London, April 29.-Upwards of loC
have been killed or wounded thus far in
Dublin, the correspondent of the Evening
News reports in a dispatch filed last
night He says that the rioters, hidden
in houses commanding the important
streets, are keeping up constant fusil-
lade and the list OF casualties continues
to lengthen. 1t includes many civilians
who, the correspondent says, have been
picked off by Sim Fein snipers. for no
other reason that that they were be-
lieved to be loyal A Gordon of troops is
being drawn gradually but surely around
the rebel strongholds and every effort is
being made to avoid unnecessary blood
shed and damage.
In an interview published to-day, the
leader of the Sim Feiners in Cork de-
clares that the members there planned to
rise simultaneously with their Dublin
comrades but that something went wrong
with the arrangements. 1--WE might have
been in possession of the postoflice but
for the fact that the military were there
first" said the leader. 81 do not think
we will rise here now,'' he continued,
"but if they come to demand our arms
we shall shoot them. When the news of
the Dublin rising came Monday we all
retired to our armored barracks, loaded
our rifles, polished our bayonets, set in
store of provisions and prepared for
anything. The bishop of Cork and the
lord mayor came to the barracks at mid
night and implored us to lay down our
arms but we refused absolutely"
''The thing that surprises me most
about the uprising in Dublin is the sup
ply of munitions in the hands of the reb-

morning and who spent ten hours in Dub

the popular mind that the Germans have

CROSS-CONTINNNT RATES
WILL BE RECONSIDERED
|. c. c. to Reopen Case on Account Of
Hardship Imposed by Closing
Panama Canal.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday took formal action recognizing
the closing OF the Panama Canal and the
diversion Of steamship lines doing bust
ness through the canal from the Atlantic
seabosrd to the Pacific Cosst and also the
diversion OF other steamships 70 the
foreign trade. The commission an
nounced that II would take evidence IN
Washington beginning April = upon
transportation conditions as changed
since the entry OF its decisions or orders
establishing trsnscontinentsl freight
rates.
This means the reopening OF the famous
so-called iptermountain and other cases
in which were involved the rates 20 the
Pacific Coast and inteTmountsin country.
Following litigation covering q period
OF several years, and which ended In the
Supreme Court deciding that the COM
mission could prescribe rates under
certain circumstances, the commission
ests blished a system OF rates which per
mitted lower rates TO Pacific coast points
and a certain number OF miles inland
than TO the interior and TO thu inter
mountain country generally. This system
also involved a resdjustmcnt OF trans
continental rates generally. The commits
sion predicated its lower rates 70 the
Pacific Coast on the fact that the
carriers were entitled TO fix such lower
rates TO meet water competition.

so yehemently-wltness the Walsh dinner at
the Country Club-has not helped the party any
and il will not help any.
Hawaii continues more and more to get and
to deserve the reputation of bitter relentless,
often INSCRIPTIONS political dissenson. The
Democrats are doing. their level best to increase
this reputation.
They are singularly Obtuse about learning
their lesson-these Democrats who are playing
politics against the governor and the national
administration in season and ont of season.
With clocklike regularity the men they put for
ward for the really valuable and representative
offices are turned down. But they apparently
have never yet grasped the basic reason that
their candidates didn t measure up to the neces
sites of the situation. Instead of grasping the
reason and acting accordingly, they have
yowed and clawed fur around the back fences,
and if they are successful in the bitter fight now
raging they will send Kilkenny delegation to
st. Louis, amply justifying the complaints of
broad-minded members of the cabinet and of
Congress that in Hawaii every fellow is after
the other fellow Is scalp and bound to get it by
fair means or foul.

THE KILKENNY cAMPAIGNERs.

