THE SUICIDE Of A SAILOR
A NATIVE LEAPS TO DEATH OFF
\ STEAMER.
In the Crew of the Kilauea llou-
Swan from observation-disclosures Crazy
Over City Woman.

A native sailor named llookano on
the steamer Kilauea llou committed
suicide by jumping overheard from
that vessel while she was lying at
anchor ut Mahukona yesterday morn
ing. Hookano acted queerly on the
trip up. When the steamer was two
days out he complained of being sick
and went below. He came on deck AT
intervals and talked in an irrational
manner. None of his shipmntes could
understand him. He did what work
was assigned to him.
About twenty minutes to three on
Thursday morning Il splash was heard
and some of the sailors looked over
the railing and noticed Hookano in the
water. An order was given to lower
II boat. As the boat struck the water
the man started to swim away. TIL,
men pulled toward him, when h,
divcd down and that was the last seer
of him. although the men lowered
about the spot for nearly an houi
| Hoolano was II good swimmer. The
/ supposition is the current took hin
to sea. The steamer was some distance
from shore. Mr. Fraser, of Mahukona
was requested TO notify the sheriff o
the occurrence. The Kilauea Ilou lief
Mahukona for Kawaihoe.
The mans shipmntes believe Hoo
kano lost his reason aad committee
the act while in tnat state. He ha,
been deserted by woman in Homo
lulu about two weeks ago and he ha
never been the same since.
He had told that n kahunu was pray

The Dispensary Rottenness.-

WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-The Philadel-i
phia Press to-day prints long story;
from Columbia in connection with the
Mixson scandal and the dlspensary.
Following the dispatch ia an interview
with Senator Tillman admitting the truth
of the statement. Senator Tillman, in
conversation with Press reporter, ad :,
mitted, with manifest chagriD, that the
dispatches from Columbia, 8. 6, detail
ing disclosures Of improper practices on
the part of officials connected with the.
state Disssnsary Of liquors are probably
founded ON facts. Senator Tillnau said
tha' he had known for some time that an
investigation of such charges had been in
progress. In fact, Governor Evans has
consulted him about them. '.My advice
to him was to search the scandal to the
bottom and punish any person found
guilty; ii officials remove them from
office and then prosecute them criminalIy..
at that time the evidence die not seem
conclusive but my advices received since
seem clearer. The confession of Mixson,s
son, if authentic, should leave no doubt
There iD nc doubt that great deal has to,
be left to the honesty of men who handle
public funds. II they are honest they
will keep themselves clean. IF dishonest
they can get the better of almost any
system for awhile. All we can do is to.
punish them when detected"
