ing been beaten to death. BY bit Of
strategy. four Japanese were arrested
for the murder and lodged in the jail
lat Waikiki.
An hour later a telephone message
was received to the effect that the
laborers. TO the number of 800, had
left the camp on their way to the jail,
saving that they were the instigat-
ors, and were equally guilty with those
who had been arrested. They would
ask TO be locked up, and if this re-
quest was denied, they would break the
jail open and release their companions.
On receipt of this message Deputy
Sheriffs Scott and Dow Immediately
ordered out the Citizens Guard, and
they. TO the number of 100, surrounded
the building, prepared to resist any at
tack which might be made. From the
camp it was learned that in addition to
the 300 Japanese from Camp 8, rein
forcements would be gathered from
Waikapu and Waikiki.
While waiting for the arrival of the
japanese. excitement ran high in Wal
luku, and sleep for the citizens was an
impossibility Some parents sent their
children to Waikupu, so as to be out
of harms way in the event of fight,
and the mothers made coffee and pre-
pared lunch for the volunteers and
members Of the Citizens Guard.
The japanese, however, failed to ap-
pear on the scene, evidently having
heard of the preparations to meet
them Early on Friday delegation
of 60 arrived and retained S. F. Chill
as their attorney. He adj
vised them to return to their planta-
ton and go to work, allow the law to
take its course and abide by the re-
result. A majority of the 300 japanese
acted upon this and returned to their
camp, but nearly 20 remained in Wal
luku and patrolled the main street of
the town.

If You
Were
About
To Go By

To go buy Bicycle, don't do SO I'M
til you first know it were wise to give
OURS the "go by" Why we sell so
many Bicycles is no mystery, for the
names Rambler Columbia" and
.Stearns" are known to every one who
knows what the word Bicycle means,
and about everybody in the Islands
knows that We are the agents for these
three leading makes.
We will not say much about the
''Stearns" this time, as the lot of '97
wheels which left New York on Febru-
airy 10th, did not catch the Australia, :"
and you do not want to hear about a
wheel you cannot see, so we will tell
you about them when they get here
But if yon want pretty mount, some
thing up to date, come in and see onr
81 Columbus" and "Ramblers;" but
come quick, as we have sold over half
of the lot just received, and we are sure
to be out of both makes before we can
get a good look at them ourselves.
We will have just forty-four (44) BIZ
cycles on the Australia" when she gets
here on March 30th, and from that on
we don't think anybody will go by to
buy a wheel because we have not got
the stock to show them
Our Columbus" this year, as well
as our "Ramblers,' are fitted with the
well-known G. & ]. tires. This tire has
proved to be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gem
uine G. & ]. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G. & J. tire is sold by the
Rambler" Agency here, and is fitted
to wheels we order. You can get tires
that are said to be G.. & J. and look
just the same, but you won't want more
than one pair; looks don't wear, you
know
Points of interest to you will be the
way the spokes are fastened on the
"Columbias," the new special seat and
the handles and grips on the Ladies'
"Ramblers;" in fact, you will find lots
to interest you, and you are welcome to
exar inc any wheel to your hearts con-
tent, even II you have no idea of buy
ing. We have just added largely to
our stock of sundries-such as Lamps,
Bells, Luggage Carriers, Bike Stands,

with about anything you need.

ABOUT BIKES.

An ex-dealer in wheels is
credited with saving, "a man
can buy one of fifty bicycles
and not make a mistake. "
What he meant to infer was,
that the material from which.
the Black Manufacturing
Company constructs the Tri-
bune bicycles is so uni
! formly perfect; that the
Workmanship is of such a
superior character, that out
of fifty wheels, one is as
good as another.
The 81 model Tribune has
three Improvements over
those of 'o6. The upper
frame tubing is constructed
| of I-8 inch steel and the
seat post is one inch tubular,
and is secured by a clasp.
The advantages of these
changes are manifest to ev-
cry rider of a wheel. The
sprocket chain has a recently
patented Improvement own
ed by the Black Company,
and not found on any other
wheel, and the pedal shank
is made Longer than before,
an improvement easily re-
cognized.

BIC FLAG RAISED
Largest Flag in Islands
Raised on Saturday.
Ceremonies and Reception at the
Beckley Residance-Invited
Guests.

