MATE FITZGERALD.
A Canadian Merchant Believes
the Dead Man is His Son.

Mayor Ellert received yesterday
a long and beautifully worded let
ter from ]. W. Fitzgerald of Peters
burg, Ontario, Canada. in respect
to Second Mate Fitzgerald of the
American bark Hesper, says the
San Francisco Call of March 26th.
1t will be recalled that Mate
Fitzgerald was killed while the
bark was on the high seas, by four
men who were brought up recently
on the Tropic Bird from Tahiti to
be tried in the United States Court
of this city for murder.
Mayor Ellert's correspondent
fears that the murdered man may
be his son, although the dispatch
which appeared in the Toronto
Globe and attracted his attention
spoke of the deceased as NJ. Fitz-
gerald, whereas the son of the
Mayors correspondent is named
William Henry.
What strengthens the elder Fitz-
gerald's conviction is the fact that
his son, who sailed on the whaler
Alert two years ago, has since been
sailing over the southern seas. He
was 81 years old, 5 feet s inches
high and a man of excellent habits.
In the reports of the tragedy
which have reached here the name
of the murdered man has been
given as Morris Fitzgerald, and the
anxious father will likely see mis-
son again some day.

PAYS ITS WAY.

The renewal Of public works
marks another step in the progress
which the government is making
in the general redemption OF Ha-
waiian affairs. Within a short time
the finance department has reduced
the outstanding current accounts
from some SCI, 900 to $14,0 900, and
the merchants of Honolulu are re-
ceiving their money promptly Tor
the first time in years. Within the
past six months men have received
payment of bills contracted under
the monarchy, which had long
been given up as worthless. The
government is now virtually on a
cash basis, and is paying its way.
Cash on the nail for goods sold the
government, or work done for it, is
a new departure in Hawaii but it
is one that is making the Ameri-
can method of conducting the gov
eminent popular, and has brought
to it the support of all the honest
and most frugal taxpayers of the
islands.

and the ex-queen has been II pre-,
vent the sending of lepers to tie
asylum at Molokai there can be
no doubt. This state of things
happily no longer exists and segre-
CATION has become the rule under
the Provisional government. Tour
ists and strangers are as safe herr
as they would be in San Francisco
or elsewhere, and a leper would
hardly be met here now in a years
residence. The removal of the
lepers from Kalalau has brought
the matter prominently before the
public and has provoked somewhat
of unnecessary criticism. which
neither the facts nor the policy
have warranted. Had the mon
archy done its duty and carried
out the law, no explanation
of the facts would now be called
for. The public is a unit on the
question Of segregation and
outside of the ill-timed differences

organ, and the uncalled for posi-
ton taken by one or two of its pc
litical hackers the policy Of the

vital point has received no oppo-

TWO SUGGEST
A Plan TO do Away With Many
appeal Gases.

Mr.. EDITOR: Suggestions are in
order f.r q vising some way to dis
ose "t tie excessive glut OF Grim
inal appeals in triding matters.
The time of the circuit judges as
well as of juries ought not to be at
the mercy Of the raft Of opium
smokers, che ia players, swipes
dealers and Of hoodlun assault
cases, all Of whom figure so largely
in the court calendar.
This appealing to a jury from
nearly every case of conviction in
petty matters, almost brings the
administration Of criminal justice
into contempt. The appellants
take all the chances of evidence
being lost or forgotten, witnesses
being manipulated and the jury
being antagonistic to the prosecu-
ton. They know that the country
pays the expense Of jurors. Law
yers are often found who will take
cases on speculation, "no win, no
pay" and altogether the admins
tration of our criminal jurispru-
dence is not an edifying spectacle.
If every appellant to jury is
made to pay $25 in cold coin, and
not in the form of a bond, for pay
ment of all jury and court costs if
he looses his case, and if full pay
ment has to be made in twenty
four hours after the sentence from
which he appeals, there Will be a
great falling off in jury appeals.
Perhaps a sheriff's jury may be
summoned once q month or oftener
if necessary to sit in the district
court to try all appeals in the class
Of misdemeanors above named,
thereby disposing promptly of such
jury appeal cases.
These two suggestions are made
for such opposition as they may
develop from persons interested.

HERR POLLAK IN CHICAGO.
The Fastest TaIker in the World
Makes His Debut on Midway
Plaisance.

