Shanghai Boy Going Home on

Z. w. Carmichael, erstwhile student
at Niles College, not far from San
Jose, California, and until yesterday
bound for his home in Shanghai on his
annual vacation of few months. claims
that Mr.. Misfortune took huge run
and jump at him yesterday. And
thereby hangs a tale. For the Togo

sailed away for the Land of the Rising

was the passenger.

tradition, were buried in the city when
the residents fed.
The name of the city is, translated,
"Cradle of Gold" and Peruvian ira

ruin of buried treasure.

STRIkEBREAkERS
IN ANGRY MOOD
Some Disappointed Stevedores
Wanted Pay for Not
Working.

About three hundred Hawaiians
massed around R. D. Mead of the
Planters Association at the Oahu
Railroad depot shortly after 5o'elock
yesterday afternoon and two or three
disorderly ones threatened him.
The crowd roared and surged. but
in the end Mr.. Mead smiled and
finally the mass melted away before

L. c. Atkinson, former secretary of
the Territory.
One burly Hawaiian, slightly under
the influence of liquor, shook his fist
almost under the nose of Mr.. Mead.
While he was talking loudly and
gesticulating, Jack, who had just ar
rived from Pearl City, stepped along
side Mr. Mead, reached up and took
the fist and shook it gently, saying,
Aloha, old man, aloha The jolly
smile on Jacks face would have
melted anything, and when the Ha.

smiled. too.
1t seems that yesterday morning a
large number of Hawaiians were
polled to work as stevedores in un-
loading cargo from the steamship
Manchuria. The vessel was expected
to arrive early yesterday morning. Ir
some way or another the rumor went
among the men, who have been work
ing as strikebreakers and were ready
TO go to the plantations yesterday
that if the Manchuria did not arrive

Therefore at o'clock the three
hundred gathered at the Oahu Rail
road depot. The Manchuria was theT
about to enter the harbor. After theil
first interview with Mr.. Mead, they
learned that no such promise had beer
made. They became angry. They
said they could have worked as strike
breakers and earned their $1.5o, blu
now they were juggled out of it. The.
also threatened to boycott the Man
churia and tie her up.
The crowd was somewhat excited
during all this parleying. When the!

NEW HAVEN, May ga food of
light is to be she'd on the civilization
of the Ineas from the discoveries made
by Dr. Hiram Bingham of Yale. With
his secretary, Clarence Hay, son of the
late John Hay, he has been the first
foreigner, the first real explorer, to
penetrate into the hidden city, Choq-
quequirau.
Secure, since the conquest of the
Spaniards, in mountain. Businesses,
$4,000 feet above the sea level, the
city is almost an impregDable fortress.
90 A frontier town. DR.. Bingham calls
it. Here the Incas defended the ap-
proach to their territory till they de-
eided to abandon it TO the Spaniards.
For four centuries the deserted vii
lage has lain undisturbed. Shut eff
from Peruvian civilization, almost at
its feet, by a raging torrent, the city
slumbered as the decades grew into
centuries. There is no attempt chron-
icled to reach it till about 1880. Since
that time there have been four. One
man reached the ruins, but found
neither food nor water and withdrew
hastily.

EVA STRIKERS
RETURN To
WORK
Another Waialua Section
Deserts MakinO.--
More Threats.

Nearly fourteen hundred men and
women returned to work in the mill and
fields of Eva plantation yesterday
morning when the whistle blew, and
that whistle sounded the death-knell of
the general strike which the Higher
Wage Association has been running for
more than a month.
At four clock in the afternoon the
latorers, men and women, came in from
their work, passed by the pay office
window, presented their "bangle'
numbers and received their envelopes
containing the wages due them until
May pa, the date on which they struck.
Had the laborers not returned to work
yesterday, payday would have been de-
ferred until today at noon, when, with
the receipt of their envelopes, they
would have been required to leave the
plantation quarters in which they live.
One of the most significant phases of
the return of the Eva laborers to work
is the fact that the strike fund of about
$4,000 raised among themselves, and
which was deposited to their own credit
as a strike maintenance fund, will be
redistribnted among the contributors.
This means that the strikers are in
earnest in their return to work and no
further walkout is anticipated from the
laborers on this plantation.
At Waialua yesterday morning the
former strikers of the Mokuleia section
returned to their tasks, about 400 in
all. These, in addition to the several
hundred men of the Kawailoa section,
who went to work few days ago, make
very fine showing, and from reports
received from Waialua last evening
many more may get back this morning.
Meetings were being held last night and
the result of the strike at Eva was to
have been retailed to the former
laborers.
Late yesterday afternoon a hurry
call for police came from Aiea planta-
tion, to which Captain Baker and de-
tail of police responded, being convey
ed thither in an auto by@R D. Mead of
the Planters Association. On arrival
the police learned from Manager Ross

HAWAII At
WASHINGTON
Correspondent Walkers Letter
on Things of Local
Interest.
BY Ernest G.. Walker.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 81
Almost any day now the withdrawal
of George w. Woodruff's name as
nominee for second district judge of
Hawaii is expected from the White
House. 1t is understood that recon-
mendations. which the President will
honor, favor the nomination of A G.
NJ. Robertson for the judgeship in Mr..
Woodruff's place.
This outcome is understood here to
be the result chiefly of the decision
of the Judiciary subcommittee to
stand by the word of Delegate Kali
anianaole with reference to the con-
firmation of Mr.. Woodruff. The sub
committe resented the fact that Mr..
Woodruff was apparently a Roose-
welt bequest and that he was APP
pointed without having secured any
endorsements from any one in Ha-
waii who was particularly interested
in having him come there. The en-
dorsement of Governor Frear was in
terpreted as being due to the urgent
requests of some of Mr.. Woodruff S
influential friends.
The subcommittee has no question
whatever as to Mr.. Woodruff's hon
esty and of his efficiency as a public
official but, at the same time, there
was feeling that his public service
and also his career, before he entered
the public service, were not especially
OF character to qualify him for the
Federal bench.
Pearl Harbor Drydock.
The second opening of bids for the
drydock at Pearl Harbor has taken
place at the Navy Department, since
the departure of the last mail for
Honolulu. The Bureau of Yards and
Docks has made no award yet, but
it is probable that the contract viii
go to the San Francisco Bridge Com
pany, whose bid was 81, 100000. The
disposition at the Department is to
take this as the lowest responsible
bid, although Leech, of Boston, a
contractor at the Charleston Navy
Yard offered to do the work for half
a million dollars less The Depart

Detective Warning
 On Envelope Game

The detective department issues a warning just at this time for people to beware of the so-called envelope game which it has reason to fear may be tried here again in the near future. This game IS usually worked by man who comes in and asks to have twen- ty dollar bill in exchange for $20 in small bills as he wants to send it away in a letter. He gets the twenty and passes over bills which on being count ed amount to but $19 and when told of this he expresses surprise and sug- gests that he go out and get the ex- tra dollar from the nearby man who sent him in. Meanwhile he has sealed the envelope. presumably containing the twenty dollar bill and taking the nineteen dollars gives the sealed en- velope to the victim to hold. He fails to come back and on opening the en- velope it is found that there is noth- ing but paper inside, the twenty dollar bill having gone with the man.

SEE THE FLEET.

The mighty fleet of warships assem- bled at New York for the Hudson Fulton Celebration attracts thousands and thousands of visitors each day. The Hudson River is thronged with excursion craft from early morning until well toward midnight, their decks crowded with sightseers. This gather ing of battleships the greatest of it's kind ever seen in the New World. is one of the most interesting spectacles of the Hudson-Fulton Celebration.
 That Bridgeport folks may have the opportunity to view the fleet. the steamer Bridgeport will make a special trip to New York next Sunday, stop ping at Pier 70, East River, and thence encircling the battleships
 The Bridgeport excursionists will be particularly interested in viewing the battleship Connecticut which but re- gently returned from her. round the world cruise. The Bridgeport in her voyage up the Hudson will pass very closely to the Connecticut and the other warships, enabling all the pas sengers to obtain an intimate view of the great ships.
 The trip will be of considerable edu- cational value to children. They will have the opportunity of comparing the fighting vessels of foreign countries with sthose of the United States.

NEGRO WHO WROTE SEVEN LANGUAGES
 DIES AT FIFTY
EDWARD S. STEPHENS HAD FOR YEARS CONDUCTED SCHOOL FOR COLORED CHILDREN OF CITY

COLORED CHILDREN OF CITY.
 A black man with a wonderful mind who has lived in partial obscurity in this city for several years, died yes terday at his home in Lafayette street. He was Edward s. Stephens, formerly of Georgetown, British Guiana, South America. He spoke fluently in five of the modern languages and was a splendid Greek and Latin scholar. For years he was an instructor in a col lege at Georgetown and why he came north he kept to himself. Coming from a country where the negro stands on an equal footing with the white man, when he 1mmigrated he came to Connecticut to avoid the chagrin he knew would be his if he went to any of the Southern States.
 He devoted his time to a little school he established in the old fashioned white house at the head of Gilbert street, in Lafayette street. It was for negro children, and Mrs. Stevens con ducted a school in domestic science for colored girls.
 Of his fine education he never made much use after coming to Bridgeport. Besides Greek and Latin, he could read and write in English, Spanish, Dutch, French and Portuguese. He had dreams of some day returning to Georgetown. He was an attendant at the First Baptist church and there were many members of the church so- ciety who knew of his attainments The deceased was 50 years of age and had been ill for several weeks. Be- sides a wife he is survived by a son.
