The committee now has nineteen members, as all the territorial delegates have been added to its membership but they have no vote in committee. They can oniySlook after the interests of their constituents there. THE HEARING IN COMMITTEE. At yesterday's hearing the time was chiefly divided between Mr. Hatch and Mr. Lewis. No objections were present- ed to either bill but the members pres- ent asked a large number of questions and the local situation was fully ex- plained. Mr. Lewis followed the out- line of a statement, which has been printed by request of Senator Foraker, concerning the case of the Hawaiian Electric Company, Limited, which is seeking the renewal of its franchise. After the hearing Mr. Lewis's bill, which has been introduced in the House by the Hawaiian Delegate and in the Senate by Mr. Foraker, was referred to a subcommittee, consisting of Chair- man Hamilton, Ex-Go- v. Powers, of Maine,- and Representative Robinson, of Indiana, the last named being the Dem- ocratic member of the subcommittee. These are all good friends of Hawaii and a favorable report is looked for speedily. The ratification of the county bill was referred to a subcommittee consisting of Representatives Spalding, of North Dakota, Sterling, of Illinois, and Lloyd, of Missouri, the last named being the Democrat. Some hearings before the subcommittees followed in which fur- ther details of the measures were ex- plained. This morning the same gentlemen ap- peared before the Committee on Pacific Islands of the Senate, in which vir- tually the same program was followed. Mr. Hatch and Mr. Lewis were heard in behalf of their respective bills. Th.-- Senators of the committee evinced an interest in the measures and there is reason to believe that Mr. Lewis's bill, at least, will be favorably acted upon. If there is to be any serious opposi- tion, it has not yet developed. AMENDMENT TO ORGANIC ACT. Representative Robinson has intro- duced the following bill, which was referred to the Committee on Terri- tories: Be it enacted by the Senate and Huuve of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem- bled, That section seventy-si- x of an Act entitled "An Act to provide a. gov- ernment for the Territory of Hawaii," (Continued on page 4.)

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 17. All the efforts of Hawaiian people here during the last five days have been de- voted to getting Senators and members of Congress interested in pending leg- islation, especially the bill to confirm the county act and the bill to confirm the electric franchise, in Honolulu. Mr. F. M. Hatch is still in town looking after the former measure; Mr. A. Lewis, Jr., is here looking after the latter measure. Both bills have been introduced in both branches of Con- gress. Both have been given a hearing before each of the committees that have Hawaiian matters in charge. Yesterday there was a general hear- ing before the House Committee on Territories. In that connection it is interesting to add that Delegate Kala-nianao- le has been made a member of the Territories Committee. This was at the request of Chairman Hamilton, who desired to have the delegate there to answer questions and present the Hawaiian side of Hawaiian, matters whicft come up for action.

Locai Dem- ocrats are making plans for a dinner in this city January 4th in honor of Mayor McClellan, who will take office on the first day of the year. It is the hope of the committee having charge of the af- fair to make it the occasion for sounding the keynote for the national campaign. They already have waited on Cleveland and have received his assurance that he will attend and make a speech. For several days the members of the committee which has for it's chairman W. Bourke Cochrane, have been communicating with Democrats of prom- inence in national affairs, and it has been ascertained that the men to whom invitations are being sent and from whom acceptances are practically as- sured include Chief Judge Parker of the State Court of Appeals ; Senator A. P. Gorman, ex-Unit- ed States Senator David B. Hill, Congressman John Sharp Williams, leader of the party in the House of Representatives; William C. Whitney, and others. The committee in charge of arrange- ments for the dinner includes August Belmont. of the Treasury John G. Carlisle, John D. Crimmins, Ashley Fitch, Hugh J. Grant and J. Ed- ward Simmons. A FOUR INCH LOT. NEW YORK, Dec. 22. A piece of real estate, with a four inch frontage on the west side of Seventh avenue, south of Fiftieth street, has changed hands, making a novel record in realty trans- actions here. The parcel has a depth of 90 feet and brought price based on $5,000 a front foot. The odd lot was created through a mistake made some time ago in surveying. Pieces on both sides of the strip were sold to various parties, neither of whom wants the four inch frontage. What the purchaser expects to do with his acquisition is a mystery. . NEW YORK, Dec. 22. A special committee of the Presbyterian Minis- ters' Association appointed to study the question of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain has adopted resolutions declaring that the time is ripe for the conclusion of a con- vention capable of being applied to all questions of difference that may arise between the two countries. CONSUL SKINNER'S RECEPTION. ADIS ABEDA, Abyssinia, Friday, Dec. 18., by courier to Jubitli, French Somaliland, Dec. 21.

PEKING, Dec. 29. The Russian Minister has notified the Chi- nese government that it is not Russia's present intention to evacuate Manchuria. LONDON, Dec. 29. Japan has outbidden Russia for the pur- chase of the Argentine warships. The two vessels which Japan acquires from the Argentine Re- public are the Moreno and the Genoa, armored cruisers, one of which has been completed. The Moreno was launched nearly a year ago at a Genoa shipyard. Her keel was laid March 14, 1902, and her builders secured a large bonus by completing the vessel eighteen months after the contract was given. The two ships are sold now owing to the disarmament agreement between Argentine and Chile. The two armored cruisers are of the "Garibaldi" type, an improvement on the Spanish cruisers destroyed by the Amer- ican vessels in the Battle of Santiago, July 3, 1898, and are of 7,700 tons displacement, 13,000 horse power, and twenty knots speed. The armor belt, extending all around the ships, is 5.8 inches to 3 inches in thickness, and the battery of each vessel is composed of one ten-inc- h gun, fourteen six-inc- h, and ten fourteen-pounder- s. The ships are fitted with the old type of Scotch boilers. FLEET WILL WEIGH ANCHOR AND LEAVE HONOLULU TODAY How Papal Gold Find Story Was Started. Union Label Funeral the Latest in Obsequies.

According to the Messagero, the f.tory that Cardinal Got-t- i. Prefect -- of the Propaganda, recent ly handed to the Pope $9,000,000 said to have been confined to the Cardinal by the late Pope Leo XIII., originated in the fact that in the financial investi- gation following Pope Leo's death, a deficit of over $100,000 was found. Aft- er diligent search and although no posi- tive proof was obtainable, it appeared evident that the only person who could know where the money had gone was a certain Monsigneur living in the Vati- can. "He at first asserted that he knew nothing of the latter, but being more closely questioned and the evidence , against him gathering, he one day said to the Pope: ''Be patient. God will provide for the needs of the Holy See.1' Soon afterwards the Monsigneur ap- peared with a friend and said that Pope Leo had confided the money to him, requesting him to return it to his suc- cessor four months after his death.

