Con- cluding Dr. Townsend said: The environment and the temper of the Hawall are especially diversified, this environment of things is com- omogeneous. This is due largely Tsity of races, with all that that im- ugh no o is predominant in numbers ions are that the generation 1 Hawafl will consist of white s in almost equal num- Prasent indins next to be L persons and Hawall Des and of 11 rge numbers of Asiatics. These latter will not be assimilated with the other elemen r future population so as to form one people, though it is possible that the whites and the Hawailans will thus unite, in spite of radical racial differences. One prob- lem i s at aces of men in ng side by side within thout uniting. Poly- atics cannot be made to think Saxons by the stmple process m the E: & which of teaching any other proc sh language, or by s not _involve evolu- tion through nations. Yet, in the meantime, we must live togcther. What, then, Is this great race problem in Hawail? It is this: To develop a ilization wi v Christian civilization, a civ- ch like the love of Christ is broad | enough to embrace all peoples—so broad that all the races may find prosperty under its benign sway. Our Hawallan civilization should be based upon broad charity universal good will il The civilization which the active race has developed and in which it has been trained. based upon an assumption of universal selfish- ness, has precipitated a struggle in which the passive race is at a great disadvantage. It is a_melancholy fact that the influence of the white man and his civilization in contact with the aboriginal races is generally the influence of the fable of the upas tree. From the ume of the ancient Hebrews, who shut from the blessings of their civilization practically all other peoples, down to the time of the Amer- icans, who have not yet developed a civillza- tion sufficiently broad and sufficiently Chris- ian to bless the white man and the red, comes the same monotonous story. Here the native Hawallans were born and here they will die. They call for more than toleration. Who are we that we should tolerate this remnant of the ecple to Whom God gave those fair isies fresh From nis creative hand and who for mearly fifty generations have known no other home?

GRAND DUKE MICHAEL TO BE THE SUCCESSOR Czar Nicholas of Russia Names His Brother as Heir to the Throne. | ST. PETERSBURG, July 11.—The Of- ficial Messenger to-day publishes an im- perial manifesto worded as follows: “Our beloved brother and heir to the throne, the Grand Duke George Alex- androvitch, died at Abbas Tuman, | June 28 (old style). The illness which attacked him might, it was hoped, eld to the treatment initiated and the influence of the southern climate, but God willed otherwise.

NO RELIEF YET FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors met last evening and failed to do anything more than preserve tha status quo of the pretty little game of politics just now being played by the Firs Department. Representatives of nearly every improvement club in ‘the city were on hand to speak either for or against an increase in the department’s allowance in the tax levy, and there was a good bit of mighty spell-binding done. The commit- tee, however, suddenly broke off its de- liberations and adjourned to this after- noon at 2 o’clock without taking action. Fire Commissioner Bohen was heard first. He merely said he had come to get an answer from the committee to the propositions that he had made. Chairman Perrault replied that the committee had | thought that it could take a portion of | the amount asked for by the department out of the police fund, but had discovered | later that it could not. “The only other | thing we can do,” continued Mr. Perrault, “is to take $9000' out of the urgent neces- sity fund.” Chief Sullivan got up at this and said | that $%000 would carry the department over the month of July very nicely. Asked by Perrault if the amount was to be used | for salar he replied that it was not, fes were provided for and | that the s | that the $9000 would be used for fodder and the general :s of the depart- ment. i A parley among the members of the commit ensued at Perrault's desk and he subsequently announced that some of the members were not favor of ex- | tending even the tempc relief he had suggested, and that the ting would have to go over for a day or so. Al- though Sullivan had expected a_decision, and so had the half dozen heads of Im- | provement clubs who had been got into line, he made no objection to postpone- ment, and it was so ordered. The ques- tion will come up again this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Chiet of Police Lees was called upon to show cause why rtment allow- ance should not be slashed, and he did so by Informing the board that most of his apportionment was provided for by stat- ute and could not be cut. He also pointed out that under the new charter the park police would be made a part of his de- partment and incidentally he took occa- sion to say that the general expense of government would be greatly increased | by_the provisions of the charter. | "Colin M. Bovd appeared to protest | against "any reduction in_the public library fund, and Treasurer Truman and Joe Goddard, chief deputy under County lerk Deane, came {n for the same pur- pose. Dr. Barbat appeared for the Board | of Health and waved the yellow flag of quarantine wildly in an attempt to con- vinte the committee that his department would need $137,180 to pull through the year with. He held up smallpox and the | possibility of an epidemic of it as a very strong probability and wound up by read- ing the rather extensive list of employes to whom the board is now ing salaries. | “After hearing representatives of differ- ent improvement clubs in protests against curta ment w ng the Fire Department, adjourn- taken to this afternoon. ———— e DEATH REMOVES A PIONEER MERCHANT Etienne Guittard, a ploneer chocolate manufacturer of the Pacitic Coast, suf- fered a stroke of apoplexy last Monda while in Dr. Burke's sanitarfum at Santa Rosa and passed away a few minutes aft- erward. The deceased was known throughout the West and the news of his death will be received with regret by all who enjoyed his friendship. He came to this State in 1368 and established a coffee and chocolate business. His fame .as a business man was widespread and he en- Joyed a lucrative income from his splen- did investment. He was a generous man and many poor families owe their relief from starvation to his kindne During the critical period in Monterey County recently, when the residents in that vicinity were suffer- ing on account of the drought, Mr. Guit- tard quietly and unostentatiously spent his money and brought sunshine to the homes of many needy ranchers. The deceased was prominent in Masonic circles and up to the time of his illness took an active part in the order. He was | also a member of the French Benevolent Society, Merchants’ Association and kin- dred organizations.

