As near as can be judged by an

cause of the fact that there are. some
dissensions between some of the mem.
bers who have been attempting to do

ton as hard as they possibly can.
However, with all this scheming on
the part of these people the whole
matter is sized up in the words of one
who knows and who is in close touch
with both sides. to this effect:
"There is no chance to block the
administration measures unless the
Insurgents have the help of the Dem.
ocrats and do not believe they will
he able to get any assistance from
them. The administration will be
able to put through what measures It
wants no matter whether they are for
the best interests of the people at
large or not. We believe there should
be revision of many of the laws and
VIII help on great many of them?
But there are some pet measures
which will only be supported by the
members OF the administration side"
AT the last session of the Legisla.
ture there was law passed which
changed the tax laws of the State.
which practically shifted the burden
of taxation from all the general inter.
ests of the State to the coal. oil. gas
and railroad interests. The fight now
is between what might be termed the
vested interests and The people who
pay no taxes. Dawson is playing the
farming and the laboring interests as
against the corporate interests to

control of the State. and 1t looks

One of the principal measures
which will come up at this session.
and one which will not be fought by

There is little doubt. despite the fact
that something has been given out to
the effect that certain of the branch
lines would have to quit, that the rail.

going after the bill which will be in.
troduced to provide for a railroad

BY CHARLES L. RHODES.

HONOLULU, II. l., March 16.-
Admiral Rojestvensky. who lost the
Russian feet in the battle of the
Japan sea, furnished many dozen
quarts of champagne which were
opened and drunk in the entertain
ment given by Admiral Tomioka
and his officers of the Japanese
squadron, now visiting the waters
of Hawaii. Society in Honolulu for
the past week has been drinking
champagne paid for by the Russian
government, though it has been
dispensed by the Japanese.
Though the Japanese govern
ment in its official entertainments,
either through its diplomatic OF
consular corps. or its naval or mill
tary officers. never fails in anything
that convention calls for, the Japa,
nese themselves are proverbially
temperate. 1t was therefore with
some surprise that the people in
Honolulu, who were the guests OF
the admiral or officers of the Japa-
nese squadron during its stay here,
either aboard ship or at the con-
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1907-03-16

sulate, noticed the lavish way in
which champagne was offered and
served.
The reason of it became known
before the squadron left. With
every vessel of the Russian fleet
captured by Admiral Togo and his
men, there was captured an i'm
mense amount of French cham
payne. Every vessel of the Rus
sian fleet seemed bountifully sup
piled with it-better supplied in
fact than they seemed to be with
ammunition. 1t was stated by
some of the officers of the Japa
nese squadron here that the stories
of a trail of empty bottles and
baskets that marked the long
course of the Russian fleet in its
voyage from Europe to the Japan
sea, are literally true. At any rate
the Japanese squadron that was
here was well supplied with this
capNlred champagne, and it was
lavishly served to guests here In

help, but while they were gone the

Miss Toothaker is one of the
prettiest girls in this community

in the younger set, and is being
congratulated on all sides for her
courage. Had she not taken her
stand the burglar would have made
