Exciting Fracas on Mer-

Night.

AT q quarter'to IL o'clock mid
night man named Truschler, a
shoemaker on Hotel Street, tried
to gain admittance to the house
of Otto Graaf, Merchant Street on
the corner of Alakea Street.
Mr.. Graaf, seeing that bis un-
timely visitor was intoxicated, re-
fused him admittance. Truschler
drew a revolver and was about to
fire it at the man of the house,
when Graaf hit him strong blow
in the face.
Truschler fired his pistol, for
tunately without hitting anybody,
when Graaf delivered him blow
that knocked HIM to the ground.
Graaf held Truschler down until
assistance came, whenit was found
that Truschler was so badly hurt
that he had to be sent to the
Queens Hospital.
Graaf was arrested and held at
the station house.

as anything else in this wide
world, Here would be chance
for the sporting element who are
not in the ring to express their
opinion and back tiff they had
a mind to and also the necessary
coin, and everyone would have an
equal show of losing. But when
races are arranged so that each
stable may win in its own pecu-
liar speciality, the public feels
that the owners are acting in sup
RENE contempt of the public.
And the public now in return
may retaliate. Why not have

The Monroe Doctrine.

tice the manner in which
American jingoes and their

casions the Monroe doctrine, as
if the bare mention of that
nearly forgotten theory was an
argumentum ad hominem
against which nothing further
could be said. This view is
not shared though by foreign

has lately said q great deal
about Americas pet doctrine.

A SQuABBLE.
Two Mounted Patrolmen
Arrested for Doing UP
the Captain.

1t seems that there has been
trouble among the mounted
police since the advent of Cap
tain Cook as Commander. Tue
men, who are nearly all Germans,
claim that the Captain is trying
to get rid of them and they state
that they dent believe he is a
cavalry man at all, but must have
belonged to the horse marines.
On the other side the captain
claims that some of the men are
inclined to insubordination and
that he must insist on discipline.
Yesterday this ill-feeling came to
a focus. Gus Nelson. patrol
man, was dismissed in the after
noon for being drunk at the drill.
In the evening about 8 o'clock
Captain Cook, who was on his
way home, was assaulted and
seriously beaten by Nelson, who
was armed with a club. The as
sault took place On Merchan,
street near Alakea street. Cook
received medical attention and
was taken home. His arm was
seriously bruised, and he rece'y-
ed an ugly cut in his face. Mel
son was later arrested in a res
taurant on Hotel street and is
now in jail. The feeling among
the German patrolmen agains
the captain was very pronounced
yesterday evening.
At about 10 o'clock patrolmar
Wichart was arrested, charged
with assault and battery on Cap
tain Cook. He is alleged to b.
accessory to the ofense charged
against Nelson. Both men ar,
refused bail. on the ground tina
they were intoxicated.

AS the Social Science Club has
been pleased to publish Chief
Justice Judd7s essay on "Recent

We can see TO reason for the
essay excepting that it gives the
Chief Justice the opportunity to
go for three men who had the
temerity to differ from him on
general principles.
The late King Kalakaua and
his minister Walter M. Gibson
can make no defence against the
slurs and innuendoes contained in
the essay. In an5wer to the charge
OF ignorance against Mr. Gibson
it may be said that there are peo-
pie who credit that gentleman
with having been poss s,ed of as
good intellectual faculties as the
Chief Justice has. So far as Mr.
Spreckels is concerned, he is still
in the flesh and may be heard
from in answer to the charge of
getting away with $150,000 in
"plunder.' The coinage of the
Kalakaua coins may have been
illegal; but, if so, it is passing
strange that the law officers at
the time of the coinage did not
intervene to prevent it. Neither
the King nor Mr.. Gibson controll.

The Situation.

Is the political, financial, ana
social situation Of Hawaii sat-
.isfactory? This question is
frequently asked not alone by
strangers, but by residents and
citizens, who have the true
welfare Of this country at heart.
Can we answer with honesty
and truthfulness in the affirm
ative I? Alas, it is the sad
truth that never before did
these far islands stare such
difficulties in the face as they
do to-day.
Politically we find hostility
and bitterness never encount-
cred before. The minority
which rules at the point of the
bayonet find themselves treated
and considered as hostile in
vaders, as conquerors and
usurpers and not as old friends
or acquaintances to which titles
many of them possess the
right. In 1887 the Reform
Party was looked upon by the
majority of the natives as
friends who had got the best
of them for a time, and whom
it would be pleasure at some
day to get even with and throw
out at the polls. The "Repub-
lican" Party Of 1898 is looked
upon by the unanimous native
majority as enemies. Nothing
that can be said or done seems
to ameliorate that feeling. The
Hawaiian will listen patiently
to all exhortations and expos
tulations of men whom he has
known to be his friends, ant
who want him to accept tn,
situation and reconcile himsel
to the established condition

of enjoying, on the 11th of June,
a race between Bert Lee and Fred

about that race while ago, and
it is a satisfaction to learn that it
will come off ut last-that is if
neither of the contestants get sick
or mad. Aupunj is here and may
also enter in the race, which will
make things yet livelier. Bert
Lee was worked little last Sun
day and made two mile-he in
respectively 2:36 and 2:33. If
the report is correct Fred Mac

FROM EAR TO EAR.
A Man Found With His Throat Cut,
at Duluth, Mimi.


DULUTH. Mimi, Nov. 16.-With his
throat cut from ear to ear, an IN
known man lies dying at st. Luke's
hospital this city and the deepest mys-
terry surrounds the case. Who the
mar is. or how he came by Ibis in
juries, the police and the doctor who
took him to the hospital refuse to
state. The man. who is not over 20
years of age, a short, well-built young
fellow, with smooth face and blue
eyes. is known at the hospital as
Charles Benson, but that is simply
name he was given by the hospital
people when he was brought in. Early
last Sunday morning Benson was
taken to the hospital by Dr. James
McAuliffe and an unknown man. so
the hospital people say. but this is
denied by the doctor. who says he
knows nothing of the case.
The wound in the mans throat had
already been dressed when he was re-
ceived at the hospital. and the at
tendants were instructed to see that
he wanted for nothing. All attempts to
find out who the man is or how Re
received his injuries are discouraged
by the police.
DR. McAuliffe and the hospital au-
thorities say the man will die without.
being able to explain it. It is reported
tonight that Benson is in reality a
wealthy young man from one of the
larger cities. who came here to visit
supposed absence of the latter from
the city. The husband returned IN
expectedly and. finding the young
man and his wife together. drew
knife and attempted to kill the de-
stroyer of his home
