was Received.
Sheriff HaySelden Of Maui Summarily
Removed.


on the part of recipients of letters
and papers on Wednesday morning
after arrival of the mails from Homo
lulu. Quite a number of people
gathered in the vicinity of the post
Office, but no excitement prevailed.
Amongst the mail matter for Wal
luku was sent from Honolulu the
blank oaths to support and swear
allegiance to the Provisional Govern
ment of the Hawaiian Islands.
Judge Kepoikai and Magistrate
Daniels lost no time in following the
instructions from Honolulu, for as
soon as the blanks were received,
they exchanged courtesies by each
administering the oath to the other,
after which they proceeded to take
the oaths of other government Off
GERS in the district. Magistrate
Copp, after taking the required oath,
also performed similar duties in his
district.
Hon. F. H. Hayselden, who was in
Waikiki Wednesday, received let
ter from Marshal Ashley requesting
his resignation as Sheriff Of Maui
plements of Office to Mr.. Lorrin
Andrews, the Deputy Sheriff of Ma
kawao, who takes temporary charge
until the permanent appointment of
some one is made. Accordingly Mr..
Andrews came over on Thursday
morning to assume charge, and on
Friday morning Mr.. Hayselden took
passage by the steamer w. G.. Hall
and is now at home with his family
in Lahaina.
The brigantine John D. Spreckels,
now lying at the port of Kahului,
was taking in sugar when our cores
pondent passed through to Paia on
the train The Alden Besse in turn
will commence to load some time
next week. There is heavy output
of sugar in Kahului awaiting ship
ment to foreign parts.
On Wednesday there was an auc-
ton sale of land in Waikiki by order
of the Supreme Court. The pro-
perty was knocked down for $40
and Mr.. F. G.. Duarte became the
purchaser. Mr.. Henry Smith, Clerk
of the Court, welded the hammer in
| q satisfactory iuduueT.
The Amateur Waikiki Minstrel
Company was to have given an mi
tial performance last evening in the
Union schoolhouse to clear off the
painters contract for some removal
ton done to Kaahumanu Church.
The general admission was fifty
cents, and the charge for reserved
seats was one dollar. All the re-
served seats, $50 in number, were
taken. The performers hoped to be
able to turn over the surplus to the
Waikiki Hospital, a worthy object.
Some time ago the Sisters in
charge of the Waikiki Hospital
we're presented by the charitable
people of Waikiki and Makawao
with horse, carriage and outfit.
This kindly act of course was highly
appreciated by the recipients, who
are popular for their unbounded
devotion to the care of the sick.
The funeral of the late A. r. Laws
which took place at Paia on We'd
nesday, was largely attended by
friends of the deceased. He was
bookkeeper for the Hamakuapoko
plantation and had been in failing
health for several months past.
The sugar mills in the district are
still grinding. The Wailuku (Hon
r. D. Walbridge, manager) expects
to finish by the end of February
y According to the managers claim
the Wailuku mill, which works al
night under electric light, is run by
fewer hands and with less expense
than any other mill in the islands
and this appears to be the case from
personal visit made by our CORES
pondent, who was shown around b,
the efficient manager. Mr.. Wal
bridge is sanguine of turning GU
: the largest yield ever made by thi
plantation. The only vexatious mat
|, ter which appears to mar his expect
alton, is the water rights question
: now pending before the Suprem
Court between Claus Spreckels ant
the Waikiki plantation. Mr.. Spreck
els, it appears, is the koaohiki O
s landlord of the Ahupuaa of Wa
, luku, and he claims that the right
: of tenants (kuleana holders) ar
affected by the alleged diversion G
water from the lao Valley. On tn
other hand, whatever water is take
and used, is claimed to be surplusag
9 and of no use to the kuleana hole
ers. The adjudication of the cas-
will affect a question never befoI
a raised in the history of Hawaiia
: Jurisprudence.
