white man created an excitement on
Beretania street near Fort street by
beating his wife, Portuguese woman.
The facts of the case as far as could
be learned are as follows The
man had been maltreating and beat
ing his wife for some time and as
she claims, she has supported him
even to buying newspapers and tobacco
for him and becoming tired Of this
she ran away from home week ago.
1t was only last night that he dis
covered her alone on the street when
he at once, beat and abused her tear
ing her clothes and taking her hat and
shawl from her 1t was at this juncture
that the police we're called and after
good deal of parleying on his part,
which terminated in loud talk and
general abuse of the crowd that had
gathered, he was taken to the Station
House.
Last evening about halfpast eight
o'clock a hack was driven rapidly down
Hotel from Nuuanu street and disap-
pared toward the Hawaiian Hotel
When in front of Horns bakery the
screams Of young native girl attract
ed the attention of almost every body
on the street. When first seen she was
sitting on the step of the hack with her
feet dragging on the ground while she
was either holding to the vehicle or
was being held by some party inside
the hack. Different parties on the
street called to the driver to stop but
he paid no attention to their cries. A
policeman, as usual, stood in the mid.
die of the street and did nothing. All
who witnessed the affair is of the
opinion that something was decidedly
wrong. The matter ought to be looked
into at once by the authorities. This
is the second case Of the kind within a
year. 1t is understood that white man
was in the hack.
$50 you didn't know l gave 'em all
icecream ?" said the genial Henry Hart
as he came into the PRESS office yes
terday morning. "Gave who icecream,
Mr.. Hart ?" cried the shipping reporter
as he fairly bounded into the air
with the water running out of his mouth.
The business manager dropped his eye
glasses into his lap with look of des-
pise and the editor put both feet into
the waste-paper basket to quiet his agi-
tation. When Mr.. Hart saw the damage
he had done he immediately made
atonement by asking the occupants of
the editorial room to come up and try
a dish. The shipping reporter imme-
diately recovered sufficiently to make
blunder in the shipping news the
business manager replaced his glasses
on his nose with the wrong side out,
and the editor dipped his pen into the
mucilage stand and wrote the following
local son last Sunday Mr.. Henry
Hart of the Elite Ice Cream Saloon
sent gifts of icecream to Oahu Prison,
the Queens Hospital, and the Leper
Settlement. The inmates Of these diff
ferent institutions sent the plates back
empty and expressed the warmest thanks
for Mr. Harris cool compliment.
The following local clipped from the
columns of the Carson, Nevada, E,ee
Lame where Mr.. Daggett, our ex-Minis-
ter Resident is well known will be of in
terest to many of our readers: "a grape
vine telegram from Washington City
brings the news that Hon. Rolin NAL
lory Daggett has disclosed to President
Cleveland and his Cabinet the weighty
matters which where committed to his
charge by King Kalakaua upon the
departure of the ex-United States
Minister from the dominion of His
Dusky Majesty. 1t is briefly PROPOSE
ton for the absolute annexation of.the
Hawaiian Kingdom to the United
States upon the condition Of its being
admitted to the Union on an equal
footing with the original States, as
Texas was in IS4s. This may to some
extent explain Mr.. Daggett's apparent
indifference to the standing of the
Senatorial contest in this State, for il
his present negotiations should succeed
he would have no difficulty in securing
from the grateful new State of Hawaii
anything that he should ask. The
present King would probably be his
colleague. The new State would be
entitled to three members in the lower
house in Congress.
The last day that the sailors Of the
Constance were allowed on shore three
of the jolly tars decided to demonstrate
the fact that they could steer and navi
gate horse just as well as they coulc
handle ship. So early in the morn
ling, they we're on shore and were soor
perched upon three sorry looking
animals that looked as if they were in
capable of doing any mischief. The
small party started out at first rather
cautiously and walked their frey steed'
down King street. The "old salts

riding was little too bouncy for theil
comfort. The horses were started anC