While the cruiser New Orleans was docking yesterday at Naval Dock No. 2, a big manila hawser became en- tangled with the starboard screw. Luckily the vessel was practically alongside the dock at the time. A diver from the cruiser was sent down to examine the blades and had to cut the hawser' in two before he could free the screw. No damage was done to the latter. EVANS RESUMES QUARTERS. Admiral Evans went aboard the flag- ship Kentucky yesterday morning and again took up his headquarters in the ship. The Admiral and his staff had apartments at the Young Hotel during their stay in port. MAIL FOR MIDWAY.

The officers of the fleet were given a farewell last evening at the Alexan- der Young Hotel. Hundreds of Hono-lulan- s gathered to greet them and say bood-by- e. The beautiful roof garden was thronged with guests during the concert given by the Hawaiian Gov- ernment band. The concert lasted until 10 o'clock when a Hawaiian quintette club struck up the strains of the first waltz in the makai ball room. A fashionable gathering was present and the ball room presented a pretty scen'e at all times. The officers were not in uniform as on the occasion of the formal ball in honor of Admiral Evans last Thursday, and, owing to the two big battleships being at anchor off the channel, the attendance was not so large as before. The ball was a merry one. however, and the pretty summery gowns of the ladies gave the function a June air. Manager and Mrs. Lake were profuse in their hospitality and when the bail came to a close at midnight the officers thanked them most cordially for the pleasure they had received on the roof garden during their stay in port. Ad- miral Evans also expressed his hearti- est aloha for the entertainments given in his honor. Admiral Evans and his fleet will bid. farewell to Honolulu this morning at I 10 o'clock. The fleet will be massed off the entrance to the channel early and be ready to start in fleet forma tion when the signal is given from the flagship Kentucky. WARSHIPS ARE SHIFTED. The two big battleships which moor- ed at Naval Dock No. 2 since their arrival, steamed out of the harbor yesterday morning and took up posi- tions at the anchorage Waikiki of the entrance to the channel. The Wis- consin was the first to move out of the slip, leaving there about 8:30. The flagship Kentucky left at 9:15, both vessels goirlg out without mishap. In a short time the cruiser flagship New Orleans and the cruiser Cincin- nati crossed the harbor and took the places , vacated by the battleships, the Raleigh mooring alongside dock No. 1. The cruiser Albany and the battleship Oregon remained in the stream, the former having finished coaling on Sunday. The Oregon took in 200 tons yesterday. The New Orleans took on 150 tons of coal yesterday, the Cincinnati 61 tons in bags and 120 tons in bulk, the Ra- leigh 40 tons in bags and 120 tons in j bulk. At 9 o'clock this morning Captain Rodman in command of the U. S. S. Iroquois will accommodate the Ha- -' waiian Government band, government officials and other guests, and steam j out to the anchorage, where the entire fleet will be serenaded. SQUADRON MOVEMENTS. It is expected that two days out from Honolulu the battleship and cruiser i squadrons will part and proceed in- -; dependehtly, as the battleships are ex- -: pected to go direct to Guam, while the cruiser squadron will call at Midway and pick up any orders that may have been sent to that place. LAUNCHES WERE BUST. The warship launches were kept busy all day yesterday, transferring sundry j package? to the fleet and carrying vis-- i itors and friends of the officers to be entertained for the last time aboard. j SOLACE SAILS FOR MANILA. The naval transport Solace sailed for j Manila yesterday afternoon at 2:20. The vessel departed without much i noise or ceremony.

WOOD WON'T COMMAND ARMY. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Senator Warren of Wyoming, a member of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, said today that President Roosevelt had said that- - even if General Wood's nomination as major general were con- firmed he would not again promote him while he was President, and therefore General Wood would not command the army during the time Mr. Roosevelt was in office. This is a very important statement in view of the fact that one of the chief reasons for the opposition to General Wood has been that if he were made major general now he would, in order of seniority, become senior major gen- eral in 1909 and would be promoted to lieutenant general of the army and chief of staff until 1924, or fifteen years. This statement by the President means that Frederick D. Grant prob- ably will command the army in I99-Senato- r Warren said today : "The charges against General Wood were unconfirmed. They were simply rot. Furthermore, several of us went to see the President, and he assured us that if we confirmed General Wood's nomination he would not again pro- mote him in the way indicated, which would block so many deserving of- ficers." The manner in which the succession to the command of the army will go if General Wood is confirmed and if straight seniority be followed hence- forth will be : General S. M. B. Young, the present chief of staff, until 1004: Major General A. R. Chaffee until April 14, 1906: Major General H. C. Corbin until September 21, 1906: Major General J. F. Wade until April 14. 1007; Ma- jor General Arthur Mac Arthur until January. T909: Major General Leonard Wood until May 30, 1924. (Continued on page 3.) NEARING ANNEXATION. SAN DOMINGO, Dec. 29.

A fashionable gathering was presentand the ball room presented a prettyscen'e at all times. The officers werenot in uniform as on the occasion ofthe formal ball in honor of AdmiralEvans last Thursday, and, owing to thetwo big battleships being at anchor offthe channel, the attendance was not solarge as before. The ball was a merryone. however, and the pretty summerygowns of the ladies gave the function aJune air.

Manager and Mrs. Lake were profusein their hospitality and when the bailcame to a close at midnight the officersthanked them most cordially for thepleasure they had received on the roofgarden during their stay in port. Ad-

miral Evans also expressed his hearti-est aloha for the entertainments givenin his honor.

The Wis-consin was the first to move out ofthe slip, leaving there about 8:30. Theflagship Kentucky left at 9:15, bothvessels goirlg out without mishap.

In a short time the cruiser flagshipNew Orleans and the cruiser Cincin-nati crossed the harbor and took theplaces , vacated by the battleships, theRaleigh mooring alongside dock No. 1.

The cruiser Albany and the battleshipOregon remained in the stream, theformer having finished coaling onSunday. The Oregon took in 200 tonsyesterday.

WOOD WON'T COMMAND ARMY.WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Senator

Warren of Wyoming, a member of theSenate Committee on Military Affairs,said today that President Roosevelthad said that-

- even if General Wood'snomination as major general were con-firmed he would not again promote himwhile he was President, and thereforeGeneral Wood would not command thearmy during the time Mr. Rooseveltwas in office.

This is a very important statementin view of the fact that one of the chiefreasons for the opposition to GeneralWood has been that if he were mademajor general now he would, in orderof seniority, become senior major gen-eral in 1909 and would be promoted tolieutenant general of the army andchief of staff until 1924, or fifteen years.

