize, the ship was allowed
to proceed. The japanese vessel
shortly afterward disappeared in a
southerly direction. Captain Enlund
was unable to give any reason why
the Japanese vessel allowed him to
proceed, as. under the ordinary rules
of war, the Glenard would have been
confiscated. He thinks, however, that
the japanese vessel did not want to
be bothered with a windjammer.
The afternoon papers here have
scare heads on the story, but locss.
marine men do not know what to
make of the details given Enlund
cannot give the name of the vessel
beyond that it is a long japanese one
Marine men hint that some Japanese
commercial liner bound either to or
from San Francisco may have run
close to the Russians and scared him.

DEMAND FOR TROPICAL PRODUCTS.

The growing demand of the people
of the United States for tropical and
subtropicaI products is pointed out in
the Annual Report of the Chief of the
Bureau of Statistics, just issued by
the Department of Commerce and
Labor. IT shows that the total value
of tropical and subtropical products
brought into the United States during
the fiscal year 1904 amounted to $780,,
$50, IT'S, including those brought from
the Philippines. In nearly all of the
tropical and subtropical products the
importations of the fiscal year 1904 are
materially larger than in earlier years,
while in quantity the increase is even
greater than that in value. because of
the declining prices of many of these
articles
The total quantity of sugar, for ex-
ample, brought into the United States
in 1904 from the Tropics, including
that brought from Porto Rico and the

FIRST CAMPAIGN RooRBAcH.

The fool killer is needed near the cor
uer of Fort and King streets. A red
and yellow circular, published at the
Bulletin office. was being distributed
| there yesterday morning, warning read
| ers to beware of the Devil, the Beef
Trust, and Waller and charging that
the election of Mr.. Waller would run
the price of beef up to fifty cents
pound and deprive families of the nee
essaries of life. Such tactics defeat
their own object
Mr.. Waller is a gentleman who would
be as valuable in the Legislature as he
is in the business community, where
he is looked upon with respect. which
is not lessened by the fact that he is a
candidate for Office, This respect is
none the less than it was four years
ago for s. NJ. Damon, ]. o. Carter and
Paul Isenberg, when this same commu-
nifty refused to vote for them, as 1t
will refuse to vote for Mr.. Waller at
this election.
The reason for such refusal is that
three good men have been nominated
for the office by the party which stands
for progress and economy, and the way
to convert those principles into effective
action is to stand back of such NOM
inees and give them united support.
Mr. Waller may be as good a man
as the other nominees, and If there
were a fourth senatorship to be filed,
he would I'LL it well, but with a num-
Der of other candidates and only three
vacancies to be provided for, there is
no sense in frittering away votes by
dividing them around The only effec-
tive way to make every vote count for
its par value is to concentrate on the
three good men who have the best
chance of being elected, and those men !
are undoubtedly Dowsett, Lane and
Bishop.
Meanwhile the yellow circulars ought |
to be suppressed.

HISTORICAL FACTS

| As general information, valuable in
the study of the present war in the
orient. few historical facts may be
useful. Genghis Khan or Jenghls
Khan was not a Persian, but a Mon
! golian. He was born in Mongolia III
1852 and died in his native country in
1927. He conquered northern China,
took Pekin III 1915. and perfected the
conquest of central Asia 121S-1221. lie
was the founder OF the Empire of the
Mongols, which mastered large parts
of what is now European Russia. 1t
was a descendant of Genghis Khan,
Baber, who established the Empire of
the Moguls, and captured Hindustan in
1926 This empire was divided between
the Mahrattas and the British in 1907,
and, in 1857, the last nominal Mogul
Emperor was deposed. In 1910, all
Russia, as it then existed, was invaded
by the Mongols and, except Novgorod,
reduced to possession. The Mongol
yoke continued until 1880
1n6SS important cOuHGCl1On
with other points, at once explain and
deepen the extraordinary contrast In
the existing war, in which Russia has
represented not only European but
Asiatic medievalism, while Japan, more
completely Asiatic in blood, haS stoou
for modern ideas. 1t was Napoleon
Bonaparte who said in substance, if
not in exact words: Scratch RUS
sian and you find a Tartar under
MEATH" The Tartars or Tatars origin
ally inhabited Chinese Tartary, COM
posed of Mongolia and Manchuria.
Numerous tribes or peoples of mixed
Turkish, Mongol and Tartar extraction
now inhabit the eastern part of Rus
STA in Europe. In the Russian popula-
ton, there is a deep Asiatic strain, and
Russian policy has been largely found
ed on the recognition of this truth,
but without reference to modern con-
ditions.

THE STRAIGHT TICKET.

The arguments in favor Of voting
straight ticket are well known to this
community. The last legislative cam
paign was run on the straight ticket
basis, and we all know the results
The straight ticket was elected, and
after that it was straight no longer;
but that is no reason why straight
ticket should not he voted when the
nominees are men of character and
ability. and representative men,
The Republican nominees on the SEN
atorial ticket are of this type, and the
Advertiser most heartily commends their
support by ali Republicans, and by all
voters Of any party who want to see
the senate remain in conservative con-
troll
Cecil Brown is running on no plat
form except the announced one of pro-
test against the Governor personally.
1t would be just as logical If he should
run as a protest against the japanese
war or against free trade in England,
for hisseiectien or defeat viii have no
more effect on or control Of the Cow
ernor than they will en- the war or
EngIand's tariff policy.
If Brown is elected. however, he viii
feel that he has received a special COM
mission from Providence to make life
miserable for the Governor, and he
VIII have to make gSod by tearing his
hair and whooping it up for six days
in the week when legislative days cost
a thousand dollars apiece.
We have had enough of personalities
and personal exploitation in the legis-
lature, and want business session
Lane, Bishop and Dowsett are run
ming on a business platform and have
no axes out for the Governor or any
one else Their election would mean
progress and attention to business
Browns election would mean an ex-
pensive hulIababoo and the airing of
a personal grievance
AS to Mr.. waller. straight out anu
ont Democratic nominee to the legis-
lature has not the ghost of chance
for election in Honolulu, except
through Republican votes.
UNIT Republican nominees will be |
scratched, by Republican voters, in the |
interest of the party and public morals; |
but there is no reason why any Re-
publican voter should scratch the sem
atorial ticket.
The only excuse that we can see for
the nomination of Mr.. Waller is that |
a few dyed-in-the-woo1 Democrats live |

they are emulating the seven wise vir-
gins, keeping their lamps burning. and

where jobs are plenty, work light and /

to keep up skeleton organization and |
a receptive mood and by taking adj
vantage of Republican mistakes get |
as many Republican votes as possible. |
Waller serves as binding material for
the organization and as raider in the
Republican preserves.
If the Republicans will in future |
nominate such men only as are on their
present senatorial ticket they need
fear no boiling or scratching.
Vote the straight Republican sem

When asked about the prospect Of floating the

committal. but inquiries in government circles
developed a decidedly increased hopefulness
that the money will be forthcoming. though
there are no expectations that the hotaton win
he accomplished until the war uncertainties I'm

The Associated Press Is authoritatively in
formed that the Loan Law. amended. is salts

ment Is negotiating. but that various minor
questions still unsettled. such as the form of
the security. the manner and extent TO which the
customs receipts shall be pledged. the character
Of the bond issue. the manner OF exchange and
other details Of the loan contract. The opinion
prevailing in government circles is that none Of
these questions will present serious difficulties If
the syndicate represented by Nr. Nanderlip
finds the general outlook for making the loan
reasonably promising.
