ON THE VERGE OF WAR.

Japan's action in severing diplomatic
relations with Russia and refusal to
accept the mediation Of the Powers in
dicates that the declaration of war
which promises to follow is only mat
ter of formality. The great struggle
for control in the Orient is on.
II Is remarkable with what exact.
ness the course OF events in the last
few days has followed the predictions
made by Colonel Okla, the chief strate-
gist of Japan. in an interview pub
lished by the New York Herald the
early part OF January. Colonel Okla,
returning from the English army ma
nuevers, expressed his conviction that
there would he no war till the first
week In February at the very earliest.
This prediction read at this time i'm
mediately suggests the thought that
Japan some time ago reached the con-
clusion that war must come and the
till a favorable time to put troops in
the field.
The result none can forecast with
even a reasonable degree OF accuracy.
Col. Okla, whose opinion is as good as
anyone's in this case, like all japanese,
feels confident Of success. He notes
the fact that Japan's resources have
been underestimate. An army craws
or its stomach and the japanese think
they have a better chance of fighting
in an Asiatic country than Europeans.
He also predicts that Japan will strike
the first blow by hurrying its troops
off to Chemulpo, and at the same time
going in search of the Russian navy.
Chemulpo is looked to as the center Of
the fighting. That being the port at
which the army will be landed, the
BILE there for its first move for suprem-
acy on the sea. 1t appears to be the
japanese idea to bring Russia to a
naval battle as soon as possible, for
on the success or failure Of this contest
will the fate of the island nation de-
pend. Commanding the ocean APP
proaches Japan will land her arm at
Chemulpo and advance north to Har-
bin, where the first land battle with
Russia may be fought.
OF Russia's preparation and the ac-
tual land force Immediately ready to
throw into the fight no one knows ex-
cept Russia and possibly Japan through
its secret agents.

TO REPORT FOR
LONDON TINS

The Pacific Mail steamship Korea ar,
rived of port from San Francisco early
this morning. She was locked at Ma.
val Wharf No. 2 at about 8 o'clock.
The docking of the big vessel was at.
tended with some little difficulty. Az
she closed up to the dock her bow
swung In against 1t twice, smashing
the solid stringer which acts as a
fenderguard. This damage, however.
Is nominal.
The Korea experienced q pleasant
and uneventful voyage with the excep.
ton of the first day or two out of San
Francisco, when rather rough weather
was encountered. Yesterday the
weather was cloudy until the evening
when rain set In.
The Korea carries very large list
OF passengers, among whom are a
large number for Honolulu. While
some of these, such as l.. l.. McCand.
less, Mr.. and Mrs. L. Bonzi, Mr.. and
Mrs. Il. p. Low, Mr.. and Mrs. Z. b.
McClanahan, Miss Sturgeon, l.. A.
Thurston and others, are well.known
Island peoples the greater proportion
of the passengers for this port are
strangers.
j. T. Wilkinson, a newspaper man
from Portland, Oregon, Vas booked
to lay over in Honolulu. In view OF
the recent turn of events In the Orient
he has now decided to go right on to
the scene Of trouble In the Korea.
H. G. Burt, ex.president OF the
Union Pacific Railroad, is booked for
Hongkong. He is on his way to make
an extensive tour of the Orient, &C,
ccmpanied by his wife.

CABLES N CIPHER
May NOW Be SENT

Superintendent Gaines, Of the Gable
Company, announced to the Bulletin
today that the restrictions on cable
messages to Japan had been removed
and that now cipher or any other form
OF messages could be sent through.
Just what this means cannot, Of
course, be figured out, since the cable
people have nothing but their orders
without why's or wherefores, hut GER
tainly the radical change from the
prohibitory orders of Saturday last is
sufficient ground to give rise to all
manner Of conclusions.
When the cable people were asked
what the change might indicate they
stated that II was impossible for them

THERE WAS No QUORUM

Saturday night was rainy and per-
haps to that circumstance may be laid
the non-appearance at the announced
Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee meeting last Saturday night Of
enough members to constitute a quo
rum. There are Honolulu members
and proxies enough to furnish attend
ance sufficient to transact business and
yet rain shower prevented this at
tendance. A wait of a full hour was
INDUCED in by the chairman and the
secretary, together with few others.
making nine votes in all out of the
sixteen necessary to make a quorum.
Then it was decided to go home and
set an adjourned meeting for Saturday
night next at 1880 o'clock.
Perhaps the members have not come
to a realization Of the Importance Of
this months meeting. First and fore
most is the matter Of the convention
for the selection Of delegates, six in
all, to the National Republican Con-
vention in Chicago which will name
the party's standard bearer for the
presidential campaign. This alone, 1t
is thought, should insure the appear
ance on the scene of at least sixteen
out Of the thirty members Of the Cen
trail Committee.
Then there is the protest of Chas. b.
Wilson against the action of the eX q.
ecutive OF the Central Committee, a
matter most vital to the interests Of
the party.
Besides this, there are several other
matters Of great Importance that in
dividual members have to bring up,
which is certain to call forth discus
sion.
Chairman Crabbe makes an appeal
to every member who can to be pres
ent at the adjourned meeting set for
Saturday night next

THEIR LAST DANCE

The Pacific Social Club gives its last
dance for the season in San Antonio
hall on the night of Saturday, Febru-
airy 10, at s o'clock. This is to be
probably the most elaborate dance in
the history of the club and, for the
relief OF the young men. It might be
stated that although this is leap year.
the ladies will not have charge. The
object Of the club on this occasion is
a worthy one since the proceeds Of
the dance are to go into the treasury
OF the kalihi chapel. The tickets have
been placed at the moderate sum Of
fifty cents.

