EXPLAINS POWERS OF COUNCILOF STATE.

Body May Pass Appropriations, ButShall Make No Laws Routine Mat-ters In the Cabinet.

President Dole received by the Peking a letter from Secretary Hay ex-plaining his telegram of last week Inregard to the powers and duties of theCouncil of State. It appears from Itthat the Council Is given cdmplete legislative powers in the matter of appro-priations, but has nothing to do withlaws. The point raised in the meetingyesterday as to whether or not theCouncil had the power to amend a billsubmitted to the Executive, is notcleared up by the letter.

The detailed Instructions, however.gives the Cabinet more certain sailingas there is no longer a doubt as to theintentions of the central overnment Inrespect to the Council of States. It iscertain that that body Is clothed withthe ordinary legislative powers in thematter of appropriations, subject to Itsown rules.

At the Cabinet meeting this morningMr. Mott-Smlt- h read a letter from Mr.Hartwell In which It Is stated that theHawaiian BUI in the House will bevoted upon on April 5.

It was voted that the Governmentlot at the kerosene warehouse be turnedover to the Minister of the Interior forthe purpose Of establishing upon it agarbage crematory.

The matter of the application of theBoard of Health for more funds forthe suppression of the bubonic plaguecame up and It was decided to recommend to the Council of State the passage of a bill appropriating the sumof $240,000 for such expenses.

STIRRING , COMMUNICATIONS BYLEUNG CHI-TS-

It Appears As An Open Letter In theFirst Number of Sun Chung KwockBo Issued Today.

The flrst issue of the "Sun ChungKwock Bo," or "Young China," thenew reform Chinese paper was issuedtoday, and in its way and in its fieldhas achieved as great a success as Rev.Charles M. Sheldon's Christian daily,the Topeka Capitol. Hundreds of copies have been sold, orders and sub-scriptions coming from every part ofthe Islands. The paper has Its editoriallooms In the old Salvation Army hallut the corner of Nuuanu and Kingbtrects. The Salvation Army mottoeson the walls have not been disturbed,but notices and announcements In bigChinese characters' have been pastedalongside of them, so that one cominginto the office Is confronted with theannouncement in big letters in Englishthat "God Is Love,' while just below itIn big Chinese characters may the announcement that subscriptions are payable in advance.

But it was u busy place this morning,this old Salvation Army hall trans-formed Into the edltorlul rooms of apaper devoted to the reform of a. country that is thought or as the very typeof the unchanging and the Immemorial.Chinese of all social ranks and walksIn life were coming and going. Manybought copies of the paper and foldingthem carefully hid them aside theirblouses and went out. Others boughtcopies and then sat down in the chairswith which the hall is still filled to read.As fast as one pile of papers was soldanother was brought up from the printing ofllce. This issue of the paper isprinted by the Chinese system of litho-graphing. But an outfit of movabletype from Yokohama Is expected bythe China, and movable type will besused in the future.

The flrst article in the paper Is thetolutatory announcing the objects andpolicy of the paper. It Is a stirring at- -peal to the patriotism of Chinese toawake to the need of reform In Chinaby the adoption of occidental civiliza-tion and modern science and learning.It closes with this sentiment "As Amer-ica is the American's America, hishome, his fatherland the center of hishopes for all that is progressive andglorious, so China is the Chinese' Chinaand the goal of his aspirations shouldbe for her "glory and progress."

The leading article is by the reformerLeung Chi-ts- o, in tho form of art openletter to L Hung Chang. The writerbegins by recalling that thirteenmonths ago, soon after he had escnpedtrOm Peking to Yokohama, Li HuiigChang sent word to him by Count Itoand the Japanese Consul at Tientsinbidding him: "Not to be discouragedby the dangers he had just so happilyescaped, or the gloomy outlook thatwas before him. But to look on hisexile as an opportunity given to studythe civilization and humane institu-tions of the West, in preparation fora glorious career of service to his owncountry when, at a happier, but not distant day China would welcome backher loyal sons whom now she cast outor drove to ignominious death." Leur.gChl-ts- o, continuing sas that ho receiv-ed this message with gratitude and hasbeen encouraged by it ever since in hisstrivings to follow it. But he nsks theeminent old statesman Li Hung Chang,if he has been entirely true to the spiritof that message? If he has lost noneof the hope expressed In It? If he hasdone all that was In his power to bringabout that happier day when China willwelcome back her exiled sons. As tothe command of the Empress given toLI IJung Chang to offer a reward ofll'O.OOO taols for Kwang Yu Wei and hisown head, Leung Chl-ts- o makes no re-ference to that. It is a command ofthe Empress and under present condi-tions must be obeyed In honesty If notwith spirit. Besides if these headsshould be lost, there would spring upn thousand to carry on the work. Butwhile their paths are different and theirduties different he urges the venerablestatesman to be true to the spirit andhope of that message sent throughCount Ito.

