kauai VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
Civis Objects to Treatment of James
Makee Passengers.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The way in which
the self-constituted authorities of
Kauai treated Mr.. Y. Knudsen on his
return to that island last week, adds
another to the list of disgraceful
episodes attending the present cpl
demic. Here was the patriarch of
Kauai, over seventy years of age,
who has resided there for over forty
years, returning to his home. He
had complied with all the strict de-
mands of the national Board of
Health OF this city, which is the only
authority in health and quarantine
matters; he had been through a
tedious nine days quarantine, had
been fumigated and taken every pre-
caution demanded by the board, and
both he and the vessel permitted to
proceed to Kauai. And yet, after
landing, he was forced to return on
board, and the steamer ordered back
to Honolulu. If such treatment is
not disgrsceful, what is it, And all
this was the work of self constituted
committee, not even recognized by
the Board of Health.
This is the second or third time
that the steamer James Makee has
been compelled to return to this port
without accomplishing the object of
her trip, and with considerable loss
to her owners. The Inter-Island
Company may as well cease sending
their vessels there fer the present, as
it only entails loss. Withdraw all
the steamers for a month or two, to
give them a good overhsuling. By
the end of that period, word may be
received from Kauai that freight and
passengers will be graciously allow
ed to he landed there. CIvIs.

The Bicycle has established
itself. It is an institution.
Though it has become a neces-
sity of modern life, it has not
ceased to be a source of pleas
ure and those who ride it for
business purposes still find
their greatest enjoyment in
the saddle.
Taking it for granted that
you have decided to ride, and
naturally want the best wheel
for your money, we wish to
point out to you some of the
superior features of the
BARNES SPECIAL.
One taking and distinctive
feature of the Barnes wheel,
is the method of brazing the
frame joint. When a Bicycle
is reinforced from the outside
it resembles a sore thumb
with a rag around tan apt
but homely simile. Our joint is
not a sore thumb. The con-
nections are punched from
steel formed into pieces of
such shape that they encircle
one tube, rendering it doubly
strong and project therefrom
to form a stud at the desired
angle over which the adjoining
tube can be fitted and brazed
firmly. The steel connections
are secured on each side by
secondary pieces, and all of
them brazed as one piece serve
as a pointed reinforcement to
the second tube.
Bearings First quality tool
steel hardened and ground to
such a degree that. there is no
possibility of their becoming
worn. On such grounds as
these fair, frank and honora-
BILE, we solicit the patronage
of the bicycle riding public.
An examination will prove
that they are all we C aim for
them.

FISHING IN THE HARB0R
Native Sailors on the Re Au Hou
Arrested SATURDAY..

Shortly after 1 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, a telephone message re-
ceived at the police station an
nounced the fact that thirteen ma.
tive sailors of the Ke Au Hou,
anchored in the harbor, had been
fishing with lines from the steamer.
No sooner wss the report sent in
than posse of police under Depu-
ty Marshal Hitchcock was des-
patched to the steamer. Questions
regarding the non-observance of the
law were put to the men. 1t seems
the natural native instinct was too
much for the men to withstand.
"Haole" food was not sufficient to
satisfy them. They produced hooks

ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION
DR.. Walter Maxwell Writes Of Sugar
Making in Hawaii.

The Louisiana Planter has recent
news from Hawaii in the shape of q
letter from DR.. Walter Maxwell.
In order to become closely &C
quaited with the actual conditions of
sugar word in the field and mill, DR..
Maxwell has been spending some
time upon various plantations upon
the islands. This practical mode of
study would necessarily rapidly fam
iliarize him with various and numer-
GUS conditions which surround the
work of sugar making in Hawaii. In
speaking of the advantage of irriga-
ton, DR.. Maxwell says that there we
touch the key note of the situation
in Hawaii. In most sugar countries
it may be said the area of available
land determines the acreage that can
be devoted to sugar production. In
Hawaii the weather ordinarily is the
determining factor. Upon several
of the islands the rainfall over the
actual sugar areas is quite insight
fcapt, and where the rainfall upon
the mountains or the water content
within the ground can not be applied
to those areas, production stands
still. DR.. Maxwell, is beginning a
careful study on the whole question
of water and its economical distribu-
ton over the available areas of the
several islands. He seems much i'm
pressed by the magnificent efforts
that have been made by the planters
in water utilization by which they
have gathered together the vast
moisture dropped from the clouds
upon the great attitudes and let it
down for distribution over the levels
bordering upon the sea. There is
something gigantic in what has al
ready been done. Bound up with
the question of water supply is the
eminently important one of foresta
ton.
In Hawaii, DIR. Maxwell has found
molasses being used as food for cat
tie and mules, it being mixed with
cane tops and leaves. 1t is used also
as fertilizer in some cases, being
dissolved in irrigating bitches and
being distributed by the water; in
others as a compost being mixed
with stable manure, mud press cakes,
bagasse, etc. As fertilizer it is Civ
ing in all cases the results to be ex-
pected.
DR.. Maxwell seems to look with
much retrospective pleasure to his
sojourn in Louisiana, and is also
earnestly engaged and profoundly
interested in his new work in Hawaii.

