DIR, Graves SECOND Trial

DR.. Graves, the alleged murderer Of Mrs.
Josephine Barnaby of Providence. r. l., will
not be tried on May %, because it is impossible
to have the most important witnesses at Denver
by that date. District Attorney Steele said
yesterday he would not try the case until the
fall term of the court. "The witnesses" he
said, "cannot come at this time of the wear.
But they will all be here in the fall, and DIR.
Graves will again be tried for the murder of
Mrs. Barnaby."

A pet coon belonging to the duke
Of Newcastle was shot and killed
yesterday morning by Ernest Mar
jot, who lives on Beretania street.
The animal was in Mr.. Narjot's
yard when it was shot. About
3 80 o'clock Marriott was awakened
by hearing a loud noise in the vi
cinity of his chicken house, so he
got up to investigate. He saw a
dark object running, and, thinking
it was a mongoose, let drive with
his revolver.
All that remains of the coon now
is its skin, which will be preserved
for the duke.

STEVENS ENDORSED.

John L. Stevens, who so ably
represented the United States in
the Hawaiian Islands, and whose
acts as American minister were so
generally approved in this country,
did not need to make any addi-
tional explanation Of his conduct
at the critical period during which
the rotten remnants of royalty were
superseded by an honest intelli-
gent government, but at the invita-
ton of the citizens of his home,
Augusta, Me-, he last night made
plain some Of the circumstances
and conditions by which he was
urged to action. In his address
there was nothing but what every
student Of Hawaiian affairs knows
to be the whole truth, and although
specious writer's have endeavored
to becloud testimony, peryert Ian
guage, and disturb the nations in
terested, no one can for moment
doubt the accuracy of Mr.. Stevens
statements. No one will ever seri-
ously question his statement that
"the monarchy died by its own re-
volutionary hand, a suicide of
blunders, incompetence and cor
ruption." Especially interesting
was the testimony which proved
most conclusively that neither
Minister Stevens nor Captain
Wiltse had any part in the
movement which resulted in the
establishment of the provisional
government, and that the Amer
lean flag was not raised until its
elevation was absolutely necessary
for the protection of Hawaii's best
interests. For this use of the stars
and stripes Mr.. Stevens has been
severely criticised by political an
tagonists, but he has established
beyond the reach of factious argu-
ment the righteousness Of his act.
1t seemed as though the fallen
queen, assisted by the opium and
lottery rings" might succeed in
securing foreign assistance which
would have no regard for the vast
quantity of American property on
the islands and but little for the
lives Of those Americans who had
uprisen to free the beautiful and

GROWN LANDS.
4 Brief History of Their Crea-
ton and Division.
Where They are and How They Are
Held.

\ foreign correspondent desires
Us to state briefly what the crown
lands are, their extent, and whe-
ther they are available for agricul-
tural enterprises by purchase. Dur
ing the past two or three years,
several statements have been pub
lshed here relative to the crown
lands, and yet very little seems to
be known about them abroad.
In the division Of lands which
took place during the reign of Ka-
mehameha III. he reserved a por-
ton for himself, gave to his chiefs
another portion, and a homestead
to each of the common people who
chose to send in a claim for the
land which they were occupying.
The exact proportion allotted to
each is not known, but it is certain
that the people had by far the
smaller part, as the eleven thou
sand grants awarded to them are
mostly small holdings, of less than
five acres.
After the above division Of lands,
the king, finding that it was desir-
able that the government should
share those which had been re-
served by him, decided the larger
portion of his estate to the govern
ment for the use and benefit of the
public treasury, reserving the
choicest for himself. Thus, instead
ofthree, there were four divisions of
land-those of the king, the chiefs,
the government and the common
people.
In the year 1865 the Legislature
passed law creating commission
to take exclusive charge of the
crown lands, the income from
which belonged to the reigning
sovereign; and from time to time
it enacted laws regulating the
holding and disposal of the same.
Regarding the extent of the
crown lands, the most reliable data
place the number of acres between
100000 and one million. But it is
probable that when a full record is
made of claims considered more or
less doubtful, the total area will be
found to exceed the highest esti-
mate named above.
Most of these lands are leased,
some of them in large tracts and
for various terms, none exceeding
thirty years, with many of the
leases expiring during the present
decade. Leasehold is the only ten
ure on which they can be procured,
as their sale is prohibited by law.
The crown lands are located On
each of the islands. Hawaii hav-
ing about one-half of the whole.
Probably one-ffth Of the estate is
available for cultivation of some
kind of fruit and other products,
and the balance as pasture land,
though a portion of it may be
termed worthless rocky mountain
land.
1t will thus be seen that the
crown land is not available for pur-
chase, and that the best tracts of it
are under lease for some years to
come Planters Monthly.
