THE ELFRIDA's PERIL
Naval Reserves Had an Exciting Time 5and Narrow Fscape.

NaNal deserves 1aQ all EAclIllS 1liLS -... and Narrow Escape.
 Bridgeport, July 31-Commander Cornwall of the Connecticut Naval Bat talion, who resides in New Haven; Lieutenant Frederic A! Bartlett and a detail of thirty-f1ve men of the third division of this city, while on board the practice ship Elfrida, had. a close can from a collision with the two coal laden barges which were swept into the sound in the flood Sunday morning. !, Had either bark struck the Elfrida it - would have smashed the vessel into pieces and loss of life would have re- suited. The naval reserves have there fore been congratulating themselves upon their escape. t'
 The men had been os. board the El- frida all day and the bad weather had somewhat upset their plans. All hands were asleep, on board in the inner breakwater. The fires were banked and the anchor watches alone were on duty. The voices of women crying for help reached the watches who responded by Emegaphone, Burton l.. Powell was on the bridge acting as quartermaster and peering into the darkness he saw two black forms approaching directly to- wards the Elfrida. ~- 4 =Powe sounded an alarm and Com nlander Cornwall, Lieutenant Bartlett and the men came on deck. It was so dark they were unable to discern what the objects were, for there were no lights on either barge at the time. The barges, as they later proved to be, came closer and closer and the thirty seven men could do nothing but wait what appeared to be the inevitable. 7 The fear seemed to paralyze them, for all stood motionless on the decks. The first barge approached with a rush to a point hardly four feet from the Elfrida when the boat veered and cleared the E1frida nicely.
 But the danger was not yet over. The second barge took exactly the same course and it's bulky form hove into sight and seemed to be going straight for the practice ship, but by some unaccountable condition the sec ond barge swept by the Elfrida, not touching her.
 A large three-masted schooner was also in danger, but the barges cleared it and left the harbor; even avoiding the breakwater. The escape of the amateur tars, the crew of the schooner and the danger to the persons on the barges by contract with the breakwater was due to a remarkable train of for tunate circumstances. Men on the FL frida went but in small boats and took the women and children from the barges and later put them on the tug Senator Rice which caught the barges.

She Has Guided Thousands to HeaIth.-
 How Lydia E. PinIrham's Vegetable Com. pound Cured Mrs. Fred Seydel. <.

more experience in treating female ills than any living person. .
 Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pink ham every year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been go- ing on for twenty years, day after day.
 Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experi- ence, especially when it is absolutely free.
 Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con- fidence of women, and every testimo- nial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as they have been. Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 WOver e year ago wroteyo letter asking advice, as I had female ills and could not carry child to maturity. I received your kind letter of instructions and followed your advice, am not only well woman ln con- sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. l wish every suffering woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have done so much for me-"
 Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills.
 No other medicine in all the world has such a record of cures of female troubles as has Lydia B. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound. Therefore no prudent woman will accept any substi- tute which druggist may offer.
 If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special advice. It is free and always helpful.

COAL IN FRENCH PORT
MOVEMENT OF RUSSIAN FLEET
Japanese Charge infrinsements OF
French NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Not Definitely Located.

London. April 1s.-The latest news
from the Far East shows that certainly
portion of the Russian second Pacific
squadron was still eoaling at kamranh
bay Saturday morning. April Is. This
news was brought TO Singapore by the
British steamer Sui-Sang and to Hong
Kong by the French steamer PhnYen.
The former merely reports passing
the Russian ships at IL o'clock in the
morning. The Phn-Yen's officers saw
twenty vessels coaling inthe bay, and
it is suspected that the remainder of
the feet was inside the harbor.
According TO the Mails correspond
ent at Singapore. the Sui-Sang. which
was not molested by the Russians.
sighted a big French warship two
hours later, fourteen miles to the
southwark evidently proceeding TO
kamranh bay.
The piecemeal character of the news
excludes the possibility of any accu-
rate estimate OF the movements of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron, but
II would seem to show that the vice
admiral has divided his forces. a por-
tion OF which went northward before
Saturday.
What has happened since then ii is
impossible to say. and there is no clear
evidence even that the Russians have
been within the three mile limit which
would bring them. according TO inter
national regulations. into infringe
ments Of French neutrality. The fact
that they were visible to passing ships
would appear TO show that they were
outside the limit.

