A CLEAR CASE OF BUNco.
A Shrewd Chap SsyinGles u Young
Englishman Out of $3.50.

Shrewd Chap SsyinGles u Young
EnElishman Out of $3.50.
Richard Godward, a young Englishman,
who came to this city several weeks ago
for the purpose of lettering mis- condition
financially, is now almost penniless. He
left his boarding house at AT 9Th street
Sunday morning a week ago and went out
for a stroll. While in the neighborhood of
the Executive Mansion he made the &C
quaintance of a man whose pleasant man
her made him feel as if he had known
him all his life. Together they went around
looking at the different public buildings.
and the young Englishman was so well
pleased with his new friend, who said his
name was Richard H. King, that he met
him the following day and several times
afterward
One day King told Godward that he was
looking for a partner in the carpet clean
ing business, and exhibited a card bearing
the advertisement of the Grown Carpet
Cleaning Company"
Il want a partner who has $780," he said
to Godward, land then We can make lots
of money"
He told Godward he had been awarded
prizes at the worlds fair for his chemical.
IF 1 had the $40O," said Godward. Il
would go in partnership with you. but l
only have $3.50"
King did not allow the little difference of
$50 prevent their becoming partners, and
accepted the $3.50 and a gold watch and
chain as security for the balance
King had taken Godward to his room and
showed him the effect of tine fluid on the
carpet, and Godward was under the belief
that in the near future he would be on the
road to wealth.
The day after he parted with his funds
it was arranged that he was to meet King
at a notary's office to formally enter into
an agreement, but King did not appear. and
yesterday Godward made a complaint to
the police. Last evening the detectives
investigated the case, but were unable to
find King, who had left his boarding house.
The police have good description of him
and will notify the authorities of other
cities to look out for him.

Honolulu, Aug. 14-(Per steamer Aus
tralia to San Francisco)-The senate
and house have ratified the cable con-
tract made by President Dole with u.
S. Spaulding, who will ask the next
congress for an annual subsidy OF $zoo'-
600. The contract signed by this gov
eminent grants an exclusive FRANCHISE
for 20 wears, but provides that the grant
shall not prevent any foreign govern
ment having existing treaty rights with
the republic Of Hawaii allowing any
snch government SO to DO, 10 land ca"
BILE upon the Hawaiian group for other
than commercial purposes, from any
point on the North American continent.
The government agrees to pay the
contractor an annual subsidy of $4,000
for 20 wears from the establishment of
telegraphic communication between
Honolulu and point at or near San
Francisco and the islands Of Hawaii,
Molokia, Maui and Kaunai, the sub
sidy to be paid in quarterly install
ments of $4,000 each.

sages, other than government mes

tractor and the United States govern
ment, not exceeding 81 per word, and

rates.
CASE OF ASHFORD.
The Hawaiian government has re-
ceived a communication from the Brit
ish government acknowledging that the
military court which tried those par
ticipating in the January uprising was
legally established.
The British foreign Office comedies
that every prisoner, with the exception
of V. v. Ashford, had a fair and i'm
partial trial. After reviewing the evil
dence in his case they. are of the opin-
ion that there was not proof enough to
convict and request that his conviction
be set aside.
Minister Hatch states that the an
swer to the British government has not
been made as yet. He declined to
state whether or not the Ashford con-
viction would be set aside as requested.
Ashford was convicted on a charge of
misprision> of treason and was SEN
fenced to one years Imprisonment and
a fine of $1,000. He was recently par
doned on condition that he left the
country. He accepted the condition
and is now in California.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The recent storms
played havoc with shipping along the
English channel and the coast Of the
Atlantic. The chief officer and five of
the crew Of the American ship Belle
O'Brien, Of Thomaston, Me-, landed at
Kerry Head, near Tralee, from small
boat. They were all in an exhausted
condition, and say that they left the
ship on Nov. IL, 100 miles northwest
from Kerry Head. Three of the crew
went adrift in the long boat. Fourteen
persons, including Captain Colley and
wife, were left on board. It is believed
that the vessel has foundered. She left
San Francisco June 10 for Queenstown,
and registers 1903 tons.
The violent northeast gale which has
prevailed along the British coast during
the past "a hours has caused the sus.
pedsion of the Folhston- Boulo gne serv-
Ice and the mail steamer was unable to
