FIGHTING RESUMED
BY MEXICAN REBELS
Peace Commission Hampered
tby Soldiers in Restoring
Order.

FL Paso, Tex-A telegram from
Maria, Tex, states that apprehension
and excitement prevails at both Pre-
sidio and Candelaria, 80 miles south
of the Texas side of the river, owing
to the revolutionary disorders re
ported on the Mexican side. Nothing
definite has yet been learned OF the
reported fight at Ojinaga Saturday
night Firing has been heard at in.
tervals, but so far as can be learned
there has been no loss of life.
Members of the peace commission
returning to chihuahua reported that
their work was greatly embarrassed
by the fact that soldiers followed al
their heels. AT Guerrero, just as they
were beginning to talk with the in.
surrectos, a peon arrived with word
that the soldiers were on the way.
whereupon the meeting promptly
came to an end.
Main Grievance Against State.
At Guerrero, and also at San Anto.
nio, the commissioners were told that
the main grievance is against the
state government rather than against
DiaZ.
Seemingly authentic reports state
that Guerrero has been taken by the
revolutionists with some loss of life.
Details are lacking. 1t is reported
that General Plata, commanding this
military zone, is to be succeeded by
General Juan Hernandez Immediately,
1t is learned that the peace com
mission which left Chihuahua to treat
with the insurrectos was acting un
der the authority of Governor San
chez, and not President Diaz.

NO BATTLEsHIP FLEET
Coast VIII Not Be Protected Until
Canal Opens.

Washington.-The Pacific Coast will
not get a battleship feet until the
Panama Canal is completed, accord
ing to the annual report of the Sec
retary of the Navy. This is reiter
alton Of statements made by Secre-
tary Meyer on his recent tour of the
Coast.
An equally important feature Of the
Secretsy's report is his free and frank
criticism OF the two nayy-yards on the
Pacific Coast, both Of which, in his
judgment, were poorly located, the
Puget Sound yard because Of its dis
tance from any large city, and the
Mare Island navy yard because of
shallow water, rendering it valueless
in the repair OF battleships and heavy
cruisers, and also because OF its re-
moteness from San Francisco.

Attempted.

Washington.-The sixty-first con-
gress assembled Monday for its final
session. Almost Immediately after
convening both houses followed the
custom of adiourning for one day out

members who have died during the
summer recess. Five senators and
three representatives have died since
the beginning of summer. Upon re-
assembling Tuesday the two houses
listened to the reading of the presi-
dents annual message.
The message was unusually long,
running from 10000 to 10000 words.
In a general way the president urged
upon congress the necessity for enact
ing legislation to build up the Ameri-
can merchant marine, to conserve the
natural resources of the country, to
provide a new form of government
for Alaska, to supplement and
strengthen" the Sherman antitrust
law, to enlarge the scope of the civil
service law, to create national bu.
reau of health, to provide Legislative
basis for workingmen's compensation

sued by federal courts, and to pro
mote closer commercial relations with
Canada The president also gave his
views in regard to the further regu
lation and control of corporations
engaged in interstate business ant
the regulation of the issue of stock;
and bonds of interstate railways.

until election and no one can say what
may happen in that time.
Do the sugar plantation barons,
the Republican bosses, the lords of
the earth, the "Few of U.s." think that
the voters of Hawaii are going to toler-
ate such methods long9 Are they so
blind that they cannot see the cloud
now considerably larger than mans
hand, that is looming on the political
horizon? Coercion and intimidation,
the last desperate weapons Of alright
ed Republicanism in Hawaii, will inevi-
tably prove to be boomerangs when the
voters have an opportunity, on the Sth
of next November, to say what they
think of such warfare.
: ::
Drunken men often speak the truth.
The funniest thing in the whole cam
paign so far is the squabble between
"T. R." and Lorrin Thurston. Each
inadvertently let slip few truths con-
corning Republicanism in Hawaii that
are rather illuminating. The editorial
brawl brings to mind once more the
slippery way in which Kuhio last July
managed to avoid taking a stand on the
prohibition question 1t took hard
work on the part of the Advertiser to
smoke him out and get him to tell in

REPUBLICANS RESORT TO DESPERATE MEASURES

Desperate in their extremity, fearful
of the wrath that is upon them the Re-
publicans have reachd the point of fol-
ly where they are resorting to coercion
and intimidation in hopeless attempt
to bolster up their losing cause. What
ever respect they may once have had
for law and decency has been sunk in
their straining efforts to win at any
cost and by any means.
Men in the employ Of Republican cor
porations have been threatened with
summary dismissal unless they would
promise to stop advocating the princi-
pies of Democracy. In it's folly and fat
uous tyrrany the Republican oligarchy
has gone even farther. Men who have
dared to oppose the selfish policy advo-
Gated by the sugar barons and their de-
pendents have actually been discharged
from their positions, on no ground other
than that they have refused to stand for
the evil conditions that now prevail in
this sugar-coated Territory.
Up to the present there have been no
reports of men being sandbagged or
dubbed for advocating Democracy and
refusing to accept the dictates of those
who, by virtue of their inflated bank ac-
counts, own the Territory of Hawaii
and juggle with the rights Of it's citi-
zens, but it is nearly three weeks yet

