THE PROPOSED TREATY.
THE LABOR AND CURRENCY
QUESTIONS.
What Government officials Say About
Them-Vice- President Damon
Talks.

President Dole was asked about the
labor proposals in the new treaty this
morning, but declined to talk, Another
official, however, was more communica-
tive, and said it was the desire OF the
Government to obtain some special ex-
emptions from the operation OF the
American contract labor laws.
Vice. President Damon was asked to
throw some new light on the silver pro-
posals. He talked as follows:
81 said yesterday that we have 5000,
900 in silver currency IN this country
and, if the old treaty that the com.
missioners took over had gone through,
this silver would have been worth just
its intrinsic value and nothing else,
which is from 62 to Ga cents according
to the market price of silver In the
United States,
"This would have ocCasioned great
loss in this country, for within a single
day after the treaty was ratified there
would have been drop, and a silver
dollar would have been worth, say, o5
cents, which, even allowing 1t to be
worth 6725 cents, would have been a
total loss to the whole Islands of $500,
900. Now it is proposed in the new
treaty to look int this matter. Our
dollar has every bit as much silver in
it as the American dollar, and should
be equal to it when we are annexed"
"What about those smaller coins,
nickles and cent pieces that were coined
as provided for by the last legislature p
asked the reporter.
There will be nothing done about
them at present, although the people
need them badly. We have counter
handed the order for their coinage and
no more coins of any description will
be struck off"
This was all Vice President Damon
had to say.
OF the 100000 silver in these
islands, there is, at present, $3.50 900
in circulation and $25o,ooo in the
Treasury, for which there are outstand-
ing silver certificates. There is not a
single certificate outstanding that has
not the silver behind it.

POLICE COURT.
A Dull Day for the Magistrate No
Cases on for Trial.


When Judge Foster glanced over the
transcript this morning he bit the end
of his pen, gazed at the edge of the
desk and it looked as if he was well
primed and loaded for all offenders.
But, for one reason or another, trials
failed to come about, and the session
soon passed over without sensational
incidents.
Jonathan Spooner, for attempting
violence on Julia S Rice, will open his
heart to the magistrate next Monday.
All Sang and All Hong, for having
opium in their possession, were pulled
in by Patrolman Makaila, but they will
have to think over things until next
Thursday.
Joel Kahinu, and Dick Kekona, for
playing che ia near the Mormon church
on PunChbowl street, are the inmates
of the white washed Jail.
r, Palau, for playing the festive che
ia game also, on Beretauia and Nuuanu
streets, was yanked to the paved courts
of the Maison Hitchcock by Patrolman
KAPPA this morning.

A BIG DELINQUENCY.
Over $4,000 More on the Delinquent
List Than Last Year

Over $4,000 More on the Delinquent
List Than Last Year
Dropping into the Tax Office nova
days you will find the new ASS ssor and
the new Deputy at their duties, but
they are probably finding nothing new
in the fact that they have got to work
like beavers.
There is a big delinquent list this
year footing already upwards of $Io,-
900 which is $4,000 more than last
year with many districts yet to hear
from. 1t is not complimentary to
Oahuites that this island shows greater
proportion by far than it should of non
paying properties. For as rule on
the other islands the taxes have been
paid quite well up to date and the de,
linquent lists for them are not large.
The change last October in the Office
of the Assessor, in dispacing c. A.
Brown and appointing c. N. Spencer,
was loss of over $1,000 to the G'vern-
ment, as Brown, having been over five
years in this Office. had been prompt
and energetic in his collections, while
Spencer, who belonged to the old
Royalist regime, allowed the taxes to
go uncollected and accumulate, until
now it is quite hard matter to collect
them, especially against the poorer
natives who have but small properties.

The STAR asked Hon. w. g. Irwin,

thing concerning his views on annexa,
ton this morning
"Mr, Irwin, the STAR has published
you in its list of heavy taxpayers as an
Annexatlonist, and comes around this
morning to ask if you desire any
change.

piled Mr.. Irwin, smiling, 81 leave all

IN A WOODEN BOX.
Larsen's Shrewd Device to Capture Che
Fa Men.

This morning at 8 o'clock Detective
Larsen made clever capture of che
ia establishment. He also gathered
in two native dealers-Joel Kahinu and
Dick Kekona-and about fifteen
players.
Now detective Larsen had never
read the immortal Homer and the
deeds Of the ancients at the siege OF
Troy, when they got armed men into
the city concealed in the belly of the
NEUROLOGICAL wooden horse; but the
detective knew what he was about when
he went after this gambling outfit just
the same.
The plant was situated near the
Mormon Church out on Punchbowl
road. Larsen concealed specials Ka-
mana and Makaila in an old piano
box, put the box on a dray and
hauled it up to the house where
the drawing was in progress This was
in order to avoid the sentries posted on
all the corners near by.
When the dray had dumped the boz
out, up came the top and out sprang
the detective and his specials.
There was lively scampering but
Larsen gobbled them all. At the
station the players all turned evidence
against the dealers who are now a
liberty under $a5o bonds.
Larsen will make the che ia anC
pakapio gamblers perspire before hi
finishes with them.

FOR TEN YEARS.
Herring Sentenced for the Killing Of
d L. Huntsman.

~ l.. HuntSHan'
There was quite a crowd in court
this morning when August Herring,
who killed ID. l.. Huntsman, was
brought to the bar for sentence. Judge
Cooper presided and when he asked
the prisoner if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced Herring's attorney, c. w. Ash
ford rose and made an earnest plea.
He had been heard on the same sub
ject before, but without visible results.
In his second appeal he said that he
had come into evidence since the trial
which, If he could have possessed it
sooner, would have had great weight in
clearing the prisoner. He pleaded
against the maximum penalty.
Judge Cooper overruled all the pleas
and after a careful review of the case,
IN which he said that he was of the
opinion that Huntsman was in pros.
trate condition when Herring fired the
fatal shot, said The infection of the
mortal wound when the deceased was
in a helpless position warrants this
Court in inhicting the maximum penalty
for the crime, which is ten years i'm
prisonment at hard labor"
Herring had listened in sort of
dazed way to the remarks of the Judge,
and when he had finished he bowed
his ringleted head in seeming acquiesc-
ence and skunk back to his chair, where
he was taken in charge by the bailiff
