WILLIS WON'T TALK.

Lands safe in San Francis CO. OIney De-
clines to Talk.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-Albert
S. Willis, United States Minister to Ha-
wall, is at the Occidental, having ar
rived from Honolulu yesterday on the
Australia. He is accompanied by his
wife and son, and says that his visit is
wholly without political significance.
Il am simply taking the annual sixty
days leave" he said, which is allowed
under the rules of the department, plus
the transit period, which is thirty-five
days in the case of Honolulu"
Minister Willis positively refused to
speak, even in the most indirect man
ner, on any subject of political nature,
but he talked freely about island affairs
in general.
"A great many young and active men
are now looking to the development of
coffee lands,' he said, land the results
are encouraging. Expert Barnard is
studying the possibilities in coffee. He
finds that the production is large and
that the berry is of a superior quality.
People are clearing off great deal of
the old crown lands Gardner Wilder is
interested in coffee at Hilo, and other
prominent men are likewise giving at
tention to that subject with encourag-
ing results.
L have noticed great growth since
went to Honolulu" continued the Min
lister, land / doubt whether the people
| fully realize its extent. There has been
remarkable development on King street
and they are opening up some nice
twenty-acre tracts for residence sites.
1.-The advance in the price of sugar
has encouraged the island people, and il
promises good times. There is also en-
enlargement in the pineapple industry
and in canaigre."
Minister Willis has grown quite stout
during his sojourn in the islands. He
| is delighted with the climate and the
people. He declared that many of the
stories published about his relations
with the Government were ridiculous,
but he would not discuss them in detail
A dispatch from Washington received
last night contains the following on the
subject of the Minister'S visit to the
| United States:
IF Willis refusal to participate in
the ceremonies attending the celebra-
ton of Hawaii's independence day, jan
uary 18th, has been made subject OF
official complaint by the Hawaiian Gov
eminent, the fact cannot be confirmed
Although Secretary Olney could not be
communicated with respecting the mat
| ter, it is believed that if there has been
such complaint it has not yet reached
the State Department, but remains to
be forwarded.
There is good reason for the belief
that the Administration felt that Mr..
Willis had acted without proper consid-
Grafton in this matter in view of the fact
that the present Hawaiian Government
has been officially recognized by the
United States Government, but there is
no evidence that the subject has been
the cause of correspondence between
the two governments AS to Mr.. Willis
return to Hawaii, that will probably be
left to his own determination

A communication from the Senate an
nounced the transmission Of Senate Bill
No. 81, amending Chapter 30 of the Civ
il Code, relating to corporations.
Minister King replied as follows to
the questions propounded by Rep. Ry
croft in regard to the new Puma road:
There has been expended ON this
road $S,21903.
Twelve thousand five hundred feet,
or 2.37 miles, have been completed, at
cost of 50, 053.4 per mile.
about fourteen and one-half miles
more or less of this road remains to be
constructed, in order to connect with
a road already made by r. Rycroft
from Pohoiki.

tendent of Public Works for the year

The following petition, signed by
eighteen dairymen, was presented by
Rep. Winston:
I'VE, the undersigned, licensees in
the business of dairying in Honolulu,
respectfully represent that we labor at
great disadvantage under the existing
dairy license law, which requires us to
pay license fee of $25 per year, and
entirely exempts persons who keep
cows for private use and sell their sur
plus milk. Many persons in this city
violate the spirit of this exemption by
keeping, without paying license,
more cows than they need for private
use, and at little or no extra expense
for labor and feed, and sell to custom
ers who only pay we'll This is unfair
competition.
Wherefore, we respectfully pray
your honorable body to amend the law
so as to require those who keep a small
number of cows and sell milk in any
quantity, however small, to pay the
usual license fee annually; all others
who sell milk to pay the present fee of
twenty-five dollars ($25)."
Petition laid on the table, to be con-
sidered with the license bill.
Speaker Naone announced the consid-
GRAFTON Of Senate Bill No. IL, relating to
licenses, on the order of the day.
Minister Cooper moved that consid-
GRAFTON Of the bill be postponed until
| Wednesday, on account of the unavoid-
able absence of Minister Smith, who
was fully acquainted with the bill.
Minister Cooper said he knew very lit
tie about the bill and was unprepared
to discuss it. Motion carried.

