WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 29--The
nlans made bv Japan for extending heI
commerce show that the militant spirit
she displayed in the late war will be In
evidence in more peaceful pursuits
Nothing is more remarkable about the
Oriental Yankees than the quickness
with which they grasp Western Ideas
and apply them to their own conditions.
.Japau is situated to the Orient as Eng
land to the Occident and everything
points to her intention to become d
great manufacturing nation, great
commercial nation and great carrying
nation. Colonization and sea power
leading to commercial supremacy seems
TO be her motto. In the course of his
speech on the shipping bill Senator
Gallinger intimated that unless the
mail subsidy TO the American line run
ming from San Francisco to Austra1a
was increased he had it on good author
itv that the service would be sus-
pended
,This line, according to Senator
GaIlinger, not only performs the best
service. but now receives the lowest |
compensation of all lines running to
Australasian ports The service is so
swift and satisfactory that numbers of
Australasfan business men, even when
bound to Europe, are brought en- route
to the United States. Since 1896 our
exports to Australasia have increased
almost $50 per cent, amounting to $27,-
401 900 in 1904, which Senator Gall
niger attributes ''to the extraordinary
efficiency and regularity of the ill-pald
American steamship service out of San
Francisco.
There is an apparently authentic re-
port that Japan is reaching out for the /
Pacific mail steamers and has secured s
an option on them to be exercised un-
less the shipping bill passes. All famil- :
lar with the subject remember how the I
Pacific mail company has been com 8

said that the Pacific mail steamers work e
their ships almost to our ports with
Chinese crews and then bring them IN
with American crews, placing the n

HONOLULU
IS NOT FAIR
According to Complaint
Made by Captain
Connor.

| Fifty per cent. of the harbor an
| channel dredging has been completed
and by June the whole job will be fin
ished with an average depth all aroun,
of thirty-fve feet The work will hav
| consumed eight months time, although
| the contract gives the contractor
| twenty-eight months.
But if the contractors are saving
money by doing this important piece OF
work in so short time, thew certainly
do not feel that it is due to any assist
anee from Honolulu. In fact, Captain
Connor, who represents the San Fran
cisco Bridge Company which secured
the contract from the Federal govern
ment, states very positively that Homo
lulans have apparently placed every OBJ
stacle in the way of successful dredg-
ing that lay in their power
Everybody seems to have taken a
hand in knocking us in one way or an
other" said Captain Connor last even

little hot under the collar lately, and

g am just as strongly of the opinion
now as before that that wire cable
never came from the Pacific, or even
that it had ever been attached to the
Pacific. If anybody wants to go over
to our workshop in the Eva end of the
harbor 1 will show them about ten tons
of wire cables which we have picked
ups on our cutter. They certainly
never belonged to us. Wire cables
strew the bottom of the harbor from
one end to the other. i
cit looks to me as if the Pacific
Mail S. S. Co. is trying to saddle the
blame on us just to make us pay their
dockage fees here for the next two
years.

The main track mileage OF the
United States railways would circle
the earth along the equator eight
and a half times. Their revenue in
1904 $2,000,000,0OO, would paw the
interest bearing debt Of tho United
States twice over and leave a sur
plus which would support the
government of Spain, with its 18,
100000 inhabitantnts for wear.
On the payrolls Of the American
railways there are more men 1,5OO,
600, then there were in the armies
of Apomattox. and six times as many
as were enlisted in the war of 1898
against Spain. The aggregate az
sets of the United States railways.

Interesting Case.

An interesting legal case concern
ing a pardoned murderer is pend
ing before the supreme court of the
state of Washington. A man by the
name of Spencer had been sentenc-
ed to life Imprisonment for the
atrocious murder of girl in
Spokane. Spencer became i'll in
prison, and was supposed to be
dying. He was then pardoned by
the governor, that he might die in
freed )m. But he did not die, and
freedom brought back his health.
The result was that the man began
to hang around the saloons, and
sooner or later would probably
= - y =
commit another crime This was
to the governor, who
promptly revoked the pardon and
ordered the man back to the peni-
THE action was resisted
by Spencer's friends and the case
taken into court. The governor
was upheld, an appeal was then
taken to the supreme court Of the
state, and is now pending. The
theory upon which all pardons
should be granted is that they
hold only during good behavior.
II this principle is not upheld by
the court it should be expressly
stated in every subsequent pardon.

An exchange say:-"A man who
was too economical to subscribe for
his home paper sent his little boy
to borrow the copy taken by his
nelghbor. ln bis haste the boz ran
over four dollar stand of bees,
and In ten minutes locked like a
warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and, failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, breakingit down,
cutting handful OF flesh from his
anatomy and running five dollar
pair of pants. The cow took ad-
vantage Of the gap in the fence and
got into the cornfield and killed
herself eating green corn. Hear
the racket, the wife ran and upset
four gallon churn of rich cream
into basket of kittens, drowing
the whole flock. In her hurry she
dropped a twenty-five dollar set of
false teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled cream
and into parlor, ruinlnga twenty
dollar carpet. During the excite
ment the oldest daughter ran away
with the hired man, the dog broke
up eleven setting hens, and the
calves got out and chewed the tails
off four fine shirts"

Tantal um cuts tantalum. Dia-

worked day and night for three
days on a sheet of pure metallic
tantalum one twentyffth of an inch

BATTLER BOXES
SIX FAST ROUNDS
Crowd Visits Saucer Track to
See Champion in Action
With Local Men.

Boxing exhibitions, as usual things, are
very tame affairs. but Battling Nelson
put enough ginger into his six rounds at
the Salt Palace last evening to make II
interesting. In the last three rounds with
KLEIN Groves as his opponent. the Bat
tier did some rough work and Groves
gameIy withstood some pretty stiff
punches.
The first three rounds were with Terry
Davis, but Davis was far too light to mix
il In the Battlers style Of going, ana
the Groves part of the program, there-
fore, gave the public a better chance 10
see Nelson in action.
Battling is not a snowy boxer, never
was nor never will be, but in this line
he has improved wonderfully since ne
fought Spider Welsh in this city. He ap-
pears 20 have much better control or that
wabbly head and more easily gets 1t out
Of tight places. With the big gloves,
Nelson was able to do some fast inside
work and certainly sent home some stiff
ones IN the neighbcrhood of Groves
breadbasket. AS the gong sounded at the
close a miX-up resulted that resembled
the real goods. The other part of the
boxing exhibition was three rounds be-
tween Willard Bean and Jack Cnristy.
The bicycle end Of the program was a
decided frost. Lawson, Munroe, Hume
and West each went for the mile rec
ords in their respective classes and failed
ny a large margin. Samuelson won over
Heagren in a fiVe-mile motor race by
over a lap and Duck Soup Turville fin
ished several laps behind.
