The Rocklaud Opinion has apparently
made no progress toward a reconciliation
with the Democratic State Committee,
more properly called. the Plum Trust.
Speaking of it's officers elected the other
day, it says that "they are gentlemen.
whom we highly esteem personally. but
they stand for everything that is bad in
poIitics." 1t then takes them up seriatim
and desert bes them in a way that makes
one shudder to think what would be the
fate of man whom the Opinion did not
personally esteem. Mr.. Hughes is de-
scribed as the representative of Arthur
Sewau, the detestable traitor who
wormed himself into the Demo-
cratic National committed" The
Opinion indicates it's high per-
sonal esteem for Mr.. Beane, by
saying that he is the editor of the per-
sonaI newspaper organ of the self ap-
pointed boss, Morton, which many be-
lieve to have been established and run
with the money raised from a ten per
cent assessment on postmasters and
tide walters nominally for campaign
purposes" Mr.. Barton lis said to be
An honest man; and so the treasury was
handed over to him-after it had been
quite emptied"-this is the tribute of
personal esteem paid to the treasurer.

HOFFMAN'S GREAT SORROW.
He Will Sue the Elbe's Owners for
His FamilY's Death.

OMAHA, Nebr., Feb. 16.-Carl A..
Hoffman of Grand Island, one of the
twenty persons saved from the wreck
of the Elbe In the North Sea on the
morning of January 20, was in
Omaha today on his way home. He
came In from Chicago this morning
and spent the day calling on his
friends, and left for his home this
afternoon.
81 could have been home before
had wanted to-" said Mr.. Hoffman,
"but I canDot bear to go home and
think that my wife and child will
never more be with me. You cannot
imagine how bad it is. We were so
happy there, and now 1 must go
back and they are not with me. /
could easily have saved my boy if
the Elbe's officers had let me alone,
but they tore my little boy from me-"
said be, and he choked down q sob,
and then added bitterly, "but 1 will
make them pay for all this. They
must do it. But I do not want to
talk too much about this, for 1 will
consult an attorney when [ get to
Grand Island. / will then make
sworn statement and forward it to
the owners of the Elbe. / do not
think it best that / should talk too
much about the action of the officers
of the Eibe and the behavior of the
Crathie."

Claus SpreckeIs III.

A San Francisco exchange of the

has been confined to his home by a
severe chest cold since Sunday
last. It made its appearance a
week ago, and Mr.. Spreckels
sought to fight it off, but unsuc-
cessfully. Physicians were called
IN who told him that it would be
necessary for him to keep to his
room for several days. Acting I'M
der that advice be is now improv-
ing, but it will probably be the last
of the week before it will be pru-
dent for him to resume his outdoor
active life. One of Mr.. Spreckels'
doctors said last evening that there
was no danger of the indieposition
running into pneumonia unless be
should contract another severe
cold, and to avoid such contin-
gency he would be kept in the
house until entirely recovered"

KAHUNAISM ON MAUI.
Judge KahaulehO Lectures Thirty.
four Of Its ExpOnents.

The current number of the
Friend contains the following:
Zone excellent result of the re-
cent crushing defeat of the heather
royalist insurgent party in these
islands was witnessed the other
day in Lahaina, Maui. Embold-
ened by the triumph of the civil
lied and Christian party of the Re-
public, the district judge summon
ed to appear before him thirty four
well-known kahuna sorcerers or
medicine men who had long prac-
ticed their incantations in the dis
trict extending from Kahakuloa to
Ukumehame. a coast line of thirty
miles. The judge gave them a
strong lecture on the Wickedness of
their practices, at the same time
reading to them the law thereon.
All but one of the offenders prom
Used amendment. The single re-
cusant was severely dealt with.
"AlI of these kahunas were
active royalists. Many of them
had been among the most violent
prosecutors Of the excellent pastor
at Lahaina, Rev. A. Pail, because
of his support of the Dole Govern
ment. Most of these kahunas had
been licensed in 1888 by Kala-
kaua's native board of health.
Judge Kahaulelio has been from
the first a strong supporter of the
Provisional Government. So strong,
however, has hitherto been the
royal heather party with the sup
port of President Cleveland that
the worthy judge has been COM
PEELED to be extremely moderate in
his proceedings. This timidity is
now at an end"

Edgar FFaDz's Story.

The Chronicle of the 10th ult.
says: zone glad refugee reached
his native land yesterday on the
steamer Mariposs, which arrived
early in the morning from Homo
lulu. Edgar Franz of Pennsyl-
vania is the name of the gentle
man, who is qnite pleased to find
himself still alive. Minister Dole
gave Edgar a steerage ticket on the
steamer, told him to go home and
keep his mouth shut hereafter.
Franz, who is but 10 years old,
was not a very rabid royalist. 1t
was his tongue and the native gal
lantry of the American which got
the boy into trouble. He talked
loudly and industriously, but as
Edgar took no part in the rebellion,
the Government let the young fell
low down easy"

THE NEW VALKYRIE.
To be Plated With Nickel Steel and
Garry Immense Sail.

GLASGOW, Feb. 12.-The new Val.
kyrie, which is being built by
Henderson Brothers of Patrick, will
be metal plated of specially made
nickel plate steel, q metal which is
said to be lighter and smoother than
Tobin bronze. This plating can be
FURNISHED to q piano finish. By
using this metal, Watson gets a
greater per cent. of ballast to dis
pl cement than can be had with
Tobiu bronze. The VaIkyrie is
rapidly growing in the shed. She is
an Improvement over the Britannia.
She has less displacement than the
Britannia, with not much more wet
ted surface. She has more draught
than the Britannia. In cutting the
displacement, Watson has given her
more power. She will swing an i'm
mense sail plan larger than the
Britannica.

sailed the Vigilsnt. His superiority
at the tiller is admitted, and he is

yacht about than any other yachts
man. He is also without q peer as a

FIVE YEARS IN PRISON.
Sentences Of Another Party Of
Natives Given to the Marshal.

Another batch of prisoners on
whom sentence has been passed
was turned over to the Marshal
Saturday afternoon. John Lilikoe
and Dan Damien are sentenced to
six years imprisonment. KIM }.
Mahoe, who is only 10 years old,
gets off with but one year. The
following were sentenced to five
years Imprisonment:
John r. Silva, Hoopii Kaliloa,
Paulo Hokii, Henry Edward, Ka-
anaana, John Kekaula, Makakoa,
James Kanoho, J. Hanupau, Her

$4,000 was RENTED by the Presi-
dent.
This leaves some thirty prisoners
yet to be sentenced, the most of
whom will probably hear their fate
this afternoon. Though the work
of the Military Commission is COM
pleted so far as the men now in
prison are concerned, it is very
probable that body will retain iIs
organization and be prepared for
any work which may arise until

A SURPRISE PARTY.
The Pastor Of Kawaiahao Called
On by His Friends.


Rev. H. II. Parker, of Kawaia-
hao Church, was very much sur
prised Saturday night by the sud-
den appearance in his house of a
number of his friends, bringing
with them the traditional hooku-
pus. It was long time before the
worthy pastor of Kawaiahao could
fathom the meaning of such an
array of chickens, ducks, turkeys,
sugar cane, taro, etc. Some one
limited at last that he was sixty
one years of age and the surprise
was out.
During the evening fifteen or
more friends dropped in, and after
depositing their little gifts held
pleasant converse with the pastor.
The home on Judd street was made
merry by pleasant conversation be-
tween all, and the pastor was made
to feel that the people of Honolulu
appreciate his work among the ma
tives. Aside from the gifts taken
by the persons who were present
during the evening, a great many
were sent by those unable to be
there.
