In the Court.
TUESDAY, Feb. 18th.

TUESDAY, Feb. 2Sth.
A decision of the Supreme Court
in banco has been filed in the case
of New Kung Tung and twenty
others VS.. Wong Ka Mau and ten
others. The case is an action for
trespass upon a fishing right at
Eva, and the jury rendered a YER
dict for defendants. Plaintiffs ex-
cepted to the verdict and alleged
errors of law during the trial, the
principal being the refusal of the
Court to admit in rebuttal as evil
dence of plaintiffs title, the records
in a previous case.
The Court unanimously overrules
the motion and hold, that "where,
in an action of trespass, the issue
is the title to the property alleged
to be trespassed upon, the burden
is upon the plaintiff to prove his
title; he, having put in such evil
dence in chief, may not in rebuttal
introduce evidence of the same
character after the defendant has
closed his case"

TO BE STOPPED.
Sunday Liquor Selling Has Had
It's Day.
tFrom Daily, Feb. 2s.

From Daily, Feb. d.
During the Doodle regime saloons
and billiard parlors and other re-
sorts had carte blanche regarding
the sale of liquor on Sundays. Of
course it was against the law, but
for long time the Act has been a
dead letter.
Marshal Ashley has made up his
mind to stop the Sunday liquor
traffic, and his first act in this di-
rection was to issue an order of ar
rest addressed to Macfarlane & Co.,
the liquor sellers. The summons
was served yesterday on c. NJ.
White, an officer of the corporation,
and the matter will come up this
morning in the District Court.
The saloon which is picked out
as bad example is the notorious
resort known as the Commercial
Saloon. The place is situated on
the corner of Nuuanu and Bere-
tania streets. 1t seems that the
bar-tenders of the place mentioned
sold liquor last Sunday to sailors.
Under the law they cannot be ar
rested, but the holders of the license
can, hence the arrest of Macfarlane
& Co.
1t is the intention of Marshal
Ashley to push this case, in order
to prevent violations of the law in
the future. An attempt will be
made to have the license of the sa-
loon forfeited.

nexation had been, in many instances,
based upon misapprehension of facts.
One of the developments of the after
noon was that in certain Senatorial
quarters there was desire to effect u
compromise by making the present
protectorate permanent, but Senator
Morgan was quite vehement in his de-
nunciation of such scheme, which
he characterized as much worse than
no action at all.

Talk of Sending Troops.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The Herald's
Washington special says: Anticipat-
ing the ratification of the Hawaiian
annexation treaty by both the United
States and the Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii, the military and
naval authorities are discussing what
should be done for the preservation of
the peace on the islands pending the
establishment of a permanent govern
ment. 1t is realized from tie hetero-
geneous character of the population of
the islands and the general tendency
of the native element TO revolution,
that to peacefully maintain American
sovereignty over the islands there
must be proper display of military
from the time annexation becomes an
established fact.

Dinner was served at 6 80. The
table was beautifully decorated
with flowers, magnificent bunch
of bigonias being the center piece.
Mr.. Lucas, formerly steward of the
Hawaiian Hotel, was the caterer,
and the menu was masterpiece.
Its discussion, agreeably varied
with conversation, kept the COM
pany at table from 6 80 until 9.
No wine was served, but Apollinaris
furnished a sparkling substitute.
The menu cards-the work of a
son of Capt. Mist-were a model of
delicacy and ingenuity. Each rep
resented yacht, painted in water
colors on cardboard covered with
tapa.
The Hawaiian Quintette Club
was in attendance and furnished
music from the veranda. There
was plenty of conversation, but no
politics. The following was the
menu:

backward condition as they are this
year.
1t must be remembered that all
pending legislation left unfinished at
noon on March 4th dies with this
Congress. 1t is not so with executive
business like the Hawaiian treaty,
which comes before the Senate in its
function as a single and permanent
legislative body, and remains on the
calendar continuously until disposed
of. Under these circumstances it will
not be at all strange if the vote on the
ratification of the Hawaiian treaty is
forced over into the special session of
March and April next. The oppo-
nents of the treaty, if they really de-
sire such result, can easily bring it
about, for they have only to continue
the debate of the convention through
several afternoons to force the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations to ADAM
don its efforts to get q vote on it be-
fore March 18th.
No Significance
WASHINGTON, Feb. -. The dis
patches received from Berlin about
the protest against Hawaiian annexa-
ton made by the German Colonial
Association are regarded as of no sig
nificance whatever. The resolutions
referred to were adopted by sort of
chamber of commerce and carry no
official weight. Germany has no more
idea of filing protest against anneXa-
ton than has England or France.
Majority For the Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-A poll of
the Senators who are doubtful about
Hawaiian annexation shows that I'M
less sudden and unlocked for revul-
sion of feeling occurs the treaty will
be ratified by more than the required
two-thirds majority. There are still
many doubtful ones, but they declare
themselves that there are more than
two to one who look upon the treaty
with kindly eyes. The latest figures
to night were forty-five for and thir-
teen against, and of those remaining
amounted not much fear need be en-
tertained. Ii is claimed that not more
than twenty will vote in the negative
out of total of lightweight.
The Latest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The Ha-
waiian annexation treaty was again
under consideration in the executive
session of the Senate to day. Morgan
of Alabama occupied most of the time
in a strong speech in favor of the
treaty, and Vest, Pettigrew, White and
Others indicated their unfriendliness
to it
As the time for the adjournment of
Congress approaches it becomes more
that nothing will be done to-
ward the confirmation of the treaty
during this Congress. Vest and others
who are hostile declare that they will
not allow it to come to vote, and the
friends of annexation are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of letting the matter
drop until the next Congress, as it ap-
pears probable that there may be an
extra session.

On Her Way to America.

LONDON, Feb. %. = Princess Kaiu-
lani, heiress to the throne of Hawaii,
sailed for America to-day accom-
panied by her guardian, Theophilus
n. Davies. In an interview with a
correspondent before her departure
she said she had no definite plans and
would be guided by the advice of her
guardian. She proposed to go to Bos-
ton and remain till after the inaugu-
ration of Cleveland, then 20 to WASH
ington and probably make a personal
appeal to the new President. She eX-
pressed the hope that she might gain
the sympathy of the American people.
She could not see why she should be
summarily deprived of her rights
through no fault of her own, and
without being even notified to appear
in defense of them. She knew moth
ing of the affair except what she had
read in the newspapers. She declined
TO express any opinion on Mr.. Harri-
sons message recommending anneNa-
ton, or whether she would accept
monetary consideration in case it was
done. She evidently considers her
case hopeless. She declared herself
entirely opposed to the policy of the
Queen, which led TO her overthrow.
She did not want a protectorate for
Hawaii, but independence. She fav-
ored the idea of her guardian, that
regency be appointed for three years,
with President Dole of the Provisional
Government as President, she to be
crowned Queen at its expiration. 1t
I-oS avidant that she was pI1ided hV

From Minister Stevens.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Among the
correspondence upon the Hawaiian
situation sent to the United States
Senate by the President was
confidential letter from Min
Foster, written last November. In it
Stevens gave full statement of the
financial, agricultural, political and So
cial condition of the islands. The fol-
lowing paragraph, in view of the ap-
peal Of the Princess Kaiulani to the
American people, sent out from Lon
don few days ago, is of peculiar in
terest: 1.-THE heiress-apparent has al
ways been. and is likely always to be,
under English influence. Her father
is British in blood and prejudices,
firmly intrenched here as Collector of
Customs, an important and influential
office. She has been for some years
and still is in England. Her patron,
who has a kind of guardianship over
her, 7. II. Davies, is Tory English
man who lived here many years, who
still owns large property in the ISL
ands and is a resOlute and persistent
opponent of American acquisition
of Pearl harbor Mr.. Wode-
house, the British Minister, has
long resided here. His eldest son is
married to a half-caste sister of the
Crown Princess, another son is in the
Honolulu postoffice and daughter
also is married to a resident of one of
the islands. The death of the present
Queen, therefore, would virtually
place an English Princess on the Ha
waiian throne and put in the hands of
the ultra-English the patronage and
influence of the place. In the exist
ing state Of things, with non-Ameri-
can Intervention, these influences,
skilfully handled are nearly equal,
and frequently superior, to the power
of the Legislature. Add to this the
power of the irresponsible mob of
hoodlums and there results a state of
things which would put it in the power
of Canadian and ultra British schem-
ers, with a subsidy of $50, 900, to secure
control of the Legislature and, by
prompt and vigorous action, secure
Canadian and British franchises, priv
ileges and rights entirely legal, to get
rid of which would cause embarrass-
ment and expense to the United States
and her allies here.n

To Leave for Home.

