ABSOLUTELY PURE
A THIEF Is CAPTURED.
WAS A NATIVE AND NOT A CHINESE,
AS REPORTED.
An Old Onender-Is Identifed-Tbe Clever
Work of Detective David
Kappa.

On Tuesday afternoon the room
Of Andrew Cahill in Fowler's yard
was entered and S4o.25 were taken
from pocketbook. The raid was
not reported to the police, but yes
terday morning Detective KAPPA
undertook to catch the thief. He
first got description from Cahill,
then went to work. He secured
information that Halulu, a jailbird,
who was only released on July
ed, had been flush OH Tuesday af-
ternoon and had treated his friends
right royalty. 1t was learned that
Halulu invited two male friends
and some women to his room in a
lodging house aud there they had
liquor galore. The landlady had
threatened TO put Halulu out as he
had not settled for some time. Ha-
lulu pulled out a handful of money
and paid the women back rent and
one week in advance. During
Tuesday evening Halulu handed
two ten dollar gold pieces 10 an
other young fellow to keep for
him. Yesterday morning Halulu
suspected that he was being
watched and cleared out.
He could not, however, escape the
eagle eyes of Detective KAPPA. Ha-
lulu was caught at Palama at $50
O'Clock yesterday evening.
The man was taken before Cahill
for identification. Cahill recognized
him right away and said that he
was the man who stole the money.
A suit of clothes was also identified
by Cahill as the one worn when the
scuffle took place between them
There was big rent above the right
hand pocket of the coat, which was
made when Halulu was trying to
get away. The thief looks much
like a Chinanan and at one time
was so reported.
Halulu has served on the reef
three times, the last occasion a
year for larceny.

One of my authorities was once en-
gagged by both sides in law case A
company, which / will call the City
Lands Improvement company, wanted to
abolish certain court leading from
Lombard street to King William street
and were willing to establish in its stead
n passage through one of their own
buildings. The company's plea was that
the court was dingy, not to say dirty,
one, and, furthermore, that it was haunt
ed by loafcrs Of questionable character.
Counsel for the other side, representing
merchants having offices in the court,
stoutly maintained that the passage was
well lighted and eminently respectable
Photographs were handed in from both
sides The first photo showed narrow,
disreputable looking alley, strewn with
rubbish and fallen boarding. The other
picture, however, showed the court in
dispute to be fairly broad, well lighted

chants of thriving appearance. These
photographs were taken for the house Of
lords committee, but the matter was
amicably settled

MARSHALL OUT CALLING.
AFTER DARK ESCAPADE OF THE
sruK KID" REyoLurIoNIsT.
Visits Says II Was Prank In
Prison Again.

About 9 O'Clock last evening,
Louis Marshall, one. of the sick
political prisoners just pardoned,
induced Mrs. Hansen, a nurse at
the Queens Hospital to call Jim
Brown with his hack, by telephone.
Brown soon came and waited at a
side gate.
Young Marshall left his room in
one direction and the nurse made
exit from the building in another.
The pair were soon in the hack
and Brown was directed to drive
to Independence Park pavilion,
where the Leilani Boat Club dance
was in progress.
The brother of young Marshall
and Eddie Stiles were called from
the ball room and there was a CON
versation of some minutes on ordi-
nary topics. The "kid" revolu-
ZIONIST then made a call, with the
cab, on family living well out on
King street, toward Waikiki. This
was Of brief duration. Brown was
then directed to return to the hos
pital.
Searchers, including the thor
oughly frightened guard and the
very much alarmed head nurse, re-
ceived Marshall and Mrs. Hansen
as they alighted from the hack.
Marshall has been returned to the
reef. He says the escapade was
only "for fun" that he thought
there would be no harm in it. The
nurse has been discharged. Brown
may have his license as hackman
taken from him. Marshall, as well
as Greig, had been told by Marshal
Brown that he would have ample
opportunity to attend to all business
affairs and see friends before leaving
the country. He will now have
very little indulgence until taken
to the steamer. Greig is still i'll the
hospital.

