JAPANESE BUY REVOLVERS.
Troubles at Honolulu Seem to Be on
the Increase.

Honolulu, June 17.-No reply has
been received by the Japanese strik-
ers here to the cabled appeal which
the arrested editor of Jill made to
Ambassador Takahira at Washington.
The appeal claimed that the authori-
ties entered the Office of the newspa-
per without due process of law and
thereby violated the treaty rights of
the four editors now under arrest.
A letter to Mr.. Takahira setting
forth the steps taken by the Higher
Wage ssociation and reciting the acts
of the authorities complained of in
their cabled appeal to the ambassador
will be sent by the Alameda, which
leaves this port tomorrow. In re-
sponse 20 appeals cabled to the Jap
anese of San Francisco and Seattle
replies have been received by the
strike leaders promising financial
and moral support. All of the mes
sages said that subscriptions have
been started.
The strike leaders declare that the
arrests have solidified the sentiment
of the strikers and the whole Japa-
nese community. The Japanese Re
tail Merchants Association have re-
considered their resolution favoring a
leturn to work and now favor the
prosecution of the strike. 1t is al
legged that many Japanese are buying
revolvers with the avowed purpose OF
resisting what they term unauthorized
seizures

gorgeous state barge, proceeded to the
STANDARD to greet the Russian ruler.

sovereign at the gangway and greeted
him with great cordiality. An inter-
change of visits lasted throughout the
greater part of the day and evening

A pr y THE MAMMA.
sei That the Most Melancholy
Chapter of Lamentations Remains
to Be Written.

10 Dc WfltJ6n.
The most distressing information
that has come over the wires for a
long time is the story that a number
of negroes in Louisiana have died
from the effects of eating blackber-
ries.
The shock of this statement is
about what it would be if we sudden
ly discovered that the trout were be-
ginning to drown in the mountain
brooks or the cows had caught enter
ic fever in the sweet fields of clover.
From a period beyond the memory
OF man the blackberry crop in the
Southern states has been to the negro
population like mama in the wilder
Less, while to the white people them
selves it has been one of the most i'm
portant adjuncts of daily diet in the
good old summer time. The latter,
for the most part, were not their own
purveyors. They bought the dusky
bucketfuls at the back door, and serv-
ed them fresh for breakfast, made
them into jam or cordial, in fifty-sev-
en- different varieties finding them
wholesome and delightful.
1t was the country darkey to whom
they belonged as of right. Neve:. a
land owner in all this Southland was

he had any vested or prescriptive
rights to the blackberry vines which
wove themselves along the rail fence.

rich largess when spring rounded in

wild as the crab and Sweet as re-
membered kisses,' was in the cate
CORY with dogs-valuable, but not
property.
It was the spontaneous usufrust
which belonged to all the people, and
most especially to the country negro.
The news that the blackberry crop
had failed would have created greater
CONSERVATION and infinitely greater
hardship than the failure of the Bar
ings or the arrest of the tide.
The beauty of it all was that it was
a crop which never failed. 1t could
be relied upon with the implicit faith
we place in Johnson grass
Nor has it failed yet; but the trag-
edy of it all is that a parasite-the
ever present and all devouring-ha
made it's appearance, and this para
site, it seems, is poisonous.
At any rate, the Louisiana negroes
are dead, after hearty al fresco
roadside.
We have scarcely caught up with
our sleep since the San Jose scale
gave us such jolt, when the staple
crop of the South seemed threatened.
What cotton is to the Southern negro
as raiment, the blackberry is as food
throughout the summer months. He
could lie down and rise up, and there
was no one to make him afraid of go
ing hungry SO long as the blackber-
pension bridge between the two ends
of the 'possum season.
And now this most delectable of
fruits, SO free and abundant, has fall

taminatiOn.
