The ambassador said: “The arbritration will deal only with the ques- tion of indemnity for breaches of contract. There is no suggestion of arbritration witb the United States becauee Japan does not recognize that the United States has any right in Hawaii. The ambastador said also that the Dingley bil] will ruin Japan’s great and growing trade with the United States in carpets.

..°o SHY OF THE CAMERA. ~~ =~ Trouble Experienced In Trying to Get a Snap Shot at Some Squaws.
“They're out here now, just across the street. Where’s my kodak? Quick!’’ The impassioned speaker was one of the lady guests of the Hotel Adams. The place was the hotel lobby. What or who was across the street was a subject of con- jecture. Clerk Pierce darted behind his desk. He emerged with a kodak, which the lady breathlessly assured him was loaded for an emergency. She ran out of the lobby, and Mr. Pieree carried the kodak eoncealed behind him like a wary but in- experienced hunter stalking a deer, as if he wished to disarm the animal of suspi- tion and convince it that he was approach- ing with pacific intentions.
The lady relieyed Mr. Pierce of the cam- era, ‘“They,’’ whoever ‘‘they’’ were, were hot viaible to the unaided ese. The lady crossed the street to the Gooding building. When she had almost reached the west side of it, a aquaw carrying an ella on her head came around the corner. As soon as she saw the kodak she yanished with a scream. The lady with the kodak hadn’t time to take a snap shot, but she went on to the corner of the. building. She ad- justed the kodak and in ten minutes more would have had a negative, but she sud- denly turned and ran toward the hotel, pursued by three squaws, each armed with @ stick ora club. The squaws turned, ran across the street toa fruit stand and stood in the shade, where they were rea- sonably protected against kodak assaulis.
Mr. Boomer offered himself as a volun- teer to procure the picture. Hoe took the kodak and began maneuvering around the squaws, giving them more serious cause for alarm than they already had, for he handled the camera ‘as if it were ashotgun. They remained in the shade, however, turning upon him occasionally, brandish- ing their sticks.
“Drive them ont into “® sun!’’ cried the young lady who had incited the trou-

wouldn’é drive. “Why don’t you go, Josie, and take

ting in a carriaege. ‘‘I go!’’ echoed Josie. “@m afraid of them. Didn’t you see them
shaking their sticks.”’
Finally Mr. Beomer corralled the squaws in the confectionery store. The young lady then went across the street and resumed the kodak. ‘She drew a bead
/ on one of the squaws through an open
vindow. The squaw ran out of the door.

Boylan was in the mood to be taken in, if ever. He had eaten a good dinner, iight-
' eda good cigar and stepped out on the
front stoop into the first warm evening of & tardy spring.
‘*Good evening, colonel,’’ spoke a mili- tary figure from the sidewalk, coming toa salute. .
When a man is already feeling good all over, nothing is so conducive to making him feel better than a respectful salute, with a title prefixed to his name.
‘You see how I am fixed, colonel?’ said the stranger, stepping.up and holding out a right hand, on which were only a thumb and a forefinger.
Boylan Icoked.
“That is bad,’? he commented good bumoredly.
“Sut Vl tell you, colonel,’ confidently. “I know a place where I can get three fin- gers for 10 cents.’’
“Give up? I should say I did!’’ said Boylan, telling the story. ‘‘I thought I had something that would have been cheap at 50 cents. There’s where I was taken in. I’ve told the story five times in my ward, and each time somebody has said