lege before he was twenty-five years
of age, and was afterwards the
celebrated superintendent of the
Coast Survey. Mr.. Twins father
was once mayor of Pittsburgh, Pa,
a member of Congress and Minis
ter to Denmark. His mother was
connected by. marriage with Robert
J. Walker, Secretary of the Treas
ury under President Polk.
Mr.. Irwin was brought up in the
mercantile business, and became a
resident of Japan in 1867 in
the service of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company. He was ap-
pointed acting Consul General for
Hawaii in 1879, and in 1881 was
appointed Charge d'Affairs. In
1885 he was made Minister Resi-
dent. He has been engaged in
many large business matters in
Japan and has large and infuen-
tial acquaintance with the leaders
of the japanese government. He
speaks the vernacular language
f1uently, and is married to Jap
anese lady of high social rank.
Through his efforts japanese immi-
grafton to these islands was COM
menced, and the price of labor on
the sugar plantations was quickly
reduced from high and ruinous
rates to the present prices. He
has ceased to have any connection
with the labor supply, but has
strongly urged that great care
should be taken in selecting the
laborers, if future immigration is
needed.
HAWAIIAN CONSUL HOWARD.
B. C. Howard, recently appoint
ed Hawaiian Consul at Yokohama,
is from Boston and was connected
with Mr.. Webb's Australian line
via Honolulu from its start to the
finish. After this he became con-
nected with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, and was for
some time purser on that line until
December, 1885.
He then joined the agency of
the Pacific Mail and the Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship
companies at Yokohama, and has
resided there since that time. He
is now in charge of the business of
those lines. Mr.. Howard is a
nephew of James Jackson Jarvis,
who, for several years, edited the
Polynesian in this city, and the
author of history of the Hawai-
ian Islands.
He is regarded in Japan as an
excellent business man and cap
ital manager of the steamship COM
panies. The merchants of Yoko-
hama congratulate him on his ap-
pointment.

PAUPERS LIVE HIGH.
Wards of the City Feast on Dainty
Salmon Confiscated by Fish
TnsnectOrs.


At intervals during the past few weeks,
the tables at the Almshouse and other
City institutions have been laden with
fresh salmon, dainty which the most in
fuential citizen of the City could not pur-
chase. The reason is that it is now the
"close season" for that fish. During Sep
TENDER and October it is a crime to catch
salmon or have them in ones possession.
The inspectors of the Fish Com missioners
seize all they find and prosecute the
owners.
Not wishing to have the good fish they
have seized spoil, the Commissioners have
sent them to the Almshouse, the orphan
asylums and other charitable institutions.
In this way several thousand pounds of
fish have been distributed. On one day
400 pounds were seized. The INSPECTOR
kept only enough in each case to use as
evidence against those shipping the con-
traband fish.
The fish are shipped by the fishermen
along the river. Already A. Gordon,
wharfinger at Bouldin Island, has been ar
rested. His trial will come off on October
2. Chris Cristiansen, whartinger at Jersey
Landing, and H. Hansen, wharfinger at
Bouldin Island, will also be prosecuted for
shipping salmon. Evidence is now beng
gathered to incriminate those from whom
the wharfingers got the fish. AS the Off
GERS of the steam boats carrying the fish
have all been subpenaed as witnesses the
steamb boat companies have issued strict
orders that all packages of fish are to be
carefully examined and no salmon taken
as freight. AS a consequence no seizures
have been made since Sunday.

are relying on California to provide every

ceased.
The will was dated July 7, 1892, and gave
the contestant 500, while the residue of
the estate, said to be worth $50, 900, was
left to decedant's two sisters-Susan A.
Goodman and Molly Gray.
The contestant resides in Cambridge,
Mass, while the other heirs live at Paw
tucket, r. |. Charles Carroll and j. J.
Harrigan are executors of the will, which
is now before the Probate Court
The papers filed yesterday allege that
there is nothing to show that the docu-
ment filed for probate is the last will of the
deceased, or that it is will at all; that
deceased had not declared the document
to be his will. and that it was not properly
attested by witnesses; that deceased was
incompetent to make a will at the time
the document produced purported to be
dated, and that he was not free from
duress, menace, fraud or undue influence.
NJ. c. Hassett is attorney for the plaintiff,
and asks on behalf of his client that the
will filed for probate be declared null and
void, and that the contestant be given the
share of the estate which would have fallen
to him had his brother died intestate.

