The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-09-16

Mr.. EDITOR: Nearly everyone
in our city has been greatly inter
ested in the struggle going on in
the Legislature, but are we not in
danger of forgetting that an cleo
ton for two Mobiles for Oahu is to
take place in about two weeks.
What this country needs to-day IN
the Legislature is men with we'll
known business ability, men who IN
their own businesses have shown
themselves thoroughly capable.
We want men of principle, men
who have some stake in Hawaii,
and hence are not likely to do any
thing which will prejudice the well
fare of this country. We have far
too many men in the Legislature
now whose chief ability consists
in pounding the air with
their fists and yelling themselves
black In the lace In their EFFORT 10
say-nothing. [ would like to
suggest two capable men, in the
hope that they may be prevailed
upon to allow themselves to be
candidates--Robert Lishman and
Mark P. Robinson the one rep
resentative mechanic, an honest,
hard-working, successful man
the other, a straightforward bust
ness man, with large property in
terests in this country, and hence
not likely to advocate anything
which would injure our financial in
terests. It is by electing such men
that we will solve Hawaii's diff
culties, and not by sending to the
Legislature relics Of a past genera.
ton, or untried, irresponsible poll
ticians, be they National Reform
Reform or Liberal. We want men
in our Legislature.

FAILURE OF THE RECIPROCITY
COMMISSIONERS MISSION.
Blaine and Foster Would Not Negotiate
With Them Because They Were Not
Authorized to Bind Canada Independ-
ent of Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Sir John
Thompson, Hon. Geo. E. Foster and
Hon. Mackenzie Bowel, Canadian COM
missioners, closed their negotiations
with Secretary Blaine and General Fos-
ter this afternoon and LETT this evening
for Ottawa. The state department Off
cials refuse to make known the result of
the conference. but it is believed the
visitors were unsuccessful in their mis-
sion, because Of their alleged failure to
satisfy the representatives OF this gov
ernment that they were authorized to
make commercial treaty entirely inde-
pendent of the direct interests of Great
Britain.
The proposition Of the Canadians, so
it is understood, was that treaty
should be concluded on this basis
First-The renewal of the reciprocity
treaty OF 1854, with the notifications
required by the altered circumstances OF
both countries.
Second Reconsideration OF the treaty
of 1888, with respect to the Atlantic
fisheries, with the aim of securing free
admission into the United States mar
kets of Canadian fishery products in re-
turn for facilities to be granted: United
States fishermen to be allowed to buy
bait and supplies and to tranship their
cargoes in Canada; all such privileges to
be mutual.
Third-The protection of the mack
erei and other fisheries OF the Atlantic
ocean and in inland waters.
Fourth-Relation of the seaboard

He Gets Sentence of Fifteen Days
for Disturbing the Peace.
"Papa" Schurtz was in court yester.
day. A gentleman of title who gave the
name OF Col. David Mannheim had him
arrested for battery. Judge Owens
fined "Papa" Schurtz three big Ameri-
can dollars. According to the testi-
mony, Mannheim visited the Palace
saloon and began eating the butter.
Papa" Schurtz saw that his butter was
disappearing in an alarmingly fast man
ner. Without thinking OF the conse-
quences, the proprietor asked his guest
to quit eating his butter. This modest
request angered Mannheim and he
hauled off and landed on "Papa"
Schurtz's face. The latter retaliated and
did Mannheim up. There were several
amusing scenes in count. Mannheim
said that he was governor of Nevada
and walked up to Judge Owens and
asked him to examine his muscle.
Mannheim registered at the Nadeau
hotel on Sunday night as 'Col. D. Man
helm, U. S. consul, Bombay" Ten
minutes later he again registered as
"Col. d. Mannheim, Hong Kong consul"
He also wrote out check on the Cali
fornia bank for $10.10, which the clerk
at the hotel refused to cash.
Judge Owens sent Mannheim up for
fifteen days on the charge of disturbing

FUTURES DEFENDED.
The Chicago Board of Trades Fight
Against the Anti Option Bill.

The Chicago Board of Trades Fight
Against the Anti-Optfon Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Chicago
board of trade had hearing before the
house committee on agriculture today
on the anti-option bill, and throughout
its president, Charles w. Hamill, OPP
posed the passage OF the bill, on the
ground that it prohibited dealings in
Futures" The system of deliveries, )"
Hamill said, grew up in response to a
demand from the agriculturists for a
continuous open market, which was i'm
possible without future buying and
selling. He believed the sale of futures
was in the interest of producers. Spec
ulation, in his opinion, had a tendancy
to sustain values. If man was pro-
hibited from buying for future delivery,
great stimulus to buying was taken
away.
In answer to query, Hamill admit
ted that sometimes speculation forced
prices down, but he believed this was
generally temporary, and that in the
aggregate it sustained prices. "Puts
and calls" were not tolerated by the
board of trade. 1t was purely gamb-
ling transaction, and the board would
welcome anything which prohibited it.
In answer to questions Hamiil said
there was settling room in the board of
trade building in which ''puts and calls"
were frequently bought and sold from
the time the exchange closed until
O'Clock. No record was kept. of these
transactions, and in his opinion these
dealings had no appreciaDle effect on
prices in the open market.
The board OF trade, said Hamill, re-
quired actual delivery, not personal de-
livery OF wheat, but delivery of ware
house receipt on which wheat could be
obtained. The sale was made on actual
wheat, and that sale could be duplicated
indefinitely, just as So bill could be
passed from hand to hand. The con-
tract must be lived up to whenever the
time arrived for it's fulfillment.
Referring to Hamill's assertion that
the agriculturists had first demanded
future dealings, Hatch called attention
to the fact that there was an unbroken
line of agricultural organizations de-
manding the passage Of the bill.
Hamill said the millers would like the
bill passed, because it would give them
a monopoly and enable them TO puy on
their own terms.

