CHINESE RIOT ON HAWAII
FIELD HANDS WOUNDED BY THE
POLICE.
Five Hundred Celestials at Laupahoe-
hoe Repelled by Five Determined
Policeman-Luna's Rash Act.

Marshal Brown received particulars
in the Claudine mail of serious riot
on Laupahoehoe plantation last Tues
day which resulted in Chinese being
shot through the cheek by police
man. Over 500 Chinese were con-
cerned in the riot. They attacked the
plantation officers and were only fin
ally repulsed by the police, led by
Deputy Marshal Swain, blythe use of
firearms.
The trouble was occasioned by a
luna knocking down a Chinese field
hand last Tuesday. The Chinese was
either too badly injured to get up or
was shamming, for it was necessary
to carry him into the Office for treat
ment. The Chinese became very ex-
cited over the matter, and several
hundred of them left the field and as
sembled in front of the office, clam
oring for the possession of the in
jured man. Deputy Sheriff Swain
was telegraphed for and soon arrived
with posse of four men. The police
drove the Chinese back without the
use of arms at first.
The Chinese then armed themselves
with clubs and tools and made a rush
for the office. They must have over
come the police had not Swain or
dered his men to fire. There were
some answering shots from the
crowd, but the Chinese, seeing that
the police were determined, finally
fell back and retired from the field.
Over 500 of them declared their inten-
ton to leave the plantation. They
were up all night rioting, but started
before daybreak next morning for
Hilo. Later on they were pursuaded
to return to work on the plantation,
but at last accounts were still ugly
and defiant.
Neither the man struck by the
luna nor the one shot in the cheek in
the riot were badly injured. They
were cared for in the plantation hos
pital.

ON THE KLONDYKE.
Cost of Living and Chances of Money
Making.

B. r. Shaw writes from the gold
camp to a Seattle friend as follows:
''You would not believe me when
l tell you that 1 went into one cabin
and counted five five-gallon oil cans
full of gold dust, but it is fact. 1t
is the result of the work of two men
during the winter, and the dump is
not much more than half worked out.
"There has been about $2,000,OO0 in
dust taken out so far in the district.
AT low estimate there will be $780,
000,000 taken out during the next
year.
"Some of the saloons take in $4,000
to $4,000 a day. All pay in gold dust
and nothing less than so cents. A
glass OF beer costs so cents, so l don't
drink many. There are plenty of
provisions here. Flour is $12 per 100
pounds; sugar 35 cents per pound;
oatmeal, 25 cents; bacon, so cents, and
other things in proportion. Charles
Kimball is doing very well, taking in
from $4,000 to $4,000 day.
Logs are worth $50 at the mill and
lumber $3.50 thousand. There is a
small sawmill here running day and
night and cannot cut half the lumber
wanted"

BOTH ARE LOYAL.

1t would appear from the tone Of
the following leading editorial in last
weeks issue of the Kona Echo that
the American and japanese editors of
that publication have been talking
politics:
"As we announced already that the
Kona Echo is not included among poll
teal papers, and if our chief editor
ever expressed any idea on the an
neXation or any other political sub
jects that must be the opinions of
himself. The readers please do not
expect to seek any political opinions
from our paper. This is merely an
instructive journal. AS our American
editor is true to his country, our Jap
anese editor must be more loyal to his
own country"

PUMPING PLANTS.
A Few Notes Upon Eva and Oahu
Plantations.

One of the new 100000 gallon
pumps recently received at Eva plant
alton is already in place and Manager
Lowry expects to have it in running
order by next Monday. The other
new pump, of equal capacity, will be
running in about five weeks. The
new pumping stations will increase
the supply from 34,0O0,0O0 to $4,000
900 gallons of water every twenty-four
hours, which will insure constant
flow of water in the irrigating bitches
the year round, not only on the
ground already under cultivation, but
on the new tracts about to be opened
next year. The water supply at Eva
has hitherto been dangerously small.
1t has been necessary to keep the
pumps going night and day, even
seven days in the week, pumping into
the reservoirs during the night and
on Sunday.
The Oahu plantation pumps are
somewhere on the road between Chi
cago and San Francisco, but will no
doubt be on the ground within few
weeks. Planting will not be com
menced until they are in place, and
ready to give a steady water supply.
The new, steam plows have been set
up at Pearl City and will be ready for
work i'm few days. A large area of
land is all ready for planting. A force
of men is now at work laying the
branch track from the railroad up
through the plantation.

cOuMA COFFEE SECURED
FAMOUS BERRY TO BE PLANTED
ON OAHU.
Makaha Coffee Company Succeeds in
Smuggling a Bag Out of Mexico
A Model Plantation.