rations, passed third reading. Referred

Powers Slipped on Flight
of Steep Stairs.
Was Going Into Place Known
as Sunday BarrOOm.
Proprietor Arrested, but Released
After Investigation.

Coroner Lincoln, Medical Examiner
knight Street Station, spent the greater
portion OF yesterday in gathering facts
concerning.the death of William Powers,
a weaver in the Bassett street MILL who
dieo at his home on Dale street Sunday
evening. Sunday morning Powers left
his house and went to No. "a Dale street,
in the basement of which, it is claimed,
beer was sold. This basement is without
a window, and more dingy place could
not be imagined. The room is reached by
a narrow and steep fight of stairs, from
the landing in court, which runs from
Dale street. In some way Powers slip
ped and landed AT the foot of the stairs.
At the time It was not thought his inju-
ries were OF a serious nature. He was
ablo to walk home, but began to sink
rapidly, and in the early part Of the
evening died. %
Early the following morning John
Egan the supposed proprietor of the base
mept was arrested at his home OH Barrie
street and locked up at the knight streets
station. Later In the day the officials
were satisfied he was in no way respon-
sible for the death OF Powers end released
him. At the time OF the accident DIR.
Keene was called, who notified Medical
Examiner Palmer and 1t was decided that
Powers desth was due to conclusion Of
the brain, and that death YVES accidental.
I, The place where the sad affair occurred
has been known to the police for soma
time, but 1t is almost an utter Impossible
ity to collect evidence against any one
who sells liquor there, as the only way
to gain admission is by the steps upoa
which Powers met his death. About a
vear a0n however tho nOlipp diu cua-
ceed in driving Tom Egap, a brother
of the present occupant from the place.
The authorities are at present at work
trying to collect sufficient evidence to
hold John Egan for maintaining a liquor
nuisance, but will probably fail. as most
of the residents In that neighborhood
look upon a place of that sort as a
necessity.
Powers formerly lived ut Webster, Mass. :,
and the BODY was taken there for inter
ment yesterday. He leaves a wife and
two small children.

under the town ordinances. He testified
today that he did patrol duty every
Sunday at Woodville and Geneva. he
was paid for his services during July,
August and September, but has not been
paid since owing to the refusal of the
town auditor to audit his bill, as the lat
ter claims there Is no need OF the patrol
mans services.
A little incident III the trial OF the
case was when Mr.. Tanner asked the de-
fendant II he was not worker for the
Republicans OF the town, but +. ii.
Quinn. who was his counsel, objected to
the question being answered, but said
soto voce, "He is good one."
MIR. Tanner is Republican member OF
the City Council of this city and Mr..
Quinn Is one of the shining lights OF
Democracy in the Republican town OF
warwick. Mr.. Tanner said that his object
in asking the question was to show that
the Council was easy, or words to that
elect, while the town auditor who rep
resented the taxpayers did not audit bills
with the same alacrity that the Council
did.
Judge Wilbur said, "Mr. Tanner, the
plaintiff, may be worker and not own
the town council"
Tire matter was not carried any further
but the witness left the stand without
giving negative reply to the question.
The officers bill has been the subject OF
much controversy within the walls of the
pretty town hall and during the past
winter citizens of the town stood on the
corners of windy and dusty roads to dis
cuss the pros and cons of the matter.

For the first time in a long while the

tion until adjournment this afternoon.

tinued drunkenness and the commission
OF adultery, and asks for the custody OF
his two sons. The wife makes in addi-
