TROUBLE FEARED
IN FAR EAST

VICTORIA, b. c., June 10.-Russia
continues her coercive policy toward
China, but the latter empire is max
ing a show of resistance, according
to newspapers brought by the EN-
press of Japan tonight. 1t Is expect
ed that Russia will soon occupy
Kuldja. The Tokyo Yomiuri says
that although China has conceded TO
Russia the demands regarding Iii,
promises made in the treaty have
been unfulflled, and Russia has de-
termined to send an armed force to
Iii. and, instead of undertaking fur
Their negotiations, dispatched a note
to Picking stating the reason for oc-
cupying the territory The Japanese
papers say this step was decided up
on by Russian War Minister Sukhom
likoff after interviews with officials
in Russian Asia. The Yomiuri says:
"From the fact that the Russian
authorities continue to dispatch
troops to the Russo-Chinese frontiers,
1t is to be feared that the situation
may assume a serious aspect at any
time"
An order for compulsory training
by Russian residents of the maritime
provinces has been issued by the mil.
itary governor, all residents who have
not served with the colors being or
dored to train.

LONDON. June 1.-THE great
naval review by King George at Spit

the most powerful, up-to-date battle
ship participating in the review, the
Delaware, which is considered in ma
val circles to typify the latest ideas
of battleship construction. The sys-
TEN adopted in her case of placing
the five trurrets in single line is
being followed in all the new battle
ships Of the British fleet.
No less than ten battleships of the
Dreadnought class will be brought
into line on the review day. These
are the Colossus, Hercules, Neptune,

other officials in a conference with
the war minister to discuss the stu
alton. Guchkoff states that China is
making rapid progress and in ten
years will become the most powerful
country in the Far East, and a con-
tlict with Russia is inevitable sooner
or later.
That China's attitude toward for
eign Intervention is becoming holder
is evident from Tientsin dispatches,
which state that Chao Fir Hsun, the
new Viceroy of Manchuria, has deter
mined to station six army divisions
in Manchuria and to commence con-
struction of the Kinchou and Aigun
railroad, to which Japan and Russia
objected strongly some time ago.
A portion of the new loan will be
devoted to this work and to making

LIVELY POLICE COURT ARGUMENT
OVER CHAUFFEUR'S ASSAULT CASE

An ordinary assault and battery case,
in which a plea of guilty was entered
occupied the attention of the police
court for close upon half-an-hour yester-
day morning before contending counsel
left the matter to the decision of the
Judge. Attorney NJ. F. Prosser and E.
c. Peters wrangled over the matter
at great speed, Peters alleging irreg-
ularities in procedure and commend
ing the enthusiasm displayed by Pros
ser and the latter presenting his
clients case with some heat.
Peters appeared for the defendant,
+. Shaner, foreman of the Won Hamm-
Young garage, who was charged with
assaulting Bruno Habeler, George R.
Carriers chauffeur. The case was first
before the court Wednesday gut was
continued for couple of days and in
the afternoon Shaner took out cross
summons against Habeler. Then it
was arranged to have the two cases
on yesterday, whereupon Shaner,
through his attorney, admitted his
guilt.
The Court not being familiar with
the facts, Deputy City and County At
tOrney Brown suggested that Habeler
take the stand and state what had
happened, but to this Peters strenu-
ously objected, remarking that it was
unusual for the court, after taking
plea of guilty, which in the present
case was forced, to proceed to try the
case.
Are you better?" asked Prosser as
Peters stopped.
/ 1T is not a question of feeling bet
ter" retorted Peters. THE PROPOSE
ton is that we want to stand on our
rights"
"All right, you go ahead and stand
on Them" said Prosser. He then went
on to say that the question before the
court was one of sentence only but
that it was necessary for the court
to know something about the case
and he was not in a position to tell
Brown-'It is not an unusual pro
ceeding; it is done all the time here.
Habeler Got His.
Habeler then told of the assault
which took place in the garage, whittier
he had gone to have some repair.

All the vessels at the review, in
Guiding the foreign warships and pas
senger ships, with spectators, will be
moored in lines, supplemented by
shorter lines for the torpedo boats
and submarines. The boundaries OF
the review ground inclose an area OF
about eighteen square miles. There
will be 10 British war vessels of va.
rious types present.
The King and Queen will pass
through the lines on board the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, which will
be accompanied by two other royal
yachts, the Alexandra and the
Alberta.
AS the royal yacht approaches each
vessel in the line a salute will be
fired, and at the same time the shore
batteries will join in the greeting.

