THE KAHULUI
LEADERS, STRIKE

WAILUKU. December 22.-Tuesday
night gang of nen at work on the
lighters loading sugar on board the
Lurline refused to continue after six
o'clock They left the sugar unprotect-
ed and refused to even close the
matches. 1t has been customary when
a ship was loading in port to work
overtime, for which men we're, OF
course, paid extra.
When the men were lined up for
work Wednesday morning, William
Robb the luna in charge, was reading
the riot act to the men who had so un-
tremendously left their work the
night before, when Superintendent
Williams happened along. This was
the first inkling Mr.. Williams had of
any trouble. He was informed of the
conditions and told the men in plain
words that he wanted men who were
willing to work and give the company
square deal, and not walk off uncere-
moniously without any notification
whatever. If they were willing to DO
that they could go to work, otherwise.
/ they had better go home The men
decided they would 20 home.
/ Mr.. Williams states that the men
have made no demands, and so far as
he knew had no grievance, and he
considers their action of Tuesday
night in going away and leaving the
sugar exposed to the weather as un-
princpled to say the least
The railroad company has made az
engagements to handle the sugar ship
ments and will get along without the
men who have walked out. Mr.. Will
Jams is fully prepared TO load the Co
lumbar, which is the next ship to ar
rive.
On the other hand, the men say they
did not leave their work without the
permission of the luna. They say it
has been customary for them to work
till seven o'clock or later without their
supper They objected to this and told
the luna so, and received his permits
sion to go home.
The men say they have nc. grievance
against the railroad, but that the luna
tod the men one thing and then told
Mr.. Williams another. The matter will
probably be amicably settled next
week. Practically all the men who
walked out live in Waikiki.

THE STRUGGLE
OVER KUKAIAU

Albert Horner and the Kukaiau
plantation filed in the circuit court
Friday an answer to the petition
brought by Robert Homer for writ
Of mandamus to compel the calling
Immediately of an annual meeting of
the stockholders. In his answer AL
bert HorneT states that the regular
date for the annual meeting is Febru-
airy 26, and says that this has been
the date since 1902. He further claims
that at annual meetings held on the
date mentioned both he and his broth
er have had their salaries raised from
time to time and have accepted the
| increases.
The respondent alleges that, at the
request of Robert Horner and two
other stockholders, he called a special
meeting for December 3, but that none
of the three who asked that the meet
ing be called was present. At that
time he issued call for an annual
meeting, to be held February &c.
A. Haneberg, in the answer filed by
him, says it would take six weeks to
make an inventory of stock and equip
ment of the plantation so that the fig
ures could be available for presenta-
ton at the annual meeting. 1t would
be impracticable to hold the meeting
in December.

ALL AMERICANS IN
CHINA ARE ORDERED
TO THE SEAPORTS
Legation at Peking Fears
Outbreak by the Anti
Foreign Element.

BY authority of the State Department,
the United States Legation at Peking
has ordered all Americans today to
leave the interior Of China for the sea-
ports. This means that the anti-foreign
sentiment is rising all over the empire
and that the legation officials in Picking,
as well as the department officials here,
fear another repetition of the Boxer
horrors.
Should this outbreak come, and the
lives of American and other foreign
missionaries be placed in jeopardy, not
only will the 5000 American troops now
at Manila be sent to China, but a part
of the Pacific feet, now mobilizing at
San Francisco for the Hawaiian cruise
will be dispatched to the scene.
At the State Department today the
fact that all Americans In the interior
were ordered to hurry to the seaports
of China was known, but there was no
comment. The hope is entertained at
the department that no serious danger
to foreigners will result from the reVo-
luton. So far nothing has been per-
mitted by either the revolutionists or
the imperialists to which foreign gov
ernments could take exception. All for
eign interests have been carefully
guarded by both parties.
There are now evidences, however
that the Chinese populace in many sec
tions is getting beyond restraint and
that an attack upon foreigners may be
looked for at almost any hour.

Soon after arrival the State Depart
nent will take UP with the new am
bassador the question Of abrogating the
treaty Of 1882 between Russia and the
United States. This will be sought with
the hope Of bettering the condition OF
nationalized American Hebrews seeking
to visit Russia.
Through its strict Interpretation OF
the existing treaty, the Russian gov
ernment has made no discrimination in
treatment between resident Hebrews in
Russia and naturalized men of that
faith going back to visit their old

by the later declines. In word the