The cities that are in the running for the honor of entertaining the National ucational Association in 1900 are Cin- cinnati, Charleston, 8. C., Asbury Park, | | N. J., Saratoga Springs, N Y., and Mon- treal. The contest practicaly has narrowed dnw}q to Cincinnati, Charleston and Mon- treal. The Carolinians have sent a strong dele- gation, headed by F. G. O'Nell, president of the Hibernia Mational Bank, and W. M. ‘Wilson, president of the Chamber of Com merce. They have opened headquarters, and are dispensing the courtesies of the South with a characteristic hospitality. The Porkopolites concede nothing, and claim that as the assoclation was created in that city in 1858, and that as it has never returned to its cradle since its natal day, no greater honor could be conferred than to have it go home and receive the paternal blessings. To all this the Canadians enter a demur- rer and plead that no fairer and more pleasant city can be found to entertain guests in _summer. This whole questis will be decided on Thursday morning, when the nominating committee meets in annual session. S ANNUAL MEETIN OF THE DIRECTORS Congratulations Cabled to the American Delegates at The Hague. 1.0S ANGELES, July 11.—The annual meeting of the board of directors of the National Educational Assoclation was called to order by President Lyte at noon to-day, the following officers being present: First Vice President J. G. Greenwood, Kansas City; Treasurer 1. C. McNelll, ‘West Superior, Wis.; Chairman Board of Trustees A. G. Lane, Chicago. Of the life directors there were also a number present and the various divisions were represented. - The treasurer’s report showed a total Tbey sre ngw Americans ip spite of them- | gmount of cash received duripg the past cision handed down by the Supreme Court of the State last Thursday is written the end of a famous contro- versy between two wealthy residents of this place, which has been fought cut in the Superior Courts for a period of nearly fifteen years. Thousands of dol- lars have been expended by both liti- gants and long ago the expense of mak- ing the legal battle footed up a great deal more than the value of the prop- erty which was the bone of contention, but both men were too stubborn to yield. | The two litigants are Jacob Garde- | ner and Ebenezer Wormouth. Years | ago the trouble between them origi- | nated over the ownership of forty acres | of land, valued now at about $1000 an | acre. They went to law and for six or | seven years the case was pending inl | [ MILL VALLEY, July 11.—In a (104; X 0 ) E ¢ x [ x ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ [ x [ x ) x 0 O AR TSYDIYETS YIS YTSYSYDIYEDAET YD YUDEDSEDYDSYDSYDIEIESIESEIEIEDIESE @ | the Superior Court of Marin County | and then passed on to the Government Land Office. The Supreme Court has | finally decided in favor of Wormouth. | The victory proves a costly one, as | between the two men about $50,000 is | | computed to have been spent in liti- | gation. One man alone made $1000 sim- | ply in publishing the legal notices re- quired by the case. Both men are cele- brated characters. It was about two | years ago that Wormouth was sand- bagged and robbed at night, and last | | summer while he was absent in Saus | lito his house was looted by a burglar. | Gardener recently had a disagreement { over the ownership of a piece of land | with another citizen, which was settled | | by his opponent bullding a shanty on the land and holding it with a shotgun. ———— | FLEES TO AVOID | PAYING ALIMONY | SAN JOSE, July 11.—Henry M. N.| Spring, Councilman and clothier, has disposed of his interest in the firm of | T. W. Spring & Son and gone to| Chicago, presumably to avoid paying | his former wife, Mrs. Emilie Spring, | $200 & month alimony. A few weeks ago Mrs. Spring obtained a divorce from her husband on the ground of in- fidelity, two San Francisco young ladies being named as corespondents. She was awarded the custody of three minor children and given $200 a month alimony. Spring went on the witness-stand and said he was penniless. This was a sur- prise, because his interest in the cloth- ing house of Spring & Son was esti- mated to be worth about $40,000, and, besides, he had other property. | To-day & bill of sale was flled by - | charged without honor from the service of the United States by the commanding officer of his station.

