than one important meeting yesterday
There was small gathering of ship
ping men there at p. M, to consider
a subject as important, in its own way,
to the general welfare as the imposing
conference on county government of
the morning.
C. S. Holloway, Superintendent of
Public Works, brought the conference
together to discuss Honolulu wharf and
dock improvements. Besides the Su-
perintendent and his consulting en-
gineer, Marston Campbell, there were
present: c. L. Wight, president of the
Wilder Steamship Co.. J. A. Kennedy,
president of the Inter-Island Steam
senting H. Hackfeld & Co., Ltd; Fred.
Whitney, w. G. Irwin & Co., Ltd; and

COOPER SCHEME MODIFIED.
Former Superintendent Cooper's
great dock improvement scheme for
the "outer harbor"-that is, the por-

fence as those of hundreds of other
parents in this city. Homework"
has been the bane of my existence for
some years past and the stand your

responsive chord in my family. To

cause he couldn't understand the pc
culiar system of working out an arith-
metical problem when you are tired
out with your days work was a cir
cumstance in many of the Honolulu
homes in the past. But We now I'M
derstand that ours is not the only
stupid boy or girl that has to do
Homework" but that the Sinking Of
the teachers duty has been the ex-
perience of most Of our people.
One could, however, forgive, in the
inaptitude of the scholar, the desire Of
the teacher to have him taught at
home, If he did not know how little
time the teacher really gave to his
pupils. The above figures viii show
it.
One word more. We all have the
deepest respect for the teacher whom
the above does not apply to. We all
know her. The earnest, affectionate,
devoted teacher! She is praised all
over the city and "her works follow
her." Her rooms are always crowded
with pupils and she don't bother the
parents her pupils with work for
the child to do at home.

MCARREN NOW DEFEATED
SO Sag Tammany Men, Claiming
EJeUen Kings Leaders.

Charles F. Murphy and other Tammany leaders
now assert that eleven out of the twenty-oue lead
ers in Kings County have broken away from the
leadership of Senator NIcCarren. and are ready 10
combine with Tammany. While under the bylaws
of the Kings County organization there can be
change in leadership until after the August pri-
rnaries the Tammany men say that within a few
DAYS the eleven leaders antagonists to McCarren
will meet and make their attitude known. and it is
believed this will have big effect at the next
primary In defeating McCarren leaders for re-elec
ton. .
senator McCarren said last night that this talk
was all bluff and bravado the part of the
Tamuany men. Only five leaders had deserted his
standard. he asserted. and OF that number two
were doubtful. He said that he would remain IN
the saddle and would win at the August primaries.

South of T'Own.

shan-Hai-Kvan May 13-A private letter
which has been received here from New
Chwang. dated May u. says that there is a
division of the japanese army twenty miles
south Of that place. The letter adds that the
firing south of the town yesterday has been ex-
planned by the Russian authorities as artillery
practice.
New Chwang. May 13,-Chinese bandits are
committing depredations in the vicinity of Wing
Kow. Several rich natives who were kidnapped
by them from New-Chwang have been ran
somed.
NJ. Pavlof. formerly Russian Minister to
Corea, and now the representative Of Viceroy
Alexieff. is now in Picking, and it is believed
that he is endeavorins to persuade the Chinese
government to take over the New-Chwang sec
ton.
japanese scouts were seen at a late hour yes
terday seven miles southeast of Kai-Chow.
The Russians are moving two regiments in
and out of New-Chwang for the purpose OF
creating the impression among the natives that
thew have number of men here. These two
regiments comprise the only Russian force in
this vicinity the remainder of the troops having
been moved toward Moukden.
The belief prevails here that the Russian
authorities will soon move the Moukden forces
in the direction of Hardin. and it is not thought
that they will risk any fight on the Liao-Tung
Peninsula.
AS they retreat north the Russians are burn
ing the railroad stations and such foodStufs as
they are unable TO take with them. Much CHI
nese property has been destroyed. The Chinese
stocks of merchandise at New hwanS are the
largest in Manchuria, being valued at S0O.Oop.-

ARMENIANS MASSACRED.
Turks Lay Waste sassoun District While

Paris May IAN official dispatch 70 The For
eigu ONCE from Constantinople confirms the re-
ports that Turkish troops have burned villages
throughout the Sassoun district OF Armenia, killing
the inhabitants. The French Ambassador. NJ. Con-
STAINS has Joined with tho Russian and British
ambassadors In sending consuls 70 Erzeroum. IN
the hope Of limiting the destruction and boodshed
The official advices, however. indicate that the
famous district Of Sassoun is practically accom-
plished
The Turkish methods appear to have been much
the same as those adopted in the Armenian mas
sacres. The official reports do not give the exact
details rs 10 the number of towns burned and
people killed bur they show that the action of tho
Turks has been sweeping.
The French authorities were informed time
ago that Turkey was taking advantage OF Itussia's
preoccupaton in the Far East and intended to
adopt n decisive course toward the rebelouS Ar
meniars The information then showed that the
would begin the work Of suppression about
April Is. To prevent this the powers made an en-
erRetic protest This delayed Turkeys action.
which however has now been executed with the
same severity as first contemplated.
