contraband cargo the schooner was
likely to bring to the Islands.
Acting upon this information
the local authorities kept strict
watch for the Norma's appearance
in Hawaiian waters, it being gen
orally suspected a portion of her
cargo would contain opium.
The schooner made her appear
ance while the country was in the
throes of revolution and, although
her arrival was duly reported to
the authorities, no action was taken
for the reason that more important
events demanded attention. The
Norma visited Maui and Hawaii
and finally came into this port IN
a disabled condition.
Customs officials state positively
that the schooner had opium
aboard and, not getting chance
to land it at or near Honolulu,
cached the amount-about 1000
pounds-at some point on the
Maui or Hamakua coast.
f. J. Claxton, q British Col
umbia Gamer and who loaded the
schooner, came here for the pur-
pose of disposing of the same. He
is said to have purchased the /
sloop Spray while here, but for Just .
what purpose is not clearly known, (
unless for trading between the isl
ands. The sloop has been al an
Choir for some time IN Pearl river
and, In view Of certain suspicious
movements, s close watch has been
kept upon her by the customs
authorities.
Early last week word was re-
eeived that the Spray Was prepar-
ing for q cruise Customs officials /
hurried TO Pearl hsrbor to keep f
trace Of her movements, but they
had their trouble for nothing, the
report being 3 false alarm.
Last Monday morning, however, I
the trim sloop disappeared from
her usual anchorage and several /
days elapsed before it was known
whittier she had gone.
Saturday morning word was
brought from Pearl City that the
Spray had gone after the cached
opium. Port Surveyor Sanders
secured the services Of twelve
men, boarded the tug Elem and
went IN search Of the SNUG
glsrs and their valuable cargo.
Il was proposed to first visit the
place where the opium IS said TO
be concealed, and If the sloop is
sighted lay off shore ont Of sight Z
and await developments. Accord
ing to arrangement the tug would
reach the point during Saturday
night and continue operations sun
lay.
Up TO late hour last night the
tug had not returned, consequently
regarding the success o. Z
failure or the mission can be sta
ted. Customs officials believe
there are several members Of the
smuggling ring aboard the Spray.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
McCalIum,s Theatre.

When Dion .Boucieault wrote London
Assura nee he had hit one object and that
was to write a comedy which would keep
an audience in a good humor from the
rise of the curtain to the fall and he most
certainly was successful, as yesterday
proved when it was presented by Mr.. Nc
Callum and his company at Peaks 1t is
an old play, but new to the patrons of
the Pavilion and judgingEby the applause
and laughter it will prove strong at
traction. The scenes and situations are
most amusing. 1t is put on in most
excellent manner and the company most
com petent. Miss Bingham played Lady
Gay Span ker in a faultless manner and
gave performance of the most difficult
role equal to any Lady Gay ever seen
here. She could not find a part more
suited to her than the one she plays this
week. Mr.. McCallum was also at home
as Sir Harcourt and gave an excellent
performance. Misses Leigh and Ingram
were also seen to good advantage. The
Charles Courtley of Mr.. Horne and Daz-
zle of Mr. Pascoe excellent pieces of work
and deserve great credit In short every
member of the cast this week is good.
A Memorial to Booth.
The actors of New York have deter
mined to begin the work in earnest OF
raising funds for monument to Edwin
Booth An open-air performance of g AS
You Like IT, will be given on the histor-
ical and beautiful grounds of Mr.. N. B.
Stevens, Castle Point, New York, on
Aug. s, at O'Clock in the afternoon, or,
if that day be rainy, on the first falr day
succeeding The cast has been chosen,
and is now rehearsing daily in the Fifth
Avenue Theatre.
Miss Marie Wainwright will take the
part of Rosalind. Frederick Bond will
play Touchstone; Nathaniel Hartwigg,
Orlando; Lawrence Hanley, Jacques, and
Amy Lee, Audrey. Other parts will be
taken by Carleton Wells Evelyn Evans,
Harry Courtaine, Ernest Elton, Henry
Doughty, Erskine Lewis, Millie James
and Isabelle Pitt Lewis. The play will
be produced under the direct on of Mrs.
Stev ems and Miss Florence Gerald.
1t is proposed to have statue OF Edwin
Booth erected near the one Of Shakespeare
on the Mall, which he helped to dedicate.
The Park Commissioners have already
consented to furnish the site as soon as
the funds are raised and the sculptor en-
gagged The work will be placed in the
hands of an eminent American sculptor,
and should be an honor to the man whose
name is thus fittingly perpetuated. Cas-
tie Point, as everybody knows, is the
garden spot of Hoboken. 1t would be
hard to find anywhere more fitting spot
for an open-air performance of Shakes
peare's delightful pastoral.

pretty full summary OF the report OF
the New York State committee to
investigate the New York police. 1t
is last months news, but our local
news OF last month, still extending
into our columns in the shape Of
state trials. has caused much inter
esting foreign news to be deferred.
The Lexow committees report, call
ed after the State senator whose
resolution originated the iuvesti.
cation, is one Of the most startling
revelations Of the age. 1t ought to
be productive OF lesson whose in.

ing that eternal vigilance is the price

ment, unless the majority OF the
governed take to themselves their
