TIM Abenaum tLondon) of August 9Th has
review nearly four columns in length of Judge
Commanders "Polynesian Race" The work evil
IDENTIFY was carefully read and the author is given
credit for his valuable contribution, the work of
years Of labor and research, but the reviewer
thinks that $ he hardly has authority" for tracing
Poynesinn legends and words 10 an Aryan origin,
The review concludes as follows: "rhe authors
intention is to supply i'll moderate compass n mar
ratlve OF events as complete and accurate IA n
careful study of the original Documents, If they
may be 30 called, can afford We cannot doubt
that his labors will be appreciated in his adopted
country, and that scholars In all parts of the world
will feel grateful for his timely researches among
these last FADING traditions, as well for the
fund of varied and curious information he has
collected The absence of any index, table of con-
tents or even division into chapters is defect in
a work of this kind which tho publishers might,
under the circumstances, have been expected to
supply
MOST brutal assault was made few days ago
" William Golden, cook of the bark ;SnfoH, on
William Dunn, one of the seamen. Golden was
having some words with Kelly, one of the sailors,
When Dunn came along and took tho part of tho
lattel In the evening Golden went ashore to look
for Kelly and fight it ont. He went to the Key
stone Saloon, and while there Dunn came in.
ra1 In, ii.
why he interfered in the with Kelly and said
he would make him toe the chalk before they got
to :" Frisco" lie was quite enraged and Dunn
said, 1T would be cowardy to strike an old man
like me-" Later in the evening Dunn was taken
on board tie Sn6oik drunk and laid down on the
hatch Golden observed him lying there and
ilt ig him TO his feet began pounding him.
They both fell among some spars and closed
Dunn cried out that he was bitten and other
sailors pulled Golden off. Dunn said Golden was
coward to assault him in that manner and the
latter followed Dunn up and knocked him down
again. He was picked up covered with blood and
his tongue was hanging ont of his mouth, nearly
been bitten from the outside. Golden said in Court
that he was drunk and did not remember any
thing about the row. He was sentenced to six
months imprisonment at hard labor.
The much exaggerated report of the case Of as
sault and battery which lately occurred on the
Waianae Plantation, when sifted of all imagina-
ton, Is thus presented in its naked truth. Mr..
Pracht, who had recently been appointed as gen
eral overseer on the plantation, being man of
extended experience III plantation life, not
satisfied as to tho amount of work being done by
the Chinese laborers. and attempted to institute
what he deemed II proper reform whereby moro
labor and better discipline should be enforced.
This, as is usual i'll such cases, was met by n
sturdy and inso!cnt exhibition of INSTRUMENTATION
from the men III one of the gangs words canc to
blows i'll which Mr. Pracht as well as the revolters
got some rough handling, but the men were even
tnally controlled for the time. But powerful
Chnaman, and a leader in the revolt, not yet sat
isiied of Prachts physical ability to copo with
him, at least, sought yet another occasion to test
that ability, by an insulting provocation to fur
thor violence. He assigned n solitary job. of
which Pracht undertook himself To be the over
seer. The result was, that tho Chineman came off
severely thrashed individual, Pracht claiming to
having acted in self-defense, and the ChnaInan TO
having been brutally attacked. As the parties to
the affray, were those only present, perhaps the
word OF the overseer should be entitled to equal
credence with that of the Chinaman. That the
conduct of Pracht was extra legal we would not
attempt, however, to deny, but we fully appreciate
the possibility of of high spirit being urged
in certain cases TO excess by wilful provocation n
species of conduct neither nnkHois nor iHfie9nenf
among Chinese as plantation laborers Chinese,
according to the testimony of many who have
handled them on plantations, must be very SER
wants, or complete masters.
