ARE STILL
FAR APART

AZ the conclusion of long confer
ence yesterday afternoon between Gov
ernor Carter, Land Commissioner Pratt
and the two Moiokan tRussiant elders
on the proposed colonization Of lands
at Kapaa. Kauai. the Territory and the
cOlonizera were far apart as to figures.
In n nutshell the Russians wanted the
government 10 fix price on the land,
and the Governor, acting according to
the law, stated that the values must
be appraised. The elders. who leave
today on the Manchuria for California.
Will there await the decision OF the ap-
praisers before making a final report
to the Russian colony IN Southern Cali
fornia, which Is anxious to come to the
Hawaiian Islands.
Governor Carter made the following
statement yesterday afternoon;
I'VE are wide apart on figures. The
Russians will return TO California on
tomorrow's steamer. We will appoint
appraisers and as soon as they have
concluded their appraisement we viii
send word to the Russians.
''The rental value of the government
lands is based on eight per cent. OF the
appraised value. The land has no title
for three years. II tenants have COM
piled with all conditions then, and
make payment of the appraised value,
they can obtain a title.
In today's conference tried to point
out TO them that we were not trying
TO drive close bargain with them
or 90 anything other than to give them
an opportunity TO go on the land, and
they can pay for 1t when the timf
comes If they find by that time that
they have been deceived, and If theT
find things are not what We representa-
ed to them, they are not compelled to !
take them. They would only then havel
risked their time and gone to the ex-
pense of coming here. That Is not
great risk, when one man will advance
the money to get here The Russians
are not risking much.
Captain Demens seems to think It
will be difficult to persuade people back
there about the value of our lands.
unless they can be put down to SIS an
acre, and that IL we do not, the whole
proposition will be all off.
"I can not see that we can value the
land at SIS an acre.
my idea is that the Russians would
be getting a splendid thing at an aver
age on the cane and pasture land at
SIS an acre.
II have suggested this: That per-
haps the people Of the Territory are
willing to go into this and stand for
more than the one appraiser the law
allows. that two appraisers be also alb
pointed from Honolulu making thrae
in all with the land agent of Kauai.
This is not my land: It belongs I'd
the Territory of Hawaii. I don't wand
to be accused of blocking white labor-(
ers coming to the Territory. of course.
and I am anxious to do what is right
to all concerned.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The most in.
teresting subjects discussed at the
cabinet meeting yesterday were the
Chinese boycott against American
goods and consideration of complaints
male by the Chinese against the
method of execution of the existing
Chinese exclusion laws. The import
ant fact developed was that the presr-
dents effort last summer to allay the
indignation of the Chinese by a cir
cular of instructions to the American
minister to China and the consular
officers therein had in a measure failed
of it's purpose and required con-
siderable amendment to secure the
object sought. Minister Rockhill him
self reported that it had not been
found possible to carry out the instruc-
tons contained in the circular with
out doing great injustice to the
worthy Chinese AMI imposing burdens
too heavy to be borne upon the Amer
lean consuls. Secretary Taft took a
prominent part in the discussion of
this matter when it was presented by
Secretary Root and related some re-
trip. 1t developed that the require
mont that American consuls identify
Chinese seeking certificates admitting
them to American ports imposed a
task upon these officials beyond their
ability. The Chinese applicant fire.
quently came from some place far dis
tant from the American consulate and
the consul was consequently obliged
to refuse to identify as proper persons
to be admitted to the United States
many very worthy Chinese, which of
course lei to bitter complaint and fos-
tered the boycott feeling. Consider
ation of the subject continued for
some time. The trend of opinion III
the cabinet meeting was that the
complaints were directed rather
against the construction placed upon
the law than against the act itself
and especially against the definition
given in California to the term
coolie, SO it was practically decided
that some important changes in the
present regulations must be made
Yesterdays season was the first reg
ular meeting of the cabinet hell for
some months, and it was, one of the
longest held during the administration
of President Roosevelt. 1t was at
tended by all the members of the cabi-
net except Secretary Shaw, who is
absent from the city, and Secretary
Metcalf, who is i'll.

