RUSSIA CELEBRATES.
Anniversary Of the Coronation Of
the Car Commemorated.
The SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR BEGUN.


st. Petersburg, May 2S.-The news
Of the Japanese victory at Kin-Chou
was published on Russian holiday,
the anniversary Of the coronation OF
Gar Nicholas. While there was little
information In government circles re-
garding the Russian defeat the news
caused the celebrations at Tsarskoye-
Selo to be shortened. Only a brief
service was celebrated in the chapel,
instead of the customary litany, and
the car spent the remainder OF the
day in the TRANSACTION Of business.
Judging from Its aspect, st. Peters
burg might be celebrating success
instead Of q reverse. All houses were
decorated and carts and street cars
were behagged. The crowds in front
Of the bulletin boards were slightly
larger than usual and soldiers and sail
ors, of whom the city II full, we're in
constant demand. delivering expert
opinions to interested little groups
along the streets and through the
parks. In the hotels and clubs the
bulletins were eagerly scanned. All
the news Of the disaster to the Rus
sian arms comes from foreign sources
and the government Is making no ef-
fort to minimize or to suppress It.
The authorities are without news Of
their own.
The general staff, in view Of the for
egn news of the capture Of Nn-Chou,
admitted that there was little now To
hinder a Japanese advance on Port
Arthur itself and that the actual siege
Of Port Arthur had begun In earnest |
The staff insisted, however, on the
ability of the fortress to hold out
Americas Good Ofaces rendered.
Washington, May 28.-Through It's
ambassador at st. Petersburg and its
minister at Toxic, the government has
made known, informally and delicate
ly. to the Russian and Japanese gov
ernments that the president stands
ready to tender his good Offices to bring
about peace between them at the mo-
ment when both are willing that such
a step shall be taken. It has been
made clear to the United States, how
ever, that neither Russia nor Japan
is willing to tolerate for an instant at
this time the idea Of foreign media
ton to put an end to the war. Realiz-
ing this, the representatives Of the
United States have not persisted in
pressing the subject, but have con-
tented themselves with making plain
that whenever Russia and Japan are
ready to adjust their differences the
government at Washington is to be
considered as the mutual friend who
will act the role of peacemaker. 1t
should be understood that at no time
was any direct proposal made by this
governments representative.
A Further Japanese Surprise Predicted.
London, May pa Toxic corre-
spondent Of the Telegraph says he
learns that the Japanese troops are
now within 10 miles of Port Arthur
and that the Russians suffered heavier
than. the Japanese. who
have taken guns and other material
and few prisoners. He predicts a
further surprise as Japan is now in
,reasing her efforts In all directions.
A Toxic correspondent Of the
Chronicle says that the Japanese cap

WAIMEA IS NEARLY SOLID

fortunately all right, Mr.. johnson says
that some of the men who wanted to be
candidates We're unfit for any position.
1t was only with great difficulty that
these men We're prevented from run

best natives do not want the govern
ment changed and that the poorer
classes don't care one way or the other,
and simply follow the lead of the Of
fice-seeking Hawaiians.
If there must be County government
Waimea people want the form changed.
They prefer to have the supervisors
appointed by the Governor as provided
in the Organic Act. And they want the
whole island of Hawaii to be made into
but one county. At present the division
is very inequitable as to taxes. East

WAIMEA, Jan. 25.-In Waimea there
ID almost unanimous opposition to
County government. Whatever the
feeling previously, the people, natives
as we'll as whites, are Disguised with
the County Act.
f. w. Carter, manager of the Par
ker ranch, says he is opposed to Couf-
ty governpent, and also that nearly ali
the voters in the district are against 1t.
The workings of the County Act have
Disguised everyone with that form of
government. Supervisors appointed by
the Governor is his idea of what the
County form should be.
Frank Johnson, chairman of the Dis
trict Road Board, is also opposed to
County government. He says also that
Joe Bell, the leading Hawaiian of Wal
mea, has also told him that he was OPP
posed to it. Johnson's objection is that
it places the reins of government in the
hands of irresponsible persons. Though

OTHER GOVERNORS WANT
A SALARY LIKE CARRIERS

Following are extracts from a debate
in the House of Representatives on
January IA:
Mr.. Wilson of Arizona: Mr.. Speaker,
the amendment offered yesterday was
not to increase the salary of the gov
ernor of this Territory. but to increase
salary allowed by law The law of
the land gives to the governor of Ari-
iona $500 a year; and 1 say it Is not
enough. Governor Brodie has today
services to perform such as are re-
quired of scarcely any governor of any
of the States, because of the many re-
ports, etc, that are required from him
by the Federal Government, in addi-
ton to his duties in attending to the
government of the people of the Ter
ritory. In area and In the amount of
yond almost any OF the States. The
salary allowed by law Is $500. II the
law is right-and Congress passed the
law-then It Is right to pay the salary,
for II would be a farce to say that the
law gives you something and the APP
preparation Committee takes 1t away
The law is either right or wrong. and
the law gives 1t. The appropriation
should be made to cover II, and that
Is all We ask.

NAHIKU STOCK
SALE INCIDENTS

The office of Alexander e Baldwin,
Ltd, sustained a run of Nahiku Sugar
! Cos stockholders at its paying wicket
i yesterday 1t was the occasion of the
| payment of forty cents in the dollar
| for Nahiku stock. A comical process
| sion started the run. This formed at
the Office of Jas. F. Morgan, vice pres
ident of Nahiku Sugar Co., who Joined
in it accompanied by President w. H.
Hogs, Secretary H. Armitage, F. Ly-
man, John Ouderkirk, Q. H. Berrey,
c. Kaiser and, leading the van, Thos.
F. McTighe carrying a sugar cane
stalk. Morgan's office boy, ringing
the auction bell, was some distance
ahead as herald of the procession.
Each of the marchers bore in hand a
sugar bag marked "Nahiku A Sugar."
Edward r. Adams of A. & b., on
passing through the office spied the
sugar cane and whipping out his knife
proceeded to indulge his sweet tooth.
Thus he sacrificed an interesting tro-
ply to his appetite.
Nahiku plantation was abandoned,
for various reasons, after it had in
Cured considerable debt to Alex
ander & Baldwin, agents. Two years
ago the company voted to lease the
water rights of Nahiku, which are val
liable, to Hama Plantation Co. This
proposition failed of contamination,

selves to the possession of certificates
representing what they deemed prac-
tically dead horse.' At the recent
annual meeting, the Nahiku stockhold-

The appearance of six members OF
the Salvation Army on the Sonoma, on
their way to Honolulu, was displeasing

dicted for perjury In connection with
testimony that he had given during the
trials OF members OF the Ten-Dollar-

Adachi was arrested as he was attempt

who gained considerable notoriety as
secretary OF the Ten Dollar Club an
organization which was made for the
purpose Of importing women from
Japan to this country and then assist

Japanese gamblers whenever they
should be charged with crime and to in

The large number of Japanese at

gentleman who made that statement
that he is mistaken. The thousand
dollars on the side that is spoken of is
a contingent fund, to be used for pur-
poses not beneficial to the governor at
all; to, be used for the payment of re-
wards and things of that character.
1t does not attach to his salary at all
or pay for his services in any respect.
Therefore, l say, that can not accrue
to him. 1t accrues to the public SER
vice, but not to him. If it is right to
laws demand, to take away the re-
quirements of the law. then it is right
to vote down this amendment and say

House you shall not have it," I ap-

the law, and to give that which the
law maintains and for which the law
