War and Revolution Crowd the Foreign Horizon

The 1st day of January, 1905, went into history with an event pregnant not only for the year. but for all time, for on that day Russian soldier emerged from the inner fortress of Port Arthur bearing from it's commander, Stoessel, the letter of surrender to that victorious Japanese general. Nogi. At that mo- ment the long cherished dream of an oriental empire and world conquest by the imperial house of Romanoff through the exploitation of 125,OO0,000 of Mus 'coyite subjects vanished into thin air.
 This event, the fall of Port Arthur, which began the year, was also the be- ginning of the end of the Russo-Japa- nese war. The siege had cost Japan 55,- 0o0 casualties, but the remaining veter- ans under Nogi were hurled directly northward to re-enforce the left wing of the greatest army ever put aicld, com.

In Philadelphia no one thing SO much strengthened the hands of Weaver as the letter from Elihu Root just before the great New York attorney entered by the death of Secretary Hay. His bold characterization of the Penrose- Durham organization as "a corrupt and criminal combination masquerading under the names of Republisansp gave courage to the long ensiaved party worshipers of the Keystone State.

To look at, tSaucy" is typical buff falo calf, seven months old. She is only two weeks younger than sfWar Whoop' and "Tomahawk," the now famous team, but she is considerably smaller, as it is natural that femais calf should be. Tn color she is exactI Iy like her brothers, but her fur ia softer and more beautiful. Then, her hump is not so high, and her horn4 are neither so long nor so thick those of the bull calves. Though sl has been handled much less, she quite as fearless as the other two, there is roguish look in her which makes every one want to her. and tendency to lightness in hind feet which makes most people frain from doing so.
 What has always endeared her me is her intense loyalty to her bTpt CTS. All buffaloes are clannish. a ''Saucy" is remarkably so.

IMMIGRATION
BOARD RESTS
WILL WAIT UNTIL IT GETS IN
FORMATION FROM PLANTERS
BEFORE TAKING ACTION.

Until the Board of Immigration re-
ceives certain information from the
different plantations as to just what
they are prepared to offer in the way
of inducements to European laborers,
it will spend its time in a deeply rest
full manner.
1t Will be remembered that it had
been the intention to send E. e. Pax
ton to New York to see what could be
done towards inducing Northern TIA
lians, Northern Spaniards and other
desirable classes of immigrants to turn
their wandering footsteps this way, but
at the last moment Paxton cancelled
his engagement and remained here. To
use his own words it would have been
loves labor lost to go on to New York
unless he knew exactly what he could
offer people to come here.
The Board talked the matter over
and finally addressed a communication
to the Planters Association asking for
information on the very material point
raised. The Planters considered the
question and finally appointed a spe-
ctal committee TO deal with the differ
ent plantations. A circular letter was
prepared and when all the answers are
in the Planters will return the informa-
tion gathered to the Board of Immigra-
ton.
The difficulty is that nearly every
plantation is differently situated" said
one of the Planters this morning.
/ Some will be able to offer inducements
and others will be able to offer none.
The plantations that cultivate leasehold
property will not be in a position to
offer much and those that have leases
with only a short time to run will be
unable to offer anything at all. Some
will of course be in a position to make
offers which should prove attractive.
The matter is complicated but it is
probable that something will be done
soon"

it, and the matter will be serious If
Douse is set free The county officials
are doing all they can, and the hearing
of Douse on a charge of murder is now
going on. l am inclined to think he
will be held for the next Grand jury.
THE report of the three white ply
sicans, which is regarded as utterly
absurd, had much to do with inhaming
the Japanese. Everyone on Maui is
laughing at the report, and it has done
great deal of harm and embarrassed
the county officials In view of the
injuries to the japanese the finding
that he died from heart disease caused
by kidney trouble is regarded as ridi-
culous.
"Douse admits having struck the Jap
anese and thrown the oil on him but
says that he did not intend to start
the explosion. He lit a match and in
tended to throw it into the can, by
way of showing the Japanese how eX-
plosive the oil he had brought was.
Others say he threw the lighted match
at the Japanese. However this may
be the explosion followed and the Jap
anese was burned. 1t was only when
three white physicians said that the
cause of death was heart disease caused
by kidney trouble and a coroner's jury
completely eXonerated Douse that the
Japanese became aroused.
"If Douse is held. | am inclined to
think that the trouble will blow over.
As it is, their attitude is expressed by
their statement to me as to their views
of allowing Douse to go. They said
We will see which can last longest, the