REPUBLICANS INADVERTENTLY TELL DAMAGING TRUTHS

"What we want here is white labor,
white, white, WHITE to compete with
Hawaiians," declared Republican Or
ator on the stump at Moiliili last We'd
nesday evening. "We want white i'm
migrants. do you hear me +? white, White,
WHITE!"
The Republicans are unfortunate
enough to have selected as one OF their
campaign orators man who, in certain
moments of eXhilaration, tells the truth
and it is the truth that hurts the Re-
publican party. 1t is the truth that
they can't stand, and Judge w. H.
Stanley's speech at Moiliili, in which
he did the unprecedented thing, for a
Republican, of telling the truth, has
damaged the Republican cause more
than anything the Democrats would
have thought Of saying.
Judge Stanley's speech was illumi-
mating as defining exactly what the Re-
publican policy, as dictated by the
special interests, really is. The judge
appeared on the stand attired in a dress
suit, having just come from banquet,
and Immediately began to make his Re-
publican brethren squirm. He stated
that he was an Englishman born, but
was an American citizen because he
couldn't help it, having been made
voter by virtue of the annexation of
Hawaii to the United States He SEEM
ed to regret this very much, but was
ready to bear the ignominy with Christ
ian resignation. At the same time, he
commiserated with the Hawaiians for
having been involved in the same ca
lamity
Then Mr.. Stanley turned his atten-
ton to the Republican candidate for
county treasurer ''The reason Mr..
Trent has been elected three times run
ming" he said. sis because the Republic
cans have never before put up decent
man against him. Which is extreme
ly complimentary to Harry Won Holt,
Fred Waterhouse, George Beckley, and
the late Charles Booth all of whom
have been candidates on the Republi-
can ticket for the treasurership and
three of whom are yet regarded as Re-
publican Warehouses; "We have never
before had decent candidate for the
office" repeated Judge Stanley, "but
this time we have"
1.-The Republican candidate for the
treasurership, gentlemen, is not Chris
tian He is not Methodist or a Baptist
or Mormon or an Episcopalian or of
any other God-damned religion. There
fore you ought to vote for him
By this time the Republican leaders
on the platform and in the audience
were frantic and were trying by every

means in their power to make Stanley
shut up, but he was wound up and re-
fused to pay any attention to their
kicks, stage whispers, Mortified coun-
tenances and other strong hints, but
sailed gaily ahead with his damning
truths.
"We want white labor here, to COM
pete with the Hawaiians," he con-
tinucd, whereat several native voters
snorted and left the meeting in enlight-
ened disgust. "We don't want people
of other nationalities we want whites,
whites, WHITES! And if you want
white labor, you must vote for the
white candidates and get white labor
to compete with the Hawaiians"
Whereat several of the candidates
and all the party leaders threw several
different kinds Of fits.
Bob Single, candidate for the treas
urership, arrived hurriedly, explaining
as, attired still in an overcoat, he took
his place on the platform, that he didn't
know what the people of Moiliili want
ed him to talk about, as he was late,
having just come from a fine dinner.
But, Mr. Single, too, told one truth
that. while unintentional is likewise il
Illuminating.
"The Republican party" he said, is
the only party in Hawaii that has ever
represented the interests
"You're right yelled the Demo-
Gratis, who constituted most Of the au-
dience. "The Republican party repre-
sents the special interests. "
Mr.. Single and Judge Stanley each
told the truth concerning the aims and
ambitions of the Republican party, but
they are each due for severe call
down from the party managers, for the
truth is something that the Republicans
in this campaign cannot afford to tell.
Better can they afford to follow the
example set by Norman Watkins at
the meeting at which he spoke, where
he contented himself by applying the
epithet "liar' to every Democrat
whose name he mentioned. Fred Tur-
rill was liar, Link McCandless was a
liar. R. HI. Trent liar, all Democrats
were liars, according to Mr.. Watkins
And this was about the extent of his
magnificent oratory
1t has not yet been learned whether
or not E. d. Tenney has done this year
as he did two years ago-sent out let
tiers to all the plantation managers, or
dering them to elect Mr.. Watkins
"Mr. Watkins must be elected" wrote
Mr.. Tenney, during the last campaign
and Mr.. Tenney's letters defeated
