MURDERED BY FEDERALS
(Special cab:e to the Nippu Jiji.) .
. TOKIO. Japan, ; Sept :With the
entire nation aroused to a fighting
pitch . oer ; the slaughter of several
Japanese residents of Nanking, China,
by President Yuan : ShlhrKal's troops
thortly after they had driven .the reb
els from- the city, and" taken' posses
sion df it, and with the populace atd
Lewspapers demanding immediate ac
tion ' on the part of the povernment,
it has been learned. that the Japanese
government has already taken steps
to sever Japan's friendly, relations
with China, and it ij believed that,
as soon as this is completed "and the
Japanese consuls and representatives
in China are called home, Japan will
issue a declaration of war.. ...
It has been further learned that the
government is in communication with
military and naval heads, that armies
are being masked . and that battle
ships, cruisers' and gunboats are now
ready to ; sail at a moment's notice.
'The Japanese government was first
informed of the death of the Japa
nese by the consul in Nanking, who
reported that, after the federal troops
had driven the rebels from that city,
they turned their attention to pillag
ing the city, murdering many of the
inhabitants and captured rebels, and
committing many other atrocities.
During the period of the federals' dis
regard for the unwritten rules of war,
several Japanese residents of the city
were said to have been murdered by
the troops of President Yuan Shih
Kal. The discovery of the murder of
the Japanese subjects led the Japa
nese consul at Nanking Immediately
to inform his government, with the
result that the Japanese - populace
took the matter up and demanded ac
tion by the government Newspapers
at Toklo and other larger cities, were
loud in the denunciation of President
Yuan Shih-Kal and his associates, and
were foremost in demanding that the
Japanese govement act at once.

which the expense of such work is

"Just what w'.ll be the biggest
scheme which I shall lay before the

I am unable to say," said Dougherty
this . morning. "All the plans -which
I have involve a number of Immense
features, and It would" be hard to
class one as being more important
than the others. I will say,- though.
that I have plans for a water carni
val and an eruption of Punchbowl
which, if carried out will resolve into
two events the like of which have
never been seen in Honolulu. I have
innumerable plans which I shall pre

entirely new features, and others im

Mavor Joseph : J. Fern sat in his
qfflce with his feet on the window sill
this morning slowly destroying a.
cigar and smijlng.- He was thinking
of the high court of justice ; he' had
held in the middle of night when a
burglar was brought sulking into his
bed chamber to receive Judgment.
Taken altogether, last night was a
rather trying one for His Honorr a
night in which a burglar figured, the
screams of a childand the importun
ing of sons, who had made the intrud
er a captive."
It was Quite an exciting night. But
the mayor tmiled this morning be
cause he had handled the situations
masterfully. 1 It 1 takes - something of
genius to be able to sit up in bed,
and with hardly any notice convene
high court and pass judgment on a
culprit, ?who might be a very deserv-
ng or a very undeserving sort or a
man.' But the mayor did It, end what
t more to his credit, he dressed him
self in the figurative garb of Portia
to insist that jusOce .be tempered
with -. mercy. . "
Great was the excitement in- tne
House of the Mayor last night, and
great is the household's admiration
for , the ".wisdom of His Honor, now
they ean view the events of the night
retrospectively Sleep hung over the
House of the Mayor, when along about
the witching hour, the stealthy tread
of an intruder -was heard by Mr.
Fern's little daughter. A scream from
her pierced the stillness of the house.
But the mayor .snored on. ' : v
Again the little girl screamed and
this time she awoke young Joe Fern,
who saw the form of a man near, the
window. He Jumped from his couch
and started toward the figure, but as
he did so the latter turned and fled.
The intruder circled about the house,
and before Joe had returned tohls
couch, he could see the burglar mak-
ne toward the -dwelling again. So

Several .other employes were sent