HOW A DEBATE OF YEARS ON
DIRECT ELECTION Of SENATORS
WAS ENDED IN THE SENATE

such State shall issue writs of cleo
ton to fill such vacancies; Provided
that the Legislature of any State may
empower the executive thereof to
make temporary. appointments until
the people fill the vacancies by cleo
ton as the Legislature may direct
This amendment shall not be con-
strued as to effect the election or
term of any Senator chosen before it
becomes valid as part of the Consti-
tuition"
The amended resolution now will
go into conference between the SEN
ate and House, and some Senators
predict that the House will refuse to
accept it.
Senator Reed of Missouri protested
against the Vice-President casting
his deciding vote. An amendment by
Senator Bacon in qualifying the Bris-
tow amendment to prohibit Federal
supervision of election unless the
state Legislature refused or failed to
act was defeated, 46 to 49. The res
olution, as amended, was finally
adopted, Ga to "a. +
Having determined to vote today on
the resolution looking to the election
of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people, the Senate devot-
ed its undivided attention to that sub
ject throughout the day and when
night fell was in such a maze of
speechmaling that there seemed a
prospect for the indefinite prolonga-
ton of the session.
The debate began shortly before
noon. 1t drifted into political af-
fair. Democratic Senators criticised
Senator Bristow's change of attitude,
Bristow framed the principal amend
ment in the nature of a substitute
to the main proposition and sought
to continue the supervision of Sena-
torial eelctions in Congress instead of
delegating it to the states as propos-
ed by the House resolution.
In the last session the Kansas SEN
ator voted against an amendment Of
fered by Senator Sutherland of Utah,
which would have had the same effect
as his own provision of this session.
Bristow said that in both instances
his attitude had been dictated by his
desire to do that which most certainly
would insure the success of the pop
ular-election resolution.
Borah, in charge of the resolution,
spoke in support of it, and Bacon op-
posed the Bristow amendment.
Davis of Arkansas arraigned Bris-
tow Referring by name to Senators
Cummins, Clapp and La Toilette, he
declared the insurgent crowd never
have been sincere on any subject it
has brought before the country"
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-06-23

WASHINGTON, June 70. - The
Senate tonight, by GA to "a, passed
the resolution amending the Consti-
tuition to provide for the election of
Senators by direct popular vote. The
Bristow amendment giving to the
Fedeyal Government Supervision of
such elections, was adopted, 40 to A,
the Vice-President casting the decid-
ing ballot. The House already has
passed the resolution.
Adoption of the Bristow amend
ment, which omitted the House pro
vision transferring supervision of
Senatorial elections from Congress to
the state Legislature, was made pos
sible by Clarke of Arkansas casting
the only Democratic vote for the prop
osition. The tie on that ballot
would have been prevented if his vote
had been cast with his party, with
which he later voted on adoption OF
the resolution.
On this first ballot five Republi-
cans, Borah, Grenna, La Toilette,
Poindexter and Works. all insurgents
voted against the proposition. On
the resolution as amended the vote
Ga to "a, was six more than the nee.
essary two-thirds majority. OF the
twenty-four negative votes eight were
cast by Democrats and sixteen by Re-
publicans as follows:
Republicans-Brandegee, Burnham
Crane, Dillingham;, Gallinger, Hep
burn, Lippitt, Lodge, Lorimer, Oliver,
Page, Penrose, Richardson, Root,
Smoot and Wetmore.
Democrats - Bacon, B n k h a d,
Fletcher, Foster, Johnston, Percy,
Terrell and Williams.
The resolution, as amended and
passed, follows:
THAT in lieu of the first para
graph of section of article 1 of the
Constitution of the United States,
and in lieu of so much of paragraph
of the same section as relates to the
filling of vacancies, the following be
proposed as an amendment to the
Constitution, which shall be valid to
all intents and purposes on the part
of the Constitution when ratified by
the legislatures Of three-fourths of
the States:
THE Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two Senators
from each State, elected by the peo-
pie thereof, for six years; and each
Senator shall have one vote. The
electors in each state shall have the
qualification requisite for electors of
the most numerous branch of the
State legislatures.
when vacancies happen in the
representation of any state in the
Senate, the executive authority OF
