NEW TREATY
WITH CHINA

WASHINGTON. November 21-Sec-
retary Hay and Sir Chen Tung Liang
Cheng, the Chinese Minister, are
reaching the conclusion of their labors
in framing a new treaty between the
United States and China to take the
place of the existing convention, which
expires on December 7th. The present
treaty provides for the absolute ex-
clusion of Chinese laborers from the
United States, and the new treaty will
be equally as strict in this regard; but
it is proposed to insert provisions in
the new treaty which will permit the
entrance into the United States of
officials, merchants, students and
other excepted classes without the re-
strictions which are now imposed.
Every Chinese owning property in
the United States and desiring to visit
China with the intention of returning
to the United States will be provided
with certificate emitting him to re-
enter the United States within two
years of the date of departure.
The treaty will also contain a pro-
vision permitting the United States
to establish immigration officials in
China charged with the duty of in
vestigating every Chinese intendingl
to come to the United States.

FOUNDED IN HONOUR.

No doubt you have seen in the
papers such announcements as
this concerning some medicine or
other: "If, on trial, you write
that this medicine has done you
no good we will refund your
money."-Now, we have never
had reason to speak in that way
concerning the remedy named in
this article. In a trade extern
ding throughout the world, no.
body has ever complained that
our medicine has failed, or asked
for the return of his money. The
public never grumbles at hon
estly and skillfully made bread,
or at a medicine which really
and actually does what it .was
made to do. The foundations of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
are laid in sincerity and honour,
the knowledge of which on the

1t was not dreamed out, or dis

is praised by all who have en-
ployed it in any of the diseases
it is recommended to relieve and
cure, and is effective from the
first dose. In Anemia, Scrofula,
Nervous and General Debility,
Influenza. La Grippe, and Throat
and Lung Troubles, it is a spe-

HOLLOWAY TO
Be ENJO|NEO
Contractors Fight Over
Dredging AIakea
Street Slip.
tFrom Saturdays Advertiser)

The Commi s.oner of Public Works
will sign a contract with John Walker
to dredge the Alakea street slip, and
will be at once enjoined from pro-
ceeding farther with the matter in
behalf of Lord & Belser, who were
also bidders for the work.
1t will be remembered that when the
bids for this work were opened by
Commissioner Holloway. the bid or
John Walker was the lowest, but was
r. H. Davies & Co., instead of a GER
titled check, as had been specified in
the advertisement.
The matter was held up, according
1y, by the commissioner and the At
torney General was asked to give an
opinion upon the right of Mr.. Hollo-
way to accept the order in question
in lieu of check.
The attorneys for Cotton Brothers
and for Walker appeared before At
torney General Andrews, and the mat
ter was argued and submitted. Yes
terday the Attorney General sent down
an opinion to the Commissioner of
Public Works to the effect that the
bid of Walker was a properly accom-
panied bid an inland draft upon firm
having the standing of I. H. Davies
& Co. being. to all intents and pur-
poses as good as a certified check,
and Mr.. Holloway thereupon stated
his purpose to sign up the contract
with Walker.
II suppose that I will sign up the
contract when it comes up to me-"
said Mr.. Holloway. "And then, 1 un-
derstand, it is the purpose to enjoin
me and get a decision of the court
upon the matter. Well, I will not be
sorry to have the point definitely de-
'cided.'
1t is presumed that the injunction
proceeding will be commenced today,
or as soon as the contracts have been
signed. The following were the bid
ders on the Alakea street slip work,
with the amounts of their bids: Lord
& Belser, 100000; North American

JAPS ISSUE
BAD MONEY
Are Accused of Coun.
terfeiting Russian
Notes.

The Japanese, according to the tale
Herald correspondent who passed
| through Honolulu on the Korea, have
adopted the war measure of issuing
| counterfeit Russian money, thereby
discrediting their enemy with the peo-
pie of the region where the great
struggle is in progress. This it will be
remembered, was the charge brought
by Victor Hugo against the English Of
the time of the French revolution, 1t
being asserted that smugglers flooded
the Breton provinces with bales of
false assignats, thereby further de-
preciating those already deprecated
tokens of exchange.
According to the story told by Lewis,
the Trans Siberian Railroad has all it
can do to carry troops and supplies OF
food and ammunition without hauling
the trains of treasure necessary to fin
ance the big campaign If all disburse-
ments were made in coin. Paper money,
change circulating among the Czar's
troops, and all purchases In Manchuria
are paid for in the ruble bills issued by
the Russian Government. Chinese and
others who have had dealings with
the Russians have grown to prefer this
convenient form of money. In
order to discredit the Russian paper
money the Japanese have flooded the
country in which the Russians are OPP
Grating with limitations of these
royal promises to pay. The counterfeits
are so cleverly made that even the
Russian army paymasters have ac-
leaven is working, and the Chinese
merchants are beginning to look ask
ance at all paper money.
Lewis says that the japanese pee
pie are getting very weary of the ex-
pense of the war. In the first enthu-
siasm at the outbreak of the war. he
says, everybody wanted to turn over
all his money to the Government and |
to bind himself to pay more as he earn |
ed it. 1t is different now. The first |
popular loan, which was fioated at a |
few per cent below par, was nearly
all subscribed by the populace. The
money kings of the land were sane and
safe in their patriotism, and when the
people rushed in to buy they stood a
side and reserved their coin for the
second loan, when the bonds could be
secured at much lower figure.
Few of the original subscribers to
the FIRST loan. says Lewis, are now
holding the bonds. After making one
Or two payments they turned over the
obligation to some more patriotic
neighbor. Many of the bonds have
been transferred several times. and In

