FINDlNG
Return on the Marlin Trophy Shoot
Dispute-Blunt's Manual-There Is
Dissatisfaction.

Headquarters First Regiment Nation
al Guard of Hawaii.
Honolulu, II. H., Dec. ), 1896.
Special Orders No. 101.
The following opinion of the Court
of Inquiry, convened under Special
orders No. 90, for the purpose of con-
sidering the protest of certain mem
bers of Company b, First Regiment,
y. G. H.. in relation to the shoot for
the Marlin trophy, is hereby published
for the information of those con-
cerned:
I. The evidence shows that the cap
tain of Company b team was not pres
ent to represent and enter it at the
proper time, and the court is of the
opinion. that a team must be properly
represented before it can enter
match, and that the range officers
ruling was correct.
2. The evidence shows that Com
pany b team was not at the range at
the time that the shoot was ordered
to take place. and consequently could
not be assigned side by side with
members from active service company
teams. The court is of the opinion
that there was no favoritism shown
by the range officer, either to active
service or other companies.
3. The court is of the opinion that
it is THE privilege of the regimental
commander to detail any officer in the
First Regiment. n. G. H., to supervise
regimental shoots.
4. The evidence shows that it has
been customary for non-commissioned
officers and privates from the active
service companies to do the marking
i'm similar matches heretofore, for the
reason that it was almost impossible
to get members from the other com
panies to do the work; there is moth
ing in the evidence to show that the
work was not honestly and faithfully
performed, or that Company b of
fered to furnish markers. The court
is of the opinion that no injustice was
done the companies which were not
represented behind the butts.
5. The court is unable to find in
Blunt's Manual. regulations requiring
the range officer to read preliminary
the shooting commences, or at any
other time.
6. The evidence shows that Private
| Ewing's piece was accidentally dis
charged. Par. 617, Bunt's Manual
says: ''All shots fired by the soldier
after he has taken his place at the
firing point, and it is his turn to fire
the targets being ready, will be con
sidered in his score, even if his piece
is not directed toward the target, OF
is accidentally discharged" And the
court is of the opinion that the ruling
of the range officer was correct
And the court is further of the opin-
ion that the match was conducted
with perfect fairness, and without
showing favoritism to anyone. and
there is no ground for protest

After reading the evidence, and the
regulations and precedents governing

No further action being considered
necessary, the Court convened under
Special Orders No 90, is hereby dis
solved.

 would be glad to see such bill pass, as it is very well known that more money will be needed than will be brought in by present methods ofraising revenue. Prom inent democrats are credited with having expressed their willingness to allow such a measure to pass if the republicans will
 assume responsibility for it. Members who represent city districts and who are candidates for reelection will be sorry to see such bill brought up, because they know they will make lots of enemies whichever way they may decide to vote.

 Senator Platt's name has been mention ed and urged for the nomination of vice. president. It is needless to say that the boom was started in order to make a va- canoy for those desiring Senator Platt's present position. Senator Platt is want ed right where he is, and it is hopedsthat none of the efforts to dislodge him will succeed.
 The latest state conventions are more favorable to Reed. It has been reported that one of the most influential politicians in Indiana, and devoted friend of Gen. Harrison, said that letter had been writ ten to the general recently by leading re- publicans of Indiana, asking him if he would accept in case the St. Louis con- ventiOn nominated him. In response to this letter Gen. Harrison is said to have remarked that "being drafted aud volun- teering are two different matters" The inference is that he would accept the nomination. It IS hoped that this is true, and that Gen. Harrison will be the final nominee at St. Louis, as the republican party could not present at the polls next fall more safe and efficient candidate.

where . good many mistakes are
made. Some viii turn the boar

The boars should have lot separate
from the sows. II possible, have va

his services are required the sow can
be turned into this vacant lot and
they can consort for awhile through
the fence. This 10 . good plan, as
