OLD QUARREL IS
THING OF PAST
CLAUS SPRECKELS AND HIS son
RUDOLPH HAVE MADE UP-BIT-
TER ENMITY WITH ROSE OVER
HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL.
NerY truly yours.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-After
nearly six years of a bitter enmity that
almost amounted to a family feud, Ru-
dolph Spreckels, the young capitalist,
and Claus Spreckels, the Sugar King,
have been reconciled. In his declining
years the elder Spreckels has decided
that the domestic quarrels which sent
three of his children from his side were
not worth continuing and his truce
with Rudolph, it is hoped, forecasts a
general family reunion.
Though Rudolph Spreckels is recon-
ciled to his father it is said that the
olive branch as not yet been extended
to his brothers Adolph and John ID.
Spreckels, who chose the fathers
side Of the difference which closed the
doors of the home against Rudolph and
Gus. Emma Spreckels, whose quarrel
with her father dates from her mar
riage with Tom Watson, is also said to
be on her way home from abroad to
join in the feast of the fatted calf.
The difficulty which first separated
the Spreckels family arose over the
transactions of the Hawaiian CONNER
' cial Company, that organization which
| has brought so much good fortune
wealth and pickering with it. For a
number of years Claus Spreckels had
presented blocks of stock in the COM
pany to his children on various occa-
sions until Rudolph and Gus owned a
large share of the property.
| In the year 1899 an assessment was
declared on all stock of the Hawaiian
| Commercial Company which, as it
amounted to IS a share, was practically
a freeze out. OF the 1901 900 outstand-
ing shares assessments We're paid on
only 1900 and the balance fell into te
treasury of the company. Gus object
ed to this plan of reorganization on the
fathers part by which all outsiders
lost their interest in the property and
Rudolph took the side of his brother
against the old man. The two other
brothers, AdOlph and John d. Spreck-
els, arrayed themselves with Claus.
The attitude assumed by Gus and Ru-
dOlph Immediately caused friction in
the family, which was not lessened
when the two sons managed to gather
the money to cover their assessments
from the firm of Allen & Lewis in Port
land. Gus and Rudolph decided fur
Their to resist the claims of their father
in order to prevent a conhscation OF
their entire stock, and they brought a
suit in equity through CARRIER, Boalt &
Bishop. This resulted in a compromise
by which the property was turned over
to the two real plaintiffs, subject to a
lien of 100000 in outstanding bonds
BY this decision the control of the COM

THE RIVER NEvA.

What It Is to the People of the Rus
 sian Capital
 The River Neva, that flows through the Russian capital, is to the citizens just what the weather is to English man: it forms an admirable subject of conversation when the ice is forming, and agin when it is breaking up, says The London Globe. The Russian living on it's banks holds the river in great reverence, although 1t is far from be- ing such a national river as is the Volga. Nearly two hundred years ago Peter the Great built his new capital on the land reclaimed from the low iy- ing marshy banks of the short river, only forty miles long, which empties Lake Ladoga into the Gulf of Finland. The city, raised at an enormous cost of human life, has waged continual warfar with the Nevae which, with a strong wind blowing up the stream from Cronstadt, twenty miles to the westward, very soon overf1ows it's banks and does great deal of damage in the basements of the houses occupi- ed by the poorer classes. As the river rises big guns are fired by the au- thorities, and the people begin to nov. their goods beyond the reach of the rising water.

4 MAssAeHusErrs NOTION.

The State prison at Charlestown, Massachusetts. Is a little too near the center of culture for consistency, and there is talk Of a change. It appears that the territory of Massachusetts in- cIudes an island bearing the euphoni- oUs name of Nashawena, which is large enough to furnish an ideal site for the State prison. Nashawena island is fourteen miles from New Bedford. thir- teen miles from Woods Holl. and six miles from the nearest mainland. Gov ernor Douglas has virtually obtained an option on the island at a price of 70.80O, and the purchase price includes a thousand head of sheep and cattle. The present State prison at Charles town could be sold for enough to buy this island and to pay for the erection of a good modern prison structure. The governor estimates that some of the prisoners could be employed on the island in producing food supplies which would result in 8 saving of s15,000 or more annually. He has sent a special message to the legislature presenting the project, which stands a good chance of being adopted.
 This will be an interesting move. Nashawena island may be as useful as Blackwell's island.

i CHFCAGO SCH ME.

