The labor unions of Honolulu are entering: into a combination against Asiatic labor. There is a great deal of work about to be done at Pearl Harbor by the National Gov ernment and It Is feared that If an order or ruling preventing the employment of Japanese or Chinese Is not secured, the Asiatics will do a great part of the work. At the same time, there is general dls- cusslon in Honolulu as to means of keeping the Asiatics on the plantations for which they were brought into the coun try. There are said to be 30.000 of them In the City of Honolulu, practically all of them deserters from plantations. Land Commissioner Boyd leaves today for Washington, by order of the terrltor t lal government, to present to the author ities there the views of the local gov ernment as to the proposed land law for Hawaii. So many burglaries and petty robberies have occurred In Honolulu recently that there Is talk of a vigilance committee, and many people have been arming them selves to protect their homes. Hold-ups have been very frequent. J. Cheek, of the Bank of Hawaii had a lively en - counter with a burglar, who chased him through several rooms with a knife. The Canadian-Australian steamship . Moana, arriving last nlgh,t from Sydney, reports a strange experience in South Pacific waters. She encountered an en tirely new current, which started her out of her" course.

Revision Committee Will 3Ieet Soon to Pat On the Finishing Toaches. PITTSBURG, JanTa. The Presbyterian creed revision committee has been called to meet In Philadelphia week after next to hear the reports of the several sub committees. It Is expected that the finish ing touches will be put on the "declara tory" statement of the things which are "most surely believed," as the subcommit tee has completed the outline. The plan is to report this short creed to the next General Assembly, as the committee feels that It will not satisfy the church simply to report progress. The statement to be Issued recognizes the fundamental doc trines of Calvinism and expresses them in popular form. It teaches the existence of God, the doctrines of divine sov ereignty, the. trinity, the divinity of Christ, the inspiration of the Scriptures, life everlasting, the atonement, predesti nation and other fundamental truths, but avoids the old phraseology around which controversy has raged In the past. The United Presbyterian General" Assem bly has also undertaken to summarize the doctrines of the confession of faith tot popular use. Chcyenncs Quieted Dovrn. MILES CITY. Mont, Jan. 21.

Everything Is reported quiet at the agency, the presence of the soldiers having a wholesome effect upon the red skins. A detachment of about 50 caval rymen has been left on guard at the agency as a precaution against further trouble. A Batte Snlclde. BUTTE.

TRANSPORT SERVICE Senate AdoptsSenator Mitch ell's Resolution. IT CALLS FOR INFORMATION Object Is to Ascertain "Whether There Has Been Discrimination and Whether Money Cannot Be Saved. WASHINGTON, Jan. 2L The Senate to day adopted a resolution offered by Sen ator Mitchell calling: on the Secretary of War for information as to the number, name and tonnage of transports now owned by the United States, with dates of purchase, from whom purchased, the price for each and terms of payment; also similar data regarding transports now held by the Government under lease, with dates, terms and duration of such leases. It also calls for a statement of the amounts paid by the Government for re pairs on each of the transports since purchase or lease, and to whom such amounts were paid. The record of num ber of trips made by each transport be tween the United States and Manila since January 1, 1S0L and by what routes and from what porta in the United States each transport sailed, together .with like data for trips made from Manila to the differ ent ports In the United States, are also desired. The final clause calls for the total cost of the transport service between the United States and Manila during the calendar year 1S01. Senator Mitchell hopes with this data to ascertain whether or not there has been a discrimination in the distribution of the transport business, and also to ascertain whether or not the present transport serv ice is more expensive than would be the shipment of troops and supplies by mer chant vessels, as proposed by Secretary Root The Barn,s Land Oflce. Although Senator Simon has asked that no action be taken on the recommendation of Representative Moody that William Farre, of Canyon City, be appointed Reg