STA IN.

The worth thing that can happen to
q man in Siam is to get into debt, from
which there is never any escape, owing
to the exorbitant interest charged.
Once in debt there is no appeal, the
debtor being stripped Of his clothes and
compelled to work in letters, generally
for the rest Of his life, to pay the inter-
est. Drunkards are not permitted to
give evidence in the law courts of
Siam. The Buddhist priests, clad in
yellow robes, are to be seen every
where in Bangkok, and it is quite COM
mon for young men to enter the priest
hood. which affords them an easy and
luxurious existence, owing to the lib
crafty Of the populace toward any one
sanctioned to the service Of Buddha.

A Chinese Columbus.

The belief in q Chinese Columbus was
drst allowed by scholars only in the
nrst half Of the last century. The
claim is that Buddhist priest in the
fifth century crossed the Pacific to this
continent and returned, making writ
ten report of his discovery. The report
still exists. 1t was translated into
French in 1901 by NJ. de Guignes. 1t
gave narrative of voyage eastward
BY priest for 10000 Ii, where he found
a country which he named Fusang.
People similar to the Indians were de-
scribed, as well as American plants.
The only doubt about the matter is as
to the distance meant by 10000 Ii. The
priest may have reached only some is
land in the Pacific ocean.

AN ODD FISH,.
Queer Marine Monster n Natural En-.
envy to- Whales.

While operating ut Il fishery in Adj
miralty island, Alaska. one summer my
attention and the attention of the fish
ing crew were almost daily attracted to
q large marine creature that would APP
pear in the main channel OF Seymour
canal and our immediate vicinity.
There are large numbers of whales OF
the species rorqual there. and the mon
ster seemed to he their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel in schools,
and while at the surface to blow one
would be singled out and attacked by
the fish, and battle was soon i'll ORDER.
1t il the nature of the rorqnal to
make three blows ut intervals OF from
two to three minutes each, ard then
sound deep and stay beneath the sur
face for thirty Oh forty minutes. AS
whale would come to the surface there
would appear always ut the whales

head would connect with the body
great long tail or fin, Judged by i've
fishermen and number Of Indians.
after seeing it about fifteen times at
various distances" to be about twenty
four feet long, two and one-half feet
wide at the end and tapering down to
the water, where it seemed to be about
eighteen inches in diameter, looking
very much like the blade of the fan of
an old fashioned Dutch windmill.
The great club was used on the back
Of the unfortunate whale in such a
manner that it was wonder to me
that every whale attacked was not In
stantly killed. Its operator seemed to
have perfect control of it's movements
and would bend it back until the end
would touch the water, forming a
horseshoe loop; then with sweep it
would be Strengthened and brought
over and down on the back Of the
whale with whack that could be
heard for several miles. If the whale
was fortunate enough to submerge 1t.
self before the blows came, the spray
would fly for distance Of hundred
feet from the effect of the stroke, MAX
ing report as loud as yachts signal
gun.
What seemed most remarkable to me
was that, no matter which way the
attacked whale went or how fast (the
usual speed is about fourteen knots.
that great club would follow right
along by its side and deliver those ire
mendous blows at intervals Of about
four or five seconds. 1t would always
get in from three to five blows ut each
Of the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The
whale would generally rid itself Of the
enemy when it took it's deep sound.
especially If the water was forty
fathoms or more deep. During the day
the attack was always offshore, but
at night the whales would he attacked
In the bay and within 400 yards Of the
fishery.

The Postal u.iea.

The first step toward the formation
of the postal union. which has had
such wide results. came from Ger
many in the shape Of proposal for an
international postal congress. This met
at Berne in 1873, when twenty two
countries Joined the union, including
the whole Of Europe. A second con-
gress met in Paris in 1873. when ten
other countries came in. and the off,
cial title. international Postal Union -
was definitely fixed. Its sphere was
further enlarged at congresses at Lis
bon in 1885 and at Vienna in 1891.

TAFT hits NAIL
ON Tue HE D

Secretary of War Taft, In his speech
Thursday. hit the nail on the head, and
leaving out the rabid union labor voter
the politician who depends on thar
vote, and the yellow journal that de-
Ponds on those two classes for support
and graft, it Is safe to say the remarks
of the Secretary meet the unqualified
approval of Californians. For various
reasons many do not care to become
conspicuously antagonstic TO the ants
just at this time. but they are in full
sympathy with the following remarks
of the Secretary:
rs II just that for the purpose of
excluding or preventing perhaps 100
country against the law, we should sub
ject an equal number of Chinese mer-
chants and students of high character
to an examination of such an inqusi-
torial, humiliating, insulting and phys
ically uncomfortable character as to
discourage altogether the coming of
merchants and students?"
Then he said: zone of the great
commercial prizes of the world is the
trade with the 40O,000,0OO Chinese.
Ought we to throw away the advan-
tage which we have by reason of Chi
nese natural friendship for us and con-
tinue to enforce an unjustly severe law
and thus create in the Chinese mind a
disposition to boycott American trade
and to drive our merchants from Chi
nese shores, simply because we are
afraid that we may for the time lose
| the approval of certain unrea sonable
and extreme popular leaders of Cali
fornia and other Coast States? Does
the question not answer itself? Is it
not the duty of members of Congress
and OF the Executive to disregard the
unreasonable demands of a portion of
the community deeply prejudiced upon
this subject in the Far West and insist
on extending justice and courtesy to a
people from whom we are deriving and
are likely to derive such immense
benefit In the way OF international

(From Mondays Advertiser)
Captain Robert Parker is still Senior
Captain Of the Honolulu police. Yes
rerday he and Sheriff Brown had an
interview that cleared up some things
that seemed to have been hazy in the
first interview, and now among the
police the whole affair seems to be re-
garded as sort of joke. 1t seems that
the Sheriff and the Senior Captain had
some little dispute and Parker jumped
at the conclusion that his services were
no longer required from something that
the Sheriff said to him. According to
Sheriff Brown there was no intention
on his part to discharge Parker and he
said last night that evidently the Senior
Captain had got an idea that he was
fired" when such was not the case.
Captain Parker said last night: 81
am to report in the morning. went
to see the Sheriff this morning and he
told me that he did not want me to
leave the force and that he did not in
tend that should leave 1t when he
had the interview with me Saturday.
He said that some people had been
after him to discharge me, but that IL
was not his intention to do so when he
called me in. OF course when he said
he had no more confidence in me I
thought that he meant for me to get
out. But he says that he did not mean
that, so I am to go back tomorrow"
Sheriff Brown confirmed the state
ment that Captain Parker would be on
duty this morning, saying that he had
evidently mistaken his intention. He
said that Parker was a little excited
that morning and evidently thought
that the Sheriff meant to put him out,
so he turned In his badge and keys.
The Sheriff, stated that he and Parker
had had talk yesterday morning and
that as a result of 1t Parker would be
at his old post today.
Being asked about retrenchment in
the police force Sheriff Brown said: at
is not my intention to discharge any
of the men on the force now. When
any menNare discharged 1t will be done
after consultation with. and with the
approval of, the supervisors. They
have decided that there must be re-
ltrenchpent in the department. so of
course some will have to go. Person.
