FAR EAST WAR NOTES.
Japs Have Plenty Of Money-Russians
Fear Chinese.

The Russian ministry OF marine has
directed the institution of prize coul is
at Sebastopol, Libau. Port Arthur and
Vladivostock.
Thirteen accompices in the murder
Of the queen in 1895 were executed by
strangling in the city prison at Seoul
recently. twenty-five highwaymen
we're similarly executed at the same
time.
The Japanese fnanciers estimate the
cost OF the war at 1865, 100000 year.
They claim that even now Japan IS in
position to maintain the war for year
and half without being driven to bor-
row money abroad.
Ten destroyers of $50 tons each,
built at ST. Petersburg, are to be sent
by railroad in pieces to Port Arthur.
Each destroyer requires two trains. A
Thousand mechanics are going to re-
construct them.
The whereabouts of the Vladivos-
took squadron is a profound official
secret
Chinese troops have moved much
further north than was supposed, Gen
aral Tinchterg having concentrated
5000 men at Dodun, which is only 100
miles west Oh harbin General Ma hav-
ing 10000 at Kaupantz, while anotner
5000 are at re Min Tun and 10000
at Ichau, all points bordering upon the
zone Of the Russian military opera
tions.
Growing distrust OF the purposes OF
he Chinese army in northern Manchu-
ria leads hussians to fear that the

From tie moment the door was bro

ga no word. Awakened from sleep and
with the dim light only to show him
what had happened, he was in posses

only thing that saved one or more
wounds for the officers was the fact
hat Gingles shot from below, while
laying on his back or side. The bullets
went over the heads of the deputies
and entered the ceiling.
The entire affair did not consume
over five minutes from the tine the
officers reached the cabin door until
Gingles was dead.
An examination at the cabin reveal
ed that Gingles was prepared for a
deadly fight. He had received a letter
from certain persons warning him that
the officers were close on his trail and
advising him to get out of the country.
This he had arranged to do as soon
as he had corded the wood he cut for
Brown
That he was aware Of his danger was
shown by his buying a quantity of am
munition and having his rifle and re-
vOlyer ready at hand. Alongside of the
bed, or trunk, in the cabin was a Win
chester 5000 containing nine cart
ridges. Around his waist, underneath
| his nightshirt and over his under
clothing, was strapped a cartridge belt
filed with rife and revolver cartridges
and in the holster, which evidently was
strapped across his stomach handy to
reach, was long 80 ealiber Colts on
a Al frame.
Gingles is said to have been 35 years
of age. He was five feet nine or 10
inches in height, with dark hair and a
light brown moustache. thin featured,
with heavy, coarse black eyebrows, yet
withal fairly good looking and respect
able in appearance.
For is years past the Gingles broth
ers have been a source of terror in
parts of Washington and Oregon,
where they have long been known as
bad men, ready to steal or shoot at
every opportunity.
The dead man was looked upon as
the coolest and nerviest Of the family.

THE ALIEN LABOR
CLAUSE ENFORCED

The lightning of the exclusive citi-
zen labor policy enacted by the Legis-
Iature of 1908 struck the gang employed
on the Capitol grounds under Caretaker
r. J. Greene This consisted of twelve
men, of whom but four were citizens.
Under instructions eight were dismiss
ed and their places filled with native
Hawaiians out of nine applicants en-
dorsed from both Republican and mill
tary headquarters. The men let out
were Portuguese who had been employ
d on the grounds all the way from
five to ten years.
Road Supervisor Sam. johnson said
yesterday. in answer to an inquiry, that
he had really dismissed no abor under
the alien clause. He had simply given
notice and the Portuguese affected had
pecome naturahzed. With the excep-
lion of discharges for want of having
anything for the men to do, for every
oEtlguese he had laid off he put an
'tLer' of that nationality in his place.

MIGHT HOLD
UP SESSION
If Treasury Is Empty
Legislators May Be
Stood Off.

