st. Petersburg, Jan. 13.-Russia has
sent a circular to the foreign govern
ments enumerating alleged Chinese vio-
lations of neutrality, the efforts of the
powers having failed to prevent them.
The circular predicts that the viola
tlons. will continue, as China is unable
to fulfill her obligations. In these cir
cumstances Russia reserves the right to
act in her own interests respecting
China's neutrality. The circular con-
currently calls the attention of the
powers to the anti-European agitation
in China, which it says has created a.
serious situation.
Paris, Jan. 13.-The Associated Press
learns authoritetively that Russia
gives what she says is absolute proof
of Chinese breaches of neutrality. The
three main complaints are: ..e
First-That the islands Of Miaotia and
the straits of Pechili opposite Port Arthur
have been constantly used by the Japan
csc without Chinese interference, as a
strategical base and as q harbor for JAP
anese torpedo boats. ...
Second-That the Chinese army on the
border has accepted the command of Jap
anese officers. =.
Third-That Chinese firms have been
constantly working in behalf of the Jap.
anese, supplying them with provisions
military accoutrements and general wal
stores. -

APPEAL BY FOSS
American Reciprocity Advocate Speaks
in Toronto

Toronto, Ont, Jan. 13.-Eugene Foss
Of Boston in all address to the members
of the Empire club, yesterday, made a
strong plea for reciprocity between the
United States and Canada. Protection,
he said, was not meant as a permanent
trade policy for any country but rather
rs a temporary expedient to build up
infant industries until they were in a
position to meet world wide competition.
1t did not contemplate the supporting
of pauper industries foreign to coun-
try soil and climate and resources, nor
does it contemplate the building up of
industries to a point where they became
monopolistic. This latter stage in the
matter of reciprocity, he said, was, in
his opinion, VIGOROUSLY erroneous. The
movement was not confined to Massa
chusetts nor to the democratic party.
President Roosevelt and other leaders
of the republican party, Mr.. Foss de-
clared, felt the need Of cultivating
closer trade relations with Canada
With this new spirit in the United
States promising a more liberal view
of international relations, he hoped that
Canada would not adopt an attitude of
E'provincial isolation.'
Canada's Destiny.
Mr.. Foss argued further that it was

We are all right. We are working. out
our own destiny as you have worked
out yours, and if we can only continue
on this line we shall become large
and powerful nation. in numbers and
wealth the rival of the United States. -
I honor this sentiment and the am
bition from which it springs. T am
second to no man In my appreciation of
Canadian craftsmanship and ability, but
all the facts Of the material world con-
firm my belief that the United States is

We have no desire to slaughter your in.

Such a course, while Immediately profit

No commonwealth of all our forty fiv

Washington, Jan. 13.-It has been

Henry Clay Evans, who will retire at
the beginning Of the new administra-
ton. George B. Cortelyou will become

reported retirement of Consul General
Evans, the Standard today says:
"The reported return to America Of
the Hon. H. Clay Evans, American con-
sui general in London, has been re-
ceived with general regret.
General Evans, as he is affection
ately termed by his many English and
American friends, assumed the duties
of consul general in June, 1902, and
since that date has achieved more for
the country he represents than has been
accomplished by many an ambassador
No more typical American ever came to
London in an official capacity. Yet
Mr.. Evans has constantly proved him
self in genuine sympathy with British
ideals and British aspirations. A south:
erner to the tips Of his fingers, he and
his charming family have been. wei

Life Of. the British metropolis, and j

resi- gnation being accepted by President
Roosevelt will prove prematuEe.''