WANTS NEW APPRAISERS,
A Creditor of the Terry Estate Claims
an Injustice Has been Done
Him.

Thomas ]. Ryan has applied to the pro-
bate Court to have new appraisers ap-
pointed in the estate of Sarah A. Terry of
Sharon case fame, who is now fan inmate
of an insane asylum. His petition recites
that in 1892 after r. Porter Ashe had been
appointed as the guardian of Mrs. Terry,
the then appraisers of the property, e. NJ
Garrett. A. Casserly and H. Ankle, found
the estate to be worth $6951 Is, of which
$1613 Is consisted of personal property in
San Francisco. Later it says that Thomas
II. Williams Jr. was substituted for Mr..
Ashe as guardian and G. Lambert, John
w. Terris and George Goettinger as ap-
praisers in place of those previously APP
pointed. These latter appraisers went
over the estate again and reduced the
estimate on the San Francisco property to
$3.50.
Mr.. Ryan, who admits that he is
creditor of the estate to the extent of $3.50,
says that this sum does not represent the
value of the goods, and that il the order
that the goods be sold at auction under
that estimate be carried into effect, he will
be greatly damaged, and will not be able
to recover his money. He asks that the
order be set aside and that new appraisers
be appointed by the court to find the true
value of the property.

STILL AFTER Mr., SUTR0,
The Manufacturers ASSoCia-
ton Again Claims That He
Is in Error.
Reply to That Body's Com
munication.

1t appears that the Manufacturers and
Producers Association is not yet done
with the Eastern made boiler, recently
purchased by the Sutro Electric Railway
Company. From its point of view boiler
of equal strength and durability could
have been purchased here in San Fran
cisco.
A letter on the subject has been ad-
dressed to Secretary Little by the associa-
ton. While no direct reference is made in
this letter 10 a possible attempt on the
part of the Manufacturers Association to
compel the Sutro Company to counter
mand the Eastern order, Secretary Little
thinks the request is just that and nothing
more. In the following letter he defends
the Eastern purchase, and also takes occa-
sion to refer in a vigorous way to the ex-
listing scent fare from the bay to the
beach:
SAN FRANCISCO, September 25, 1895
Fred H. Dingle, Assistant Secretary Manufac-
tlHers' and Producers Association, Mills Build
ina, San FrGnciscO-DEAR SIR: | have the honor
to acknowledge receipt OF your communication
of 23d inst. yesterday zone day after publica-
ton in the papers,.
In reply I beg again to differ with you in
your statements concerning purchases made
by the Sutro Railroad Company.
AS TO the subject-matter OF your letter the
purchase OF Eastern made boilers covered by
patents, said boilers are no more an Eastern
made boiler than many others so-called Cali
fornia-made boilers.
/ also deny the truth of your assertion that
there are boilers made here superior or equal
TO the kind purchased by this company. Boil
ers Of somewhat similar style, of cheaper and
less desirable construction, claimed to be OF
San Francisco manufacture, are made almost
wholly at the East l fail to discover any
grounds for your complaint.
To your statement that this company twill
naturally look for its revenue to large extent
to the working people of this city" | have to
say that in view OF the fact that this company
has distributed among the laboring classes of
this City nearly quarter of million dollars,
and that Mr.. Sutro distributes monthly TO the
same class from $4,000 TO $4,000, and that
through the efforts of Mr.. Sutro and the build
ing of the Sutro Railroad the fare from bay to
ocean has been reduced to cents, l am in
clined to believe your assumption is a correct
one.
that your association will not readily give ear
to the complaints OF disappointed and dis
gruntled contractors, which in this instance
seems to be the groundwork for your charges,
but will be governed solely by the desire to ad-
vance California industries and to foster just
such enterprises as the Sutro Railroad. Very
respectfully yours, w. c. LITTLE, Secretary.
In speaking of the matter Colonel Little
said yesterday: $50 far as possible we
have used California material in the con-
struction of the road and in every practical
way have lived up to the letter and spirit
of the conditions imposed in the fran
chise'