HUSE MINORITY REPORT ISSUBMITTED.

Only Five Members of the Committeeiv saia to ifavor tne ocrymsersidy Cable Scheme.

NEW YORK, March 13. A Sun spec-ial from Washington says: Represen-tation Corliss of Michigan, todav nre- -sehtid the report of the minority of theHouse Interstate and Foreign com-merce Committee against the bill or-dered favorably reported last week bythe, committee, authorizing the payment of an annual subsidy of $300,000for a Pacific cable. While the commit-tee Voted to report the subsidy bill bya vote of 8 to 7, with two members absent, only Ave members, Messrs. Sher-lan- dj

Hepburn, Joy, Hawley and Lov-erin'- g,are now said to be in favor of

the bill with the amount fixed at $300,000a year. The Democratic members,Messrs. Adamson and McAleer, willmake a minority report for a lowersubsidy. Messrs Corliss, Davis, Davy,Fletcher, Mann, Muller, Shackelfordand Stewart, favor the construction ofthe cable by the Government, whileMessrs. Braham and Wanger wish theGovernment ownership bill added tothe subsidy bill as an alternative.

The minority report favors the appropnatlon or $8,000,000 for laying acable by the Government, and opposesthe subsidy bill for these reasons: Thatit grants an exclusive privilege whichwill become a monopoly, and fosters itby a public subsidy of $6,000,000 morethan half the estimated cost of the en-tire construction of the cable; that Itmakes no provision for the reductionof tariff tolls from time to time, Justlfled by the Increasing cable communlcations arising from the Inevitable expanslon of American trade and commerce; that It falls to provide for theextension of the cable to China andJapan, which is necessary for the development of trade with those coun-tries; that such cable franchise wouldlargely control the 'expanding trade andcommerce of the Pacific, and would become a monopoly of great value. Jus-tifying its construction by private Interest without such liberal subsidy.

In the Judgment of the minority themilitary and naval interests, as well asthe expanding trade and commerce ofthe country, demand the constructionof the cable by the Government, and Itsmaintenance and operation at the low-est possible rates, as an aid to the tradeof the United States, and a protectionto their people.

The report takes up the estimatedcost, of constructing and operating theproposed, rable. and makes a compari-son wlHi the cables across' th! Atlantic,reaching the conoluslon that the rev-enues of the Pacific cable nt the end offive years after construction would besufficient to cover the expense of main-tenance, operation and repairs, andwould thereafter 'insure free messagesfor the Government and the lowest pos-sible tariff rate to American trade andcommerce.

PAUELUA WAIOLOE'S VERY LONGCAREER.

Saw Kamehameha the Great When SheWas a Girl Gives Her Age as aHundred and Eight.

Pauelua Waloloe, the aged Hawaiianwoman who was reported by a sanitaryinspector as being destitute and in needof Immediate assistance, but who Is not,gives ner age as ius. she says hermemory runs back to days before thehaole came to Hawaii, and when Ka-mehameha

ofthe Great was lighting his

battles 'to conquer all the islands.The old woman Is still able to talk

with plenty of vigor and has an activemind. She can walk around and upand down stairs without any assistanceand seems good for a much better rec-ord

orfor longevity than she has now. She

Is living with her granddaughter, In asmall house on Kuaklnl street, whereshe has been ever since quarantine pre-vented her going back ito Puna. As ItIs, she has become enamored with theKuaklnl street place, and says she willstay there with her granddaughter,whose name in Kaonohl.

Pauelua Waloloe says that she sawthe great Kamehameha when she was Isfifteen years old. He went to Hawaiito break rock so as to make the raincome, says the old woman, and she inthinks he had the right Idea. Doesn'tthe white man break the rocks and digto get water, and with success? Thatshows that Kamehameha began rightlyanyhow.

