Esquimau Boys Tortured by Russian
Fiends in San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, June He. P. Alexin,
superintendent of a school which occupies
the basement in the Graco-R Russian church
of this city, and his assistant, Professor
Lighda, were arrested this afternoon on a
charge of cruelty to children. Fourteen
Esquimau boys were rescued from the
school and, according to statements made
by Joseph SEWN, priest of the Russian
church, the boys have been the victims of
extreme neglect and cruelty.
The priest states that the boys were in
duced to come here from Alaska upon the
representation that they would become
priests, but that in reality they are slaves.
He says that the superintendent has fire.
quently been intoxicated, and that he and
his assistant have beaten the boys brutally,
and shut them up in dark cells for days at
time, giving them insufficient food and
clothing. They have been taught nothing
and have rarely seen the sunlight. Several
OF the boys declare that Alexin has been
guilty of atrocious practices with them.
The boys show evidences of the ill-treat-
ment to which they have been subjected.

The Great Fire at HonoluIu.

SAN Francisco. June 1.-THE steamer
Mariposa, which arrived today from Aus
tralia, via Honolulu, brings fuller particu-
lars of the government warehouse fire at
Honolulu, June 2. Several workmen had
been soldering leaking kerosene tins in
warehouse shed short distance from it,
which was used solely for the storage of
oils. An employee, in moving soldering
furnace, used handful of waste taken
from the floor of the shed, which hap
pened to be saturated with oil. The fire
ignited the shed and spread to the ware
house, which was soon a raging mass of
flames. The firemen were unable TO get
water from the plugs, and the explosion
of number of drums of gasoline, of
which there were several hundred in the
warehouse, drove them to distance The
fact that the warehouse was constructed
of brick and iron, with little wood work,
and that there was scarcely any wind,
saved that portion of the town from de-
struction. A greater portion of the oil,
of which there were 5000 cases, of the
value, at Honolulu retail prices, of $780,
600, was owned by the Standard Oil Com
pany. The rest was divided among several
holders. There were also about 1000 gal
Ions of gasoline in the warehouse, part
of which was saved. The insurance was

Hamilton. Ghost WIN Not Down.

New YORK, June 1.-The Herald says
that while Robert Ray Hamilton's friends
and his late partner are going about clos
ing up his affairs and settling his estate, a
witness turns up who is willing to swear
positively that Hamilton is not dead, I'M
less he died within the last two weeks.
The witness is Henry Strong, formerly of
Green, n. Y. He declares that two weeks
ago today he met Hamilton face to face in
the Yellowstone Park region. He recog-
nized him at once. Strong came TO New
York two days ago and said nothing to
anybody about his meeting Hamilton, I'M
til he read in yesterdays papers of the ar
rival of his partner, Sargent. and his
slightly confused statement. He came to
the Herald Office last night to make his
statement.

INDIANAPOLIS. June 1i.-An unusual and
rather sensational incident interrupted the
hearing of case in the supreme court of
Indiana this morning. 1t was a case in
volving the right of foreign capital TO ex-
port the natural gas of this state to Hi
nois. The Chicago gas trust is said 10 be
behind the defendants. Arguments were
to be heard this morning, but when
court opened. affidavits were submitted
alleging that the plaintiff had been pro-
cured by the defendant company to bring
suit; that the attorneys were all hired by
the defendant, and the whole suit was a
fraud upon the judiciary of the state.
The counsel Indignantly repealed the in
situation, and the justices referred the
matter TO the master in chancery for in
yestigation,

A mysterious shot was fired near the

The shot frightened Hall & Gallo

Officer John Sullivan. Officers Powers and
Townsend were standing only block
away from the scene of the shooting,
but they were unable to locate
the exact place from which
the shot was fired, much less
the person who fred it. 1t is their
opinion, however, that some one in
the Pacific lodging house, over the w. T.

Der of strikers desire to return to work at
the employers scale, but are prevented
from doing this, according to the sheriff,
by about 200 radical strikers. A riot will
follow an attempt to resume work, and

ing out the militia is now being considered.

The Aluminium Age, of Cincinnati, an
nounces the reduction to 80 cents apound,
$3.50 per ton, of the new metal, alumni
mum, in unlimited quantities by a New
port aluminium company. II is claimed
that the chief causes of the large reduc-

tracing the metal from the clay, its pro-
duction on larger scale, the aid of CAPT.
tai, and the recent lawsuits now pending
in the United States courts between rival
manufacturers.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1891-09-29

A BRIEF item in Harper's Bazaar,
New York Tribune and other Am
erican papers states that "the chair
of oratory in the University of
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, has
been offered to Miss Norma c..
Crawford, of Minesville, Penn"
We question whether Miss Craw-
ford has received any such offer
from these islands as is stated
above, inasmuch as no such insti-
tuition exists here called the "Uni-
versity of Honolulu" and no clas-
steal institution here has a vacant
"chair of oratory" to offer to her
or any other professor of oratory,
while all the teachers required for
our local institutions are in service,
and, so far as we are aware, no va
cancies exist. Hawaiians pride
themselves on their matchless ora
tory, as displayed in the political
arena and in the legislative hall;
and he would be bold professor
who should undertake to improve
their style or language, particu-
larly when declaiming in their own
vernacular.

The Wrefched Condition of the
Old Fish Market.

Mr.. EDIToR-DEAR SIR: Through the
medium of your paper, 1 wish to call at
tention to the fearful eyesore affecting
people having dealings at or near the
Fish Market; namely, the great number
of leprous-looking dogs that infest the
market and surroundings, including
Nuuanu street. 1t seems to me there are
enough dogs around and in the market
afflicted with disease to faint every fish
that enters it-certainly enough to seri-
ously curtail the business of that institu-
ton if the patrons instead of their
Chinese servants were to make the pur-
chases. It is not very long ago the
police had this matter in hand, but they
seemed to entirely ignore the Fish Mar
kettle home and producer of these
