OUTRAGE ON CONSUL.


Though he laughed at the absurdity
of his being supposed to have advis-
ed the planters not to yield to Jap
anese strikers leal by anarchists .
and then to have reported such sup
posed action to his home government,
the Consul, this morning, was never
theless highly indignant at what he
considers an outrage on truth and the
dignity of the consulate, and, if it
| lies in his power, he will ascertain
the origin of what he believes to be
! maliciously deliberated fake and the
scandalous use of his name and office
| to gain some end by creating a false
| impression. In pointing out the fool
ishness of the idea that he would
make any such report as that with
which he is accused, the Consul is
not ignorant of the fact that such
report if had it been made would
work to the injury of everybody con-
cerned, planters and strikers alike, so
whether or not the fake was deliberat-
ed with intent to effect some end
through supposed official sentiment, it

WHAT MAKING SAYS.
Fred Maxine declared early this
morning, before the consul was seen,
that the cable dispatch published in
this mornings Advertiser was a fake;
nor had he seen the Consul when he
made the statement. He went on to
say that he and his associates are
daily in receipt of cable advices from
Japan and, incidentally, that the lead
ers of the higher wage movement
here are daily advised by cable Of the
doings of w. r. Castle who is repre-
senting the planters. to some extent
at Toxic. 1t was announced yester-
day that Castle would call at the for
eign Office and Maxine hints that some
perhaps misunderstood interview with
Castle after call at the foreign Of
flee in Toxic led to the dispatch which
this morning appears in the Adver-
tiser.
LABOR UNION PROJECT.
While Maxine will neither admit
Tor deny the statement, II is declared
by other Japanese that the plans OF
the leaders of the Higher Wage AS
ISOLATION are, as soon as possible, to

which would mean an annual revenue
in fees alone of at least $4,000. Ma.
