Proper Pronunciation Of Illinois.

In certain sections OF the country
remote from this commonwealth
there IL some agitation concerning
the proper pronunciation of "Illj-
nols." Various newspapers have
discussed the matter gravely in their
columns, and the impression seems
to have gone abroad that in Illinois
Itself the topic Is of vital and perma-
nent interest. The people of Illinois
have been represented as sitting up
late at night arguing the question of
"lllinoy," "Illlnoise." or "Illinwah."
and threatening to submit the mat
ter to Springfield for legislative
action. All OF which would be In
terestlng II true.
The sober facts In the case are
that the common consent OF people
living In this commonwealth the gem
eral principle laid down by Sam
Weller has been adopted. and every
thing depends on "the taste and
fancy of tn. speller." There are
those who say Illinoy and those who
say Illinois. and the Century Die

AMERICAN RULE. PROVED
A BRILLIANT SUCCESS

Dr. H. 3. Blakeslee of the chair Of
history in Clark University gave an
informal talk at the University Club
last evening on the result of his OBJ
servations in the Philippines. Among
his conclusions are that If the United
States should withdraw from the Phil
lppines, the Igorrotes, who occupy the
mountainous region Of northern Luzon,
would become the prey of the exploit
ing proclivities of the true F'ilipinos;
the Moros would wipe out the Filipino
settlements that fringe their islands,
ami revert to inter-triba1 war, and for
the Fnipinos alone could any hope be
entertained, and not too much for
them.
On the whole he considered that
American government in the Philip
pines had been a brilliant success
Mistakes had been made and many
amateurish things done. But there
were many strong men who were de-
voting great talents unselfshly to a
noble purpose.
The establishment of the Philippine
Assembly had proven a most whole
some measure which had already dis
armed most of the criticism Ieveled
against it, It had had a SOLDERING ef-
feet on the Filipino radicals and had
brought out many strong men and
many good qualities among them.

A SPORADIC CASE Of
CHOLERA ON RIVER ST.

Early yesterday afternoon DR.. Mita-
mura discovered a sporadic case of
cholera in a house on River street,
between Kukui and Vineyard streets,
and reported it to the Board of Health.
DR.. Wayson went to examine the pa
tient, a native, and pronounced the
case a typical one. Both physicians
have had much experience with this
disease, Mr.. Mitamura in his own
country and DR.. Wayson here.
President Pinkham of the Board of
Health acted promptly. He quarantine
ed three structures on River street, in
one of which the sick man lay. and
closed the thoroughfare from Kukui
street. The police were instructed TO
prevent bathing in the Nuuanu stream
and in the harbor. Every effort will
be made to. prevent the consumption
of harbor and Nuuanu stream fish. raw
fish and uncool1ed vegetables, such as
lettuce, watercress, radishes. etc.
On hearing the news yesterday the
Advertiser, being in doubt as to wheth-
er the interests of the city would be
best served by frank publication o. by
a policy of silence, asked the president
of the Chamber of Commerce, the
president of the Merchants Association
and the chairman of the Promotion
Committee to confer with the editor.
Accordingly a meeting of Messrs. J.
#. Morgan. George w. Smith, John A.
McCandless and Walter G. Smith was
held at the latter's rooms in the Young
Hotel. After varying opinions had
been expressed mainly in favor of
publicity to the end that everyone in
the city should feel the need of pre-
caution in food and drink. it was de-
cided to leave the question of publicity
to the Board of Health. After some
difficulty President Pinkham. DR.. Way
son and Secretary Charlock were
found. and a general conference was
held in the upper room of the Grill
at which it wasi decided to give the
public the facts in print to head on

OVATION TO TAFT
A SILENT APOLOGY
FOR THE BOYCOTT
Judge Whitley Describes the Awakening of China
and the Status of Americans and the
American Court.

