THE CROWDS DIDN'TCOME
ONLY ONE-FIFTH OF VISITORS An
TICIPATED BY THE SENTINEL.
Maximum Estimate of Station En-
pIoyes, 2O,0OO-RafIroads Didn't
Do the Business They Expected.

The Sentinel stated yesterday morning
basing- its figures on the expectations of
the Bryan managers, that there would be
COO visitors in the city yesterday and
indeed it seemed Monday as if the esti-
mate might be correct, considering the wide
advertising given to Bryans four speeches
in this city. The expectations of the man.
ayers, however, overshot the mark, for the
highest estimate placed on the size of the
visiting crowd by Union Station employees
20, 600, just one-fifth the number in the
Sentinels estimate. Figures are given to
corroborate this maximum estimate of TO-
600. On the special trains there were lOl
coaches and on the regular trains several
extra coaches each, making in the aggre-
gate go coaches above the ordinary number
that come into the city. Estimating sew
enty persons to coach (the seating capac-
ity of coaches averages ffty-four), on the
regular trains and the special trains it
would be difficult to get the number over
20, 900. More conservative estimates would
make the total number 1900.
The Lake Erie & Western brought in the
greatest number having seven trains in
during the forenoon. The j., M. & l. made
preparations for large crowd, but the
officials were disappointed. The Vandalia.
the c., IT. & D. and the Big Four lines
all prepared 10 handle n much larger DuSl
ness than they secured. The Bryan man
ayers contracted for forty cars on the p.
q f., guaranteeing one hundred pasSen-
gers to the car, the excursion to be run
from all points on the line as far west as
Peoria. Despite the guarantee of the Bryan
managers only eight cars We're used by
them, with a total Of 653 people for these
eight cars. Although it Bryan

lowing: Bryan 49, Mckinley 49, sound

water closets for the school. At No. 81 on

Gorilla Thomas Goehegan, who is
equally as well known to the police in the

The men arrested had nothing on their
persons when searched which would tend
to incriminate them, but Maloney knows
them all wen, and is confident they were
working hard all day and that complaints
will be made to the police as soon people
discover that they were robbed. Goehegan
he arrested just as he had come out of Tom
linson Hall. Goehegan was working in
there with two men known as dice Box
Mcclure and "Nobby'' Myers, and the de-
tective thought they had given Goehegan
several pocketbooks to get rid. Of If they
did he got rid of them before the detective
got to him, for they were not in his pos
SSSion when arrested. 1t required the as
sistance of several patrolman to land him,
as he fought the detective. Trimble and
Copeland were arrested in front of the
Grand Hotel and the others were picked up
at the Union Station. All except Weber
were charged with lettering.
Four more supposed pickpocilets were
landed at the police station late last night.
One was a local man of whom nothing is

their names Joseph Brister, of Green

of the money question. Mr.. Miller is a very

his assertions with arguments to prove

Hon. ]. L. Grimths at Louisville.

Hon. j. L. Griffiths. of this city delivered
a speech at Louisville Monday night, and
the Commercial of Tuesday said:
MIR. Griffiths Impressed himself upon his
attentive audience as an able and powerful
orator worthy to take rank with some of
our national speakers Throughout his adj
dress he held the closest attention of his
auditors and was frequently compelled to
stop while the crowd cheered some telling
climax or witticiSm.
The Courier-Journal said of Mr.. Grit
fithSS speech:
1.-The crowd fairly let itself loose when
Hon. John l.. Griffiths was introduced. Mr..
Grffiths is short and fat, and seemingly
about forty years of age. In spite of his
avoirdupos, however, he is very active, has
a clear. strong voice and speaks with much
grace and ease. Time after time he
brought forth cheer after cheer from his
audience and when the meeting broke up
with three cheers and a tiger for McKin-
ley the general opinion was that the best
Republican speech by far of the campaign
in Louisville had Just been delivered"

Sugar from Java.

The Norwegian steamer Tyr ar
rived at Vancouver few days ago
direct from Java with a cargo Of
sugar for the British Columbia Re-
fnery at that point. The steamer is
under engagement for wheat load
ing at Tacoma for Calcutta, India.
This is the first cargo OF sugar to be
received by the British Columbia
Refinery in some time. 1t imports
all its sugar from Java. In former
years two cargoes were lost on the
passage out. This necessitated the
obtainment of supplies from nearby
sources, and several consignments OF
Hawaiian were sent up from San
Francisco. At present the refinery
has no imports on the way from any
source, and its present supply is
supposed to be sufficient to meet
the demands OF its trade for the re-
mainder OF the current calendar
years. +. Bulletin,

we're soon clear OF the steamer and

experienced by the rescuers in keep

were gotten into the lifeboat and
half an hour later, all hands were
safe on the Fiieshire.

Life is perfected by death" and It is also
revealed. A story told in the Life of Sir
Richard Burton" illustrates the clearness
with which death reveals man to his com
rades
A lieutenant in British regiment was
honest, steady, quiet and full of sterling
qualities, but he was dull, reserved and
religiously inclined. His brother officers
laughed at him and associated but little
with him. Though well born, he was poor
and had no powerful friends. He therefore
remained without promotion or society, but
he never complained and did his best.
A battery was to be taken in the Crimea,
and the lieutenant's regiment was selected
as the storming party 1t assaulted and
was driven back. The lieutenant rallied his
own company, and with laugh flung his
shake before him and rushed through the
breach into The battery, followed by hand
full of men. They never came out again.
That night at the regimental mess there
was not man but regretted that he had
not better understood the officer whose gal
liant death had revealed his superiority. All
remembered a thousand good qualities and
incidents which ought to have endeared him
to them. They were ashamed of the con.
tempt with which they had treated him and
of the fact that they had never shown him
the least kindness. Com panion

Much more than ordinary inter
est attaches to the trial of the ten
Waialua Chinese charged with re-
sisting police authority The de-
PENDANTS were raided by officers in
search of gamblers and the visitors
were, after a row in which there
was shooting and couple of men
wounded, disarmed and made
prisoners. After a couple of days
the Chinese were arrested and
brought to town. Bail was fixed
at 81 900 cash each and was fur
nished, Police authority must be
upheld at any cost. There is no
two ways about this. At the same
time the police must know their
business and keep within the
bounds and it must be conceded
and remembered that as a rule the
Chinese have wholesome respect
for the law and seldom transgress

There is no between season
in Hawaii no time when ice is

day in the year when the
pleasures aud profits in a good
refrigeratorarc not appreciated