OF DAVIS CONDUCT
WITH FORMAL CHARGE

ton of the professional conduct OF At.
torney George A. Davis in the United
States District Court will begin on
Monday morning next.
At the opening of the special Febru.
airy term of Federal Court at ii o'clock
this morning, U. s. District Attorney
r. w. Breckons, addressing Judpe
Dole. read by title q motion whereby
he asked leave to file an information
charging Davis with unprofessional
conduct and praying for his dsbar.
ment or suspension as an attorney of
the court, stating that Davis had re.
quested him as U. s. District Attor.
ney. on December 90, to prefer such
charges and pray for such disbarment
or suspension.
Breckons in his motion. also stated
that this request was duly and pegu.
larly laid before the Attorney General
of the United States and that the At.
torney General has directed" that such
proceedings be Instituted
Granting the motion, Judge Dole
signed an order to the effect that
Breckons be allowed to file the infor.
nation requested and that the U. 8.
Marshal be commanded to summon
Davis to appear before the court at 10
o'clock on Monday next, and that there

statement Of Mr.. Breckons that he
would be ready to proceed in the mat.

present sugar prices. will need more
than the amount Of borrowed capital
available last year. The financial dis
bursers are the first to see this and
have already begun their preparations
to provide money to cover all possible
requirements. The need of more than
the available capital must produce a
lack of credit down the line. Loans
and discounts must be reduced. and
additional securities will be required
Deposits will be smaller with less avail
able time money in sight.
To certain extent relief will be af-
forded by the circulation of the million
dollar loan money. But nearly one
tenth of this has already passed out of
sight. The Governor has, II is true,
stated that another loan Of a million
dollars can be negotiated without
trouble in New York. When making
this assertion, however, We doubt
whether Mr.. Carter had taken into
consideration the drop in the price of
sugar since last Fall. and It's dubious
outlook. Even If II he possible to bor-
row more money. the question will
arise--ls it advisable to do SO? The
interest charge on our present recent
Indebtedness is $4,000 year. Double
this and we will have another 100000
of annual Indebtedness to meet since
last years taxes were collected and
without any prospect whatever of adj
citional income wherewith To liquidate
this increased liability.
Another point for consideration Is
the extent of the Territory's future in
come. Hitherto, taxes have been paid
on boom prices and. in many cases,
inflated values. Every possible ave-
nue. for squeezing a dollar out Of the
overburdened taxpayer has been ex-
plotted though. as held by the courts.
within legitimate bounds. But 1t is
doubtful il the Treasury can expect
the same relief from this source in the
future. It is generally recognized that
there has been a shrinkage in all per-
sonal and property values. The real
estate market is stagnant except at
forced sales. Prices paid a few years
ago cannot be realized today. All
plantation stock has declined under
the influence Of the sugar market A
property that was on dividend pay
ing basis last year may be barely earn
ing interest today and its intrinsic
value cannot fairly be based on for
mer assessment valuation. Hence II is
easy to see that the Territorial Treas
ury is affected equally with the bust
ness community.
Governor Carter is expected In Homo
lulu at the end Of this week. 1t is 10
be hoped that his first official action
will be careful study of the Terri
torys ways and means in conjunction
with Treasurer Kepoikai. The time for
personal differences has passed. There
may have been cause for them and,
perhaps, there have been errors on
both sides. But now a concert Of ac-
ton is necessary for the public well
fare. Having been the first to close
the door In the face of the most i'm
portant official Of his administration,
the Governor should be broud enough
TO unlock II. When this cooperation is
accomplished there will be @ more con-
fident sentiment In the business COM
munity.

In 'The Bowery After Dark which Sullivan, Harris and Woods will pre- sent to our theatergoers at the Grand Opera house Thursday, Friday and Sat urday, this week, Theodore Kremer, the author, has evolved an unusually strong play. The story abounds in dramatic scenes and climaxes, is full of comedy and replete with pathetic situ- ations Mir. Kremer has managed, in his masterful way to insert into the story the full gamut of human pas- sions The comedy is far and away the best ever written by this able dramat- ist and with the scenic environment and strong acting company secured a creditable performance is assured.
 Added features secured by Sullivan, Harris and Woods are the little whirl- wind fighter, Terry McGovern, who will again be seen in the part of the boot black, and Mrs. McGovern, who will es- say the role of Nell, the Bowery waif, making her first appearance on the stage with this organization.
