FOR IMPORTERS
OF FRENCH GOODS

In view of facilitating the CONNER
cial relations between buyers and
sellers of French products, the De.
partment of Commerce and Industry
in Paris has organized a special 5u-
reau called "TOfice National du Com
merce," for the special purpose Of
Identifying all the French producers
and manufacturers, and of giving out
correct information to foreign mer-
chants who wish to open business re
lations with French firms.
AS a result of the bureaus efforts
q special Hefertory has been compiled
of all the French manufacturers de-
sirous of exporting their goods, Or
who wish to secure agents and repre-
sentatives abroad A circular issued
by the French Department of Com
merce, and stating these facts, has
just been distributed among the Ho-
nolulu merchants, through the French
consulate here, and in this circular
the department officially advises all
foreign merchants who want names
and addresses of French firms in any
branch of commerce or industry to
write for information direct to the
"Directeur de rOffice National 1u
Commerce Exterieur" 6 rue Feydeau,
Paris. Also foreign purchasers, when
visiting France on business, will do
well to call personally at the same
Office National, where every practical
advice and confidential correct infor-
nation will cheerfully be given, free
of charge.

NO SPECIAL FARES FOR
TWO BIG CONVENTIONS

CHICAGO, March 4.-There will be
no special railroad rates this year
either to the Republican or Demo
cratic national conventions. This in
formation was obtained today from
passenger traffic officials in close
touch with the situation, and an off.
cial announcement to that effect is ex.
Ipected within a comparatively short
time.
The regular convention fare of two
cents a mile in each direction, and
summer tourist travel which are a
standard feature of summer travel,
will be the only offerings made
to delegates going either to Bal
timore or Chicago, it is said. Some
time ago general policy was adopt
ed by the roads affiliated with both
the Central and Western passenger
associations to the effect that no rates
under two cents a mile in each direc-
ton should be granted for conven-
lions of any kind.

WARMER III HALEIWA.

Just now, while all Honolulu is
near-freezing in a temperature of SO
degrees, Haleiwa is an asylum for
those who do not enjoy the cold snap
and rain. The balmy spring weather
at this delightful place lures those
who can go to its hospitable doors.
The bathing at Haleiwa is delightful
because of the uncontaminated water
and friendly beach. Not bit of coral
is there to cut the feet and the surf
is always high enough to make bath
ing a pleasure. The auto in the rent
service has proven real convenience
to those of the guests who wish 70
tour the neighborhood and explore
the country. The barracks at Leile-
hua and the pineapple plantations are
among the places of interest easily
reached. Trains on the o. r. & L.
road go to the lawn. For rese-va'
lions address the management, Hale

VARIOUS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
IMPROVEMENTS IN WAILUKU

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WAILUKU, March 12.-The commit
tee of the Maui board of supervisors,
Messrs. Pogue, Jake and Drummond,
have been carefully investigating the
possibility of enlGrging the Malulani
Hospital. The committee has been
looking up property adjoining the hos
pital grounds, and think they will be
able to report favorably on the ad-
visibility of purchasing land upon
which to erect the new building.
At the last meeting of the board of
supervisors, it was noted that the
sidewalk now being built in front of
the schoolhouse be extended at the
farther end toward town. This will
complete the walk in front of the resi-
dence of D. H. Case.
The Maui Soda and Ice Works Co.,
under the management of R. A. Wads-
worth, has been greatly enlarging it's
plant An oil tank has been sunk near
the tracks of the Kahului Railroad
Company to convey oil to the new
engine soon to be installed. One of
the marked Improvements of the new
plant over the old will be the dis
filling apparatus large enough to dis
till enough water to supply the new
ice plant, which has a capacity for
turning out ten tons of crystal ice a
day. The progressiveness of the com
pany is greatly appreciated by the
many Maui patrons.

MAINTAIN THE STANDING NAVY

San Francisco Call: Secretary Mey-
err urges congress to provide for the
construction of at least two battle
ships this year and bases his argu-
ment on the fact that the zone bat
tleship program" will put the United
States navy in fourth or fifth place
among the powers. Our navy at pres
ent stands in point of strength about
third, That is to say, the American
and German navies are of nearly equal
strength, with perhaps a slight pre-
ponderance in favor of Germany But
if congress decides to cut the naval
program in half, our standing in the
matter of sea power will shortly be
surpassed by France and Japan.
Since the war with Russia Japan
has allowed it's naval force to decline,
but this policy has recently been
changed and an extensive program of
construction is in hand 2 The United
States Office Of naval intelligence is
sued a pamphlet last month which
shows what the Japanese are doing in
the way of building ships of war. This
report says:
BattIeships Building.
Settsu-2O,SO0 tons displacement,
building Yokosuka yard, Twelve 12-
inch guns.

