AMERICA MARU'S
QUICK RECORD
OFF PORT AT DAYLIGHT TODAY
THOUGH EXPECTED TOMOR-

Off port before the expiration of the
required seven days quarantine, but
not subjected to the full force of the
regulations against San Francisco
where a little plague abides, the Togo
Kisen Kaisha S. S. America Maru was
allowed to enter the harbor and dock
at the Hackfeld wharf about $3.50
o'clock this morning, but was obliged
to keep the yellow flag flying at her
fore and none but cabin passengers
were allowed ashore, as per recent ca
bled orders from Washington, while
no persons from ashore except those
necessary, were permitted to board
her.
The America Maru was off port at
$3.50 o'clock this morning She was
detained outside by the doctors for
couple of hours while the passengers
and crew were subjected to a careful
examination. 1t was at first reported
that she would not come in, but, later.
she slid her yacht-like figure through
the channel and sought her usual
berth. She sails at 5 o'clock this af-
ternoon for the Orient.
Sailing from San Francisco at l
o'clock in the afternoon Of Wednesday
last, October 2, she enjoyed very
pleasant trip down, passing the Sler-
ra and Manchuria and the Logan, the
latter last night. She brought FIVE
stop-overs for Honolulu and carries a
fair list through. In the storage was
us Asiatics.

1900 JAPANESE
CROSSED BORDER
THE OFFICIAL FIGURES ON MOVE
MENTs OF ORIENTALs LANDED
AT VANCOUVER.

VANCOUVER (B. O., October l.
Official figures obtained today disclose
the surprising information that the
5000 Japanese who have recently ar
rived in Vancouver, 1900 have got
across the boundary line to Seattle,
Portland and San Francisco. These in
clude 1000 who came FIR omhonolulu
and who could not enter the United
States direct.
Consul General Nosse went a step
further today in an Interview in OF
tawa, disclaiming altogether the ex-
istence of an agreement by Japan to
limit emigration to Canada. lie says
this agreement was made prior to the
treaty of 1899 and this treaty took the
place Of the agreement. He insisted
that there was now in existence no pos
sible reasonh from a diplomatic stand
point, that would prevent half the
population of Japan coming to Van
couver, if the Mikados goernment felt
like allowing that.
The Dominion Government today
definitely decided to send a special
commissioned to Toxic to present argu-
ments against allowing any more Jap
anese to come to British Columbia.
There is nothing in the present treaty
between Japan and Canada that re-
quires the production of any passport
whatever from a Japanese.
Consul-GeneTal Nosse today pre-
sented to the Dominion Cabinet a claim
for $4,000 damages for broken glass in
Vancouver. The government decided
to pay this Immediately. The city of
Vancouver will be asked to make good
the amount.

own expense, subject to the approval
of the committee; the public to be al
lowed to see the lepers when they ar
rive, the history of each case and a
photograph of each patient to be pub
lished officially in the newspapers from
time to time; the opinion Of the COM
mittee that any of the lepers have
been cured to be final, and such per-
sons not to be returned to Molokai.
The committee, / understand, are to
form their opinions from outward APP
pearances, with expert or bacteriologi-
cal tests.
IAN will agree that the discovery OF
cure for leprosy would be one or the
greatest boons that could come to these
| islands. Many believe that Mr.. Wal
ZACH has such a cure; many believe
that he is an imposter or self-deceived;
many feel that he should be given an
opportunity to show what he can do
some because they believe in him, some
because they think it would please
/
they think it would be the best way
to prove him an imposter; the Legis-
lature at its last session passed a
concurrent resolution requesting the
Board of Health to give him permits
sion to treat lepers.
"The board is, of course, under the
law the appropriate body to act in a
matter of this kind and I might well
refer the petition to that body with or
without suggestions on my part, but
under the circumstances I deem it best
to reply directly, because, if for no
other reason, the request is of such an
extreme nature that could not recon-
mend it mystelf and | do not see how
the board could grant it as a matter
of policy, even if it could under the
law.
mot only should the law be OBJ
served, but the board should act with
due caution and sound reason for the
best interests of the public, the lepers
and even Mr.. Wallach himself, if his
claims are well-founded. He claims
to have cured in this city 200 persons,
some of whom at least, he asserts,
were lepers. He is unwilling to fur
nish proof Of these facts in a way
that can reasonably be deemed salts
factory, but processes to desire an OPP
portunity to demonstrate his power by
the treatment of new cases under the
conditions mentioned If such an OPP
portunity ought to be given him with
out further proof of what he claims
to have accomplished already, 1t should
be under proper safeguards and reason
able conditions. Whether any arrange
ment could be made that would be
satisfactory both to the Board and to
Mr.. wallach, it is unnecessary for me
to consider at the present time,
Respectfully yours,
"W. F. FREAR,
Governor"

