OFF IN HAWAII.
Progress in the New Republic-A Record
Breaking Trip.

San Francisco, November 13-The ORR
endal and Occidental Company's steamer
Coptic, arrived from Hong Kong. via
Yokohama and Honolulu, last night.
Among the passengers on thesCoptic
was Hon. f. M. Hatch of Honolulu, who
is on his way to Washington as minister
to the United States from the Hawaiian
Republic.
When seen aboard tn vessel last night,
Minister Hatch said: Everything is
progressing in a satisfactory manner in
Hawaii. The cholera is thing Of the
past and do not think we will ever have
another visitation. During.the epidemic,
business WAS almost at stagnation
point, and it told very severely on our
business people. But now things are i'm
proving, and in month or so the people
will have forgotten there was ever such
thing as a cholera scare. Ex-Queen
Liliuokalani is said to be i'll, but if she
is, I do not know it of my own knowl-
edge. AS to the Royalist party, we know
very little about 1t, and nearly all of
our information comes from the Ameri-
can papers"
Among the other passengers on the
Coptic was Major General Sabotitich,
who went from Vladiovstock to Yoko-
hama, and at the latter point caught the
steamer. He is en- route from St. Peters
burg. ''The trans-Siberian railroad is
being pushed very rapidly" said the
major-general, and it's completion can
now be safely figured upon.

MUST PAY UP.
Insurance LIoyds Must Pay AL D"oA
Taxes.

New York, November 13.-The hel"i"
says a blow has been struck at the Varl-
Gus combinations of presons known 90
Insurance Lloyds'' that is likely 10 oo
great deal toward making the 1uuui0
of the old line companies much prlgh'-
er one.
1t was made known for the frsG 0liuo
yesterday that Fire Commissioner ohei-
field, with the approval of the board anu
at the advice of JIG. Ecclesine. the as
sociate counsel of the commissioners
sent notification to the various Lioyos
associations in this city calling their az
tentlon to the fact that they were llaDle
to a tax of 2 per cent on their prouts
for each year. This tax is to be paid 20
the lire department for the benefit OF tne
relief bureau and as, according to the
showing of Lloyd associations, their col
lectlons OF premiums have amounted TO
millions of dollars within the last few
years, the relief fund will be increased
by quite $780,
There was hearing before the boaro
of fire commissioners this afternoon IN
regard to the demand of the commission
ers and the representatives of the Lloyds
will have an opportunity to explain why
bney nave nOG observed the law up TO tho
present time, as well as to tell why they
should not meet the arrears of tax.
The law has been in force since 1872
and the associations have absolutely
ignored it. If the commissioner deter
mines to collect the back taxes the pay
ment OF them will in ssall probability ruin
the weaker associations. Even the more
important of the associations it willTserl-
ously affect financially, and it will es.
tablish beyond further guess work just
what these associations are doing in this
state and what it's their responsibility.
That the matter will be taken into
the courts and contested, there is no
doubt. The fire commissioners are deter
mined, however, and 1T may be regarded
as certain that In case the fire depart
ment commissioners need oral support
they will get all they can carry from the
big insurance companies, who are sworn
enemies of the Lloyd associations.

six cars of logs, stopped his train in one
of the gaps of the hills to get water in
the river. just as he was going to start
his engine he caught view of bob cat
Having a rifle in the cab he took good
feet from the ground. The ball sped

He measured from tip of nose to the end
OF his tail feet and 12 inches
An Auburn lawyer, who cautiously
peeped into Townsend brook, Lake Au-
burns fish breeding place, from behind
bush the other day espied big female
salmon at work preparing the sand of
the spawning bed. She whirled her tail
briskly over the sandy bottom of the
stream, tanning little circle such as
Il boy might make in play. All the
while big male salmon balanced him
self near by, keeping away intruders.
Smaller salmon and trout were constant
1y fitting past on their way up the
stream. Whenever a school of them came
along the big salmon would dart upon
the group and butt with his nose. Sew
eral times he threw fish fairly out of the
water.
The Mechanic Falls water works arc
highly satisfactory to the people. A
horizontal stream from one of the hy-
drants which came through IS inch
nozzle was measured the other day and
found to be 1875 feet.

OBJECTIONABLE LETTERS.
Mrs. Adams Charged With Writing
Them About Her Nefce.

Mrs. Adams Charged With Writing
Them About Her Nefce.
A rather unique case came up for hear
ing this afternoon before United States
Commissioner Mills, when Mrs. Martha
S. Adams, an elderly woman, who resides
at 946 Westminster street, was charged
with violating section 1893 of the Revised
Statutes by sending obscene letters through
the mails. The complainant is Edward s.
Ryan, carpenter, who lives at 1910 Sth
street northwest.
Ryan is engaged to be married to Miss
Mary Ellen Ward, a niece of the defend
ant, Mrs. Adams Miss Ward, since the
death of her mother, about eight years ago.
has been living with her aunt, who. it is
alleged, does not wish her to marry, and
the charge is that Mrs. Adams mailed to
Mr. Ryan three anonymous letters inform
ing him that her niece, his faneee, was
guilty Of immortality and sundry other Of
lenses, hoping thereby to cause an es-
arrangement between the young couple.
Mr. Ryan, however, set about to discover
the identity of the author Of the letters
and the investigation resulted in the arrest
of Mrs Adams.
The parties in the case from all appear
ances are eminently respectable, Miss Ward
being an unusually attractive young
woman. Mr.. Ryan first took the stand and
testified that he received two of the letters
referred to. His mother, Mrs. Harriet s.
Ryan, said that the other communication
had been sent to her. Miss Ward, the next
witness, declared that the letters were
written by Mrs. Adams, substantiating her
allegation by remarking that she had lived
with her aunt for a number of years and is
familiar with her handwriting. Miss Ward
also said that when Mrs. Adams learned of
her engagement to Mr. Ryan she declared
that she would make her (the witness)
sorry and ashamed.
Lewis Tolliver, a colored caterer, who
serves meals to a party at 046 Westminster
street. Identified one Of the letters in evil
dence as one Mrs. Adams had given him to
mai on a certain morning in February, as
he was leaving her residence, after serving
breakfas. there.
The attorneys for Mrs. Adams argued
that the letters were not obscene, even had
they been mailed by the defendant. But, it
was added she was not the author of them.
Commissioner Mills ruled that a prima
facie case had been made out, and held Mrs.
Adams in 500 bonds for the action of the
grand jury. Miss Emily Smith Cook Of 946
Westminster street became surety in the
sum mentioned.
During the past week Miss Ward has left
her au1ts home. and is now residing at
1925 9Th street northwest.
