Save for his official documents the
literary works of Governor Carter are
unknown and he modestly denies hav-
ing contributed anything to contem-
porary thought under nom-de-plume.
Secretary Atkinson's claim to literary
pre-eminence is not so hard to trace.
II viii be remembered that a recent
Washington dispatch credited Atkinson
with being "a member of the STAFF of the
"Star" so doubtless the Superior jury
learning of this, turned up files Of the
star" and perceiviug the high literary
excellence of every article at once de-
cided on giving Secretary Jack the
medal
Perhaps too. that determined the
Superior Jury On decorating the Gov
eror. with true Spanish politeness
tho jurors did not like 90 risk offending
the Governor Dos decorating his sub-
ordinate alone.

wall in relation to Asia. Furthermore,
while there is a stream of Italian and
European immigration from which the
Southern States can supply their needs,
the great distance to Hawaii, coupled
with the rigorous laws against assist
ed immigration, makes it impossible for
Hawaii to hope for relief from that
source, even if such immigrants could
stand the climate, which is far more
trying than is that of the South"

Some of the important matters dis
cussed by Governor Carter in his re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior
are as follows:
COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
"While the present system of govern
ment is both economical and simple it
appears to offer more advantages to the
Island Of Oahu and the city of Homo
lulu, where, from necessity, nearly all
authority centers. From this there has
grown up feeling of discomfort in the
outer districts, and instead of attempt
ing to better the present conditions
and make through the Legislature
changes from time to time to provide a
more thorough service, there has de-
veloped a general desire for county
government, which 1t is thought will
be a panacea for all difficulties. Just
how municipalities or counties are to
be organized is not yet clear. Few, if
any, communities in the United States
have been confronted with so difficult
a task. A de facto active Territorial
government, succeeding one in which
for years has been centered the func-
lions of both city, county and State,
with all the prerogatives and powers
necessary thereto, whose securities
have been sold and the proceeds dis
bursed in the building of local water
works, sewer systems and other inter-
nal improvements, some of which are
revenue producing, is now desired to
be cut up, with considerable of its rev.
enue and property turned over, to elect
county officials. The Legislature of
1903 succeeded in passing measure of
this kind but after an existence OF
thirteen days a decision of the Supreme
Court was reached declaring that at
tempt illegal. At the last session of
the Legislature, by joint resolution, the
executive was requested to appoint a
| commission to draft a new county act
and it is now at work preparing such
an act, to be submitted to the Legisla-
ture i'm February, 1905"
LABOR.
1T has sometimes been argued that
| the Hawaiian sugar industry is in eX.
actly the same position as that of the
| Southern States, and that if the latter
can supply their labor needs, Hawai-
| should be able to do the same. This
however, is wholly misleading and I'M
true. If Hawaii had a large indigen'
Gus population such as exists in the
| Southern States, and if Hawaii coult
draw upon the large streams of mmi'
grafton entering the United States
| from which to supply its requirements
as does that section, then such a com
parson might be made. If there wert
no indigenous population upon which
the Southern States could draw to sup
ply the labor required in the fields, anC
were they wholly dependent upon Ital
ian and other European immigration
for labor, they would stand in relation
to Europe geographically as does Ha

imprisoned Five Years Judgs Who
 Excluded Evidence Is Blamed

London, Nov 25.-The report of the committee of inquiry in the case of Adolf Beck, who,for the crimes of Will liam Thomas, alias John Smith, served q term of five years imprisonment n England on the charge of obtaining money and jewels from women under false pretences, places practically the entire blame for the miscarriage of Justice upon the judge, Sir Forrest Fulton, who excluded from Beckss trial in 1896 all evidence favorable to the accused and who refused to state a case for the. consideration of a higher court. The committee finds that if the matter could have been brought before higher court a flaw in the proceed ings must have been discovered and the conviction have been uuashed. and that if there had been a qualified lawyer i'll the home office the real na- ture of the miscarriage would have been so brought to the attention of the permanent under secretary for home affairs as to compel intervention
 The report generates the police and other officials from all charges of con- spiracy but finds that the action of the home office in dealing with the case was defective owing to lack of legal training on the part of subordin- ates
 The committee expresses the opin- ion that the establishment of crim- ! inal court of appeal is not necessary as the present machinery of review if made more efficient by the introduc- ton of a stronger legal ele- ment in the home office ought 1 to be adequate to give complete relief to innocent persons convicted through mistakes of law or of fact. The committee remarks that it is an extraordinary fact that in the trial of 1904 the innocent man Beck was convicted through the ignorance of the police and pubic prosecutor of the material fact known to the home office and the prison authorities that Beck and Smith were not the same per son as alleged by the prosecution. ane points out the necessity for bringing the different public authorities con. cerned into such coordination as to make the information acquired by one available to all.