This statement by the Presidentmeans that Frederick D. Grant prob-ably will command the army in I99-Senato- r

Warren said today :

"The charges against General Woodwere unconfirmed. They were simplyrot. Furthermore, several of us wentto see the President, and he assured usthat if we confirmed General Wood'snomination he would not again pro-

mote him in the way indicated, whichwould block so many deserving of-

ficers."The manner in which the succession

to the command of the army will go ifGeneral Wood is confirmed and ifstraight seniority be followed hence-forth will be : General S. M. B. Young,the present chief of staff, until 1004:Major General A. R. Chaffee until April14, 1906: Major General H. C. Corbinuntil September 21, 1906: Major GeneralJ. F. Wade until April 14. 1007; Ma-

jor General Arthur Mac Arthur untilJanuary. T909: Major General LeonardWood until May 30, 1924.

the coming upheaval. It came the nextiftemoon at two o'clock, when thirtygentlemen some say twelve. some say'chirty crossed the square in front' ofthe Government building and. mountingthe steps, announced that they had over-thrown the monarchy and had establish-ed themselves as a provisional govern-ment. Their audience consisted of theAmerican marines drawn up with theirGatling guns at a distance of less thana hundred yards, and the clerks atwork in the Government building. Theselatter, on seeing a group of gentlemenreading a paper to themselves, leanedfrom tbe windows in order to hearwhat it was about. Thus with the aid,and only with the aid, of the marinesthe provisional government was estab-lished.

Or, to be quite fair, and to give creditwhere it is due. one should add thaton this historical occasion our marineswere assisted by the armed forces ofthe revolutionists to the extent of Mr.Oscar White with a gun. The presenceof Mr. Oscar White is mentioned byseveral witnesses. One testified that hesaid. "Oscar, it is not prudent for youto be here with only one gun."

The Queen's marshal, from the bar-racks where his troops were assembledto the number of six hundred, sent wordto Mr. Stevens to inquire if the UnitedStates forces intended to recognize thethirty gentlemen on the steps and thebelligerent Mr. White. Mr. Stevens re-plied that he already had recognized theprovisional government. This was onlyan hour after it had announced it's ex-istence, and is the record for rapidrecognition.

The Queen, with a very proper ap-preciation of the situation, surrendered,not to the provisional government, butto "the naval forces of the UnitedStates." Mr. Cleveland, who, shortlyafter this occurred, became for the sec-

ond time President, endeavored to undothe work of Mr. Stevens and to rein-state the Queen. This act of justice,however, was frustrated by Congresswhich in this case represented the wish

OF STARVING

Fleet Will LeaveEnough for Us

Cable and Extra SupplyPrevents Possible

Famine.

Honolulu Could Not Stand a Long

Siege The Meat the Fleet

Took Daily.

Honolulu will not suffer from a foodfamine as a result of the presence ordeparture of the fleet today. AH dayyesterday and last night stores pur-chased in Honolulu were loaded on thebattleships and cruisers, although theWisconsin and Oregon finished takingon supplies early in the morning.

Had it not been for the great quanti-ties of food stuffs broughtHy the Ala-

meda and Solace there would have beena famine in Honolulu. The presenceof the fleet, has shown one thing veryconclusively and that is, that Hawaii isnot able to provide for any great forceof soldiers or sailors in case of a siege.If such an array as the Asiatic shipswere bottled up in Pearl Harbor by ahostile fleet, the people of Oahu andthe men of the vessels would soon bereduced to short rations, and a pro-

longed siege would mean starvation inthe island. For of all the fresh vegeta-bles purchased here by the fleet, suchas potatoes, cabbage, fruits and greenproduce nearly all of it was exportedfrom the coast. The usual supply wouldbe exhausted in less than two weeks ifthe regular ships were kept out by ablockading fleet. The conditions madeapparent by the presence of the fleetillustrate more forcibly than anythingelse the necessity for placing as largean area of land on Oahu under cultiva-tion as possible. Small farms and whatthey can produce will be the salvationof tbe islands in case of war. Thereis a large tract of land on this island,which was ceded to the United Statesupon annexation, for military purposes,and which could pcoduce a sufficientamount of green vegetables and suchthings to keep an army of men for along period. The land was originallyset aside for the use of invalid sol-

diers from tbe Philippines, and as thereis no' chance that it will be used forthat purpose, efforts to regain posses-sion of it on the part of the Territorymight prove sucessful. The land joinsthat of the Wahiawa colony and is veryfertile.

It is impossible-t- o estimate theof food that the fleet purchased

in Honolulu during its two weeks' stay.The greatest demand was for fresh meats,which were purchased daily in enormousquantities for the use of the men onthe. ships. One butcher estimated theamount used daily as ten thousandpounds, while another firm supplied thefleet with eight or ten cattle everyday. A Conservative estimate of theamount of fresh meat used by the fleetwhile in port would probably be thirty-fiv- e

tons. This is at the rate of abouttwo ana a nan tons per aay. Two days'supplies will be taken on for the voyage.This is in addition to the canned meatswhich are regularly supplied by theNavy Department. "The canned meatsare put up now so that you can't tellthe difference from the fresh meats,-- '

said Lieutenant Chapin of AdmiralEvans's staff the other day. "If is aregular picnic going to sea nowadays.We ake on only fresh meats and greenve- - .ables for our cruise to Cavite. TheD rtment supplies the fleet with regu-lar ations, and tbe vessels are depend-ed upon to get what additional suppliesthey need as they touch at differentports."

Potatoes, onions and cabbages were al-

so taken on board the ships in largequantities yesterday. These are prac-- jtically all the fresh vegetables that thevessels take for regular stores, althoughit is not by means the only variety of

j edibles that went aboard. Every shiphas a separate mess, crew as well asofficers, and they loaded up with allsorts of delicacies yesterday. Cannedfruit, raisins, fancy vegetables, cakesand an endless variety of good thingsto eat were sent on board the ships, andtbe clerks at many of the down townstores worked far into the night gettingtheir orders filled. Foodstuffs are muchcheaper in Honolulu than in either Ma-nila or Yokohama and the various messfunds were largely drawn upon to re-

plenish their respective larders. At onestore only was it reported that there wasany probability of a shortage in foodstuffs in Honolulu because of the pur-chases made for the fleet, the othermerchants joining in the statement thatthere would be plenty to eat for every-one left in Honolulu after today. Itwas said, however, that had it not beenfor the shipment of stores from SanFrancisco there might have been a se-

rious shortage in the food supply ofHonolulu. Anotber grocer stated thathad it not been for the cable, whichwould' permit the increase in orders intime to catch the Sierra which sailsfrom San Francisco December 31st. Ho-nolulu might even now be facing theprospects of a food famine.

