American shipbulIdsrs Favored.


ST. Petersburg, March 23.-The pros
poets of American shipbuilders having
a large share in the rebuilding and ell
largement of the Russian navy are
growing brighter. An extensive naval
program, which in few years will re-
store Russia to an equality with the
6rst class sea powers, has practically
been completed, bat has not yet re-
ceived the final assent Of Emperor
Nicholas. The policy Of the admiralty
will be to use the rebuilding of the
navy for the development Of the ship
building industry at home, in order to
render the country Independent Of for
eign construction in future; and for
this purpose the construction Of yards
in Russian waters by foreign builders
will be encouraged The admiralty Is
inclined to show special consideration
to the claims of Russia's French allies;
but American propositions also are re-
garded with favor. and when the or
ders are distributed. America, next to
France, is likely to get the largest
share. since there is reason to believe
that American enterprise may also I'M
dertake the construction Of q great
shipbuilding plant at some port Of the
Baltic or on the Gulf Of Finland.

WILLING TO PAY THEIR DEBTS

President Morales Sees Ruin Of ccun'
try With Every Port In Hands Of
Different Foreign Nation, and Says
Monroe Doctrine Will Be NuIIified.
San Domingo Republic OF Santo Do
mingo, March 23.-The news OF the
postponement by the United States
senate of action on the treaty with
Santo Domingo makes the situation
here acute. and an internal uprising
seems to be imminent, based on the
cry that President Morales has been
discredited in the United States.
President Morales states that he is
prepared to put down any revolution,
but that q more serious matter In his
mind is foreign complications growing
out OF Belgium's demand presented on
March 81. Belgium wants the customs
receipts of a port of Santo Domingo 10
the extent Of $25,S33 a month, accord
ing to a former agreement, on whlcn
no payment has been made for three
years. This first demand Is construed
as a direct result of the failure OF the
treaty between the United States ana
SantO Domingo President. Morales an
ticipates similar demands by other
foreign powers, which he will be help
less to resist. He says he wants to pay
all the republics debts, but sees the
ruin of the country with every port In
the hands of different foreign power
and no revenue for the government
While he sees no light ahead, he has
blind faith that right will triumph"

meeting being conducted by an evan
gelist who has already made a reputa-
tion in evangelistic work, he being as
sisted by an evangelistic singer, most
carefully selected.
The great chorus choir which such
men can lead with remarkable sue

and will be here.
In this city the seventh and eighth
districts have consolidated and there
will be seven simultaneous meetings,
which will open next Friday evening,
Janary 81, in the churches previously
announced in this paper, they having
been selected as centers for the district
in which they are located.
Fred Butler is a basso soloist Of
much renown, having made his reputa

give up this highly profitable employ

with DR.. Chapman, and his singing has
been one of the most attractive feat

TOUCHES INCANDESCENT
LIGHT; SHOCKED TO DEATH

Maurice M. Frieze, shipping clerk
of the Eastern Quitting company,
was almost instantly killed by cleo
tricity early yesterday morning, In the
basement of the company's warehouse,
Also and vignes street.
Frieze, who lives with his parents
on Boyd street. went to work early
Saturday morning and started a large
shipment of furniture out of the ware
house He was then called to the tel
ephone and talked with the manager
of the company who told him to Sc
lect a certain article of furniture for
shipping.
Frieze started for the basement in
order to select the piece of furniture
and when he did not return some min
utes later one of the employees went to
the basement to look for him.
He was found directly beneath an
incandescent light which he had turned
on at the moment of receiving the
shock of electricity. He was breathing
and he was hurried to the receiving
hospital but died on the way.
An investigation was Immediately
made and the wires were examined. A
lineman starting to climb one of the
posts to which the wire was attached
was nearly shocked from the pole by
the heavy current, which was supposed
to have occurred through the sagging
of telephone wire across the light
incandescent wire.
1t is thought Frieze attempted to
find the lever of the lamp in the dark
ness of the basement and his hand
came in contact with either the wire
or some portion of the brass lamp. on
the left hand of the deceased two small
burns, one on the thumb and one on
the forefnger, indicated the spot where
the current entered the body.
A clerk from the warehouse ac-l
companied the body to the hospita
and witnessed the death of his friend
in the ambulance.
Frieze was 25 years of age and un-
married. An inquest will be held over
his body by Coroner Trout tomorrow,
but no one is held responsible for the
death.

