and proceeded on his way Things
were all right until he reached the

With the help Of several young men
temporary repairs were made and he
was able to go on. He passed through

Death of Mrs. TreglOan.

J. D. Tregloan received the sad
news of the death of his wife by
the Coptic. Mrs. Tregloan left
here some weeks ago by the bark
Albert, intending to spend some
time with relatives in the Bay
City. She was in good health
leaving here, but was taken i'll
shortly after the vessel left this
port. The Albert was delayed by
calms, the trip being the longest
yet made by the clipper bark.
During the time Mrs. Tregloan
suffered intensely, medical atten-
ton being impossible, as she was
the only passenger. When off the
Heads the Albert flew distress
signals. A tug with physician
was sent out and the sick lady,
then unconscious, was conveyed to
to the home of her married sister,
where, a few days later she died.
Mr.. Tregloan has the sympathy
of the community in his bereave-
ment.

Chinese Wrestlers.

Chinese wrestlers in this city,
but when he does, and two of them
come together for a friendly en-
counter, then he is ready to say
in good faith, he has " seen a cir
Gus" In a dirty lighted room on
Nuuanu street the other night a
little knot of a dozen or so Chinese
sports gathered together to see
two recognized professional Chi
nese wrestlers try conclusions
with each other. The two came
out from little ante-rOOm each
with but a scrap of clothing on.
Upon arriving in the middle of
the floor they bowed and eyed each
other for fully two minutes.
Recognizing that time was pass
ing they set to work. The wrest-
ling was very peculiar and it was
learned, was the kind used in the
north of China, from which place
the best opponents of the art come.
1t consists of a series of pushes,
kicks and lodges which follow so
quickly upon one anOher that it
is hard to tell which is which.
The climax was capped by one of
the contestants hitting the other
in the face fiat-footed. He SPIRAL
ed over and the victor put his foot
on the vanquished, initiating at
the same time the growing of Il

Seven political prisoners were
pardoned yesterday morning. AT
9 o'clock Minister Cooper, Marshal
Brown and Interpreter w. L. Will
cox went to the Jail and read the

were called up and informed that
clemency had been granted them.
They were w. H. Richard, T. B.
Walker, Robert Palau, Kamaina,
Thomas Poole, Ablehama, Kauai.
When the pardons had been read
Richard and Walker made a few
remarks, thanking the Government
for releasing them. They expressed
deep contrition for the part taken
in the late uprising, and promised
fealty to the Republic.
Messrs. Richard and Walker
were seen later during the day and
expressed themselves as being very
much pleased to have their liberty.
Both OF the men look well, especi-
ally Richard, who has materially
improved in health.
1t was generally expected that
