JAPAN HAS Her OWN
LABOR TROUBLES NOW

Under the head, 1.-THE irony of
Fate" the Japan Mail, in an issue re-
ceived by the steamer Monteagle,
says:
while Japan is guarding against the
exclusion of her own laborers from
the United States and elsewhere, fate
with it's usual irony has contrived that
she herself should be confronted by a
precisely analogous problem in the
matter Of Chinese labor. We men
toned in a recent issue that large
number of Chinese 1aborers had been
imported into Kyushu for work on
the government railways. their month
ly wage being only ten yen and their
capability conspicuous. This would
suggest that the men were in govern
ment employ, but such is not the case:
they are employed by the contractc-
who has undertaken to build the line.
What will be the official attitude to-
wards this innovation? Everybody
is familiar with imperial ordinance
352. issued in the year 1899, winch
practically vetoes the employment or
fined by the old treaties, unless prev
ious sanction has been obtained from
the governor of the prefecture con-
cerned. 1t appears that no such sane
ton has been obtained from the gov
ernor of Kagoshima, and there viii

The Royal Mail steamship Aorangi
arrived yesterday afternoon from
Vancouver and left last night at Il
O'Clock for the Colonies. She had a full
passenger list. every available accom-
mediation on her being taken and a
number refused passage when she left
the British Columbia port. Twenty
six passengers stopped at this city.
among whom were several well known
here.
As Mr.. and Mrs. F. c. Palmer came
down the gangplank they were greeted
by showers of rice from their friends
in this city who were awaiting them.
Mr.. Palmer, who is well known here,
being with the q. S. Engineer Corps in
its construction work, brought back a
bride, formerly Miss Clarabelle Air
hart, of Seattle. They appeared to be
rather surprised at the reception which
they got at the wharf.
The Aorangi made a fast trip down
from Vancouver, arriving about twelve
hours before she was expected. She
experienced fair weather and moder-
ate winds all the way down. She
brought about twenty tons of miscel-
laneous freight for this city.
Among the passengers on the Ao-
rangi bound for Australia were the
members of two rifle teams. The Aus
tralian rifle team, which is returning
from England, where it won all man
ner of prizes, was one, and the British
rifle team, which is on it's way to
Australia to shoot in the Empire
Match, was the other. The personnel
of the British rifle team is as follows:
Colonel J. Hopton, commandant;
Colonel Cowan, A. j. Comber, Lance
Corporal A. S. Fulton, Quartermaster
J. Fraser, Captain Lloyd, Mr.. Law
renee, Sergeant J. e. Martin, Sergeant
McHaffie, Sergeant H. Ommundsen,
Lieutenant E. L. Parnell, Major Rich
ardson; A. ]. Raven, r. N; III. r.
Robinson, Sergeant T. A. TatloW,
Major Marley and Major Wallingford.
The British team will stop at Bris-
bane, where it will take part in rifle
meeting, and then go on to Sydney,
where the Empire Match, which is the
real object of the trip, will be held
on October rs and 20. This is a new
rife competition, held this year for the
first time, between teams from Great
Britain. Australia and New Zealand
on the first day, matches will be shot
at the distances of 200, 500 and o0o
yards, while on the second day the
teams will shoot at 500, 900 and 1000
yards The British team is making the
trip to Australia to see If it can wrest

PRISONERS FROM EVA
BROUGHT To JAIL

John Lea1, police officer of the EVA
district, was in town yesterday, hav-
ing brought in two prisoners for COM
mitment to jail. One of then was a
Hawaiian, caught with three others
dynamiting fish below Eva. This man,
David Kahiki, was the prime mover
in the illicit style of fishing and was
fined fifty dollars and costs, which he
win work out. The other prisoner was
a Porto Rican, Ramon Roderigues, well
known to the Honolulu police, who two
months ago stabbed one of the newly
arrived Spaniards, the wounded man
having been since in the hospital. lie
win serve three months.
Dfficer Leal states that the police OF
his district are going to have hard
time in carrying out the order OF the
Legislature regarding the duties or
truant officers. There are four schools
in the district, to visit which will take
an officer at least two days out OF
each week, while to hunt up truants
will take the rest of the time. The po-
lice department will be handicapped
through having to undertake this new
duty.

JAPANESE SEIZE
FINE NAVAL BASE
Island at Gate of Philippines
Only so Miles North of
American Line.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-News from
Yokohama that Japanese explorers"
had occupied and hoisted the national
flag over the island of Pratas. near
the Philippines, attracted much at
tention here because by this act has
been added to Japanese territory an
island within 30 miles of the Philip
pines, which would furnish an admir-
able naval base. japanese possessions
are brought almost within the archi-
pelago, because Pratas island is less
than sixty miles north of the twen-
tieth parallel, which was the interna-
tional boundary of the former Spanish
dominions as defined in the treaty of
Paris.
Pratas island, in connection with the
excellent anchorage afforded by Pra-
tas reef, would be very serviceable to
the japanese, should their navy oper-
ate in the water adjacent to the Phil
ippines. The reef, the northeast point.
of which is about eleven miles from
the island, is a. wind barrier of circular
form. inclosing a lagoon with water
of from five to ten fathoms. The reef
is about forty miles in circumference,
and between one and two miles in
breadth. There are two channels lead
ing into the lagoon, one on either side
of Pratas island. There are several
good anchorages in from ten to TWEEN
ty fathoms of water, the position
abreast of the south channel being
well adapted for naval purposes
The War and Navy Department Of
f1cials say that they have no official
information about this new acquisi-
ton of the japanese nation.
Pratas island is composed of sand.
It has been generally visited by Chi
nese fishermen in the early part Of the
year. It is said to be the last island
between the chain running down to
Formosa and beyond the Philippine
Islands.
In no way could the island be Of
value to any one except for naval
purposes. 1t is barren, except for
bushy growth. But as a coaling and
refittfng base it might be Of great
value during a blockade of Manila or
ports on the Chinese coast.

 Well, that tells the whole story, so far as my deductions have progressed. said Mr. Holmes. "rhe eyelashes of the upper lid of his left eye slant toward the left because the spectacle lens over that eye when he Is at work presses them over in that direction.
 "The reason why the lens presses them over is that his right ear stands out further from his lead than his left ear, making the spectacle bow on that side a loose fit and making his spec tacles sit slantwise. The reason Why his right ear wings out further than his left is because he sleeps on his left side. -
 He sleeps on that side because his liver won't let him rest comfortably on the other"

LEADERS DO NOT SAY MUCH

Chicago, December 2s.-(special.) )-What the magnates called an almost peacefHl gathering inaugurated the annual meet ing of the American association magnates at the Auditorium Annex today. The board of directors, composed of represen- tatives of the St. Paul, Kansas City, Co., lumbus, Indianapolis and Milwaukee teams, met as prelude to the gathering today, at which the question of placing a team in Chicago and opening war on organized baseball will be thoroughly threshed out.
 The gathering was marked by the deepest secrecy. The magnates were closeted with President O'Brien of the American association, who declared the purpose of the meeting was to consider his annual report. George Tebeau of the Kansas City team and Mike Cantillon of Minneapolis, however, declared that the scheme of placing team in Chicago had not been abandoned, and that the pro- posed step was the subject of hot dis cussion by the directors.
 The outlaw faction, which consists of the representatives of the Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, Kansas City and Louisville teams, was trying throughout the day to win over the opposition head ed by President Bryce of the Columbus team. Bryce showed no signs of weaken ing, and 1t looks as though the invasion
