Hawaiian Complication to Be Aired.

WASHINGTON, April lit begins to
looks as though the action of Commits
sioner Blount, at Honolulu, may yet
uncover some political scandals. 1t is
now alleged that the Sugar Trust con-
tributed largely to the Democratic
campaign, and is the power behind
the throne which is debating the hos
tility to Hawaiian annexation. In
deed, it is now urged, if not clearly
settled, that Mr.. Blount has exceeded
his constitutional authority, and that
he had no right to assume power over
Minister Stevens and supersede him.
1t is therefore not unlikely that these
events will lead to investigation, and
may lay bare the part the Sugar Trust
has had in the matter.

UNOIGHTLY STREET SHEDS.
Mayor Stenman Holds Out Steadily
Against Them.
An Owner Lectured for Disregardine
an Order OF the City Trustees to
Remove His Shed.

At yesterdays session of the City
Trustees Mr.. Prendergast stated that he
had been notified to remove his awning
at the corner of Sixth and l streets. He
had two contractors examine it, and they
both pronounced it all right. He did not
wish to take it down till fall, when The
hot weather would be over. The man
who rented the property for a saloon had
told him that if he took down the awning
he would move out.
Prendergast said he did not wish to
lose his tenant, and asked the board to
give him till that time to remove the
awning.
Mayor Stein,nan thought it would do
no great harm if the saloon man did
move out, as it makes one less saloon,
and the city could spare it. If the avn
ing was not to come down he would like
TO know it, and if so he wanted to get out
OF the board. If there was any pull he
wanted to know where it was.
The awning, he said, was one of the
rottenest in the city, and these contract
ors declare it sound. Just SO with the
awning in front of the Metropolitan
Theater. 1t was declared sound, and the
other night a piece of it fell down as be

lie said he was tired of such work. If
the board would not sustain him in this
case he wanted to get out. Mr.. Prender-
gast was good friend OF his, and had al
ways been, but he promised to take the
awning down last May and had not vet
made a nONn toward If He n his
house last Sunday night to bulldoze him
into letting it stay, and he did not want
any such work.
MIR. Prendergast denied any intention
OF bulldozing the Mayor. lie admitted
that they had decidedly animated argu-
ment for minute or two, which ended
by the Mayor informing him that the
awning must come down within twenty
toue hours, or he would himself have
him arrested. The Mayor wanted these
matters conducted in open board, and id
not want people running around to see
individual members. Ii the board would
sustain him he wanted to know it.
Trustee Green said he should certainly
vote to sustain the Mayor. There were
too many rotten and unsafe awnings IN
the city, and they ought to come down.
Trustee Conklin thought that it should
be ascertained with certainty that avn
lngs were unsafe before they were con-
demned. There are many sound avn
ings on K and j streets.
The Mayor said the new curbings were
now being set on X street, preparatory to
grading the street, and now was the time
for the old awnings to come down. The
owners were propping them up till the
curbings were laid, and would then let
them down on the walks again. Now
was the time they should be taken down,
before they fell and before the new side
walks were laid. Then they would he
out of the way of the street contractor.
The Street Commissioner agreed with
him, and Trustee Sonklin said he thought
it was all right where the awnings were
weak.

A CHANGE OF AIR.
Thomas Lynch Goes to San Quentin
For Three Years.
He Thinks the Climate There VIII
Agree With Him Better Than
That of Folsom.

Thomas Lynch, who robbed a room in
Ebner's Hotel, taking $500, watch and
pistol, and who was arrested by Captain
Simmons shortly atterward, was ar
raigned in Judge Catlin's court yester-
day. E. c. Hart appearing as his counsel.
He pleaded guilty of burglary in the
second degree.
Captain Simmons stated to the court
that he ascertained during his investiga-
ton of the case that an ex-convict, Frank
White, otherwise known as the "Irish
Kid" had given the prisoner an opium
pill on the morning of the robbery, but
whether before or after he could not saw.
The prisoner claimed that he could re-
member nothing of the robbery, and
Simmons stated that he had been
playing cards recklessly and acting
like crazy person, losing great deal
of money and drinking and spending
considerable money for liquor. When
arrested he had only 81 80 on his person.
The other property had been recovered.
The court inquired If the prisoner had
ever been arrested before, and was in
formed that he had been sent to Folsom
for burglary about two years ago, but
that the prior conviction would not be
urged against him. Neither the court
nor the District Attorney seemed to re-
member the former conviction, but on
turning to the records it was found that
Thomas Lynch, alias Harry Welch,
pleaded guilty to burglary on October 10.
1891, and was sentenced to Folsom for
two years.
The prisoners counsel stated to the
court that Lynch had relatives in San
Francisco; that the climate at Folsom
did not agree with him, and if the court
could think it proper he would ask that
Lynch be sent TO San Quentin, where he
could be near his relatives, and where
the climate would agree with him better
The prisoner, in answer to questions
by the court, stated that he received
credits on his term at Folsom, and that
he had 1.-THE fever'' for eight weeks last
summer, and also for the past two weeks,
having it just previous to his discharge,
which was on the 18th of June. He re-
membered nothing of the robbery.
Judge Catlin then sentenced him to
three years imprisonmenta at San Quentin.

that cemetery lots were being sold on
credit. 1t must not be done; the city
might give lot where a person was too
poor TO buy, but lots were to be sold
strictly Tor cash, and he instructed
superintendent Fawcett that, no matter
what custom had ruled in the past, they
must now be paid for
superintendent Fawcett presented the
plan Of the projected new vault, which
ne SAID was badly needed; the city had
lost 81 per month since last April on ac-
count of not having aproper vault.
The Mayor said it was certainly needed
badly.
ON motion of sTrustee Conklin. the
Mayor was instructed to investigate the
cost of vault.
THE POUNDMAsTER AGAIN.
Mayor Steinman said the Poundmaster
had been ordered to repay to William
lor lmpounding horse which ran away
and ran into a stable. He had not
oDeyed the order, and he thought the
oflce should be declared vacant. The
matter was referred to the Street Com
missioner, to be reported on next week.
SALOON NUISANCE.
The Mayor called attention to the saloon
close to the gate of the City Cemetery,
where he said loafers congregated and in
suited ladies going to the cemetery. He
thought 1t ought to be wiped out, or the
keeper be made to keep order. The
license ought to be revoked, but he was
willing to give the man a chance. He
ought to be notified to take away the
benches from in front of his saloon and
keep a respectable place, or his license
would be revoked. This was a matter for
the board to deal with, and he moved that
such action be taken.
The motion was carried.
Alter allowing the usual number OF
bills the board adjourned.