The Reliable Store.
Very Often a Less Price Than Elsewhere and Better
 Goods at That

. There's one thing certain amongst the several good reasons for trading at the Hampson- Seflew store and that is, the furniture you buy there is of the most reliable kind furniture thar does not fall to pieces soon after you get it home When buying furniture iteis well to consider that your are buying for years and years to come, and if it is a good article you enjoy if first, last and all the time. But if you buy a poor piece of furniture you're not satisfied when you get 1t home and it grows more so all the time you have it. Old housekeepers who have tried both kinds will verify the truth of this statement The Hampson-S -Sellew Fur- niture Company has always made it 2 point to buy and sell only reliable goods and has built up a business sec ond to none in Waterbury. with a eli entage extending to all parts of the state Why not, then, do your trading there? You'll be pleased with tho goods you buy. with the attention you receive and with the good service giy- en in the delivery of your orders

WAR STORIES OF THE
 PAST WEEK NOT TRUE
KuropatlIin Hasn't Made General Advance-Russians Are Bothering General Oku's Army-The Japanese Have Gained Another Advantage by Taking Two More Forts.

General Kupoki's headquarters in the field, Nov, "A, via Fusan, Nov. 9. The reports circulated during the past week in the eastern papers and probably telegraphed abroad to the eff feet that General Kuropatkin in mak- ing a general advance had pushed back the Japanese left a distance of three miles, are wholly unfounded,
 The situation remains entirely un- changed during the last month, except that both armies have doubtless strengthened their defense and ac- cumulated supplies in that time.
 The Russians continue their recon naisances in front of the Japanese left, but there has been no general en- gagement or change in the Japanese enthrenched positions.
 The Japanese continue to ignore the daily shelling which takes place in the front of the central army, and in many places the whole line of trenches are so close that the Japanese can draw fire at any time by displaying caps on sticks.
 A few casualties result daily from rifle fire.

TRACKS DLULnL D
Freight Cars Filled With Products of the Monon.
 ghaheIa Valley.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov 25.-Six miles Of freight cars, loaded with products Of the mills in the lower Monongahela valley block the yards of the Eittsburg,
 4rginia and Charleston railroad at the Homstead plant. and hundreds ok other cars are on tracks at other mills awaiting shipment While the conges- ton is not complete and some freight IS being moved the production has reached that point where the rallroaa.. are seriously handicapped in the way of motive power. Efforts were made yesterday to clear the blockade. but 1t was impossible to send out anything but a smal! proportion of freight awaiting sA4.pment. There is also a serious shortage of cars
 The congestion has reached that point where officials of the mins face q probable suspension until relief ap- pears. Yards leading in and out of the mills are filled with cars that should have been moved days. ago, while the plants have been keeping up production because of the demand. As result the shipping yards at Home stead and BraduocK are piled with fin sshed product that should have been loaded and outbound over q week ago.
 The same condition exists at the Duquesne ss.ants. and the big yards in the vicinity Of Oliver Hollow are filled with loaded cars.

Reigned Among Lot of Chinamen in Building
 Which Took Fire.

New York. Nov. 25.-Intense excite. nent bordering almost on panic was caused in a big five story tenement house occupied exclusively by Chinese in Doyers street early to-day by fire which started in the heart of tke col lection oe ramshackle buildings which make up the quarter The occupants of number of Bowery lodging houses in close proximity to the scene of the fire also shared in the excitement. but none of them nor any of the frightened celestials was injured The fire, which for time threatened to sweep through the section, finally was sub- dued in the building where it started, and the whole loss will not exceed $2,. 600. The damaged building was occu- pied by several Chinese business houses and the upper floors where the fire originated were used as chop suey restaurant.
 Several fashionably dressed men and women composing a summing party, under the guidance of a we'll known Chinatown character, were in the res taurant when the fire broke out All escaped in safety.

