LORDS, BEATEN,
WILL SUBMIT

(By II. W. Massingham, Editor az
the Nation, in Philadelphia Public
LEDGER
LONDON, Dec. II (by telegraph to
Clifden; thence by wireless) The sit
uation is perfectly clear and simple.
The Liberal Government is returning
with clear majority to insure it's be-
ing able to carry through its pro-
gramme. The Parliament bill will
be passed and the Lords will accept it.
They will doubtless seek to Introduce
amendments, but finally they will bow
to the inevitable and accept it.
There is much cry and little wool in
the Tory protestations of resistance to
an outrage. MIR. Balfour himself adj
mitted this week that the Parliament
bill will be passed, and that the Lords
will do just as they did with the re-
form bill and several other measures
they swore they would never accept,
and then did accept.
Home rule will not come upon the
carpet before 1912. 1t is too early yet
to make predictions in this matter, but
probably the measure will be along
federal lines.
The Unionists are a defeated party
and inpir Recommendations Of uh al
they will do later are baseless The
facts are they are losing ground in the
country. The results they obtained
in Lancashire were partly due to theil
Juggling with tariff reform. Nowhere
else, except in the west, where home
rule fears probably influenced the
vote, have they made any impression
In considering the question of ma
| iorities sight must not be lost of the
fact that the polling was on the ole
register, which was much more un
favorable to the Liberals than to the
Conservatives.
Altogether, the Unionists are in {
losing cause, and their future is not {
brilliant one. Mr.. Baifour cannot con

At THE THEATERS
Ruou Amateurs.

Friday night is recognized as anna
teur night at the Bijou now, and this
has become a regular institution. 1t
is looked forward to by many as the
big night at the Biiou, for on Fridays
double program is given. Tomor-
row night a big batch of aspirants will
be before the footlights, and there is
some good talent to appear. Many
laughable turns will be put on, The
audience can rest assured that ic will
have to laugh, and the amaturs will be
worth the money alone. There will
be the usual weekly change by Gladys
Middleton, Ed. Quigley, Mike Patton,
Perry and Rowe and Richard Kipling.
All these people will submit something
entirely different, while new films will
be presented Gladys Middleton and
Mike Patton finish up shortly. Their
places will be taken by some new peo-
pie who are to arrive on Wednesday
next by the Lurline from the coast.
These new people come with excellent
regulations, and they will be able to
maintain these in Honolulu.

FOREIGN COMPANIES
IN AMERICAN COURT

NEW YORK, January 5.-The fed
eral government yesterday filed suit in
the United States Circuit Court, under
the antitrust law, against thirteen of
the principal transatlantic steamship
companies, under the charge that they
have entered into illegal contracts to
force nonmembers of the combination
out of business in the carrying of
steerage passengers from foreign
ports.
The companies affected are the Anne
rican line, the Anchor line, Atlantic
Transport line, Cunard line, the Com
panic Generate Transatlantique, Ham
burg-American line, Holland-American
line, North German Lloyd, North Ger
man Lloyd Mediterranean service) ,
Scandinavian-American line and the
White Star line.
1t is asserted in the complaint that
these lines control about ninety per
cent Of the steerage traffic to this
country, and that there is a conspiracy
to drive out of the business any other
steamship company which attempts to
handle this passenger traffic, estimat-
ed to be worth over $55, 900 a year
to the companies involved.
1t is probable that eleven out of the
thirteen lines will claim a non-juris-
diction of the court, as being foreign
corporations, whose ships sail under
foreign flags.

RICHEST SENATOR
PASSES AWAY

WASHINGTON, January 5.-United
States Senator Stephen Benton Blkins
died yesterday at his home in Blkins,
West Virginia, after several weeks
sickness. Members of his family were
at the bedside when he passed away,
aged sixty-eight years.
Senator EIlkins has been a prominent
public figure since, in 1873, he first
went to congress as a delegate from
the Territory of New Mexico. He
has been almost continuously in the
service of the country ever since.
Early in Politics.
Senator Ellkins was born in Perry
county, Ohio, September 26, 1884, and
with his parents moved to Missouri,
where he graduated from the Univer-
sity of Missouri in 1860. In 1866 he
married Miss Sallie Jacobs, of Well
ington, Missouri, two years after be-
ing admitted to the bar. Before his
marriage young Elkins went to New
Mexico and was elected to the terri
torial legislature, later becoming ter
ritorial district attorney, and in 1868
attorney general.
In 1872 he was appointed United
States district attorney for the Terri
tory and served until he was elected
to congress in 1873 and served until
1877, when he removed to West Vir
ginia, with which State he has been
identified ever since. While serving
as a delegate to congress in 1875, Mr..
Elkins married Miss Halle Davis,
daughter of United States Senator
Henry Gassaway Davis, afterwards
Democratic candidate for vice-presi-
dent.
In 1891 President Harrison appoint
ed Mr.. El1ins secretary of war; he
served for three years. In 1895 he
was elected United States senator and
was serving his third term at the time
of his death. He was the author OF a
number of important bills, especially
one to regulate corporations, and has
been an aggressive and noted figure in
the senate at all times.
Recently considerable notoriety has
accrued to him on account of the love
episode between his daughter, Kathor-
inc Elkins, and the Due G'Abruzzi,
cousin of the King of Italy, during
which their engagement and its frac'
ture has been announced number OF
times.
Estimates of the wealth of the sena
tor have been made at various times
the lowest approximating $5O,OOO,OOO
but those we'll informed assert chat il
is nearer double that figure.

