JOCKEY CLUB RACES.
Meeting OF Members Last Night.
No Arrangements Made.

The members OF the Honolulu Jock
ey Club met at the Pacific Club last
night for the purpose of considering
the program of races. to be held June
11th at Kapiolani Park. From the re-
marks by the members present, it seem
ed impossible to ascertain what horses
were intended to be entered for the
races on that day, and for that reason
no accurate program could be decided
on.
The secretary, Samuel G.. Wilder, was
instructed TO notify all persons who
wished to procure stalls at the park,
or train on the track, that they should
signify to him their intention in writ
ing. In this notification they must in
clude the names of their horses and
mention the style of races for which
they will train. On the receipt of this
information the club will be able to
decide what will be done and the pub
lie will be notified.

If You
Were
About
To Go By

To go buy Bicycle, don't do so un-
til you first know it were wise to give
IOURS the go by" Why we sell sc
many Bicycles is no mystery, for the
names Rambler Columbia" and
"Stearns" are known 10 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 viii not say much about the
"Stearns" this time. as the lot of '97
wheels which left New York on Febru-
ary 10th, did not catch the Australia, .
and you do not want TO hear about a
wheel you cannot see, so we viii tell
you about them when they get here.
But If you want a pretty mount. some
thing up to date, come in and see our
81 "Colum bias 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 viii have just forty-four (44) BIZ
cycles on the Australia" when she gets
here on March Both, and from that on
we don't think anybody will go by to
buy wheel because we have not got
the stock TO show them.
Our "COlumbias" this year. as we'll
as our "Ramblers,' are fitted with the
well-known G. & J. tires. This tire has
proved to be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gen
uine c.. & J. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G.. & ]. 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
10 interest you, and you are welcome to
examine any wheel TO your hearts con-
tent, even if 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, /
Enamels, etc.-and We can fit you out |
with about anything you need.

SUPREME COURT NEWS.
Decision Handed Down By the
Chief .IuStice.

Decision Handed Down BY the
Chief Justice.
An important decision was handed
down by the Court yesterday which af-
fects the attachment of property while
the owner is out of the country. The
decision was ON an appeal to the Court
from a decision rendered in the Cir
cut Court in October, 1896. At that
time James J. Byrne asked permission
of the Court TO attach by advertisement
81 900 worth of bonds owned by A.
Feek to recover $S12. 1t was impossi-
BILE to attach Feek's person, as he was
out of the country at the time. Judge
Carter held that such permission could
not be granted, and Byrne appealed to
the Supreme Court.
Yesterday Judge Carter handed down
the decision that "If the judgment
sought is a personal one within the
State, personal service must be had
upon defendant, or he must make vol
untary appearance in order to obtain
jurisdiction of the person of the de-
lenudHC anu I'm HIS peISoHdl HdDliIS-
But a judgment which operates upon
the property is in the nature of pro-
ceeding in rem. and does not require
that personal service be had"
The decision is agreed in by Judge
Whiting, Judge Perry dissenting.
In the case of Pelani VS.. Mrs. Paele,
administrative, to recover small sum
of money loaned in 1892, decision was
rendered for defendant in the Circuit
Court.

AHuOa"hsy A"ht ncpuoAicauS Will COMBINE
with a Certain Few Populists.
WASHINGTON, March Sl.--The repub.
licans Of the senate yesterday put into
motion the machinery looking to the
reorganization of the senate so far as
the committee vacancies are
concerned. Tho, caucus was at
tended by almost every one
Of the straight republicans Of the
body. Mr.. Allison stated that the sit
uation had been carefully canvassed
and while sufficient votes to pass the
necessary resolution were not now in
sight he said that the commit
tee hoped within very short
time to be able to say that the votes
were at hand that would give the re-
publicans the absolute control of the
membership of the committees. tits un-
derstood that combination has been
made with certain populists whereby
they are to the vote with the republic
ans on the question Of reorganization.
The populists who are to be given
good chairmanships are said to be
Senators Jones, Of Nevada; Stewart
and Kyle. 1t Is understood also that
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, op-
posed such combination and will not
agree to any recognition Of the popu-
lists.

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PEyyED IN.
Likely to BE Soon Under Water--Home-
less and Half-Naked People
Grouped In squads.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 3l.-There
are now three breaks in the levee that
protects the Mississippi delta from the
waters Of the river One Is seven miles
below Greenville, Miss, at Wayside,
which is 1,2OO feet wide. One Is 40
miles north Of Greenville, at the head
Of the delta, which is 1000 feet wide
and becoming deeper and longer rs
the water rushes through it. The
third occurred at an early hour
yesterday morning seven miles
north Of point opposite Arkan-
sas City and at last reports a
stream as wide as the Hudson was
tearing through it and covering the
country for miles in the interior.
Greenville is in great danger. The
water from the middle break will par
TALLY food that town. II the levee In
front Of Greenville should break, no
man can conceive what the loss to life
and property would be. Probably TO-
900 people are working with despera.
ton born Of despair TO save their
homes and property. The whole ma
chinery Of the state and Of the Illinois
Central railroad is being brought into
play.
The news reached Memphis through
q telegram from Capt. NJ. Cheek, Of the
steamer Kate Adams, that at an early
hour yesterday morning, the levee

Is considered rather weak.
At Greenville, Miss, thousands Of

penned in between the three Bolivar
county levee breaks, and no commune
cation can be had with them. Refu-

Two hundred and fifty towns and

Of human life are yet reported, but

tive torrents are numerous, and the
suffering Of the afflicted people Is
great.
Every lake and stream Is out Of Its
banks and literally filed with bodies
Of drowned animals. Many thousands
OF horses, mules and cattle are being
swept away. Homes and property are
gladly abandoned In the mad rush to
preserve life. 1t is impossible to est.

dollars and cents. Every town and

News has been received that the
levee has broken at Stokes or Sunny

Gunnison, Miss. II is said by good
river judges that it will inundate
everything south as far as Rosedale,

place under four feet of water. There
will be great destruction of property.
This break will put Gunnison in a very
precarious position, placing the town

APPLE BOOM COLLAPSES,

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March Sl.-The
state Of Missouri, and, in fact, the en-
tire west, is experiencing one of the
greatest collapses in the apple boom
ever known. So great has been the
fall in prices Of apples in the last few
weeks that local commission men are
unable to sell the fruit brought on from
the north and east for enough to pay
the shipping charges. Missouri apples
are selling for % cents bushel. Thou
sands Of barrels brought on from
northern and eastern points are rotting
in cold storage. Hundreds Of bushels
are being dumped into the Missouri
river Even the local growers find
that it does not pay them to haul their
apples to town and are allowing them
to rot in the pits.
