SUGGESTION MADE TO THE PILOT
AND POLICE CREWS.
Rowing Association Says the Decision
of the Judges Is Final-Two More
Numbers for the Regatta.

The Rowing Association, to whom
was referred the protest of Captain
McCauley, incident to the whale boat
race on July 4, held meeting Monday
Afternoon. 1t was officially decided
that it was not within the power of
the Association to interfere with races
in the manner prescribed, those mat
ters being entirely in the hands of the
Judges. 1t was decided, however, to
suggest to Marshal Brown that the
race be rowed again. This will be sat
isfactory to Capt. McCauley and may
be conceded by the Marshal on his
return from Hawaii.
The Regatta Committee of the Row
ing Association held another meeting
Monday Afternoon and decided to add
two more races to the program for
September 10. They are ten-oar and
siX-oar barge and will be numbered
II and ~. 1t has been suggested that
"A miniature yacht race also be had.
There are half hundred of these
ready to enter. The objection to such
an esvent is the length of time it will
talle-perhaps on hour or more. How
ever. the matter is under consdera-
ton and the race may be added as n
closer for the day.

CAPTAIN OF co. G, n. G.. H., HAS
DROPPED OUT OF SIGHT.
Strange Actions--Off His Mental Bal
ance-The Cause-Left Home Armed
Searching for Him.

John Kea, clerk in the Office of the
attorney general and captain of Com
pany G., has disappeared. He had been
acting queer" since Saturday morn
ing, and Monday morning left his
house not to return. All kinds of
rumors concerning his disappearance
have been set afloat and the gravest
fears as to the fate of the missing man
are entertained
There are hints of family troubles
at the bottom of the mystery. Mrs.
Kea has been visiting several months
on Hawaii. She returned from Maui
by the Claudine Sunday morning. A
few days prior to her return the other
woman in the case left. Kea was not
right after this. Saturday morning
he did not turn up at the office of the
attorney general, but sent word that
he was i'll. All that day and Sunday it
was noticed that he was very eXcitable
and talked in an irrational manner at
times.
Monday morning he told his wife he
would return to work. Upon starting
out he buckled on his revolver and
took his rife. Turning to his wife he
told her that he would shoot anyone
who might follow him or watch his
movements. So far as known the man
has not been seen since. AS soon as
Mrs. Kea ascertained that he had not
gone to the Office. she sent word there
that he was still sick. This was done
with the idea that he would return
during the day.
All afternoon, Monday night and to-
day the poor woman has waited for
news of her missing husband, but none
has come. She refrained from inform
ing the police on account of the pub
Lefty that would be given the matter.
Several close friends volunteered this
morning to search for the man and
have since been out over the town. At
first it was suspected that he had gone
to Molokai, hut this proved to be not
the case.
The general impression is that the
man was out of his head Monday
morning when last seen. This gives
strength to the idea that he has per-
haps made way with himself
LATERAL o'clock this afternoon
Enoch johnson states that Capt. John
Kea drove past him on Maunaliea
street about o'clock Monday after
noon. The missing man was coming
from toward the old fish market and
was going in the direction of Smiths
bridge. Both men were in hacks.
johnson says the vehicles passed so
quickly that he did not have time 10
speak. He admits also that there is a
possibility of his being mistaken in
the man, though he is firm in the be-
lief that it was Kea.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock does not
'iiiiN the ihdttei very SeiiouS' lie pc-
lieves Kea has had Il little tiff with
his wife and is simply staying out for
few days. He states that the miss
ing man has had brushes with his wife
before and on such occasions would &c
away.
The search still goes on. All the
members of Company G are keeping
more or less of a lookout for the man
this afternoon. The police are also
looking for him.

MephIstO-The Fox.
From Longman's Magazlnl

From Longman's Magazine.
Here comes old Mephisto himself! Look
at him. grinning as he trots along. and
looming red against the white of the snow.
1t is Reynard, following in poor old crazy
Mr. Hare's tracks, and tracing every de-
Walton made by that amiably eccentric in
dividual, a a slow but steady trot. This
will bring him close to our ambush, unless
he first detects our presence here. He GER
tainly looks very handsome, though eX-
tremely wicked withal. That grin C. his
is a most diabOlic grin; 1t says as plain as
words: Il shall have this fool of a hare
to-day, for he's getting cracked as they
make EN-, and ne Is close in front of me
a this moment, and when I've got him
shall give him what-for, because he has
led me many a dance for nothing. Ha, ha!
just little extra nip and bit of wor-
ry-won't he yell!'
Now, l am going to shoot this fox, for
several reasons. The first is, that l shall
not be hanged for it in this country; in
deed, no one will think the worse of me
for the act, but rather the better. Then
he is the evil genius of many worthy for
est people, besides silly old Mr.. Hare. II
is difficult to believe such things of any
one, but l have it on the best authority
that this miscreant is in the habit of muir
dering that heroic lady the Grey-Hen,
(wife of Lord Blackcock), as she sits upon
the nest which is shortly to be filed with
the little honOrables, her sons and daugh-
tiers; she will not fly in order to escape his
fangs but prefers to stand by her eggs
when self-preservation at length asserts
itself-not as the first, but as a subordinate
law of nature-and she tries TO escape, it
is too late. 1t is also true that this detes-
table ogre of the woods has fattened his
red carcass upon the helpless, toothsome
little ones of the willow grouse the wild
duck, and even Ghough scarcely dare 10
breathe the dreadful words upon the au-
gust little persons of the young caper-
cailzie prineelings! Surely all this is evil
dence for the death warrant of sucn an
arch traitor and rogue! he shall die in his
sins, and many lives shall be saved there
by during this coming springtime. Wait
a minute, let him advance just little
nearer, and then we will speak to him in
the voice of doom. Now then; up with our
guns and let them execute sentence upon
the culprit! But the culprit is an ex-
