INVASION OF GYPS|ES
THIENING GANG CHASED FROM
PILLAR TO POST.
VIII Come to Honolulu in Search of
Rest and Money-Chased Out of Diff
ferent Towns-A Haru Crowd.

Blythe next steamer from the coast
Honolulu is threatened with invasion
from a band of gypsies, who have been
driven from town to town in Califor-
MIA, and are always in trouble because
of their thieving propensities. The
party includes about twenty people.
They wanted to come here on the Aus
tralia when she last left San Fran
cisco, but could not provide emo, gh
money on the spot. although they
promised TO get it if Capt. Houdlette
would hold the steamer an hour. In
speaking of this gang the Chronicle
says in a recent issue:
THE hard gang of Portuguese gyp-
sizes that tried to go to Honolulu by
the steamer Australia were run out of
Sausalito yesterday by the officers of
that town. They were compelled to
pack up and leave in a day. Shortly
after noon the gang came over in five
wagons and they presented the worst
looking sight imaginable. The horses
they had were the sorriest plugs pos
sible. The wagons were nearly in
pieces and the harness was principally
baling rope. The men, women and
children were as dirty as they could
get. As soon as they reached the San
Francisco shore Sergeant Tom Ma
honey ordered them to leave the city
at once or he would arrest them and
give them bath. The latter part of
the threat was effective and the pro-
cession was. soon moving down Mis-
sion street on the way to San MateO
county. The men said they were going
to Santa Clara county. The band has
been engaged in wholesale robberies
in Marin country for some time and
behaved in the most beastly manner.
The lower counties will undoubtedly
have trouble with the vagrants, who,
Notwithstanding, their wretched ap-
/ pearance, proved they had $500 a few
days ago"
Later advices say that the band was
met at the San Mateo county line by
the sheriff and posse and driven back
by force. They were not permitted to
go back to Sausalito or to remain in
the city, so went over to Oakland,
| pitching their camp in the suburbs,
where, according to last accounts, they
were fast becoming a nuisance and
annoyance.

TO A HIGHER COURT.

TO the Supreme Court of the United
States may be taken the great criminal
case of California, the cause in which
w. IL. T. Durrant was convicted of the
murder of Blanche Lamont, says the
Chronicle of the 5th.
In judicial proceedings resulting
from crime committed within this
State the State courts have original
and final jurisdiction, save that upon
matters involving the Interpretation
and application of the Constitution of
the United States, upon which the de-
cision of the Federal courts may be
asked. The McNulty case was taken
from this State to the Federal court
of last resort on constitutional ques-
ton. The attorneys for Durrant prom
Use to present his case to the Supreme
Court of the Nation, should they fail
in their effort to obtain from the State

cision denying a new trial.

PETITION FOR MORNING SCHOOL
HOURS ONLY.
Commence at Eight and Quit at Noon
School Children Like the Idea, but
Their Parents Do Not.

A petition is being circulated
among the public school children, ask
ing the Board of Education to change
the school hours, so that there will be
but morning session, commencing
at a. in. and closing at IL, with no
school in the afternoon. Naturally the
idea of having a half holiday the year
around pleases the children and they
are tumbling over each other in their
anxiety to append their signatures.
1t is difficult to trace the source of
the petition, but it is generally be-
lieved that it emanated from some of
the teachers, who are quite as fond of
half holiday as the youngsters
whom they teach and influence. The
petition is not regarded as a serious
matter by older heads. as it is not
considered the proper thing to teach
children that they can secure just
such school legislation as will please
them by petitionng the Board of Edu-
cation for it.
Some of the mothers, who have had
an inkling of what is going on are up
in arms. They say that it is enough
of task now to get the children out
of bed and ready for school by 9
o'clock 1t would De almost impossible
to get them up earlier. Out in the su-
burbs it would mean that the children
would have to be routed out at 6 a. M.
and then they would not have time to
help their mothers with the work,
which is quite an item in families
where there are no servants.
Another forcible argument against
the change of school hours is that the
children will become a charge on their
parents during the afternoons. 1t is
hard enough now to keep them out of
mischief during the hours that inter-
vene between the close of school and
! bed time, but, the mothers say, the adj
ditional three hours will ruin them en-
! tirely. In fact it is probable that if
the petition ever reaches the Board
of Education, it will be accompanied
by a party of angry mothers that will
frighten the members of the Board.

NEGATIVE REPLY TO THE POW
ERS PROBABLE.
More Army Reserves Called Out-king
George Is Determined and May Re-
fuse to Evacuate Crete-Want War.

ATHENS, March 4.-There is no
longer any doubt that the reply of
Greece to the identical notes of the
powers delivered on Monday last in
'isting on the Greek troops and feet
leaving Crete within six days from
that date will be in the negative. The
reply of the Greek Government will ex-
plain the reasons why Greece cannot
recall her forces and why she consih-
ers the scheme for autonomy proposed
by the powers to be inapplicable to
Crete.
After a Cabinet Council had been
held the Premier, NJ. Delyannis, had
long conference with the King. The
official gazette tonight publishes a de-
cree calling out the army reserves of
1891, 1890. 1899, and 1883, and this step
will be followed by a general mobil =
zation of the Greek forces. 1t ie esti-
mated that Greece will then have l00,..
600 men under arms. The bulk of the
reserves will be drafted forthwith to
Thessaly. where the troops are report
ed to be full of ardor and conf ienct.
Meetings in favor of wal with Tur-
key and resistance to the powers are
of daily occurrence, especially in
Thessaly.
Reports are published 1ere that the
German officers in the Turkis sh army
have been appointed to command the
troops on the Greek frontier.
The ironclads Spezzia and P.'ara will
sail at dawn to a secret destination
under sealed orders.
This evening a great public meeting
was held here to protest against The
action of the powers. At It's conclu-
sion the crowd marched to the palace,
shouting, "War! war! war!" Before
the palace several persons addressed
the people, and then, in response to
their demands, Crown Prince Constan.
tine appeared on the terrace, wearing
the uniform of General. He thanked
those present in the name of the King
for the loyal and patriotic sentimcrrs
expressed and begged them TO retire,
saying that at the preseat jun ;tn:e an
attitude of calm best befitted the dig
nifty of the nation. The Prince was
loudly cheered.
The new Minister of War, Colonel
Metaxas, has enjoined the greatest a.
tivity upon the commanders of the
Greek forces. The French volunteers,
who have reached here, are received
with the greatest enthusiasm.

sleek little ponies and lonc-eared
donkeys.
The Alameda made the run down in

clipped several hours more from the
run had not Capt. Oterendorp, finding
that he could not make port by run
down, slowed down on the last day
out. Even then she arrived off port az
midnight, and had to stand OIL until

crowd of passengers on board, and
they made the most of the fine

REFUSES TO PAY A CLAIM.
Olney's Demand for Damages Re
jected.

PANAMA, March Al am informed
by trustworthy correspondent III
Lima, Peru, that the Government of
that Republic absolutely refuses to al
low the claim of Victor IL. McCord, al
American citizen, for false arrest and
Imprisonment. The claim is for $780,
900. Secretary Olney in July made a
peremptory demand upon Peru for the
settlement of the claim.
Mr.. McCord was superintendent of
the Arequipa and Cuzco Railway IN
1885. A revolution was in progress in
Peru at the time, and train on which
Mr.. McCord had taken passage was
captured by rebels. Through the
treachery of the engineer, Mr.. McCord
was pointed out as the most important
prisoner. He was sentenced to be
shot at once, but was saved by the eff
forts of few Peruvians. He was
then imprisoned and treated with
great hardships and cruelty.
After the release of Mr.. McCord he
filed his claim for 100000, the justice
of which has been repeatedly recog-
nized by the Washington authorities,
Peru being as often requested to
liquidate.
