JAPANESE DRAMA
AROUSES POLICE
Raid i'm Hawaii Follows Sat-
ire ON immigration and
Labor Question.
Special Dispatch to Tn. call

HONOLULU, June 13.-High Sheriff
Henry, with a squad of police and three
mounted men as a sort of outside guard,
have raided the japanese Theater here.
Five OF the actors were taken in the raid,
and the manager and two others were
gathered in later.
The first of a series of plays, given a
few evenings ago, was, or purported to
be, a representation of the experiences OF
Japanese immigrant bound for Hawaii
on the steamship Coptie. In the course
of the play, the wife of the Japanese Con-
sui was travestied. The next play had
as its setting an Oahu plantation. One
scene, wherein a Portuguese boss abused
Japanese field hands, wrought the audi
ence to the highest pitch of frenzy.
The whole episode is a part of the
Japanese agitation now going forward In
various parts of the territory, and Is re-
garded as development decidedly
menacing to the labor situation In fact.
the warrants for the men arrested last
night were sworn out by a representative
of the immigration companies and the
Japanese agent of the planters. The war
rants charged an indecent exhibition and
conducting a playhouse without
license.

WRIGHT DENIES THAT

Declared Untrue.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MANILA, June 13.-The Times states
that there has been received by a
Catholic society of the Philippines in
formation purporting to be from Presi-
dent Roosevelt to Archbishop Ireland,
announcing his intention to appoint
General Smith to succeed Governor
Wright.
General Smith assures the corre-
spondent that the report is unfounded.
Governor Wright, when questioned
about it, said that the numerous pub
lished rumors that he would return
to the United States. resign and run
for the Senate were not true. He said
he would probably ask for a few
months leave of absence after the
railroad bids had been opened in No
vember, when he will have completed
three years of service without vaca-

People of Japan Not Enthusiastic Over
Peace Prospects.

TOXIC, June 1.-THE Japanese Gov
ernment still maintains silence regard
ing peace negotiations. 1t is appar-
emily awaiting action in and advices
from Washington and ST. Petersburg.
The newspapers and the public continue
spirited discussion of the situation,
devoting themselves largely to a prob
able armistice and the terms of peace.
The newspapers continue to be
fatty opposed to an early armistice
which would deprive the army and
navy of the advantages within
their grasp. 1t is generally believed
that Field Marshal Oyama's plans
are rapidly maturing and that the
next great drive will sweep General
Linevitch back and carry the Japanese
army into Russian territory.
The good faith and ultimate inten-
tions of Russia toward peace are openly
and generally questioned. The Japa-
nese Government, possibly, is assured
on this score, but it's silence leaves the
public doubtful. The Japanese public
would welcome peace, but it. demands
terms consistent with victory and as
suring permanent peace.

TRIUMPH FOR SECRETARY HAY.
/ Russian Decision Makes Cotton and
Timber Conditional COntraband.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1S.-As pre-
dieted in these dispatches, the written
decision of the High Admiralty Court,
handed down to-day, admits the principle
OF conditional contraband in the case Of
cotton and timber
The decision avoids a direct enuncia-
ton of the conditional contraband prin-
eiple, but in justifying the confscation
both of cotton and timber in the case of
the British steamship Calchas, il argues
al length that the circumstances created
a fair inference that the former was des-
tined for the use of the arsenal at Kobe
in the manufacture Of explosives and that
the latter was intended for use in Jap
anese military and railroad telegraphs.
The attorneys for the American and
British Governments, while regretting the
loss of this particular case, rejoice that
the United States and Great Britain have
won their contention for the principle of
conditional contrapand in the case of cot
ton and timber

Russian Lady Of Title Who Pur-
chased the Libraries Of Vol
taire and Diderot

Empress Catherine II. Of Russia was
great reader and lover Of books,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. One
of her services to letters in Russia
was the purchase of the libraries Of
Voltaire and Diderot. She was a warm
friend and admirer OF these French
philosophers, and their work interest
ID her, because she was eager to learn
new theories of politics and govern
ment Voltaire's library OF about
1000 volumes is now a part OF the
Russian imperial library in the Her
mitage palace, and in the hall devoted
10 1t Is Houdon's statue Of Voltaire.
The story OF GATHERINGS purchase Of
Diderot's library is interesting. It
is creditable to her tact and her gen
erosity. Diderot named &15,000 as the
price of his library. Catherine III.
offered him e16,O00, and named as a
condition of the bargain that her pur-
chase should remain with Diderot un-
til his death.
Thus Diderot, without leaving Paris,
became GATHERINGS librarian in his
own library. AS her librarian he was
given yearly salary of R1,Oo0. One
year this salary was paid. Then
Catherine wrote to her librarian that
she could not have him or her library
suffer through the negligence OF a
treasurer's clerk, and that she should
send him the sum that she had set
aside for the care and increase OF her
library for 80 years. AT the end Of
that period she would make new ar
rangements. A check for e25.OOO ac-
eompanied the letter.

Pretand 10 Mnrrv.

In Russia every woman of the peas
ant class marries. or pretends to
marry. If a girl comes to the de-
cision that no one intends to ask her
to marry, she leaves home, goes to
some distant district and returns aftes
q time to announce That she is a
widow, that she went away to be mar
ried, and that her hus band has since
died. No embarrassing questions are
put to her, for among TIE peasants
it is considered bad form to mention
a dead man to his widow. This Curl
Gus custom goes to show in what high
regard the women of Russia look upon
the institution Of marriage. .-Pearscn's 3
