for Aid

- SAN FRANCISCO, California, March
II.-Oficers of the German liner As:
suan, which reached the Golden Gate
yesterday afternoon, bring word Of a
hideous state of affairs in Mexico. The
ship reports have learned at one of her
: many ports of call in Mexico, that
Americans and other foreigners have
been murdered by the rebels in the in
terior of Mexico and the conditions in
tho southern republic are fast becom.
, ing unbearable.
The danger to their wives, children
and themselves in the interior has
driven thousands of American and
other refugees from the inland towns
to the cities along the western coast,
where they are undergoing hardships of
all sorts. The authorities in the smaller
towns are not making any pretense of
caring for these men and women driven
from their homes and they have been
forced to appeal to outsiders for char
ity.
According to word brought by the
Assuan the consuls at the various
towns of the Mexican coast at which
the steamer stopped have been sending
frantic appeals to the state depart
ment at Washington to order war
ship from San Francisco to the scene
of the troubles that American interests
may be looked-out for, but SO far this
has not been done.
It is rumored here that a transport
will be ordered south at once but no
definite information could be obtained
last night regarding the report.

.HILO SUPERVISORS
KICK At CONTRACTS

Especial Wireless to The Advertiser.)
HILo, March 9.-The supervisors
yesterday passed resolution protest
ing vigorously against the awarding of
two contracts for the belt road at flo.
ures exceeding $4,000 and $4,000 per
mile respectively.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1912-03-12

A. A. Wilson was the lowest bidder
for both sections of the proposed road.
His bid was sos, 6s9.35 per mile for the
Hilo,Hakalau section of the road and
$47940.9T for the RoIaboIa section.
The other bidders and their bids were:
Lord Young for the Hilo- Hakalau
section, $l25,3O4, for the BoIaboRa sec
tion, $53,00S-55; Hon. G. g. ID. Coz,
$ll1,lSs.75, and $4s,s17.50; Arioli

l7723; John T. Brown, $ll1, $780,
(frst section only, and John II. vii.
son, $l1l,933.69 (first section only.
The bids were opened Thursday, but
no contract was awarded, as Chairman
Albert Horner was not present. meet
ing of the commission, at which the
contract will be considered, will be held
Thursday, either at Hilo or at Waimea.
remarkable thing about the bid.
ding was the fact that in tho case of
the first contract, it was so evenly
balanced that it elected the surprise
of the contractors and of Chief En-
gineer Bishop. Three bids were Just
about $11l,000, and the bids of john
Brown and of John II. Wilson were
within three dollars of each other.
A number of the contractors assem-
hled mt noon when Bishon announced
that the opening Of the bids would, for
the sake of safety, be postponed for
an hour. Contractor Young. of Lord 6
Young, entered formal protest
against all bids which would be re-
ceived after the noon hour. At l pm.
the contractors gathered again. Bishop
announced that just one bid had been
received since noon, that of John Fl.
Wilson. Young asked that his protest
be withdrawn, which was done. Lewis,
who presided, ruled that this bid should
be opened along with the others.
The bids are considerably higher
than had been estimated by the belt
road commission. They are 80 high
that IL will bA impossible for the com.
mission to undertake to carry out both
contracts until more money comes into
its hands. The lowest bids on the two
contracts, those of A. A. Wilson,
amount to total of si46 630.32. The
commission has had to spend ON belt
road so far only Sl50,000, and ont Of
this it has had TO pay all its expenses
of starting its organization, the cost
Of the eugineer's department, of hold
ing meetings; while il win also have
to nav. out of this same $l5oOO0, en-
cheering expenses incurred until such
time when the second belt road install
ment becomes available. That Will
probably DO in August.

