a GRUESOME FIND.
4 Chinaman's Hand IN q Can-The
Murder Theory Dispelled.

The Chinese have a very revolt
ing custom of saving, for future
reference, all parts of their bodies
which have become detached IN
any manner. About a year and a
half ago Chinaman at Eva plan
tation had his left hand so badly
injured in an accident that it be-
came necessary to have the mem
Der amputated. He came to Homo
lulu and had the operation per-
formed.
Upon returning to Eva he took
his amputated hand to cousin
who then kept poi shop in one of
John Colburn's houses on Mauna-
kea street. 1t had been placed in
a new tin pail and Theoretically
sealed to keep out the germs of de-
composition. All Wa, the faithful
cousin, took his relations hand,
shook it and put it away in a safe
corner, there to remain until called
for. Then the one-handed China
man went back to Eva feeling GER
tain that he had succeeded in find
ing a safe resting-place for his
hand until such a time as he
should see fit to accompany it back
IN The land of his birth.
A short time ago All Wa moved
his place of taro pounding and for
got to take with him the hand of
his relation. He had put the tin
pail containing it into an iron pot
used for cooking and had left this
in a dark corner, evidently expect
ing to carry it away.
Yesterday morning an old native,
employed by John Colburn, was
set to work cleaning the recent poi
shop in preparation for the arrival
of a new tenant. He came upon
the pail, and thinking it might
contain something of value, pulled
off the top. What he found was a
shrivelled hand, from which eman-
ated a very sickening odor. 1t had
been cut off two or three inches
above the wrist, and was bent
around to fit the pail.
This was more than the native
could stand, and, in a very excited
state, he ran to the police station,
where he told his story.
Captain Scott was dispatched to
the scene to investigate the matter.
All Wa, the last occupant of the
building, was arrested and held for
investigation. His cousin will be
up from Eva today to identify pro-
perty, at which time All Wa will,
probably, have all suspicion re-
moved from him and walk about
again with head erect.

SOUTH SEA HURRICANE.
Great Damage Done in Fiji and the
New Hebrides.

Particulars Of the terrific hurri-
cane which swept over FIJI on Janu-
airy 6 and z have been received at
Auckland by the steamer Obau from
the islands as follows:
The buildings in Suva suffered
very severely. The Presbyterian
Church, the Wesleyan Church, the
native Polynesian Church, and the
Church OF England collapsed, and
we're entirely destroyed. The Euro
pean Church Of England was un-
rooted. The Customs house and
Bonded Store and many small stores
and dwellings were wrecked.
At Nausori the sugar mill was uu-
injured, but the managers and Off
GERS residences, the mechanics bar
racks, and many other buildings in
the neighborhood were badly dam
aged.
At Levuka the bark Ophir was
wrecked on the reef, and her cargo
OF 700 tons OF copra was lost. There
was also considerable damage done
to buildings and small craft.
A schooner, whose name is I'M
known, foundered of Taviuni, and it
is believed that the whole of the
crew were drowned.
Holmhurst's sugar estate was dam
aged to the extent OF fl500.
The cocoanut plantations have
been ruined.
! The hurricane apparently worked
toward the New Hebrides group, as
a report from Santo states that on
the 9th inst. the wind did a great
deal OF damage to property and trees
were blown down.

SHOES AND LEATHER.
Cause of the Advance i'm the Former
-JObbers and Retailers Protesting.

BOSTON, May 3.-The contemplated adj
vance in the price of shoes for the fall
season. which was the result of meeting
of manufacturers in this city a few days
ago. is creating considerable dissatisfaction
in shoe circles all over the country. Es-
pecially is this the case where jobbers and
retailers have taken contracts relying on
the present prices a basis. The manu-
facturers contend that TO continue business
on the present basis, with the advance of
leather, is simply ruinous and suicidal for
any one TO attempt reporter visited
some of the leading leather firms in this
city, and a representative of the firm OF
Chase, Merritt * Co. gave the following
statement of the cause of the advancement
in the price OF shoes: The continued rise in
the price of leather. which is caused by the
lack of hides, is responsible solely for the
contemplated advance in the prices. To-day
hemlock leather in Boston is eight cents
per pound higher than last season. There
are two pounds of leather TO pair of Soes,
making an advance of 16 cents per pair
for sole leather. Glove grained leather has
advanced cents per foot Calf skins have
advanced very rapidly and now are 10 cents
per pound over last season. Flesh splits
have advanced over % per cent. Topping
stock Of all kinds has advanced sharply so
that the manufacture of a medium grade
of sale shoes at the present price of leather
will cost 30 cents per pair more than last
season, with the prospect OF a still further
advance of upper and sole leather. Manu-
facturers can only buy from the leather
dealers such stock as they have on the
floor and under no circumstances will they
sell TO deliver in the future. Union leather
which is used for women's, misses and
chiIdren's class, has advanced l. cents per
pound The shoe manufacturers to-day do
not want TO take orders, they simply de-
sire to keep enough orders on hand to have
their machinery running. They have made
concessions SO long that now they must stop
q m n m. Of 10
with a Inallafactt tsFer --.o-6ay unless they
pay advance of from 10 to % cents per
pair, according to the grade of shoe made
Jobbers of shoes. as we'll as retailers all
over the country who continue selling goods
at old prices or slight advance, will find
they have been giving away actual cash
which they cannot replace. No sensible
man, with any business instinct, in the
face of the present market can do it."

was superintendent of the poor farm under
the Lewelling regime. for damages caused
by maltreatment while plaintiff was an
inmate at the institution. Witnesses state
that they were given but two meals

UNDERWOOD TALKS BACK.
Reply to Commander Thayer, of the
Massachusetts &. A. R.