WASHINGTON, req. 22--MeSSrS.
Wilder and Marsden, of the Hawai-
ian Commission, have arranged
TO leave Washington on Thursday
morning for San Francisco, in order
to catch the steamer sailing on March
Sd for Honolulu. They say they are
going in the full hope that they may
take back to Hawaii the news of the
ratification of the treaty of annexa-
ton, and they want to be near San
Francisco in case of any action so that
they may reach home with as little
delay as possible. Commissioner
Marsden has already gone to New
York, but will make the transcon-
tinental journey in company with his
associates. Commissioners Carter,
Thurston and Castle will remain to
see that their interests receive due
attention.
No Decline of Interest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. = The fact
that the Senate has not vet found
time to consider the Hawaiian treaty
must not be taken to indicate de-
cline of interest or confidence on the
part of its advocates in that body.
The treaty is now on the executive
c.lendar, and it can be called up for
consideration during any secret ses-
sion. Its supporters are satisfied that
they can secure its ratification when
ever vote is ordered; but they are
not disposed to insist on considering
the treaty Immediately, to the neglect
of the great volume OF even more ur-
gent business now pressing upon the
Senate. Only nine full days are left
of the present session, and il is neces-
sary TO get through in this brief time
the bulk of the annual appropriation
bills, which have seldom been in so

Admiral Stanton dipped his flag to Mello

The Charleston, he said, was in the har-
Dor of Rio when Admiral Stanton commit

which he has been recalled. According to
the man-of-war's man, there was no other
boat in the river which flew a Brazilian
flag that did not belong to or was under
the command Of Mello. No comment was
created there, he says, as other foreign war
ships had done the same thing, and Admiral
Stantons recall occasioned the greatest

MIR. BLOUNT UNRELIABLE,


Testimony Of a Democratic Newspaper
The San Francisco Examiner, the leading
democratic paper Of the Pacific coast, says
of Blounts report:
I'VE do not believe Mr. Blount to be quite
a safe foundation on which to rest so
heavy a policy as that which the admins
tration seems to be building on him. From
all accounts he has no judicial qualifca-
lions. His report itself shows a little too
much anxiety to make out case. 1t rep
resents him as continually trying to extract
damaging admissions from the friends of the
provisional government, in the manner of a
lawyer attempting to trip up hostile wit
ness. In this laudable effort he seems to
have proved too much. He has shown to
his own satisfaction that the revolution
was started without any apparent justifca-
ton by dozen conspirators. trembling for
their own safety, and who had to be con-
tinually prodded into action by the Amer
lean minister. Mr.. Stevens is pictured as
recognizing the new government before it
had any existence, and forcing it on the
terrified people at the muzzles of the Bos-
tons Calling guns. That is not the way
in which the situation appeared to persons
who were on the spot at the time, which
Mr. Blount was not. The Examiner cor
respondent in Honolulu, watching the revo-
luton from hour to hour, and describing
what he saw as he saw it, told of the pop
ular turmoil that followed the queens at
tempt to establish lottery and overthrow
the constitution. A mass meeting of white
citizens was called, and of this the cor
respondent said:
The white meeting was attended by
about 1000 reputable people and strong
language was used in denouncing the action
of the queen. A resolution authorizing the
committee to take action and provide
means for obtaining a stable government
was adopted on a standing vote
The representatives of foreign govern
ments other than our own opposed the land
ing of American troops. If therefore the
creation of the provisional government had
depended upon that Intervention alone one
would naturally think that they would have
been slow to recognize the new order of
things. But the Examiners contempora- "
account of the proceedings said:
The foreign representatives acknowl-
edged the provisional government almost
Immediately, with the exception of Stevens,
who held back until he learned that Mar
shall Wilson declined to surrender until he
was officially notified Of his acknowledg-
ment.'
why should the foreign ministers have
been so prompt to recognize the work of a
few conspirato-s. unsupported by public
sentiment? And does not the guilt of the
revolution, If there was any guilt about it,
rest upon them as we'll as upon us?"