The missionaries had not come to Ha-waii

awhen Pauelua attained years of

discretion. She says she was marriedbefore the haole came. Her memoryextends back to the days when Kame-hameha was In the midst of his careerof conquest that came tb a climax whenhe drove his enemies over the Pall. ItIncludes the events of five Kameha- -meha's reigns together with those of alltheir successors, and the revolution thatput an end to them all. But Paueluadoes not know very much about his-toric affairs or politics. Asked if shewas glad the haole came she smiled andsaid through an Interpreter that shehad "mashed" two of them.

Kamehameha the Great, died In 1819,and the missionaries came In 1820, sothat the woman s statements that shesaw the great king and that she wasmarried before the missionaries cameagree with one another, and indicatethat she must be at least 100 years ofage. Her daughter says she has beentold that the old woman Is 113.

As learned from inside source- - m"objects of the party is to "put li theright man, Independent of RepuMU-a- r

Democratic nominations or princlclples." In other words, the partv willendorse the set of candidates lmrss-ln- g

It as being the best, and will sup-port the slate Independent of either ofthe. great parties. If the Repub'put up the best slate, It will be endors-ed; 'if the slate of the Democni'h iibetter, that will be supported. If boththe slates are no good, tha Independents-ma-

create one of their own, but thisnot anticipated nt present,

"Our objects," said a principal .r theorganization, "Is 'to get the best

office, Irrespective of politics, Weexpect to launch an organization thatwill hold the balance of power, n Itwill be Republicans and Demo MtF,People's Party and Prohibition nJvo--cates, and out of the whole we will get

concentrated opinion and bai." ofaction In favor of the best candidatesIn the field. We will be different fromthe Independents and Mugwumps otnational politics in that we will haveno axe to grind."

The list of names given by The Star'sInformant as being supporters of thoparty, or listed as supporters thereof.Is a strong one. Much, however, de-pends upon the personnel of the meet-ing to be held.

NEW CHOIMUCH REBUILDING ACROSS THE

RIVER.

Many Structures" for Small Stores andHomes Going Up on King and Llllha.Streets.

The question of where the new Chinatown Is going to be Is solving itselfvery rapidly. The Chinese have chosentheir own Dlaces to rebuild as fast asthey were able or were allowed to doso, and very many of them have goneto the district of which the corner ofLlllha and King streets Is the center.

The amount of building going on mthis district indicates that those whowanted to see Chinatown rebuilt acrossthe river, are quite likely to realizetheir desire. A considerable district isalready given over to the small storesthat are characteristic at Chinatown,and there Is a regular boom In building.On King street, beyond the Oahu Building and Lumber Company, a long rowof stores with rooms above is goingup, extending to Llllha street. Beyondthe latter street are some more, ana rora whole block up Llllha street fromKing, there is building on both sides ofthe street. The structures are verymuch like those which were burneddown, along the Walklki side of Riverstreet.

ill! HiBOERS BEAT A HASTY RETREAT

' NORTHWARD.

Roberts Makes a State Entry Into theCapital, and Is Received With Enthu-siasm By the People.

LONDON. March 15. A dispatch tothe Dally Chronicle from Bloemfontelndated Tuesday evening, March 13thsays:

Bloemfonteln surrendered at 10 o clonetoday. It was occupied at noon. President Steyn, with a majority of the flght- -lng burghers, has fled northward.

General French was within live milesof the place at 5 o'clock Monday after-noon. He sent a summons into thetown threatening to bombard unless Itsurrendered by 4 a. m. Tuesday. Awhite flag was hoisted Tuesday morn-ing, and a deputation of the TownCouncil, with Mayor Kellner, came outto meet Lord Roberts at Spitz Kop,five miles south of the town, making aformal surrender of the place.

Lord Roberts made a state entry ntroon. He received a tremendous ova-tion. After visiting the public bulldlngtfho went to the olllclal residence of thePresident. followed by a cheeringcrowd, who waved the British flag andsang the British national anthem. Theywere In a condition of frenzied exolte- -tnent.

