ed in the grounds of the capitol this
morning.
Several called on the Secretary of
the Territory, E. "A. Mott-Smith,
and pretended to exhibit wounds
which they alleged were the result
of being lashed last night when they
attacked the police station in an
abortive attempt to rescue Naseleff,
their anarchistic leader.
Mott-Smith fearlessly informed
the scum" that the police were
within their rights. The towards
had held their children up for their
own protection when the police
charged, after playing the hose on
them.
Mott-Smith gave them no salts
faction. There is talk of the Rus
slams again trying this evening to
rescue from Jail their violent leader
vasilieff or ''vasiline," as he is
affectionately called by the police.
1t is well for the Russians oknow
that whereas last evening they were
met only with whips and water, if
they persist they will be shot down
| like dogs, for the police will not
argue with them. Revolvers will be
used in the next riot.
| If they are ours enough to use
their children as shields, their chill
dren are likely to be taken from
them while they themselves are cast
into jail.
The situation is growing serious.
There is likely to be fight between
the Russians and the police. The
police will win. There will be
dead Russians The problem of how
or why they came here will be set
tleu AT Ine morSue.
Jarrett, who has had stirring ex-
perience with the Japanese, is wide
awake. He will order his men to
shoot to kill. The Russians have
defied the community. They are
worse than vagrants, They are des-
peradoes. Some are supposed to be
preparing bombs for explosion in
!, the police department.
, With the exception of a few
groups of men talking, with ami
mated gestures, everything is quiet
over at the Russian camp at Iwilei.
Women, children and their lazy
and indolent husbands are smoking
and drinking around the filthy
camp which they call home, and,
} Judging from words caught here and
J there, they intend to make some
effort tonight to see their deliverer
and martyr Vasilietf.
Some of the Russians are working
along Queen street, digging and
clearing off rocks on the property
Just mauka of the Inter-Island
!, wharyes, while a good number OF
them are working on the Japanese
steamer Manshu Maru, which is
alongside of the railroad wharf.
t The inspectors, under the direc'
: ton of the city and county, are
watching very carefully for any
. outbreak of trouble, and only deplo'
macy saved the day this morning
: when several men, who were walk
1 ing along near the camp were taker
for police officers and several of the
y hardest looking characters among
the Russians made an attempt t,
corner them, evidently meaning t.
: cause them trouble.
