WASHINGTON, MAY %. - Vice
President James Schoolcraft Sherman is
winning golden opinions in Washington
and elsewhere for the very loyal and
persistentIv loyal support he is giving
his one official superior, President Taft.
In the history of Presidents and Vice
Presidents during the last fifty years,
there is no instance where Vice Presi-
,fsht has maintained more cordial rala-
tiOns with the White House or where he
has labored more aggrcssively to pro-
mote the popularity of the White House
occupant.
Although the spring is yet young, the
Vice President has been out on several
speaking trips, where he is discussing
politics pure and simple, and telling the
people the kind cf man they have for
President. He is consistently the Presi-
dent 5 friend, and believes that the
country does not fully appreciate the
worth of the man VINO now holds the
helm of state. He is also speaking up
for the tariff law but in fact has hardly
more than begun his efforts on both
those lines. The Republican leaders are
placing great emphasis upon the i'm
portance of the work that the Vice
President is doing and is planning to
do between now and next November
First and foremost, Vice President
sherman Is a party man. That IS one
reason why he is willing to 90 out upon
the hustings and do all he can to ward
off the overwhelming defeat which 50
many Rpuhicans are now prophesylng
in their hours Of discouragement. His
predecessor, Nico-PresideRt Fairbanks,
too was a party man, and he did all he
could for the advancement of party IN
terests. but President Roosevelt treated
him so rudely and inconsiderateIy that

ALMOST KILLED BY
KICK BY A MULE

Thrown and kicked by a mule, a Por-
tuguese water luna of Laie plantation
is lying at the point of death in the
plantation camp, 1t is possible that he
has already succumbed to his injuries,
definite information last night being i'm
possible to obtain, as there is no nearer
telephone than Waialua on one side and
kahana on the other.
Besides the fact that the injured man 5
first name is Louis, his identity can not
be learned until the officers report
comes in from the plantation. He is a
professional rider and was giving an
exhibition at the time he was injured.
The rider picked out an unbroken
mule, which had a reputation of being
particularly intractabIe creature, and
was riding it about the camp when the
animal bucked him off, and turning ON
him kicked him. He was horribly
wounded by the animal hoots, and
would no doubt have been killed on the
spot had not hystanders driven the
beast off

ASSURANCES FROM PEKING
Government Will Be Able This
Time to Prevent Serious
Trouble.

BROOKLYN, New York, June g.
Prince Tsai Tao, uncle of the emperor
of China, who IS here as visitor, has
received from Picking cable confirmation
of the press reports of the imminent
danger of a violent antiforeign outbreak
in Marking.
His cable from the Chinese capital
says, however, that the fears are exag-
gerated and that the government will
be able to handle the situation and con-
troll any outbreak that may occur.
The prince is advised that the i'm
perial government is thoroughly warned
of the threatened outbreak which has
SO stirred the foreign legations in
Picking, and that the Chinese forei On
office has notified the governments that
it expects to be able to prevent a repe-
titiOn of the Boxer outrages.
Precautions have been taken by the
Chinese authorities, and Prince Tao
says he does not expect serious trouble.

WASHINGTON. May 23.-Congress

chiefly between san Francisco and New
Orleans. neither of which is asking the
government for any money-oh, no. but
simply for a little bit Of legislation
designating the city as the official
Panama Canal Exposition City, where
upon the city's public spirited citizens

The oldsters in Washington know
very well that that is only the prologue
to the play The time has gone by
when congress can easily be brought
to vote money directly for an exposi-
ton. That plea was worn out long ago
when the leaders in the senate and
house began to cry out, whenever ap-
preparations in aid of expositions were
preached, "Never again.