Japanese sentiment. however. Is
greatly disturbed. The correspondent
at Toxic of the Telegraph says he has
no hesitation in declaring that should
occasion arise and her preliminary pro
tests be ignored. Japan will regard any
anchorage occupied by the Russian
fleet as its naval base and deal with
the situation accordingly. A dispatch
from Saigon states that quantity OF
goods purchased there has been deiis.

JAPANESE IN MOCK
CONGRESS
Continued from page one).


We will adopt a republican form of
government of course for did We not,
we should have to make it on the Jap
anese model, and that would involve
the selection of a mock emperor which
would hardly do
The Japanese mock congress will
meet them tonight for the first time at
the Japanese club on Queen street A
president, vice-president clerk, SER
geant-at-arms and other officers will
be chosen and after an explanatory
speech from the organizer, the selec-
ton Of the following standing commit
tees will be made: Finance, commerce,
labor agriculture and miscellaneous.
The supp1stion is that the congress
has met before and that there are GER
tain bills and resolutions under dis.
cussion. These bills are now up for
second reading. The most important is
a resolution affecting labor matters.
1t treats two matters in particular,
in the first place that of how to make
immigration Of japanese to Hawaii
easier and secondly, how to get labor
ers here who will be settled in their
occupation.
Taking up the first point the resolu-
tion urges that the Japanese Govern
ment should put the emigration to Ha-
wall outside the general emigration
protection law. This it is claimed would
put it beyond the power of a number
of individuals and concerns to fleece
poor emigrants. The steamship COM
panies, too should be instructed to sell
tickets direct to migrants instead OF
through hotels and agencies. The gov
eminent should further adopt a system
of insurance instead of permitting the
present show money" system upon
which all sorts of graft is hinged.
Further the resolution states that the
American and japanese governments
should reach an agreement by which
the conditions imposed on emgrants
by quarantine regulations could be
ameliorated and that the transporta-
ton companies should also sell tickets
direct through to the destination of the
emigrant.
With a view to the plantations pros
curing settled labor the resolution
urges that the employment of married
men with families should be encourage
ed and that some provision should be
made for the further encouragement of
laborers who are proved to be indus
trious. The Hawaiian Legislature is al
so urged to pass an Employers Liabil-
ity Act The plantations, according to
this document, should have kindergar-
tens where the children of men and
women working in the fields can be
looked after and also an hospital for
the care Of sick laborers should be pro-
vided by each plantation. Laborers
who have wives and families should
have separate houses with sufficient
land to raise garden produce and if
after five years they should leave,
should be given reasonable compensa.
ton Tor such Improvements as they
had wrought.

will be submitted as the Session" prc-

HOW HACKFELO
WHARF WILL
Be RAT-PROOF
DETAILS OF PLAN APPROVED BY
THE ACTING HEAD OF MARINE
HOSPITAL SERVICE.

The details for making the Hackfeld
wharf rat proof were settled yester-
day afternoon at the examination of
the premises made by Dr. Hobby the
acting head of the local marine
hospital service. F. w. Klebahn and
Captain Riley of II. Hackfeld and Com
pany's service and Harry Denison the
wharf superintendent of the oahu Rail
way and Land Company. 1t is pro-
posed to cut out ten feet of the Hack
field wharf just Eva Of the IL" which
is about midway from the land to the
wharf shed. There will be a draw
bridge placed at this point, over which
drays and other vehicles going to and
from the wharf, can pass.
Before such change can be made
however, permission will have to be
first obtained from the superintendent
of public works as the wharf is terri
torial property. If the improvement
be made which win be by private
means, the Waikiki end of the wharf
will be a platform isolated from the
land except by means of the little
draw bridge.