ister of the Burns Land Office, until he (Simon) has been "granted equal recogni tion with his colleagues" In matters of ap pointments, the President is very likely to make a nomination for this office in a few days, In view .of his strong desire to have Hayes relieved. The nomination of BIbee as Receiver at Oregon City Is also looked for dally. Senator Simon states that he ls-not holding -nti the rccomnM.dtTonJtt Farre, that he does not care to name the successor of Hayes, but that he does want to be allowed to name some of the more Important Federal officers of Oregon. Senator Mitchell stands now where he has been all along In favor of making no more appointments, except In case of emergency like that at Burns, until after the election In June; but Senator Simon Is anxious to have new appointments made as the terms of the present incumbents expire. Members of the delegation state that no appointments other than the two mentioned have yet been considered, and unless the President Is anxious for prompt action In the other cases It is probable no additional appointments will be made at this time. So far there has been no In timation from the White House that early recommendations are desired, and this Is taken to mean that the time for making changes will be left for the delegation to decide. Washington Appointments in Doobt The Marshalship and Collectorship Jn Washington are In more doubt than ever before. Each member of the delegation stated today that he had not the slight est idea who would be appointed to either place; that there had been several slates fixed up and successively abandoned by the President and that anything might happen at almost any time. The Presi dent this afternoon told Secretary Gage that while he would like to reappoint Mr. Heustls to the Collectorship. he hardly saw now how that could be done. This Is taken by some to mean that he will recognize Foster's man Hopkins for one position or the other. The President has repeatedly and flatly told the Senator he would not appoint Crocker to any posi tion. With Heustls eliminated, Ide's chances have risen considerably, but noth ing Is certain. Senator Foster has reached that stage regarding the matter of appointments. In Washington where he will not discuss them, saying that he Is unable to give any Information whatever. He saw. the President today, but he did not find" out whether It was true that Heustls had ac cepted the appointment or not. He did not find out whether Ide would be Col lector and Hopkins Marshal. In fact, he said that he had no knowledge of the con ditions. It Is recognized that the President Is very much embarrassed about the Ido matter. The Attorney-General insists on retaining Ide, and Senator Foster finds no fault with him whatever, declaring that he has made a good Marshal. To remove him would be contrary to the President's Idea of civil service, and yet since he has become President Mr. Roose velt has become Impressed with the Idea that Senators ought to have something to say about the various appointments In their state. He has found In this, as In other states, that It will be very difficult to satisfy his own ideas of civil service and at the same time cater to the de mands of Senators and Representatives. These conflicting situations may yet ef fect the carrying out of the original com promise. Canal Situation Unchanged. The canal situation remains" unchanged, but both sides seem to be gathering them selves for a mighty struggle In the Sen ate; when the question must be finally de termined. The friends of Nicaragua grow less discouraged over the action of the commission In reversing Its former posi tion, especially when It Is found that sev eral -things may intervene upon a lease In perpetuity of the canal route to the United States, but it is understood the Colombian Government Is willing to grant a )ease for a long term of years, but ob jects to absolute concessions for all time. There Is such a lack of definite Informa tion as 'to the concessions In Colombia, as well as the concessions In Nicaragua, the latter having been unduly delayed, that the whole matter may go over to another session, In which event it would probably mean another Congress before there Is any canal legislation. The friends of Nica ragua, however, intend to insist that noth ing more need be done, as the guarantees already offered the State Department that the Nicaragua concession will be made are all that will be needed by the United States to proceed with the construction of the Nicaragua Canal.