Monday afternoon, previous to thesurrender, there had been a little snip-ing and shelling, but the enemy retired.Lord Roberts has his headquarters ntthe President's house, and them arc- -many of the British wounded In thobuilding. The railway Is not Injured.

The following Is the text of LordRoberts' dispatch to the War Office an-nouncing his occupation of Bloemfon-teln:

"BLOEMFONTEIN, March 138 P.M. By the help of God and by thebravery of her Majesty's soldiers thotroops1 under my command have takenpossession of Bloemfonteln. The Brit-ish flag now flies over the Presidency,evacuated last evening by Mr. Steyn,late President of the Orange FreeState. Mr. Fraser, member of the lateexecutive government; the Mayor, thesecretary to tho late Governor, theLandrost and other officials met me twomiles from the town and presented mewith the keys of the public offices.

"The enemy have withdrawn from thoneighborhood and all seems quiet. Theinhabitants of Bloemfonteln gave tnetroops a cordial welcome."

The above dispatch, though datedTuesday, was not received at the WarOtTlce until 7:30 p. m, Wednesday. Itwas made public a few minutes before9 o'clock. The delay is attributed tothe field ts'.egraphs not being connectedwith Bloemfonteln on Tuesday evening.Extra papers are already out on thestreets and the night crowds of Londonnre singing patriotic songs and engag-ing in demonstrations.

LONDON, March 15. A dispatch tothe Dally Mall from Bloemfonteln, dat-ed Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, says'

"We surprised and outflanked theenemy with Irresistible force over night.General French held the enemy northand south of Bloemfonteln, while LordRoberts dispatched a prisoner on pa-role, threatening to bombard unless thecity surrendered. The townsmen be-came alarmed. Prsldent Steyn and thechief members of the executive councilfled and proclaimed Kroonstadt to bethe capital;

"Steyn fled to wlnberg. At last only3,000 fighting men remained and In themorning, finding themselves so wakened, broke their guns. Others fled.The remnant still shelled GeneralFrench at dawn, but the oppositionsoon collapsed. Eight locomotives indmuch rolling stock were captured. TheBoer organization Is collapsing and thebreach between the Free Staters andthe Transvaalers Is widening.

"Major-Gener- al Frettyman has r eenappointed Military Governor of Bloem-fonteln. Lord Robertsi and his staffhave ridden through the town and beeneverywhere cheered. The British na-tional anthem Is enthusiastically sungby tho population, the shops are gladlyopening and there Is general rejoicing'inJOHANNESBURG PROPERTY WILLBE BLOWN UP.Burghers Have Fallen Back Upon Their

Regular Line of Defense Will Fightto the End.

NEW YORK, March 14. MontagueWhite confirms the rumor that theBoers will utterly destroy JohannesburgIf forced to do so. Pretoria could not bedefended, he says, if Johannesburg werepermitted to remain.

NEW YORK, March 14. A dispatchfrom President Kreuger to the EveningJournal, dated March 13, 8 p. m., viaBerlin, says:

"The burghers will only cease fightingwith death. Our forces are returningIn good order to our line of defense onon our own soil. The Natal campaignwas longer in our favor than we expected. The British will never reachPretoria. The burghers, Steyn, Joubertand myself, as well as all others, areunited. There are no differences. Godhelp us."

PRETORIA, Monday, March 12 (viaLourenzo Marquez, Tuesday, Marcn 13).

Lord Salisbury's reply to PresidentsKreuger and Steyn causes bitter tilsappolntment, and State Secretary Reltzsays It means that the war will befought to the bitter end.

LONDON, March 15. The Dally Mailhas the following dispatch from Pretorla. dated Monday. March 12:

Lord Salisbury's reply has been re-ceived and a Boer refutation of theBritish contention Is under conslderatlon. It will deny that any annexationhas been made; It Will declare that theoccupation of British territory waspurely strategetlc. It will express thedetermination of the two republics tolight to the finish.

A very palpable error occured In oneof The Star's editorials yesterday. Itread "Certainly we do want the place toTie called the Kerosene Hospital of In-surables." The context shows that theword "not" was left out. It should read"Certainly we do not want the place tolc called the Kerosene Hospital of

It has taken the physicians of theUoard of Health a considerable time todecide whether Mr. Levy, the hotelclerk, had plague or not.