Barnes and West.

Notwithstanding Che heavy rain that
came down last night, there was a
fairly large attendance at the Park
theater where Barnes and West made
their first appearance in Honlulu. The
newcomers were entirely successful.
They were capital dancers, and were
enthusiastically recalled. They dress
well. They first sing, and then they
dance on a mat. Their style of dane
ing has not been seen in Honolulu for
long time. Brown and Wilmott
were certainly good, but these people
are much better, Coming as they do
after Brown and Wilmott, it is but ma
tural to say that they are reminiscent
of them, but such is not the case;
as a fact II should the other way.
Barnes and West should certainly
have a successful season at the Park.
Last night Barnes had a nasty fall
while attempting difficult step in his
dancing. Fortunately, however, he
was not hurt at all, but he got a severe
shaking. He attributes the accident
to the fact that he had not thoroughly
lost his sea-legs. Howard and Ed
wards and the Melnotte Sisters are
still in the bill, and some excellent
pictures are being shown.

KING READY TO ACT
SHOULD LORDS REBEL

LONDON, Dec. II (by telegraph to
Clifden, thence by wireless) The
week has. brought about a consider
able change in the view taken by
many observers of the future course
of British politics. While it was hard
ly to be expected that Unionists would
subscribe to the opinion expressed by
H. w. Massingham, there is among
gretful agreement that, so far as the
Parliament bill is concerned, it's enact
ment is practically a foregone CON
clusion, for the Lords will pass it
rather than lay themselves open to an
invasion of 500 new members.
In connection with this your cores
pondent is able to give an authorita-
tive explanation of the attitude of the
Crown in respect to the question of
guarantees. King George too kexactly
the same position as his father; name
ly, that on such a great question as the
veto of the upper house he could not
regard the last election as conclusive.
When the country should be consult
ed on This direct issue his Majesty
would, of course, be guided by the adj
vice of his responsible Ministers. Pre-
mier Asquith has carefully avoided
making any statement relative to the
royal prerogative, but Mr.. Lloyd
George in a speech this week permitted
Il to be distinctly understood that the
prerogative of the Crown would be at
the disposition of the Ministry in case
Of necessity.
The Unionists are setting afloat the
tumor that Mr.. Asquith is likely to
resign the premiership on, it must be
stated, a somewhat slender basis.
Asquth May Resign.
Mr.. Asquith on Thursday night made
some important remarks, saying this
among other things:
"The Irish party will be a portion,
and small portion, Of the majority
which is about to be returned. The
Liberal party will constitute by far
the largest portion of that majority,
and the suggestion lis that, this being
our relative position, we are going to
be coerced by this relatively small
fraction into policies of which we do
not, in our judgment and conscience.
approve"
There is a delicious touch in the
comment upon this made by a Union
list evening paper, which says:
First, the Premier's' words will not
bear an Interpretation favorable to the
Nationalists, and, secondly, we read
this to mean that if Mr. Asquith can
not see his way to satisfy Mr.. Red
mond's demand, he will resign and
leave the task to Mr.. Lloyd-George or
some other Minister more in sympathy
with separation. This is plain speak
ing with compound interest"
In this and a score of other direc-
lions there are evidences that the
Unionists are making ready to throw
up the sponge in the fight which will

MAIL, SHOOT CLERK

SEATTLE, January 1.-Two masked
bandits held up the Northern Pacific
limited train just at the outskirts of
the city late yesterday and rifled the
registered mail, but how much booty
was secured is not yet known.
During the effort to rob the mail car
one OF the mail clerks resisted and
was shot. The robbers escaped, but it
is expected they will be taken into
custody today, as posses are on their
trail.

Lords VIII Accent Bill.

