PoRTUGAL's CRISIS

TOR a long time evidences of parlous
times in the kingdom of Portugal
have been accommodating. Politics
has been at fever heat. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that news kilograms have
been rigidly censored the correspond
ents have been active, and through the
medium of the mails have kept the
world pretty well informed as to the
progress of the popular uprising against
King Carlos.
There is little doubt that the kingdom
is on the verge of the long=threatened
upheaval Ever since Carlos assembled
the throne in 1889 there has been serious
friction between the republican and
absolutist parties. 1t will be recalled
that within month or so after the be-
ginning of his reign the Brazilians gave
to their emperor, Dom Pedro, per-
naanent ticket of leave, establishing
through bloodless revolution, re-
publican form of government. Since
this time the republican tendencies of
the people of Portugal have been fos-
tered by enlightened men, and the spirit
of discomfort with the prevailing order
of things has broadened until now, IL
appears, the Portuguese are ready for
open revolt,
Carlos and his cabinet have reeog-
nized the tendency of the times in that
country by endeavoring to compromise
with the dissatisfied elements rather
than TO exercise the full powers of the
crown. The cabinet officials have been
made the target for repeated and seri-
Gus accusations of fragrant misgovern-
ment. Graft in it's most reprehensible
form has been openly charged. The
government leaders appear to have
failed in their efforts to satisfy the peo-
pie that the funds raised for the main
tenance of authority have not been
grossly misappropriated. Today the
a small degree but on gigantic scale,
for Portugal-has 'preeipitated crisis
which, judging by the history of similar
crisis in the affairs of monarchies, is
bound eventually to result in change
in the form of government.
When Carlos is compelled by an over
whelming public sentiment to ahdicate,
a republican form of government will
be installed. OF this there is little
doubt. That it will be modelled more or
less closely on the lines followed in the
United States is probable, because in
this country, particularly on the Pacific
coast and in Illinois and one or twa
other states, are large colonies of Por-
tuguese who, keeping closely IN touch
with their friends in the fatherland.
have helped to educate the latter in
the belief that the American republic
is the correct model to be followed
when the reform comes.

THE UNITED STATES
A SHRINKING NATION
How the Railroads of This Country
Have Been Annihilatins
Time and Dis
tanoe

A curious little game of figures and
time tables has been played recently by
French statisticians of the department of
public works to show how France has
been shrinking, in effect, year by year
since 1914. The conclusion is that under
present facilities of travel the France of
today, as against that of almost a cen-
tury ago, Is of about the size of the de-
partment of Seine-andOise, the depart
ment including Paris and measuring per-
haps sixty-five miles by forty.
AS applied to France, this is a COM
paratiye.y simple gamesof hours, minutes
anu miles. With the United States as the
territorial subject of the play one may
be dazed by the variety and amazing
character of the results. Nor is it rec
essary to go so far back for compari-
sons as to those ante-railroad days when
II took more time to cross half the con-
tinent than a modern traveller devotes to
personally conducted tour Of the Old
World.
In 1857 Buffalo was fifteen hours from
New York. Chicago Is now but eighteen
hours away, where fifty years ago it was
thirty-five. The Twentieth Century Flyer
now makes Buffalo In about eight hours.
So in half century the Empire state has
lost half its size Almost and the hustling
Cook county metropolis has been drawn
very close to the 1857 borders of this COM
monwealth. That Is one way of playing
this figurative game Of shrinkage.
New Orleans in 1886 was twelve days
and half from New York, If one tray-
eled north, or thirteen days eight hours
IL one travelled south. 1t is now but
thirty-two hours away. Within the time
of the old trip one may come from the
| Crescent city to Manhattan, sail to Eng
| land In the Lusitania and have several
| fine DAYS in London.
Not so many years ago San Francisco
was a solid week from New York. To-
day it is ninety-six hours away, and the
railroads propose to cut thirty hours
from that distance. At fifty miles an
hour this contemplated further shrinkage
would represent 1900 miles, which would
bring the Golden Gate a little south of
the present location of Des Moines. 1t
may well alarm Mr.. Bryan to think how
closely and permanently this would bring
his beloved Lincoln, Neb., into touch
with "the enemy's country. ."--New York

