bill for accounting. 1t appears that n
masters report was made on the mat
tiers at issue over six years ago. The
report dealt with evidence relating to
events of three to five years prior to
the time it was filed. The least re
mote events from the hearing just had
by him, Judge Robinson said, occurred
nine years ago.
Lately the defendant Vat moved for
confirmation of the masters report
Thereupon the plaintiffs "got busy
in opposition to the report, after hav'

these years. The court takes cogniz
ance of such sleeping on rights, besides
giving reasons for having confidence IN
the accuracy and justice of the mas

follows:
The plaintiffs exceptions to the re.

CONSULATE GENERAL or
PORTUGAL.
Honolulu. Dec. 4. 1905
The Consul General OF Portugal
hereby declares that His Maies-
ty's government only favors the
emigrations from our country to
national possessions and by no
manner whatever to foreign coun-
tries.
We desire 20 make well known
10 the public that the Consulate
shall maintain itself Indifferent

igration. that we see discussed by

Consul General of Portugal.
Consul General Canavarro. who was

THE translation OF the circular is
correct. | thought necessary. on ac-
count of incorrect ideas that some
persons have spread, to define the at
titude OF the home government In mat
tiers of emigration and at the same
time the attitude of the consulate. 1t
is an absolute. settled policy of Portu-
gal not to encourage the emigration of
its people TO foreign countries. Our
great colonial possessions need all our
surplus population. These possessions
are in Africa. From this point of
view the government favors and assists
materially, by grants of land and sea-
passage the settlement of its own out
lying territories, Nevertheless Portu-
guese citizens are free to emigrate to
any country, after complying with po-
lice regulations as to passports, etc.
My circular defines the policy of the
government and the policy of the con-
sulate as its interpreter. 1t was drawn
out principally by letters of inquiry from
Portuguese of these islands who had
been misled by printed articles which
made them believe that the consulate
had something to do with immigra-
ton"

IMPROVEMENT OF HARBORS IN
THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-12-12

was obtained from the dredge captain,
who has done a great amount of this
dredging work up to this time. In
quiries were also made as to the mate
rails encountered at the few places
where borings have been made. The
information obtained from this source,
however was too meager to be of mate
rial value.
Section A includes the channel from
the break in the reef to the inner har-
Dor.
Section B includes approximately the
inner harbor as bounded by present
harbor lines.
Section C includes the proposed en-
largement.
The material to be removed from
sections A and b is of soft mud and
sand.
In section C it is believed that alter
mating layers of mud and sand and
coral rock will be encountered in some
places, while in others nothing but mud
and sand will be found.
The estimated cost of the proposed
improvement is as follows:
Section A, 674,745 cubic yards
of mud and sand, at 30c. ;. s 202, 1923 so
Section b, zoos cubic yards
of mud and sand. at 30c... 299, 702 40
Section C:

portion of section c, as indicated,
consists of submerged land, belonging
to the Dowsett Company, Limited. The
enlargement of the harbor at this
point is recommended, subject to the
condition that this land be obtained
without cost to the United States.
In order to execute this work econo-
| mically it is desirable that American
dredging companies should compete
with the Hawaiian companies, and 1t
is therefore urgently recommended that
in event of Improvement a contract for
the entire work be authorized The
necessary competition can not be hoped
for unless this is done.

THE WAR ON TRUSTS.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-The first step
leading to possible indictment of
members of the alleged beef trust"
was taken here Tuesday. A special
federal grand jury venire was ordered
drawn and deputy United States mar
shals were sent out with subpoenas
for members of the alleged trust In
dictments will be sought on charges of

Gently sustained by the United States

PEACE TALK is AGAIN HEARD
The Czar Is Reported to be Willing to
Abandon the War Party.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-Even in
the midst of his grief over the death
of Grand Duke Sergius, evidence eX-
lists that Emperor Nicholas is giving
his attention to political develop
ments, but reports as to his intentions
are conflicting. Indications point to-
wards decision to revive the zemsky
sobor, and some rumors even give the
date when the proclamation convening
that body will be issued.
These rumors, however, probably
are premature, but there is little doubt
that the emperors decision will be
favorable, although it is understood
that the court party is still fighting
desperately for time, maintaining that
it would be an irreparable blunder to
yield in the face of terrorism, even If
1t should be advisable later on.
Some reports declare that Emperor
Nicholas not only has decided to con-
woke representative body but that
he also is bent on making peace. He
is represented to have taken this de-
cision chiefly on the advice of EN-
peror William. The conditions of
peace which Russia can accept are
freely discussed here. The only OBJ
stacle to peace is said to be the ques-
tion of indemnity, which Russia will
refuse to pay.
While peace reports are circulating,
Gen. Kuropatkin is preparing to try
final conclusions with Field Marshal
Oyama and a decisive battle may
be expected within a fortnight.
Capt. William B. Judson, U. s. A.,
and other foreign military attaches
have been asked to leave Vladivostok.
1t is probable that this action is in an
ticipation that operations will begin
there as soon as spring opens.

Forty MangIed Corpses Have Been
Taken from the Vir-
ginia Mine.
PROBABLY 100 MEN PERlsHED
One Hundred Families and 800 Chill
dren are Left Destitute Because
of the caIamity-Bodies of
Victims Twisted, Bruised
and Discolored.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.-Thirty-
nine blackened, bruised and twisted
human bodies had been recovered
from the Virginia mines at late hour
last night and laid out for identifica-
tion by heart broken mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts.
1t is now stated positively that 160
men were in the mine at the time of
the dust" explosion and not the
slightest hope is held out that one of
them will live to tell of the disaster.
Scenes at the entrance to the mines
have been gruesome and heartrending
in the extreme. AS heroic workmen
would bring discolored and mangled
human forms to the opening, women
and children with a mingled express
sion of anxiety, fear and hope de-
picted on their faces, would crowd up,
longing to find living father hus-
band, brother or sweetheart. Utter
despair would be written on their fea-
lures after looking and examining, for
so blackened and torn are most of the
bodies that positive Identification has
been possible in but few instances.
One hundred families and 800 chill
dren are left destitute by the calamity.
One OF the most gruesome sights
witnessed was a mans head being
carried out of the mine in a dinner
basket. 1t was found in this position
and the flesh was almost entirely
burned away from the skull. Legs,
arms and mangled trunks were
brought out in succession.