A GREwsoME SCENE.

Columbus, O., Nov 25.-A grewsome scene attended the execution of Otis Loveland. the last of the trio of rob bers who killed George Geyer, a farm CT, near Alton, Ohio, more than year ago, which took place in the annex of the Ohio penitentiary shortly after midnight. Three shocks were neces- sary to produce death. The first was administered at 12:04 and it was 12:1S before Loveland was pronounced dead. The condemned mans body showed re markable resistance, the instrument re- cording 51s amperes.

RIGHT TO HIS FACE.
Sir Edward Clark Said Things To
 Ambassador Choate.

London. Nov 25.-The annual Thanksgiving banquet of the Ameri- can society at the Hotel Cecil las, night was marked by the presentation to Ambassador Choate of portrait of himself by Hubert Herkomer, and paid 1 for by subscriptions by members Of ,, the society. An unusual note for such 1 gathering was introduced by Sir Ed, ward Clarke who, probOSing MT ChOate's health, sarcastically derided the title "American'' ambassador, de claring that the word American i'm piled domination over the whole west ern hemisphere, whien the Uniteo States does not possess and Is not en. titled to, as< Great Britain is territorri- ally larger power on the American continent than the United States. Sir Edward suggested a more suitable title would be Usona, signifying United States of North America.
 Having in the first public criticism, here of the state departments order that embassies hereafter shall be called sAmeriean'' thus uttered a respectful protest" against the assumption of the larger name, Sir Edward Clarke pro ceeded to refer to the miserable under, payment of American judges and Americas waste of energies in provid- ing for survivors of the civil war, and in building ironciads which she could never use.
 Ambassador Choate, replying. said that Americans were quite satisfied with their name. and then referred to the recent election in the United States as a splendid tribute of devotion and affection to great man. Having re- marked upon the regeneration of pub lie life in America, regardless of party. now in progress, Mir Clloate alluded to the ever growing friendship between Great Britain and American as reason for thanksgiving, and added: s'I asked Lord Lansdowne if he was ready to negotiate treaty of arbitration. Why said Lord Lansdowne. it goes without saying"
 Continuing, Mr Choate maintained that many things go without saying between Great Britain and America, above al that they should avoid all possible cause of offense and settle all tferences by peaceful means. The archbishop of Canterbury. proposing President Rooseyeltss health, said that America faced nrobIems greater than the world had ever seen, but by a stroke of genius had found the man to conquer the difficulties. We on this side, said the archbishop. "not less than brothers to you across the Atlantic, thank God and take courage because the destinies of America are safe in RooSeyelt's hands,

 The police believe that the trouble between Roche and Felton which cui-
 minated in the shooting arose over q woman who had transferred her affee- tions from Roche to Felton. l When Coroner Scholer called on
 Roche at the hospital during the fore- noon the wounded man repeated his statement that Felton was his assaii- ant but insisted that the shots were fired in self defense and that the act was justifiable. Roche told the coro-, ner that he had been drinking heavily yesterday and that while going along
 Broadway he met Felton in front of the Marlborough hotel. After a few words quarrel arose. Felton, he said, tried to soothe him, but his condition was such that he only became the more angered. He said that he told
 Felton he was going to shoot him and walked away to get gun. He return ed in a few minutes and as he ap- preached Felton he put his hand to his hip pocket to draw the weapon he said he had secured. At this movement, Roche told the coroner, Felton drew his revolver and fired two shots at him.
 When the coroner's jury asked Roche if he had any relatives the gambler declared that he had none. At the moment he was saying this, how ever, well dressed young woman, who had previously called at the hospi- tai and asked to see Roche, claiming to be his sister, was waiting for an op- portunity to see him in the reception room below.
 She was permitted to see Roche after the coroner went away. She was cry ing when she left his room

Baltimore. Nov 25.-A special from La Plata, Charles county, says that several men blew up the building Of sc14 l'vlahd Savings bank yesterday, securing $3.OO0 in cash. Nitro-g -glycerine is supposed to have been the explosive used. The robbers escaped cutting the telegraph and tele, phone wires.
 The government line from the gov ernmcnt proving grounds from Indian Head to Washington was found to be insworlzing order and the police of that city and Baltimore were notified of the robbery.