Treasurer Kepoikai gives but quail
fed countenance to the idea of an ex-
ira session of the Legislature. He said
yesterday:
II do not think an extra session would
do what is expected of it, unless all the
heads of departments cut down their
estimates and agree to stick to them.
If there is not such an understanding,
office-holders would get hold of mem
bers of the Legislature and induce them
to keep their salaries up. Heads of
departments ought to warn their suboT-
dinates that any attempt at raising
their salaries above the amounts put in
the bill, if found to have been in
stigated or encouraged by such sub
ordinates, would lead to their instant
dismissal
Mr.. Kepoikai was asked if the Treas
ury would not be embarrassed by the
obligation of paying the seasonal al
Iowance and mileage of members, to-
gether with other expenses of the Leg
islature, Immediately the session be-
gan.
No the Treasurer replied. They
cannot make their own pay a preferred
claim. That would be class legislation.
If there is not money enough in the
Treasury for the pay of members, 1
should register their warrants and they
would have to wait for their money"

away and the true ideas of the comPo-
sitions were guarded as sacredly as me

ELF-GOVERNM[NT ON
TRIAL IN EMERGENCY
Governor Garter informs Politicians What an
Extra Session Would lnvolve--The
Peoples Problem.

Governor Carter. for the past two
days, has been obtaining the opinions
of people on the question of calling an
extra session of the Legislature
Among those interviewed in the execu-
tive chamber We're Judge Dole, Treas
urer Kepoikai, Senator'S McCandless
and Kalauokalani, Speaker F. W.
Beckley, Representatives Kupihea and
KumaIae, Curtis p Iaukea. James
H. BOYD. George Markham, +. j. Tesla,
John Wise and Charles Motley.
1t was the Governors idea, in calling
into consultation the Home Rule and
other Observation-Disclosures politicians
going list. to sound the disposition of
opposing factions relative to their prob
able attitude, in the event of an extra
session, toward strict policy of Ter
ritoriaI economy and retrenchment.
The Governor put it to those gentle
men that an extra session would vir-
tualIy place the Territory of Hawaii on
trial as to it's capacity for self-gov-
eminent II the members wasted time
on all sorts of resolutions and in inter-
probation, ran up bills of expense for
transiating and printing and, general
Iy, acted contrary to the policy of re-
adjustment of the balance of revenue
and expenditure which they were called
to put into effect, then an extra session
would be utterly destructive of it's OBJ
ject.
Should the Legislature prove by its
conduct that it was not capable of
meeting an emergency such as demand
ed businesslike legislation, it would
simply show to the nation and the
world that Hawaii was not yet capable
of elf-government.
To such effect the Governor laid the
question before the political visitors.
Their responses were couched in re-
assuring tone. They believed that the
members of the Legislature would, in
the situation pictured. rise periodically
above faction and concentrate all en-
ergy upon the problem of replacing the
Territory on its financial feet.

{ Governor Carter, after yesterday:
interviews with citizens were over
! talked briefly to an Advertiser reporter
on the exigencies of the hour. Score
! tary Atkinson and he We're going to
divide between them the work of con-
sulting with different heads of depart
ments over the matter of expenditures.
They would ascertain how far salaries
and running expenses could be reduced
in each department, and from the re-
j to be submitted to an extra session if
called or, IN the event of there being
no extra session, to form working
basis, so far as the law allowed, for
conducting the government until the
next regular session.
Something had to be done to avoid a
scale of expenditures in the present
which would eat into the revenue of the
future. Since annexation, with
its cutting off of lucrative sources of
revenue, there had been no means pro-
vided other than the income tax for
keeping the treasury replenished Yet
in the same time there had come ex-
pansion of services in various depart
ments with corresponding increase of
expenses. AS for instance, the Gov
ernor mentioned the enlarged scope Of
the bureau of Agriculture and Forestry.
the sanitary inspection service subsi-
dies to hospitals and other objects, etc.
1t was for the people, through the
legislature, to decide how the expendi-
lures were to be kept within the reve-
nue.. Continuation of the existing
scale of expenditure would be impos-
sible without an increase of taxation.
Perhaps if salaries and departmental
expenses were reduced SO that the peo-
pie would know they were getting value
for every dollar expended, there might
not be strong opposition to an increase
of taxation. The present emergency
ought to make the people consider
whether there were not some things
they might do without. They might
conclude, Governor Carter mentioned,
that the expenditures for the band and
the military should be eliminated.