at is manifest to the casual obser-
esver," said Judge L. H. Wilhey of the
United States Court for China, who is
a passenger on the Manchuria, "that
China is waking up and is resolved to
take on Western life. There are four
facts which go to demonstrate this:
First, the abolition of the old examina-
tions in classical learning as the basis
of entrance to, and promotion in, the
public service; second, the universal
desire for western learning; third, the
growth of the spirit of nationality;
fourth. the marked improvement in the
position that women now occupy in
the empire.
THE possibilities of American trade
with China are great and will improve
with the development of the people.
China is rich country lying prin-
cipally in the temperate zone and in
habited by from three to four hundred
million of industrious people, and it
is yet undeve1oped.
''Our position in China in reference
to foreign trade is second or third,
Great Britain taking the lead. By
reason of our traditions and our geo.
graphical and historical relations we
are certainly entitled to a prominent
place in the foreign trade of the coun-
! try Our trade relations with China
have been strained of late years for
a variety of reasons which will not
go into. But happily this state of
things is changed. Two years ago the
reception of Secretary Taft in Canton
was anything but cordial. In october
last he-visited Shanghai and he was
given the greatest ovation ever receiv-
ed by a foreigner at the hands of the
Chinese people. Thirty-two of the
great merchant guilds OF China COM
bined to give him a reception. and this
fact is generally interpreted by all for
eigners in China as a silent apology
for the boycott

striking in appearance, with a face
open and frank, with lines of pleas
antry in it, but also the indications of
firmness and tenacity. He is on his

wise labeled with epithets, What
Judge Whitley did in Shanghai was
bruited around the world. 1t attracted
unusual interest in Hawaii, perhaps,
because some of the things he did af-
fected men who had been well known
here. There can be no doubt that
Judge Wilfley was engaged, at least
a part of the year he has been in
Shanghai, in making history. For a
good many years the Far East has
been the dumping ground for the riff
raft of the whole world. Since the
Spanish war and the Boxer troubles,
America has contributed rather more
than her quota to these colonies in the
Far East. When regular administra-
tion of law became operative in the
Philippines, a good many expelled from
there went to the treaty ports in
China. They were mainly of three
classes: Prostitutes, sharks and sharp
ers and shady lawyers. The three
stood in with one another, and they all
Haunted the claim that they were
Americans. The sharpers were in some
cases gamblers, big or little, establish
ing road houses which were gambling
houses and the resorts of the prostit-
utes. Some of the sharpers fleeced the
Chinese by fraudulent means. some in
small way and some in a large way.
The prostitutes Haunted the claim that
they were Americans, putting the
American flag on their cards, and float
ing it from brothe1s, until everywhere
especially in North China the Amer
lean flag displayed, became the reeog-
nized signal OF a bawdy house, and
american girP' and prostitute be-
came synonymous in colloquia1 speech.
The consular courts were unable to
cope with this state of affairs; partly
because the consuls were not lawyers,
the body of law applicable within their
jurisdictions was vague and incom-
plete; they had other duties to perform,
and the lawyers were able to confuse
and bluff and mislead them, and
thwart the ends of justice by sharp
practise. Besides this, not all of the
consuls in China in the past, accord
ing to Secretary Taft's speech before
the American Association of China in
October. were credit to their country.
This was the state of things which
had impressed Taft, as being the man
high in administrative circles most
familiar with conditions. 1t was this
state of things which Congress, on
the recommendation of the President,
sought to remedy and change when it
passed the act creating the United
States Court in China. And it was
into this state of things that Judge
Whitley came when he went to Shang-

worry this dual life involved. he re-
sorted to the expedient OF permitting
the Druce character to die, and a cof-
fin. now alleged to have been filed
with stones, was actually buried as
containing the body of Druce. One
of the most important witnesses in
support of this claim is a Miss Rob-
inson who claims to have been intro
dueed by Charles Dickens to Druce
and to have been engaged by the lat
ter as a secretary, bruce afterwards
revealing to her that he was the Duke
