' It Is now stated on tho very highestauthority that the new contract of thesugar planters with the American Su-
gar Refining Company does not containone o the most Important clausesof the old, a clause to which the plant-ers have always strenuously objected, Inbut which they have never before beenable to have eliminated.
This clause Is the one providing thatsugar shipper to San Francisco shallbe sold to tho trust at three eights ofa cent a pound below the New Yorkquotation of the day of arrival. Thishas been known as the San Franciscodifferential, and has always been re-
garded by the planters as practically arobbery of that much from the pricethey ought to get. The ostensible rea-son for this differential was to equalize

order to enforce the differential, allthe contracts In the past have contain-ed clauses determining what propor-tion of the sugar shipment for herewere to go to the Atlantic coast andwhat proportion were to go to SanFrancisco.
If the differential clause has beenknocked out of the new contract, itmeans that an additional $7.50 a tonwill be received by the planters for allsugar shipped to San Francisco, In thofuture over what has been received inthe past.

MAY ESCAPEALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 26. The sheriff from Cleveland, Ohio, who came
here to take Dr. Chadwick to Cleveland to stand examination on a chargeof forging the name of Andrew Carnegie to alleged worthless securities, hasbeen refused extradition for the prisoner.
Mrs. Chadwick, who is the alleged principal in the swindles perpetratedon various banking institutions of the country, by means of the worthlessendorsements, is already under arrest in Cleveland.
The series of disclosures over the Chadwick case forms one of the mostamazing stories in connection with recent financial dealings. On thestrength of a weird story to the effect that her real father was Andrew Car-
negie, the multi-millionai- re iron master, Airs. Chadwick seems to have beenable to get whatever money she pleased from the Citizens' National Bankof Oberlin, Ohio, as well as from other banks in Pittsburg, Cleveland andColumbus. She raised the different sums on notes which bore the endorsa-tio- n
of Carnegie's name, but he entirely repudiates the woman and the sig-
natures. It is believed that dealings amount to over five mil-
lions. Her husband was arresteihin New York charged with being her ac-
complice. Mrs. Chadwick is now in jail in Cleveland as she could not raiseth.e necessary bail.

JAPANESE DECIDE TO ABANDONUNTIL SPRING THE ATTEMPTTO RAISE RUSSIAN WARSHIP.
The Jnranese have abandoned theirattempt to raise the Russian cruiserVarlag which lies sunk In the harborof Chemulpo. Not until the presentseason breaks will any further effortsbe made to raise the vessel.
Dr. Georce Marshall Mayers of theUnited States Navy Is a through pas-senger on the S. S. China for the main-land. Ho had been In Chemulpo forsome weeks shortly before leaving theOrient. He was attached to the cruiserRaleigh. He said that the Varlag hadsettled considerably and was muchdeepqt In the mud when he left, thanshe had been a month before. At hightide the vessel Is completely submergedA Japanese admiral had been In chargeof the work of raising the craft but hensked to be relieved from that service.Tho request was refused. The futilityof trying to get the vessel up at thistime of the year was so apparent how-ever that the Japanese had decided notto try nnd get the vessel up this win-ter.
The Varlag was sunk In the engage-ment at Chemulpo at the opening oftho wnr between Russian nnd Japan.She and tl e Koreltz a gunboat, werecaught In Chemulpo by the Jnps anddestroyed. It has since been claimedthat the Russians themselves, sunk theVnrlag to prevent her being taken bythe enemy.
It is said that the Japanese aresteadily reinforcing the armies in Man-churia. Passengers by the China sawC.OOO Japanese soldiers landed at Che-mulpo In one week. The Japanese
have been st adlly sending men thro jghChemulpo to reinforce the Manchuriunarmies.