Records Which Show That 10 Antedatra
fuiton's Product by Twenty-Five Years.
The records Of jefferson county, W.
Va, prove what is not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man TO build steamboat in this coun.
try. He was anticipated over 90 years
by James Rumsey Of Charleston, Va.
now West Virginia. Rumsey's steam
boat was partly constructed in Frederick
county, Nd, in 1855. 1t was fitted up
with machinery partly manufactured at
a furnace called THE Cococtin Fur
mace, " owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town Of Frederick.
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc, were built in Baltimore.
Part Of the work was done at the old
Antietam Iron works Rumsey's boat
was so feet in length, and it was pro-
PEELED by an engine which worked a
vertical pump placed in the center Of the
vessel The water was drawn in at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
a horizontal pipe The entire weight Of
the machinery was 665 pounds, and
the tonnage of the vessel was three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, etc, took up space Of very lit
tie over 4 feet square
The first public experiment took place
on the Potomac river on March IA, 1855,
when the boat showed a speed Of four
miles an hour up stream. The records Of
jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son of Maryland were among the pat
rons Of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made in the interest Of the then

Minister King reported that the

The committee on accounts, by
Senator Schmidt, reported on f.
Godfrey's claim for $40, cut from a
bill of his by the printing commit
tee. The accounts committe re.
commended that Godfrey be given
the benefit of the doubt and the
$40, as there had been no agree
ment IN advance.
Senator Warehouse moved adop-
ton of the report.
Senator McCandless moved it be
rejected. He said it was clearly
unreasonable and exhorbitant and
that no committeeman would allow
the charge in his private business.
Government money should not be
squandered. All the Godfrey
charges were outrageous.
Senator Hooking said the charge
was high but he thought the bill
should be allowed.
The $40 was voted to Col. God
frey, also money for ice, small
claim for engrossing and $50 for
janitor.

Senator Brown moved to adjourn
sine die.
Minister Hatch said the Senate
was to be congratulated upon the
conclusion of its labors. The ex-
ecutive wished to express its APP
probation Of the manner in which
measures from the Cabinet had
been received. The chief justifca-
ton for calling the special session
was the land act, and he be-
lieved the wisdom of this had
been shown. Time had been
saved and useful law provided.
There was now sent to the
Clerks desk the resignation of
Chas. Motley, Senator from Hilo,
Oh account of i'll health. This will
be forwarded to the Minister of
Interior.

This British steamer Manitoba,
which arrived in New York from
London on July 2eth, reports tav-
ing sighted on July goth the Gu
nard line Aurania with her ma
chinery disabled. She signalled
that all on board were we'll and no
assistance was required. The
Aurania sailed from Liverpool on
July 20 and was due in New York
on the 25th. She had on board so
first-class and SIS second-class pas
sengers, the majority of them re-
turning American tourists, besides
$50 immigrants. The failure to
make known the extent of the
Aurania's disability was doubt
less due to the fact
that there is no night signal in use
except that signifying disability,
and one or two other important re-
ports Of like nature. Two schoon-
ers arrived in New York on the
evening of the 29th, and reported
having seen the Aurania. She was
also spoken on July 27th by the
North German Lloyd steamer
Saale, within ships length. Capt.
Mckay reported slight defect in
the Aurania's engines. The Red
Star Line steamer Freidland passed
the Aurania on July 27th. She
then showed no signals. The
Aurania is amongst the finest Of the
Cunard fleet and is vessel of $500
tons register.

DIAMONDS TO COST MORE.
A GREAT SYNDICATE To CLEAR
$4,000, 900 IN a DEAL.
South African Fields The Deieers- X Inn
berry Combine--Stones In
Gold Quartz.