TAFT ENCOURAGED Says War in the Islands Is Almost Stamped Out. PROSPECTS NEVER BETTER The Land Question Is the One Great Difficulty That Presents Itself to the Government Conditions In Samar. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-Governor-General Taft, who arrived from Manila last night, landed this afternoon. Gov ernor Taft expects to start for Washing- UNITED STATES SENATORS RE-ELECTED. ton tomorrow. He will stop at Cincin nati, his home, en route. Discussing conditions in the Philippines, Governor Taft said: "I 'Wish the presswourd-corrct the Im pression that there is war in all the islands. The Insurrection Is confined .to two localities the Province of Batangas and the Island of Samar. This morning I received a most encouraging cablegram 'from General Wright, who Is Acting Gov ernor In myabsence. It said that owing to General Bell's strong repressive meas ures the trouble In Batangas Is being qui eted. He further said that 700 rifles had been surrendered, and as there are only 1100 or 1200 rifles In the province, there Is no doubt that Batangas will be as peace ful as any of the other provinces. "I don't think General Bell will have need to adopt the reconcentrado principle to Batangas. I don't see that there will be any necessity for this, as this dispatch plainly Indicates that the province Is in a fair way to pacification. "The dispatch then says that there are 843 teachers In the islands In 450 places, and 20) of. these places .are unoccupied by United States troops. I may say that the Filipino Is not hostile to the teacher. One was captured some time ago, but he was sent back In a- hammock. The inference Is plain that they entertain no hostility toward pedagogues or pedagogy. "Now, I wish to Impress upon every body that civil government Is a success. There is a strong peace party In the Islands, and It is composed of the most Influential men among the Filipinos. They are working earnestly and zealous ly toward bringing about happy relations between their countrymen and the gov ernment They are using all that is in their power to bring in the recalcitrant leaders. I have never been so encour aged as. to the prospects of the Philippines as I have within the past three months. There has certainly been a great change In the sentiment of the people. They "are bglnnlng to appreciate the fact that civil government means better times for them. "If you had seen the farewell receptions that were given me by the people on my leaving the Islands you would have real ized that there was sincerity In the ex pression of the wish for civil government to continue. Before I left I received re ports from the Governors of the different provinces, and the tone of each report was most encouraging. I am encouraged, "and shnll so report to Washington. There are 33 provinces capable of gov ernment "The only place where thero Is trouble Is in the Island of Samar. That Is the most difllcult island for. military opera tions. There are no roads, and the troops have to use watercourses when water Is pouring down the runnels to follow the natives to their fastnesses. But we are all confident that It Is only a question of a short tlriie when the island will be paci fied. "Judge Carlock, of the Court of First Instance, reported to me that the Island of Cebu was quite tranquil. Mindanao is an island of great wealth. It is as yet un developed, and when It is will be of great value. "Speaking of the Moros. they are not capable of receiving a civil government They still have tribal relations, as did our Indians, and obey their chiefs. There are two sets of Moros the river Moros and the lake Moros. The lake Moros have I been distinctly hostile to us, and were ever active against me opamarus. i am glad to say that a better feeling has sprung up among them, and they are now commencing to bring In the products of their lands and barter them. The river Moros have always been submissive. I do not wish to create the impression that the lake Moros are In a state of warfare. "The great question and difficulty that presents Itself to the government Is the land question. The titles to land are very unsettled, and It Is a difficult mat ter to adjust them." Governor Taft expects to return to the Islands about March 1. SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Captain Hartshorne, of the Seventh Infantry. Killed in Samar. MANILA, Jan. 21. Captain J. M. Hart shorne, Jr., of the Seventh Infantry, was shot from ambush and killed January 2. lln the eastern part of the Island of Sa- mar. Captain Hartshorne was recently transferred from the Ninth to the Sev enth Infantry. Owing to lack of tele graphic communication in Samar. tnc news of Captain Hartshorne's death came by mail in a report from Lieutenant Wal lace, of the Ninth. No particulars arc given. The Insurgent leader Brlocio Laque and his entire command surrendered uncondi tionally to the American military au thorities January 20 In Batangas Prov ince. Laque's command had become so scattered that it was unable to hold out any longer. He has been given one week to round up and hand over his entire party to the Americans. Deaths on the Grant.

