Result of Conference Is
Kept Secret.

At a Banquet Expressions of
International Friendship
Were Exchanged.
SOLDIERS GUARD VISITORS
(By Associated Press.)

Ell PASO, October 17.-History was
made here yesterday when President
Taft and President Diaz exchanged
calls. Long conferences were held, but
the meetings were private and it is not
known what matters the chief execu-
tives of the two great countries dis
cussed.
Military pomp was everywhere in
evidence. President Taft was escorted
to the headquarters of President Diaz
by large detachment of American sol
diery, and the soldiers Of Mexico at
tended their president when he made
his call.
Last night a banquet was given to
celebrate the conclusion of the great
conference which must ever occupy an
important place in history There were
many expressions of friendship on the
part of the two presidents and the be-
lief was expressed that the two nations
will continue to live in perfect
harmony.
After the banquet last night Presi.
dent Taft started for San Antonio while
President Diaz returned to the Mexican
capital. Not an untoward incident
married the meeting of the presidents.

known as Prince Kuni, is returning to
japanese territory after some two years
spent abroad in studying the art of
warfare. He is accompanied by the
princess and by small retinue.
There will be no formal reception,
for Prince Kuni is travelling incog, so
etiquette forbids that he be received
with the honors due his royal rank.
Every effort will be made to make his
stay in Honolulu pleasant, however. and
in an informal way the influential local
japanese will show him many courte-
sizes.
From the ship Prince Kuni will be
escorted to the Alexander Young Hotel,
where accommodations have been re-
served for him. He will spend the night
at the hotel just what arrangements
will be made for the entertainment of
the prince will not be decided upon
until His Royal Highness has been con-
suited and his wishes in the matter
have been learned.
Prince Kuni is the third son of Prince
Tomoshiko and is nephew of the
Emperor of Japan. He is still in the
twenties, though he has seen consider
able active military service. He holds
the rank of fieHtenantcolonel in the
imperial Japanese army.
Throughout the war with Russia
Prince Kuni served as a staff officer
with general Kuroki. He took part in
the campaign in Manchuria and won
laurels a a soldiers In 1907 he went
to Europe to perfect himself in his
chosen profession, taking up his rest
dence in Berlin. For two years he
served with the Second Infantry Regi-
ment of the Guard in Berlin.
Prince Kuni attended the Hudson
Fulton celebration as the personal rep
resentative of the Emperor of Japan.

Federal Authorities Are After
Gang of Japanese
SWindlers.
CHEATED OWN C0UNTRYMEN
Daring Attempt to Get Deposits
of Contract Laborers
From Bank.

Postal money order frauds by which
hundreds and perhaps thousands of dol
lars have been stolen have been dis
covered by United States District At
torney Breckons, and the Federal Grand
Jury is at work investigating the mat
ter. 1t is probable that number of
indictments will be returned, charging
several japanese with trying to cheat
both their own countrymen and the
government of the United States.
At the time when the contract labor
system was in force in Hawaii and
the planters were importing japanese
under contract to perform the manual
labor on the plantations, the Japanese
who were brought over were required
to permit certain proportion of their
wages to be held out by the planters
and deposited in the Yokohama Specie
Bank to insure their having funds to
pay their passage back to their native
country, in case they desired to return
at the termination of the time for
which they had contracted to come.
But a large number of the Japanese
did not return, and a good many of
them did not draw out from the hank
the money that had been deposited to
their credit. This was in many in
stances, probably, due to the fact that
because of their ignorance of business
transactions, they did not know that
there was anything coming to them.
Some of this money is still lying in the
bank unclaimed.
Campaign for Money.
But about two years ago a few
shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS japanese
learned that the Yokohama Specie Bank
held those deposits, and they began a
campaign to get possession of the
money. Unfortunately for them, they
acted through the United States post
office. They obtained orders, or claim
ed they had orders, from the japanese
to whose credit the money was deposit
ed, to have it sent to them. OF course,
the bank did not send it to the alleged
agents but bought money orders pay
able to the original depositors.
A little thing like this, however, did

