Whatever may be the senti ment of the mainland relative to the existing Japanese war scare and the recommendation of the President that the Japanese ad mitted to citizenship, the people of the Hawaiian Islands regard fie present situation as exceed ingly grave, and, furthermore, view with the keenest alarm the future of Hawaiiain even, of the President's recommendation be ing entcted by Congress. Notwithstanding denials from Washington, the rumor still preveils here that two regiments of Japanese veterans, fully officered from a colonel dawn, are in and about Honolulu, wait ing the signal to take posession of this city, No outward . evi dence of such military organizi tion is given but the secret atrents of the United States government haveobtained details that caused them to cable the I information to Washington. Tne members of these regi ments are working in various capacities in and abcut the city. A very sigdificant fact has been observed about the character of the Japanese who have been coming to Honolulu lately from Japan. It has been noticed that the recent arrivals have been a hardier and better setup class of men than those who. formerly came. Mmy of them have been weariug their war medals, and this display of war records has been especially noted by obser vers, In view of the development of trouble between the two nations the arrival of this particular character of men is regarded with considerable significance, The knowledge of these conditions and the further realization that in event of war the scene of most desperate hostilities would be at Honolulu and on Oahu, are caus ing a great deal of apprehension, Negro Troops Shoot at Car.

Fourteen of the negioes have been placed under arrest and Capt. Walsh of the regiment is making a rigid investigation into the cause of the shooting. Tbe trouble has created a great deal of excitement here, The colored trooos at Fort Leaven worth, jast north of the city, fear that the out break will have some of the results to them that the Brownsville affair had for the negro troop 3 there.

Mustard, of this city, members of the Thirty-fourth Indiana Infantry in the civil war, haveobtained the last photograph of the last man Killed in the' civil war John Jefferson Williams, of Jay county. "It is on record that the last battle of the civil war was the one in which Jeff Williams was kill ed," said Mr, Mustard. "It was fought on May 13, 1865, almost a month after the surren der of Lee to Grant. The pro longed campaign of our regiment was accounted for Decause of delay m getting word to us to lay j aovn our arms, we got imo; our arms. that last battle when we went to the relief of some colored troops who were foraging for beef cattle, and were charged on by Confederates- Jeff Williams was the only man killed, "The boys carried his body to near Brownsyiile, Tex., where it was buried. About ten days afterward our regiment was marching into Brownsville, Tex., to take that town, when we met j Confederates who did not oppose us and explained that the war was over.

Watterson has A Southern Candidate, Charlotte Observer, The sentiment in favor of the nomination of a Southern man by tbe Democratic party for President in 1908 is growing most cratif vingly, and the follow ing editorial fro n the Washing- .

He may be found in littie Delaware; he may orprn otmn rQOi bread was; but even in Kentucky the making of sure-enough corn bread is rapidly becoming a lost art, just as Democracy got to be a lost art, so far as the Demo cratic party is concerned, some ten or a dozen years ago. "But there are some real Democrats left, just as there is some real corn pone left in Ken tucky, and the Democratic party is likely to be on a voyage of dis covery a year or sixteen months hence. Gray, Rayner, Williams, Culberson there are plenty of them between Deleware bay and the Rio Grand mouth. "Mr, Root lately made a speech that awakened the Democratic conscience of the Sonth- There is some dispute as to the correct interpretation of Mr. Root's sreech, whether it was a threat or a warning, Some folks say it was a bugle call to patriots to the support of State's rights; others saw in it a f uneril oration pronounced on dead and done for State's rights. "Whatever it really was, it made mighty logical the Demo cratic party's search for a South ern man to captain the Democra tic squad in 1908." It would be perfect delightful tc those men who do not change readily, but who still believe in the Democracy on which they tUQity tQ- shout aad fop any were raised, to nave an oppor- f f. , . named or for any one of many others who could be named, -and ; to feel again the thrill that they remember so pleasantly but have not experienced for "some ten or a dozen years."

When a man enters the United States navy he is selected for his physical fitness as well as mental ability. For that reason and because the seaman's life is healthful there are few cases of chronic disease among them. There are particularly few con sumptives among the sailors. But the Navy Department Las made arrangements for treating these according to the most scientific methods. "When a 'lunger,' as the sailors call hiai, is discovered he is given instructions to proceed to Pensacola, Fla., where the sanitorium for cousumptiyes is located,' says Guy F. O'Donnell, of the West Side, who was formerly in charge of the sani torium. "This sanitorium is nothing more than an outdoor camp.

Foraker and his backers have decided to fight the President on the negro troop incident, with Mingo Sanders as the issue. Sanders is a "Santiago bero."lI The New York Times' Washing ton correspondent says that ''Republicans who have chosen t make direct issue with the osident oyer the executive! ! order and what thtv i j to term Executive threats, are already asserting that Sanders haa a better record as a soldier than either Roosevelt or Wood can boast, If nothing better can be done for Sanders, a bill will be urged giving him a pension for life at th. rate of pay ha received as sergeant If the President vetoes the bill, an effort will be made to pass It overh's veto." The object of Foraker's attack on the Presi dent is becoming quite well understood. It is to gain power in the national Republican con vention through the negro vote and to strengthen hia bands in the Ohio factional row. The Times says: "Hanna controlled the negro votes in two National Conventions. Fo raker wants to direct them in one. The negro vote cast in a Republican Nation al Convention is the greatest asset a politician can hae, The negroes will insist upon repre sentation in every Southern delegation. Where they are denied they will contest. Their full representation would give them a larger vote than New York and the New England States combined. In States like Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia, where the negroes hold the balance of power, the President's enemies will also be active.'' The whirligig of time certainly brings' changes. Who would have supposed, twenty years ago, that the time would ever come when the negro vote would be used for the undoii g, politic all?, of a Republican President, A MIRACULOUS CURE.

It is really astonishing how much better the European es sayists know President Roose velt than we know him here. Scarcely a day passes withcut a profound judgment of him from their pens. Liberty describes him as no superman, but a man of "average faculties." No average man could be interested in so many things at the same time and write about them so fluently and firmly. This last analyst could not have read the six messages issued in as many days, including the account of the inspection af the Canal Zone in three days. Whatever Mr. Roosevelt's admirers and critics may say of him, he is not a man of "average faculties,' Read, for sample, his latest message to the people on the Ancient Irish Sages in the Century just is sued, It is a mistake to use a violet cathar tic to open the bowels.

Chicago Examiner Anent strange cases, a lawyer said that a hog had been tried for mnrder, convicted, and hung, "At Claremont yin, in France," he said, "a huge hog killed and ate a child. The people, horror striken, treated the hog as they would have treated a human being. They tried it." He took down a book bound in gray calf. "Here is the verdict," he said, ''the original of which is Kept in the National Museum of Paris. It is dated June 14, 1494, and it reads: "We the jury in detestation and horor of this crime, and in order to make an example, and to sat isfy justice, have declared, judg ed, sentenced, pronounced and appointed that the said hog, now detained in the abbey as a pris oner, shall, by the executioner, be hung and strangled on la gib bet, near the gallows which now stands within the jurisdiction of the monk. In witness whereof we have sealed this present with our seals." For chapped and cracked hands notfi ir g is quite as good as an application of D - Witt s Witch Hezel Salre.
