A Washington special says: Japan
will appeal to the United States %
prevail on the Russian government
to release the one hundred Japanese
subjects reported detained at Port A.
thur. Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese
minister, it is expected, will present
the appeal to Secretary Ha7 at once
In a cablegram from Toxic Sunday
the minister was informed that ae-
cording to news brought from Che Foo
by a British steamer from Port Ar
thur, one hundred Japanese refugees
had been taken from the steamer BY
the Russian authorities just befofs
the vessel sailed, in spite OF the plo-
tests of the Japanese.
Having agreed to look out for Jap
anese citizens in Russian territory
during the war, this government will
instruct Mr.. Mccormick, the Amers-
can ambassador at St. Petersburg, b.
inquire of the Russian government on
the subject as to the Japanese IN

The best naval opinion IN Washing
ton is to the effect that the detention
of these Japanese at Port Arthur IS a
strategical necessity to prevent the
Japanese gaining information as =

During the siege OF Paris, in tho

Although Russia's answer to Secre-.

the neutrality OF China and local'se
hostilities as much as possible, has
not yet been received, the state de-
partment knows Indirectly from
London and Paris that Russia win re-

the powers to fix the scope OF their

proposition for acceptance by the tvs
countries.
Satisfaction Is expressed in admin
istration circles that Great Britain, as
well as Russia, has decided to, waive
objections to the note.

The house Wednesday considered
and acted upon two most important
matters. First it ordered to a third
reading the senate bill providing for
the establishment OF department OF
immigration. The senate bill was
passed with an amendment which will
most likely be dropped from the bill
in conference, as it does no good IN
the law. The purpose Of the amend
ment was announced to be to restrict
the immigrants to be sought to what
are known as desirable Settlers but
the amendment went further and ind1-
Gated exactly from what the country
settlers were wanted, as if the doors
could be closed to any. At all events
the house and senate have approved
the general plan and have almost fn-
ished the necessary legislation to pro-
vide for the bureau. The general ap-
preparation bill consumed the remain
der of the day. The disposition OF
the house seemed to be to leave the
appropriations at what they had been
in former years. Generally the COM
mittee report was adopted and Chair

bill, and the only changes were from
individual counties, and in those cases
no debate whatever was INDUCED IN.
The state levy was fixed as usual at
five mills; the usual tnree-mill individ-
ual tax for schools, of course, has to
be imposed, and in addition to this
each Of the counties has its individual
levy which differs according to the
needs OF the county. The bill OF Mr..
Herbert as to scholarships at Clemson
College came up for concurrence IN
the senate amendments. Mr.. Herbert
favored concurrence In all OF the SEN
ate amendments and was discussed at
some length.
At Fridays session OF the senate
Senator Talbird called up the resolu'
ton az to the state house commission
and its work, and as a result com
mission of one senator and one repre-
sentative was appointed to prosecute
the contractors end the architect for
damages in connection with their fall
ure to carry out the contract. This
specifically refers to Frank B. Milburn
and McIlwaine, Unkeler & Co.. con
tractors and architects. At Joint
session the following acts OF state In
terest were passed: To prevent the
shipment of shad outside the limits OF

for personal differences has passed.
There may have been cause for them
and, perhaps, there have been errors
cn 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 broad enough
to unlock it. When this cooperation is
accomplished there will be . more con-
fident sentiment in the business com
munity.-Bulletin.
We kokue the above. This whole
complication came about from the
bull.headedness or whatever 1t may be
called, of Governor Carter. Treasurer
Kepoikai proceeded from the first on
strictly business lines, and is staying
with it.

Don't Resisu, Stay With I'm.

Certain parties seem to think, "By-
stander" being one of them, that
Treasurer Kepoikal Is only holding
down his Office for the salary attached
to It, This is the kind of gratitude
one gets from an ungrateful party
after rousing him out to save 1t from
going to smash at the eleventh hour.
Are the other officials, consisting of
gin soaks, whiskey bloaters, pigeon
toed midgets, incompetent lawyers,
sheenies, cheap guys, swelled heads,
what-nots, etc, all doing the same?
We know of some that if it had not
been for their Government salaries,
they wouldn't be able to make their
salt" during these dull times, for they
have as much as told us so. We dare
say that If the others will agree to a
shave off in their salaries that we
can get Treasurer Kepoikai to do
likewise, provided he will give us his
ear, but for him to resign in order to
satisfy Bystander and others of his illl,
we will say-Stay right by 'em and see
'em out; don't ever resign, but stay
here, for Hawaiians needs you, you be.
ing their only representative in har.
ness with your Republican confreres.

The people of Japan and of Russia
are now so excited that the effort of
either government to avert war would
probably lead to internal revolutions.
In Hawaii we have a, live interest in
the affair-especially in the result. An
other matter that will interest as the
war (should it come about progresses
is the effect it may have upon the
price of food products. Certain it is
that, If the news of this morning from
the Orient be correct, the United
States will rush troops and war ships
to. a point close to the seat of activi,
ties. This will mean a call on the 10.
cal market for meats, vegetables, ice
and other perishable products and
famine prices are not unlikely. Rice
and other Oriental food staples would
Immediately advance, as the japanese
government would certainly tabu at
once all exports of such products But
the advantage to Honolulu and Hawaii
in other respects would probably more
than Offset that.

Why Maintain a Militia {?

A company Of marines arrived in the
Sheridan this morning to be stationed
permanently in Honolulu. There is
hardly question but that full regi
ment of infantry will arrive here dur.
ing the month of April, to remain.
This will give the United States gov
eminent force in Honolulu sufficient
to quell any local disturbance. Forti-
fications, garrisons and troops for for.
eign troubles will come later or as they
may be needed.

everything, even your birthright; the
only pottage to save it unto you and
yours is to at once become members
of the Republican party. Drop being

The immediate question is: If all
of these soldiers are to be sent to Ho.
nolulu by the central government for
the preservation of the peace, what
earthly need is there for a regiment of
National Guardsmen? Federal troops
are sent here to perform the duties
performed by the National Guard of
Hawaii under the Republic. They are
paid for by the central government,
which is entirely proper. Why, then,
should Hawaii be called upon to keep
up, at heavy expense, an immense sub
military department? There Is not
and never will be, except in case of
very large war, any need for militia on
this island There may be some need
of a company at Waikiki and another
at Hilo to hold in check any riot that
there may occur until the regular
troops reach the scene and are prepar.
ed to act. But the expense OF other
soldlery is foolish extravaganza.

There is no question but that the
homesteads in the olaa tract of Ha,
wall should be re-opened in some way.
If the people who originally took the
land up and have failed to keep up
their obligations cannot be found or
cannot be made to pay up their dues,
the lots should again be placed on the
market in order that some one else
may gain possession of and improve
them. This is an important matter for
Mr.. Pratts early attention.

is fishing for votes from men that he

Judge De Bolt and the other circuit
judges certainly have the sympathy
and support Of the community, and
especially the jury-serving portion, in
their efforts to put an end to legal de-
lays caused by the unreadness OF at
torneys. Much money can be saved if
things are made to run more smoothly
IN the courts, for the fees of juries have
to be paid when they attend court whe-
Their they serve as jurors or not. For
some years now the local complaint
has been that the calendars of the
courts were so congested that it was
impossible to have cases heard within
a reasonable time In response to this
complaint the first circuit was given
two judges instead of one, and then
three judges. Now it is found that
with judges ready and anxious to catch
up time is wasted because cases are
not ready.
