.HEMENWAY PRAISES
HAWAI'S LEGISLATURE

Washington Post-''The 1907 ses-
sion of the legislature of the Territory
of Hawaii would compare favorably in
the dignity and intelligence of its DELHI
.erations with the session of any State
legislature in the United States, in nv
judgment" said Charles Reed Hemen-
way, Attorney General of Hawaii, at
the Willard.
''The Hawaiians are making splen-
did progress, Mr.. Hemenway con-
tinued, (which is all the more praise
worthy because we are inclined to meas
ure them by standards of civilizations
hundreds of years ago. Nine tenths of
the members of the Hawaiian legisIa-
ture are natives, for they are inclined
to elect their own people to office, but
these officials assume responsibility in
the right spirit

block, leaving a wide strip of land be.
tween the site and Queen street and
another strip between the site and Mi.
lilani street, there being considerable
width to the strip left between the
Waikiki boundary of the site and the
Opera House. The small gore left be-
tween the front line of the offered site
and the street line is not included in
the property proposed to be sold, but
will be, on agreement, given to the
Territory to widen the Palace Square
before the site. The line of the street
then will be where recommended by
George Milford Robinson.
When Mr.. Robinson planned that
street line, however, which is on line
with the corner of the Kawaiahao
church property, to give a view to the
Lunalilo tomb, it was also his recon-
mendation to have the Opera House
removed, the square widened straight
through and the garage removed. The
street line as shown in the map, if
adopted. will now only throw the
Opera House out in front of the street
line and make an awkward and I'M
beautiful jog.
At the present time, and without
any particular promise of improve
ment, the makai and Waikiki sides of
the Federal building, if erected on the
Irwin site, would be lined with untidy
shacks, laundries and such. In dis
tinction to the fact that the Mahuka
site is surrounded by some of the best
buildings in the city, substantial bus
mess blocks, the Irwin site has facing
it saloon, laundry, iron foundry, and
buildings neither beautiful nor impos-
ing.
All these things are to be brought
to the attention of the authorities at
Washington, and to Congress, should
this latter become necessary.

JAPAN AND CHINA CLASH.
Attack in Northern Korea May
Cause Complications.

Serious complications affecting the
peace of China and Japan are threat
ened as the result of an engagement be-
tween Chinese and japanese troops at
Kantao, northern Korea, in which sew
eral men were killed or wounded. The
refusal of the Chinese war office TO permit
the pursuit of a detachment of soldiers
who are said to have been the aggressors
may result in the crossing of the FROM
tier by japanese troops. Chinese SOL
diery are reported to have opened the hos
tilities by firing upon a police station oc-
cupied by the japanese troops, who were
sent into Kantao as guard for the
Koreans there. The firing that ensued
lasted several hours and though the ex-
act number of casualties is not ascer-
tainable a number were killed or wound
ed. The commander of the japanese gar
rison Immediately called upon China for
permission to cross the frontier and pur-
sue the assailants, who seem to have been
worsted in the engagement. The request
was denied by the war Office. The Jap
anese foreign Office has made representa-
tons to the government at Pekin and the
situation is beginning to assume a seri-
Gus aspect. 1t is intimated that unless
China takes prompt action satisfactory
to the japanese government the latter
may assume he initiative and cross the
frontier to give protection to the Koreans.

FIRE STIRS SOUTH CHICAGO.
Whole Section in Terror al Salt
Depositoriea Arc DESTROYED.

Fear of flames that threatened to de-
stroy the homes, stores and factories of
South Chicago drove thousands of persons
from their beds before daybreak Friday
to watch with anxiety the burning of two
big warehouses filled with salt, which
stretched along the west banks of the
Calumet river for the entire square be-
tween 102d and 103d streets, South Chi
cago. The salt warehouses, property of
the International Salt Company, were
only a short distance to the southwark
of the business district of South Chicago
ana the flames and blazing brands were
hurled high into the air amid dense clouds
of smoke by a wind that rushed steadily
toward the north with almost the violence
of hurricane. The great warehouses
were destroyed, and the loss on them and
their contents is estimated by Superin-
tendent James Ellison to approximate
$4,000. The office of the Belt Line
railroad was burned, as were also thirty
five empty freight cars standing on sid
ings awaiting loading.

NEW YORK.

Continued warm, unreasonable weather
and the approach of the national election
tend to hamper distribution of season
able merchandise, the purchase of any
but immediate necessities and the projec-
tion of new enterprises. On the balance
industry is slightly more active, some
branches of the iron trade having in
creased forces, while building is more
brisk. but at the same time drought or
tend to affect such lines as coke, water
way navigation and paper mills. Rail-
way tonnage is heavier, and current
gross earnings show smaller decreases
thar for any time in the past ten months.
Summed up, caution still prevails, but
confidence is very strong, and therefore
natural conditions, together with light
stocks, should produce a marked degree
of expansion after the turn of the new
year. Until then repression seems to
be the policy, the hand-to-mouth buying
movement is deemed to be the part of
wisdom, and new enterprises are being
held in allegiance, either by the credit-giv-
ing institutions or by their projectors.

Business generally indicates a moder.
ate gain in activity, particularly at fac
tories and in merchandising, but caution
remains the keynote, and new demands
fall short of expectations in iron and
steel.
An outstanding feature is the gradual
increase of machinery and hands employ
ed in production. Some plants engaged
in metal, wood and leather working have
become larger consumers of crude sup
plies, and their outputs mainly exceed
those of a month ago, although only in
a few instances is there closer approach
to the former active capacity.
