WHERE THE SUFFERERS ASSEMBLE FOR WORSHIP.
PEKING, April 13.-Prince Chintr. Presi
dent of the Foreign Office, has been ap
pointed Grand Secretary in succession to
tho late Yung Lu.
The Dowager Empress has Issued an
edict repealing. the comprehensive stamp
taxation scheme, which Yuan Shi Kai,
Governor of tho Province of Chill, jyas
about to institute throughout this prov
ince. The edict assigns the poverty of the
people as tho reason for the repeal of tho
scheme, but it is believed Yuan Shi Kai's
enemies procured it for the^ipurpose of
crippling his proposed reforms. One of
the contemplated effects of the plan would
hav«t been to insure honest returns for
taxes collected and to deprive minor offi
cials of large perquisites. The degree of
the Empress* solicitude for the poor is
evinced by the costly junket she Is tak
ing.

It was a peculiar and painful sight
where the lepers -met and told their com
plaints to the committee. In the main
part of the hall the afflicted men and
women sat In rows upon benches, the
most outcast of the world's diseased and
afflicted people. A fence separated the
lepers from the committee and from the
other visitors who went from Honolulu.
One by one the crippled and suffering
lepers told their stories and showed their
grief In their faces. The territorial band,
which went from Honolulu, plRyed for the
unfortunate patients throughout the day.
The Legislature will probably pass a res
olution to secure new and better Instru
ments for a band, made up of the lepers
themselves, which remains permanently
on tho islund.

about 1000 persons, of whom about 700 are

friends who have voluntarily devoted tho
remainder of their lives to the care of
their loved ones. The lepers are never
allowed to leavo the settlement on Molo

permitted to go there by authority of the

loud chorus. One man said he had been
cured by Dr. Goto and had remained
cured for nine years. Fully a dozen
others told how they had been cured by
Dr. Goto, but the "cures" seemed only to
have resulted in a check of the disease.
All the lepers, however, placed absolute

in favor, however, of having physicians
go to Molokai to study leprosy, hoping
that they might thus be able to find some

HONOLULU, April 13.— The Committee
on Public Expenditures has reported to
the Senate a gross irregularity in the con
struction of a wharf for Hackfeld & Co.
at a cost of $115,023, and payment ol the
claim is "reluctantly recommended." The
report says:
In this transaction the credit of the Ter
ritory was pledged for a large sum of money
In a wholly Irregular manner and entirely
without warrant of law. The entire amount
of this work wag done under the authority of
a letter from the Superintendent of Public
Works. We cannct too severely condemn the
methods and operations by which claims
against the Territory can be permitted to ac
crue to eurh & largo amount and In such a
manner. The precedent established is an ex
tremely dangptfcus one, for. If public officials,
without warrant of law. can pledge the credit
of the Territory for such a large amount as
here involved, there is no limit to the amount
cf debt that can be Incurred by officials act
ing without proper authority. We call your
attention to that part of the expert's report
showing a profit to the contractors of $1.3.
877 09 for commissions received on labor and
material. We feel that we must recommend
that this claim be liquidated for the reason
that the wharf was actually built and is now
in use and that, while material was furnished
and labor performed In good faith, the law
thould make It impossible for any recurrence
of this kind.

SOLDIER CONVICTS SUE
TO REGAIN FREEDOM
As already announced, the Attorney
General is about to institute a separate
suit against the San Antonio and Aran
sas Pass Railroad for forfeiture of Its
charter, because a majority of Its stock
is held by the Southern Pacific Com
pany, a corporation outside of the State,
and for other stated reasons.
Attorney General Bell has In his pos
session a statement of the capital assets
of the Southern Pacific Company, which
was rendered on September 15, 1902. It Is
known that there have been some trans
fers of stock since that date, b,ut the sit
uation with reference to that company
still holding a majority of the stocks of
other Texas roads which are involved In
the proposed suit is unchanged. The
statement also shows the amount of
stocks held on the date mentioned by
the Southern Pacific Company as fol
lows: Galveston, Harrisburg and San An
tonio, 270,544 shares; Texas and New Or
leans, 49,975 shares; Houston and Texas
Central, 1H.164 shares: Galveston, Hous
ton and Northern. 1989; Houston, East
and West Texas. 19.070; New York. Texas
and Mexican. 6130; San Antonio and
Aransas Pass, 42,294.
Whether this suit against the South
ern Pacific Company will be instituted
immediately or not until after a final de
cision has been rendered In the Northern
Securities case by the United States Su
preme Court could not be learned to-day.
AUSTIN, Tex., April 13:— It was an
nounced here to-day on semi-official au

