OPIUM BUSINESS.

The authorities have done very
well indeed in securing the SNUG
gler Henrietta and large quantity
of opium. The amount of the con-
traband taken is given by the Gus
toms people in their newspaper as
about 400 pounds. BY the same
medium it is indicated that the
entire original cargo was part of the
amount Of the seized and con-
demned drug sold from here to
northern coast parties about a
year ago. This outcome adds
immensely to the satisfaction Of
those who are naturally so pleased
over the overhauling of the Henri
eta after weeks of worry and cal
culation. 1t is extremely fortunate
that there was available such an
excellent source of information as
has been at the service Of the Ha-
waiian officials. The latter have
been advised from time TO time OF
the movements of the lot OF
opium and the men interested
in it, and too strong AN acknowl-
edgement cannot be made OF
the courtesy of the laws represent
tatives at the other end. Another
cause for congratulation is the
hearty and willing cooperation OF
the customs and police departments
here. They have worked hand in
hand without jealousy or friction.
The two naval reserves make a
strong combination able and ready
to work or fight aHoat an indefinite
period. They say the Henrietta
captain was formerly mate on a
small schooner generally pronounc-
ed an opium carrier when occasion
affords. Whatever his past exper-
fence, he this time displayed de-
gree of carelessness or fool hardness
that makes him laughing stock.
He and his men are in
serious pilikia and some Island
spectators will doubtless have the
chance Of bidding in the staunch,
but tubby schooner. At best, how
ever, Anderson and his men are but
tools and the actual violators of the
law are secure in person abroad and
in all probability planning another
enterprise of the same character.
The prospects of enormous profits
and the certainty of enlisting men
for such ventures insure continu.
ance of operations. Inquiry devel.
opes the assurance that there is now
plenty of opium in Honolulu ano
that there is no particular
CONSERVATION in the ranks
of either the dealers Oh
consumers. They are not fearful
of a famine. 1t is true then as
ever that no matter what the mis-
fortunes of the smugglers, or the
activity of the Hawaiian author
tiles, the evil remains. A contra
band article against which there
are reserve laws and a tireless,
and expensive vendetta is always
to be had and is freely used as ever.
Again, shall the bother and ex-
pense and illicit traffic continue, OF
shall the trade be brought under
tribute9

There are Two Principles Involved in the
Use Of this Filter:

FIRST Filtration. e., the removal of all inso
uble matter from the water, rendering it clean and
bright. In this the filter is practically perfect.
SECOND. Aeration-i e., allowing the air to be
brought into direct contact with the filtered water
it will be observed there no arescapes such all
other filters have. The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water.
This operation tends oxdize and aerate the filtered
water giving new life and vgor to it. In all other
filters scientists agree that filtered water has fiat
taste to it. Not in this For these reasons
gether with the perfect lock joint and easy method of
cleaning and taking apart and simplicity of construc
ton, these Filters recommended for use in every
house hold they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where they are being
sold in great numbers.
This lot which came in the "Aloha" is the first
ever introduced here, and ask all our friends to
come and see the most perfect Filter now in use.

MILLENNIUM AT HAND.
"The Watchers" Declare That at Noon
on Thursday GENTLE Time
Will End.

A strange service will be held in the AS
bury Methodist Church on Thursday even
ing. A new sect, called 1.-THE Watchers, 4"
who have large following in this city,
will hold watch meeting. The Watchers
have come out from all religious denomi-
nations, and they declare that Thursday
next is Creations birthd ", being the an
niversary of the first day of Adamic time,
as proved by scientific, astronomical and
biblical facts.
Rev. J. H. Allen, an evangelist of ac-
knowledged standing, will be the speaker
on Thursday evening. He has made deep
study of the scriptures, and Yields much
influence in this city among his followers.
He says that he has figured out the date of
the end of Gentle time as taking place
precisely at high noon on Thursday next.
AttLat hour all the Watchers will PROSTATE
themselves before the Almighty and for
several hours they will observe a very
solemn fast. The time mentioned as the
anniversary OF the first day of 'Adamic
time has been computed mainly by as
Economical data, and Mr.. Allen asserts
that the heavenly bodies, which, he says,
are and always have been the rulers of
time, will prove that this position is
correct.
In his lecture Mr.. Allen will give seven
chronological reasons why Christians NAV
hope that the resurrection of the righteous
dead and the translation of the living
Christians to heaven may take place dur
ing the year 1896 At Thursdays watch
meeting there will probably be some sem
sational scenes, as some of the watchers
are of the opinion that the stroke of noon
on that day will witness the end of the