He will be sent to the Presidio and_will report upon arrival to the commanding officer. who will furnish him transportation to Honolulu. Corporal Charles Smith, Troop L, Third United States Cavalry, now at Fort Sheri- dan, Illinois, is transferred as a private to the Fourth Cavalry. He will be sent to_the Presidio. Private Fred Durst, Hospital Corps, Al- catraz Island, has been discharged the service of the United States. Acting Assistant Surgeon Rollin T. Burr, now at Pomona, Cal., has been ordered to report to the commanding officer at Hav- ana, Cuba. Commissary Sergeant Henry H. Alles, Fert Canby, Washington, will be sent to San Francisco and will report upon his arrival to the commanding general, De- partment of California, for assignment to duty at the Presidio. Chief Glass Reprimanded. LOS ANGELES, July 1L—Chief of Po- lice Glass was publicly and almost apol- ogetically reprimanded to-day by Mayor Eaton for insubordination in losing his temper and ‘“talking back” at Commis- sioner Scarborough and a delegation of citizens at a meeting of the Board of Po- ceded. The miners who attached the property have agreed to pay costs if the stockholders pay back wages for two months. This was mutual, and a perfect understanding seems to exist. Work will be resumed at an early date. A g WIDESPREAD PLOT TO REMOVE MILAN NEW YORK, July 11.—The Sun's cable from Vienna says: The Politische corre- spondent says that an inquiry into the recent attempt to assassinate Milan of Servia shows that it was a part of an astonishingly widespread conspiracy and was Intended as a prologue to the overthrow of the dynasty and the entire present regime. Other reports indicate that the persons arrested in connection with the attempt include three ex-Ministers, three ex-Sec- retaries of State, two Judges of the Court of Appeals, nine members of the Skupsh- tina, or parliamentary body, nine pro- fessors and a sprinkling of milit: and police officers, priests, students and clvil servants. e BIG PRICES FOR/ YEARLINGS.

Brockett, head | of the division of pomology in the United States Department of Agriculture at | Washington, D. C., notifying the Com- missioners of the allotment of space that had been made for the display of canned and evaporated goods from California. The space given to this State, though circumscribed, is one-half of the total | space allowed the United States. The | area of the compartment, however, is quite sufficient to allow the best of our roducts in this line, and none but the est will be accepted, to recelve ample notice. It is 15 feet in length, 6 feet in de'gth and 10 feet in height. here has been no space given for the display of fresh fruit preserved in glass in its natural state, but in the cases of a few exceptionally fine specimens room will be made somewhere. —_——— Given away with each cash want adver- tisement ordered in next Sunday’s Call, 4 magnificent portrait of Admiral Dewey, printed in ten colors, size 14x21 inches, ready tor framing.
