ATTACKED BY A WOLF.

SPRING CITY, Pa, March 14.-This
morning while attending to his du-
ties, John HOOK, the keeper of the ZOO
logical garden at Bonnie Brae Park,
near this place, was attacked by one
of the large Siberian wolves. He had
a very exciting encounter, and before
he subdued the enraged animal he was
bitten on the body and arms and had
his flesh badly torn.
The wolf is a tame one, but became
entangled in it's pen with a chain and
was strangling, when Mr.. HOOK came
to its rescue. 1t was while he was
trying to release the beast that he
was attacked. With the help of one
of his assistants he finally conquered
the animal. Mr.. HOOK was hurried
to his place in a carriage, when DR..

TALKED
ABOUT KOREA
TWO DAYS BEFORE HIS ASSAS-
SINATION HE WAS INTERVIEW
ED IN SAN FRANCISCO.

D. w. Stevens, diplomatic adviser to
arrival yesterday on the Nippon Maru,
returning on a leave of absence after
a service of several years in Japan and
Korea, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle of March 81, two days before Stew
ems was struck down by Korean as
sassins. Stevens was at one time sec
rotary of the American Legation at
Toxic, and later was attached to the
Japanese Legation at Washington. In
1904, under the treaty between Japan
and Korea, he was appointed to his
present position.
Stevens says the Korean people have
been greatly benefited by Japanese
protection and that they are beginning
to look more favorably on it. He says
the Japanese are doing for the Koreans
what America is doing for the Philip
pines. Continuing, he said:
"YOu can get some idea of the con-
dition of Korea before the war from
the statement that the Government
| was SpeuuluS O,UOOUUU yen ANNUALLY
on a standing army and 10000 yen on
public education. The people are div
ided into two classes, the peasantry
and the official classes. The former
was ground down until nothing but a
bare existence was left from their Ia
bor. while the official class was thor
oughly corrupt.
"The peasants have welcomed the
Japanese. while the official class has
not, but even the officials are begin
ming to see that the only hope for the
country lies in a reorganization of the
old institutions"
Stevens says he expects to return t'
Korea in a few months, but he is no
certain whether he will resume his po
sition. He was accorded an official re-
ception yesterday by Charles Stephens
acting for the Collector of the Port.

HENSHALL WAS IN HILO

per. Some years ago Editor Shiozawa
decided to establish an English Sec
ton in his paper. He secured the SER
vices of local attorney to aid him in
handling the intricacies of the Eng
fish language. An appointment to a
high position (Which he still holds)
prevented the attorney in question
from keeping up the work, slight
though it was, and Mr.. Shiozawa ask
ed Mr.. Henshall, then court reporter
OF The Star, to take up the work Mr..
Shiozawa invariably wrote, or talked,
his own editorial articles. using an
English typewriter himself, he wrote
long articles and sent them by mes
senger to Mr.. Henshall for gramma-
tical correction. Though quite skillet
In the use of English, Mr.. Shiozawa
realized that he was not free from de-
fects due to Japanese methods of SEN
tence-construction being uppermost in
his mind, and this was the reason for
his asking assistance. Mr.. Henshall
states that there was no editorial thus
appearing in the Shinpo that was not
either first written by Mr.. Shiozawa
or in conversation outlined.
AS far as the "anti-AmeriCan' edi-
torials are concerned, they appeared il
at all after Mr. Henshalls connection
with the work had ceased and when he
was in Hilo, editor of the Herald. II
this connection he makes the follow
ing statement: 81 do not personally re
call any anti-American editorials.

FRESH CONDUCTOR PUNISHED

SEATTLE (Wash), March 2O-Just
because on Wednesday evening he kiss
ed a pretty Miss, aged II, on Broad
way and Pike-street car as it was ap-
preaching the terminus of the system
in the fashionable North Broadway dis
trict, James E. Floyder, a conductor
in the employ of the Seattle Electric
Company, was discharged.
Floyder became attentive to the girl,
who was frequent passenger on his
car, and shelf apparently, seemed
pleased. On the evening in question
only two or three stragglers stood on
the rear platform. Not noticing any OF
these, the conductor pressed his suit
diligently, and the girl, he asserts,
smiled back at him. Unable to re-
strain his ardor, FlOyder said, he EN-
braced the girl, and the two men on
the platform were Mortified at a sound
ing smack as the conductor finished
his embrace. One of the witnesses TO
! his act was a relative of the girl, and
he promptly informed her father, who
yesterday morning filed a formal
charge against Floyder and had him
dismissed from the employ of the cal
company.

