WOMEN NOT OUT.
Though Open Sunday Saloons
Were Noted.
h. REEVES VISITS FIVE.

Kept Tab on What He Saw His Merely .
Mission of CooperatiOn-Many OF the
saloons Closed at Every Door In Rock
Island Yesterday.
There were no visits paid to sa-
looms on the part of the women Sun
day closing crusaders yesterday. but
a plan that had been adopted in lieu
thereof which gave them the evidence
they desired. Tab was kept by j. II.
Reeves. who visited five in all, and
made a mental note of what he saw
for the benefit of the movement
which is to be presented before the
grandjurv. Mr.. Reeves tarried I'M
concernedly and long enough to know
what was going on ut the Club on
Eighteenth street; H. Schwecke's on
Twentieth street; John. Ainsworth's
on Fourth avenue; James Given's on
Market. square, and Lothar Harms
on First avenue. Mr.. Reeves asserts
that his mission was merely one of
cooperation with the w. c. L. u,
and that he is anxious and deter
mined to render it all possible as
sistance in enforcing the law to the
letter. He is not acting in behalf of
the w. c. 7. U. he says, but he be-
lieves the organization has entered up.
on the grandest work ever undertaken
in Rock Island, and since other men,
protesting temperance. have failed
to come forward and help the ladies.
he has taken up the cause with
them. MIR. Reeves states he is not
n temperance man, but an absolutely
total abstinence mau. not a crank.
but citizen determined to cooper
ate in every movement that looks to
the application of the law to the
liquor traffic. This is the substance of
what Mr.. Reeves declares to be his
position.
Several Saloons Plainly Closed.
A number of the saloons showed
more apparent evidences of being
closed yesterday than for some time.
That is. there was no evidence of life
about such premises, and all the
doors, whether side or front, were
locked.
There was no crushing of the
can," but this is due very likely to
the stand the local liquor dealers
association took at its recent meet
ing, when all members were in
structed to sell no more beer to chill
dren with pals, ETC., whether bring
ing orders from parents or others or
not, and under no condition to per-
nit children to enter the saloons.

TEA AND TENNIS.
Farewell on Pacific Club Grounds to
Miss Atkinson.

The courts Of the Pacific Tennis
Club were thrown open to friends
of that organization yesterday
afternoon between the hours of 4
and 6 80 o'clock, the event being a
farewell to Miss LAM Atkinson,
who leaves today for the States by
the Monowai.
For the first ii me the club colors
were flying from the top of the
back nets, in true Eastern style.
Twenty remnants in scarlet and
navy blue were set twelve feet
apart, making very pretty effect
huttering in the breeze.
The courts were occupied by
teams of mixed doubles during the
hours mentioned. The sets played
were very close, the lady players
making many brilliant returns.
Many friends gave the club the
pleasure of their presence, some
occupying carriages on the outside
and others taking advantage of the
shade trees on the grounds.
Tea was served during the after
noon, Mrs. DR.. Nichols presiding.
The Pacific Tennis Club wish to
tender a vote of thanks for her
kindness.

DESERVING YOUNG MAN.
c. F. Peterson Goes to Yale College
for a Law Course.

G. F. Peterson leaves today by
the Monowai for Yale College,
where he will take a thorough law
course. Mr.. Peterson has accept
ably filled the responsible position
of second deputy clerk of the Su-
preme Court for over year, and,
by the most diligent application,
has won the esteem of all With
whom he has come in contact. He
accompanied the annexation COM
mission to Washington as secre-
tary, being selected on account of
special fitness for the work.
Many admiring friends will watch
Mr.. Peterson's career, and good
reports are expected of him. Those
who know him best say he is spe-
cially adapted to the law and will
become a valued addition to the
profession in Honolulu. If untir-
ing energy and close study count
in the struggle for prominence in
his chosen walk of life-as it surely
does, and always marks the sue
cessful man-then Mr.. Peterson
will return from college fully pre-
pared to overcome life's vicissitudes
and carve out an honored name.
Energetic, industrious and self
reliant, he has already surmounted
the many obstacles of self made
career, and is now entering upon
higher grade, which will carry him
still step higher up the ladder to
fame and fortune.

OPIUM OUTFIT FOUND.
Articles Discovered by Captain
Scott During a Raid.

Opium has got another China
man into trouble. 1t was the same
old story-a quiet smoke, a
delicious sensation, a surprise and
me cold iron bars of a prison cell.
Captain Scott, with other police
officers, made raid on the house
of Lau Yuen on King street near
Maunakea last night and there
succeeded in gathering quite
collection of articles closely identi-
fed with an opium dealer and
smokers outfit. Among these were
a small jar containing about a
pound of opium, tin with meagre
contents, several empty tins and a
complete smoking outfit. The
Chinaman and the articles were
taken to the police station. Shortly
after, a friend arrived and Lau
Yuen was released on 800 bail.
The case will come up for trial in
the Police court this morning.

