Palmyra Mission Certain.

From an authoritative source it is
stated that when the cruiser West Vir-
ginia sailed from Honolulu couple
of days ago she headed straight, for
Palmyra Island. She sailed upon spe-
cial cabled instructions from the navy
department after being held here until
the psychological moment had arrived.
1t was not secret among the higher of
ficers of the flagship as to where she
was going after the first orders were
received from Washington.
The first cable for the cruiser to coal
and prepare for sea in few hours
was with the idea of sending her tC
Palmyra, and from the time she took
on coal at night week ago she was
awaiting definite orders from headquar'
tiers sending her to the disputed terri
tory. That her time of arrival at the
island was accurately determined can
be seen from the orders which she re.
ceived about sailing. These were for
her to leave the inner harbor at two
'clock in the afternoon and anchor
outside, sailing from her anchorage at
five.
The three cruisers now visiting the
other Islands have been at Hilo for
three days and will sail from that port
at eight tomorrow night for Kahului
arriving in Honolulu at noon on Tues
day.

NEW INDUSTRY
FOR HONOLULU
United States Officials Fighting
Tooth and Nail to Break
1t Up.
(From Sundays Advertiser


Instead of doing their best to en-
courage Honolulu's latest infant in
dustry the United States officials here
are fighting tooth and nail to break
it up, and send the promoters behind
the bars for prison terms. The first
step in their campaign was taken yes
terday when G. See Kau, a Chinese,
was arrested on warrant from United
States District Attorney Breckons
Office, charged with manufacturing sec
ond grade smoking opium.
That arrest was the first intimation
the people of Honolulu had, that their
city has become center for the manu-
facture of "dope' for the "fiends''
of the Coast. Yet such is a fact.
From Seattle and San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Portland and other cities
along the Pacific Coast the dottles
of the opium pipes smoked in thou
sand dives and dens, has been shipped
more or less openly to this port. The
trade'' has grown considerably until,
much of the second grade opium CON
sumed in California, Oregon, Washing
ton, and British Columbia ports, is
manufactured right here in Honolulu.
For some time the authorities on the
mainland have known that such an
industry existed somewhere, but
despite their efforts were unable to
learn just where the work of trans
forming enshi into "smoko' was be-
ing done. AT last an extra large CON
signment of the stuff attracted the at
tention of the local officials, and at
once the work of ferreting out the
matter was commenced by United
States District Attorney Breckons and
internal Revenue Collector Cottrill.
Between them they have amassed an
enormous quantity of evidence, G. See
Klaus arrest is believed to be but the
first of long series on the same, or
similar charges.
The methods of the local enshi
smokers are simple. Enshi consists of
the ashes and scrapings of opium
pipers after they have given the smok-
ers the dreams the fend Graves. This
stuff, which has a definite market price,
is shipped here and treated to remove
the char and ashes. The residuum is
then mixed with low grade, unsmoked,
opium and sold at figure not much
below the price of first grade opium.
This practise, it is said, has already
cost Uncle Sam a large amount of
revenue and recent ruling of the in
ternal revenue department is intended
TO put an end to II. As consequence
the United States officials have been
waging a secret battle against the
adulterator, with Kau as the first cap
ture.
One of the most noticeable results of
the strenuous campaign against opium
smuggling and smoking by the local
authorities has been to raise the price
Of the poppy juice to an unheard of
price. For long time it has been
costing smokers about $s5 or more a
tin, weighing about half pound. The

how his army was undermined with

But he persisted in his neglect of All
Chu, who was eating out her little
heart, behind the harem walls.
In all her loneliness and desolation
All Chu turned to the white man 3 god
and to the doctrines of the revolution
lists. In the one she found peace, in
the other she saw some hope of re-
demption. She decided to throw in her
lot with the revolutionists and made
her plans accordingly. Through a
friend, flower girl on one of the flower
boats tied up at the river bank, she
communicated with the commander of
the revolutionary force outside the
walls. To him she told her plan, that
he might carry out his part. It was
simple. She would open the great
barred gates and he was to have his
men there ready to enter the city. It
would be easy for her to get away.
No one bothered about her comings
and goings since the French women had
come.

cumbersome bars and let them fall

she swung the gate wide and the rebels
began creeping in.
Then she fed, but not before the

shots inside the city that told the gate

Out of China, in the last few months,
many almost unbelievable stories have
come, but none that can surpass that
of the beautiful flower girl, All Chu,
and her revenge. The tales told to
Hauran al-Rashid, hold nothing that
outdoes the tale, for strange, oriental
flavor.
All Chu began life as Canton flower
girl. She bids fair to end it as the
Joan of Arc of the new China, for to
the work of her slim, jewel covered
hands, and her longing for revenge for
her scorned love, the revolutionists owe
the capture of Marking, the most dead.
ly blow delivered against the ancient
monarchy.
Fate played kindly with All Chu.
Not only did it spoil the plans Of her
foes and make smooth her path, but
with the irony it so dearly loves, caus-
ed tine very rivals she hated and for
whose downfall she worked to be sold
to the highest bidder, after their mas
ter, and hers fed from the viceroy's
yamen in the old Chinese capital.
How 1t All Began.
All Chu was born among the flower
| boats of the river at Canton. There
she was trained for the life she was
destined to follow, taught to dance
and make herself beautiful with won
drous cosmetics. Soon she won some
fame as a dancer and entertainer and
was rewarded when she was about four
teen years old by being sold into the
harem of Chang Taio, viceroy at Nan
king, in the name of the late emperor.
In that harem she soon reigned as
beauty we'll the world over. They still
tell tales of her charm and how she
queened it over all the others, how
she fiouted the master, laughed at him
only to lure him back into her tolls
when she saw the storm clouds gather
ing about his brow.
And he did all she asked. He
showered her with jewels, gave her
servants, and a house of her own, yield
ed to her whims, was her devoted slave
till he grew tired. Even then he
might have been brought back but for
i'll luck. Chang made trip to Shang-
hal. There he met and purchased two
French women, with painted lips and
checks and hair that had metallic Ius.
ter and glinted varied CLEANS when the
sun struck it.
All Chu Disconsolate.
These women went back with the
viceroy to Marking, and upon them
he loaded the favors he had formerly
shown TO the flower girl. All Chu
left to herself, lonely and despised,
wandered disconsolate through rooms
where once she had been supreme.
Then came the revolution. One after
another victories came to the rev
olutionists. Slowly the Manchu hosts
were driven back until the ancient
capital was almost in their grip. The
rebel army was outside the walls of
the city, ready to take advantage of
any opportunity to enter. The Manchus,
nerve wracked watched every loophole
to prevent any such attempt But par.

Failure to Vote.

When less than half the voters show

answer to the question, shall the people
rule? Evidently the majority do not
care to rule nor to take any part in the
affairs of government unless it be to find
fault. The basis OF good government
starts with the primaries, not at the
election. Boss rule cannot be put down
by the voters who stay at home. Talk is
all right in its way but of little weight if
not backed up by work and votes. If
