Con. ISAAC Hull, better known to
everybody around the house end of the
capitol, where he has been the demo-
cratic whipper in for many years, as
"Ikehill," has just returned from his
Ohio home. He says Mckinley can
not possibly carry that state. "The
people won't stand it." he continued,
"they have got their hearts set on an
American system of finance, and moth
ing short of free coinage at the old
ratio will suit them. Why, I drove So
miles through the country in buggy
and met hundreds of my republican
personal friends who said, Ike, we are
with you against the gold bugs; Wall
street has run this country, and has
about run it in the ground. We want
a change, and are going to vote for the
Chicago nominee and free silver, The

MONEY LOANED TO FREE JAPAN
ESE TO LAND.
Flagrant Evasion of the immigration
Law-SiXty or More Cases-Customs
Officers at Work

The Government quarantine officers
are very busily engaged today looking
into the case of ninety japanese free
laborers, who arrived from Japan on
the Toya Maru on Tuesday.
When called upon to exhibit the re-
quired amount of money for any for
eigner to land in the Republic, name
ly, $50, each one of the Japs very
promptly displayed the money before
the eyes of the custom officers. They
were all permitted to land yesterday
but for few hours only.
Last evening some one gave the
secret away to a custom officer. 4
majority of the Japs had not cent
in the world but had been advanced
the sum by a Japanese immigration
company operating in Honolulu.
The men were recalled with some
little difficulty and great many of
them admitted that the money had
been advanced to them by an agent of
the immigration company in Japan.
They also stated that an agent of the
same company in this city had taken
the money away from them the mo-
ment that they landed.
The quarantine officers are institut-
ing very thorough investigation of
the matter. Those who are found 10
be without the full amount of money
required by law will be returned to
Japan Monday next on the same
steamer on which they came over It
is stated that fully sixty out of the
ninety will be compelled to go back.
OF the thirty remaining still to be
examined by the customs officers it is
not known how they will fare They
each possess $50 or over. but whether
the money belongs to them or not is
for the officers to determine.
This is something new for the Gov
ernment officials and a tremendous ef.
fort will be made to squelch any furth-
er practice of such methods, The inn
migration company and others con
nected with trick importation of these
free laborers in Hawaii in the face OF
the law, may be severely dealt with.

T" jim DODD POISONED
SOMETHING WAS AMISS WITH
FISH FROM A CAN.
Made the Diner a Very Sick Man
Two Physicians Helped Him Out of
Danger-An Investigation.

Jim" Dodd owner of the Pantheon
ing. Poison by canned fish was the
cause and Mr.. Dodd, thankful for his
partial recovery this time, has re-
solved to eat nothing but fresh fish
hereafter.
1t was this way: Mr.. Dodd ate
late lunch. Among the edibles was
some canned herring, which he had
purchased of Honolulu firm that
day. Being lover of herring the sa-
loon man had his fill greatly to his
own distress later.
At about 4:30 o'clock in the after
noon Mr.. Dodd was taken violently
ill. He began vomiting and had
slight attack of commissions. A half
hour later he was taken sick. Mr..
Dodd was removed to his rooms on
Hotel street by friends. Two physi-
clans were called and Immediately be-
gan working on the poisoned man.
Mr.. Dodd's condition looked quite
quick and effective assistance of the
physicians saved the patient long
and painful illness. Mr.. Dodd was
able to get down to his business late
this morning but did not remain long,
as he was complaining of his head and
stomach. The danger is all past and
the saloon man will be all right again
in a day or two.
The herring was inspected and
found to contain poison. 1t was
recent shipment from San Francisco
to Honolulu and bears the brand of
large American firm. The local house
selling the herring to Mr.. Dodd will
make a careful inspection of the re-
mainder of the shipment 1t is just
possible that poison might have been
| dropped in the can of herring after
Dodd purchased it.
II propose to know just what I am
eating hereafter or | won't eat at all''
| said Jim this morning, with vivid
memory of the experiences yesterday
afternoon and last evening. 80

INDIANS AT FOOT BALL.
Carlisle School Sons of Red Men Meet
Giants of Yale.

NEW YORK, October 2s.-Seldom
has there been such dissatisfaction
shown by the spectators at a foot ball
game as that shown this afternoon at
the conclusion of the contest between
Yale and the Carlisle Indian School.
In the first half the Indians surprised
the New Haven kickers by scoring /.
touchdown, from which goal was
kicked, in less than five minutes, and
the form thus displayed puzzled the
blue very much.
Despite their surprise, before the
half had ended Yale had secured two
touchdowns and two goals making,
the score IL to in their favor In the
second half Jameson, for the Indians,
scored a touchdown which was not al
lowed. The decision of Referee
Hickoll created much dissatisfaction.
Neither side scored in the second
half. The crowd surrounded the In
dian players, cheering them, and there
was not Yale cry to be heard. The
Indians played "A remarkably strong
game, and the only advantage Yale
had was in the trick plays. The In
dians repeatedly bucked the center
successfully, while Yale was success
fully repulsed in this play.
The tackling of the Indians was
fierce, but they were fooled complete
ly by Yale's revolving wedge around
either end. The Indians displayed the
greatest strength and effectiveness in
mass plays, but in open plays requir-
ing strategy Yale far eXcelled their
adversaries.