TOGO TO FIGHT
OFFJWPISNAVAL MEN BELIEVE JAPANESE
WILL MEET BALTIC FLEET OFFTHE PHILIPPINES.
According to the belief oC Americannaval men In the Orient, the 'big navalengagement of the war will not occurIn Chinese waters but will be foughtsome where In the vicinity of of thesoutherl end of the Philippine Islands.It Is pretty well understood among;naval men that Admiral Togo Intendsto engage the Baltic Sea fleet In thatvicinity.
The water Is smooth In those lati-tudes and as the Japanese naturallydesire smooth water for their big fightwith the Russians, they are going
off the engagement In southernwaters. The waters are very roughIn China nnd Yellow seas at this seasonof the year, so the Japanese navalforces are going south to meet the Rus-sians. The general belief now Is thatthe Jnpancse will win but the fortunesof war are so uncertain that a Russianvictory would not surprse foreign navalolllcers In the Far East.

HOW THE GLADSOME HOLIDAYPOINT OF UNCLE SAM'S DOMINIONS THE SHOPPING AND
NOISE OF SATURDAY THE FESTIVITIES AND FAM-
ILY GATHERINGS THE RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
,. .. !f , :
Christmas proper has come and gone,for while the olllclal celebration Is tobe held today, It Is safe 'to say thatninety-nin- e people out of a hyndredheld the proper day, as theholiday of the year.
And a merry Christmas It was Indeedln Honolulu. The mirth and jolityreally began on Saturday evening whenevery down-tow- n street was jammedwith holiday shoppers, young and old,who tramped up and down, in and outof shops looking for Just such articlesas they thought might bring pleasureto friends or relatives. People of alldegrees of wealth jostled elbows.There was the man of means puylng nilsorts of prices for elaborate mechanicaltoys for his youngsters and beside himwould be a hard working man whocould just find enough to buy somecheap little doll for the baby at home.Both met on a common ground foronce, for costliness has nothing what-ever to do with the value of presentsln tne far-seel- eyes of childhood, Asthe closing hour began to come alongthe clerks In 'the different shops werehard put to it to keep the customersmoving and the merry clang of thecash register sounded like a continuous obllgato. There was joy amongthe sales people when the order to closecame and all went home at last thor-oughly satisfied that they had done agood day's work Indeed.
Meanwhile the crowd that had madeIts earlier in the week sawlit to enjoy itself In many pleasantways. There was a jolly uance at theHawaiian where hundreds of guestsand frlends kept the gayety up untilmidnight brought Sunday and over atthe Young a Christmas tree of hugeproportions was raised In the loungingroom. Where all the people came fromwas the mystery for while the streetswere crowded, the different social functions were well patronized and It wasat the same time a poor family indeedwhich did not have some sort of a func.tlon at home. Not the least busy mendown town, It may be werethe suave and white aproned ones whopreside where there are polished mir-rors, cut glass decanters and their accessories.
Then at the homes all over the city,when the children had been put to bedwith the most mendacious assurancesof what Santa Claus would or wouldnot bring them if they did not go tosleep at once, the fun of Christmas tree

remarked,
climes their absence' seemed to precludethe possibility of It's being Christina?at all, but the feeling of strangenesssoon wore off when the real ChristmasBplrlt soon made Itself apparent. Theturkey census shrinkage had begun toshrink a week or so earlier and thecause was apparent when the Christ-mas dinners began to be served lnevery part of the city. All of the ho-
tels had their special bills of fare,while the family tunction3 were In-
numerable.The unfortunates whose Christmas
had to be spent within the frowningwalls of Oahu prison were not forgot-ten for their frugal faro was Increasedwith generous allowances of meat andvegetables and in the afternoon themessage of good-- was broughtthem by many wilting workers.
All of the churches held special ser-vices and the attendance was extreme-ly largeat each of them. At the Cen-tral Union Church Rev. Dr. Kincaldpreached In the morning with "TheChild-Kin- g" as his subject, a specialChristmas praise service was held lnthe evening. At Si. Andrews there wasa celebration of the communion nt 7 a.in., choral morning prayer at 11 andevening prayer at 5. The musical ser-vice was particularly line as was thatat St. Clements where special Christ-mas music was rendered also. Massewere said at the Roman Catholic Cath-edral from 4:30 in the- morning until9:30 and solemn pontifical high masswas celebrated at 10 o'clock. At threethere was a confirmation service, andnt seven. Father Stephen preached on"The Birth of Christ" In the Portu-guese language. At the church of St.John the Baptist and at St. Joseph's,Moanalua, there were also special ser-vices.
The Methodist Episcopal Church ser-vices were of the prevailing Christmasnature, carols and exercises by thechildren being given ln the morning,and a special sermon by Rev. JohnWadman being preached at the even-ing service. The Christian Church, theGerman Lutheran and the Latter DaySaints remembered the day with ap-propriate services and the SalvationArmy held a holiness meeting In themorning, afterwards visiting Oahuprison to take words of comfort to thedistressed ones there.
The glorious weather of the after-noon tempted many people to the Wai-ki- kl
beach and there was also a largecrowd at Makee Island to hear the concert by the Territorial Band underCapt. Berger.
The contrast offered by the down-town streets on Saturday and Sundaynights was startling. Last night in-
stead of the noisy crowds bustling upand down, the place looked like a cityof the dead. Save for an occasionalpoliceman or an even more occasionalwayfarer the streets were silent anddeserted.
The day passed off without mishap ofany kind and Honolulu's Christmas of1904 will live in thousands of memoriesas a day of pure delight.
DEDICATION OF MOOHEAU HALL.EVENING DRESS AND MEDALS
SIMPLE BUT IMPRESSIVE CEREOF THE DAY.
count the program has been somewhatchanged. The Admiral was quite Indlgnnnt with the facetious remarks appearing In another paper, which he regarded as an attempt to belittle him inthe public eye.
'I have half a mind to throw thewhole thing up," was the Admiral's remark on reading the article referred to"I have no Intention of appearing Inevening dress suit wth my medals, forIt would not be appropriate. Mydaughter has long been u social leader1n Honolulu, but this occasion will beher Introduction for the first time toHllo society. There will be no bottleof champagne broken ln the dedication,as I nave concluded such a ceremony1s not ln keeping with the opening of
public hall."My present Idea is to have the Hllo
band present and possibly a Hawaiianquintette club to furnish music for theoccasion. Mr. Richards, chairman ofthe Park Board, will preside nnd Intro-duce the speakors. There will bo apresentation speech by myself, afterwhich some one will accept the Pavilion on behalf of the public. Rtv. S. L.Desha will make- - a few romarks ln Hawaiian and offer n prayer. The affairwill b Hlmple but Impretwtlve, nnd Ihope the- people of Hllo do not regardthe ceremonies hh nn exhibition orFhow."

Hope For ReformI Jn RusssiatL.
It seems now that the cable announcement that the had toldtho zemstvos that their agitationwas useless, was in so faras deduction was drawn from Itthat theie was be no reform atall. Later caoles indicate that the
powers of the Zcmstvo are to be increased as well as those of the LandCouncils. What would seem to be the proper Inferences from cables sofar received are that the agitation for a representative from allover the empire with legislative powers will be useless, but that the peopleare to be given some sort of a gathering through which they can make theirwants known.
j- - The Zcmstvo which is really a gathering of landed proprietors, was es-
tablished by Alexander II, who freed the serfs, and was Intended by him asa means by which the needs of the rural could be brought to theattention of the government. The reactionary spirit which made headwayunder Alexander's successors, seems to have made nugatory the originalhope that animated its creation. However, it seems only hope deferred,because when the time came, and opportunity was ripe, Prince Mirskyfound the Zcmstvo actually in existence, even if they had not been of anyreal usefulness so far as reform and representative government went, andready, it is to be hoped, to become now, the real instrument of reform.
Prhnps Russia is not yet ready for such sweeping reforms as the Zeni-stv- o
proposed. Perhaps real progress will be mode fastest by going slowly.Possibly the Czar is the great statesman It has been claimed he Is, and notthe mere bigoted, morbidly religious weakling which it has been said inmany quarters he is.

The number of those who are choosing the mis-sionary career is rapidly increasing. Four were looking forward to it in3902, fourteen in 1904.

assault was one reason. Othersassigned to Port Arthur the pivotal point of the war and its capture meantthe end of the war. Other explanations ascribed some significant diplomaticaspect to the capture of the fortress while another explanation has beenthat the capture or destruction of the Russian fleet sheltered in Port Arthurwas essential to continued Japanese success. From a strategical standpointthe latter explanation seems to be the most logical.
There has never been a war waged in the history of the world where theinfluence of the sea power was so great as it is in the present conflict. Itwas only by gaining the mastery of the sea that the Japanese were enabledto make war upon Russia. Had Admiral Togo's first attack upon the Rus-sian fleet at Port Arthur theat opening of hostilities been unsuccessful.there would have been no invasion of Korea and Manchuria by the Japanesearmies and consequently no war made upon Russia. Japan's entire strategyis based upon this control of the sea, once that is taken from her, Japan'spower to injure Russia crumbles in the dust.
While the of Japan is quite a compact, well training fisrhtinir ma- -chine, it would have sorely outnumbered by the combined Baltic andPort Arthur fleets of Russia.

It was with a full of theseconditions that th, asTaultsJapanese redoubled savage on the PoK

Now that the Rus-sian lleet has been destroyed It Is morethan probable that Oyama will beginsome offensive movement against 'lieRussian , before Mukden. Themost immediate necessity the dest-u- c

a very high degree of artistic merit.Others have been marked by boulders,and granite slabs with carved Inscriptions. But the great majority of themarking is done, and appropriatelydone by tablets. And In the matter oftablets there Is one point that mightbe worth the attention of those whoshall undertake the marking of thopoints of historic interest In Hawaii,It Is this, that while bronze and marbletnblets are being placed In position asrapidly as funds can be provided forthem, there are scores and scores oftablets which are merely paintedboards with the Inscription lettered onthem. The advantage of these Is thatthey mark the spot which ought to bamarked, while identification of it is cer-tain, and they can be replaced by themore durable tablets as fast as moneyIs forthcoming to do It. It might bewell In Hawaii to use the money thatfirst becomes available to mark asmany spots as possible In this waywhile Identification can still be made,leaving to further effort to securefunds, the means to make these tab-lets of durable material.

TUB HAWAIIAN STAR, MONDAY, ' DECEMBER 20, 1901. FIVE.
Hebrew prophet penned the words ofthe rest, the woflsh nature of manrecognized no rights in the child thatlie was bound to respect, no beauty Inchildhood that appealed to his admlt- -ration. Nowhere except in the Jewishhome was the child awarded its trueplace, Its true dignity; nowhere elsewas Its divine mission recognizedMothers, it Is true, had always lovedtheir children; no laws, no customs, nostate of civilization could crush outtheir divinely Implanted affection. Thechild that Homer saw running with upturned face beside the hoarse-soundin- g
sea Is the same child that ran to greetyou last night when you entered yourhome weary from your hard day swork. And with the honoring of child-hood has come the honoring of woman,and the sacredness and dignity ofmotherhood. Before the Christ-chil- d
came, women were the beasts of burden, the slaves of man. But when hecame the Marys of earth became assacred as their children. There Is anold saying to the effect, "that Godcould not be everywhere, so he mademothers." When the son of God wasborn of a woman, woman became n dif-ferent being In the estimate of theworld.
Another message that the Christ- -child brings Is that children are a gift.We forget this often. We forget thatthe song that filled the Angel's mouthsand the very heaven Itself with glory,was tho song, "Unto us a son Is born,unto us a. child Is ylven." The childcomes Into the household, and Its firstword to us Is this: "I am God's gift toyou." "Children," says the old HebrewPsalmist, "Children are the heritage ofthe Lord." And surely, of all the goodgifts God gives us In this life, therp Isnone other that bear such tokens of hislove as the gift of a little hlld. He re-
peats In every cradle the story of Beth-lehem's manger; he gives to us a spot-
less soul, innocence ns the soul of theChrist-chil- d, that we may teach it togo through the strife of life, strugglewith sorrow, battle with temptation,that we-m- ay develop innocence Intomanly 'and womanly virtue.
THE POLITICS
OF THE HOUR
WHAT THOSE WHO TAKE AN IN-
TEREST IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS
ARE DOING AND SAYING.
Despite the action of the Fourth Dis-
trict Republicans, the question of gov-
ernment officials taking active part Inpolitics and occupying places on Pre-
cinct Club committees is still a live iswhich '
r.h.; l.h.; f.through. The unexpected letter fromGovernor Carter threw little light onthe situation and pa.ty men are won-dering why he wrote fie letter at all.
"The Governor's letter Is simply a"" ' 1 asSaturday evening, after he had readthe missive through. "He says in ef-
fect that If It is a good thing to haveoffice holders on precinct committees,then It is a good thing while on theother hand, if It is a bad thing, It Is a.
bad thing. Of course this Is a form ofwhich It Is quite easy to fol-
low, but I don't see at which cornerG. R. Carter gets off. Those dear oldplatitudes about 'honest elections anda free expression of the will of the peo-
ple' are all very well In their way, butwhy does not George R. get down tofacts and tell us what he really believeand what he Intends to do? He oughtto quit quibbling."
The Republican Central Committeeevidently regarded the Governor's let-
ter as entirely Innocuous for not theslightest objection was made to Itsing published.
The practical are stillguessing as to what Is to be done aboutthe Honolulu and Hllo postmastershlps.Though the Governor has Ignored theCentral Committee's suggestion thatOat be reappointed, the friends of thepresent incumbent here have by nomeans given up the fight. J. G. Pratt isadmitted to be a good man, but It isclaimed that Oat has done excellentwork in the past and there is no plainreason for his being out.
There are complications of a differentnature In the Hllo office. J. CastleRldgway is stated to have Senator Cul-lo- m
back of him und that will be aforce to be reckoned with. GovernorCarter Is believed to favor the appoint-ment of G. Desha, and hangs atale. It Is an open secret that Dele-gate Kuhlo had promised his friendDesha vacancy In Honolulu. The

Cisco on his way to Washington, hewent to the Governor and nsked hisendorsatlon of Desha. This wm vfus- -ed and Kuhto left In a rage, at one timethreatening to resign from the olflceand the party and run again on 1111 In-

known to have been offered Job buthe respectfully declined.
Meanwhile there Is considerable spec-ulation ns to what the new legislaturehas up Its sleeve. The new County Actwill be by far the most Important pieceof legislation to be Introduced andmany of the budding solons are believ-ed to have suggestions on every possi-ble point to make when the new mea-sure 1b Introduced. Chairman Cooper ofthe County Ast commission hns takenoff his coat and gone to work on thedrafting of the act on the lines suggest-ed by the experience gained during thesittings of the commission Senator Aehlsuggested bill is not taken seriouslythough some of Its features are regard- -eu as wormy 01 note. There seems ageneral and earnest desire on all sidesto finish the work of the session within
days that If this Is be done, trip. northeastprotracted debate on the new measurewill be out of the question.

THE MAUI NEWS.A movement Is 011 foot which, it
will culminate during the com-ing week In the Incorporation nnd en-largement of the News plant. It Isabout time that this should be done,for the only paper and job plant onMaul deserves a larger field and n moreuseful career than It has heretofore oc-cupied. Its inception was modest andin a limited way It strove to upbulluthe Interests of Maul, with what suc-cess others must Judge. But the Maulof today Is not the Maui of five yearsago. Progress In every departmentfrom the production of sugar to thegrowth of strawberries notable, andan enlarged and newspapernnd a rounded out and completed Jobplant are needed, If the News wouldkeep pace with Maul.
A meeting of the subscribers to theproposed stock company to take overthe Maul News will be held on Wed-nesday evening, December 2S, at 7:30o'clock p. ni. at the ofHce of AttorneyD. H. Case, Walluku.

