HUNTING FOR DOPE.
Specials Search Chinese Premises
IL but Fail to Find AnY.

I I Yesterday morning Special
Cordes, Clerk George Sea and 9TH
ers repaired to a room in the back
part of the Cosmopolitan restaurant
for the purpose of following up an
opium clue obtained a short time
ago.
Upon arrival at the place two
Cinnamon were seen standing near
the back door, which, upon exami-
nation, was found to be locked. In
some mysterious manner the Chi
naman, whose name was found to
be Wong Kwang Soy, had learned
of the intended raid and decamped
for parts unknown.
The two Cinnamon, upon seeing
the officers, came suddenly to a
decision that they had business in
other parts. From later develop
ments the officers concluded the
men were after opium.
Cordes was provided with a
search warrant, and work Of exam
lining the room was begun at once.
A bag Of lichee nuts found on
the table made the officers suspect
opium. After ransacking the room
two horns and several lichee nuts
filled with dope were found in vari-
fous places.
It was reported to the officers
that Wong Kwang Soy had large
quantity of opium concealed in his
room, but the search failed to
find it.
Officers are on the trail Of the
Chinaman. He will probably be
caught during the day.

TwENTY-FoURTH DAY, July II.

TWENTY FOURTH DAY, July II.
Minister Damon stated that the
President desired copies of all bills
and resolutions be furnished him from
day TO day, so he could keep in touch
with Senate affairs.
Senator Brown announced that the
Joint Resolution regarding land ten
ures and registry of deeds and the
Chinese immigration Act had both
been handed to the President for his
signature.
The same member gave notice of
bill relating to storage of spirits in
bond.
House bill No. IL, relating to terms
of Circuit Courts, passed first reading
and was referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
Senator WiIcox's Gan Act to Pre-
vent Footbinding" passed first read
ing and was amended by striking out
any reference to China or Chinese.
The Educational Committee report
ed on the Act to define the word
"school." They made a slight amend.
ment. a letter from the Board of
Education was read approving the
bill. When the Act was taken up for
consideration, it was found to be
loosely worded and later was referred
back to the committee.
A communication from the House
was read notifying President Wilder
that the bill relating to importation
ard sale of alcohol had passed its
third reading.
After this bill was read for the first
time before the Senate, Attorney
General Smith explained that it had
been introduced at the request of ply
siciaDs and druggists, who claimed
that the present very high duty on
alcohol worked a hardship on poor
people.
At 80 o'clock the Senate ad-
journed until Monday morning at 10
O'Clock.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-07-13

copies of resolutions when read by
him.
Rev. Birnie was present in the
for few moments.
Whenever the "labor commission "
is mentioned, a very tired look comes
over Senator Browns countenaDce.
Senator Baldwin was granted leave
of absence until Monday.
When the Currency Bill was before
the Senate the other day, Senator
McCandless said that silver was
scarce. Several people present, after
placing their hands in their pockets,
nodded "yes."
Senator Hooking claims that silver
is more than plentiful in Maui. He
says that gold acts like a charm on
sore eyes.
Minister Damon declared that he
had read the "School Act" no less
than six times, and was not a bit
wiser after doing so. Senator Nc
Candless says that a Hilo lawyer
could place an Interpretation on it,
and no one else. The committee will
probably kill the bill.
Senator Wilder makes an excellent
presiding officer; the members are
afraid to talk back, probably on ac-
count of his size.
The Senate adjourned until Monday
to allow the different committees time
to get together.
Senator Lyman can be depended
upon to look after the interests of his
constituents. He always has an item
or two in his inside pocket whenever
an appropriation bill is under con-
sideration.
Attorney General Smith intimated
yesterday that the Chinese were not
alone in the "footbinding" business /;
many white people wore shoes several
sizes too small.