The Makaha Coffee Company will
put in seventy-five acres of the famous
Colima coffe this fall from which it
is expected that coffee equal to that
which has made the Mexican berry
so valuable in the markets of the
world can be raised. At compara-
lively enormous expense and under
the greatest difficulties 100 pounds of
seed berries were recently secured.
The planters of the Colima district
in Mexico have had monopoly of the
famous coffee for years, forbidding,
under heavy penalties, the export of
the seed berry from the district. The
Colima coffee is highly valued, be-
cause of the high percentage of pea
berry found in it.
Through a friend in the district,
the promoters of the Makaha Com
pany succeeded in smuggling out of
the country 100 pounds of seed. which
arrived here on the last steamer from
the Coast. Half of the bag was sold
here at the rate of $1.25 per pound,
and the remaining fifty pounds w. II.
Hoogs, president of the company, took
down to the plantation last Saturday.
The Makaha plantation, the largest
on the island, has already 1875 acres of
sinteen months old trees in the
ground. Many have received a set
back through the inroads of the grub,
but that annoying insect has been ex-
terminated, strangely enough through
the use of printers ink, and all of
the trees are now healthy. The plant
alton is now under the superintend-
ance of A. c. Nestal, young Califor-
MIA fruit grower, who thoroughly un-
derstands how to deal with insect
pests. He is now experimenting with
the japanese beetle, and thinks he
has hit upon method of eXterminat-
ing it with gypsum.
The site of the Makaha plantation
is an ideal one. It is situated at the
head of the valley, at an elevation of
from 1900 to 1900 feet, surrounded on
three sides by high cliffs, so that the
trees are perfectly sheltered from the
wind.
The Makaha plantation now has
growing seventy-ive acres of the
Waianae coffee and fifty acres of the
best Guatemala.

HEAVY RAINFALL.

Captain Cameron of the Claudine
reports that considerable rain fell on
the upper end of Maui last week,
bringing much needed relief. A heavy
rain was falling at Laupahoehoe last
Friday while the Claudine was lying
there. Capt. Cameron believes that it
extended far back into the interior,
but he was unable to secure accurate
information, as he could not get the
telephone connection with interior
points. Captain Weir of the Kilauea
Hou says that the rain extended as
far down the coast as Kukaiau, heavy
showers falling there last Saturday.
The indications are that the back of
the drought has been broken.

this had not been accomplished.
Noah. Sam Ku and Paahao are ac-
cused of having broke into the store
of All San, alias Asena, at Kamalo,
Molokai, on the night of April 11th,

they pounced upon and beat with
clubs and afterward stoned to death.
After choking All Sans wife, the mur-
derers rifled the store of its valuables.

ley. Upon reaching the selected place
the native jumped down the cliff and
made good his escape. He was cap
tured some days afterward.

THE WESTERN BRONCO
PROVES HIS SPEED AND HIS
ENDURANCE
When Crossed to Produce WEIGHT the
Product Should Answer Mill
tary Requirements

CHICAGO, Sept 6.-"No horses in the
world excel the range horses Of our
Western States for military purposes,
and think the trip just finished by my
cowboy friends here proves my asser-
tion."
The foregoing remark was made by
DR.. William A. Bruett, special commits
sioner Of the Bureau Of Animal Indus
try of the Department of Agriculture.
He was at his home in this city and with
him were two stalwart sunburned young
men, William and Bert Gabriel.
"These young men," continued Mr..
Bruett, "have just demonstrated that
the bronchos and range horses Of our
plains can cover distance of 240O miles
in ninety days and subsist on grass and
water along the route, without grain
and, more important still, from a mill
tary point of view, without being shod.
IT can say without fear of contradic-
ton that no other horses in the world
could have made the trip under those
circumstances
"The route, beginning at Sheridan,
Wyo., and ending at Galena, this State,
covered all kinds Of country, turf, sand,
rock. clay and mud. When they en-
tered the last 100 miles of the journey
the horses were in as good condition in
every way as when they started from
Wyoming. but from Dubuque to Water
loo, Iowa, the road along the Mississippi
river was either over Jagged rocks or
through deep mud. The. heels and frogs
Of the horses feet were SO badly bruised
that, although they could have COM
pleted the distance to Chicago, tele-
graphed the men to let the noble little
animals stop at Galena. Had the horses
been shod at Sioux City, Iowa, as tele-
graphed, knowing the roads over which
they would have to travel to Chicago,
the horses would have reached here in
first-class condition Saturday. The
telegram failed to reach the men and
they brought the horses through under
my original Instructions
LAS a test Of the endurance Of the
Western range horse, am sure the De-
partment Of Agriculture will be more
than satisfied with the result, as it DEM
onstrates the animal Is all that has been
claimed. AS said before no other horses
in the world could have made such trip
under the conditions. believe It will
change the opinions Of foreign govern
ments. who have felt that our range
horses we're too light for military pur-
poses. 1t is fact not known, as I said
before, that the range horse has in his
veins the blood oft he thoroughbreds and
the standard bred Percherons, Clydes-
dales, .HambletonianiS and other famous
strains. Stations of these classes have
been sent to the ranches and the result
Is an increase in the size and quality OF
the horse. The range horses, as they are
called in distinction from bronchos, range
in weight from $50 to 1850 pounds The
bronchos. which are Of Spanish origin
and have no improved blood in them,
weigh from $50 to 900 pounds.
I'VE believe the performance Of the
two horses which have just come from
Wyoming will influence the German and
English army agents to try our Western
horses"

Barril's Sentence

BARCELONA, Sept. 6.-The proses
cutor at the court martial yesterday Of
Barril. the anarchist who attempted to
assassinate the police chief on Friday
last, asked that a sentence Of forty
years imprisonment be imposed upon
the prisoner. The defense urged that
ten years would be adequate punish-
ment for the accused. Barril admitted
before the court martial that he came to
Spain with the intention of assassinat-
ing Chief Of Police Portas on account Of
the measures taken by the latter against
anarchists. The request Of the prose-
cutor was granted and the court SEN
fenced Barril to forty years imprison-
ment Much surprise was manifested
when the sentence was announced, as 1t
was expected that the prisoner would be
condemned to death.