NUISANCE IN PALAMA.
Hole on Liliha Street Used a Gar.
bage Dump.

Residents in the vicinity of the
large hole at the foot of Liliha
street, Palama, are beginning to
make very strong complaints
against the action of certain per-
sons in using the place as a dump
ing ground for rubbish and gar
bage. Said one of the number last
night, 81 think it about time the
nuisance is abated. We who live
near the hole are getting very tired
of inhaling disgusting odors waited
from the place. Every day China
men and natives dump, not only
rubbish, but foul smelling stuff
into the hole I have mentioned.
If spoken to they simply tell US to
mind our own business and that is
the end OF it, for we are powerless
to do anything"

and when prices are at the bottom. such
spaSms can only mean an advance Nothing

in sight do not decrease more than they would
naturally on account of bad weather. Corn is
only a shade higher with western receipts
much smaller than last year.
Cotton dropped a week ago to ass cents. the
lowest point ever known since modern claSSifi-
cations were adopted. and has not vet risen.
the whole market turns on the fact that stocks
- American cotton here and abroad are con-
siderably larger than ever.
The market for cotton goods is fairly active
and the demand improves in some grades, but
is on the whole decidedly disappointing. though
this week there has been no sensational reduc-
tion in prices. Undoubtedly the accumulation
of goods continues and is most dangerous for
the trade. The sale of wool at the three chief
markets during the past month have been

goods are fairly supplied with orders. it is a
most unwholesome feature that numerous can

supplied at exceptionally low prices do not
meet the expectation Of buyers. On the other
hand, the demand for the goods Of better
grade seems little better than expected.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.-The steam.

seven days from Honolulu, brought
thirteen exiles from the Hawaiian ISL

steamer. Only a few have been ac-

themselves obnoxious to the repub-

The most important news brought
by the steamer was the decision OF
President Dole and the cabinet com.

sentences imposed by court martial
upon Wilcox, Seward, Richard and

a SENSATIONAL SUIT.
Mrs. Girty Wants to Recover Certain Prop

erty from william Rockefeller. the Stand
ard OIL Millionaire.
BROOKLYN, March A very sensa-
tional suit is that brought in the SUI
preme court of this city by Mrs. Caro-
line f. Girty against William Rookie
Teller, the Standard oil millionaire.
Mrs. Girty's husband was many years
cashier and bookkeeper of the Standard
Oil Co. She claims that some time ago
he told her he was accused of embeZ-
cling S27s. 200 and that unless he made
restitution he would be prosecuted.
To save him she says she transferred
real estate in Cleveland, o., to the COM
pany. The husband has since died and
Mrs. Girty claims to have discovered
proof of his innocence and therefore
brings the suit to recover possession of
her property. Mr.. ROckefeller's for
tune is estimated at from $40. 900, 900 to
S75, 900. 900. which he has accumulated
through association with his brother,
John ID. Rockefeller. the founder of
the mammoth oil company. His resi-
dence is said to be the most magnifi-
cent in America.

Talk on the Probabilities of an Information
al Conference.

al Conference.
WASHINGTON. March 4.-Talk of the
probabilities of bimetallic confer
ence, which has been more or less
active since the parliaments of Great
Britain and Germany have agitated the
question. has been given fresh impetus
by the adoption of Senator Wolcott's
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of international conferees. The
discussion is not confined in either
party or to any particular faction, and
in the house the feeling was decidedly
hopeful one all around. The move
ment under way would be productive
of results. The United States has only
been waiting, it is said, for other gov
ernments to take the initiative or man
ifest disposition to meet us half way.
This movement that has recently
started in Europe" said Chairman
Springer, of the committee on banking
and currency, must not be construed
as an effort for the reconciliation of
silver al a ratio of 16 to 1. On the con-
trary, there are few. if any. European
statesmen who believe that remoneti-
cation is possible. Their object is to
secure a ratio so near the intrinsic
value of the two metals that the ratio
established will be the basis of inter
national exchange. both of gold and
silver. What the ratio shall be is of
little consequence, except to silver
mine owners. Silver is now being pur-
chased at profit of 60 cents an ounce.
With the ratio l6 to it would be
worth Sl29. and it is very doubtful
whether. if all the countries could
agree upon 16 to 1, such ratio could
be maintained, owing to the fact that
production would be stimulated to such
an extent that silver would be as
plentiful as copper"
Representative Cobb (dem.), of Mis-
souri,. who is a member of the house
committee on banking and currency.
said: IF the agitation in Europe is
continued, as | hope it will be, it will
probably result in conference. AL
