Now we are informed of a new
combination which is to smother
Claus Spreckels and place Mr.. Jones
at the head of sugar trust in Ho-
nolulu, which easily can conquer the
great trust OF he States. Poor
Spreckels will probably manage to
weather the storm. He has been in
the swim before and even the ap-
pearance of Jones, Esq. does not
seem to worry him very much.

1t is absurd to believe for a min
ute, that the small combination of
Hawaiian planters has defeated
. Claus Spreckels. Why should it?
Has Spreckels ever done anything
to the planters of Hawaii which
could justify them in adopting a
hostile attitude towards him2 We
do not think so. We believe that
Claus Spreckels has been the best
friend of the Hawaiians. He may
have made money for himself. Why
should he not do so? But he has
given, guild pro quo in every in
stance.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-11

The San Francisco papers which
have been bribed to take up the
cause of the Hawaiian planters de-
vote also considerable space to stat
ing that Claus Spreckels is candi-
date for United States senator for
California aud that John D. Spree
kels is the coming governor of Cali
fornia.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-11

Men like Isenberg and Davies may
refuse to abandon the common in
terests of the planters in Hawaii
and they may through honorable
motives decline to enter into special
contracts or arrangements. They
will unhesitatingly refuse, we feel
sure, to become the tools OF Mr..
Jones or willing to assist him in
building refinery in Honolulu.
The planters of Hawaii will stick
together. They will not desert each
other. Their interests are mutual.
But when the question is to decide
if Jones or Spreckels is to be their
leader, common sense will bring
them back unto the old fold and
Mr.. Jones will have wide field all
to himself in which he can attend
to his church work and his fight
against Claus Spreckels. Woe to
those who follow him.

 The bill for state reformatory which was favorably reported in the legisla- ture Wednesday is attracting much att tention. It provides for an institution to be located in New Haven, to which male and female prisoners may be conn mitted. The erection of a $100,0 900 bulld- ing will probably be necessaary.

 Lowestoft, May 19.-The fishing smack Vandura of this port reports that on Thursday when fifty miles east-south- east of Lowestoft she sighted g. large bark in a sinking condition. Her pumps were choked and she was showing sig nals of distress. A gale was blowing at the time, but the mate of the Vandura and one of the crew went to the bark in a small boat. The Vandura sailed around in the vicinity all night but saw no lights. In the morning the bark and the small boat had vanished without making a sign or sound.
 Shortly after the arrival of the Van dura two smacks arrived bringing the Vandura's small boat, which had been stove. and the bodies of four men, in- cluding that of the Vandura's mate. There was a large gash in the mates forehead. On one of the bodies was found a knuckle duster. It Is conjec- tured that the small boat took off some of the crew of the bark and they be- came panic-stricken and struggled and fought with their would-be rescuers.
 Nothing is known of the other men who were on the bark, and 1t is sup posed they were lost.

Sad Ending to Steam Launch Party on
 Sunday Near Hatfield.
 Northampton, Mass, May 19.-There was a distressing drowning accident on the river near Hatfield this noon in which Dana Belden, aged twenty-seven, of Florence, lost his life.

 F. l.. Belden started for the shore, about 150 feet away, but his brother Dana Belden, brought him back to the pier on which the rest of the party were standing, with their heads just above water.

DECISION EXPECTED TO-DAY
BELLEVED INCOME TAX LAV IS SET TILED ONE WAI OR THE OTHE

The Supreme Court of the United States Will Meet in Session To-day--It is Not Believed That the Announcement of the
 Income Tax Case VIII be Made Until in
 the Afternoon.
 Washington. May 19,-The supreme court will reassemble tomorrow after a recess which began with the close of the reargument of the income tax cases on the 9th. It is expected the decision upon those cases will be an- nounced tomorrow, but it Is not ab- solutely certain this will be done.
 Past experience has shown that even when members of the court itself have expected that a certain case would be disposed of it has been put aside for further consideration or for some other reason at the brief conference of the justices, which always precedes the converting of court on decision day. Whether or not this will happen to- morrow Is more or less of an uncer- tainty, but one fact seems conclu- sively established-that the fate of the Income tax law has been definitely settled one way or the other. That point was settled when the court met in conference on the 11th instant and Justice Jackson announced his views and cast his vote. There is nothing in the rumor that a further consultation is necessary before the decision can be stated.
 Should the chief justice announce the opinion and judgment of the court to- morrow this announcement may not be made until some time after the court convenes at 12 o'clock. Decisions are expected tomorrow in about twenty cases, some of them of considerable i'm portance, which have been under con- sideration for months.

Japan Is still obstinate.

St. Petersburg, May 1S.-In view of the doubt prevailing as to the actual settlement of the questions pertaining to the far east it Is necessary to note that Japan, in renouncing the Liago Trug peninsula and Port Arthur, dealt with the protesting powers--Russia, France and Germany-in quite a dif- fenent manner from that in which she dealt with the questions of the occupa., ton of Wei Hai Wei in which she and China were solely concerned. Japan, it Is now state, will evacuate the Liao Tung peninsula when she receives a special indemnity for so doing. This indemnity is quite distinct from the war indemnity stipulated for in the treatE of ShiIEQall10sQkk

 Berlin, May 19.-The Hamburger Mach richten in the early part of last week originated a report that the entente en- tered into by France, Germany and
 Russia in regard to the Chino-Japanese treaty of peace extended as far. as to embrace the Anglo-Egyptian question,
 this, of course, at the behest of France. The majority of the press of Germany highly approve the idea that closer re- lations with France can be obtained through common action against Great Britain territorial greed, but the Ham burger Nachrichten, which Is tacitly regarding the views of Prince Bismarck upon all political subjects of import ance and all matters of international concern recurring to the subject warn Germans against taking too optimistic view of the results to be obtained from concerted action with France.

Interviews to be Published Regarding the
 Presidential Nominee.

Boston, May 19.--The Globe tomorrow will publish the result of interviews with leading New England republicans on the probable presidential nominee to be supported by New England dele gates in 1896. The article says:
 Many were disinclined to talk, as- signing as the reason that it was rather early yet to make presidential nomi- nation. Some said they thought that Mckinley was the logical candidate, but would rather not offend MT. Reed by saying so. The politicians in Boston who were interviewed were not enthu- slastic over anybody in particular. They thought that as matter of pride MT. Reed would receive the support of the New England delegation, If he desired their votes in the convention. Maine, of course, is strong for Reed, and her leading republicans predict that he will have the solid New England deiega- ton.
 Connecticut and Rhode Island, on the other hand, are Squite positive that MT. Reed cannot control the New Eng land delegation, and say they expect to see the nomination go to a western man. New Hampshire and Vermont are not as enthusiastic as Maine nor as doubtful as the two southern states of New England, but would without doubt swing in line for Reed were the other states, including Massachusetts, to favor him, which seems likely.
 The situation seems to show that while MT. Reed has a strong hold on the hearts of the New England people, he cannot count on the New England dele gation as unite, owing to the attitude of Rhode Island and Conneoticut.