WIZARD BURBANK PRODUCES A
SPINELESS VARIETY WHICHMAY BE OF GREAT VALUE HERE
SANTA ROSA, December 10. Lutherliurbank has added another plant ofpriceless value to the world of agrtcul- -tural science. It is the "spineless cac-48- 8
tus." This will be a very valuableforage plant in the desert legions, andit is claimed as far as It Is concernedthat it will make "the desert placeblosom as the rose" with its vegetationIt Is said to be a great Improvementover the ordinary cactus, and is abouthalf as nutritious as alfalfa. The yieldin tons to the acre is greater.
Mr. Burbank's services have been secured by the regents of Stanford Uni-versity as a special lecturer on thesubject of plant breeding.
It has taken Mr. Burbank ten yearsto bring the cactus to the state of per-
fection in which he has It today, andnow, by a series of crossings and
pf different varieties fromdifferent parts of the world, he Is alin-
ing to make the plant hardier and pro-
duce more fru't and leaves. He hasat his experimental grounds here specimens of the cactus which he has robbed of thorns, having brought thethorny leaves to a state of perfectionIn which a man can rub the leaf overhas face and the surface of the leaf Is
found to be as soft up silk.With his accustomed absence of os
tentation, Burbank has worked quietlyin producing this creation, which isworldwide in its Importance. The plantwill grow luxuriantly on the driest de-
sert, where rain is Infrequent. In thisand other countries Its leaves and fruitare food for man and beast alike, nndIt will mean to some sections of theworld more than the Introduction ofthe potato was to Europe.
Today a man from the Hawaiian Isl- -
nnds called on Burbank. He had readof Burbank's work of years with thecactus. This Is what he said:
"This Is wonderful. I can rub thisnce Pr,ckly. Ieuf "P ,n dou" y
cheek am. it is so sort mat cunnuruly feel It. Down In Hawaii we havecacti growing on the desert land. Manytimes there and in this country andMexico and Texas I have seen cattleturn from the cactus plant with bloodstreaming from their mouths. Thisthornless cactus will be edible, a foodInstead of a menace to horses and cat-
tle."Mr. Burbank uttered a caution
any announcement that hiswork on the cactus wonder was perfectyet- - .. ...
"I never say perfect, he saw. "torthe realm of perfection Is boundloss. Itis truo that I have beon able to re-
move the thornn and the spicules fromtho cactus, but I must continue myexperiments and try and get a morehardy plunt, one whose leave arelarorer nnd one that yield more fruit."
"Do you not connlilor thin one ofyour greatest aueceaitee?" lie we uk-o- d.

It means the reclamation of the deserts." In vast territories where nowthere Is no food for animals, the thorn-les- s
cactus may be grown to furnishsustenance for stock. Its leaves aresaid to be more nutritious than beetsand according to Mr..

Mr. Burbank willcontinue with his efforts to produce ahardier thornless cactus, but when hehas succeeded he will turn to otherthings, leaving the distribution of theimproved plant to others.

THE CZAR INTENDS TO GIVE

ST. PETERSBURG, December 23.
The projected reforms include nn ex-
tension of the power of the Zemstvosand nn Increase In the powers of theLand Council, thus crystallising theviews of the Wltto Commission.
That kinky little word "zemstvo,"which appears so frequently In newsfrom Russia these days, is derived fromthe noun "zomlln," meaning land, andthe verb "vopeet" to clamor. Thusit slgnllles "the voice of the land," tuulIt n council of landed proprietors ap-pointed to deliberate and report to thecentral executive tho wants of the rurnlpopulutlon. It is something like nuEnglish county council without thelntter's authority, yet that authority Iswhat It now pleads for.

LIVELY EIGHT FOR
HILO POST OFFICE
A LARGE NUMBER OF APPLI
CANTS FOR THE JOB CARTER'S
ALLEGED FAVORITE.
HILO, December 22. As was surmised wl-e- n the young man quietly leftfor Honolulu, Thomas C. Rldgway Is
In Washington using the Cullom pullfor the position, not Job, of postmasterof Hilo. It is said that Mr. Rldgwaycarried with lilm the endorsement ofGovernor Carter, but this is doubted bythose in a position to know. So faras can be learned this Information wascontained in a letter from DelegateKuhio to a resident of Hilo. The apPlication of Miss Mnrlln Is in thehands of the Governor as Is that of N,
K. Lyman and W. H. Lambert. Thegovernor, however, Is said to favor G
Desha of Honolulu nnd has gone so fnias to advise him to seek bonds whichaccording to the postal regulations,must be furnished by persons livingwithin the delivery of the Hllo postoffice. Mr. Desha Is one of the bestknown of the Honolulu post office, staffwhere he has been employed for thepast twenty-thre- e years ,most of thetime in charge of the registry bureauHe draws a salary of nfteen hundreddollars a year and Is In the civil service, which means n life position. ItIs probable that the salary of the Hllooffice will be reduced next year as thereceipts of the office are falling belowthose of last year owing to the exodusof people for the coast cities.
