Mr.. EDITOR: We annexationists
outside of Honolulu have been
watching with great interest the
doings of our parent body in Homo
lulu, and their actions as evidenced
by their resolutions have been gen.
orally discussed and in a measure
endorsed. You in Honolulu to a
great extent have to bear the heat
and burden of the day, and the
men who spontaneously flew to
arms, or were ready to do so when
the critical moment arrived, are
certainly deserving Of great consid-
Grafton, for when a man offers to
risk his life if necessary for the
support of a government, he has
certainly made the supreme sacri-
fee, and no one can ask for more.
We here are thoroughly with you
in answering loyalty to the Gov
eminent, and are willing to sacri-
fee much, our lives if necessary, to
maintain all that has been gained.
We also thoroughly agree with you
as TO the necessity of having only
loyal and trustworthy officials. We
further agree upon the advisability
of securing a nearer approach to
representative government by al
lowing the supporters Of the Gov
eminent to be consulted in future
changes in the personnel of the Gov
eminent, but we respectfully cal
the attention of the Government
and of the annexationists in Homo
lulu to the fact that they comprise
only 80 per cent. of the annexation
party in the islands, and would put
forward our claim to equal recogni-
ton and consultation, and would
suggest that the candidature Of
councilmen be submitted to the
endorsement of all the Annexation
Clubs, thus securing a 4ruly re-
preventative expression from the
supporters of the Government as a
whole. w. E.

THE COLORED MURDERESS.
Vina Kings Case Comes Up In the
District Court.

Mr.. Vins King, the 'darky lady"
who assaulted George Washington
her paramour with a picka1e on
New Years Day: was brought up
for trial Friday.
DR.. Wood, being sworn, stated
that he had examined Washing
toms wound on January l. He
could not find that there was any
injury to the brain. The blood
from the mouth and nose the doc
tor believed must have come from
intenal injury. There was no wound
in the throat or nose.
George Washington, sworn, stated
that he was acquainted with defend
ant, and they were living together
on Queen street, on January LIST.
Powell, Lancaster and two others
were in the house. Beer was opened
and all seemed to be enjoying
themselves. Powell had a CONVEX
sation with defendant which ang-
cred Washington and he slapped
her once. He went to sleep and
when he awoke he saw a pickaxe
on the floor with blood on it. He
got up and called for help. He was
taken to the hospital. Before this,
the defendant came with doctor
and asked him how he felt. Being
very weak from loss of blood he
did not answer her. During New
Years Day Mrs. King had his re-
volver. While talking to her he
heard the hammer click SO he took
the pistol away from her. He was
not jealous of Powell, but he did
not like the way he talked to de-
PENDANT.
Marshal E. G. Hitchcock, sworn,
stated that defendant was brought
into his Office on January LIST. He
took down her statements and told
her that they would be used in
court.
Deputy-Marshal Brown, being
sworn, made statement similar to
that of the Marshal. He said that
when Mrs. King made her state
ment to him, she was perfectly cool
and collected.
Prosecution rests.
At the afternoon session the de-
Tense presented its case. The King
woman was held to the February
term of the Circuit Court, and
ordered to the prison for the mean
while.

WANTED SOME BITTERS.
But the Clerk had to Explain the
Matter.

The Kaiulani bitters have been
talked of a great deal during the
last few days, and a funny incident
in connection with them came to
light Friday. Naturally, this
incident has not been talked
of to any large extent, but it has
leaked out, and is positively true.
A lady, not resident of the
islands, who wished to take a few
specimens Of the more unique fea-
lures of island life back to the
States with her, has been a con-
slant reader of the ADVERTISER
since she has been in Honolulu,
and of course she read the article
in the paper about the now famous
"panacea." Not being very well
posted in regard to politics, or else
glancing only at the headlines, she
looked on the matter as an adver-
tisement, and thought that a pat
ent medicine manufactured so far
away from home would be a curl
osity.
She called at that vast emporium
on Kaahumanu street during the
day and asked clerk for " a bottle
of that medieine-you know, the
one with the Hawaiian name" Not
realizing that anyone could pos
sibly mean the bitters, the polite
attendant did not faint; but when
the lady at last remembered the
name and asked for the " Princess
Kaiulani Bitters," Mr.. Davies I'M
derling nearly swooned. He pre-
served enough presence Of mind,
however, to explain that the bitters
were not put up in bottles.

The following letter from Mr..
J. K. Iosepa is convincing docu-
ment. and complete refutation Of
the ex-queen's charges against
him.
EDITOR OF THE P. c. ADVERTISER
DEAR SIR have seen in your
paper, the statement by the queen
of her reasons for promulgating a
new constitution and she has pub
lished my name as one of those
who advised her to proclaim a new
constitution. To this false testi-
monv of the untruthful queen, l
now oppose the truth. Not all the
legions of Satan's pit can prove IN
behalf of the queen that }. h.
Iosepa, representative OF Hama dis
trict. ever went and advised this
untruthful queen TO proclaim
new constitution. Neither can the
drums of that queens two ears
testify to a single word that J. X.
Iosepa ever whispered in her ears.
There is the most positive proof
of my opposition to the constitution
which the Queen secretly prepared
with her circle, and of which l
never heard from the Queen that
she designed to make a new con-
stitution. 1t is this In the
Legislative assembly | made
strong speech on the side against
the Bill to call a convention Of
delegates to make a new constitu-
ton, and my speech is recorded in
the book of minutes of the Legisla-
tive session of A. D. 1892, and was
also published in all the news
papers. Like dragon-iy beating
against a window-pane, the Queen
is striking wildly to obtain some
credit for her testimony and to
gain some advantage for her side.
/ therefore make this public state
ment that all may understand this
doing of this untruthful Queen.

