PIPE LEAVINGS.
A Mixture Which Is Claimed to
Contain No Opium.

A peculiar case involving an important
point was heard by United States Commits
sloner Sawyer yesterday. In last February
Chinese named Dee All Tom was arrested
by the Internal Revenue officers for manu-
featuring opium. The case never had q
complete hearing until yesterday, when all
the facts were brought out.
The defendant all along acknowledged
manufacturing certain article, but claim ed
that 1t was not opium. His operation con-
sisted IN taking the ashes and scrapings of
oplum-pipes and all the leavings and resid-
uum OF opium that he could obtain. These
lie would mix with gum-arabic and other
stutfs and sell. He manufactured almost
$50 pounds at time He claimed that even
II there were little opium in his mixture
duty had already been paid on it, and it
could not be taxed again. He denied that it
was smoked, and claimed that those who
used it mixed it with pure opium before
using it.
The revenue officers. on the other hand,
made the claim that the mixture was a sec
ond-claSs kind of opium, and that Chinese
smoked 1t and became inSenSible from he
effects.
IL the examination yesterday a number
OF eXpertS were called OIL the subject. f.
W. Harris, Is. NJ. Thomas and c. w. e.
bridge testified for the Government, and
said that the mixture contained opium.
Thomas said he had seen Chinese smoke it
with the same effects almost as pure opium.
Professor Price. on the other hand, testi-
ned that there was no opium in the mixture,
or l! there were any it was hardly percepti-
bic.
Commissioner Sawyer concluded to hold
An Tom to answer on the charge brought
The case is Of interest to the Internal Rev
enue officers, as it is the first one arising
under the operations of the Mckinley bill.
Oiher similar seizures have since bee n
made, which all depend on decision in All
Toms case

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
HerOism Of Natives in Rescuing
Seamen From Il Watery Grave.

The Pacific Mail steamer Australia arrived
from Honolulu bringing Hawaiian exchanges
to July 2Sth. The following is summary
Of recent events in the islands:
On July 11th, during terrific gale at
Kawaihae, three canoes, containing thirteen
men and a boy, were blown off to sea.
Learning of the calamity slOop-owner OF
that place put his fine craft at the disposal
OF any one who would go to the rescue ana
native sailor raised q volunteer crew OF hye
and started. One of this number, boy,
was dashed by ropes halfway up the MAN
mast to keep a lookout, which he did Tor
hours in the face of the gale. 1t was near
sunset when the lost men were found out at
sea clmging desperately to their frail crafts
and were rescued and brought back. Great
credit Is due the native sailors, and partlcu-
larry to the boy on the lookout, whose DO 81
ton. In the cold and wet, was difficult anu
painful one to maintain for so long time.
1t was he who sighted the canoes, of which
Two were found, the other having drlIteu III
shore early in the day with its exhausted
owner who gave the alarm.
A proclamation dated from Iolani Palace,
July 2S, 1891, says: 1t has pleased her
Majesty the Queen to appoint the Hon. John
Mott-S Smith to be Minister of Finance, vice
Hon. Hermann A. Widemann, resigned.
On the evening of July 9th reception
was tculclou ny HAS hOllOT the Ciltt Jus
tce to General and tho Misses Armstrong
and Miss Agnes judd at the Justices resi-
dence. 1t was a very brilliant &ffair.
The railroad company'S warehouse at
Kahuli, Maui, was destroyed by fire July
18th, with loss of $4,000.
The Advertiser of July Goth says: The
steamer Mokolii, arriving Sunday from
Molokai, brings news that the island is suf-
ferring greatly for want of rain. NJ rain
has fallen at Kaae for several weeks and
that is place where it usually rains almost
every other day or SO. The pasturage of the
whole Island seems to be drying up.
Tie American ship Pactolu5 of Boston
put into Kawaihae. Kahala, on the 18th. 81
days from Hong Kong, and short of provi-
slons aud without water, which circunl-
stance had caused such disagreeable results
among the passengers, some 600 Chinese
among them, that mutiny was feared. and
would probably have resulted from another
twenty-four hours at sea on such short ra-
tons as had been necessary. The Pactolus
mad not anticipated such a slow trip, and
was only provisioned for So days.

THE LAWS DELAY.

1t May Make Mrs. Mary A. Godfrey a
Bigamist.
The grave and reverend gentlemen who
comprise the Supreme Court of California
were given an idea yesterday of the wrongs
that result from the laws delays.
Mary A. Godfrey of Alameda County
brought suit in 1888 against her husband,
George, for divorce, alleging that he was
cruel AMI had used harsh language to her.
Godfrey filed 4 cross-complaint charging her
with infidelity, and on January 9, $780, the
husband was granted a divorce by the Su-
perior Court of Alameda County, and al
though he YVES worth $3.50 600 no order was
made dividing the community property.
There were two children, and the elder
was given to the father and the younger to
the mother Mrs. Godfrey appealed the case
to the Supreme Court, and six months after
married the man who was correspondent in
the action against her.
Yesterday Godfrey's attorney asked the
Supreme Court to dismiss her appeal on the
ground that If it was not dismissed she,
being the wife of Merry and claiming that
her divorce from Godfrey was illegal,
would be n bigamist.
The court considered this novel point
and gave II. E. Eighton five days in which
to prepare a brief showing that Mrs. Merry
is not a liClmiSt