Mr. Thompson had taken thirty min
utes in his closing address to the jury.
He informed the Jurors that the court
would instruct them that the entering
of a payment on one account to cover
shortage on another account was not
embezzlement If the money paid ulti-
mately reached the Treasury. Stress
was laid on the omission by the prose-
cution to produce the Treasury deposit
slip for a deposit of S1400 representing
land sales which Mahaulu said contain
ed the 1895 paid by Mary f. Clark Mr..
Thompson acknowledged the rotten
state of affairs in the Land Office and
Mahaulu's implication therein, but urg-
ed on the jury that the defendant was
not on trial for conspiracy or "ungen-
tlemanly conduct" or anything but en-
bezzlement He bestowed considerable
rhetoric on a description of the char
acter of former Land Commissioner
Boyd, instancing an afterthought that
came to Boyd in the Jail yard at recess,
the day he testified, which induced him
to change his testimony of the morn
ing in the afternoon because he feared
1t would let Mahaulu out" 1t was
contended that the crime of embez-
element had not been proved against

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-Prince Sananru
Fushimi a cousin of the Mikado of
Japan, who is visiting the Worlds
Fair, was the victim of robbers this
afternoon. While the Prince and his
suit were out on the exposition grounds
burglars entered his apartments at the
Buckingham Club and stole jewels
valued at $4,000. Among the property
taken were three handsome diamond
rings belonging to the Prince and
beautifully embossed emblem belonging
to A. Sato. grand master of the house,
hold of the Prince. The emblem was
the decoration of a European monarch,
and was highly valued. The rings of
Prince Fushimi were heirlooms and
worn by him only upon state occa-
sions.
Detectives are working on the case,
but up to a late hour tonight no clew
had been found to the theft or where
abouts of the missing jewels. One of
the rings is a great solitaire, the gift
of one of the Emperor's staff at Toxic,

A LIBRARY
Governor Wants to See
Real One Estab.

A determined effort will be made at
the next session of the Territorial Leg
islature to secure the erection of a pub
| lie library building in which can be
stored not only the books gathered by
| Pi esident Dole for his Hawaiian library
and now stored away out of sight In
the Capitol building, but likewise the
valuable public documents and priceless
archives of the various governments
of Hawaii for the keeping of which, at
| present, there Is no adequate provi-
sion.
THE matter has been called to my
attention" said Governor Carter yes
terday, because of recent importa-
tion of books for the Agricultural De-
partment. These are, presume, scien-
tfic works. Now, under the law, they
can come in duty Free If they IRE for
the Territorial library. The thing is
10 get them into the Territorial library
when there is no Territorial library.
1t is true that we have a library es-
tablished bylaw, but nothing has been
done for the establishment beyond the
passage of the law.
There is, as you know, a public Ii
brary building in Honolulu built by
popular subscription. 1t has occurred
to me that we might, by some arrans.-
ment with the public library, provide
for the enlargement of that building
and thus secure place for the safe
keeping of the archives, and the gov
tInment's BOOKS, while at the same
time putting valuable historical docu-
ments where they would be accessible
TO students and others Interested lii
such matters. The matter is, at all
events, worth looking into. The docu-
ments and books we have here now
relating to past times are of no use to
anybody, certainly not to us at the

at them

will increase our taxes. Ever since
Governor Carter appointed his cele-
brated County Commission of two law
yers, two laymen and a negro. 1 have
been endeavoring to find out the gen
eral sentiment in regard to the County
Government plan. l find that the ma
tives as a rule are in favor of 1t and
that the whites are against 1t, that Is,
the business class of whites, who pay
most of the taxes.
Now for common sense County
System 1 think the plan proposed by
Senator Achi is not only the only feasi-
BILE method but also the best that has
been proposed so far.
The Achi method will put the elec-
ton Of officers in the hands of the peo-
pie and at the same time will not in
crease the tax rates. These elected
officers will receive the same pay as
the appointed ones now receive. They
will be free from all gubernatorial in
fuence and control, and will he an

tive districts for their official actions.
At the same time safeguards will be
placed about them so as to eliminate
all chances Of graft and corruption, and
to insure an honest, clean and decent
administration of affairs.
