Balloons and EaqIes.

A book has been disc overed in Wen
ma bearing on its title page this legend:
About the invention of air navigation
by means of balloons and eagles. by
Iakob KieSerer: published at the ex-
pense of the author by Herr Loeschen-

an elaborate treatise on aviation in
which n balloon is steered through the

and deprived of their talons." Minute
instructions are given as to how the
birds should be harnessed, and sugges-
lions are made us TO the employment
Of double teams and relays. The au-

Knox Wants Share For Us.

There are several other questions of
minor Importance as compared with
the two problems now engaging the at
tention of the department officers. Sec

rotary Knox is especially interested in
oriental politics. An era of wonderful
commercial development is now begin
ming in China. During the next few
decades many miles of railroads will
be constructed Mr.. Knox is credited
with the determination that American
merchants and capitalists shall have a
fair share in the commercial and in
dustrial awakening of the Celestial EN-
pire.
That Mr. Knox intends to pursue an
aggressive policy in the orient was evil
dent from the manner in which he in
sisted that the United States should
| have an original share i'll the Hankow-
| Szechuen railroad loan. which was ne
gotiated secretly for the benefit of
British. German and French capital
isis.
The interests of the American group
of bankers who are seeking opportuni-
ties for investment in China are in the
hands of Willard ID. Straight, who
left the office of American consul gen
eral at Mukden to become the Pelin
representative of the American Syndi-
cate Several months ago the .lapa
neSe government blocked the efforts OF
British capitalists to construct 4 rail
road from Hsinmuntun to Fakumen. III
Manchuria On Sept. 4 last an agree
ment was signed at DalnY by which
China promised. in the event of under
taking to construct Il railway between
these two points. TO arrange the mat
ter previously with Japan.
British and Americans Together.
Blocked in this effort. the British
capitalists allied themselves with the
American syndicate and proposed the
construction of a railway from Chin
chowfu TO Tsitsihar. with an extension
later to Aigun. So far the Chinese
government has not approved this pro-
gram. According TO press dispatches
from Pekin. the Japanese government
has served notice upon China that il
reserves the right to be copsulted with
respect to the proposed railway. The
line of the proposed road between Chin
chowfu and Tsitsihar is in the extreme
western part of Manchuria. outside of
what is regarded as the Japanese
sphere of influence.
Though both terminals will be in
Manchuria. considerable portion OF
the road will run through Mongolia,
the province west of Manchuria. The
importance of the proposed line lies
in that it will connect at Tsitsihar
with the Transsiberian railroad. The
Japanese, it was said. were apprehen-
siye that this read would divert traffic
coming from Europe over the Trans
siberian railroad from the South Man
churian railroad. which is Japanese
enterprise.
Secretary Knox personally is seruti-
nizing the recent treaty between China
and Japan regarding the development
of mines in Manchuria. Copies of this

There's n man in New York city who

His name is withheld So is the name

with the million to give away says he
wants to donate it to charitable in
stitution in New York state or in New
Jersey. He has no preference.
Secretary Hill of the department of
charities said that he had answered
the lawyers letter. He pointed out
carefully how any one or all of the
charitable institutions of this state
would be grateful for the gift. Secre-
tary Hin urged the lawyer to COM
municate with the president of the
state board of charities, William r.
Stewart. who is ready to explain to
the philanthropist how he can most
expeditiously contribute his money.
Secretary Hill said nothing in his let

Some Facts Regarding Rela-

BROUGHT UP BY CRANE CASE
About to Protest Against Agreement
Shutting Us Out of Certain
Manchurian territory.

The enforced resignation of Charles
r. Crane after he had been appointed
minister to China. on the ground that
he had divulged the views of the state
department regarding the relations of
China and Japan, has served to call
attention to those relations and to the
American policy in Asia.
1t is known that the railroad and
mining situation in Manchuria is I'M
dergoing special Investigation by high
officials of the state department as a
preparatory measure to determining
what shall be the attitude of the Unit
ed States government in several i'm
portant diplomatic questions which will
become the subject of official eX-
changes within the next few months.
One of these questions will arise out of
the efforts of Il syndicate of American
and British capitalists to build rail
way in western Manchuria from Chin
chowfu to Tsitsihar Another question
for determination is whether certain
exclusive mining concessions recently
obtained by Japan from China are in
violation of the "open door" policy for
which the United States has stood
sponsor since John Hays service as
secretary of state.

Absolutely no motive is known for
the crime. The woman. so far as
Judge Lindsay knows, has been a

Hendricks, and Tanaka IS the man who
is suspected Of having killed her. mr.
Hendricks was summoned to Judge
Lindsay's house last night to see
whether or not he could identify the
man, but was unable to do so with
anv positiveness, largely on account OF
the fact that the murderer was SO pale

by Coroner Rose today to sit on the
murder this evening. The verdict, how
ever. is merely matter of form.
What were the motives that prompt
cd the crime can only be eonjeetured,
but jealousy is a safe guess. The
crime. bloody though it is, does noA
differ greatly from others which have
occurred here. of which both victim
and murderer were Japanese. The act
was committed in typically Oriental
manner. cold bIoodedfy and without ap-
parent regard for subsequent eonse-
ouences.

BANANAS PILED UP
ON ALAMEDA'S DECK
The Popular Ocean Liner Departs
With Banner Load of
Freiuht.

Bananas, thousands Of punches of the
luscious Island variety, caused a delay
in the departure Of the Oceanic liner
Alameda for San Francisco yesterday
morning. the steamer not getting away
from her dock until quarter to twelve.
The bananas were so numerous that the
deck space had to be invaded and
punches were piled up along the prom
enade deck, leaving barely enough
room for people to enter and leave
stateroOm doors.
The Alameda left here with a cargo
of about 1000 tons of Island products.
She carried away the largest single
shipment ever made of canned and fresh
pineapples, about $4,000 cases of the
canned variety being entered on her
manifest She also carried several
thousand bags Of sugar, rice and coffee.
II was a banner load, and much freight
SWas left behind. On her last trip down
bom San Francisco the Alameda was
compelled to leave about five hundred
tons of freight behind
She carried fair sized list of pas
sengers. Among those aboard were Mr..
and Mrs J. NJ Callow of Salt Lake
City. Mrs. Callow and children have
been visiting in Kona with Rev. and
Mrs D. Douglass Wallace of the Epis-
capal church there. Mr.. Callow is a
mining man. Both of them wished to
remain here longer but business called
Mr.. Callow back. They will return
again next year. Chas Albright. for