Nervous Headaches that cv

Make Life Miserable. nSick and nervous headaches are amongst

the worst ills of life. Tbe man 01 woman feis subject to headache at irregular intcrrals,goes through life bearing a load of miserand wretchedness that is terrible to thinkof.

Headaches as a rule, result front a dis-ordered condition of the nervous system.Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodilyfatigue, and disordered digestion are excitingcauses. When the brain becomes tired anddebilitated, the whole nervous system is weak-ened, and headaches result. If the liver issluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestionderanged, headaches invariably follow. Tocure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-tem must be strengthened and vitalized.The most persistent cases of headache, nervousfeebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanentlycured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is thegreat reconstructant of the nervous system.Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich., tellsof her release from suffering as fellows:

" I have been troubled with dyspepsia andsick headache for a number of years. Aboutevery week I would hare a bad spell of sickheadache, but since I began using Paine.Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, andI do not have any more headaches. I fedbetter than I have for years." ft

Company, of Syracuse. Thedispute was one which should have beensettled through the courts and by a sur-veyor's transit, as it was entirely a ques-tion of boundaries. But the AsphaltTrust represented that a revolution hadbroken out which threatened their prop-erty at Guanaco and the lives of theiremployees. At the time they asked forwarships the revolution was mildlyprogressing at Catupano. a place as farremoved from the property of the As-- !phalt Company as is Chicago from NewYork. As a matter of fact, nothing hap-pened to the zinc sheds and mud hut'sof the Asphalt Company, and the onlyresult of our bullying a small and friend-ly Power with our warships was togain its dislike and again to see ourbluejackets mobbed by overexcited pat-riots.

Fortunately, our last and most impor-tant act as an incubator for baby re-

publics was without bloodshed, and oursovereignty has been established at themost important strategic point of thetwo continents, apparently to the satis-faction of all concerned.

For, what our Government repudiatedin Walker it' has accomplished in itsown way in Panama, just as the English Government, after punishing Doc-

tor Jameson, took his unfinished raidin hand and finally succeeded in over-throwing the Transvaal Republic. Forattempting to do the same thing it hadsent' him to Holloway jail. In the revo-lution in Panama the naval forces ofthe United States were the decidingfactor. Without their backing, andwithout our hasty recognition of thenew republic, after several years the rev- -olutionists might have found themselvesfighting for their independence. It iseasy for the uninformed to laugh at therevolutions in Central America: but itshould be remembered that the last realrevolution in Colombia continued forthree long years, and of those engagedin it on both sides, ten thousand losttheir lives.

In 1893 the passage of the McKinleyBill had made it impossible for the sugar-

-planters in Hawaii, most of whomwere Americans; to carry on that in-

dustryI

at a profit. Their only hope ofavoiding the tariff lay in Hawaii be-

coming a part of the United States. On'

account of its strategic value in thePacific the United States desired Ha-waii. The desires of both the Govern-ment of the United States and of the i

American' sugar-plante- rs being the same,they combined to overthrow the onlyobstacle to their plans Queen Liliuoka-lan- i.

On January 14, 1893. Queen Liliuoka-lan- i

prorogued the Legislature and pro-posed a new constitution which return-ed to the crown many powers and privi-leges it had formerly enjoyed, but which,in a previous revolution in 1887, hadbeen taken from it. There was suchinstant objection to this new constitu-tion on the part of the Queen's ownCabinet that she changed her purposeand announced tn the nennle hv word ofmouth and by a proclamation that there ,

THE NURSERY MAIDS' INSUR- -

RECTION.A Mr. Loper, who was invited to lead

the volunteer forces of the foreign ele-ment, declined the honor unless he couldfirst talk to the American minister. Atthe Legation Mr. Stevens gave him theassurance he desired. The next day,although a state of public peace prevail-ed ; although the ladies of the town,with their children, were driving aboutin their carriages, shopping and payingcalls : and while the benches in tbeplazas were occupied by nursemaidsand their charges. Minister Stevensasked his side-partne- r. Captain Wiltse.to land a force of marines and severalGatling guns for the protection of Amer-ican interests. Instead of surroundingtbe property of American citizens inthe business part of Honolulu, theAmerican forces were statiorfed outsidethe Government building and near thePalace. Mr. Wodehouse and other ad-

herents of the Queen drove to the Le-gation and asked Stevens at whose re-

quest the marines were landed. Hesaid : '"The ladies about town are verynervous and fear trouble."

Mr. Wodehouse replied : "Why. thetown. Mr. Stevens, is perfectly quietas quiet as a Quakers' meeting. Wereyou asked by the Queen's Governmentto land these troops, and why are theforces occupying an armed position onthe principal souare of the town, com-manding the Palace and Governmentbuilding?"

Mr. Stevens made no answer."We left." says Wodehouse. "and are

He looks like a young.good Matured, rosy cheeked collegestudent with not a care in the world.But he can fight. Barry is only a boy.he is just twenty-tw- o years of age andeven more youthful in appearance.Even when he is trimmed for fightinghe doesn't look like a pugilist. He isimere pigmy in comparison with histrainer, 'Billy Woods. Woods's musciesstand out on his arms and legs in r?glumps. Barry has a smooth, white armand anyone who has not seen him usethat terrible right would hardly believehim capable of doing a hard day'smanual labor.

Barry seems short and thickset buthe can get around a tall, agile manwith astonishing rapidity. He has beansparring daily with his trainer, Woods,and Toomey, the patrol wagon driver,both of whom are very tall. But thelittle prize fighter has no difficulty ingetting around them. Testerday hesparred with both men, alternately forhalf an hour, steadily, and winded bothWoods and Toomey several times, whileat the end he was as fresh and coolas if he had been enjoying an afternoon automobile ride. In the morningBarry generally sprints for a. few miles,taking a couple of hours' exercise inthis manner. He has been running inthe neighborhood of the Hawaiian Ho-tel beach annex lately. In the afternoon the lad takes an hour's hard workin the gymnasium in veare of BillyWoods. He punches the bag for halfan hour at a time and gets in someterrific punches. Anyo' e in the neigh-borhood of Woods's gymnasium yester-day afternoon about three o'clockwould have thought that the fleet hadopened its guns on the town. Barrvgets some good exercise out of thepunching bag and he is an adept at thisform of sport. The pumps, the dumbbellsand the lift pulleys next give development to the little fighter's musclesand this is followed by some real exercise in sparring, is. either Woods orToomey stands any show with Barryand he knocks them around at will.Woods gave him some special pointersyesterday on action in clinches, orrather in punching his opponent whenhe is holding. Barry is able to takecare of himself either in a clinch orin an open fight. He is unusually active on his feet and when he starts into fight, he does it with a will. He isbusiness all the way through and wantsto flght all the time. When he wassparring with Woods and Toomey yesterday, both men were winded three orfour times, while Barry kept on fighting, and could have continued for halfan hour longer.

