ROAD BUILDING
IN kauai COUNTY
Six Miles of MaCadam to Be
Constructed This
Year.

LIHUE, August 24-The county of
Kauai expects to build about six miles
of macadamized road during the pres
ent year. The contract for the road
from the landing at Nawiliwili to the
northwards, which had been awarded
to John Wilson, was, on his bankrupt
cy, taken over by the county, his
bondsmen being held responsible. The
work is actually being done at a lower
rate than his bid, so that the bonds
men. whom it was thought at first
would be heavy losers, viii not suffer
any loss at all. The work is being
done under the direction of Road Su-
pervisor Morainey.
1t is probable that the excessive
floods that have occurred in several
parts of Kauai will be responsible for
cutting down the amount of road work
that can be done, as several bridges
have been destroyed or damaged and
viii have to be replaced or repaired.
This it is expected will take from four
to five thousand dollars.
Kauai is thoroughly satisfied with
the way county government is work
ing out. In public improvements more
has been accomplished and more sat
isfactorily than under the old system.

WOULD SEND
LEPERS HOME
Japanese Agitating to Send
Their Lepers to Japan and
Not to M0l0kai.

To save the japanese 1epers from
having to so to the settlement of Mo-
lokai and to bring away those that
are already there, the Japanese of
Honolulu are at work on a scheme
whereby to obtain the consent OF the
Territorial health authorities to send
ing all the japanese unfortunates
back to their native land. Those most
active in this matter are DIR. Mita-
mura and Mr.. Ishii, local druggist.
1t is only within the last few months
that the Japanese government has be-
gun to segregate the lepers of Japan,
but already three large central isola-
tion camps have been established. I'M
der these circumstances it is the sup
position of the local Japanese that
the objections to sending their lepers
back to that country are removed. Tt
is the claim of those most active in
the matter that once it becomes known
among the Japanese that lepers viii
be sent to Japan and not to MoIokai
there will be no further attempts to
tOiAACceA tic RANoN4ANS VI AAi% h147@eN9~
among them and that suspects viii
readily give themselves up to the all
thorities for examination, being inn
pressed with the idea that in Japan
there is some chance of their cure,
something which the Japanese do not
associate with the settlement at Mo-
lokaf. In bringing the matter before
the local Board of Health the Japanese
will agree to establish a fund where
by all the expense Of sending the
lepers to Japan will be met without
cost to the local government.
1t is thought too that there will be |

the part of the japanese government |

UMPIRE DOES UP
CAUST|C ROOTER
Eddie Fernandez Makes Him.
self a Fighting Hero for
the Fans.

Fernandez did better than Hampton
at the Riverside League games yes
/ terday.' He waited till the games were
over and then in his unofficial capa-
7 city he hunted up the obnoxious root
/ er and did him up.
He did it in the presence of ap-
plauding thousands, and was then
caught up bodily by the admiring Riv-
erside League and carried on their
shoulders to his car. Vierra, who
was done UP, washed the blood from
his face at one of the taps on the
Aala Park green swarG, and walked
off unescorted in the other direction.
Vierra, who recently returned from
the Coast after an unsuccessful at
tempt to get his Chinese stunt on the
vaudeville circuit, has made a practise
lately Of making himself conspicuous
at the Riverside games by his crit
1cisms and denunciations of players
and umpire. Yesterday he was espe-
cially Objectionable in his remarks
addessed to Eddie Fernandez, the UNI
pire. Finally Fernandez thought he
was not called on to quietly endure
the remarks addressed to him and told
Vierra that if he didn't keep quiet he
would put him off the grounds. Vier-
ra retorted that it was public park
and that Fernandez could not put him
off.
Nothing further was said at that
time. but when the game was ended,
and Fernandez ceased to be an Off
cial, but resumed his status as a cfti-
zen, he went right up to Vierra, and
without any preliminary parley, let
out right and left at yierra Vierra
defended himself, but he was not a
match for Fernandez, and he suffered
a bad pummelling.
The excitement in the crowd was
intense. The people surged round the
two combatants, but It was over
quickly. The crowd nearly to a man
took sides with Fernandez, and when
he finally desisted from his attentions
10 Nierra. the members of the River
side League or some of them picked
him up on their shoulders and carried
him to King street where he took al
car for home. While they waited for
the car, hundreds gathered round and |
cheered Justify for the fighting umpire. |

