The Gentlemen who May Attend the
Minister UnCommissioncd.
In Saturdays STAR it was stated
that Minister Thurston whuld be ac-
companed on his mission to Landon
and Portugal by Colonel z. S. Spauld-
ing of Kauai and Mr.. Alexander of
Oakland. The gentleman leaving the
information at this office is a Govern
ment official and 1t was presumed that
he knew what he was talking about;
but Investigations have proved that he
was, at least in some measure, mis-
taken.
Mr.. Spaulding will doubtless accom-
pany Minister Thurston to london
and there assist him in his work, but
not in the capacity of commissioned
officer of this Government. AS for Mr..
Alexander, Mr.. Thurston may ask
him to go to Europe with him, but
further than this nothing is certain
about his going. He is not sent by this
Government, aud the probabilities are
that he will not go.
At least Mr.. Davies, OF the other two
gentlemen, has not commission from
the Government. 1t is understood that
he will meet the Minister in London,
but merely to confer upon the subject OF
labor. As the matter really stands,
therefore, all or none of the gentlemen
may confer in Lonhon, but even il they
do it will be without commissions from
the Hawaiian Government. Mr.. Thurs.

THE PUMPING PLANT.



The contract for valves and pig lead
for the new pumping plant, embraced
in division L of the list, has been let
The successful bidders are Messrs
Holbrook. Merrill & Stetson of San
Francisco.
Their prices are for material f. o. b.
the wharf at HONOLULU, and are as
follows:
Twelve-inch valves, $50 so each !;
eight.inch valves, $2G each; six.inch
valves, S1S each. Pig lead 3ls cents
per pound.
The total bill for the material required
in this connection amounts to 1864 SO.
Order for the same will go forward by
the mail Thursday 1t will be observed
that division T. of the advertisement for
bids has thus been divided between two
parties.
With regard to the remainder OF the
plant, nothing OF interest has yet been
done. Mr.. Rowell has been quite busy
figuring upon the plant and boiler, but
has as yet reached no conclusion.
The probabilities are that it will be sew
eral days before the remainder of the
contracts are let.

SHOT DOWN LIKE DOGS.
HELPLESS NEGROES MURDERED BY
A MOB.
The Tragedy of swamp The Six
Manacled Prisoners Killed Were
Accused of Arson.

MEMPHIS. (Tenn.), September six
negroes, alleged members of gang of
incendiaries, were lynched by a mob
near Millington, Tenn, small town on
the Chesapeake and Ohio Southwestern
Railroad, thirty miles north of Memphis,
last night
The prisoners were in charge of De-
tectives w. S. Richardson and A. 7.
Atkinson, who arrested them few
hours before on charge of arson. The
negroes were all handcuffed and shac-
killed., and were on their way to the
County Jail at Memphis
When the officers reached n dense
swamp a few miles from Millington,
they were surrounded by mob of fifty
men armed with Winchesters rifles and
shotguns and commanded to halt. Hold
up your hands," yelled the leader. The
detectives hesitated.
"What does this mean ?" said one of
them.
"Never you mind; it means business.
Shove up your hands,
BY this time the detectives were over
powered by the mob. When the mob
surrounded the wagon the negroes
seemed to know instinctively what was
going to happen. They were sitting on
boxes that had been thrown about on
the floor of the. wagon.
One sat on the seat by driver Atkin-
son. One negro in the bottom of the
wagon rose up and showed his shackled
hands. That motion was his last, for a
shower OF bullets was poured into his
body. He fell over and out of the
wagon into the road dead. The negro
sitting beside the driver threw his arm
about Atkinson with an exclamation
and gesture of supplication. The
muzzle OF gun was showed against his
stomach and the charge was sent
through his body. Detective Atkinson
was grasped by several of the mob, was
hustled up to the side of Richardson,
and there held until the murderous
work was over.
Vollcy after volley was poured into
the bodies of the shackled and manacled
negroes in the wagon until all OF them
were dead. Then the mob took the
bodies out of the wagon, threw them
into the road and continued to fire into
them.
Richardson and Atkinson say there
fifty people in the mob, and that some
of them were not disguised, while
others had their heads incased in
dark cloth, but it was so dark 1t would
not have been possible to recognize
any one, even had the officers been well
acquainted with the people in that part
of the country. Having concluded its
work the leader of the mob shouted,
Forward boys !" Guns were shouldered
and the members of the mob walked
back into the woods that lined the road
and disappeared.
The lynched negroes were all accused
of arson, and all are said to have be-
longed to an organized band of barn
burners that have in five years de-
stroyed thirty-two barns, as many resi-
dences, and other property of great
value in the vicinity of Kerriville,
Lucy, Millington and Bottoms College,
in this State.

FEATIIERSTONE ATLARGE.
ESCAPES FROM GANG or CoNvICIs
AT KALIHI
Tracked Several Miles West - In a
Canoe for Sea 90 Returns
Quite Chase.

AS stated in Mondays STAR Arthur
Featherstone, the man who assaulted
his wife with knife several weeks ago,
AFFORD which he is now ser, ing term of
nine months on the reef, escaped from a
prison luna Monday morning.
The luna in question had Il gang of
prisoners, among whom was Feather
stone, working on the road at Kalihi.
Featherstone had earned for himself the
reputation of being trustworthy, and it
was not deemed necessary to watch
him with extraordinary care.
While at work, however, Feather
stone suddenly dropped out of sight.
A search resulted in his being tracked
several miles toward Pearl City. Dur
ing the search the police were informed
by natives that Featherstone had put off
in boat, but being unable t. get out to
sea had returned to shore.
The police throl ghout the island
we're notified and have been on the
alert for the wife slasher since the
ESCAPE N'hudN ul'IHlnS'
Some people thought that Feather
stone would attempt to see his wife last
night. To guard against such police
man kept close watch on the premises
occupied by the little woman, but moth
ing was seen of the wande er.
Up to the hour OF going to press moth
ing has been seen or heard OF Feather
stone. The idea has been advanced
that he possibly committed suicide by
drowning after failing to carry out what
soever plans lac may have had to escape.
1t is said that he attempted to or did
land in dangerous place at which sui
eide could tie accomplished with ease.
The statement made by the police
that Mrs. Featherstone had gone in hid
ing, fearing her husbands return is incor-
rect. The wife heard of Featherstone's
escape soon after it occurred, but
she went out with her next friend,
Miss Oliver, and returned home about
10 o'clock.
During to-day she has been busy
sewing. Once in while she has been
reported as expressing fear that des-
peration had driven her husband to
commit suicide by drowning. Indeed.
singular as it may seem, she has
eagerly listened to arguments contrary
to this view of the case; and is des-
posed to sympathize and pity the
worthless man she has called her hus.
band rather than condemn.
She is prone to the apprehension
that she may, in some way, have been
instrumental in dethroning her hus-
bands better judgment, and lives in
dread OF any act he may commit through
desperation, either fancied or real. She
has often been heard to say that il he
kills himself or should die, she would
feel partly to blame for it. Evidently
she possesses wonderful amount OF
conscientiousness.

THAT TROUBLESOME RILL.
A Strict Compliance with Section Five
Not Required.


Not Required.
WASHINGTON, September LIN reply
to correspondent at New York, calling
attention to the impracticability of
ments of section five of the new tariff
act providing that invoices must state
quantities exactly, Secretary Carlisle
has written letter in which he says:
1.-The department recognizes the cor
rectness of your contention in the mat
ter and admits the impractcability of
such a mathematical ascertainment of
the quantity, weight or measurement
of every imported article as would re.
suit from the actual measurement of
every spool of cotton or the gauging of
every bottle of wine.
"In view of this condition, it is held
that the law is complied with when the
packages which contain such articles as
are usually marked, stamped, branded
or labeled duly indicates the quantity of
their contents. Such packages must,
accordingly, show the number of pieces
or articles contained, respectively there
in.
"Ths ruling does not change the in
structions heretofore issued regarding
the marking of goods so as to indicate
the country or origin, but refers solely
to the provisions in section five respect
ing quantity"

sCHUTZEN CLUB CHANGES.


Captain Kiemme Goes Down Under the
Conservatives.
p The Schutzen Club held an important
business meeting Monday night. The
question of the coalition with the
American League was brought up and f,
after considerable discussion, was en-
dorsed almost unanimously. President
Carl Klemme was openly opposed to
having any connection whatsoever with
the American League, and, in conse-
quence, when the Club went back upon
his opinions, he resigned the position of
president, retaining his membership in
thief Club. Gus Cordes, patrolman
then rendered his resignation as mem
Der of the Club. The meeting was en-
tirely satisfactory to the large member
ship present and it is thought business
will hereafter run with less friction.

sPECULATED IN SUGAR.


In New York
NEW YORK, September 1.--Unsuccess-
full speculation in sugar by junior
partner was the cause of the failure of
the large knitting manufacture house of
Theodore s. Baron & Co. and of Theo-
dore s. Baron of this city. The confess
sion was made to a meeting of the
firms creditors to-day by the elder Bar
on, who places his loss at $1,100, This
year Theodore S. Baron & Co. did a
prosperous business and when an assign
ment was made last month it was a
surprise to the trade. Counsel for the
firm said to-day that the assets
were S122, 132.49; preferences, S41 900;
liabilities, $ls5,00O.
The firm has hoped to pay 3sia per
cent on the dollar, but instead submit.
ted proposition for % cents on the
dollar. This basis of settlement did not
meet with the approval of the creditors.
The creditors, examining the statement
sheet, noticed an unexplained deficit OF
81, 100, and asked for an explanation.
Theodore S. Baron was visibly agi-
tated and his face flushed as he said:
Gentlemen, took that $7l00 to pay
my father, who is the manager of the
company / drew il out in two checks,
one for $1,000 and the other for $1,000.
! specialized in Wall street and lest
every cent"
"And what did you speculate in,
pray? demanded creditor.
Sugar" answered Mr. Baron.
"And you drew out the money unbe-
knowing to your partner? l demand
that this story be investigated Let US
have his bank book and brokers'
accounts"
Counsel insisted that the young man
was telling the truth. Subsequently the
creditors agreed to compromise at
331s per cent. the money to be paid in
three installments.

in the reported deal with the the Schut-

of the League executive committee.
1t was reported from the conference
committee that close union with the
rival organization at present was deemed
inexpedient. The committee added
that there might arise occasions any
time when concerted action with the
Schutzens would be good policy. After
an interesting discussion the report was
adopted. Applause followed the action.
The Leagues executive committee re-
port was of private nature, Con-

THE FLOOD IN TENAS.
First Reports of the Damage Were Some
what Exaggerated.

UvALDE (Tex) Sept. 1.-The high
water has almost entirely receded and
the full effects of the destruction are
made plain. There has been no further
report of the loss of life and the damage
is somewhat lessened.
A call for aid wired to San Antonio
met with ready response, and word
was soon received from there that 800
was on hand and additional collections
would he added thereto, and informing
the Uvalde committee to draw on the
fund.
The Southern Pacific has large num-
Der of people at work, and it is almost
certain that repairs will be completed SO
as to allow the resumption of traffic by
Sunday noon. News of high water from
other localities have been received, but
is now thought that the number of lives
lost will not exceed the reports of last
night.