study from all parts of the country. The large,
thoroughly equipped summer schools are par
ticularly well patronized by outsiders. Pedagogy,
now recognized OF the great professions
is taught here with every possible advantage
A comparatively new school among the higher
arts is that Of dramatics. This is represented by
six institutions here, where would-be stars may
not find the royal road to stage bonors exactly,
but where the footlights are robbed of many OF
their transforming features.
A still newer profession to adopt technical
education is Journalism. Perhaps none have mad
to overcome greater prejudices- In New-York
are some half dozen minor schools for news
paper men, and there is eventually to be great
one which will be the greatest of its kind III the
world
Each of the engineering professions has
high grade school, including three polytechnic
Institutes
The business Institutes perhaps most closely
allied to the life of the city number thirteen
In the same general class are seven schools for
stenOgraphy and typewriting, one for telegraphy
and one for applied science and two trade
schools.
In this city said to be devoid of homes, are
three first class cooking schools and two sewing
Sc hools
The polite art of expression is taught in six
schools of elocution, and dancing claims count
less numbers.
Just now while this fad, very good one, is
at its height, there innumerable schools of
manual training. Here the child or youth is
taught to acquire the mastery of his hands pre-
paratory to taking up any trade he may choose.
Other institutions that might be enumerated
are two nautical schools, three trade schools
one of practical electricity and one OF photog-
raphy.

those for stammerers, the teaching of phre
nology, sign painting, plumbing carpentry. pat
tern painting and many others.
No New-York boy or girl needs to go abroad
for an education. The best part of it for many.
too, is that in most of these schools the poor
youth find means of getting an education at
little cost.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

There should be freedom from the exaction and
distraction of competitive athletics There should
be prohibition of competitive games. Such
games injustice to the large jority of
students. Athletics should be conducted for their
own sake, for sport and for physical training and
when they conducted for these purposes-Iegit-
innate and laudabe-they will assume their proper
position in college work OF the future; and it may
be that athletics of kind properly regulated
should be required part of the students work
in college
Certainly a college having a three years course
which viii be the custom in the future-cannot
afford the time necessary for competitive games
one need not make any argument relative to the
deinor;IlizinS influence of such games or to the
physical consequences of severe contests Such
arguments can be aside at once for thev are
dHiple' II seems to me, to warrant any college in

THE LAW
WAS VOID

In connection with the proposed or
dinance Of the Board of Supervisors OF
the County of Oahu, to prohibit laun-
drymen from sprinkling clothes with
water elected from the mouth, the fol-
lowing decision of the Supreme Court
is interesting. 1t was rendered Febru-
airy 13, 1899, by s. NJ. Ballqu, of the
bar, sitting in place of Justice Frear,
absent, and was concurred in by Chief
Justice Judd and Justice Whiting. The
case was that of Republic of Hawaii VS..
Ching Geung and Kaing, and this was
the decision, holding the law in ques-
tion unconstitutional:
The defendants were convicted in
the District Court of Honolulu of a
violation of Act 81 of the Session Laws
Of 1898, and an appeal was taken to
this court upon points Of law which
raise the question of the constitutions
ality of the act.
1.-The act in question is as follows:
An act to regulate the laundering
of clothing, bed clothing, napery,
towels and other articles of like char
acter. Be it enacted by the Legisla-
ture of the Republic of Hawaii:
Section l. 1t shall be unlawful
for any person to eject water or other
fluid from his mouth upon any clothing,
bed clothing, napery, towels or other
articles of like character, in preparing
same for ironing or pressing, or in iron
ing or pressing them.
Sec. 2. Any person so doing shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall be
fined not exceeding ten dollars; and
upon. conviction of subsequent Of
fense shall be fined not exceeding
twenty dollars.
See. 3. This act shall take ef-
feet from the date of publication.
Approved, etc.
cit is contended for the defendant
that there is nothing on the face of the
act to show that it was passed as q
health regulation nor was there any
evidence that the practice is unhealth-
full. 1t would seem, however, that the
healthfulness or unhealthfulness of the
practice is a matter for judicial cog
nizance, aided by reference to any
standard sources of information.
Schollenberger VS.. Pennsylvania, III U.
S., l.
"We do not find it necessary to id
eide upon this point, however, becausA
we believe that, viewed as a health
measure, the statute is an unreasonable
regulation. 1t is not confined in its
terms to clothing laundered for hire nor
even to the clothing of others. Any
person ejecting water from his mouth
upon his own clothing in ironing it
would he guilty of misdemeanor
under, the act. This is beyond the
valid exercise of the police power. The
rights of an individual can not be-
abridged except in so far as may be
necessary to prevent injury to the
rights of others.
"We are obliged to declare the act
unconstitutional.
"E. P. Dole, deputy attorney gen.
eral, for prosecution; A. G.. M. Robert
son and P. Neumann, for defendants. ,,
