For Gods sake, boy, what are you
doing? Oh, Bill, don't shoot
Again the weapon was discharged,
when Mrs. Hill sprang brayely at the
young assassin. The boy was very strong,
and holding her at arms length, fired full
at her head. Then, as she staggered back
and half turned away, he fired again. BY
this time the laborer, William Dean, was
nearly on Freeman, who coolly kept him
at bay with his pistol
Seeing Daniel Hill, a SOL of Mrs. Hill,
running from the dining room, Freeman
rushed over to where Jennie lay, scream
from pain. STOPPING down, he cried out:
God help US, Jennie | am coming too !"
With the pistol at his head, he fired, just
as Dean seized him. The boys brains
flew in the laborer's face. The man
dropped the corpse and fell f~ainting on
the grass.
A servant from the kitchen had reached
the scene by this time. and she and Dan
iel Hill found what they supposed to be
the bodies of four dead people stretched
upon the ground. Young Hill acted with
wonderful courage. After the first glance
he dashed at full speed aero IS the garden,
clearing fences in flying leaps. Reaching
the stable he seized a horse, dashed at
breakneck speed to the village. He went
to all five doctors on the island and sum
moned them all TO his home, whence he
quickly returned.
Dean, by this time had recovered, and
was engaged in removing Mrs. Hill and
her daughter to the house when Mr.. Hill
returned. The girl had received a bull
let in her head under the left ear, and
another in the center of the back of the
head. This last entered the brain. She
died this morning at IL o'clock, not hay-
ing regained consciousness after she fell.
Mrs. Hill was struck fair in the forehead
by the first shot fired at her. The second
shot, fred after she was running away,
penetrated the left side of her head to the
rear. Both wounds were seen to be ia
tai. She seemed conscious, and when her
husband reached her side her thoughts
seemed TO be for him. Poor Tim r. she
muttered. She expired about moor to-
day.
The islanders are wild with grief over
the death of the girl, for whom they
seem to have had an almost reverential
feeling, Had Freeman not succeeded in
killing himself he would surely have been
lynched.
Mr.. Freeman is simply crazed with
All this morning he sat quietly,
without showing any emotion, in the
room where his wife and daughter lay.
The Dung man, Daniel Hill, seems to be
crazy. Freeman's body has been
removed to a back room in the same
house. Mr.. Hill has directed that prep
a%rations be made for a triple funeral on
Sunday.

NEW York, June 24.-The Tribune
will publish tomorrow a long letter from
William c. Chandler, ex-secretary Of the
navy, reviewing the letter of Secretary
Whitney to the attorney general asking
for an opinion in regard to the proper
course for him TO pursue IN the matter Of
the acceptance or rejection of the new dis
patch boat, the Dolphin. The letter is
very caustic in its wording, charging that
the present secretary of the navy, while
closing the mouths Of the naval advisory
board, is making the Dolphin matter n
pretext to cast a slur upon the manage
ment of the naval department while under
his Chandler 81 management, for politi-
cal purposes.

the intention for some time to secure his
removal, and his superiors are not quite
certain what effect would be given to the
special statute under which he holds his
office. 1t has been hoped that he would
resign. Charges have been made against
him that he has permitted a ~defaulting
subordinate to resign, that he is guilty of
error of judgment, ineficiency, lack of
executive ability, and been careless in his
management OF silver purchases. Bur
chard's friends hold that it is due to him
self not to resign when such charges are
made.

delivering their seals of office, the mem

Of the scores before alluded to,
some are dead and gone, others
have scattered around and / know
nothing Of their whereabouts, but
about a dozen of them reside in and
near Honolulu, not one of whom is
now an opium smoker or an opium
eater. One point more, and I have
ended. The Adcertiser's citation
of British example is like saying
"Because very respectable and
much respected gentleman cut off
the head of poor innocent fellow,
there can't be much harm in my
cutting off another innocent fellows
head" Besides, great minds have
arisen in Great Britain and other
parts of the world who have not
scrupled to pronounce England's
part in the China opium trade the
blacklist and foulest page in all
British history; among whom might
be mentioned Lord Cairns, Cardinal
Manning, John Bright, and innumer-
able others. 1t may be true that
the English people are eminently
practical, and the brotherhood and
sisterhood of cranks' find scant
courtesy at the hands either of Par
Lament or press in the United King
DOM" but let not the Aduertiser
forget that the doctrine of bi-metal-
ism finds scant courtesy at the hands
of the people, parliament. and press
of the United Kingdom, doctrine
strenuously advocated by the PC. 4.

THE OPIUM QUESTION.

EDITOR BULLETIN - The opium
question is one in which everybody
concerned for the welfare of this
country must feel more or less inter-
est; for it is an established fact
which requires no additional proof
that the use of the drug is decidedly
and directly demoralizlng. Here, l
take it, there is no room for two
opinions: all are agreed. To put it
on par with the liquor question is
manifestly wrong. The immoderate
use OF intoxicants is certainly an
evil, which all respectable people ad-
nit; but very many respectable
people neither feel nor believe their
moderate use to be hurtful to body,

morning contemporary, that the
origin of the visit of special Japa-
nese Commissioner to this country
was reports that had gone home of
improper usage of japanese laborers
upon our plantations. The firm
stand taken by the japanese Gov
ernment for the redemption of the
fair promises. under which its peo-
pie left their homes for employment
here, gives promise of proving to
have been the occasion for the Ha-
waiian Government ridding this ma
ton of reproach that, throughout
the history of its contract labor
system, has been but ill-concealed
from the outside world. If the
Government is sincerely in earnest
and we have no specific reason
for doubling such to be the case
there is ground for hoping that the
time is approaching when the labor
that is producing this country's
wealth shall be raised to an honora-
BILE status. So honorable, indeed,
that it will attract to our plantations
classes of laborcrs who, at the eX-
piration of longer or shorter periods
of service will be ready to occupy
the homesteads into which the pub
lie lands Of the kingdom are being
divided. Labor being placed npon
such footing, and the public lands
so settled, it is not too much to eX-
pect that the natural increase of the
settlers should ultimately obviate
the necessity of labor being imported
in shiploads from abroad. Further,
under circumstances as described,
the welfare of the country, it may
be anticipated, need not be depen-
dent upon either return and con-
tinuance of the piping times of high
priced sugar, or the full success of
the diversified products now so as
siduously advocated. We know that
sugar culture is eminently adapted
to our soil and climate. Its profits
when prices are moderately good
should afford very fair return to
culturists on an independent basis
and a small scale, under q system
of cooperative manufacture and
marketing. Why, then, with free
and Independent sugar-culturists
upon small holdings replacing, to a
greater or less extent, the bond
servants now cultivating large plan
tations, should not this country
continue to be one of the leading
sugar countries of the world? Gov
ernment could as easily provide the
necessary AIDS of irrigation and
general improvements as it now
operates the elaborate machinery of
state immigration.