PALMYRA ISLAND WAS
ONCE SOLD FOR DOLLAR

LONDON, March 4.-Francis Dyke
Acland, parliamentary under secre.
tary of foreign affairs, In a speech in
the House of Commons today said
that Palmyra Island, in the Pacific
ocean, had once been sold for a dol
lar and that its only inhabitants were
crabs. Discussing the news that the
United States cruiser West Virginia
had planted the Stars and Stripes on
the island, he said Great Britain had
long since abandoned all interest
in it.

PREFERENTIAL CANAL RATE
IS THE AMERICAN POLICY

WASHINGTON March S.-Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Charles
NageI believes that a preferential rate
through the Panama canal should be
allowed to American vessels. He says
this is in accordance with a policy
long since established by the United
States.
He says:
The vast sums appropriated for the
Panama canal do not differ in prin-
ciple from the expenditures for other
canals, locks, rivers and similar i'm
provements in American territory.
Under the statute of 1884 neither
tolls nor operating charges may be
levied against American ships passing
through such canals or waterways. 1t
seems to me consistent, therefore,
that a similar rule should be adopted,
at least as far as coastwise vessels
are concerned, for the Panama canal.
The treaties under which the canal
is being constructed provide that
every nation shall contribute with mo
discrimination to the support of the

Eight 13.5-inch guns.

company. Eight 135-inch guns,
There has been authorized by Japan
in addition to above vessels and not
included in above tables, one battle
ship, reported to be named Fuse, and
about which the technical press is in
doubt as to whether she will carry
twelve 12-inch guns, similar to the
Settsu, or twelve 13.5inch guns. This
vessels is reported as laid down in
Kure in the month of December 1911.
Japan, it thus appears, is building
three battleships of the dTeadnought
type and four battle cruisers which
are really more powerful than the
dreadnought type and more dangerous
by reason of their high speed.
The present standing of the Amer,
lean navy in ships and personnel is
high, and its relative place should be
maintained. The navy is not only our
Nfrst line of defense, but practically
our only line, in an organized mill,
tary sense It would be a vicious form
! Of economy to suffer It to decline.

ROOSEVELT GIVES REASONS
WHY HIS HATS IN THE RING

OYSTER BAY, March 3.-Theodore
Roosevelt explained today his reason
for agreeing to become candidate for
the Republican nomination. He said
that he had found among a large por
ton of responsible citizens a surpris-
ing lack of appreciation of the import
ance of the great current of popular
feeling in favor of the principles of
the progressives.
The colonel found the ultra conser-
vatives blind, too, or wilfully passive
to the wishes of the people. He said
that many big men do not appear to
see the way things are going, and that
the principles of government demand
ed by the people as a whole must be
carried out.
Many Won't Believe Him.
Il believe that the people have a
right to carry out their views said
Colonel Roosevelt, land for this rea-
son I agreed to take up a work with
which l would have preferred not to
have been burdened. Many persons
probably will not believe l never
wished to get into this contest for the
nomination and did my best to keep
out of it.
in 1904 l should have felt badly if
refused nomination, as wanted the
seal of public approval placed upon
my acts in trying to carry out the
work of my predecessor, who had
been elected by the people.
Colonel Snaps Fingers.
Now I do not personally care that
and Roosevelt snapped his fingers
'if ! am nominated, but I do care for
the interest of the progressive cause,
and for that reason l shall fight as
hard as / know how"
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of
the University of California and one
of the first men to whom Colonel
Roosevelt wrote a letter indicating
that he might become a candidate,
was a guest at Sycamore Hill today.
Letter Turned on Colonel.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Colonel
Roosevelt's denial of stories sent from
Washington that the Taft administra-
ton had reason to believe that he
would not be a candidate for the Re
publican nomination against the Presi-
dent, and his statement at oyster Bay
yesterday that Secretary of the Navy
Meyer and Secretary of War Stimson
could not have said" he would not be
candidate, caused to be made public
here tonight letter written by Colo
mel Roosevelt June 81, 1911, denying
reports that he would support Taft.
This letter ended as follows:
His Pledge Quoted.