INDIA MISSIONS
UNSUCCESSFUL
Rev. Arthur Davies Declares
Educated HlnduS Avoid
Christianity.
tFrOm MOnday,s Advertiser.l J

~ W." -hVhbhg auNtINihtEsl
Asserting that the Christian missions
of India have now reached a strata of
native life past which they can not
work, the Rev. Arthur W. Davies,
brother of T. Give Davies Of this city
and vice principal of St. Johns Col
lege, Madras, yesterday morning start
led the crowds in st. Andrews Cattle.
dral.
While it may be reasoned from the
census figures, he said, that within an
exact numbers of years all India would
be Christian such reasoning is I'M
scientific and untrue. He illustrated
this with the smile of the tunnel
through the mountain which easily
penetrates the soft outer crust, but
which is stopped by the solid rock
within.
The missionaries, he said, had been
working only through the outer crust
of the Indian nation, the very lowest
classes. They were now coming in con-
tact with the middle and higher classes,
which are as a solid living rock, inn
.penetrable, 1t had to be admitted and
he said that the missionary on the
ground does so without reservation,
that they had made converts generally
among only the very lowest of classes,
although there ware many converts of
education.
Glad to Aid Poor.
Mr.. Davies protested with much
earnesteness that he and his fellow
workers were not ashamed of their
work; that they were glad and more
than glad that they had been able to
reach those poorer and downtrodden
classes, that they had been able per
haps to reach those miserable peoples
who had before the teaching of Chris
tianity been without hope. Always, he
said, the Christian missionaries had
been forced to work from the bottom
upwards.
He took for his text, Christ words
to his Apostles, cit is. not for you to
know the times or the seasons" His
sermon was largely one on the problem
of winning the people of the upper
castles of India, saying that the call
from that country was one of difficulty,
not of success.
"'It is true" he said "that the
census report shows that there have
been large aceessions to the church dur
ing the past ten years. The Christians
of the Punjab have increased more
% ha
is with the upper classes. Here it
seems as though the forces of Hinduism
have arrayed themselves against Chris
tianity to such an extent that baptisms
in schools and colleges are of very rare
occurrence.
''The Hindus regard it as almost in
conceivable that an educated man
should embrace Christianity. Although,
of course, there is very considerable
number of educated people in the Chris
tian church. This state of mind is
illustrated by Plato IS parable of the
prisoners in the cave who could not be-
lieve the stories of the upper air even
when they were told of them.
What Is Needed.
'tThere is no need to despair-those
who know the difficulties best are the
greatest optimists. We are not en-
gagged in battle, but in a campaign.
We must have behind the missionaries a
united home church, determined that
defeat shall never stop the advance.
India is not ignorant of the condition
of Christian lands. We must show
Christianity in action nationally and
internationally.

RAILROAD POSSIBILITIES.

The Hardwick Gazette says, "The
Gazette has it on what is considered
good authority that instead of being
built from Waterbury to Morrisviile it
is more likely that the new railroad
will be built by Central Vermont in
terests from Montpelier to Hardwick
and then down the river on the north
side and through to Eden, Lowell and
North Troy.
''The Gazette understands that there
is a survey of the route to HardwicE
from Montpelier and estimates have
been made regarding the cost of this
extension. 1t would be but little
longer by way of Hardwick to North
Troy than via Waterbury and we are
told the grades are much easier than
from Waterbury to Stowe.
eff the Central builds via Woodbury.

probably a large part, of the great

put the Woodbury. Granite Company in

valuable white granite deposits at
Bethel and much of that stone could
be cut here"

Floyd, the magician, who is to give

lecture course, is without doubt the
most skillful exponent of pure sleight-
of-hand that has ever appeared upon
the lyceum platform. He has fol-
lowed this line of work for over
twenty years. He was the pioneer
and still maintains the lead. He has
invented, designed and presented more
brilliant magical experiments than any
magician now living. He is constant
ly at work upon some new and wonder
full mystery, and so startling are some
of the effects and so nearly perfect his
art that he has but to command the
most unheard of things to happen and
they transpire. He will be ably as
sisted by Mohala, the mind-reader, and
really talented musician.