New YORK, August IA $40,
900, 900 diamond deal has Just been
consummated in London. Accord
ing to the private advices received by
the Maiden lane diamond dealers, a
rich London diamond syndicate,
composed of Charles Abrahams
Werner, Bert & Company, Joseph
Brothers and J. Barnato. has made
a contract with the De Beers KIM
berly syndicate OF South Africa by
which the latter agrees to deliver to
the London syndicate its entire
output of rough diamonds until
July, 1897. For this concession
the London syndicate pays
to the De Beers Kimberly
syndicate an advance of Iop per cent.
over the price now existing. This
means, as the annual output Of the
mines controlled by the South
Africa corporation amounts to $50,
900, 900, that the De Beers Kim
berly syndicate will make W, ooo,-
900 clear profit over the profit it
would make under present condi-
tons. Just what the ordinary
revenue of this colossal syndicate is,
not to speak of this extra 81, ooo,-
900, is not known.
The immediate result Of this deal
will be, according to Stern Brothers
& Co., to send the cost OF dia-
monds upward, gradually, but
with certainty. With the excep-
ton of few independent mines in
South Africa the De Beers Kim
berly syndicate controls the worlds
supply of diamonds. Its former
contract with London syndicate
still has year to run, so the con-
tract just made covers the time
from July, 1896, to July, 1897.
The same account that gave the
New York diamond dealers this re-
port of the De Beers company
brought another revelation of activ-
ity in South Africa. To the utter
surprise of old and experienced
miners, diamonds have been dis
covered among gold quarts in sew
eral Transvaal gold mines. This
circumstance is regarded as pecul-
lar. Seldom have this gem and the
precious metal been found in such
close proximity.
When the miners at Kleersdorf
discovered that their heavy stamps
were pulverizing large diamonds
with gold quartz CONSERVATION en-
sued, and an order was issued
along the line to be ON the sharp
watch for diamonds. Some that
were found proved to be of the very
first water and were styled by ex-
perts peculiarly unique. At Jo-
hannesburg some fine diamonds
have been found mixed with the
gold quartz,

PAROLE no LILIUOKALANI-RE
PERMITS FOR ExILEs.
snspen.ion of Sentence for Rank and
III. ners-ConditionaI -Pardons
for Revolt Leaders.

1t is understood the Cabinet ha.
under serious consideration the
taking of immediate steps looking
to removal, so far as possible, of all
after effects of the revolution Of
January last.
The action contemplated includes
parole for Liliuokalani, removal
of the bar against all persons ex-
PEELED from the country without
trial, suspension of sentences passed
upon the rank and file of natives
convicted Of participation in the
uprising, conditional pardon of the
foreigners and natives prominent in
the attempt to overturn the Govern
ment by force of arms.
Various men in the list of leaders
Of the government have for some
time been suggesting the adoption
OF such a policy as is outlined
above. This paper brought it for
ward and favored it as a local issue.
The Cabinet and associates and
advisers are impelled to considera-
ton of the program partly by
pressure here, and largely by de-
velopments of very recent date.
There had been, up to yesterday,
considerable doubt on the verdict
to be rendered at the conclusion of
Great Britain's review of the pro-
ceedings of the military commits
sion. Now all this doubt is most
completely effaced. Instead of
showing any inclination to back
up the threats of some of her
hot-headed subjects in Hawaii,
Britain has refrained from send
ing gun-boats and war ships and
cruisers and torpedo destroyers to
collect damages, avenge outrages
upon British subjects and wipe out
the records of the court martial"
On the contrary, Great Britain
has said to Hawaii: "If subjects to
the Queen plot against your
Republic, or take the field in arms
against it, or aid or abet or coun-
sci revolution against it, you can
try them by military commits
sion, Danish them, subject them
to all the exigencies Of
martial law. OF course no
innocent man shall be harmed.
When there is conviction it must
be OH sufficient evidence. But we
recognize fully your right to quick
ly, summarily, even harshly resent
any assault ON your government
and we find that your military
commission is legal and regular
tribunal"
This gives the government of the
Republic of Hawaii confidence. 1t
fills it with intent to be liberal and
and forbearing 1t fills it with a
firm belief of power and authority
and the conviction that in ordinary
and proper course of events the
Great Government of Great Britain
will continue be friend and ally
and valuable adviser. This makes
the Republic feel safe and solid.
The Republic is not loosing
sleep in worry over the outcome Of
its Durrell indemnity dispute with
the United States. That country
has not yet passed upon the mill
tary commission, but there have
such things over there and in
England they do not.