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Salary Demands Must Be APP
proved or They Cannot
Be Discounted.
The Board of City Trustees Re-
quested to Consider the Plas-
terers' Claims.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Sept. 16.-City At
torney E. K. Taylor has advised that un-
der the municipal law salary demand is
not claim against the city until it has
been approved by the Board of City
Trustees. J. l.. Fast has volunteered to
discount salary demands against the city
treasury, but this will prove of little avail
to those holding such claims unless the
Board of Trustees come to their rescue. as
the latter will have to allow the salary list
before the claims can be discounted.
George C. Spray addressed the City
Trustees again this evening on the subject
of the $63 due plasterers, and $1S owing
the hodcarriers for work on the Long
fellow-school building at the West End,
and requested that they be considered.
The City Trustees were addressed be-
cause the Board of Education replied that
it had not jurisdiction over the matter,
the contract having been made with the
Board of Trustees. Knox IL Cook en-
ployed men to do the work without giving
bond for the proper performance of the
work, and they disappeared, leaving their
employees in the lurch.
Mrs. f. Roos of Railroad avenue, near
Foley street, is convinced that she has a
just cause for complaint, and addressed
the trustees this evening, claiming that
the erection of the new depot building
would result in great hardship to her.
She claims that the proposed location of
the freight yards will completely cut her
off from all communication, thereby dam
aging her property. She earnestly appeals
to the board for assistance.
Encinal Yacht Club Notes.
The members OF the Encinal Yacht Club
will hold private smoker next Saturday
night to celebrate the successful defense of
the challenge cup by Ell Sueno. A special
programme has been arranged of an
amusing nature. Plans for the new build
ing and the cruise of the 18th and 10Th
will be discussed.
The yachts Emerald, Volante and Little
Annie returned last evening from the
cruise to Sacramento.
Overhauling the Electric System.
City Electrician Weise is at work over
hauling the electric light and fire alarm
telegraph masts, the recent rainstorm
having emphasized the fact that a great
many of them are insecure, and that it
would not take much of a windstorm to
lay them on the ground. The low condi-
ton of the funds will prevent their being
replaced with new poles.
Distracted the Estuary.
The raft of piles which INSTRUCTED the
flow from the sewer to the estuary at the
foot of Staunton street has been removed,
partially remedying the trouble. A COM
plant was recently made to the Board of
Health by residents living in the vicinity,
who now declare that little dredging OF
the channel, which has shoaled by the OBJ
struction, would remedy the evil perma-
nently.
Diamond Cyclers' Club Run.
The Diamond Cyclers will make a club
run to Golden Gate Park and the Cliff
House next Sunday. About twenty five
members have signed the list, including
three tandems. The run will end with a
dinner at the ocean beach.

High School Athletes Raising
Money to Send a Team
East.
A COMPARISON OF RECORDS.
Crack Eastern Schools Are No Way
Ahead Of the Oakland
Boys.

QUO DIOduWdy, OepC. 10.
The movement to send team from the
Oakland High School East next year to
try for the athletic honors has taken
definite shape, and committee of five
is now at work obtaining promises of
financial help. The Interscholastic Ath-
letic Association will hold it's national field
contests at Mott Haven, New York. New
England will have thirty schools repre-
scented, New York eighteen, Long Island
five, and Pennsylvania twelve. The school
which wins the meet will be the cham
pion academic school of the world.
During last term similar trip was pro-
posed for a High School team. but it was
only spoken of as something that would
be a great event in the history of the
school, and not as something that was at
all probable. Now it is an assured fact.
The proposed trip is as follows: From
Oakland to New York via Denver and Chi
cago, from NewYork to Worcester and And
over, Mass, to Chicago, to st. Paul and
home. If date can be secured with the
Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland
Org. the team will return by the northern
route.
The most important question is that of
finances. To successfully complete the
trip at least $500 will be required. OF
this it is proposed to raise $500 in the
school, $3.50 from an entertainment, $500
from the alumni and $3.50 from the bust
ness men of this city. The remaining $500,
it is estimated, will be the share of the gate
receipts at the various games in which the
team will compete.
The crack schools of the East with which
the Oakland team will compete are An
dover and Worcester academies, in New
England, and Barnard School of New
York. a comparison of their records with
the records of athletes now in training in
this city shows that Oakland does not suf-
fer by the contrast. Following are the
figures:

Chief Lloyd May Be Brought
Before the Police Com
mission.
sECRETED TWO PRISONERS.
Attorney Ayers Says That Habeas
Corpus Proceedings We're Ille-
gally Blocked.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
QO8 broadway Sent IA


Attorney Ayers of this city thinks that
the Chief of Police exceeded his duty Fri
day, and says he will test the matter in
the courts and before the Police Commits
sion. Ayers was counsel for the man and
woman who were arrested here for en-
bezzlement, and who said they were hus-
band and wife. Mr.. Ayers story is as fol-
lows:
prisoners asking to see me. They were not
held by any warrant, and so / sued out writ
of habeas corpus. The wires were kept hot
between here and Los Angeles, and under
stand that five warrants were wired here be-
fore correct one was received. Captain Will
son was responsible for the writ not being
made re turnable till next day, as l applied for
it to be made returnable forthwith. The
officers from Los Angeles arrived in the court
room fifteen minutes before the argument on
the writ was heard. and the warrant was read
to them IN the courtroom. had a hack out
side ready to take away the prisoners as soon
as they were grandchildren liberty, as was Ger
tain they would be if the warrant had not ar
rived.
1t was known that the prisoners had money,
and that they had given certificate OF deposit
for 500 to a man in San Francisco. l wanted
to recover the money for the prisoners, and
the detectives wanted it to take to Los Angeles.
We went to the City and got the certificate OF
deposit. The detectives thought l caught the
last boat back to Oakland and they wired to
Chief Lloyd to take the prisoners out so that 1
could not see them. So the prisoners were
marched up and down the streets OF Oakland
till the first train went to San Francisco, and
then they took them to the Grand Hotel: In
doing this, and preventing the prisoners from
seeing their attorney, Chief Lloyd exceeded his
duty, and intend to see if he or any detective
can do so, as we'll as interfere with the
procedure of habeas corpus.
Chief Lloyd said tonight that he did
not fear any action on the part of Attor-
ney Ayers.
had the prisoners under arrest for embez-
element and while in my custody enough evil
dence came TO light to hold the man for
bigamy. Whatever did will bear inyestiga-
ton. The best proof that everything was
right and proper is the present condition of
everything connected with the case. The de-
tectives took their prisoners to Los Angeles
and finally got the money they had deposited
for safety.
Kinimans first wife testified that she had
been deserted. Kiniman said he had married
the old woman who was arrested with him
and she was wanted for embeZzlement. l am
very sorry If interfered with Attorney Ayers
plans, but | am contented with all that was
done. do not fear investigation of the COM
missioners, the courts or any body else.
