WHEN MEAT is LEFT OUT.
Two Good Recipes That Will Provide
Substantial Diet.

Cream Crabs in Peppers.-If you live
near salt water where crabs are OBJ
tainable this is a most inexpensive
dish. If you are not in crab country,
substitute any good white fish with
firm texture. Select large green sweet
peppers of uniform size, one for each
person. Cut off enough OF the stem
ends to make the vegetable set firmly
but do net make an opening through
which the juice can come. Cut off
the tops, Scrape out the seeds and
throw into ice water to soak for an
hour. For six peppers make the fol
lowing mixture: A coffee cupful of
crab meat, flaked after the crabs have
been boiled. In a porcelain or enamel
ed saucepan melt one tablespoonful of
flour. Add slowly one cup of milk,
stirring all the while. When this has
come to a boil remove the pan from
the fire, add beaten yolk of one egg,
large teaspoon of chopped parsley,
little lemon juice, salt and paprika.
Add the crab meat, return to the fire
and bring to boiling point. Remove
Immediately, wipe out the pepper cases

Scrambled Eggs and Mushrooms
An economical dish for the out-of-town
housewife who knows where and how
to gather mushrooms. For six peo-
pie quarter of a pound of mushrooms
will be required. They are light in
weight. Skin the tops scrape the
stems and wash in cold water; have
ready some melted butter, drop in the
mushrooms. whole if they are small,
halved if they are large; shake Wig
orously until they are lightly Drowned,
and then set on the back of the stove
while you prepare your eggs. Warm
a cup of rich milk in which you melt
two tablespoons of butter, salt and
pepper to taste. In another bowl beat
six eggs, whites and yolks together
Stir in the mushrooms and the sea
soned milk last. Turn the mixture
into porcelain lined or enameled fry
ing pan, rubbed with butter Cook
over moderate fire until the eggs are
set, using silver fork to keep the
cooked portion from sticking to the
bottom and sides of the pan. Serve on
hot toast garnished with parsley.

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept 1.-The con-
servative element of this city the
home Of Abraham Lincoln, is rejoic-
ing tonight in the fact that by the
heroic efforts Of the sheriff, who sue
ceeded in taking George Richardson,
the Negro who was accused Of having
assaulted Mrs. Earl Hallam on the
night of August IA, that an innocent
mans life was spared and that they
have succeeded in getting a statement
which removes every shadow Of doubt
as to the guilt of the accused.
While the city is bemoaning the
fate Of a half dozen victims as di-
rect result Of the excitement, they
are spared the humiliation of lynch
ing the accused man. Mrs. Hallam
has signed statement in effect that
George Richardson IS not the Ne
gro who assaulted her on the night Of
August IA. A warrant is reported to
have been sworn ont for another man
by the name of Ralph Buston, who
it is said may be implicated in the
assault. II was stated tonight on the
streets Of Springfield by prominent
people that there was never a serious
or a general belief that Richardson
was guilty, and that the sheriff was ac-
tuated in part by such belief and in
the other part by desire to perform
his duty.
While Springfield stands disgraced
in the eyes Of the world, she now has
an opportunity to make an atonement
by giving Justice ito the accused. She
will no doubt accept this. A fair and
impartial trial is already assured the
accused The Negroes will be as free
and unmolested in the capital OF IIli-
nois in the future as they have been
in the past, and no more such occur
rences will ever be attempted.
e The conservative element is much
: opposed to the dispatches that have
gone out from here claiming that the
. better class of citizens was implicated
in the riot They will see to It that
those acc 5ed shall be given fair trials
and if any are found guilty they will
. be punished according to the punish
. ment provided by the law. Complete
: quiet is restored in all quarters.

This is the decision of three able
Judges on the political debate that
was held at the ST. John African
Methodist Episcopal Church Monday
night, August 81. The debate had
been thoroughly advertised. Hun
dreds of people had anticipated the
coming together of two Of the city's
most pronounced orators, two men
capable of handling a discussion OF
a political nature. The debate was,

Democrat, for the President OF the
United States in the National Cam
paign of 1902" The debaters were

So high did the enthusiasm for this
debate run that before the time set

ative audience of the representative

Judging from the vast audience, II
could be easily seen that the time has
already come when the Negroes will
cling no longer to the republican party
like ''Ephraim to his IDOL" without
discussing and listening to the ad
vantages and inducements held ou'
to him by new parties.
While the debate progressed anC
it was evident that Mr.. Johnson made
decidedly the best argument, tht
sympathy of the audience was at al
times evenly divided. The entertain

AS fitting token for the nine years
of service at what is no doubt the
most noted educational institution IN
the South (Fisk University, the lead
ing citizens of Nashville rendered Dr.
James G.. Merrill, the retiring presl-
dent, a banquet. The banquet was
sumptuous in every respect There
were toasts from men who had been
in a position to watch the career Of
this distinguished educator from city,
state and national positions, and yet
each confessed that it was impossible
to portray the exact feeling Nashville
entertained towards such man who
had been often, and who 's constantly
characterized as an exceptional edu-
cator-one who has stood for higher
education in the face OF he most try
ing circumstances.
It will be remembered that at the
close Of the last school term Nashville
was thunderstruck with the news that
CDR. Merrill has resigned" Many
were the expressions Of regret, and II
was only after several weeks OF un
broken silence that he ventured tC

TIE CLOSED HOTELS.