Democrats of the McCandless camp would
ike to get something into the national plat
form which will rap the administration for
sending SO many mainlanders to Hawaii as
office-holders.
The conception of politics and government
contained in this proposal, and the means by
which they would compass it, illustrate precise
81 the characteristics of local Democracy which
has resulted in these mainland appointments.
If ever party had its chance to promote
local self government, it was the Democratic
party in Hawaii. President Wilson made his
appointments only after long-very long con
consideration. The McCandless leaders had
their day in court; they had their chance with
the national administration; they had their
opportunity to produce man of gubernatorial
size. McCandless went to Washington and was
given the personal consideration of the presi-
dent He. failed to get the appointment Call
ing the national administration names, as dis
appointed Democrats have done and are doing

Judge Stuart remains persistent in
his refusal to make public the reasons

BIRTH CERTIFICATES
USELESS ELSEWHERE

New Hawaiian birth certificates are
useless outside of the territory.
So said w. w. Thayer, secretary of
the territory, in statement issued
yesterday. Mr.. Thayer believes that
an impression has gone abroad that
the new certificates will be accepted
by the immigration authorities and to
refute this he issued the formal de-
NAL. "The certificates are prima facie
proof of the holders birth in the
territory and consequent American
citizenship declared the secretary.
But the immigration department has
refused to make any arrangement
with me by which the certificates 1
issue will be given any credit what
ever"
New regulations went into effect
Monday and the issuance of certifi-
Gates of Hawaiian birth, which has
been discontinued for some time, re-
commenced.

Won BETHMANN- HoLLwEG's SPEECH.

Chancellor Won Bethmann-H ollweg's speech
In the German Reichstag yesterday unquestIon-
ably is one of the most important public utter
ances of the war.
Sympathizers with the Teuton cause and
sympathizers with the Entente cause will read
il with differing interpretations The first will
see a determined reaffiTmation of Germany s
resolve to fight on to ultimate victory. The
second will catch between the resounding
phrases an intimation that Germany will wei
come proposals for peace, and that her peace
terms have been modified by the exigencies of
unequal war.
The first will read the chancelor's speech
with glow of pride at the mission to which he
points as Germany's. The second will remem-
Der tie violation of Belgium as Germany s first
step in this war which she now proclaims is
for the peace of all Europe and particularly
for the protection of the lesser nations.
Neutral observers, in the United States gen
orally are likely to reach the opinionlthat Ger
many hopes the Allies will agree to a compro
mise Fl may be significant that the chancellor
does not refer to Alsace-L Lorraine. Were he
to refer to it he could do nothing but say that
Geimany would not yield on this point. Taken
in conjunction with his declaration that the in
dependence of Belgium and Poland must be
assured, his peace conditions. are likely to be
read as distinct notifications from the de-
mands Germany has popularity been supposed
to hold ready for utterance at the first hint of
peaeeenegotiations.
The chancellor's speech is not militarist In
fact, its tone is surprisingly paciist. And none
Of the bitterness which the German journalists
have been showing in their references to the
United States is evident when the great chan
cellor speaks.
In its comment upon present conditions still
more in its revelation of possibilities for peace,
the chancelor's address is quite notable enough
for the great length in which it has been tele-
graphed over the United States and cabled to

HAWAII TOGET
MUCH PUBLICITY

Jack London has proved that he is
big booster for the Paradise of the
Pacific, and he intends Eeeping up his
record, by sending a special article to
the Cosmopolitan magazine on the
beauties of Hawaii. These articles
will be followed by twek Others on the
same topic in the near future.
Hearst controls the Cosmopolitan
Magazine, and inasmuch as the publ
cation has large circulation, Hawaii
will naturally be benefited.
Special scenery for the Hawaiian
musicians now on the mainland was
one of the subjects taken up by the
members of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee at their last meeting. 1t
was decided that arrangements be
made to secure special drops" for the
many orchestras playing at the vari-
Gus resorts throughout the country.
One of the plans suggested that the
curtains bring out the charm of the ISL
and scenery and give the mainlander
an idea of the beauties of the Para
disc of the Pacific. In this way Ha-
