Behalf Of the Various Candidates.

Members of he City Council who have
friends for whom they wish TO secure
nominations are at work this afternoon
improving the last few hours before this
evenings clucus, which, in al. proba-
bility, will decide definitely ON what men
are TO be elected 10 the contested positions
Monday afternoon.
With the exception OF the chief of
police, superintendent OF heath, inspec-
tor of buildings and inspector of plumb
ing who hold over, ali city officers,
other than those elected by the people are
TO he voted for in joint convention or by
concurrence.
is no question but that the present in
cumbents will be reelected.
The Offices in which interest is centered
by reason of the contest are the city
auditors, recorder OF deeds and supcrin- :
tendent of public buildings. The chances
OF the candidates remain practically the
same as they were yesterday.
Colonel Philip :. Chace and Deputy City
Treasurer Walter l.. llGrke, the two gem
ilemen who want 10 be Auditor, are both
reasonably confident OF success, and the
iriencs oil each admit that ne other is n
good man and q strong candidate, and IL
~ On open question as to which vii! win.
Mr.. MRgoon- -hA2 no intention of chang
ing his mind ana retract his Withdrawal,
Notwithstanding the fact that there are
good many men in the Council who
would be giad TO vote for him.
The friends OF Recorder OF Deeds Gus
iavus A. Williamson have come TO q
realization of the tact there is strong
opposition 10 his reelection and within
the last two days have been exerting
themselves TO keep him in the Office he has
occupied for ~ years. There are
four petitions out in his behalf,
three of them signed by the lawyers and
fourth, headed with he name of William
ii. Hall, was put in circulation this fore
noon among real estate men.
Mr.. Joyce, the first candidate TO come
into the field against Williamson, is con-
fident of success on the assurance Of many
o! o!theoCuncilmen-ele elect who have promised
him their support. MIR. Cady, who de-
cided Wednesday TO get into the fight and
yesterday changed l,is mind, has not yet
concluded whether he will run or not.
But little is heard about the efforts
of Councilman Durfee 10 secure
the position of superintendent of public
buildings ana those OF Mr.. Mansfield
to retain the position, but both candidates
are being locked out for by their sup
porters, and the success of either is an as
sured thing.
The caucus is called for 80 o'clock
this evening.

PANIC AMONG CHINESE.
A Drunken Native Told Them the
Japs Were Coming.

Chinatown was in an uprOar Sat
urday evening between Z and s
o'clock. A native named Hoano,
who had been imbibing too freely
of the fluid that inxtoxicates, start
ed on a run from near Kukui
street down Nuuanu to King cry
ing out in Hawaiian as he went
along: Shut up your shops,
Cinnamon, the japanese are on
the warpath and are after you to
take your lives. Heed my warn
ing for they are almost upon you
and are armed with the most
wicked looking instruments of war
fare"
The quiet of a few moments be-
fore was changed into a scene of
panic. Pigtails galore made their
appearance flying about in various
directions frightened cries and
squeals took the place of monoto-
nous notes of the Chinese fiddle !;
lamps were extinguished and doors
slammed without regard to hinges !;
the noise of boxes aud chairs being
moved inside the stores gave evil
dence of vigorous barricadiug oper-
atoms. Thus in a very few mo-
ments had the Cinnamon on Nuu-
anu street prepared a cold recep-
ton for the Japanese, whom they
expected at any moment.
In the meantime Hoano was at
the police station giving a rather
rambling explanation Of his &C
tions. He was locked up and the
charge of ''held for investigation"
entered against him.
The indignation of the Nuuanu
street Chinese knew no bounds
when they learned Of the joke
which had been played upon them,
but they were appeased when the
fact was made known to them that
Hoano had been arrested.

JOKE ON A DRIVER.
Stopped the Ambulance Wagon to
Light a Cigarette.

What is supposed to be a good
joke on one Of the ambulance cart
drivers is going the rounds. While
driving to the cholera hospital with
a patient from Kalihi Friday after
noon, he stopped on King street
near Fort and hailed passing &C
quaintance. The person approached
the cart and, after interchanging a
few words, drew a match from his
pocket. He gave this to the driver,
who bowed, scratched the match,
lit his cigarette and drove on his
way to the hospital. One of the
observers vouchsafed as an explain
alton that the driver was afraid of
cholera and thought it proper to
smoke as a preventive. Another's
opinion was that the man had be-
come so used to his occupation that
he had become careless, thinking
very little about the patient in
back.

1t has been noticed frequently
that in times such as the present
cholera epidemic, evil-minded and
spitefully inclined natures take
advantage of the occasion to spread
dastardly and untruthful reports
for the purpose of gratifying their
own wicked minds and gaining a
morbid satisfaction from the evil
effects of their actions.
Bright and early Sunday morn
ing there was seen pasted on the
corner of King and Nuuanu, Ala
kea and King, Emma and Bere-
tania, and ON Chaplain street near
Nuuanu avenue, posters written
with pencil in the Hawaiian Ian
guage. The one on the corner of
King and Nuuanu was on tele-
phone post just few inches from
the ground. One at the corner of
Emma and Beretania streets had
been removed before the arrival Of
the police officers sent out to col
lect all that could be found. Fol-
lowing is translation of the con-
tents of the posters:
NOTICE.
nKnow all men that /, the under
signed, hereby make public state
ments of what has been done among
us, the substance of which is as fol-
lows:
1.-TWO living souls were brought to
Makiki cemetery recently for burial;
their mouths were waXed and hands
bound. They were placed in collins.
At the burial ground, the collins were
opened. In one of them a man was
found; in the other, a woman. Both
were alive. They were taken out of
the collins and cared for and are being
cared for still. AT present they are
feeling better. They were questioned
as to the cause of said action. They
answered that they had received such
treatment because they would not
take medicine from the Board of
Health doctor. Oh! What a pity.
The aloha Alma committee ought to |
keep an eye on this. The collins were |
