A FOUL DEED.
A Chinaman Found iii His Store with
His Skull Crushed Im.i

About five O'Clock last evening a Chi
naman named All Sing went to a store at
the corner OF King and Piikoi streets
kept by his uncle Kok Yuk On enter
Ing the bedroom he found his uncle
stretched out on the floor with several
terrible wounds on his head He at
once gave an alarm and shortly after
wards Marshal Soper was acquainted OF
the fact. The Marshal telephoned DIR. G.
L. Rodgers to go to the spot at once. The
doctor did so and was soon afterwards
joined by DR.. Wood. They found Kok
Yuk had received two terrible blows on
each temple, crushing in the skull.
There was also a wound between the
eyes. On the floor by the side of the
wounded man was large axe which
was covered with blood The back door
of the house leading into the yard was
wide open. From the appearance of the
room there had evidently been struggle.
1t is supposed that Kok Yuk was lying
on his bed when first attacked, as there
was blood on the pillow and also on the
curtain. When first discovered Kok
Yuk was breathing and the doctors hav-
ing washed the blood from the face, they
ordered the wounded man to be taken to
the Queens Hospital, which was done
A a late hour last night he was still liv-
ing but there is very little hope of his
recovery.
Marshal Soper at once began an in
vestigation to find out who committed
the foul deed. Kok Yuk is a man about
forty-eight years eff age, and has been in
this country about three years. He
was a partner in the Kwong Lee
Lung Company, poi manufacturers. He
kept the books and collected the money
for the Company. His partners say
that they were not aware he had any
enemies. He was last seen on Saturday
night about nine o'clock, leaving Lee
Hops butcher store. On Sunday it was
Kok 4uk's custom to go down to the
poi shop at Kakaako to take dinner with
his partners. AS he did not put in an
appearance as usual yesterday, All Sing
weut to his store about five O'Clock in the
evening to find out what had kept him,
when he found his uncle as above
stated.
AS yet there is no clue to the perpetra-
tor of the deed.

The Past and the Present.


Ed. P. G. ADvERTIs ER-Sir: This
is the way it used to be told on the beach
a generation since, or about thirty years
ago, when the tides rippled along where
Kaahumanu joins Queen street.
fine clipper was chartered to take a
cargo from one of the islands at the west
ward. The charter part included planting
buoy, to be left for permanent moor
ings. The ship fell to leeward of the
landing, but after a struggle of several
days with head winds, battling wind and
currents, she drew near the place. The
heavy chain was overhauled and shackled
to the very large anchor AS the ship
forged up toward the island, and when it
was supposed that she was in the de-
sired depth of water, and in the desired
position, the order was passed to Flet 60"
It was deeper than estimated, proper
precautions had not been taken for pay
ing out chain, and the end had not been
secured. The whole procession went out
of that hawse in Il streak of fire and
smoke about twenty feet long. All hands
made break for the top-gallant fore
castle, looking over the rail to see the
hole in the water made by that anchor
and 120 fathoms of chain, gone out of
sight, "end on" That hole did not
answer as a thing to tie to for that ship,
or any following. She was forced to
beat back to the islands or the coast for
secure moorings.
We are looking for the "hole' the taro
flour subsidy made. Here was futile
attempt to advertise and establish an
article, that most of those who knew it
best believe will never be stable pro-
duction. Very few who have tried to
use it call it either a necessary of life or
a luxury. At best it is only curiosity.
Even if it were all some may claim for
it as a healthful or economical article of
food, the amount of kala available for its
production is limited, and is continually
lessening. The land adapted to it, and
the water required for it is worth more
for sugar or rice, and laborers of Amer
lean or European birth or descent neither
can or will work in taro patch mud and
water. Hawaiians are losing control OF
the trade in their own staff OF life, and
the Chinese are gaining it.
It is very uncertain how many long
years must pass before the typical small
farmer of Hawaii will be seen with his
bale of ramie or Peruvian bark, seeking
a market, like those in the Southern
States with his bale of cotton.
In the mean time we can look for the
good accomplished by subsidies already
paid. and prepare to advocate or oppose
others that threaten or that may be
asked for. For instances will not
scheme need and ask for the assistance
of the Government, whose estimates OF
expenditures for series of years with no
returns, do not include commissions, in
terest compounded quarterly. allow only
81 80 per acre each three months for
keep and clearing, and may show other
underestimate and omissions.
The conclusion must be that 1T Is not
necessary or wise to grant more subsI-
dies. There is danger and the proba-
bilitv that they will be given to assocl-
ated capital on too favorable estimates,
not to private and individual enterprise

San francisco, Aug 16-- The Chron.

The persistence with which the
woman suffrage advocates in Wash

rigi.v to vote is worthy OF better
cause. Twice the legislature has
passed law declaring that women
have a right TO the ballot, ard twice
the supreme court of the territory
has declared the law unconstitutioG-
al Now the believers In womau's
Suffrage propose to appeal the case to
the United States supreme court. If

THE First WITNESS.

). 5. Buynigsky, ex-agent OF the treas
months on The Island Of st. George and
some time on the Island of st. Paul IL
1871 and 1872, said that while on st
Paul Island he found the people good
uatured aud peaeeable. The terms OF
the contract with the Alaskan company
required that the company should look
after the peoples interests. He had no
reason 10 make any observations to the
agent of tie company with regard TO
the same. The company has issued or
ders that there should be no greater ad-
vance than 25 per cent ON tie commodi-
ties of life over Wholesale prices at San
Francisco. He was satisfied there was
no departure from the rule. The only
grievance the natives had was the at
tempted suppression by the agents OF
the compaay aud those of the govern
ment OF the practice by the natives OF
distiliing beverage which the agents
regarded as poisonous. The company
had given all its work 10 the natives at
fGir Compensation. The probable effect
OF the opening up OF com petition in the
seal fisheries, the witness said, would be
10 drive the seaIs from the Alaskan is
lands to the Russian seal islands and
the people of the A askan islands would
be deprived OF livelihood and Lave TO