Now that Chicago has a new mayor who is going to "municipalize" the street railroads in five minutes or more, much may be expected of her. She starts off with movement designed to abolish the evils of the national bank ruptcy system. Growing out of the op- position of the wholesale merchants of Chicago to. the present bankruptcy law, the organization of Cooperative Ad- justndeIit Association" has received it's first impetus at a meeting of the Credit Mems Association. This adjustment as- sociation is to be formed principally for the purpose of settling insolvent es- tates. In the language of those who urged the plan, the formation of such an organization will go far towards do- ing away with the ''evils of bankrupty proceedings, wherein nearly all the as sets are swallowed up in the fees of attorneys, referees and trustees" The plan advocated provides for the organ ization of a central bureau. managed by a salaried man, with two or three att torneys and office assistants. Alliance with other associations also is contem- plated, making it national in scope
 This is a big scheme, and perhaps not bad one. 2 The national bankruptcy law, following the course of previous laws of the .kind,, is not working as we'll as it was expected to work. A Co., operative Adjustment Association may be an improvement. ~

ticle r of the Shan-tung mining regu- lations, signed by Germany and China in 1900, which provides that within a distance of ten miles on each side of the railroad only Germans and Chinese shall be permitted to open mines, stip- ulates that in mines already open the Chinese may continue work, Germany now claims that these words mean that Chinese must work in the old way, and cannot adopt modern methods. China protests against this interpretation, which the Germans demand shall ap- ply not only to the area along the rail- road, but to five additional mining zones. covering practically the whole remaining mining area of a province larger than England and Wales.

 This ceremony has always been most popular With the masses. Until recent years it was the custom for mothers to bring their babies and take up their stand quite close to the pavilion; then, when the Metropolitan had bless ed the river. the fond mothers used to struggle. to be the first to get down Ito the hole in the ice, So that they could dip their children Into the water; of course, the more the child was inn mersed, the greater would he the bless. ing; the child had, thus. to be held by the heel.

 The eermony Of blessing the Neva at the Epiphany is the most striking
 cermony connected with the river. For some weeks before Christmas soldiers are busy at work in building an eight
 sided wooden pavilion on the edge of the quay, and just facing the river
 portal of the Winter Palace. This pavilion is decorated most gorgeously in all the wealth of coloring that is so characteristically Slavonis. On the eVentful day soldiers are drawn up at some distance from the pavilion, and
 at noon the Czar, the elder grand dukes and the imperial staff walk from the Winter Palace to the pavilion, where the Grand Metropolitan of Rus sla. in most georgeous golden and be- -Jeweiled vestments, awaits the non-

 thrice into the Neva; he then gives to the czar chaliee filled with water brought from the River Jordan, and he invokes Gods blessing on the river that 1t may not overflow Its banks and that it may carry in saftey all the yes- 'sels that ply on its waters. The Car raises the chalice to his lips. This act .ls announced to-, the great crowds around and to the city by the firing, of a salute by the big guns mounted along the wall of the. sts.

The priests were equal to the occasion when the mother be. gan to lament loudly, for they told her she ought to consider herself "blessed among women." for God had taken her child to Himself. The woman ceased to weep at once, and she become an ob- ject of envy. The stream of the Neva is very rapid: it is full of eddies and currents. and 1t is always very cold. But the black snake like waters contain salmon which are unequalled.

THE GERMANS IN SHAs.TUyG.


 Dr. Morrison, the well-known corre- spondent of the London Times at Pekin, is much excited over>the policy of the Germans in Shan-tung. He says that they are following the example of the Russians in Manchuria and that while Count von BueIow is giving assurances to Europe of his adherence to the policy of the open door, his agents in China are demanding the extension of rights already acquired. The exclusive right to construct a system of railroads in the province, which Germany acquired in 1S9S, carries with 1t the right to a mining monopoly for ten miles on each side of all the railroads. Deeming this insufficient, on December 15 last the German minister presented four addi- tional demands to the Chinese officials. the third of which was that within two years of the opening by Germany of any mine within this area all Chinese mines already open within a distance of five miles of German mines should sus- pend operations. The practical effect of this would be to increase the Ger man monopoly from ten miles to fifteen miles on each side of the railroad, Arr

4 RE TIT ERE ST,IES " OUR ARMT? It is not at all surprising that our War department has got a notion that there, may be spies in our army. The matter has engaged the attention of General John P. Story, chief of artil- !cry, and Judge-Advocate Davis. It ap- pears that an enlisted man of the Eighteenth Coast Artillery deserted from that command at Fort Schuyler, This man, who is a German, was unus- ually intelligent, attentive to duty and respectful to his superiors. Before he deserted he was under suspicion, but there is no proof that he was a spy. Tn passing on the case Judge-Advocate Davis recommends that inspectors be instructed to examine the personnel of the coast artillery to determine whether there are foreigners in that arm of the service. If soldider speaks English with a strong foreign accent, it may  safely be presumed that he is an alien" |" General Story recommends that re- cruiting officers be instructed to- en. list no foreign-borr recruit who cannot produce evidence of naturalization. Evidently the General does not think any plan which has been suggested would keep spies out of the army. "A spy" he says, would have sufficient in- telligence to overcome obstacles which might be added to existing safe guards.,'
 Of course. It is altogether likely that the Powers are well represented in our army. Possibly the Japanese may be too. And we supposeit is barely possi- ble that there are. good United States men in other armies. ..
