After 1t became an assured fact that O
jury, or perhaps several juries, would be
authorized by Chief Justice Bingham in
the condemnation proceedings for street
extensions under the highway act, the con-
test among thenttorneys was for precedence.
Upon hearing today the chief justice
remarked that lie could not see why ii was
important for any one to be the pioneer,
nor why such position should be desired,
but the explanation came from several OF
the counsel that the intention was, and the
exigencies justified it, TO get that particu-
lar case up first that would best test
the temper OF Congress upon the question
OF appropriatiug funds for continuing the
proceedings.

nison & Leighton subdivisions, represented
by Messrs. Chaplin Brown, W. L. Cole, Ma
thaniel Wilson and others.
Mr.. Wilson addressed the court in advo-
cacy of the last mentions interest. and so
his order III favor OF Ingleside. He stated,
however. that he was interested in both,
and that 1t was wholly immaterial TO him
which should precede. He had named Ingle-
side because the attorneys for the District
had expressed desire to take up that sub
division.
LARGE INTERESTS INVOLVED.
W. L. Cole said case 419 involved 4
small subdivision, but large and important
interests. There is no single street, he
stated. of more Importance to the system
than Sixteenth street, and II Congress

that il would in a case where a thorough
fare SO important passes through 4 section

Creek Park, and would give Ii preference
over one where there are but few houses
constructed.
Gen. Birney aud Attorney McPhcrson
also participated in the discussion, and
the court finally urtiered that jury be
summoned in case Na. 419, the Dennison
Leighton subdivision. The jury will
be impaneled Monday fno rning and viii be
governed by the rules in the case OF an nr-
dinary jury-that is to say. a man who has

FRIENDS AND FOES.

The papers published under the
nose of Mr.. Cleveland come out
oftenest with naval expressions
favoring Hawaii. At Washington
there is no concealment OF the tact
that about every man aboard a
white cruiser, a new gunboat, a
cutter or an old type vessel, has de-
clared for annexation. The truth
of the matter simply is that the men
of the navy know what they are
talking about. Instead Of accept
ing competent opinion and capable
advice, Mr.. Cleveland chooses spec
ial agents to gather material toi
combating patent truths. On this
line his failure has been signal.
At this time the President OF the
United States takes the position
that Hawaii bears to the big Re'
public the relation of any Other
foreign land. He is the first eX-
ecutive at Washington to assume
that unique stand since HAWAII
came to be known, eighty years OF
more ago, as land where Amerl'
canism predominated. Mr.. Cleve'
land has essayed to be original or
several lines. He has put forth new
ideas on public lands, on Office
holding, on finance, on shipbuild
ing, on tariff, on national and loca
politics. In every instance hi
ideas have spoiled in crystallizing
So there is hope for Hawaii, de
spite his pronounced opposition.

abroad are legion. They rule tn

"THE HOLY TERROR,

One day the Marshal Of the Re-
public was referred to in this paper
as "a holy terror" The name
sticks to Mr.. Hitchcock. The
rebellion brought out" number
of men. None of them developed
greater capacity than the Marshal.
His services has been simply in
valuable. Our picture of the Chief
of Police today will be accepted as
a good one.
E. G. Hitchcock, brusque, yet
cordial, was born in this country, OF
American parents. He has great
aloha for the natives. Mainly
through his efforts the Hawaiians
have been trained to their high
state of efficiency in the constabul-
airy. He knows them like book
and can handle them.
The Marshal was for years Sher-
iff of the island of Hawaii. 1t was
while conservator of the peace there
that he displayed talent for dealing
with crime and suppressing dis
order. The citizens presented him
with a diamond studded gold
badge at Hilo. Mr.. Hitchcock
has had many adventures on the
islands and has always shown
bravery, good judgment and pres
ence of mind.
On Hawaii the Marshal has land
and coffee plantation interests.
Sometimes he threatens to leave
Honolulu and go to his old home
The people, proverbially selfish and
inconsiderate, want The Holy
Terror" to remain right where he i:
