Special correspondence for the Associated
Press, per steamer Arawa, San Francisco,
December 2ad.
HoHoLULu, Dec. 1.-THE talk of the
town this week is the uIearthing of an
alleged Royalist conspiracy. On Saturday
evening last the police went to the house
OF John Il. Bush and arrested him and L.
G. Cricket on q charge Of conspiracy
against the government. Upon searching
the house seven rifles were found.
Soon after being lodged in jail, Joseph
Nawahi, Il native lawyer. called to see
them and was arrested on the same charge.
About midnight W. Il. Weed and Emil
klpmme were also arrested the former as
an accessory to the conspiracy, and the
latter for having arms in his possession
mlawfully.
Several houses of suspects were searched
on Sunday, but no arms found. On Mon
day night thorough search of the house
occupied by Cricket brought to light four
rifles, two pistols and 150 rounds of ann
munition, all of which were concealed
under the floor. The prisoners are con-
fined in separate cells and will be exam
ined on Monday next, bail being refused
in the meantime.
Bush had been publishing small sheet
daily in native and English i'll which he
has been scoring the present government
and assuring the natives that the Queen
would surely be restored. Cricket is an
English chemist and was implicated in the
alleged Walker-Sinclair conspiracy of q
year ago. After his arrest he applealed to
British Commissioner Hawes for protec-
ton, but was told that nothing could be
done for him.
Government officials are very reticent
about the case but claim they have
abundant evidence to convict the con-
spiratOrs.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
There have been several shocks of earth
quake on the island of Hawaii, and one
on this island during the past few days. ,
The volcano Kilau is more active than
ever and some old settlers predict an over.
flow as the result Of the earthquake.

An Interesting Case Heard Before JUS
tice Daley Last Thursday Afternoon.
William L. Budd and David J. Lindel,
two butchers of Warwick, Md. were given
hearing before Justice Daley Thursday
afternoon, charged with obtaining hogs
from Charles Derrickson and William
Boulden of st. Georges hundred, under
false pretenses. The testimony showed
that on December 3d, Budd and Lindell
bought from Derrickson 16 head of hogs
valued at SlOO and Il certain number of
hogs from Boulden worth $50. They gave
their personal checks on the Citizens
National Bank of Middletown.
Lindell took the hogs to Philadephia
and sold them to Il man named Meuley.
lie says that the latter gave him check
payable on December 9Th. Notwithstand-
ing this fact Lindell says he got the cheek
caShed two days before it was due, Decem.

and started nome. He eEtered cigar
store to purchase n plug of tobacco, and
When he went to pay for the tobacco he
discovered that he had lost his pocket
book andl its contents. lie notified his
partner, Budd. The latter notified Der
rickson and Boulder not To present their
checks at the Citizens Bank for payment
until the Thursday following the Monday
on which the hogs We're bought. When
Thursday did arrive Derriekson and Boul-
dei PIeselllel llS ClleCkS, Dut there was no
money there to meet them. They learned
further that Lindell and Budd had no
account at the bank. They afterwards
took steps to procure their money and
consulted LAWYER II. H. Ward of this city,
who began suit before Justice Daley.
II. c. Conrad appeared for the defendants
Thursday afternoon. Lindell claimed that
he got the money on the check given him
by Mealey in Philadelphia, but lost it soon
after he got it, The defendants claim that
they had no intention of defrauding the
owners OF the hogs out of their money.
Dr. j. j. Wright, one of the witnesses at
the hearing, testified that Budd came TO
him with representations that he was
raising money to pay for the hogs and DIR.
Wright gave him $50. Budd gave the
doctor his personal check in return for it,
The check was worthless.
John Armstrong testified that he also
gave the butcher $50, and received the lat
tcr's personal check. The bank refused
payment on it, saying there was no money
at hand to meet the check.
Justice Daley placed each of the de-
PENDANTS under $3.50 bail to answer the
charge at the upper court.

ASSOCIATED cHIRIrl Es.
President Daniel w. Taylor Has Some
thing to Say to the Puhlic.


In regard to the outlook for the COM
of the Associated Charities, President
Daniel w. Taylor of that useful organi-
zation says:
Our object is to raise the needy above
the need of relief, to prevent begging
and imposition, to diminish pauperism,
to prevent children from growing into
paupers, to investigate thoroughly the
case of every applicant for relief, and to
do everything that is possible for the
relief of the deserving, conditional upon
good conduct and personal effort to i'm
prove their condition.
We endeavor to do the greatest possible
good With the means at our disposal
We may make mistakes or fail to do
just what the public think should be
done. If our methods have been un-
satisfactory to any one they are invited
to come and see us and consult with us.
DO not condemn without first doing
this. If any one can suggest any better
methods than those we use we will ac.
cept such suggestions willingly and
cheerfully. Tho duty which we have
to perform is not, in all respects, q
pleasant one, and will gladly share tho
responsibility.
We are very grateful for the money
anG donations given to the society by its
friends, and We trust that such gifts may
continue, as it requires much to carry
on the work. We need the corporation
of all, and particularly those who are
willing to be friendly visitors--persons
who are willing to give their time and
thought to the consideration of applica-
tions for help which may be made at
their homes or on the streets, thus to
discover what is the best thing to be
done tor those seeking help. The home
of the applicant should be visited to see
what can be done; il case of sickness,
see that proper care is provided; to see
il children are running the streets, in
stead of attending school; to see if the
head OF the family is out Of work, and
to discover whether the trouble is TIL e
result of the use of liquor. All of these
questions are to be considered, and the
friendly visitor is the strong arm of our
association in directing change in the
condition of the needy This can and
this has been done in many cases.
Many persons hear OF distress and
don't take the trouble to investigate; or,
if they do, cannot find out the real
trouble. This can only be done by tried
and responsible visitors, whose ex-
perience can solve the problem, although
it may take constant and conscientious
work. We invite all who can to give us
of their time and become visitors for
the society. What one can do as a
visitor depends upon their wishes and
| desires.
Some feel an interest in the cid and
friendless; others have the greatest in
terest in children; some may prefer to
enlist in reforming those who drink, and
some may consider the hygienic condi-
tions of the surroundings of the most
importance. Whatever be your desires,
give us your aid, either in money or as
visitors, or in any way possible; but do
not condemn the methods without fully
investigating them. We have many i'm
posters, and to find them ont and assist
the deserving is our aim and end.

THERE rs NO sUCH OFFICER.
Bank rellers of the City and the Alleged
United states Secret Servine Oflirinl.


An individual representing himself to
be an agent of the United States Secret
Service has visited several banks in this
city within the past few days for the pur-
pose, as he said, of testing the knowledge
of the cashiers in regard to counterfeit
bank notes His plan was to enter the
bank and place two notes before the cash
ier or Il clerk and ask him ii he could dis
tinguish any difference between the bills.
One Of the notes would be counterfeit and
the other good
The receiving teller at the Security Trust
and Safe Deposit Co. was handed a So note
by II stranger Friday, who asked chanpe
for it, After carefully scrutinizing il the
teller discovered that the note was counter
felt and returned tito the man. Upon re-
ceivins the note from the teller he re-
marked that he is an officer of the gov
eminent and was simply trying to find out
whether the tellers Of the banks in this
city could tell bogus note when they
saw il. The bank people do not credit the
mans story. They think that he is a per.
son who needs watching. The govern
ment they say, has no officer detailed to
perform any such duty. Some of them
have been congratulating themselves be-
cause they were able to detect which was
a counterfeit and which was d good one.
