HARRIMAN'S STATEMENT
London m Unexpectedly Large Buyer

There were wide opening sales at the start in Union Pacific and South ern Pacific, $500 shares of Union Pa eidc being bought simultaneously be- tween 172 5-S and 173, and l,2OO Southern Pacific at 10s and 19O 1-s, Thus Union Pacific sold 3-S above London parity, St. Paul was 5-S hign- CT and Reading IA higner than Thursdays closing. After an lrregu- lar market during the first hour, stock became very strong towards midday, under the lead of Union Pa ci1c. This strength was checked when the Hartman railway earnings were published: then In the last hour, the weakness in the Steel shares was re- poated in many other stocks There was evidently a good deal of unload ina' for strong interests during the dar.

It did not require captious critic to notice, first that the record break ing net earnings of the Union Pacific were published four or five days ahead of the usual time, and second that their publication was Immediately preceded by violent inside manipua- tion of Union Pacific stock. The high est price was reached on heavy pur- chases during the first hour, then, when the statement was given out some one sold his Union Pacific shares freely enough to force down the price l 14 point. This sort of thing has be- come quite inseparahle from develop ments in Union Pacifc's finances.

London was an unexpectedly large buver of stocks in this market taking probably 35,000 shares, mostly Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, and sell ing very little of anything, In bank ing circles this buying was rather gem .rally attributed to covering of con- tracts in connection with the eXten- slve "calls" put out by London some weeks ago. These ventures, from the looks of things, were disastrous to the makers The losses appear to have been anywhere from to points on Union Pacific, but much smaller on other stocks, which have not advanc- ed s1 much. American stocks were notably strong in London before the local opcnng apparently the result of bidding up on New York orders, for the purpose of driving in rle short interest above referred to, Union Pa clnc was 7-S higher than the New York parity Southern Pacific l-2 higher, and Northern Pacific 34 high CT.

Discussion on the floor had for one of it's principal topics the news that John D Rockefeller had come out" for Taft. Bearish traders contended that this meant swinging a large vote over to the democratic column, but were noticeably timid about selling stocks on the prospects of the Bryan victory which they figured out An other contention was that the indca- tlons were that the big people were confident in a victory for Taft and a return of business prosperity sooner than would be the case under a change in the dominant party in the executive branch of the government

Tho most distinguished civilian aboard

assistant director of the bureau of posts
in the Philippines, and secretary of the
Philippine Carnival Association, which
is just now occupying a very promineni
place in the public eye in the Orient
On Mr.. Noting largely rests the re
sponsibility for the efficient postal ser
vice in the Philippines. AS the execu

he has had more than anyone else the
brunt of the task of Americanizing the
postal service on his shoulders. That
he has done this IN manner that il
highly satisfactory to the officials OF

THE AMERICAN-JAPANESE
AGREEMENT IS ANNOUNCED

(2) The policy Of both governments
uninfuenced by any aggressive tenden-
cies is directed to the maintenance of
the existing status quo in the region
above mentioned and to the defense of
the principle of equal opportunity for
commerce and industry in China.
(3) They are accordingly firmly re-
solved reciprocally to respect the ter
ritorial possessions belonging to each
other in said region.
az They are also determined to
preserve the common interests of all
powers in China by supporting by all
pacific means at their disposal the in
dependence and integrity of China and
the principle of equal opportunity for
commerce and industry of all nations
in that Empire.
(5) Should any event occur threat
ening the status quo as above described
or the principle of equal opportunity
as above defined, it remains for the two
governments to communicate with each
other in order to arrive at an under
standing as to what measures they may
consider it useful to take.
If the foregoing outline accords with
the view of the government of the Uni
| ted States, i shall be gratified to re-
| ceive your confirmation.
Secretary Roots Reply.
From Mr.. Root:
l have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your note of today, setting
forth the result of the exchange Of
views between us in our recent inter
views defining the understanding of the
two governments in regard to their
policy in the region of the Pacific
Ocean.
1t is a pleasure to inform you that
this expression of mutual understand
ing is welcome to the government Of
the United States as appropriate to
the happy relations of the two coun'
tries and as the occasion for concise
mutual affirmation of that accordani
policy respecting the Far East which
the two governments have so frequent
| ly declared in the past.
1 am happy to be able to confirm tc
Your Excellency OH behalf of the Uni
! ted States the declaration of the two
governments embodied in the following
words here follow five points of under
Fstanding exactly same as abovel.

the United States government sees fit
to grant her the $4,000 all right; if
not, all right. The Queen has an in
come for life of SIT 900 "a year, voted
her by the Hawaiian Legislature. Then
she owns 5000 acres of valuable sugar
plantations on the Island of Hawaii, all
under cultivation, has other smaller par
cells of land on other islands, aggregat-
ing less than 1000 acres, and she owns
her residence in Honolulu; the famous
Washington place, about two-thirds of
a city block. 1t was her husband IS.
Her only near relative is Prince Cupid,
our Congressional representative in
Washington; he is her nephew"
Altogether, 1T appears that Liliuoka-
lani has property that, combined with
her annuity from the Territory, must
bring her an income of $4,000 year.
The crown lands, explained her sec
rotary, are now valued at $2O,O00,OO0,
and they all belong to the United States
government. Had Lilioukalani remain
ed Queen these lands would have be-
longed to the royal family, and she
would be reaping the immense revenue
from them. But the government made
no settlement with the ousted Queen,
and now in her old age she has no mind
to make a legal fight, and she made
none when she was forced to abdicate
and let the Islands become a republic
before they were annexed to the United
States.

