opium brought into the coun-
try contrary to law no one
will deny and most people
believe that large portion OF
it comes in vessels plying be-
tween ports on the Pacific
Coast and the Hawaiian ISL
ands. To acknowledge this
as a fact is to argue that the
men who bring it here and
land it successfully are smart
er in their business than the
men employed by the Govern
ment to keep it out. Where's
the remedy?
On the other hand it is
believed that opium is landed
from numerous small schoon-
ers sailing out of Victoria and
Vancouver, which clear for the
Japan Sea with permission to
stop and trade at ports in the
Hawaiian Islands. If the
sands on the beach, of the
small islands to windward
could bark their information
of the doings of these long
rakish crafts" what a yelping
there would be. There might
be check put on this class of
customers if the Government
would petition the Custom
House authorities of the
United States and British
Columbia at ports along the
Coast to deny the masters of
these small sailing vessels
clearance papers, such as is
mentioned above. A request
of this character would be
honored without a question,
and opium smuggling through
that source might have a set
back. If. in the opinion of the
Government it is not a good
thing to license the drug it
looks to a man up a tree. as
though extraordinary means
should be taken to prevent its
importation. What's the matter
with organizing a revenue
marine service and have a cut
ter that could do patrol work ?
We are now handling the

finished and strong; having
double doors they are not easy

The price is about right.
You will find a hanging
lamp useful at all times even
when you have electric lights

also find after you have exam

tablishment that ours are Just
a little mite better and a great
deal cheaper. They have the
B. & H. burner with the
patent arrangement that obvi-
ates the necessity of taking off
the chimney when you light
the wick. The decorations
are elegant, and the material
holding the founts as good as
can be made. We have a
very nice assortment of Ban
quet lamps that are much
sought after by persons who
want something elegant for
the parlor or dining room.
The name doesn't signify any
thing; they give just as good

as they do in banquet hall

GALLAGHER AGAIN,
Peterson s Brutal Assailant is Again
Arrested.

Ben Gallagher, who SO brutaIly
assaulted Bert Peterson in the Ha.
waiian Hotel bar room Friday
night, was arrested Saturday morn
ing. A little after o'clock that
morning Captain Langley went to
Gallagher's room and found him
there, but with the door locked.
Langley told him who he was, and
said that he was wanted. Ben re-
fused to get up and, not having a
warrant, Langley could not break
into the house.
A little after 9 o'clock Ben came
down town and was arrested. Peter
son had sworn out warrant charg
ing him with mayhem. Cecil Brown
went on his bond for $1,000, and
Ben Immediately proceeded to
build up fearful and wonderful
Jag. During the afternoon he
wandered into the Criterion saloon
and saw Manuel Phillips standing
at the bar. Without any warn
ing he went up behind him
and struck him on the back
of the neck. Phillips turned
around, and when he saw who his
assailant was he promptly knocked
him down. He then seized heavy
mallet that was on the bar, and
was going to finish Ben up when
some of his friends interfered. He
had Ben arrested and charged
with assault and battery. He
was afterward released on de-
posting $50 bail.
Before the Australia sailed Gal
lagher went down to the wharf.
While there he went up to a re-
porter for the Bulletin and asked
him if he was on the ADVERTISER
staff. He replied that he was not,
and Ben said it was a lucky thing
for him that he wasn't, as che was
looking for the man that wrote him
up" As three of the papers
roasted" him severely, he must
be looking for three men. The
Holomua, with its view of the case.
will be safe
c.. B. Wilson and "Opium "
Brown, who were present at the
disgraceful affair, were also arrested
on Saturday, and charged with
being accessories before the fact.
Their bail was fixed at $1,000 each,
which was furnished.
Bert Peterson was out Saturday,
but was not able to appear yester-
day. He is badly bruised, and
will feel the effects of Gallagher's
brutality for many days. His ear,
from which Ben bit a piece an
inch and a quarter long, is very
sore. He will push the case against
Gallagher to its fullest extent. The
case viii come up this morning in
the District Court.

SAN Francisco. Dec. 7.-The storm
which broke over Central California to-
day was the most severe of the seaeon.
Last nigh the weather bureau an
nounced that the weather today would
be OF ths clearing kind, but it proved to
be the opposite and seemed TO storm
even harder than yesterday. Att pm.
the wind was blowing 80 miles an hour
from the southeast, thunder and light
ming added wildnese to the storm. and
for time 1t looked as if a real eastern
thunderstorm had broken ont. When ID.
server Hammond discovered this morn
ing that a new storm was about to visit
this part of the state, he issued bulle-
tins to that effect for the benefit OF the
shipping interests, and tonight some OF
the vessels that would have left the
harbor are moored safely at their

resulted from the storm. 1t 10 said that
