THEY ALL HOLD MONEY ORDERS.
The Japanese Immigrants Still De-
tanned at the Station.
They Engage Paul Neumann to Invoke
Government Aid to Cash Drafts
on a Japanese Firm.

A large number Of the Japanese
laborers who arrived on the British
steamer Bentala are in rebellious
mood also. They refuse to sign
labor contracts and as a result they
are still confined at the quarantine
station.
They have engaged Paul Nep-
mann to look after their interests.
He saw the men on Saturday and
received from each one an order on
Yam Yu Shosha, a local Japanese
firm. The members of the firm do
not seem disposed to cash the orders
and claim that the Custom House
people had no right to refuse to &C.
cept the draft for $50, which they
say is equivalent to cash.
On the other. hand the officials
say that the drafts held by the
men are not sufficient to cover the
immigration act, and point to the
law which says that every immi-
grant must possess at least $50 in
cash before he will be allowed to
land.
It is understood that Mr.. Neu'
mann will seek Government aid
today to compel the immigration
agents to cash the orders which
amount in all to about ST 300
If he succeeds the men will be al
lowed to land. If not they will be
returned to Japan, unless they
| sign contracts. The Bentala Is
now being held pending a settle
ment of the matter.

National Cane Shredder
CPArENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS,

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful.
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED.
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
"During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any Of its former
records by closing the 1875
hours grinding with an output
of 1904 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by go in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree.
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being %
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
seThe shredder has been
working day and night fol
seven months and has giver
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand ton:
of cane, and a large part OF il
being hard ratoons.
"The shredder and engine
require very little care o.
attention"

He Had to Swim.

The mate of the steamer James
Makee had an unpleasant expert
ence yesterday afternoon. While
riding a bicycle along the Inter
Island wharf, he approached too
near the edge. The right pedal
was up, and in attempting to Jump
off he gave his wheel a push for.
ward sufficient to precipitate it and
himself into the water. No harm
came to the rider, as he is a good
swimmer. The wheel was hshed
out with a graphing hook.

the court. His uniform courtesy and
kindness to every one have greatly en-
deavored him to the people. He has
ONLY one object IN his work, and that
is to do right He is humane towards
the weak and yet quite positive to-
wards the wilful criminal. His charge
to the grand jury was quite strong, and
though shorter than such charges
sometimes are, it was full and covered
the whole criminal law.
Both the criminal and civil dOckets
are well filled. The criminal docket
had 80 eases and the civil about 90.
There were 20 prisoners IN jail when
court opened, II of whom were in for
trial and the others serving sentence.
John Doe and Richard Roe" at
tracted much attention when they were
brought into court Monday. They are
the persons who tried on some clothes
in Weldon sometime ago and walked
off with them without paying for
them. They were caught afterwards
and would not tell their names, so were
given in the warrant the names John
Doe" and "Rlchard Roe" the names
used in the old law books for conven-
fence in illustration Their case was
set for to-day wednesday,. Two per
sons tried for larceny have already
been sentenced to the penitentiary.