Honolulu yesterday received the first
warship of the new era of Pacific naval
history. The protected cruiser Raleigh,
Commander Peters, arrived off port
from Yokohama about the middle of
the forenoon and at 1880 O'Clock she
was alongside the Naval wharf with her
guards out to keep off curious folks who
were anxious to get look at her grace
full lines and warlike aspect. 1t seemed
hard for Honolulu people, who have
been hearing of the coming of vessels
of war for so long a time, to be kept
from the wharf, but such was the case.
The most strict quarantine was OBJ
served in regard to the Raleigh and
last night none of her three hundred
men were allowed even half way up
the long wharf, nor was anybody from

A TREMENDOUS
WORLD PROBLEM
Why White Races Fear Japanese
immigration to Their
Countries.

Public Opinion, London, July 10, 1907:
A tremendous world problem has be-
gun, and is continuing, of which none
can foresee the end. This problem is
being played out in the United States.
in Canada, in Australia. in New Zea-
land and in South Africa. At first
sight it seems merely a question of
color and of racial prejudice. But at
bottom it is more than that-it is an
economic question of the first order.
Ultimately this may prove to be the
most tremendous question upon which
great masses of mankind have ever
been divided" says the Daily Tele-
graph "but an attempt to settle it by
arms, whatever the immediate issue,
would mean sooner or later hundred
years conflict: and not for this gen.
Grafton only, but for many, the worlds
hopes for peace would be sunk deep
er than Prospero dropped his book"
ECONOMIC COMPETITION OF TWO
RACES.
THE real root of the trouble. thinks
the Times, els not in any issue of gen.
eraI policy, but is to be sought in the
friction arising from the economic
competition in the same area of races
differing wholly in habits and stand
ards of living. and disinclined to ANAL
gamate-a competition of whose diff
culties we have already seen something
within the British Empire, and with
which we shall inevitably have TO deal
in the future. OF the difficulty created
by this problem some permanent solu-
ton based on equitable compromise

the trouble that is now creating such !
anxiety to all lovers of peace and civ |

That was trying time, for every
man of the Raleigh expected that there
would be something doing on the NOR
row.
There was talk of war in the States
and in Japan and each country was
denying, automatically, that there was
anything doing, but the boys of the
Raleigh knew different for the very
good reason that their officers knew
that the time was critical and these Off
GERS knew this for the reason that they
were deciphering messages from the
American capital which made ready
every one of the vessels anywhere near
Japan.

order was given to close the gates
opening from the wharf on to the es-
planade. Today the officers and some
of the men may be allowed ashore.
The Raleigh is homeward bound as
any one could have seen by a look at
the long Pennant she few when she was
off the harbor, pennant whose end
ever and anon touched the water
astern.
Homeward boundl" That is the
cry aboard the Raleigh and many of her
crew are men whose time has almost
expired. All will be transferred at
Mare Island to other vessels of the
Navy, for the Raleigh is going out of
commission. She is to undergo exten-
sive repairs and some alterations.

MAY BE CRISIS
IN CHINA S
AFFAIRS
Yuan Shih-Kai Called
to Command the
Army.
(Assoeiated Pres Cablegrams.l

ASSOCIATED Press Cablegrams.)
| PEKING, August a6. - The
Dowager Empress has summoned
Yuan Stih- viceroy of the
province of Cheli, to become the
head of the war department.
She has become alarmed at the
increasing weakness of the inpe-
rial government, and at the Eapid
spread of the anti-Manchu senti-
ment.
Yuan Shill-Kai is considered
one OF the ablest officials of the
Chinese Imperial Government and
one whose fidelity to the throne
is undoubted. He has displayed
much military ability and much
organizing ability. He is about
81 years of age and originally
came from the province Of Human.
He began his career as a military
officer. He was afterwards Min
lister to Korea. He was after
wards Viceroy of Shantung prov
ince and governed with ability.
AS a military man he showed
his ability by organizing what is
undoubtedly the best military
force in China. 1t was his troops
that occupied Pel1ing after the
withdrawal of the allies following
the Boxer outbreak.
Yuan succeeded Ii Hung
Chang as Viceroy OF Cheli in 1901.
He is Ii Hung Chang's natural
successor both in ability and in
fidelity to the Manchu Dynasty,
which probably could not main
tain itself bat for him.
That the Dowager has called
him to that post is evidence of her
recognition Of his fidelity, and
may be a recognition of real dan
ger to her power. Cheli is the
province in which Peking is situ-
ated.