cision of the United States Circuit Court
in the Northern Securities case n suit
of like character will be instituted in one
of the Federal courts of Texas, by At
torney General C K.-Bell against the
Southern Pacific Company. The charge
which Is to be made the basis of the
prosecution In the proposed suit Is that
the Southern Pacific Company, as a hold-
Ing corporation, holds a majority of the
stock of a number of railroads which are
chartered and operated under the laws of
this State.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
President Loubet, in the course of his
speech at the banquet of the Bourse, said
that economic crises were not only due to
rpeolal legislation dealir.gr with the tariff
bystcms. but were often the result of
more general causts. AH Europe, he
continued, was traversing a period of de
gression, but France was less tried than
the neighboring countries. By all working
together for the local well being they
Tvou!d contribute to the prosperity of the
republic.
From the banquet the President drove
to Boreilay Park, about two miles out of
the city, where an International ?rymnas
;ic festival was being held. He there dis
tributed a number of decoration? to suc
cessful competitors and presented a flag
to the gymnastic society.
President Loubet to-night gave a din
ner at the Prefecture to the principal au
thorities and notabilities of Marseilles.
During the ceremonies at the Prefecture
the Bishop of Marseilles ealuted M. Lou-
Ik t an<] ppok*- of the Irreproachable con
duct of the clergy of this city. He said
they regarded religion as being necessary
to the greatness and security of the coun
try. The President in responding said the
church had a mission of peace, fraternity
and reconciliation. When it fulfills its
mission, as did the clergy of Marseilles,
the church gains the respect of all good
citizens.
A disorderly demonstration occurred on
the route of the procession, when a party
cf anti-Government Radicals cried "Down
with Free Masonry." Three arrests were
made.
During the day M. I>subet made several
speeches, mainly expressive of his
s-turdy republicanism. ,
Only one minor disturbance was report
«d. This was between a group of Social
ist agitators and a number of adherents
« f the army. Blows were exeliar.ged#and
the police interfered. Six persons were
injured, three of them rather seriously.
MARSEILLES. April 13.-President Lou.
bet arrived here to-day from Paris on his
way to Algeria, after receiving continuous
ovation? along the route. The Presiden
tial party was met by the civil and mili
tary authorities, and was escorted to the
Prefecture, where an official reception
na* held. A crowd estimated to» have
i. lingered SOO.OOO persons packed the thor
oughfares and gave the President an en
thusiastic greeting. A grand banquet at
the Bourse followed the reception.
LOS ANGELES. April 13.-Tb.omas E.
Gibbon, vice president of the San Ptdro,
Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad and
chief counsel for that corporation, who
returned from the East Saturday, to-day
gave out Information regarding the
"three-cent fare" franchise application
now pending before the Board of Public
Works. Gibbon stated that he organized
the syndicate which Is back of the appli
cation for street railway privileges, cov
ering the entire city of Los Angeles, dur
ing hla extended stay in Eastern cities,
and that about twenty well-known capi
talists and railroad operators comprise
the syndicate. Of these the only name*
he would mention were those of United
States Senator \V. A. Clark, president of
the Salt Lake road; United States Sena
tor Thomas Kearns of Utah. Richard
Kerens of St. Louis and W. A. Elkin?, tha
Philadelphia street railway magnate.
"Practically all of the important stock
holders In the Salt Lake road are Inter
ested in the enterprise," said Gibbon.
"The plans have been carefully formu
lated by experienced railway operators
and our application for a blanket fran
chise la bona fide. The promoters mean
business and are not here for the purposa
of obstructing the progress of any com
pany now operating here, other than by
legitimate competition."
Gibbon stated that the syndicate has
not bought the Traction Company's prop
erties and that It would operate Indepen
dently, lie said that the plan to build a
new system of street railways in this city
had Its origin soon after the farr.oua
"freight" franchise, for which Senator
Clark was a bidder, was held up by the
City Council about a year ago.
The franchise matter will probably
come up at the meeting of the Board of
j Public \Vork3 next Friday afternoon.

Rheumatic Cure
Costs Nothing: if It Fails.
Any honest person who suffers from'
Rheumatism is welcome to this offer.
I am a specialist In Rheumatism, and
have treated more casts than any other
physician. I think. For 16 years I made
2000 experiments with different drugs,
testing all known remedies while search-
ing the world for something better. Nine
vcars ago I found a costly chemical In
Germany which, with my previous discov-
eries, gives me a certain cure.
I don't mean that it can turn bony
joints into flesh again; but it can euro
the disease at any stage, completely and
forever. I have done It fully 100,000 time*
I know this «o well that I will furnish
my remedy on trial. Simply write me a
postal for my book on Rheumatism, and
I .will mail you an order ou your drug-
gist for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheu-
matic Cure. Take it for a month at my
risk. If it succeeds, the cost is only $5 M
If It falls. 1 will pay the druggist myself
—and your mere word shall decide It.
I mean that exactly. If you say the
results are not what I claim, I don't ex-
pect it penny from you.
I have no samples. Any mere sample
that can effect chronic Rheumatism must
be drujrged to the verge of danger. I use
no such drugs, and it is folly to take
them. You must get the disease out of
the blood.
ily remedy docs that even In the most
difficult, obstinate cases. It has cured the
oldest caees that I ever met. And in all
roy experience In all .my 2000 tests — I never
found another remedy that would cure one

Write me and I will send you the order.

harm you anyway. If it fails. It is free.