After the hour's training in the aft-ernoon Barry gets the usual rub downand shower and then he is ready foranything. Woods says he is in the pinkof condition, is trained down to whipWeday and can eat or drink what hepleases without affecting him. Barryis a clean, clever boy and he is not taking any chances. He intends to winFriday night's fight and his admirerssay he will do it.

RALPH TURNER'SCHRISTMAS POEM

Waikiki, Honolulu, Dec. 28, 1903.

Editor Advertiser: I feel, constrainedto answer the poem "The Message ofthe Bells" contained in your Christ-mas Advertiser.

It is a very beautiful, touching andpathetic poem but pessimistic and rad-ically untrue. Such an incident asthis poem describes would never haveihappened In the 20th century in aChristian country. Any stricken wo-man appealing to a Christian churchon Christmas eve or on any other daywould not have died in such a way.I venture to assert that an appeal toBishop Restarick. Rev. Mr. Kincaid,Father Valentin or a Jewish Rabbi,would have secured comfort and help.The Salvation Army in all countriesis especially trying to reach such cases.Therefore the poem, while beautiful,is vicious and misleading as to theunderlying truth, giving to skeptics anopportunity to sneer at the most gen-erous and responsive of Christian fes-tivals. Such talent as this poem ex-hibits could work on some great truthwith a more hopeful result.

Hawaii Promotion Committee Is

Working Both Ways-Railr- oads

Are Helping.

Four different tours have been planned to come to Honolulu within thenext few months. Secretary Boyd ofthe Hawaiian Promotion committeehas been notified of the coming of parties through four different agencies,several of them to bring more than oneparty.

. The Raymond & Whltcomb partywill come down in March. The partyis now being worked up in Californiaand the promoters are meeting withgreat success. In fact the party isassuming such large proportions thatit will probably have to be divided intwo and perhaps three parties beforecoming down.

The Nippon-Californ- ia Tour Co. hasarranged five tours for Hawaii. Theseparties are coming down in January,February, March and April. In ad-

dition the same company has trans-Pacifi- c

tours which include a ten daysstop in Hawaii while enroute to Japan and China.

The Gates tour now has twenty-fiv- e

members. This party will reach Honolulu early in February and returnon March Sth. A trip to the volcanois included in the visit.

L. L Whitlock of Los Angeles isarranging a tour from CaliforniaThere were ten in the party accordingto advices received on the Alamedaand it is expected that it has reachedfifteen by this time. This party willbe personally conducted by Mrs. WG. Walker, a former resident of theIslands.

The Hawaii Promotion Committeehas. also made arrangements by whichthe services of its California agent isto be placed at the disposal of thepeople of Hawaii who contemplate avisit to the mainland. Mr. Jenniferhas located at No. 17 New Montgomery street in San Francisco, in theoffices of the Western Passenger Association. He will Answer all inquiriesfrom Honolulu either direct or throughthe Promotion Committee, and will arrange for hotel or sleeping-ca- r accommodations, for railway tickets and willassist Island people in every way possible.

The Hawaii Promotion Committeehas made arrangements with the greattrunk railroads by which all inquiriesreceived by them regarding Hawaiiare forwarded to either Mr. - Jenniferor the local agency. On the otherhand the Hawaii Promotion Committee sends to the railroad and steamshipcompanies, the names of people mak-ing inquiries about Hawaii, so that therailroads work directly in influencingpeople tP come to the Islands.

Ihad these backache pains for twoyears, and so severe were they at timesthat they prevented me from sleeping.All the medicines I tried were of noavail until I got some of Doan's Back-ache Kidney Pills at the HollisterDrug Co.'s store, and used them.

CZAR AND BRYAN.ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 21. Wil-

liam J. Bryan was received in audienceby Czar Nicholas at noon today. Theaudience, which lasted fifteen minutes,was arranged almost on the spur ofthe moment by Embassador McCor-mic- k,

who until yesterday was uncertain as to the time of Bryan's arrivalin St. Petersburg.

During the conversation with Bryanthe Czar expressed in the most em-

phatic manner the feeling of the friend-ship entertained by him and by the Rus-sian nation for the United States andthe hope "that the good relations whichhad always existed between the twonations would never be disturbed. Hegave evidence of deep interest and ac-

quaintance with affairsNin the UnitedStates.

In response to Bryan's inquiry con-cerning the progress of public instruc-tion in Russia, the Czar gave a minutedescription of the system of educationin the empire, showing an intimateknowledge of educational methods andthe statistics relating thereto.

Bryan was entertained at dinner byEmbassador McCormick tonight. Hewill leave for Berlin tomorrow.

OUR REVENUE CUTTER.The bill to authorize the construction

of a vessel of the first class for therevenue cotter service, to be stationedwith headquarters at Honolulu, is get-

ting a good start in this Congress.Senator Perkins, of California, has hadthe bill before two or three Congresses.He introduced it December 10 this year.providing for an appropriation of $225,-00- 0.

The bill was considered bv theSenate Committee on Commerce, ofwhich Mr. Perkins,' is a member, at itslast meeting and a favorable report au-

thorized- This report was drawn byMr. Perkins and has already been sub-mitted.

The two following letters from Sec-retary Shaw tell the history of the leg-islation in this Congress:

Treasury Department, Office of theSecretary,

Washington, November 19, 1903.Sir: I have to acknowledge the re-

ceipt of a letter, dated the 17th instant,from the Committee on Commerce, in-

closing Senate bill 901, "providing forthe construction of a vessel of the firstclass for the Revenue-Cutte- r Service,to be stationed with headquarters atHonolulu, Hawaii " for such sugges-tions as may be deemed proper touch-ing the merits of the bill and thepropriety of its passage.

In reply j have respectfully to callyour attention to my letter of Decem-ber 15 last (copy inclosed), in relationto a similar bill which was introducedat the last session of Congress, in whichit was stated that the Revenue-Cutte- rService should be represented at Ho-nolulu by an able seagoing vessel.

A vessel of the class required can beconstructed, it is thought, for the sumnamed in the bill ($225,000), and I recommend the passage of Senate bill 901,which is inclosed.

Respectfully,L. M. SHAW.

Secretary.The Chairman Committee on Com-

merce, United States Senate.