dressed. of delicate features and bear
ing every mark of refinement, was
found in a gum grove yesterday after
noon, one block south of the eastern

had been removed. The body was

face and mouth while small bottle
with a few drops of the fluid was found

Southern California as well as the east.
He is now holding a series of success

considered spirited Christian and
clear expounder of the Scriptures and
while speaking plainly wins the re-

]. Wilbur Chapman was born in
Richmond, Ind. in 1859. He studied at
Oberlin college and graduated later at
Lake Forest university with the class
of '79, finishing with a course in the

success.

the First Reformed In five years this
old formal church was transformed
into an aggressive evangelistic body
and 500 people were brought out of the
world into its fellowship.
His reputation as a successful evan
gelist spread abroad and resulted in
his being called to special evangelistic
work outside of his church. In 1889 he
was urged to become the pastor of
Bethany church of Philadelphia, of
which John Wanamaker is one of the
elders. Believing this a better field
for evangelistic work, he severed con-
nection with the Albany church and
entered upon the duties at Bethany.
A result of three years of service there
was a remarkable ingathering of
souls, the church adding about 100 in
that period of time.

To
A HUSBAND
Why Comprido Wants
Separation From
His Wife.

Now and then, in the local divorce
courts, the long chapter of cases of
cruelty of husbands to wives is varied
by a case where the weaker vessel is
charged with making life a burden to
the man into partnership in whose joys
and SORROWS she voluntarily entered.
The Camprido case now pending
seems to be a specimen of this excep-
tional class.
Judge De Bolt yesterday partly
heard the suit for separation of Fred
rico Freitas Comprido against Maria
Rodrigues Comprido. S. F. Chilling
worth appeared for plaintiff and Leon
NJ. Straus for defendant. A score or
thereabouts of the Portuguese colony
were in attendance as witnesses, not
counting babies. The court continued
the hearing, all witnesses being ordered
to return, until 10 clock this morning
for the purpose of settling the matter
of custody of three minor children, the
separation being as good as granted.
Mr.. Chillingworth had mentioned
that a decree of separation would
leave way for reunion if reconeilia-
ton between the parties might happily
take place in the future.
The parties were married by Father
Clement on August z, 1897. For cause
of separation the husband alleges a
course of ill-treatment of him by his
wife for two years prior to the bring
ing of the suit. He says he is a baker
working long hours and having definite
and limited times for his meals, but
his wife had Systematically neglected
to prepare his meals for him in due
season and, "instead of SO acting as
good wife she has been in the habit of
gadding around among her friends and
acquaintances.' On numerous occa-
sions, when remoli strated with for
neglect of her home, she nad shown
violent temper and used improper Ian
guage toward complainant.
It is also alleged that she had been
in the habit of visiting at a certain
place in Honolulu, F'much to the chag
rim, annoyance and worry of plaintiff, -
as he "'did not think that the people
there residing were fit and proper as
sociates for his wife, and such visits
were extremely Objectionable to him.
Yet, when he frequently demonstrated
with her for such errancy only ebulli-
lions of temper on her part resulted.
On June IL, 1905, when he remon-
strated with her for her actions and
begged her to stay at home with their
children, she abused him ia violent and
improper language and said to him
that the people she was visiting were
better people than he, and she would go
where she liked and stay as long as
she liked. The same day she deserted

KAHUNA CHARGES
AVAILED NOTHING

Kahanu Pinao did not make good her
charges of undue influence and fraud
in her suit against Mikalemi and his
wife to cancel deed. On the con-
trary, it was proved, in the three days
trial, that she had been paid $500 for
the land, by Cecil Brown at his Office
in Merchant street. The case was SUBJ
mitted without argument yesterday af-
ternoon, by Lightfoot for plaintiff and
Robertson for defendant, and Judge
Robinson forthwith made the follow
ing order:
''Ordered, adjroged and decreed
that the bill of complainant in this
suit now before the court be and the
same is hereby dismissed, at the com
plainant's cost, respondents to have
and recover judgment ag; inst the com
plainant for their costs herein.''
Several witnesses had testified in
confederation of complainant's asser-
tion of Kahunu practices against Mrs.
Mikalenli, but if true the facts APP
parently did not bear materially upon
the merits of the case.