Herr Pollak of Europe is here.
OF all the notables of the old
world Herr Pollak is the best
known across seas. Princes and
potentates may have eccentricities,
which render them conspicuous,
but Herr Pollak is chief of all the
freaks of Europe. There is not a
capital of the old world where he
is not known. He is about thirty
five years old and dresses quietly.
Yesterday afternoon he walked in
the Old Vienna, in the Plaisance,
and as soon as he got inside the
gates he announced in stentorian
tones: II am Herr Pollak of
Europe!"
Immediately an informal meet
ing of the officers was held and he
was given the freedom of the viii
lage. They did not grant the
honor from choice. They knew
the man and knew that he would
take it anyway.
Herr Pollak's specially is this:
He has a repertoire of 10000
words, which he repeats in forty
minutes, being at the rate Of 500
words a minute, as can be demon
strated. This is all he does, the
rest being orchestra, costumes, lime-
lights and business" as the actors
call it. This very remarkable man
says that he is the fastest talker in
the world and that the woman has
not yet been born who can keep up
with him for single dash. When
appearing in public, which he &C.
casionally does, he wears a cos
tune something like that worn by
an assistant to an Italian organ
grinder. 1t is not for money that
he appears in public. He is the
one European resident at present
in this city who does not want
money. Glory is his one aim in
life. He talks of it and dreams of
it. Fifteen languages are at his
tongues end, but they do not all
flow so rapidly as the one which
he inflicts on the public and which
he learned in his native town of
Prossnitz, Hungary.
The 10000 words he uses are not
in any way connected, and give no
meaning to the listener. In giving
his performance, after the band has
started up, he advances to the edge
of the platform and starts in. At
the word "Gop' he rushes at his
task like a Kansas cyclone at a
farmhouse. His style is some
thing like this.
Gratis, mice, cats, beer, beefsteak,
sausages, horseradish, pumps,
Turks, Chicago, pigs, ham, sugar,
vinegar"
Then he takes a quick breath,
and, as the leader of the orchestra
quickens the tempo, he goes at it
again with:
money, rum, idiot, chestnut,
cheese, dollar, gum, spring chicken
(this counts two words), street,
sweet, write, smile, chin"
And so on.
He places himself under bonds
not to repeat a word. He carries
around in his clothes 10000 forms,
which he says he will give to any
stenographer who will take down
what he Washington Star.

THE SEGREGATION POLICY.

The policy which the govern
ment has thus far followed regard
ing the segregation of lepers has
received the general commenda-
ton and support of the country.
The point which has been made
both here and abroad, that the
natives are against the policy of
segregation, needs considerable
qualification. The opposition of
natives to the segregation of lepers
is negative in its character, and
springs rather from Indifference to
the disease than from open opposi-
ton to the policy of segregation.
Wherever the more intelligent class
of natives have been heard TO ex-
press their views on this point,
they have generally agreed with
the sanitary measures now being
carried out. 1t must be kept
in mind. however, that the
natives are easily influenced
on all public questions, and
especially upon those affecting
their social condition. The segre-
CATION of the lepers is one of these,
which INSCRIPTIONS politicians
have not neglected to use for all it
is worth.

Briefly stated the facts show
there has never been time in the
history of leprosy in Hawaii when
segregation was as thoroughly car

most OF this number are per-

Under the monarchy both rulers
and administrations, for the past
ten years, have scrupled not to
bring the question of leprosy for
ward, as a political lever, at differ
ent times; and it is not astonish-
ing that the tactics of the monarchy
should be repeated after its fall.
We do not wish to make charges
against gentlemen" politicians,
but lately it looks like another
effort had been made to make po-
litical capital in favor of the royal
ist cause out of this terrible dis
ease. The bare fact that a political
opposition has been offered the
Provisional governments segrega-
ton policy, at this time, has war
ranted the suspicion that there is
something more than science and
patriotism" in such opposition.
That this opposition has been drop
ped almost as suddenly as it was
commenced only proves that its
hackers became aware they had
advocated an unpopular cause.

NOT FOR A MONARCHY.
The Stories About MelIo's ProcIama-
tiOn Were Not True.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-A special to the
Herald from Montevideo says: There Is
no longer any doubt here that the report
of the proclamation by Admiral Mello that
Prince Pierre be Emperor of Brazil is
utterly false, as are the stories of his de-
parture from Europe for the scene of the
revolution.
General Saldanha de Cana, Mello's chief
reliance in his fight, is stanch republi-
can. and could not be made to favor a
monarchy on any conditions. while the
Prince is said to be still in Vienna.
President Peixoto's agents are openly
accused of spreading these reports in order
to hurt the cause of the revolutionists.
The Herald's correspondent in Rio sends
word that conflicting rCmors are in circu-
lation there with regard to the attitude of
Peixoto's Ministers on the conduct of the
campaign against Mello.
Some of them think that the civil war
might have been crushed at any moment
during the last month by more aggressive
work on the part of the loyal forces. 1t
has become known to Peixoto's admins
tration that Mello intends to make
an effort to get out of the har-
Dor of Rio with his flagship
Aquidaban in order to meet Peixoto's
warships that are coming down from New
York and give them battle on the open
sea. Preparations to give him hot re-
ception as he tries to run the gauntlet of
the forts at the harbor's entrance are being
accordingly made with all haste. Word
comes from the Herald cores pondent in
Rio that the situation there is critical.

IRON MEN DEFEATED,
Their Ore Will Be Placed on

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-The iron ore men
were defeaed and the men who COM
batted so valiantly to keep this article off
the free list were to-day informally noti-
fed by the members of the Ways and
Means Committee that iron ore should be
placed on the free list The iron ore men
threaten to carry the fight to the floor of
the House.
The committee to-day concluded the
wool schedule of the new tariff bill. The
measure provides for the admission free
of duty of ali woods, and also repeals what
Is known as compensatory duties on
woolen goods and reduces the ad valorem
duties on such goods. 1t also repeals COM
pensatory duties upon carpets, rugs and
mats, and reduces the ad yalOrem duties
thereon from 40 per cent ad valoEem to 80
per cent ad valorem. 1t also reduces the
duties upon certain qualities of waste to
25 per cent ad vaiorem. The duty on
shoddy, mungo and certain other wastes
is put at % per cent ad yalorem.
Over 1000 petitions, kilograms and
memorials were received by members of
the committee fro m tenn perance societies
throughout the country asking that the
whisky tax be3raised.