Hawaii boasts of the largest active
volcano in the world, of sugar in
idustry that is unequaled, of a coffee
Industry that promises to be unequaled
and now she has one more thing to
boast of-the largest flag in the world
Hawaiian, with dimensions of 40xS0
feet, made by Litchfield & Co. of San
Francisco. The people of Honolulu are
glad to know that is intended for their
city alone. Floating from fiag-pole
no feet high, its size is such that it
touches the ground when hanging IN
moved by the wind.
Just as the u o'clock whistles were
/ blowing on, Saturday this large Ha-
waiian flag. which will ever be the
pride of the Beckley family, was raised
TO the top of the high fiag-pole on
Beckley Heights, Punchbowl slope, by
! Captain Lorenzen and ]. A. Dover,
and there allowed to flaunt its com
bination of the three well-known col
iors in the breezes of Manoa and Pau
GA Valleys. while little Juanita Beck
lev dedicated it to the winds of Ha-
waii by dashing a quart bottle OF
champagne against the pole, and send
ing the sparkling contents all over the
icemented base-and Captain Lorenzen.
Still holding the head of the bottle in
her hand and waving the red, white
and blue ribbons tied around it, she
iconjured the breezes to straighten out
the folds of the flag. Standing on the
imakai side and watching the flag as it
slowly unfurled and pointed toward
the Wilder Steamship Company's
wharf, where the steamer Helene was
lying, we're the following guests, whom
Mr.. and Mrs Beckley had so kindly in
|vited TO be present at the ceremony:
Mrs. Kinau Wilder, Captain and Mrs.
Lorenzen. DR.. and Mrs. Russell, Mrs.
&c. L. Wight, Mrs. George Herbert.
Mrs. E. D. Tenney, Mrs. H G. Noonan,
Mrs John Ena, Mrs. Hugh Gum, Mrs.

Mr.. W. C. Wilder, Jr., Mr.. ]. ]. Egan,
Mr.. Harry Wilder. DR.. Grossman, Mr..
X. r. G. Wallace, Mr.. ]. Walter Jones,
Mr.. George Paris and Mr.. c. A. Brown.
The ceremony of raising the flag
having been completed, the guests
were invited to the cooling shade of
the algeroba trees, near by, there to
enjoy a most appetizing luncheon. Be
fore entering into the delights of par
taking of the good things, Mr.. Beckley
proposed the health of the flag and
Mrs. Wilder, which all-the gentlemen
standing with heads uncovered =
drank to- Mrs. Beckley proved herself
a charming hostess, and not one of
her guests was allowed to want for
anything.
Everything seemed to have been ar
ranged with a special design toward
giving the guests series of treats.
The pretty ceremony of the flag first,
the luncheon next, and then, just as
this was about at an end. the Ha-
waiian National Quintette Club boys
arrived and filled all with the most
pleasant of thoughts by their singing.
The day was fine one and the show
iers which prevailed during the morn
ing seemed content to remain in abey-
ance whilst the ceremony of the rails
ing of the largest flag on earth was
in progress.

BAD PLAYING.

Done by Punahou in Game with
Kamehameha Saturday.
There was a snowstorm for the
members of the Punahou Baseball
Team Saturday afternoon, when they
played against the Kamehamehas on
the Makiki baseball grounds. The
thermometer was at zero for the Puma
hops throughout the game.
The playing on the part of most of
the members of the latter team was a
failure, and if they expect to show up
well in the next game with the Kams,
it will be necessary for them to brush
up a little. Cunha stood out promi-
nently as doing good work for the Pu-
nahou men, but Horner, as pitcher, did
not keep pace with him. The Hams
played concertedly and well. Follow

COAL RATES SLASHED.
Wisconsin Central Throws Bomb
Into western Territory.

Just when the authorities were congratu-
lating themselves that the troubles in West
ern freight rates were approaching an end
the Wisconsin Central road stepped IN and
dealt them the hardest blow of the year.
At one swoop and without any notice that
road put into immediate effect lake and
rail rate from Buffalo TO st. Paul and Mn
neapolis via Manitowoc of 20 cents on the
first three classes of merchandise and 10
cents on the remaining classes. These are
about one-third of tariff rates.
At the same time the read put in rate
of l.25 on hard coal and rs cents on soft
coal from Manltowoc to st. Paul, thereby
cutting the old tariff in Two. The new coal
rate raised a greater protest from freight
men than the lake and rail cut. The Wis
consin Central justifes its action the
ground that the existing rates were too high

from New York were being cut by railroads

trail.
A meeting will be held at Minneapolis to-
day, when an attempt will be made to set
tie the new troubles. So far none of the
other lines have announced their intention
of meeting the cut. Monday was the day
appointed by the Trunk Line association for
the restoration of rates on west-bound
freight. These rates are now in worse shape
than at any time during the year