ARRESTED FOR HAVING GOV
EMINENT PROPERTY

Chicago, Oct. Edward Hart, a
saloonkeeper of Highwood, ILL.,, and
Albert O. Bray letter carriers, have
been arrested on the charge of having
government property in their posses
sion. Both men live just outside the
limits of the military post at Fort
Sheridan, and it is charged by the
officers at the fort that they have
been instrumental in disposing of
government property brought them
by the soldiers, giving in exchange
drinks and meals in the restaurants
of Highwood. William Walsh, alder
man of Highwood, also was arrested
but after giving the name of man
who has, he declared, a considerable
amount of government property in
his possession, he was released. lie
is believed that the stolen property
will amount to several thousand dol
lars in value, but that much OF it can
be recovered.

may at first consideration appear to
be disappointment to you and others
situated, who consider them
serves entitled to preference in re
spect to receiving free transportation,
but | trust that you Will entertain the
broader view, that it is better to pay
full transportation rates until such
times as transportation companies
shall be able or compelled to extend to
all the people of the state a substan-
tial reduction in passenger rates.
Does any good reason occur to you,
why if free transportation be issued to
you it should not be likewise 1ssued
to every merchant, business man, me-
canic, laborer or farmer 1t must be
true that the expense of carrying per-
sons who receive free transportation
is borne by some one and it is not
probable that the expense is borne by
the railroad companies, but rather that
it is loaded upon people less able to
pay the same than yourself, but who
are obliged to pay full fare when they
travel.
1T would surely be unsatisfactory to
you to know or suspect even that
others under like conditions were re-
ceiving free transportation or even
preference over you. Taking the oppo.
site view the same telling would be en-
tertained toward you under like cond1-
lions ii you were SO favored while
they, being equally entitled thereto,
were not. The great aim OF the rail-
way commission act is to secure sub
stantial equality to all in all kinds OF
railroad service. 1t appears to me
that this object should receive the ap-
prevail and support of all good c1t1-
zens.
What | have above stated is unoffi-
cial and is but an expression of my
private views on the matter, but | am
assured that like views are enter
tanned by the attorney general

NORWAY WANTS
No REPUBLIC

Christiania, Oct. 4.-The attempt to
create agitation in favor of a Nor
wegian republic is finding no support
from the country The leaders of the
movement appealed for addresses for
presentation to the storthing in IA
vor of republican form of govern
ment, but so far the appeal has met
with no response. The commercial
and industrial interests appear to de-
sire no disturbance of the existing
order of things.
At meeting here yesterday of rep
resentatives of commercial and ship
ping interests it was unanimously re
solved to present an address to the
storthing, declaring that submission of
the question of change in the con-
stitution to a plebiscite would great
1y injure the country's economic inter
ests, and favored the maintenance of
the monarchical constitution. 1t also
asks the storthing to ENSURE tranquil
ity by speedy election of king. 1t
was presented to the storthing last
evening.

ADVISED CAR TO MAKE PEACE
WITH JAPAN.
ROOSEVELT is IMMORTAL
American President Made Forever
Famous in European Eyes by His
Services for Peace-AIso Made
America Much More influential in
World Affairs.

New York, Oct. 4.-Congressman
Bartholdt, who returned yesterday
from Europe, gave an account last
night of the BRUSSELS conference of
the nter-parliamentary union and his
visit to Berlin. Six American dele
gates went on to Berlin after the con-
ference and were treated with the ut
most consideration. The emperor
sent imperial carriages to convey
them to the review grounds, where
they saw a parade Of $4,000 OF the
finest German troops From there
they were driven to the old castle
where his majesty received them in
star chamber. Their interview was
entirely informal and lasted for three
quarters Of an hour. At the con-
cluSion of the conference the emperor
requested Mr.. Bartholdt to convey to
the president an expression of esteem
and admiration of his successful eff
forts to bring about peace. Upon
Mr.. Barthoidt's remark that it was
generally supposed that his majesty
did much to accomplish the same re-
suit, the emperor said:
''It is true that did advise the car
to make peace"
Of the impression Roosevelt's sue
cess in bringing about peace had made
in Europe, Mr.. Bartholdt said:
I'm the eyes of Europe President
Roosevelt has made himself immortal,
and besides, it was the greatest serv-
ice an American president ever rem
dered his country because the infu-
ence of the United States in affairs Of
the world has thereby been marvellous
ly increased. The news came just
as the Brussels conference had con-
cluded it's labors, but at the following
social functions the American dele
gates were recipients of a most en-
thusiastic ovation and the words 'vive
Roosevelt, 'vive LAmericue' could
be heard on all Sides"

JUDGE HASTINGS WILL GUST MISSING
CLERK COLE OF MAR|NETTE COURT

Marinette, Wis, Oct. ARTHUR A
Cole, clerk of the court of Marinette
county, is somewhere in Canada
Yesterday charges were preferred in
open court against Cole by the prose-
cutting attorney and Judge Hastings
will formally remove him from Office
He is alleged to be $2,165 short in his
accounts and the total may be much
greater. A warrant has been issued
charging him with enlightenment and
he will be hunted down and returned
to Marinette no matter where he is.
The surety company in which he is
bonded is now after him.
When Cole fled he deserted his wife
and eight children, one of whom died
the morning of the day that he disap-
peared. He even helped to pin the
crepe on his office door and gave in
vide good casket, but left no money
to pay for it. His wife and family
were completely destitute and friends
and neighbors had to bury the little
boy and provide the mother and chill
dren with something to eat.
From Marinette Cole went to Me-
nominee, where he secured a team
and carriage and drove Is miles, to
ingalls,, Mich. There he took the
first train for Hermansville, Mich, on
the 500 road, and then presumably
went east to Canada, crossing the line
at the 500.

