bach , mlnlter of state , at the annual banqnet ,
In connection with tim opening of the Diet '
of Drandenburg , EnId ! that the sentiments of
loyalty expressed by the Irantenburgers were
' . doubly valuable In such difcult times and
iL Were a comfort and a prop to hIm In his
. thorny ofce , These sentIments tUfy ! , more
over , confidence In their emperor , a confidence
- which Implies their willing co-operation with
and support to the crown. What , however ,
" 'oull most lighten his task would be the
resolution of a whole nation to rouge itself
: on the side of the "I ather of the People "
' 10 urged his people to give him active help
In the consideration of the questions which
nt present occupy public attention , These
, . QuestIons related chiefly to the relative posI-
' ton which husbanlry Is to hell In respect
to other classes lie had Indicated In recent
Utterances how these questions were to be
deal with. lIe hoped with all his heart that
some permanent Improvement mIght be
, L. achieved. lIe would work toward that end
with all his strength , but ho earnestly warned
the country not to entertalh .ny extravagant
hopes of any deam or Utollla No particular
class could claim any special privileges at the
expense of other classes. Thc task of the
casses.
country's ruler was to carefully weigh the
Interests of all classes and to harmonize them
so that the general Interests of the fatherland
as a whole would be safely guarded.

) In conch4 lon , the emperor said that the
lustre of the age or Frederick still rests
upon today. lie desired that the recolee-
tons or that 'earnest , simple-minded man ,
Frederick , should remind all that co-opera-
lon between I prince and his people Is a
rate aUgury of success.
On the evening of the twenty-fifth annl\er-
vary of the restoration and the new constu-
lon of the unlet fatherland , he hoped his
bearers would remember that only the Joint
'ork of all the German races and their
? .h places had built UIJ the empire lie said :
"The glory gained by the Brandcnburgers Is
linpeIaliable. Especially 10 be remembered
are their dceds on the eventful Gth of August.
In memory of that day and with the old cry ;
wih which the armed forces have followed [
the Iohenzolers Into many a combat ,
'Once more we lead , follow on , rise your
glass and empty It. Fare you well my
Drandenburgers. "

HONOLULU , Feb. 17.-1 more contagIous
fever of rumor never struck this community
than that which swept over time town previous
to the departure of the Mariposa.
Time story as It passed train mouth to mouth
was rather plausible and ran somethln hike
this : ' The goverment has decided to deport
some ten prisoners , among them being Wide-
mann , Greig amid Marsimail. The presence of
Judge Wldemann emi the wharf with n hnnd-
satchel and guItar added credence to the
Wldemann part of the story. The government -
meat was prepared to carry out Its pan : when
Minister Wiis ptotested against men convicted -
victed of political crImes being put .n board
a vessel flying the AmerIcan flag. urther-
more , the recent Immigraton laws or the
Unlel States would not allow any such men
to enter the country , In pursuance with this
Idea , Consul Mills had held the clearance
parera of time vessel until asurnce was received -
ceived no attempt would be made to put these
men on board ,
President Dole and Ministers King and
Smith were on the ship and got together In
the captain's cabin There they were rumored -
mitered to have come to a decision that they
had better let the matter lay over to some
more auspIcIous season.
When aslled. regarding the alleged departure -
ure , Attorney General Smith said : "I can't
see how surh a thing got start t. We have
not thought of such a thing as deporting any
men who have been before the court. I thlnlt
we have more use for Greig Qnd \'Idemann
here than In the United States. There Is no
foundation whatever for the rumor. "

WILLIS DENIS THE I1UMOR.
When Minister Willis was asked whcther
he had received any notice of an intended de-
portaton of prisoners , ho replied : "No , I
was Informed quIte to the contrary. I did not
enter any protest or malt any request to hold
the steamer In fact I have not yet fed
the protest consequent to time deportation at-
fair last Saturday. It Is farthest from my
purpose or desire to take any action which
would tend to embarrass this government. 1

officials. O course , It Is my duty to look
after the Interests of AmerIcan citizens , but I
most certainly have no intention of malting
any unnecessary trouble for the represta- : :
lves of the goverment In so doing "
From all accounts , I was very fortunate
for the peace of the communIty that no attempt .
tempt was made to send thc three men out
of the country. Armed mea belonging to the
Citizens' guard and other belies were on the
wharf to prevent the deportation of either
Greig 'Idemann or Marshall.

SAN FRANCISCO , Feb. 23.-The steamer
Gaelic brought the following Japanese nd-
vices to the Associated press :
TOKIO , Feb. G.-Chmina's ntempt to ne-
gotate for peace 11roved even moro fruitless
than was anticipated. The Japanese are
greatly disappointed al the failure of the
Chlnce govcrnment to give Its envoys
proper power to negotnte for peace. The
Tsung-I- Ynmen was warnell br all the for-
eign diplomats , amid especially Minister Dunn
at Tolto , that unless the envoys were given
full power their errand would be worse than
useless. The most positive pledges were given
that the en\oys would he genulw plllpo-
tonlarles , wIth full power to speak for their
sovereign , and I Is believed that stronger
pledges were given Mr. Foster The em-
bassy came wih thc utmost confidence , with
a small colony of attendants anti foad amid
clothing that Indicated an Indefnite stay.
Yet the first glance at their credentials made
It evident that their errand was a mere IJre-
tenac. Their duties were so imperatively
limited that the ) ' could only listen to time
conditions whIch Japan might propose , report -
port them to Peking and await further In-
structons , ThIs being the cast the Japan-
ese could only dismiss them without discussing -
sing the peace proposilon wih them , The
envoys were given two audiences by the
Japanese commissioner and Mr. Fester was
not allowed to be present at eitimer.
February 1 their credentials were exam-
med ammO the following day they were Informed -
formed that their errand was useless Three
days after their arrival In HiroshIma the
envoys were preparIng to return to China.
It Is reported that Mr. oster's annoyance
was so great that an open Quarrel took place
between him and hIs clients. The angry
" '
dispute 'a' ' said to ila"ve' ' been overheard by
crowdntho street on which the ChInEse
were lodged Though the ' story Is 'doubtess
exaggerated It appears to be true that the
American contemplated leaving the embassy
In HIroshIma and straightway returning
to the United States , but this decision was
revered , and when the ChInese started on
February 4 from Nagasaki he accompanied
them to theIr port with a conditional prom-
Ise to g stIll further I his assistance were
found Indispensable.
'At the close of the second and last Inter-
vIew In the Hiroshima prefecture , Count ,
Ito told the envoys that whenever properly I
accredited [ delegates shoull [ be sent by theIr
emperor they would be received with as
much respect as If this unfortunate error
had not been committed. I China desires
to promptly renew her application no obstacle -
stacie will be put In her way , but 1 Is
doubtul If any ting can now checlt the ad-
vance of the Invaders Ilrough Pe-Chmi-Ll and
their occupatIon of Pehcing. .