Treasury Department, Office of theSecretary,

Washington, December 15, 1902.Sir: I have to acknowledge the re-

ceipt of a letter dated the 12th Instan.from the Committee on Commerce, in-

closing Senate bill 6534, "Providing forthe construction of a vessel of the firstclass for the Revenue-Cutt- er Service,to be stationed with headquarters atHonolulu, Hawaii," for such sugges-tions as may be deemed proper touch-ing the merits of the bill and thepropriety of Its passage.

In reply I have respectfully to statethat there is not at this time any ves-sel of the Revenue-Cutt- er Servicewhich can be spared for duty in thewaters or nawan, ana tnat the serviceshould be represented there by an ableseagoing vessel does not seem to be opento question. The maritime laws of thUnited States, the enforcement ofwhich comes under the purview of thisDepartment directly and by implica-tion, are fully applicable to our insularpossessions, and for their enforcementthe Department must necessarily belargely dependent upon the Revenue -

Cutter Service. Among these laws maybe mentioned

1. The protection of the customs rev-enue (sees. 2747, 2760, 2762, 3059, R. S.).

2. Assistance of vessels in distress(sees. 1536, 2759, R, S.).

3. Enforcement of the neutralitylaws (sec. 5288, R. S.).

4. The enforcement of the navigation

essels suppression of mutinies onboard merchant vessels, etc.

A suggestion for the employment ofprivate vessels for the purposes of theRevenue-Cutte- r Service should not beentertained. Such a course would re- -ault not only in lnefnciency, because ofthe absence of the commissioned ranksof the service from snr-- an ttherefore of indispensable authority forthe proper government of the same,but it would be found exceedingly ex-pensive and in every way unsatisfac-tory to charter or hire vessels for thispurpose.

All considerations in the interest ofthe Government appear to emphasizethe necessity of making provision fora ship for duty in the waters of Ha-waii, and I therefore recommend thepassage of Senate bill 6534 withoutamendment.

The bill is herewith returned.Respectfully,

L. M. SHAW,Secretary.

The Chairman Committee on Com-merce, United States Senate.

The early passage of the bill by theSenate is expected.

TUESDAY DECEMBER 29

IN CASE OF SIEGE.

The fact that a fleet carrying only3000 men can produce a food famine inHonolulu in two weeks shows to whatextremes the city and the island maybe, reduced in case of war and a siege.It is highly pertinent to inquire whatHonolulu would do if shut out fromcommunication with the mainland forthree or four months? The extremelywealthy would live, of course, but howwould the middle and lower clashes inthe financial scale weather such a con-

tingency? The question is a seriousone. Independent.

That is where diversified agriculturecomes in. This paper's advocacy of

small farming has only included theraising of vegetables as an incident,

but if war should be threatened it

would be a public duty to plant every

available acre cf public and privateland not required for cattle and fruit,

with quick-growin- g food products and

to vastly extend the areas adaptableto taro and rice. This, of course, pre-

supposes an acquaintance with agricul-

tural pests and the means of fighting

them; also a community of farmerswho could be drawn upon to superin

tend market-gardenin- g on a greatscale. Anything like dependence upon

canned food would be futiie, especially

for the 50,000 Asiatics and the 30,000

helpless Hawaiians. The safety of theTerritory from .famine would depend

either on agriculture or surrender to ablockading force.

Richard Harding Davis's account of

the revolutionary movement here in

1893 must have been derived from theessays of Julian Hayne. The view iswholly partisan and biased and iscontradicted by the findings of theMorgan commission which went into

the matter exhaustively. We note

that Minister Stevens is credited with'

the first and over-prom- pt recognitionj of the Provisional Government when,

;

as a matter of historical verity, and asthe Morgan report shows, the British

' Minister Resident, Major Wodehouse,was the first to recognize the new re-

gime. That he tried to back out af-

terwards, did not alter the fact that he

had found the Provisional GovernmentIn recognizame snape ai me aian. a&

for the "interference" of the Boston'smarines, no contemporary local Royal-

ist paper imagined such a thing untildays afterwards when they heard fromthe n's lawyer, one of themsaylr?g while the revolution was inprogress: "Our friends are needlesslyalarmed: the-Unite- States forces arenot interfering in any way."

4

The manner in which the Advertisercovered the visit of the fleet has won

Jt many compliments from the naval

Tn6n and the public. No other history

of the event need be written; the Ad-

vertiser's story, in text and pictures, is

the whole thing. It used to be thehabit here to. dismiss even a revolutionwith a column or so and there are nonewspaper files in the city which con-

tain an adequate account, from day to

day as the events occurred, of therevolutions of 1887, 1889 and 1893. In1895 the press asserted itself againstthe prevailing conservatism whichamounted almost to a censorship andthe events of the Wilcox emeute were"served up fresh." Now every pub-

lic occurrence is properly reported andthe most significant ones find, in theample space and pictorial facilities of

the Advertiser, the only means ofreaching the public in the most effect-

ive way.

If Japan means to" fight Russia sheis losing valuable time. Every weekthat passes adds to Russia's naval andmilitary strength in the Far East, butdoes not materially increase that ofJapan. The Mikado's fleet remainsas it was six months' ago, save for thevurcbase of two cruisers, but Russia'sfleet is being augmented as fast aswarships can be sent from the Euro-pean station and as torpedo boats canbe built at Port Arthur. Russian regulars are being shipped into Manchuriaby sea and transported there by rail;while the Japanese are merely recruit-ing comparatively untrained men. Ifthis state of things continues, Russia'sposition will soon be impregnable: andJapan will have the choice between in-

viting disaster to her arms or accept-ing humiliation for her pride.

:

The need of a naval general staff tocollect and digest information is verymarked. Ten years ago and lessAmerican naval men assured us thatwe had the best ships and the bestguns of their class in the world; butwhen the Spanish 4war came and webought the New Orleans from Englandwe found, to our surprise, that herArmstrong six-inc- h guns were nearlyequal in power to the American eight-inc- h

guns and that as a cruiser shewas superior to some of our own"cracks." We also learned from herthe value, in battle, of using smokelesspowder. After that development theNaval Intelligence Bureau of the Uni-

ted States was entitled to a back seatand the time came to consider the ad- -vtsaouity of creating a naval generalstaff in its place.

about the Maui judgeship when theoffice becomes vacant or before ifnecessary'- - Each judicial district ofthe Territory deserves the ablest andcleanest judge who can be had for theplace and no bench should be turnedover to the politicians to fill withsome one who has earned a job or who,

for any reason, they may wish toshelve. An office which has the powerof life and death, which can restrainone's liberty and sequester one's es-

tates, ought to be regarded as the mostimportant in the Territory as indeedit is in the extent of its power and thesweep of its authority. A failure tokeep that fact in mind has given Ha-

waii some of the worst judges thatever cursed an American community;and now that the survivors of the firstrecruitage are about to be turneddown, we trust that the Bar Associa-tion will see that a higher standard isestablished for those to follow.