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

1t was once thought that a
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the SEN
ses than why food should do so.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take plain cod liver oil, and the
emulsions are as bad, no matter
what may be alleged to the con-
trary. Now it is one of natures
laws that a medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part OF
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains all
: the curative properties of pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by
us from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or cream.
Taken before meals it goes to the
very secret stronghold of diges-
tive disorders, AID strengthens
the systcm against Scrofria,
Throat and Lung Troubles AID
all diseases due TO impurity Of
the blood. DR.. G.. G. Shannon, of
Canada, says: 81 shall continue
its use with, l am sure, great adj
vantage to my patients and Eatis-
faction to myself" 1t has az
the virtues of cod liver oil; none
Of its faults. Sold by chemists.

kauai WINE COMPANY
ALLEGED A BANKRUPT

A petition in bankruptcy of consid
cradle interest was filed in the United
States District Court yesterday. w. G.
Peacock s. Co., Hoffschlaeger Company,
and the Honolulu Brewing and Malt
ing Company have filed petition ask
ing that the Kauai Wine and Liquor
Company of Waimea be declared bank
rupt.
Some months ago similar petition
was filed by Lovejov & Co. and other
creditors, asking that the Kauai Wine
and Liquor Company be declared a
bankrupt, and at that time Peacock &
Company very strenuously opposed the
application, and the trial of the case
lasted several days, ending in YER
dict that the company was not bank
rupt.
In the petition fled yesterday it is
alleged that the concern has admitted
its bankruptcy in writing. 1t is al
legged that the concern owes about
$4,000.
The debts to Peacock & Co. are
$7965.30 on open account and $4,S79.91
is due on sales made of goods consign-
ed. The debts to Hoffschlaeger are
$594.S4, and to the Honolulu Brewing
and Mailing Company $33s.04.
The concern has been a losing ven.
ture for long time.

The text Of the notes exchanged be-
tween Ambassador Takahira and Sec
rotary Of State Root, forming the basis
of an agreement between Japan and
the United States, was made public
yesterday, the local Japanese Consul
General being advised by the Embassy
at Washington by cable. The agree
ment is that announced in Honolulu
by the Hawaii Shinpo on November 10
and republished, in full in this paper
on the day following, with the excep-
ton that no reference is made to i'm,
migration in the announced notes.
1t is very probable that the publica-
ton of the agreement here in an un-
official way had something to do with
the official announcement made yester-
day. In this connection it is interest.
ing to note that Secretary Root denied
automatically on November "a that any
"treaty" had been arranged or CON
templated between Japan and America
to guarantee the integrity and indie
pendence of China.
The text of the exchanged notes, as
given out to the press yesterday by
Consul General Ueno, is:
Japan 8 proposal.
To Mr. Root:
The exchange of views between us
which has taken place at the several
interviews which L have recently had
the honor of holding with you has
shown that Japan and the United
States holding important outlying in
sular possessions in the region of the
Pacific Ocean the governments of the
two countries are animated by COM
mon aim, policy and intention in that
region. Believing that frank avowal
of that aim, policy and intention would
not only tend to strengthen the rela-
tons of friendship and good neighbor-
hood which have immemorially existed
between Japan and the United States,
but would materially contribute to the
preservation of the general peace, the
Imperial government have authorized
me to present to you an outline of their
understanding of that common aim,
policy and intention.
az 1t is the wish of the two gov.
| ernments to encourage the free and
peaceful development of their com
merce onsthe Pacific. Ocean.

A WEIRD YARN ABOUT THE
QUEEN AND HER PROPERTIES

The Chronicle has been fooled by
some imaginriattiisySe person about the
Queens properties, as follows:
Ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii,
who will resume her journey from San
Francisco tomorrow in the course of
seven months pleasure tour that will
include Boston, New York, Washington,
as well as London, Paris, Berlin and
other European cities, has been at work
in her Honolulu home during the past
year preparing her personal memoirs for
publication by a Boston concern, the
same house that dozen years ago is
sued her interesting volume entitled
"Hawaii's Story, by Hawaii's Queen"
Queen Liliuokalani was seventy years
of age two months ago, but, contrary to
recent report, she is in exceptionally
good health, and feels none of the usual
handicaps, of years. AS woman of
wide experience among notable people,
she is said to be. more like the late Mrs.
Jane Stanford than perhaps any other
woman California has known. Her con-
versation shows depth and a wide gem
eral knowledge of affairs. Her first
book, now out of print, wove the ro-
nance and femininity of her own per-
sonality into an unusually unique story
of the natives of the Islands.

does not intend to press her claim. If
