But the kanaka champion wasted nc
time in studying the situation. Like q
streak his pony circled the steer, the
big rawhide rope clipped the steer s
hind feet, frightened like a bowstring
and down went the steer with a grunt
dred yards away.
Then the crowd yelled! Purdy bent

him with yells and cheers. Suddenly
he jumped to his feet and threw his

Johnny Rick of Wyoming opened the

steer was a white-faced fellow who did

scramble to his feet again. Three times
this happened, and at last Johnny COM

Then came Lowe, the Honolulu cattle
man. The crowd, anxious to see what
the visitor was like, paid him the
tribute of perfect silence. The steer

To the bitter disappointment of every
sportsman in town and hundreds of PEG
pie who would not go to see the aver
age sporting event, the great three-cor
nered bout between DIR. Roller, Sailor
Roberts, Kanae, and Mitsuki is called
off
Kanae and Mitsuki will not assure
their appearance in the only way pos
sible, by putting up forfeit, and the
big Doctor is taking no chances on a
fizzle, SO he has been obliged to call the
affair off and disappoint his many
friends, who have been urging him to
give public exhibition.
This is greatly to be regretted. Dr.
Roller has made a hit with everybody
who has met him in Honolulu by his
quiet and gentlemanly manners and the
open-hearted way in which he has met
people and told all about himself and
wrestling.
Local athletes went down to the Hea-
lani boathouse to see him work and
were struck with his magnificent ply
sique. When they saw him go through
some of his stunts they were even more
struck, and they began to ask him to
give a public exhibition.
The Doctor stated fatty that he was
not in Honolulu for that purpose. He
is used to appearing in bouts where the
gate receipts run into five figures. and
he explained that there was nothing in
it for him and he did not care about
doing it. After great deal of urging,
however, he agreed TO meet three of the
best men on the Islands and throw them
all within an hour. The three best men
are acknowledged to be Sailor Roberts,
Frank Kanae and Mitsuki, the Japanese
wrestler.

years have come upon them that CONNER
cial men are joining the laboring masses in
the cutlery for radical change, although the
two are thinking Of entirely different pur-
poses. The workman thinks that by a
change in his political status he may pass
acts through the legislature that will make
him better off; the business world thinks
that the imperial strength of Germany, for
which it has paid and sacrificed so much,
should come forward to help the trader.
Existing markets are crowded with wares
for which there are nc profitable buyers.
Industrial Germany has won its place in the
world by the capacity of its agents to sell
to the foreigner. 1t is for the armed
strength OF the government 1t thinks. to re-
move any obstruction in their way.
1t is far more likely that the kaiser and
industrial Germany may persuade them
selves that England. and particularly Brit

force"
Acting on this principle most of the Ger
man banks have made a practice of putting
out their capital to work with business men
who have no business capital of their own.
Alongside the rich and independent COM
mercial houses that can afford to wait and
to survive a period of no profits there is a
vast army of new men, the rank and file of
Germany's invading force in the worlds
foreign markets who must be supported by
the banks unless they are to cease business.
1t has been usual for the banks when q
man proposed to go into business with their
money to require as guarantee satisfactory
evidence of his honesty and capacity, the
sort of evidence that a capitalist requires
from. an employe who is to be put in a posi-
tion of trust, but no security of capital is
deposited. h bank would then open a

The system, which is the basis of all the
rate cutting trade in foreign markets has
grown up under>a complete partnership be-
tween the bank and the customer whose
business it finances. 1t insists that he con-
duct all his AFFAIRS through its books, of his
acceptances, OF his bills of lading. He may
not have any transactions with another
bank.
Suppose a trader has a free capital of
$4,000 with a German bank. A Brazilian
house is disposed to consign him coffee on
the payment of 75 per cent of its presumed
value, but it requires that he draw his bill
on a bank of known standing so that it may
be readily discounted.
He explains the proposed transaction to
the bank and asks for a credit of $40, 900.

their high destiny, than that their ambi-
lions should consent to make terms with
the pacific radicals. The force of events
marks out England as the defendant in the
case that expanding Germany means to
prosecute with all its might. Z
Germany's export trade, by its organiza-
tion cannot afford to wait long for its re-
turns. 1t has pressed nearly all its reserves
of capital into active business, made all its
money work. Herr Plate. president of the
Bremen Cotton exchange, has put the case
for the progressive traders with perfect
clearness.
Capital" he says, counts only insofar
as it is an available weapon for business.

sions are proportionately high as the
business is speculative, but in the past the
banks have shown that they could thrive so
well on such business that they have sent
branches out to their customers ~favorite
fields OF operations, to South America. to
China and all the east. The one essential
is the free flow of capital.
For a year past the flow has been steadily
drying up and the commission houses and
men dependent on the banks feel them
selves lost. Their confusion is the worse
because the facilities for getting financed
and the consequent unstinted competition
made them piuralists to an extreme degree.