The men are going home after
period of excitement in the Orient
which they viii never forget. Humble
as are the stations of the majority of
those aboard the L. S. S. Raleigh there
are many men among her complement
who can relate startling bits of unpub-
lished history.
With blazing eyes they tell of the
night of July 3 just before the ami
versary of American Independence, at
Chefoo, China, when eight or nine
American men-of-war, including the
cruisers Maryland, West Virginia,
Colorado, Pennsylvania, Chattanooga
and Raleigh, were ready for action at
a moments notice and the officers of
the fleet were aboard the flagship de-
messages from Washington.

LONG STRUGGLE FOR FAME
DEATH DUE TO DISEASE OF THE
LIVER, AGGRAVATED BY CON-
PLicATIoNS.

New London, Conn, Sept. Rich
ard Mansfield, the best known actor
on. the American stage, passed away
yesterday morning at his summer resi-
dence, Seven Oaks, Ocean avenue
Death was directly due to disease Of
the liver, aggravated by complications.
Or. A. H. Allen. a local physician, who
has been in charge since Mr.. Mans
fields arrival here from Saranac Lake.
N. Y, states that death was not entire
ly unexpected, although this fact had
ont been made public. Mr.. Mansfield's
condition had been reported as being
excellent.
There were quite a number of condi-
lions that prevented his getting we'll.
During the great actors last moments
he was lying in a condition Of coma
and did not recognize the loved ones
at his bedside. There we're present at
the time of his death his wife, his
brother Felix, his young son Gibbs and
the physicians and nurses.
Studied in England.
Richard Mansfield was born on the
little island of Heligoland on May "a,
1857. His mother was Nine. Mansfield
Rudersdorf, a famous prima donna,
and it was from her that Mansfield in.
herited his love for the arts. The ac.
tor studied at several schools on the
continent and then went to England to
study art. The young artist made a
precarious living painting pictures
and many times his only meal in those
early days in London was a hot potato
bought from a street peddler.
Il used to hold the potato to warm
my hands," said Mansfield in relating
his experience, land then eat it."
Played Many Parts.
MIR. Mansfield's first work on the
stage was in the Gilbert and Sullivan
comic operas. His dramatic genius
did not manifest itself until chance
gave him the opportunity to play the
part of Baron Chevrial in the Paris
ian Romance" He lifted what at frs,
seemed to be a small eccentric part tc
one of all absorbing interest. The pub
lie and the critics forgot the play tt
talk of Mansfield's great work, ane
from that day he become a leading
actor on the American stage. Among
the moro important of the parts il
which Mansfield distinguished himsel
were: prince Karl CDR. Jekyll an,
Mr.. HYDE" Richard Ill" "Cyrano d,
Bergerac," Ivan the Terrible Hen
ry w." "Shylock" and Beau Brum
mel" The last effort of his genius
was displayed in a remarkable produc
ton of Ibsen's Peer Gynt."

WILL SAVE 100000 A YEAR.
Department of Interior to Undergo
Some Drastic Changes.

SSuiS III NudtiASos
Washington, Sept. IA reform in
the personnel and business methods of
a sweeping and drastic nature will be
put into effect in the department of
the interior within the next six weeks
or two months. 1t will result in a saw
ing to the government of more than
100000 a year. 1t involves numerous
transfers of clerks, the consolidation
of two big bureaus, the moving of one
of the largest bureaus in the depart
ment to the pension Office building, a
uniformity in the pension Office and
land Office blanks used and the storage
of the patent Office models in the pen
sion Office building.
Although there will be, according to
the present plans no dismissals of
clerks or other employees Of the de-
partment, the total number of clerks
employed will be diminished gradually
by allowing unnecessary offices that
become vacant to remain vacant.
The changes will come as a result of
the detailed reports of the government
experts and the outside business ex-
perts named by Secretary of the Int
rior Garfield to investigate every
branch of the department and recon-
mend changes tending to more econo-
my, greater efficiency and greater dis
patch in the performance of business.
