Deluded Siberians.
A delegation of 300 deluded Si
berians went to the islands last Oc
tober and the total number that
yielded to the lure of the sugar
planters is over 1000. Their expe
rience is thus set forth by Gompers :
"Instead of all the comforts above
described, tne people found wooden
shanties, without roofs, the floors
mnde of rough boards, set apart with
wide crevices. The furniture con
sisted of a few benches, n table nnd
n few beds; instead of the promised
electric licht, kerosene lamps were to
be used, the oil to be supplied by the
men themselves; the fuel consists of
the roots of sugar cane, which the
men were to carry from three to
seven miles. Conl is a great luxury,
which is but seldom obtainable.
"Instead of the free transportation
to nnd from work, the men had to
walk to the place of work at a dis
tance of five miles, and tho time
consumed was not included in the
working day; lateness bj' five to ten
minutes was punished by a deduc
tion of a quarter of a day's pay; the
wages are $22 a month for men and
?13 for women.
"The men .are compelled to buy nil
their provisions in the plantation
store at such exorbitant prices that
they exceed tho earnings due and
they become the debtors of the
planters.
Conditions of Peonage.
"In short, the conditions are such
as would establish a condition" of
peonage.
"After three months of suffering
and quiet submission, having spent
not only their scant earnings, but
tho money they brought with them,
realized from the sale of their real
property and other belongings at
home, the men revolted; they left
the plantations and went to Hono
lulu with n view of informing the
American government, through its
regularly constituted authorities.
"The peoplo looked for work else
where, but could find none.
"The governor of the territory was
informed by a delegation sent by the
men of tho unbearable conditions,
but tho only answer that they re-1
ceived from the governor was that
they were to return to the plnnta-J
tions and a promise to improve the
conditions of their lifo wns made.
"Tho people returned to work, but
found no fulfillment of any promise.

atists of all times. MChanteclcr" is not only the greatest play of the cen

ment. "Chantcclcr" sparkles with

phy entertains with fascinating
idiom while the tones of the hour
( bell of today, and today's problems,
are heard through the medium of

slang. No language contains
sufficient superlatives to describe it.
Only reading and study will enable
you to appreciate it. It has aroused
all France London has gone mad
over it.
