LOOKS LIKE A FAKE.

The Story of the Torturing of Capt. Davies at Honolulu Bears All of the Fakes Ear marks-Of the same Piece with Other Absurd Stories Inspired by Royalist sym pathizers-It is Really Absurd. 1 BOSTON, Feb. 20.-Hon. German D. | Gilman, of this city, writes as follows to morning paper regarding the tor ture said to have been perpetrated on Capt. Davies, of Honolulu, by the au- thorities to force confession of him. self and associates in the late insurrec- ton:
 'The whole account bears the strong est evidence of fake story without a foundation of truth.
 Capt. Davies was arrested about January or B. His part was very evil dent and public. Arms were known to have been landed for the insurgents from the steamer under Davies com mand. There was no doubt of this. Consequently the arrest The agree ment, as detailed by Capt. Davies with the rebel leaders, was that he was to be paid the sum of S10,0 for his part in the work
 The fact that he was only paid S2O may have had something to do with his readiness to testify to the facts. The latest dates from Honolulu are about four weeks after Capt. Davies arrest and trial. It is almost impossl- ble to believe that such cruelties could have been practiced on any prisoner at Honolulu and the general public not know of it.
 "The very able and alert corre- spondent of the United Press who sent the latest dispatches giving very fall accounts of each days proceedings and incidents makes no allusion to such charges. The Honolulu newspapers printed during the weeks between the arrest and latest dates made no allu- sion to any torture
 Tt is well known fact, testified to by all parties, that the prisoners of high or low degree, leaders or not, had every courtesy possible extended to them at the time of their trials. Mr. Paul Neumann, who is one of the ablest and most adroit lawyers on the island, expressed in open court his thanks for counsel, and the prisoners for the general kindly considerable of the court sitting on the cases
 "The court was open to all, many ladies being in attendance, official rep ! resentatives of foreign govern ments especially provided for, and the general public freely admitted to hear the pro- ceedings.
 "ls it possible that Capt. Davies could have had any compulsion of the slight est kind put upon him by the marshal or his officers and not have told it when on the stand?
 1.-The friends of Hawaii are not sur prised at the occasional improba ble stories that find their way into print from San Francisco and Chicago. These two cities seem to have royalist sympathizers who send out occasion ally statements in regard to the mat ters at the island which have not d par ticle of truth in them
 Ut is only a few weeks ago that such story was telegraphed over the country from Chicago that was a pure l fake"

Comforting for the prohlbitlonlsts.

A noticeable fact and one which
should be cause Of satisfaction for the
Prohibitionists,i Is that there is material
falling of IN the number Of applications
for liquor licenses for the year. The
retail licenses are some three hundred
short while those for wholesalers are some
fifty less than last year.
The reason given for this is that the
stringency ii money has seriously af,
fected this class Of merchants and the
sales under the sheriffs hammer have
been by no means few Many Of the
saloons are owned by the brewerles, and
operated indirectly by them, and sales
during the last twelve months have not
been Of a nature to warrant their being
continued longer. Among the lower
classes Of places, commonly dubbed gin
mills, trade has fallen off, owing to the
blacklisting OF many Of the old and
regular customers aud the dearth Of spare
coin with those who are fortunate enough
to keep clear Of the police.
The Law and Order Society has made
dead set against any new saloons and
every one which falls by the wayslde
leaves one less.

The small boy and the sled are factors
in a question which is always perplex-
ing one to the city fathers It is an
impossibilty to keep the combination of

there have been no accidents OF serious
nature so far this Winter, it Is not the
fault Of the aforesaid small boy City
Solicitor Elliott has given the question
considerable thought. and, at recent
neeting Of the StreeIaud Sewer Com
mission, suggested that an artificial
coasting place could bs erected on Kirk
wood Park or some Of the natural hills
IN Brandywine Park could be put In
shape for the small boy aud his coaster.
The only drawback to this Is the short
ness Of the Winters and the small
amount cf snow which generally falls
here, Ia other cities, notably those
in the North, certain sire cts are set
apart for coastiug and the interseciing
streets are guarded by watchmen IN
order to prevent accidents. The solu

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The House resolution to extend the time
for making income tax returns from
March to April 10 has been reported to
the Senate with amendments intended
to make this Populist Democratic
measure more explicit and removing
some, but by no means all, Of It's incon-
gruities. The delay In putting the act
into execution may give the Supreme
Court aa opportunity to declare this
partial aud unjust tax unconstitutional.
Argument on a test csse IL To be h. on
the first Monday in March, and a decision
should be reached before the

the tax Is unjust AID unequal-it was
designed TO be so-snd would not have

tax which they could evade, but which
would have to be paid BY the people Of