The decision to close two of the
hotels of this city will be received
with general regret.
The resultant injury to the town
will come through an exaggeration
of the facts, just as one case of chol-
era did almost as much damage as Il
hundred.
The first effort of the people should
be directed to convincing the trav-
cling public that Honolulu still docs
not lack for first-class hotel accom-
mediation.
Then, instead of defeating them
selves to a general Gloomy-Gus view
of the situation, the people should
get together with the determination
of securing the people TO fill all the
hotels. This will bring them back to
the old problem of transportation.
The only way to solve this problem
is to keep constantly at It. Progress
does not come by waiting for some
thing to turn up.

thitk that three or four shiploads a
year similar to those brought in the
KumerIc, Suveric and Hcliopolis,
would be sufficient to keep up the
supply needed.
What think is most to be feared
is the moral effect which this new
regulation will have on the labOrers
who are now here. They will be like
ly to feel that they are the only labor
which the plantations have, and that
they control the supply from Japan,
as the new immigrants on whom the
Territory can draw are their relatives,
whom they can influence to stay
away should they so desire. Under
these circumstances they are likely to
feel that they command the situation,
and strikes are likely to result. The
only way to cOunteract this would be
to make our best efforts to have the
bill which eXempts Hawaii for period
of six years from the restrictions of

European labor. II this law Is passed

Washington, Jan. 10.-In view
of statement issued to-day by the
state Department the effect that
no demand had been made on Japan
for n written agreement to limit i'm
migration from that country, the
Chronicle correspondent is able to
throw some light on negotiations in
progress through admissions made by
men in touch with the situation.
Diplomatically and technically, the
statement by the state Department
is correct. No written statement has
been asked for and none will be.
However, representations were made
by ambassador o. Brien which al
with bad faith in the administration
of the regulations governing the en-
igration of laborers.
In the exchanges that resulted in
Washington between the State De-
partmcnt and Japan's representative
the attitude of the latter so nearly
approached turbulence, it is said,
that the scene of negotiations was
removed to Japan.
ambassador O'Brien cited to Minister
Hayashi evidence furpshed by i'm
migration statistics and made a full
showing of the failure by Japan to
govern the problem of coolie immi-
grafton. In reply he was given a
copy of the regulations and was
shown that passports were issued in
the name only of the Foreign Office,
but that certain provincial and pre-
fectural officials had authority to is
sue them and did so, the consequence
being that the number was greater
than the Government contemplated.
The difficulty was accentuatcd. It
was shown, by the fact that while
the United States and Canada object
ed to immigration Mexico welcomed
1t, being in need of laborers. In this
connection II will be remembered
that Commissioner of immigration
Sargent referred to this difficulty in
his annual report and said it might
be necessary to close ports of entry
on the Mexican border

very well so far as 1t goes, but 1t Will
undoubtedly prove quite as eXpen-
sive as the shipment direct from the
European homes, and by no mean so
reliable.
It is generally admitted that Ha-
wall Is entitled to have laborers to
do its wOrk-preferably the laborer
with a family, who will establish a
home and become permanent citi-
zen.
1t Is also admitted that the labor
ers of this class can be obtained for
these Islands under a reasonably lib
oral Federal law.
It is also proved that the PLAZA OF
allowing the Territorial Board of
immigration to secure these Euro
peans through contributions from
sugar corporations does not in the
slightest degree create conditions
which the present law, applicable to
the mainland, was framed to prevent.
In other words. this solicited labor
from Europe is not in any sense con-
tract labor. There are homes here
for these people. There is work for
them to do at fair wage. The sur
roundings are agreeable. In word
the Europeans solve one of the prob
lens.
In view of these facts, Hawaii will
show its good judgment by urging
immediate action upon Congress, and
presenting the situation in a vigor'
Gus manner.
The subject is of sufficient impor
lance to warrant II special delegation
going to Washington to back up tht
workers now there.

URGE EUROPEAN IMMIGRATION
AMENDMENT.

The japanese Foreign Office cable
gram to Consul General Saito, pub
lished in this paper yesterday, I'M
doubtedly outlines the arrangement
on which the American and Japan
ese Governments have decided to set
tie the immigration difficulties so far
as Hawaii is concerned.
AS the Bulletin stated in a
previous issue, there is nothing in
this arrangement to justify Hawaii
becoming hysterical or sorely afraid.
Ths restrictions placed on emigrants
by the japanese Government bring
the available class down to rather
narrow margin, but 1t does not by
sny means suggest that the japanese

labor supply for this Territory will
be completely cut of.
It will not do, however, for those
interested in the progress of Hawaii
to sit still and expect to be fed a
supply of labor, as with mamma from
Heaven.
The United States Congress should
be impressed with the fact that u
manifest injustice will be done Amer
lean interests in these Islands If the
restrictions placed on the present
supply of labor are not accompanied
by legislation that will make other
sources available.
Common justice to Hawaii calls
for the passage at the present ses-
sion of Congress Of the amendment to
the immigration law-aIready favor
ably reported in the House OF Repre-
sentatives-that will enable Hawaii
to secure workers and settlers from
Europe.
Unless this is done, the establish
ed industries of Hawaii have one of
two courses open to thcm-either a
search for material in other Oriental
labor centcrs or a general retrench-
ment of industry.
As stated in the Blu let n some
weeks ago the local Board of Immi-
grafton has taken steps TO obtain for
these Islands share of the European
immigrants seeking homes, who ar