La Grinpai

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment ais a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

THREE TARIFF BILLS.
What the Ways and Means Committee
Has Decided to Do.

What the Ways and Means Committe 9
Has Decided to Do.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The ways and
means committee will report three tariff
bills to the house during the present
week. This much was determined up
on at meeting of the Democratic ma
jority today, and the measures to be re-
ported are: The Springer free wool
bill; the Bryan free binding twine bill,
and the Turner bill placing cotton ties,
cotton bagging and machinery for max
ing the same, on the free list.
The provisions of the Springer bill as
finally approved by the Democratic
committeeman have been published.
Springer, in explaining his bill said
"All woods and hair, and all waste mat
ter are put upon the free list; all waste
advanced beyond the condition of
secured wool shoddy and mum
go, are taxed % per cent.
The rates on wooden and worsted yarns,
fixed for all values at 35 per cent ad
valorem, are equivalent to from 103 to
l22 per cent. The rates on woolen and
worsted cloths. shawls, knit fabrics,
etc., are fixed at 40 per cent. The
equivalent rate under the Mckinley act
is not stated under all the items, but on
worsted the rate was from 80 to LAG per
cent. The other rates not stated would
vary from 80 to 800 per cent. Blankets,
hats of wool and f1annels for underwear
are reduced from 80 to 25; from 35 to
80, and from 40 to So per cent. Under
the Mckinley act the rates are from
73 to ITO per cent. On women's and
children's dress goods, etc., having cot
ton warp, the rates are fixed at So per
cent. Under the Mckinley act they
are over So per cent. On the same,
with wooden warp, the rates are fixed at
40 per cent. The equivalent rates in the
Mckinley act are 80 to ITO per cent.
Ready made clothing for men, and
cloaks, Jackets, etc., for women, are
fixed at As cents. The rates under the
Mckinley act are S2 and 81 per cent.
The rates on carpets OF all kinds are
fixed at 30 per cent; the equivalent
rates under the Mckinley act are from
so to 81 per cent"
The rates are lowest" said Springer,
upon goods to be used by the masses
of the people, and highest upon high
priced goods to be worn by the more
wealthy classes, the reverse of which
was true under the Mckinley act. The
average rates in the pending bill will be
between so and 35 per cent, as against
40 per cent in the Mills bill."

fore Judge Shaw again yesterday, but

BIFF I! BANG! BIFF +!
A YOUTHS EXPERIENCE WITH !
PHYSICAL CULTURE GIRL.
He Wanted Caress-She Gave Him a
Knockout Blow and Put Him to
Sleep-A Little Episode That Hap
pened Last Week.

Biff! bang biff! and little white
fist, decked with rings, landed a straight
jab on his nose, and her right followed
her left in an uppercut on his chin, as
he sank to the floor.
"You coward, you drunken cur; don't
you look pretty? You'll dare to strike
me, will you? Get up if you dare"
But he did not get up, not perhaps be-
cause he did not dare, but because he
was badly dazed by the blows he had
received.
He and she had entered the resort
where the row occurred about half an
hour before. 1t was place where you
can get something to eat, glass or
more of good beer and hear fine music |;
the time was one evening last week.
He is nickel plated youth of the
city, who has too much money for his
own good. He had been an admirer of
the girl he was with for some months,
and that evening bad induced her to
visit the place where the row occurred
''just to hear the music" She is a
West End girl who is well known, and
who has spotless reputation, and feel
ing confident of her escorts reliability
she at last consented to the lark and
went with him to the beer hall. He
had been drinking before he called for
her, and during the evening imbibed
large quantities of mixed drinks, and
he consequently lost his head. AT last
he grew reckless and wanted kiss.
She laughed at him and he grew angry.
She said she would go home. He said
no. She started to go out of the apart
ment they were in, and he, not thinking
what he was doing, gave her push
back.
That's where he made mistake, for
she was one of the physical culture fad
girls, and had muscles like steel and
alertness not impaired by cigarette
smoking and drinking. As matter of
fact, she could have taken two Of the
average young men of the day and
banged their empty heads together. She
could box, fence, swing clubs. do the
horizontal bar and trapeze, and in con-
sequence was afraid of nothing.
That was why the "biff! bang biff"
commenced the story and ends it, for
she stepped around her PROSTATE antag-
onist, calmly walked out of the place,
aud calling cab she went home, not at
all the worse for wear, excepting that
her dimpled knuckles were bruised.
And the young fellow? When he
came to himself he found his face was
badly broken, and he wears patch over
his left eye yet.

THE ALvARADO CASE.
A Suit Involving a Valuable Piece of
Property on Trial.


Judge McKinley's branch OF the SUI
per!or court yesterday was packed with
the Spanish-speaking people of Los An
geles. In TACT it seemed as if all citizens
of the City OF the Angels who discourse
in the dulcet accents of Andalusia and
CASTLE felt it incumbent on themselves
to be present during the trial of the case
of G. f. de Alvarado VS.. James Rawson
ct al. According to the complaint filed
in the case the plaintiff made deed to
the defendant for piece Of property
extending from Main to New High
streets, and now known as the Rawson
block. The complainants allege that
Sonora Alvarado, who made the deed
for said property, was insane, and had
been insane for the past twenty-five
years. In the answer the defendants
make general and sweeping denial of
the statements of the plaintiff. Messrs.
Orfila, Reymert, Moye Wicks and Me-
serve appeared for the plaintiff, and w.
G. Ryan and H. O'Melveny were the
counsel for the defense. The examina-
tion of witnesses will proceed this morn