Mr.. EDITOR: Your subscribers
in this vicinity have been much
surprised by reading in your latest
issues, under the head of Hama
kua Notes." reports of copious
rains, and feel some curiosity in
knowing just where these rains
have fallen.
While the westerly end of the
district may have had an abundant
supply of rain for the present Ia
fact which we question:, We can
assure you that the contrary is the
case at the North Hilo end. In fact
we were at no time in such urgent
need of heavy rains as the present.
Last month the rainfall was $50
inches; to date, this month, it has
been little or nothing. While this
has been sufficient to keep the
young cane green and growing, it
falls short of meeting plantation
requirements. We know of one
plantation where the drought has
caused the grinding to be sus-
pended for want of water, and
where every superfuous animal
has been sent to the mountains for
the same reason. Even the animals
remaining have to be driven from
two to three miles daily to water
holes ia the gulches, and unless We
have heavy rains in the near fu-
ture, this limited supply will be
pau. Added to this we have the
questionable pleasure Of seeing it
raining heavily almost daily on

The new jail is a'creditable structure md NSecure structure. but it's security

The new jail is icreditable structure and asecure structure, but it's security should-and finally must-be enhanced by the construction of a high, strong wall around three sides of it. As it now stands, there is constantly crowd of people around the building, and all the sheriff's efforts to keep them away has proved unavailing. It would be the easiest matter imaginable for any pris- oner's friend to pass an implement to him and thus enable him to make his way out. A weapon could be as readi- ly introduced, thus endangering the officers lives at the hands of any des- perate inmate. As matter of protec- tion to the jail and It's guardians, this wall should be constructed at the earli- est possible moment. There is not a particle of economy in delaying the work, and early action may save the life of an officer, or, at least, large dam- age to the building.

JAIL DELIVERY.
The New County Prison Gives Up It's First Installment of Inmates

At 9:45 this morning the town was startled by report that the prisoners confined in the new county jail had es- capped. A TINES reporter hurried to the scene and the report was quickly confirmed. A gaping hole, some two feet long by eighteen inches wide was found in the wall, and eight of the twelve prisoners were scudding across country in a southeasterly direction. They had been.gone about ten minutes when the reporter arrived.
 Their names are: Johu Miio, Jack Melee aad Al. Blankenship, white; and Chas Owens, John Swearingum, Jim Vickers, Booker Vickers and John Jones, oolored.
 Those who remained behind were: J. F. Wilson and Ben Dueansinger. white, and Jim Guest and Green Lindsey, cOlored. the latter being confined in a cell, charged with murder.
 1t is customary to turn the prisoners, except those charged with capital of lenses, out of the cells every morning for exercise in the jail room, and thus it was made possible to accomplish the escape so easily and quickly. The i'm plements with which the work was ac- complished were the damper from the stove and an iron rod from 8 bed, and so quietly and quickly was the work done that the attention of carpenter and a painter, who were working in the residence part of the jail. was not at tracted, and it was left to one of the prisoners who refused to go, to go up town and give the alarm.
 Sheriff Williams was absent on tax collecting tour, and the keys of the jail wei 6 in the posse ssion of a deputy, but blame can attach to no one. as all care was used to prevent escapes. Officers are in pursuit.

Taylor Rifles.

X called meeting of the Taylor Rifles was held at the courthouse Tuesday night for the purpose of organization At the meeting on Friday night of last week Janes FusGell was elected captain and John Gatiing first lieutenant, but, for business reasons, both these gentle men were compelled to decline the offices. Mir. ,Gatling was absent, but Mir. Russell. in a neat little speech, thanked the company for tue honor rendered him and explained his reasons for declining. He made some practical suggestions concerning the present and future actions of the company.
 The election to fill the vacancies re- suited in tile selection of Jesse II. Da- wis as captain and JOhu T. Brady as first lieutenant. Both these young gen tlemen will. in our opinion, fill their respective offices with credit to tl'em- selves and entire satisfaction to the company. They are intelligent, ener- getic, capable and enthusiastic. And the same may be said of all the officers and members of the company. The phy- siuue of the company is all that could be desired. A finer looking body of young men it would be difficult to find in any locality. They are fired with a commendable ambition to excel, and when the state encampment IS held next summer we have no fear that For rest City will have cause to be ashamed of her soldier boys.
 The following is the roll of officers: Jesse II. Davis, captain; John T. Bra dy. first lieuteuant; J. G. Boyle, second lieutenant: J. w. Dennis, ir., orderly sergeant; T. c. Folbre, jr., second ser qeant: J. A. Mason, chaplain; w. J. Matthews, surgeon.
 Severa! honorary members were en. rolled Speeches were made by several of the older citizens and some good ad- vice given the young men. Hon. o. B. Rollwage encouraged them, stating that while he could not become an active member because of wound received several years ago, yet. if the boys saw proper to place hls name upon the honorary roll, everything ne could do would be done for the advance ment of the interests and well-Delng of the Taylor Rifles. and his purse would be .ound at their.service when funds were needed.
 Col. V. B. Izard, while he could not accent honorary membership under the circumstances. said he was at the ser vice of the company whenever they needed him.
 Others spoke in the same strain' ana the meeting developed considerable enthusiasm.
 A letter from Capt. w. Ii. Samples. of the United States army, Tn charge or the Arkansas State troops. was read " the secretary. It notified the company of it's probable assignment to the hrst regiment of the State Guards, gave some timely advice concerning orgahi- zation, etc. and congratulated the members of the company upon their present and future prospects.
 There will be a business meeting TO-