T. MILNER HARRISON
TALKED TOO MUCH
What He Is Said to Have Said Is Bad,
and a Warrant Issues

T. Miner Harrison, he of the drug
full attentions of the fair sex and the
propensities for getting slapped on the
public highways, has at last been ar
rested.
Entered against his name on the
police docket are the simple figures,
"3IS8.' To the lay mind this might
indicate man-slaughter, patricide, Chris
tianside or the theft of a side of bacon,
but it merely means that 7. Miner has
been swearing.
Yesterday he was observed standing
on the steps of the city bastille paint
ing the air blue in soft tones and it
was later discovered that he had been
''pinched' for profanity. That he was
not pinched for cuss words is evident
by the fact that he was again observed
at nine clock last night on Pauahi
street. leaning his head sadly against
fence and going to it like King Viii
liam.
He has surely had enough to make
him weep and swear. for following his
being slapped by John Christian, and
being drugged by John Christian s fem
mime friends, as he declares, bunch
of the FEboys' told him that Judge
Andrade had gone home to Manoa Val
ley at a time when 7. Miner wanted
him to sign the fifth warrant he had
made out against Christian. As mat
ter of fact Judge Andrade was in the
Grill eating lunch at the time Harrison
was told outside of it, that the judge
was sick and home.
And then to get pulled in for swearing!
Wouldn t it jar you!

STUYvESENT FISH
MAY BE MINISTER
1t Is Rumored in Shanghai That
New Yorker Will Succeed
c. r. Crane.
(By Associated Press.)

SHANGHAI, October T.-There is
rumor current here that Stuyvesant
Fish of New York city win be appoint
ed envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to China to succeed the
Hon. Charles r. Crane, whose diplo-
matte career came to a sudden end be-
cause of indiscreet remarks made in
the course of an interview published
in the Chicago newspapers. Though
there is no official confirmation of the
report, the story finds general credence
in well informed circles.
Stuyvesant Fish, who came into ma
tional prominence through his battle
with f. H. Hartman for the control
of the Illinois Central railroad, is the
son of the late Hamilton Fish who was
secretary of state during Grant g aa-
ministration He is an officer or direc-
tor of many railway and financial in-
stitutions and for years was the undis-
puted head Of the Illinois Central rail-
way.
At the time of the hartman
fight the public took a lively interest
in the affair because of the great social
prominence of the Fish family. 1t was
Stuyvesant Fish who made it possible
for Hartman to get his first foothoia
in the railway world.

NOT 4 G|LYAK
IN THE BUNCH
PereIstrous Is Bringing Russians
Which Are the Simon
Pure Article.
What are Gilyaks?


A good many persons asked this
question yesterday, after reading in
this paper the clipping from the Japan
Mail that possibly immigration Agent
Atkinson was bringing, not Russians,
but something with a name that ap-
peared TO be a combination of
"gilly'' and "yap.'
A Gilyak, according to those who
know, is a Siberian bog trotter, a
cousin to a Laplander on one hand
and a Tartar on the other. These peo-
ple live on the Siberian tundra and are
of Mongol origin.
Do not be alarmed, however. None
of them are coming here, even if the
immigration authorities would allow
them TO come. Word received on
Thursday from Mr.. Perelstrous states
that the people he has selected are all
of pure Russian stock, recruited from
the immigrants at Hardin from Little
Russia. They are all peasant farmers,
people whom he believes will be wei
coined here as soon as the plantation
managers learn the possibilities IN
them.
Mr.. PereIstrous states that the Sc
curing of laborers has not been with
ont its difficulties The Russian Off
Gals opposed the emigration vigorous
~ At Hardin the passports for the
laborers were refused them and it was
necessary to take them on a round
about way TO get them safely at tide
water.
All was finally accomplished salts
factorily. however. and the party is
safe aboard the Siberia. due TO land
at this port on Wednesday next.

The Wausau Choral society produced
''Erminie" for the third time on Wednes-
day evening, under the able direction
of Edwin Howard. The opera house
was well filled, though the audience was
not as large as the occasion warranted.
As before, the comic opera was well
staged and the costumes rich and at
tractive. The beautiful airs of Erminie
were again sung and the appreciation
of the audience was manifested by re-
peated encores. The cast, for the prin-
cipal parts and choruses was the same
as on the two previous renditions of the
opera.
Mr. Cone had his orchestra under per-
feet control and the music added much
to the success of the entertainment As
the PILOT gave full account at the
first rendention of the opera it is unnec-
essary to go into details at this time.
more than to say all the singers were in
excellent voice, and the comic element,
such as to give rounds of applause and
words of praise for Messrs Taylor and
Ingraham. The Choral society and es-
pecially Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Howard
are to be congratulated on the pro
nounced success of the opera.