PARTICIPANTS
IN FIERCE DUEL
ARE KILLED

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. with no
other witnesses than a vicious dog,
two men, James CAVITY, a timber
cruiser and Gus Lahti, a homestead
er, fought a duel to death Saturday
afternoon at Taber, II miles north OF
Hibbings. The details of the battle
will never be known, but from the
appearance of the scene the struggle
must have been fierce, the ground
being torn up over wide surface.
Both bodies were badly mang1ed.
CAVITY left Welsh's camp near Taber
Saturday afternoon and it is supposed
dog or had angered Lahti by crossing
the line of his homestead. The pre-
sumption is that Lahti attacked
CAVITY with knife, giving CAVITY sew
eral deep cuts about the head and
body. Lahti also carried a gun,
with which he shot his opponent in
the breast. CAVITY evidently wrenched
the knife away, as Lahti was also
badly cut up. The former was also
chewed about the legs by the dog.
When the men were nearly dead, ap-
pearances indicate that they separat-
ed and took different directions, as
the bodies were found 900 feet apart.
CAVITY was missed at the camp in the
evening and was found by a search
ing party the next day. Lahti's body
was not found until Tuesday. The
men had never met before.

+ Cole came to Marinette three years
ago, a highly respected and supposed
ly honest young man, but shortly after
finally hitting the pace hard and
spending money much faster than he
made it. During the last three
months he squandered, it is believed,
between $4,000 and $4,000. He fire.
|quently gave suppers costing from
500 to 5000. The surprising thing is
that he was able to do it and NJ
arouse much suspicion.
A month ago there was conference
of attorneys here to consider the mat
ter of beginning an action to remove
him from office, but nothing was done
The public indignation here is in
tense. 1t is believed that the offivers
have line of his present whereabouts
and are ready to produce him when
he is wanted. He had little money
when he left, drawing his month sal
airy to provide the means to make his
escape. He is about "a years or age,
rather good looking and with a decid-
led penchant to be a ladies' man.
The records in his Office are in bad
shape and it will take long time to
place Marinette county court records
in proper condition.
His wife will be divorced from him
this week. Several weeks ago she be-
gan an action against him and in her
complaint named seven women.

GOMEZ DENIES
HIS MISSION
IN POLITICS

New York, Oct. General Gomez,
governor of Santa Clara province,
Cuba, who recently resigned as liberal
candidate for the presidency OF Cuba
in opposition to President Palma, ar
rived here yesterday on the steamer
Monterey. He will remain in this coun-
try for about two weeks. To the AS
ISOLATED Press General Gomez said he
did not know whether he would visit
Washington and does not expect to
visit President Roosevelt. When in
formed of the report that he came on
mission to ask American Intervention
in Cuban politics, he replied with an
emphatic No" Gomez is accom-
panied only by O. Ferrara, lawyer OF
Havana. 1t was learned aboard the
ship that both Cubans and Americans
whose business interests are in Cuba,
entertain some anxiety over the out
come of the political dissension. Fer
rara, while almost as reticent as Co
mez, said that all the jails in Santa
Clara province were filed with politi-
cal prisoners. Merchants aboard the
ship readily talked Of the situation.
One of the largest cigar manufacturers
in this city and Cuba said it was the
well founded belief of all the passen-
gers, after the gossip of the trip, and
even before the steamer sailed from
Havana, that Gomez was on a secret
mission and that he woul call upon the
president before he returned to Cuba.

speaker at the democratic legislative
reunion here last night. Governor
Folk, Senator Stone, former Governor
Dockery and Congressman Champ
Clark also addressed the meeting,

absolutely free unrestricted trade

United States Senator Cockrill said,
ut is mystic shrine, whose devotees
are seeking an impossibility as long
as restrictions on commerce are main

commercial nations are today impos-

products on account of the highly pro-
tective duties of the Dingley tariff law,
and will continue them as long as our
duties remain as they are"
He advocated reciprocity as a means

trust, will cease by reason of imports