REIGN OF TERROR
WHEN MUTINEERS BROKE LOOSE

TIENTSIN, March 3.-Rioting of a
serious nature took place here last
night. The outbreak had been feared
and precautions were taken, as far as
possible, to protect the residents from
harm.
Between nine and ten o'clock the
soldiers mutinied, set fire to a number
of buildings and then began looting
from house to house. They were
joined by the rabble. Shops and banks
in all important streets were looted
and some of them were wrecked.
In order to intimidate the populace
the soldiers kept up continual gun
fire. The rattle of musketry could be
heard throughout the night. Only a
few police remained loyal, and they
were outnumbered and powerless to
suppress the disorder.
No less than fourteen fires were
raging simultaneously in various
parts of the city. The soldiers broke
into the Peiyang mint, which was set
on fire. Machinery to the value of
many thousands of dollars was de-
stroyed. The looters entered the sill
yer stores, wrenching off the iron
shutters and even making holes in
the walls. The mint was looted of
everything portable and the ground
was strewn with empty cartridge
clips and cases.
German Doctor Shot Dead.
The German consul dispatched a
guard to protect German residents in
the city, composed chiefly of the en-
cheering staff of the Tientsin-Pukow
railway. A German doctor named
Schreeter, who entered the city to as
sist German friends, was shot dead
by looting soldiers. Foreigners gen.
orally, however, were not molested.
A company of the Somerset regiment
was sent to the British station at mid
night to protect it's property.
The damage done can not now be
estimated. The city was quiet, &C
cording to the last reports, although
hundreds of carts laden with house
hold belongings and loot were leaving
for other parts. Further disturbances
are expected An Associated Press
correspondent, while proceeding from
Picking to Tientsin today, witnessed a
critical incident at Fengtai, which was
in the hands of the mutineers. The
train pulled in between lines of troops
of the Somerset regiment, who were
crouching with guns loaded and bay
onets fixed. One hundred yards away
groups of Chinese were sulhly dis
cussing the action of the Britishers.
One Hours Grace Given.
1t was explained that the Chinese
had stopped the trains and had threat
ened not to let any pass They wer'
given one hour by the British com
mander to vacate their positions. Jus
about that time 700 of the Enniskil
len fusileers arrived and began to de
7 train quarter Of mile away.
The Chinese, who numbered 1906
did not move until the Enniskillen
marched up and took their positions
Then they sauntered away in all d
rections as the train continued on t
Tientsin.
The gentry and officials of the ne
tive city met this morning and COZ
fessed their inability to cope with tn
situation. They sent a deputation
the senior consul requesting the az
sistance of foreign troops to preserv
order
The consul referred them to tn
military authorities, who while syn

canal in proportion to the use it
makes of the canal That principle
will, of course, be observed. At the
same time the purpose of section four
of the rivers and harbors act of July
3, 1884, may be preserved in the most
important engineering work that we
have ever undertaken.
This may be accomplished by the
enactment of a law which shall pro-
vide that all tolls and transit charges
that may be imposed on public YES
sells of the United States and on
merchant vessels of the United
States for passage through the Pana-
ma canal shall be paid from the Unit
ed States treasury. About twenty-five
per cent of the Suez canal tolls on
foreign merchant vessels are paid in
some form from the treasures of the
nations whose flags these vessels fly,
and we may assume that like provi-
sions in at least some instances will
be made for the payment of the tolls
that we shall assess on foreign mer-
chant vessels"

editorially takes a whGck at Honolu'
LUIS erstwhile reformer, the Rev. F..
w. Thwing, who for the past few years
has been reforming" the Chinese En-
pire The article follows:
"Where Angels Fear to Tread"
Dealing with the Chinese situation
recently, We remarked that it showed
considerable temerity for a gentleman
like Mr.. L. w. Thwing, (well known
for his labors in connection with the
anti-opium campaign, to address a
telegram to the court urging abdica-
ton, seeing that he was scarcely quail
flied to judge of such matter after
a few years residence in China. Our
apologies would seem due to Mr..
Thwing in regard to the latter remark
at least He states that he has lived
in China for twenty years, and so had
a right to hope to see China reform
and become rich and powerful" On
this account he expended goodly
sum of money in sending no less than
ten kilograms to Pekin, addressed to