On the other side, the responsible
Unionist organs admit that the gov
eminent has received a mandate for a
Parliament bill which would abolish
the veto power of the House of Lords.
The general opinion is that the
Unionist leaders will in the end ac-
cepr the bill, sooner than drag the
King into the party arena. This natu-
rally would follow the Lords rejection
of the measure, for then the govern
ment woulG be compelled to ask the
King for guarantees in the nature of
the appointment of 500 Peers to out
vote the Unionists in the upper house.
The veto disposed of, Redmond ma
turally would demand home rule. 1t
is also possible that before the wishes
of Ireland are granted the government
will endeavor to pass the electoral re-
form bill, which would abolish plural
voting and provide that all elections
should be held in one day. The mas.
ter of Elibank, who as chief Liberal
whip organized the campaign, has
strongly advised such a course, his eX
perience having shown him that the
large majority of plural voters are
Unionists and in some constituencies
are actually outvoting the residents.

LIBERALS AND UNloNlsTs
MAY BE EAACTIN A


LONDON, Dec. l7--With the excep-
ton Of a few personal changes tn f;
new House of Commons will be the
same as the old. II the results in six
districts yet to be declared repeat the
decision Of last January, the old pre-
dominant parties, the Liberals and
Unionists, will have four members and
one member less, respectively than
they did in the late Parliament, MAX
ing them exactly equally If the Speak
er, who is elected as Unionist, be ex-
cluded.
These seats have gone to the gov
eminent allies, labor having added
three to their numerical strength,
while Redmond comes back with two
followers more than he had earlier in
the year Both of the Nationalist
gains were from the Unionisrs.
With the elections over, saner coun-
sells are prevailing, and there is no
longer talk of Parnellite home rule.
The Liberal policy is now confined to
self-government for Ireland, subject
to the control of the imperial Parlia-
ment.

NAZIMOVA COMING.

Mme. Nazimova, the remarkable actress who comes to the Elks thea ter soon for one night, was born in Russia in 1879, in the little town of Yalta, Crimea, a little Tartar vil- iage in the Black Sea region. It has been called the Newport of Russia, for to it, ill summer, flock the fash ionable from St. Petersburg and Mos COW. The Czar himself has his sum- mer palace at Livador, suburb of the town about a mile distant Nazi- mova' S father was chemist and ranked very high in his profession. Here in her youth, the actress had an opportunity to mret many of the great men of Russia; Gorki, Toek- hoff, Andreieff and many others who had come to Yalta to improve their health. Nazimova left her native with her family and did not return again until she was sixteen years old She studied for the stage in the dra- matic school of the Philharmonic So- ciety of Moscow, entering at the age of IT and graduating three years later, first in her class with the title of Excellent p"pil," the highest hon. or conferred. Mme.

TT IS BAD LEGISLATION
Criticism Already Been Passed About Measures Presented Against
 Capital.

Little Rock, Jan. 13-So much dis satisfaction is being expressed over the office of the State Treasurer be ing in the old State House and the other offices in the new building that the chances are that the Treasurer will move to the new building. The legislators have been unable to draw per diem or mileage so far on account of the house whiting to s10,000 the Senate appropriation Of $2oo,o0o which the Senate is loath to accept The bill cannot be signed until it is engrossed, and it appears as though Gov. Donaghey took hand in the re- duction, for the administration forces have been in it's favor. The General Revenue fund is growing and will continue to do so until the legislators get their hands on it. This is due to the money which is being paid in by the sheriffs of the counties where liquor is sold. Sebastian county yes terday paid s14,ooo into the general revenue fund from this source. Each bhanch of the legislature will be forced to secure number of extra pages to trot back and forth to the of flee of the Treasurer if it is not mov- ed. If the office is moved, large portion of the cash will be placed in local national banks, though it is argued that the money will be as safe at the new building, without the vaults all being completed, as it is in the old building.

In Peras, in the Malay peninsula lawyers find no business, for a modi- fed form of trial by ordeal decides all disputes. In place of the legal practi- tiouer the pleader is a native boy who is assigned to one or the other of the sides and is given a bamboo tube in which is sealed the pleading of the person or party whom he represents. When all is ready two stakes are driven into the bed of a stream. and by aid of a bamboo pole the heads of the two boys are submerged at the same time. By grasping the stakes they are enabled to remain under wa ter for quite awhile after their natural inclination would bring them to the surface, but at last one of them gives ill and, releasing his hold of the stake cones to the air. He is immediately seized. and the tube he holds is cast aside. The other lad is led ashore. his tube opened, and the document cen. gainetl therein stands as the decision in he case