WILL REVIVE
OCEANIC LINE

WASHINGTON, March 2O-The ship
subsidy bill was passed by the Senate
today. 1t pays to sixteen-knot vessels
plying between this country and South
America, the Philippines, Japan, Chi
ma and Australasia 81 per mile, the
amount awarded by the act of 1891 to
vessels of twenty knots only.
1t will now go to the House, -~7,-lere
there is a good chance for its passage.
One result of the bill will be that the
Oceanic Steamship Company VIII be
able to renew it's service to New yea
land and Australia. This bill is very
important to the Pacific Coast, said
Senator Perkins today 81 have been
much interested in its passage ana reel
that it is a great thing for American
commerce"
Amendments were adopted providing
that If two or more lines of steamships
ply from Atlantic ports to South Am
erica under the provisions of the bill,
one line shall stop at two ports south
of Cape Charles, and stipulating that
no more shall be paid for subsidies
than is received from such service by
the Government.
! During the consideration of the
measure Hale made a spirited plea for
an auxiliary navy, declaring that with
out auxiliaries our Navy is dependent
upon foreign countries and that in
/ case of war we would be helpless.

VAUDEVILLE NEXT

The play last night was "Floradora
and the packed mouse at the Orpheum
received it with every mark of the
strongest approval. Laughter and ap-
plause was the portion of the Lillipu-
tians, the signs of popular favor that
are dearest to the Thespian.
The little actors are growing more
popular with Honolulu people every
day, and are bound to receive an ova-
ton with their vaudeville entertain
ment tomorrow and Thursday evenings.
These clever little people enter into
vaudeville with a freedom and spirit
that are impossible to older and more
blase members of their profession, and
the evident delight they take in being
foolish" strikes a responsive chord,
down deep somewhere in the breast OF
everyone who has ever been a kid. "
There is room in vaudeville for every
one who has some special talent, and
that there are more than few of those
in the Lilliputian company no one who
has witnessed one of their perform
ance swill question for a moment.
There are only three more nights Of
the engagement here, and the seats for
the last two performances are getting
to be more and more in requisition. 10
judge from the advance sale of seats,
the vaudeville shows will prove greater
drawing than any previous bill Don
delay getting your seats.

AUSTRALIA AND
COLOREO LABOR

On the establishment of the Austria
liam Commonwealth the Federal Par
lament imposed an education test on
all immigrants, but while in practice
Europeans are not subjected to this
test it is applied to all others so rig
orously as absolutely to secure their
exclusion. This Federal law embodies
the infexible resolve of Australians
not to see reproduced in their country
the conditions prevailing in the South
ern States of America or in those
South American communities where
mixed races predominant. AS the
Agent General for New South Wales
would put it, they hold their territory
as trustees for the British people in
the first instance, and in the second
place for the white races generally, and
! in so holding it they conceive them
selves to nave a nobler idea of their
imperial responsibilities than have any
of the critics who insist on the admis-
sion of the Asiatics.
The part of Australia preferred by
the advocates of colored labor is the
so-called northern Territory belong
ing to South Australia and the north
ern seaboard of Queensland, where
tropical produce is grown in profusion.
The Agent General for New South
Wales denies that the white man porn
in Australia cannot work in the Aus
tralian tropics, where malarial fever
retreats before the systematic cultlVa-
tion of the soil. He points out that
the born Australian is more nearly ac-
climated to the tropics than is the Jap
anese or the inhabitant of Central ana
Northern China. At Hakodate, In Jap
an the average temperature of the cold
est month is 275 Fahrenheit, and at
Toxic SO. At Shanghai the average
Temperature of the coolest month Is
25. and at Pekingt 26.6. At Mel
bourne, on the other hand, in the cold
est months the average temperature
is 1872, in Adelaide SIT, in Sydney 52.S,
and in Brisbane GO. Then again sta
tistics show that in tropical Queens
, land the death rate among Kanakas Is
twenty-four a thousand, whereas the
death rate for adult Europeans in the
same region is not more than fourteen
thousand, and for persons of the
same age as the Kanakas, about eleven
thousand.
II 1t is also a fact that the sugar cane
, industry did not collapse, as wa'
, prophesied, on the withdrawal of the
Kanakas; on the contrary, it has since
become more fourishing. In 1901, wheI
the Commonwealth law excluding Ka
nakas became operative, there wer'
= 1317O acres of sugar cane cultivated
by white labor and $3.50 acres cult
waited by colored labor. Six years late
the respective areas were 116,520 acre
: cultivated exclusively by whites ant
= 16.62S acres on which colored labo
was employed. In 1902 the consump
ton of sugar in the Australian Com
. monwealth was $4,000 tons of import
ed sugar and $4,000 tons of Australia
sugar; the figures now are 5000 ton
= of imported sugar and $4,000 tons c
Australian sugar. Such is the out
come of the substitution of white fo
: colored labor in the canejfelds. Wha
: is true of Northern Queensland is like
D., wise true OF the Northern Territor,

4 dawn of its development. The exper

Mr.. Henshall was writing the edi-