The Illustrated London News printssome excellent photographic half-ton- e

pictures of Thibet and of its sequestered capital, H'Lassa, whither a Russianartist in its employ recently made hisway. With the pictures and textcomes the announcement, already hint-

ed at in cablegrams, that the Britishwill invade and occupy the country.This is a move, as a glance at the mapwill show, to protect the northeasternfrontiers of India from a Russian ap-

proach; it will create a British hinter-land which will present, to the north-ern expansionist, a fort in every pass.Afghanistan being well-establish- ed asa buffer State and Persia having beenwarned to permit no Russian court-ship, Great Britain feels that India isSfe on all sides but the narrow east-

ern one where its territories adjointhose of Russia's ally.

When Japan takes the woodwork outof her ships, gets railway rates forcarrying an army, tolls off a fleet oftransports, buys warships abroad andbegins to recruit troops at home, andwhen Russia places foreign orders formilitary supplies, starts all her available ships and men for Manchuria,builds ramparts at Port Arthur andnotifies China that she has no inten-tion of leaving the vantage groundwhich Japan bids her evacuate whyit is time for the insurance on Asiaticwar risks to rise.

The Argonaut which is using the bestof its irony and sarcasm against thePanama venture will be pleased toknow that a Honolulu paper is quotingits articles "as showing to what extremes the Republican organs are goingin supporting Mr, Roosevelt's imperial-istic campaign."

THE CREDIT SYSTEM

Tne Offia! and Commercial Record.lThe year ends with a hopeful tone in

Dusmess circles. - i

The Christmas trade has been thebest known for severaj years, not onlyin quantity of sales, but a larger pro-portion of cash sales have been madethan heretofore. Doing business oncredit has been the bane of businessin Honolulu. It should be discounte- -

hawt ,f oiHn- - m, ifjt. S

urnui i given gtruei aiiy, jl gives ui- -fense if it is extended to one man andnot to another. The giving of crediton small retail sales results in' manybad debts. To save himself, the store-keeper raises his price on everything,the result of which is that the cashcustomers not only have to pay theirown bills, but those of the dead beats'as well. This is not fair. The credit- -seekers should be made to pay for theiraccommodation by being put in a classby themselves. This can be easily doneby price-listin- g goods at 5 per cent.mgner man me casn price, ail pur- -chasers on credit can then be chargedat the list price, while cash purchaserscan be given a 5 per cent, discount.This will be simply another way ofsaying that credit-seeke- rs will becharged 5 per cent, more than pur-chasers for cash.

The grocers and a few other busi-ness houses pursue this policy now. .

If it were brought into general useit would have a strong tendency tobreak down the vicious retail creditsystem.

Before the Advertiser man could putquestions to him as he sat on the hur-ricane deck of the Doric, the presidentturned interviewer, and asked severalquestions concerning world affairs. Hefirst asked for a synopsis of the sit-

uation between Japan and Russia, anddesired particularly to know how Chinawas faring in the matter. Then hemade inquiries concerning the Panamatroubles. The presence of AdmiralEvans' fleet in the harbor interestedhim and he brightened up when toldthe fleet would sail for the Orient thismorning.

As to the affairs of his company, towhich the well known steamer Claver-in- g

belongs, he replied briefly that thecompany was still in line for business.At the time he was talking Mr. EngHok Fong was busily engaged in de-

ciphering a cable message which hadto do with the Clavering, and it isprobable that he will effect a settle-ment of the Clavering matter while inport.

RECITAL

Mr. Barton Makes Good

Impression in

Honolulu.

Gerard Barton, the new organist atSt. Andrew's Cathedral, made his firstappearance in a public recital before aHonolulu audience last evening at theGerman Lutheran church and scorMan unqualified success. The audienc?,which heard him, was unfortunatelyvery small and not at all commensuratewith the merit of the very excellentprogram given by Mr. Barton.

Mr. Barton possesses a firm, eventouch, and his rendition of the mas-terpieces from Mendelssohn, Wagner,Handel and other of the masters wasthe best perhaps, to which Honolulumusic lovers have ever been treated.He was at his best in the difficult num-bers chosen by him for the initial ap-pearance in public, such as Gounod's"Faust Prelude" and Wagners"Traume." One of his most enjoyablenumbers was Handel's "Chorus" (from"Samson"), "Then Round about theStarry Throne."

Two of the numbers, and they wereamong the most enjoyable, were tran-scribed for the organ by Mr. Bartonhimself. These were "Traume" (study-t-o

Tristan and Isolde) from Wagner,and "Andante Ca'ntabile" (from theString Quartette, op. 11), by Tschai-kovsk- y.

Mr. Barton fully justified the successwhich he had attained in California be-

fore coming to Honolulu.Mr. Isaac Dillingham assisted Mr.

Barton. He sang in good voice and histwo numbers were much appreciated.He sang the Aria (from "Elijah,") "Itis Enough," by Mendelssohn, arid"Nazareth," by Gounod.

The following was the program giv- -

Relieves DandruffImmediately

and causes thick, glossy hair to sup-plant the former thin,brittle growth.

Mowbfo's Herpicidoperforms its work on the principle," Destroy the cause, youremove theeffect," and consequently it reachesand kills off the ever-bus- y microbe,which is responsible for all scalpdiseases. It thus makes dandruffand falling hair impossible, andpromotes a luxuriant growth of hairthat soon becomes the pride of theowner. Even on bald spots it soonproduces hair as thick and luxuriantas anyone could wish for.

One bottle will convince that It is theonly hair restorer that really restores.

Solomon Meheula's demurrer to in-

dictment for destroying public docu-

ments was argued in the Federal courtyesterday. Judge Dole asked counselto file briefs containing their authori-

ties today, as he would like to make hisruling on Monday next.

The main ground of the demurrer isthat the Clerk of the Territorial Leg-

islature is not a Federal officer, hene-- i

is not amenable to the United Statesstatute under which he is indicted.