SIMON JOB PUT UP County Court Names Elec tion Officers. THE "SLATE" IS RATIFIED Men Taken From the Aycr List, hat Associated With "Machine" Men, So Their Hands -i Arc Tied. Judges and clerks who will serve at the coming primaries and" ensuing June elec tion were announced by the county com missioners yesterday. The list is fixed up, as far as it can be, to further Senator Simon's Interests. This is apparent, and if it Is not wholly Simon, the reason la that there are not enough of Simon's par tisans. Most elaborate pretense was made of selecting names prominent in the list submitted by W. B. Ayer, but persona taken 1. i that list were in most In stanced puiced In positions where it was thought or hoped they would be able to do little or no harm to the Simon cause. To all intents and purposes the Ayer list was so much waste paper. For illustra tion, in Precinct IS. men like S. Blumauer, ' Jr., and G. E. Wlthlngton are named on the second board of judges, whose duty will be. to serve at night, and to count the ballots. It Is obvious that gentlemen like these will find such duties obnoxious and It was doubtless believed or hoped by the commissioners that their buslne&s engagements, as well as their inclination, would lead them to decline to serve. In that case the vacancies could be filled by Simon men. So It Is from beginning to end through the entire schedule. The disposition of the county commis sioners was conspicuously shown In the action taken when a number of men sug gested by Mr. Ayer for judges were named as clerks. To be exact, 47 clerks out of 3S1 were named from the Ayer list. Near ly two-thlrda of them were recommended by Mr. Ayer as Judges and not as clerks. And besides, of these, 14 are known as Simon men, leaving 33 nonpartisan. Many of the 47 are men of business prominence, who would have made desirable judges, but who will doubtlelss not find It an acceptable duty to assume the burden of routine clerical work. Many of them will probably decline to serve, and the result cannot fail to be of benefit to Simon's adherents at least, so It must have been figured by toe men who put up the job. Nearly all of the boards to which men have been appointed; who it is thought will not sorve, are otherwise wholly Simon, thus giving absolute con trol to that faction when the substitutes are appointed. Tho total number of judges selected by the County Court was 3SL Of these, 60 only were taken from the Ayer Hat Of the 60, 27 are partisan, or Simon, men, and three are Democrats, leaving 20 non-partisan. It should be stated here that Mr. Ayer's list was an Impartial selection from all parties, giving adequate repre sentation to all factions and Interests. Throughout the entire list evidences crop out of design, and not accident For ex ample, In one of the precincts all of the day clerks and two of three day judges are credited with being Simon men; all of the night judges and two of the night clerks are Simon partisans. Not only does this occur once, but Is repeated many times. In precincts 20, 22, 33, 49, 51, 52, 60, 62 and 63 no selection from the Ayer list was made, either for Judge or clerk. In addi tion to the foregoing. In precincts 9, 33, 36, 37, 40, 41, 46. 50 and 5S not a single judge was named from Mr. Ayer's list In pre cincts 1, 2, 14, 16, 20, 22, 24, 32, 39, 42, 45, 49. 51 and 52, no names were taken from the list of clerks prepared by Mr. Ayer. In 51 precincts having double boards ap parently great care has been taken to name only one man in each precinct from, the Ayer list. From the Ayer list, 10 out of 70 chairmen of election boards were appointed, and of this number five are avowedly Simon men. From first to last, the Important precincts have been turned over to the SImoil organization, and tho County Commissioners are satisfied with' their work. One other significant feature of tho ap pointments Is the appearance of many hide-bound Simon men from among the public officers and public employes of the city and county. Here are a number of the men on the city or county payroll who are appointed to election boards in the precincts opposite their names: 0 L. P. W. Qulmby, Game Warden. 14 George Wemple, school Janitor. 10 A. J. Marshall, Inspector, City Engineer" office. 21 H. P. Emery, Courthouse carpenter. 21 J. Ahlstedt. County Surveyor's office. 22 W. Braden. City Engineer's office. 22 R. H. Austin, bridge tender. 25 A. Moltzen, Deputy County Assessor. 25 A. Harrold, County Clerk's office. 30 il. Pratt Deputy County Assessor. 31 W. FUedner. Fire Commissioner. 31 F. B. Harrington. County Clerk's office. 35 A. C. Lohmire, city horseshoer. 43 H. U. Welch. County Assessor's office. 51 Ed Woodward, Deputy Clerk Circuit Court. C4 J. R. Freeman, county bridgeman. 04 F. E. Harlow, Justice of the Peace. A number of names were unknown to local politicians yesterday, and Investiga tion showed that they were of a class undesirable either as election officials or as party workers. It is known that there is a certain element of the Democratic party which Is under obligations to Simon and his friends, and covertly works for them. Stalwarts of the Democratic party are not likely to mix up In a Republican row, and If there was a disposition to per vert the returns at the primaries it Is probable they would be inclined to lay the responsibility of detection on the Re publicans of the election officials, and de cline to prevent Irregularities unless the attempts were so flagrant as to outrage and arouse their consciences. The result of the Republican primaries will In no way effect the Democratic tickets, so they would have nothing at' stake to justify them in making charges that would In volve endless personal Inconvenience to them in the future in substantiating ac cusations. In other words, no Democratic election officer can be expected to make it his chief business, to watch for irregu- IConcluded on Tenth Pace.)
