NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY
HOW MONEY COULD BE RAISED
FOR BUILDING PURPOSES.
Government May BE Asked for Some
Assistance-M Memorial Fund Could
BE Used to Advantage-Bazaar.

In speaking about the proposed
armory project this morning, Lieut..
Col. J. II. Fisher spoke very encourag-
ing about funds. He gnve it as his
frank opinion that in the event the
military men would be. found laboring
as a unit toward this end, the funds
would be forthcoming for the con-
struction of an armory that will be
surprise to even those who are most
sanguine over the scheme.
st is my idea to have the Govern
ment assist us as much as it possibly
can in this matter" said Col. Fisher.
81 see nothing that would prevent us
from economizing and appropriating
what might be left over from the year
ly allowance made by the Government
for the militia. There will be bal
fident that in one, two or three years
enough money could be saved by care
full management out of the appropria-
tions made by the Government to
armory success. This would let the
remainder to be subscribed by our cit
izens, fall very light upon those who
will be asked to contribute toward the
fund"
another idea which / have in
mind" continued Col. Fisher. sis to
look into the Charles L. Carter me
mortal fund, which now contains in
the neighborhood of $500. | believe
that the donors to that fund would be
perfectly contented to have the money
used in the erection of an armory. A
bronze tablet of him could be placed
in front of the building or even the
building might be named after him,
which would comply with the objects
for which the friends of the late hero,
intended that it should be used. Some
one has suggested that the ladies give
bazaar in the drill shed and bene-
fit dance and supper has been pro-
posed. Already several citizens have
come in and laid down before me cash
contributions. l don't think that there
will be any question about the sue
cess of the military mems pet idea"
Col. Fisher says that the plan he
will suggest will be for the erection
of two or three story brick or stone
building on Miller and Hotel streets,
long drill shed to be built at the rear.
He would have entrances extending
| from the second story of the armory
to the galleries of the drill shed. There
would be reading, social and billiard
rooms. In the basement of the aImory
he wants bowling alley and a shoot
ing gallery.
The present buildings would be re-
moved, thus throwing open more land
for parade ground.

MINISTER TO JAPAN.

WASHINGTON. March Ex-senator
Perkins and Congressman Barham to-
day called upon President Mckinley
in the interest of Frank Coombs for
Minister to Japan. The visit was by
arrangement and Mckinley gave the
closest attention to the presentation of
the case, cutting short the delibera-
ton, however, by saying that prior
claim for the place had been put in
and his eye was fixed on man for the
position.

MANUFACTURING HARNESS co

The attention of the readers of The
Star is called to the advertisement of
the Manufacturing Harness Co., in this
issue. 1t win be of interest to users
of harness of all descriptions to know
that the product of this company is
strictly hand made. They make a
speciality of light, medium and heavy
rubber trimmed carriage harness,
made up plain or to suit the desire of
the purchaser. 4 hand made harness
built in the United States is an en-
tirely different article from the one
made by the above firm. Here the
saddle is as much hand made as the
balance, while in the United States it
is usually penitentiary made. 1t is
well worth the time to examine the
stitching and general appearance of
their goods.

THE CASE OF THE LUSITANIANS
REMANDED.
Question Has Been Raised Between
the Two Sections of Portuguese in
the Progressive City of Hawaii

The Supreme Court handed down a
decision this afternoon in the case of
j. S. Canario ct al. VS.. Jose G.. Serrao
ct al, in which it refused to confirm
the decision OF the Circuit Court, for
the reason that the proceedings had
not been properly brought; but. adj
mitting that a agreat injustice had been
done the stockholders of the Portu-
guese Sugar Mill Company. refused to
dismiss the case, remanding il to the
Circuit Court for further proceedings,
and taxing the Court costs equally up
on the defendants and plaintiffs.
The case in question was a quo war
ranto proceeding brought by j. S.
Canario and others, claiming to have
been legally elected directors of the
Portuguese Sugar Mill Co., at Hilo, TO
oust from possession of the company's
books, etc, j. G. Serrao and others,
who claimed also to have been right
fully elected to office. The Circuit
Court decided that neither set of Off
GERS had been legally elected, and ord
cred new election. The Supreme
Court upholds the lower Court in this,
but finds that because the information
was not accompanied by any petition,
the proceeding was improper. the case
must be remanded to the lower court
for proper proceedings.
The dispute in the election of Off
GERS for the Sugar Company arose out
of the fact that while the by laws of
the company fix the date of annual
meeting on January Is, the Secretary,
by order of the Board of Directors,
called the annual meeting for January
IS; whereas, the incorporation articles
of the company provide that a change
in the date of the annual meeting can
only be made by the consent of all
the stockholders. 'r
The Serrao crowd met on the 10th
and elected officers. Immediately af-
terward the Canario crowd met and
did likewise. The Serrao faction, how
ever, got hold of the business and the
other faction have since been trying
by legal means, to oust them. Charges
have been made on both sides that
stock was illegally issued and voted.
The Circuit Court decided that both
the elections We're illegal, and that
the 1896 board was the only legal
board in existence and would hold
over until the election of a new board
which the court has ordered. Now the
1 Supreme Court decides that the lower
court was correct in its findings, eX.
cept that it failed to compel the liti.
giants to properly present their case
In order to bring the matter to a
speedy issue, without incurring unne !,
essary expense, the Supreme Court re-
fused to dismiss the cause, remand
ing them to the lower court for proper
correction and intimating that there
would be nothing to be gained by an
appeal from the decision of the Circuit
Court so rendered.