J. J. Dunne, Assistant District At-

torney, in the course of his argumentagainst the demurrer quoted the Or-

ganic Act where it prescribes that theSecretary of the Territory 'shall recordand preserve all the laws and proceedings of the Legislature, contendingthat the Secretary must of necessityobtain the documents constituting such"laws and proceedings" from, the Clerkof the Legislature. These were publicdocuments under the Organic Act pass-ed by Congress and their custodian be-

fore they were handed over to the Sec-retary of the Territory was therefore aFederal officer in that respect. If theClerk destroyed any part of the proceedings the Secretary could not recordand preserve them. Leaving out ofview, then, the broad theory that theTerritory was only the creature ofCongress and its affairs in consequenceof a Federal nature, the attorney forthe United States maintained that theClerk was shown to be a Federal offi-

cer. When Congress directed that theSecretary should record and preservethe proceedings of the Legislature, itmust have been with respect to thepreceding body of law which providedfor the protection of public documents.

C. W. Ashford for the defendant called his opponent's argument an "in-genious" one, but claimed that it failedto. prove Federal jurisdiction in thecase. Congress, had given Hawaii agovernment more nearly approachingstate government than any other territory had ever received. If it had rep-resentation in Congress with the rightto vote, this Territory's independencewould be practically complete. Th--

Federal court had no jurisdiction overoffenses against the Territory. ClerkMeheula was not a Federal official.What Congress might or must have understood had nothing to do with this indictment, as unfortunately for the caseCongress did not make the Clerk aFederal officer, nor make the legislativerecords in his custody public docu-ments, within the scope of the United

THE WORRIED WOMEN.They say men must work and

women must weep; but alas, inthis too busy world women oftenhave to work and weep- - at thesame time. Their holidays aretoo few and their work heavyand monotonous. It makes themnervous and irritable. The de-

pressed and worried woman losesher appetite and grows thin andfeeble. Once in a while she hasspells of palpitation and has tolie up for a day or two. If somedisease like influenza or malarialfever happens to prevail she isalmost certain to have an attackof it, and that often paves theway for chronic troubles of thethroat, lungs and other organs;and there is no saying what theend may be.

SIXT0 LOPEZ ISHERE ONCE MORE

Sixto Lopez, the noted Filipino leaderwho was one or the heads in the insurrection under Aguinaldo, is againin Honolulu. He arrived yesterday onthe Doric en route to Nagasaki, andwill probably remain in Honolulu fora couple of weeks.

The last time Mr. Lopez was a visi-

tor here he narrowly escaped arrestat the instance of Major W. W. Robinson, who was depot quartermasterfor the United States army at thattime, and the late United States District Attorney isaird. There was amidnight session between these gentlemen and others and the whole ma-tter of placing Lopez under" arrest fortreasonable utterances made over hissignature and which appeared In theAdvertiser as an interview, was discussed. It resulted in Lopez not being arrested, but it was a close shave.

Sixto Lopez did not want to be interviewed yesterday. He was addressed by an Advertiser man on thedeck of the Doric while he was busytransferring hi baggage ashore to beexamined, but his desire was not tobe interviewed in any matters.

"What is the object of your visit toHonolulu, Mr. Lopez?" was asked.

"Oh, I'm just going to stay here acouple of weeks visiting friends, that'sall," was the reply.

"Are you going to Manila, or any-

where in the Philippines?"Mr. Lopez considered the question

for a short period and then replied thatit was not his intention to do so yet,but that he jvould go to Nagasaki.

"Do you .intend to look up the sugarindustry while here, to apply it to theconditions in the Philippines?"

"Well, I shall certainly take advan-tage of the excellent opportunity pre-

sented here to look up the advancedmethods in making sugar, for I under-stand they use the finest machinery inthe Hawaiian mills, but I am not look-ing into that industry particularly."

"Your sister, while here, took quitean interest in the production of sugar."

"Oh, yes, I know she is quite in-

terested.""Have you anything to say regarding

the Philippine situation?""No, I do not care to discuss that

matter at present," was his reply.And that ended the interview.

TO PREVENT CROUP, begin intime. The first symptom is hoarseness;this is soon followed by a peculiarrough cough, which is easily recognizedand will never be forgotten by one whohas heard it. The time to act is whenthe child first becomes hoarse. IfChamberlain's Cough Remedy is freelygiven, all tendency to croup will soondisappear. Even after the croupycough has developed, it will prevent theattack. There is no danger in givingthis remedy as it contains nothing in-

jurious. It always cures and curesquickly. Benson, Smith & Co., Ltd.,Wholesale Agents, sell it.

GRAND JURY'S REPORT.Following is the report of the grand

jury:Honorable Jacob Hardy, Circuit Judge

Fifth Judicial Circuit.Sir: The undersigned members of the

grand jury called December 23, 1903.beg to report that fifteen criminal caseswere presented for their considerationby the Attorney General's Department,and after a careful and thorough in-

vestigation of the evidence submitted,a "true bill" was found in each and ev-ery case.

Following is the list: Territory vs.Angele Tepubeke, assault with a weapon obviously and imminently dangerousto life; Territory vs. Santiago, assaultand battery with a weapon obviouslyand imminently dangerous to life; Ter-ritory vs. Oscar Olsen and Gullaksen.malicious injury; Territory vs. Sam Luiand Maraea, adultery: Territory vs.Fugimoto, embezzlement; Territory vs.William Charman, Harry Charman andWilliam Charman, Jr., assault and bat-tery; Territory vs. Aby (k), assault andbattery with intent to maim and dis-figure; Territory vs. Takahashi, assaultwith a weapon obviously and imminent-ly dangerous to life: Territory vs. Pi-lip- o

Cruz, larceny second degree: Ter-ritory vs. Pilipo Cruz, larceny seconddegree; Territory vs. Pilipo Cruz, lar-ceny second degree; Territory vs. Er-nand- e,

assault with a weapon obvious-ly and imminently dangerous to life;Territory vs. Ahuna, assault and bat-tery: Territory vs. Koakano Opeka.3lrglary second degree: TeVritory vs.Ramon Rodrigues, burglary second de- -gree.

In your Honor's charge to us, refer-ence was made' to rumors of the illicitsale of intoxicating liquors. Althoughconvinced that there is ample founda-tion for these rumors, the limited timeat our disposal made it inexpedient totry to trace such reports to theirsource. Personally, none of the juryare cognizant of violations of the la a-i-

this respect.The Sheriff was called before us, and

stated that he was doing all that waspossible under the circumstances locheck it. but that he was greatly hampered by lack of funds for detective service, yet a number of arrests had beenmade recently and several convictionssecured

We incline to the belief that greatercaution and care in the issuance of licenses will have a tendency to diminisnthe evil. We do not entirely attributethe apparent increase of crime to thconsumption of intoxicants, but ratherto an influx of debased and viciousimmigrants. This view is supporteaby an inspection of the list of indictments.

We appreciate, however, that accu- -
