CORRECTIONS FROM MIR. cocHRANE

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Allow one OF your daily readers to ask for
two corrections In your article reporting the last
meeting OF the Presbytery OF NewYork. held In the
"Old First Church." April 20 last. This statement
occurs In your issue OF April 30: "Dr. John Hall
and DR.. John Bliss, who have known DR.. Cochrane

known me and my fathers family many years on
has never been introduced 10 me and. ike many
other Presbyters In New-York, has known me chief
form inside the Presbyterian Church. | have never
claimed to be either a y. u. or an NJ. D.. but pre-:
the prefix DR. 10 my name In your journal
was a typographical error or II may have originated
from the fact that my son. Duncan cochrane is
studying In college intending to become medical
missionary. CHARLES IL. COCHRANE

Rough on The Converts.

Mr.. A. D. McEvoy, of detective
fame, has evidently "got religion"
since he last visited Honolulu He
has written letter to the Adverti-
SCR in which he tells the Marshal
and the public that the reason why
criminal work is at dead stand
still' is that ''brother Yatman" has
been around with his revivals.
Detective McEvoy evidently knows
all about the revival business, but
we think it very uncomplimentary
for him to insinuate that the persons
who. frequented Mr.. Yatman's
seances here comprised the criminal
classes of Honolulu. If Mr.. Evan
gelist Yatman really converted the
criminals of Honolulu, they must
undoubtedly have been in his au.
dience. The impudent insinuation
is at par with calling Mr.. Yatman
"hrother". We don't wonder that the
evangelist skipped out and left
"brother" McEvoy behind.

Rudolph spreckels Wins

The first decision in the Spreckels
litigation was given by Judge Slack
this morning in favor OF young
Rudolph and against Claus Spreck
els and Anna Spreckels, his wife.
The decision sustains the demurrer
filed by Rothschild e. Ach, attorneys
for Rudolph Spreckels, to the COM
plant fled by his father aud mother
some little time ago. In this com
plant it was desired to have de-
clared invalid agift OF 100000 shares
of stock in the Paauhau Plantation
in Hawaii, on the ground that Mrs.
Spreckels had never consented to
the gift, and plaintiffs also asked
for an order enjoining Rudolph
Spreckels from collecting dividends
upon the stock. In his decision the
Judge said: To require a wife's
consent to gifts Of the husband
would lead to great confusion.
Banks would refuse to cash checks
until they were assured that the
money drawn against was not com
munity property, and corporations
could feel no security in transfer
of stock.
IT was admitted by counsel for
plaintiff that in the cases OF gifts to
servants, relatives or friends, the
consent of the wife might be pre-
sumed, aud this admission Judge
Slack says involves a surrender of
the whole contention, the defendant
being the son of plaintiffs. AS it is
further not alleged that Claus
Spreckels made the gift to defraud
his wife, the case also is open to the
demurrer on that point. If Mrs.
Spreckels knew of the transfer in
1898, and made no objection to it
for two years, hes remedy for her
lacher has all ready elapsed.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-10

To imagine that Mr.. Dole would
lower the dignity of Hawaii by
appearing personally as a mendi-
cant before a friendly government
asking that the independence OF his
country be destroyed and that he be
deprived Of an Office with $4,000
year salary is hardly fair to Mr..
Dole. He is not such patented
nincompoop as such an action as
that would indicate. He knows a
good thing when he sees it and the
government is, we are told, good in
the most superlative sense of the
word.-Alas, that the good die 80
young!
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-10

Should it prove true however that
such an annexation commission be
appointed we think it would be
proper for the nation to learn who
and what the trio are to represent.
Are they to go before Cleveland and
the American Congress and say that
they represent the people of Hawaii
or do they intend simply to tell the
truth and admit as the official organ
does to-day, that the Hawaiian Re-
public cannot stand on its own
merits, but must be protected by
some higher power (by the way we
had hitherto thought our rulers had
a mortgage on heaven)? Whatever
they do the result will be the same.
Hawaii will never be annexed to the
United States except the Hawaiian
people ask to be admitted into the
great Union. Another junketing
expedition will be waste Of money
and undignified for the country. But
the three gentlemen would of course
never object to have great, good,
and glorious time at the expense OF
the long-suAering Hawaiian tax
payer.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-10

The commission we are told will
consist of President Dole and Sena-
tors w. G. Wilder and Cecil Brown.
1t is difficult to believe that there is
any truth in the yarn but we are
beginning to be used to any kind of
vagaries on the part OF our ire
quently indiscreet rulers.