Ne PORTUGUESE MILL At HAO THE COMMERCIAL Record DK legation aroused
MR.. THURSTON'S STATEMENT is
SHARPLY CRITICIZED.
Interview With Lawyer Stevens Of the
Japanese Legation-Says Immigrs-
ton Will Stop When Demand Ends

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-S,dte-
ments recently made by ex-Minister
Thurston of Hawaii regarding thc
dangers which he alleges Hawaii has
cause to dread on account of the. in
fiuX of Japanese, have aroused sstme
Indignation among the members of
the japanese legation in this city.
They say Mr.. Thurston is mistaken
both in his facts and his conclusions.
The Japanese Government has no de-
signs upon Hawaii, and there is moth
ing in the present or past condition
of affairs in the islands which n the
remotest degree justifies such an allie
cation.
When the japanese first went to Hat
waii in considerable numbers it was IN
compliance with the demand for labor
upon the sugar plantations. They
went under the terms of a convention
made only after repeated requests
from the Hawaiian Government and
entered into somewhat reluctantly by
Japan. That convention is still in
force, but can be abrogated upon due
notice by either party.
A little more than year ago the
japanese Government enacted law,
by the terms of which Japanese are
permitted to emigrate to those coun-
tries, and those countries only, whith-
err their emigration will not be contr-
ary to the law of the country of des-
| tination.
Several companies have been formed
in Japan for the purpose of promoting
emigration under this law not only to
| Hawaii, but also to other countries
where emigrants are in demand. But
neither the japanese Minister nor any
other japanese official has any con-
nection with these companies, which
are exclusively private business con-
Germs. Nor do these companies pro-
mote emigration to Hawaii except in
compliance with the demand for labor
in the islands.
They are responsible for the welfare
of the people whom they assist in
sending abroad and could not afford to
incur the heavy penalties which the
law would impose upon them if they
sent people indscriminately to coun-
tries where there is no demand for
labor. Consequently 90 out of every
100 japanese who go to Hawaii go
there in fulfillment of agreements for
their employment upor the planta-
tons or elsewhere in the islands. Jap
anese emigration to Hawaii owes its
initiative to the Hawaiian Govern
ment, and owes it's continued existence
to the Hawaiian planters. The moment
their demand for labor ceases Japan.
ese emigration will end also.
"Mr. Thurston." said Counselor Stew
ems of the japanese legation today,
''knows this, and he must know also
that without this class of docile, intel
ligent labor, or some adequate substi-
tute for it, the chief source of Hawaii
an wealth, the sugar industry, would
be fatally crippled. The officials OF
the japanese legation cannot under
stand why Mr.. Thurston should ignore
this unless he believes ii is indispens-
able to the cause of annexation to i'm
pose upon the credulity of the Ameri-
can public by misrepresenting Japan
and her people,"

How to Make q Lasso.

The cowboys lasso is made by cut
ting rawhide into thin strips and half
tanning them with the hair on. These
strips are then stretched over a block
and braided into a rope, the strands
being pulled very tight. The lasso is
buried in sand for week or two and
absorbs moisture from the ground,
which makes it soft and pliable When
taken from the ground it is stretched
out and the hair is sand-papered off. It
is then creased with mutton tallow and
properly noosed, when it is ready for
use-EXchange.

More About Concentrated Fuel.

A French naval engineer named
d'Humy has invented pressed oilcake
for use as fuel on ocean steamers. It
is not affected by temperature, is
smokeless and odorless, cannot evap-
crate or cause explosion and burns
only on the surface, giving out intense
heat and leaving only from 2 to per
cent of ash. A ton Of this fuel is
equal to thirty tons of coal and costs
between IS and $40. IF the half of this
story is true" says the Cincinnati
Price Current, "and NJ. d'Humy really
has got substitute for coal which is
less dirty, bulky, and costly, while
equally safe and powerful, he has

burden lies in the fact that soldiers

there Is point in soldier training
where the recruit ceases to be citi-
