rhwarted In Attempted Raid on
Store.
About 2 o'clock this morning two
sailors stopped at the Fort street
door of HOLSTER & Co. S store, cor
ner Fort and Merchant streets.
They were armed with q short iron
bar with which they intended max
ing an entrance to the store for the
purpose of burglarizing it. The lock
shield of the door was broken off.
While trying to pry the doors the
iron bar slipped and went through
the glass near the lock, making a
large hole and severely cutting the
hand of one of the men.
AT this the bar dropped upon the
pavement, making a loud noise and
attracting the attention of police
man at Phillips corner. The officer
knew that something was wrong
and blew his whistle. Help came.
The burglars ran away, but were
followed. They were caught neal
the boat landing and locked up.

ators McCandless, Lyman and Bald
win were appointed by the Chair.
All of the salary items passed
down to the matter of the japanese
interpreter and translator. This
was fixed in the bill at 81, 400 for
two years. Mr.. Brown thought it
should be raised to S3, GOO, same as
is paid to the Chinese interpreter.
Senator McCandless moved that
the amount be fixed at So, GOO, and
Senator Hooking $1,000. Con-
siderable discussion followed, after
which, on vote, Senator Hocking's
motion prevailed.
Senator Hooking made spirited
fight for an advance in the salary
of the clerk of the second Circuit
Court, Maui, from 5000 to $500,
but lost.
Owing to the absence Of the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, the appro-
priations for that department was
temporarily passed Senator Brown
gave SOFT of lobby notice that he
would assail the proposed appropri-
alton of $I sc, 900 for the support Of
the military for the next two years.
In the appropriation Of S2S, $40
for pay of Postoffice clerks, the
Minister of Finance called attention
to an advance of $1,000 over the
amount appropriated last year
The reason for this was that a
graduated system had been adopted
regulating the pay Of clerks from
$I25 down 10 $40 per month. Up
on motion of Senator Baldwin the
three items, pay of postal clerks,
pay of postmasters and pay Of mail
carriers, were referred to the
Finance Committee.
The item of pay for Customs ap-
praiser provoked discussion. Mr..
Damon said the officer had be-
come very important. 1t was pur-
posed to get skilled, trained spec
ialist from Washing ton at IS, 400
and assistants at a total cost of So, =
900.
In the Custom House the salaries
Of clerks had been reduced, one
clerk was added to the staff and the
office of Customs guager and tester
added to the general pay roll.
Mr.. Warehouse objected to the
item of $r4, 400 for pilots. He
thought they should get their pay
out of pilot fees. 1t would make
them more efficient.
Mr.. Damon explained that the
fees amounted to much more than
the salaries paid, and it was found
cheaper and more satisfactory to
collect the fees and pay the pilots.
Item referred to the Committee
on Commerce.
When the matter of the pay of
customs guards came up it was
noted that the amount was reduced
from $50, 24o to $I6, 500. Mr.
Damon explained that the future
policy would be to employ fewer
and better men.
AT IL o'clock the Senate adjourn
ed to 10 a. III. tomorrow.

thorough spiritual change on the
part of the unconverted. "Where

that it meant nothing unless there
was change in the subject and
that the entire new birth wa:
