BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Feb 25.-The contin-
ued prevalence of drouth is causing Sc
rious losses to sugar planters, especi-
ally in the case of young cane. Water
for household purposes is being sold
by the gallon in several districts.
A serious forest fire is raging on the
island of Hawaii, endangering hundreds
of acres. Forest Commissioner Hos
mer left here today for the island on
the revenue cutter Bear with the pur-
pose Of organizing a brigade to fight
the fire.
The weather bureau at Washington
issued report. February s, announc-
ing that the weather in the Hawaiian
Islands had been so abnormally cool
since the first of the year as to retard
the growth of young cane and check
the ripening of pineapples and Veget-
ables. The older cane, however had
been benefited by the dry weather. A
water shortage, the report said. was
seriously interfering with the cane

Sentiment
speoiaI to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-In a report
just made by the Rev. E. l.. Mattox,
missionary in Hangchow, China, to
the Presbyterian board of foreign mis-
'sions, it is stated that anti-foreign
sentiment in China is frequently the
result of the actions of unprincipled
foreigners. A case in point is related
by Mr., Mattox as of very recent oc-
currence.
1t is said that there was organized
in Shaohsing, China, an enterprise
which purported to be a branch of the
Young Mems Christian association of
Shanghai. Entrance and membership
fees were charged and membership
tickets were issued which were alleged
to entitle the holders to the privileges
of any Young Mems Christian associa-
tion in the world. The whole plan was
modelled on the Y. M. C. A. and every
effort made to give the impression
that the Shaohsing organization was a
part of the same movement. About
three hundred men Joined the bogus
association, receipts for membership
fees and dues going into the pockets
of the promoters of the scheme.
The matter came into notice through
the presentation of some of the mem-
bership tickets at the Shanghai Y. M.
c. A., where the holders were greatly
disappointed to find they had been
made the victims of Misrepresentation
The latest information is that one of
the leaders in the bogus association
had been arrested at the instance of
the general secretary of the Shanghai
Y. M. C. A, and the Chinese govern
ment had been asked to close up the
rooms in Shaohsing.
Commenting on the affair." the Rev.
Mr.. MattoX says that when a foreigner
takes a hand III such swindling
scheme more Chinese are made TO
hate and revile the Occidental than
missionaries can bring to a different
point of view in ten years time.

TOOK A STRAW VOTE
Interesting Experiment in a Restaurant

An advertising agent, representing
a, prominent New York magazine,
while on recent western trip was
dining one evening in a Pittsburg
restaurant.
While waiting for his order he
glanced over his newspaper and no.
ticed the advertisement of a we'll
known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, AS he himself
was a regular user of the tablets, he
began speculating as to how many Of
the other travelling men in the dining
room were also friends of the popular
remedy for Indigestion.
He says: II counted twenty-three
men at the tables and in the hotel
office. I took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty-three made a prac-
tice of taking one or two of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
"One of them told me he had suf-
fered so much from stomach trouble
that at one time he had been obliged
to quit the road, but since using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been
entirely free from indigestion but he
continued their use, especially while
travelling, on account of irregularity
in meals and because like all travel
ing men he was often obliged to eat
what he could get and not always
what he wanted.
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate meal with
out taking Stuart Tablet afterward
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear. Of
sleepess night or any other trou-
ble
"Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs,
shortness of breath and distress in
chest, which he no longer experienced
since using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour
stomach and acidity. He had form
erly used common soda to relieve the
trouble, but the tablets were much
better and safer to use"
After smoking, drinking or other
excesses which weaken the digestive
organs, nothing restores the stomach
to a healthy, wholesome condition so
effectually as Stuart's Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives, pepsin, dias-
tase, which every weak stomach lacks,
as well as nux, hydrastin and yellow
parilla, and can be safely relied on as
a radical cure for every form of poor
digestion. Sold by druggists every
where.

certain description had stolen his
wagon, horse and load of other peoples
laundry. Within an hour the mis-

BILL
ADVANCES A STEP
is SENT TO CONFERENCE BUT
OUTLOOK Is POOR
Increased Naval Appropriations and
Imitation Of Eneland's Attitude
Toward Small Powers Sharp
ly Criticised In Senate
Special to The Herald.

Special 10 The Herald.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 95.--The state
hood bill today got into its last legis-
lative state. 1t was sent to conference
from the senate, where 1t had been held
up for week by senators who are de-
termlned that it shall never go to the
president for his signature except i'm
substantially the form in which it
passed the senate two weeks ago, or
else that all reference to New Mexico
and Arizona shall be struck out. The
conferees appointed on the part of the
senate were Beveridge, Nelson and
Bate, thus giving a majority favorable
to two-state bill.
The late date, however, in the ses-
sion at which the bill goes to confer
ence will make it possible for the sena-
tors who are opposed to two-state
bill to prevent, by quiet ilibustering.
the acceptance of a report from the
conferees not in accordance with their
views. 1t was to bring about this sit
uation that the bill was held in the
senate before it was allowed to go to
conference.
Where the House Conferees Stand
The house conferees are as fully de-
termined as any other factor in the
fight to get the bill into the shape they
prefer or else see to it that it never
goes to the president. They are sus-
plcious even of the house itself They
think a job has been put up in the
house with the opponents of a two
state bill in the senate to accept the
senate bill If an opportunity is afford
ed by a report from the conference
committee to the senate. 1t is said
the house conferees, to defeat any
scheme of this kind, will not report to
their body unless, by the yielding of
the senate conferees, they can report
the acceptance of the house bill. No
report of a disagreement will be made
to the house, because If that were done
the house conferees fear motion
would be made and carried in the house
instructing them to agree to the senate
bill.
The house conferees are determined
that the outcome of the contest shall
be bill making two states out of the
four territories or no bill at ALL They
say that If the latter is the outcome the
house territories committee at next
session of congress will bring into the
house substantially the same bill as the
old one and that it will be passed by
the house as before.
With this feeling prevailing in the
two houses it can be seen that the
chances for Legislation are decidedly
poor.

GERMAN SOCIALIST
OPPOSES FLEET

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-In the Reichstay
today during the discussion of the naval
appropriations Herr Bebel, the Social
list leader, said that IL Germany ac-
cepted the naval leagues guidance she
would, it was estimated, spend $7S1,
250.000 on additions to the fleet.
Germany, he added, should aim at the
future of her own people and the ameli-
oration of social conditions rather than
waste the proceeds of labor on useless
armaments.
Against whom are these immense
naval preparations directed?'' asked
Herr Bebel. England? We can never
compete with England on the sea. We
have not the money nor is such riv-
airy essential to our security. Sea
not to u.s.
France? The superiority of our land
forces is a sufficient guarantee of our
safety. Russia? She will require de-
cades TO recuperate. North America :?
War with her is unthinkable"
Herr Bebel affirmed that the inordi-
nate increase of the fleet, as the naval
league demanded, would be useless as
respects policy, and beyond Germany's
means as respects finance, but that the
price of it would be cut from the work
ingman's skin.
Admiral Won Tirpitz, secretary of the
admiral, replying briefly, said that a
navy. strong in proportions to the ma
tion's strength, was an essential part
of the latter's development.