Good Business in Connection With

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The interested lines
have agreed that, beginning Oct 4, the
reduced rates between Kansas City and St.
Louis and Kansas City and Chicago shall be
restored to the old basis. At that time the
rate of 81 made between Kansas City and st.
Louis. for the exposition at the latter place,
will be withdrawn. All-reductions from trans
Missouri territory and from Omaha, made
necessary by the st. Louis reductions, will
be withdrawn and the rates restored to the
old tariff

The lines of other associations may be used
for basing purposes in the territory of the
central passenger committee, the rate to the
gateways of the committee territory to a
fare and one-third for the round trip, and the
arrangements to be the same as for home
seekers excursions.
The Western roads did a very large bust
ness today in connection with their home
seekers excursions. The traffic was much
larger than that of two weeks ago, when the
roads handed more business than they had
carried in several years on any homeseekers'
excursion. 1t is likely that they may decide
to run several more homeseekers' excursions
after the regularly authorized affairs have
been carried out. The matter will come up
before the meeting of the lines of the West

TAYLOR'S LIPS SEALED.
Ex-spanish Minister Declines to
Talk on Cuban Affairs.

LONDON, Sept 21.-Hannis Taylor,
the former United States minister to
Spain, arrived here last evening ard
called at the United States embassy
today. In an interview, Mr.. Taylor
said: ''The grave negotiations pending
between the United States and Spain
as to the war in Cuba are now entirely
IN the hands of Gen. Woodford, who
has had fruitful experience, both in
peace and war, and will be equal to
the occasion whatever it may be-
Mr.. Taylor was questioned in regard
to the accuracy of the statements con-
tanned in the dispatch from San Sebas-
tan to the Temps of Paris, purporting
to give the substance of the interview
which took place on Sunday last be-
tween Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, the
United States minister to Spain, and
the Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish minis
ter for foreign affairs, in which Gen.
Woodford is said to have insisted,
courteously but firmly, upon the neces-
sity of terminating the war in Cuba,
and to have declared that if it is not
terminated by the end of October, the
United States will feel justified in TAX
ing measures to secure the indepen-
dence of Cuba. In reply, the former
minister said:
MY lips are sealed until after my
arrival at Washington"
While Mr. Taylor refused to discuss
this matter, his manner tended to con-
firm the story told by the correspon-
dent of the Paris Temps.
Regarding the general feeling in
Spain, Mr. Taylor remarked: 81 must
in justice say that 1 have never re-
ceived any personal discourtesy from
any one; but for the past year my resi-
dence was guarded by soldiers
Mr. Taylor will pay a visit to Prof.
Freeman, at Oxford, will complete his
book on "The Origin and Growth of the
English Constitution" and will sail for
home on Oct. 2.

ZEN. WADE HAMPTON REACHES

TOUR,
EMBRACING $1,000 MILES
OVER THE UNION, CENTRAL, AND
SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
SYSTEMS.
TROUBLE OVER MILEAGE BOOKS.
It VIII Occupy the Western Roads
Passenger Men at Meeting
at Chicago.

ST. Paul had q distinguished visitor
for few hours yesterday afternoon, in
the person of Gen. Wade Hampton,
United States commissioner of rail
roads, who. although in his eightieth
year, is just completing what will
probably be his last annual trip of in
spection of the great railroad systems
liz the West and South which have
been "bond-aided" by the United
States government. The. doughty old
general, who was one of the most
prominent of the officers of the Con-
federacy has just ended a journey
of nearly $4,000 miles, made in the pri-
vate car Buenaventura, of the Central
Pacific, and, notwithstanding his rire
old age, his bright eyes showed him
possessed of more than ordinary Vitall-
ty. He is accompanied by his daugh-
ter Daisy Hampton, Miss Lucy Taylor
Herndon, of Fredericksburg, Va, and
Mrs. w G. Curtis, of San Francisco,
the wife of Southern Pacific official.
The trip, which was begun from
Washington on the last day of june
included an inspection of the big
Southern Pacific system, the Central
Pacific and the Union Pacific. The
party went through first to the coast,
then through Texas and back up to
Portland and then home via the North
ern Pacific.
The venerable commissioner chatted
regarding his trip to the G 10 b e, and
says he found much to report in the
general betterment in the condition
of the great Western lines of road.
In the West, and especially on the
north Pacific coast, he noted marked
improvement in business conditions
since his last annual trip year ago.
The general and his ladies left their
car when ST. Paul was reached and
in carriages visited Summit avenue,
about which they had heard before
reaching here. Their car was taken to
the Mississippi street yards, and, after
being cleaned and provendered, was
attached to the Omaha train for Chi
cago, from which place it will be TAX
en- on to Washington.
Gen. Hampton will submit his report
to the secretary of the interior some
time before Nov. 1.