There have been frequent complaintsduring the war about the misuse of thewhite flag. The charges have been de-nied apd' have been reiterated. A flag-lai- nt

Tfaould resort to It Is surprising, whenone considers what an Intensly relig-ious people they are. Another thing

-t-hat Is surprising Is the use of explos-ive bullets. Considerable numbers ofthese were fround In Cronje's laager.It seems hardly possible that the gen-eral was aware of the fact that suchammunition was being used, but onthe other hand, since the ammunition5s served out by the government, onemust presume that he knew. It mayhowever, have been private ammuni-tion which had been brought surrepti-tiously Into the camp. It Is to be hopedIt was. iS

A GRAND WORK.

The prospect for establishing the hos-'plt- alfor Incurables upon a firm basis

seems likely to be realized. For thepresent, until Anal arrangements aremade, the associated charities will as-sume the duty of running the Institution. Meantime considerable sums nfmoney have been promised and Mr."Young proposes a scheme for raising anendowment fund of J100.000. It Is to behoped that this plan will be effectuallycarried out and It will assure the per-manence of one of the noblest Insti-tutions In Honolulu.

There Is one thing that must be care-fully guarded against and that Is thecoming to this territory of Incurablesfrom the mainland or elsewhere. Thishospital Is for our own people, citizensor residents of the Islands. Consider-able care will have to be exercised Indrawing up the rules so as to preventIts being used as a dumping ground foroutside Incurables.

The interest in this institution Israpidly growing, and will continue toincrease as the plans become moregenerally known and understood. Notonly Is Honolulu interested, but thewhole Islands take an Interest. Al-ready money has come In from Kauai,and that Is only a beginning. Manyletters upon the subject have been writ-ten from Hawaii, and now that the

takes definite shape, moneywill come from that Island.

The Institution Is to be thoroughlyrosmopolitan In character, und themake up of Its Board of Directors a'r.dIts officers ensures this. The fact thatrepresentatives from various religiousbodies meet here upon one commonplane or charity and good will Is veryhig'n,l(leant and will do much to ensurethe success of the undertaking. Theneed of such an Institution Is nowthorqughly realized. The plague hasdime this much good. It has broughttho fact that there Is no proper placefor the care of Incurables prominentlyrearward and Interested peoplemaking a united effort. '

THE WAR.

The South African war has been goingsteadily in favor of the British, andwith the captureof Bloemfontein theOrange River Free Staters will in themain leave the Transvaal, and makewhat terms they can. The Free Staterswere led Into the war by PresidentSteyn, and they have not been by anymeans satisfied with the part they havehad to play. It Is a noticeable fact thatin the account of Lord Roberts' entryInto Bloemfontein the people are des-cribed as receiving him with enthu-siasm. This points to the fact that cer-tainly some sections of the populationwere averse to tho war, for Bloemfon-tein a a thoroughly Dutch town.

Why the Free Staters entered Into thewar seems Inexplicable except on thetheqry that they were overawed by the

Transvaal Boers, and thought that Inthe event of the success of the latterthey would suffer severely at theirhands. The Free Staters had had nocontroversy with Great Britain. TheUltlander question was nothing tothem, for there were few foreign set-tlers In their midst, and those who weresettled, were regarded with favorableeyes. There have been signs that theFree Staters felt that they were beingmade catspaws of by the Transvaalpeople. All this Is going to tell nowthat the British arms are becomingsuccessful.

The heads of the republic, however,talk about fighting to tho bitter end.One often hears statements of this kind.They are meant for effect. GeneralTrochu, when the Germans besiegedParis, announced that he would die Inthe last ditch, but he survived the siegefor many years. When things go cleanagainst one, It Is always found betterto give up than to go on losing lifeneedlessly. The truly brave man knowswhen to surrender.

The result of the war will be by nomeans disastrous to the Boers. Theywill not have the right, however, tofpreventing others from having a votingright. Their schools will not be inter-fered with, but they, will not have theright of Insisting that all childrenshould attend schools taught In Dutch.In point of fact, the Boer Idea of libertywas all for himself, and none for anyone else. It will be for the future ad-vantage of the Boer descendants tohave established a government in consonance with the modern views. Noone Impugns the bravery of the Boers,nor their honesty of purpose, though wemay doubt the honesty of purpose ofthe oligarchy that rules them.

But of this we may be sure, that onceBritish rule is established there will beno discrimination against the Boers,and that In spite of the loss of life andof treasure which the war has caused,the Boer as a British subject, will havethe same rights and privileges as anyother British subject.

SHELDONISM.

The first three Issues of the TOpekaCapitol under 'the editorial and busi-ness direction of Rev. Charles M. Shel-

don, c5'ed according to his Idea ofhow Jesus would conduct it, had ap-

peared before the City of Peking sailed.of theAbout the financial success

week's editorship under Sheldon's au'S-pic- es

there was no doubt. The subscriptions for the week's issue numberedmore than 300,000, and the streei salesthroughout the country were expectedto bring up the number sold to 500,000.The Topeka presses were unable toprint the number required and stereotype matrices were sent to Chicago andNew York from which to print the aai'.i-tlon- al

number required.That a week q the patw, with the

world wide advertising It receivedshould be financially successful was tobe expected. This success proves no-thing us to the probable success of apaper established on the lines laiddown. And It Is understood that Rev.Sheldon does not claim that It does. Sothat the whole question of the wisdomor unwisdom of Rev. Sheldon's Ideas onthe subject iemalns exactly where itwas.

As to what those Ideas reduced topractice are, the Coast papers give veryfull accounts. The paper Is largely fill-ed with articles which discuss differentphases of soclofqgy and economics. Ofi.ews as it Is commonly understood,that Is accounts of current events thehappenings of the day all over theworld, there Is very little and It Iscrowded Into tho background. Besidesthat with each or at least many of thenews articles there Is given editorialcomment, pointing a moral or enforcinga lesson. The distinction between theeditorial and the news columns Is ob-literated. Rev. Sheldon says he doesnot Intend to give his readers the new3,but such news as he thinks they ought toknow, such news as he thinks will tendto make them better. The logic of thisIs simply that if he Is to be in a posi-tion to make a wise selection, he mustknow all the news both of evil anilof good, but nobody else must becauseho alone will be uninfluenced by thatwhich Is not of an elevating character.For If he docs not know all the news,all the attainable news, how can hemake a wise enough selection to makehim mentor of all his readers, unless helies at least in large degree the attri-bute of omniscience? And consciouslyor unconsciously his whole position laan assumption of this.

Rev. Sheldon mistakes the whole pro-vince of a newspaper. A newspaper,so far as Its news columns are 'Concern-ed, is for the purpose of publishingnews. Just what constitutes news hasnever been entirely satisfactorily de-fined. Charles Dana's definition hasbeen so far the most satisfactory andhe defines news as "an account or de- -scrlptlon of any event or matter of11c Interest not hitherto published."And what province could be moreworthy than that of publishing newsas thus defined? It gives every one,who will, the opportunity to know thosethings which are the Immediate causesend Influences by which today'B con-duct must be regulated. If one were,trying to do "as Jesus would," how canho form any judgment of what Jesuswould unless he knows the facts whl:hform the complicated tangle of factorswhich involve him.

Rev. Sheldon has planned for a publi-cation but not for a newspaper.

But there Is nothing new or novel Inhis ideas, except tho point of view.They have been In practice ever slucepamphleteering began. Garrison's"Emancipator" was conducted on ex-actly the same lines. Every "organ"is published with the same Ideas. Shel-don would print, not a newspaper, butan organ of "Sheldonlsm."

How much of this Is due to thedisappearance of slave labor, which ex- -isieu in, an me cane-prouuci- territoryat, the beginning- of the period underreview ,1s left to the consideration ofeconomists and sociologists, but It Is afact that the world's sugar cane cropof 1899 would little morethun supply thedemands of the United States alone,after deducting the home consumptionof the countries In which It Is produced.

The total cane-sug- ar crop of the

of New York, Is given at 2,862,000 tons,uiiu, wun lew exceptions, inciuueslocal production for home consumptionwherever known," while the figures ofthe Treasury Bureau of Statistics showthat the total sugar Importations of theUnited States In the calendar year 1899were 1,904,170 tons, so that if all thecane-sug- ar product of the world In 1899were massed together, and the localconsumption of the countries of Its pro-duction deducted, the remainder wouldlittle more than equal the Importationsof the United States alone In that year.