Ever since the rooms at Haleiwa

have been more comfortable during
the sleeping hours. On the yerandas
it is pleasant all of the time because

OVER TWO MILLIONS
CONTINUED from Page -

either the secretary, treasurer or man
aging agent of each of the companies
involved be summoned. The motive
of the indictments is for the collecting
of fines for violation of the interstate
commerce law. The penalty on each
count is not less than $1,000 and not to
exceed $4,000.
At these figures should the defend
ants be found guilty as charged and
fined the full extent of the law, the
fine Of the Southern Pacific would be
$4,000 900 and of the Pacific Mail, $780,
000 but as the indictments are for
one offense, it is not probable that
guilt could be established on them all.
The large shipment of mating which
has involved the two corporations in
this difficulty with the government was
made on September II, 1904. On that
date the cargo left Kobe on the steam
ship Mongolia, arriving at the port of
San Francisco on October 4, 1904. The
importers of the cargo were James
Wild & Co., Taylor, Cooper e Co. and
Smith-Baker Company, all Of which
are Eastern firms. The larger portion
of the cargo went through San Fran
cisco to destination without stopping
here. The cargo was divided into lots
OF these four lots were stored in San
Francisco, and consignees in every
part of the country reached by the
trade of the importers were supplied
with parcels, shipped by order of the
importers. In this way the 100 counts
in the two indictments against the
Southern Pacific were found, each par
eel shipped to consignee calling for a
separate count.
The interstate commerce law requires
that rate of SIP a hundred be
charged for shipment of mating from
Kobe to Chicago, and the two com
panies under indictment made the
three importers a special rate of 81 {
hundred.
The government considers that it has
a good case, and one that will test the
bounds and strength of the interstate
commerce law; whereas the law de
partment of the Southern Pacific ap
pears not to attach much concern o.
Importance to the indictments. Al at
torney for the company said that i
would not be necessary for any of the
high officials of the Southern Paciht
to be in court; that the case would
soon come off and that it would no
amount to much. The recent examina
ton of r. H. Hartman in a New Yorf
court on a similar subject seems t.
have no bearing upon the case unfoldeC
in the indictments found yesterday.

To Test Western Goals.

Denver.-Right In the heart of Den
yer. but SO quietly has the work pro
gressed 1t has just been made public,
the United States government has con-
structed an extensive plant for the pur-
pose of testing western fuels and of de-
termining the best methods of improv.
Ing the coke made from western coal,
and also the improvement of washed
coal. The work will be in charge of
government experts and is ready for
operation. The work will be along the
same lines as the plant in ST. Louis,
which has done much for improving
the working knowledge regarding coal
and coke outputs to the Mississippi
valley.
That such a plant in Denver will be
Of great benefit to coke manufacturers
throughout the West can be seen
plainly. The benefit to manufacturers
will consist In reports on the results of
experiments regarding the consump-
ton of coal. its merits for cooking pur-
poses, its steaming qualities and the
general economy of coal consumption.
The Denver plant is composed OF a
coking section, washery section and
chemical laboratory, under the direct
supervision of A. w. Belden as engi-
neer in charge.
The coling section, consisting of two
standard beehive ovens, is under the
direction of the engineers in charge,
assisted by w. E. Vickers. The wash
cry section is under the direction of G..
r. Delamater, assisted by II. r. Gard
ner and c. r. Adams. The chemical
laboratory is under the supervision of
Prof. N. w. Lord, chief chemist, with
G. A. Burrell, assistant chemist, in
charge.
The coke ovens have been equipped
with standard seven-ton larry for use
in charging the ovens.

Being strong young man has its
disadvantages in Turkey Elsewhere,
military service is seldom obligatory
in times of peace for more than three
years, whereas in the sultan's realm 1t
is no unusual thing for a soldier to be
kept In the army for seven years. But
the young Turk seems to be wonder
fully patient. A German correspondent
at Salonica had occasion the other day
to observe a number of military men
at railway station. They had been
discharged and had taken their seats
In the train. when, shortly before 1t
was to leave, a message came from
Headquarters stating that the mazbada
regarding their return had not arrived
and that there was no money anyway
to pay for their passage. Without a
word of complaint the troops left the
train and went into camp, where they
had to wait several weeks before they
were finally sent home. There have,
however. been signs of disaffection Of
late, and the minister of war has pro-
claimed his intention Of shortening
the time of service.