PRINCE ARRIVES
Continued from PAGE II

Major tIigaki, a military attache
said that while Prince Fushimi was a
gunjru (warrior) his mission to Eng.
land was of a different nature, and he
could therefore say nothing about the
San Francisco question.
Major Takeuchi military attache
at Washington, who was especially or
dered to accompany the Prince from
Quebec, spoke in part as follows:
Il am still military attache at
the Washington Embassy, but receiv-
ed an Imperial order to proceed to
Quebec to meet the Prince. AS far as
know, Prince Fushimi is of the opin.
ion that the feeling between the
United States and japanese Govern.
ments is of the friendliest. Prince
Fushimi has nothing to do with the
San Francisco and immigration ques
lions. His mission to England was of
"a special nature. and while there he
was royalty entertained by the King
OF course, when Prince Fushimi ar
rived in Canada the British warship
Monmouth, by order of King Edward,
was in readiness to convey him back
to Japan. The Prince did not know
that he was coming around this way
until he boarded the ship. The Mon
mouth took this course to get coal.
The mere disposal of the warship Mon
mouth to Prince Fushimi indicates
clearly that England and Japan are
on the best terms of friendship"
Prince Fushimi has the highest re-
gard for the treatment of his party
by the Monmouth's captain and Off
GERS during the voyage, which was
very pleasant throughout.
"How about the San Francisco trout
ble?' asked the reporter of Major
1akeuchi.
ri have nothing to say about it,"
said the Major.
you were in Washington as a mil
itary attache when the trouble arose,
were you not?" continued the reporter.
Yes" said the Major, Ambassador
Aoki left for San Francisco some time
ago, and / think by this time he is at
San Francisco looking into it. Count
Aoki had had interviews with the
President of the United States, but |
am not in position to say anything
about them
Consul Saito when interviewed, said
that the Prince will take his lunch at
the new Japanese. Consulate, and in
the afternoon, if agreeable, he will be
taken to the Bishop Museum and pro
tably to the Aquarium.

PRINCE FUSHIMIS VISIT.

The visit of Prince Fushimi to Ha-
vail on his return from a special mis-.
sion to the open ally of his country
may be accepted as a special mark of
friendship to our country which has
been hardly less closely allied than
Great Britain with the progress of ia.
pan.
The visit is unexpected but espe-
cially pleasing to the people of this
Territory, as it was Hawaii that first
greeted Prince Fushimi on his trip to
the United States, three years ago.
1t is gratifying that this Territory
as the border-state between two ma.
tons has not failed in its duty of pro.
noting friendship without sacrifice of
self-respect or National pride Not
only are the official representatives
treated with the consideration due
their station, but it is possible here in
Hawaii for the citizens of Japan and
America to live on practical terms OF
social and commercial equality. The
Eoodlum element, which has done
niuch to disgrace the good name of
both nations, does not and will not
prevail here.
( Prince Fushimi well says that he
has been treated with great respect
wherever he has travelled among the
American people. This may be said
with truth by every Japanese official
and citizen, with the single exception
of very few who have encountered
an undesirable element in the city of
San Francisco.
1t is to be assumed that Prince Flu
shimi visits Hawaii to strengthen the
bond of good feeling that always has
and always should prevail between
Japan and the United States.

glimpse Of the ship as she came into
port. ~ 4FA t ..r.s
AT 8 a. m. the Island steamer j.. A
Cummins, which had been chartered
for the occasion, pulled out from the
Fort street dock gaily decked out
with japanese flags and with the Eng.
fish Jack flying at the forepeak. On
board was the committee on general
arrangements, also representatives
from the Bulletin, Jayu Shimbnn,

The Cummins pulled up quite close
to the war vessel on the port side and
those on board saluted the Prince,
who was very generous in returning
the greetings. Immediately after the
vessel came to a standstill she fired
thirteen guns in honor of the rank of
Prince Fushimi.
The harbor boat Pioneer also went
out to greet the Prince. She was

Everything Japanese in the line of
boats was prettily decorated with Jap
anese colors. The launch Brothers al
SO attended the reception outside the
harbor. She had large barge loaded
with Japanese in tow. AS the ship APP
preached the wharf cheer after cheer
filled the air. Many hundreds had
gathered about the wharves adjacent
to the Naval dock. An immense con-
course of people lined both sides of
the street leading from the Naval dock
up into the city, and as the Prince
passed through he was most heartily
cheered by all present
The Prince, accompanied by S. Ma

The ceremony was simple and the
Prince expressed the greatest pleasure
in meeting his countrymen in Hawaii.
1t has been three years since Prince
Fushimi was last here, but his APP
nearance indicates that time has dealt
gently with him. He went direct to
the Young Hotel, where sumptuous
apartments have been engaged for him
| and his suite.
The program for the day, as given
out by the committee, consists of a
dinner at the Japanese Consulate a
little after the noon-hour. During the
evening there will be a monster Ian
tern parade of the Japanese residents
of the city and the Prince will review
the parade from the Young Hotel.

can be consulted on the matter. I