CHICAGO, May 3.-Gen. John c. Under
wood, commanding the Confederate vet
erans of Chicago, said to-day regarding the
pronunciamento of Commander Thayer, of
Massachusetts: II determined TO have the
monument dedicated on Decoration day be-
cause. the day being holiday, all the ex-
Confederates in Chicago could easily at
tend, and besides beginning with the initial
action of Colonel Kotch in 1876, c. A. r.
posts have very generally decorated the
graves of the dead Confederates in Oakwood
Cemetery, where the monument is to
stand, and the handful of Southern vet
Grams living in Chicago have invariably
returned such courtesy by decorating the
graves OF the Union soldiers in the same
cemetery. For the past four or five years
the greatest good feeling and cooperative
harmony has existed between the veterans
OF both Union and Confederate armies
living in Chicago. as specially evidenced
last year by five G. a. II. posts decorating
the Confederate graves at the same time

Neither / nor any other Southerner who
was an actor in great or sman degree dur

II is not reasonable to expect to change
our original opinions any more than for
the South had abided the turn of the issue
against itself and met adversely as great
people should; and the late disastrous riots
which in this city and at other places
caused the unlawful destruction of millions
of property and threatened wholesale dis

sympathy nor aid from the people from
any class in the Southern States. TheSfact

simply to assist in memorializing
who believes there are graves enough on
either side, who feels certain that the
Southern people are honest in their profess

FIVE CHIEFS ABDICATE.

OF the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians have
practically abdicated in favor of COM
mittee of the young men of the tribe, who
have formed an organization, with Paul
Goodbear, young Cheyenne preacher, at
it's head. The immediate cause of the
change is said to be an effort on the part
of high officials to appropriate half mil
lion dollars of the trust funds of the tribe
towards the erection of houses and the
improvement OF allotted land for the In
dians. The young do not want the
money appropriated now, and If IL is they

there. The young men now in control are
all educated, and ii Is their intention to

RATIFIED All PEKING
VICEROY LIS PEACE TREATY SIGNED
by THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.
Final Notifications to BE Exchanged
at Che-FOO Next Week-River
Banks Cut Near Peking.

LONDON, May 3--The Times has a dis
patch from Shanghai stating that the EN-
peror of China ratified the treaty Of peace
with Japan yesterday and that Ii Hung
Chang will at once proceed to Che-Foo to
exchange ratifcations with the Japanese
representatives. According to the terms,
the ratifcations will be exchanged on May
8. The Mikado ratified the 1reaty April
20 last. Prince kung, president of the
Chinese Council of Ministers and heading
the Foreign Office, who has BEEN absent
from his duties on sick leave for some time
past. will now resume active control OF
the government departments under his su-
pervision.
Another dispatch from Shanghai says: In
accordance with a special imperial edict
issued in order to prevent the possibility of
the Japanese entering Peking, the Chinese
have cut the river embankments near Pc
king. Miles OF territory have been flooded
and hundreds of Chinese have been drowned.
The British minister to China, Mr.. y. r.
O'Connor, has gone to Peking to make an
attempt 10 recover from the Chinese gov
ernment Arrears of pay due to foreigners
who were serving in the Chinese army
previous to the outbreak of hostilities.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg says:
Selnl-Of1cldl statement mas Detn issued mere
dealing at length with the situation of af-
fairs in the far East. 1t declares that the
maintenance of the status quo on the Chi
nese mainland is political necessity what
ever the issue of the present struggle be.
A realization of the Japanese claims would
entirely abolish the fictitious independence
of the Coreans and place in Japans hands
the key to Chnas capital Moreover it
is added, Russia and France would be COM
peled in their own interests to ward off
their frontiers any cause for permanent un-
easiness or serious crisis. Continuing, the
statement says that Germany has the de-
ve,opment of her commerce in these regions
too much at heart to see without msgivings
German commercial houses exposed 10 con-
tinual disturbances. These three powers
which have communicated their views to
Toxic and know how to enforce respect for
them, do not intend to deprive Japan of the
fruits of her victories; but, her civilzing
progress will sooner or later be menaced
with destruction unless it is based on the
principles upon which rest the concord
of civilized nations.
The Jounal des Debats of Paris says ii
learns from an authentic source that Japan
has decided to accede to the representa-
tions OF the powers and abandon her de-
mand for territory on the Lao Tung pc
ninsula except Port Arthur, I'm return for
compensation elsewhere.
