May FLINT pEsERTERs.
Officers Start Out After them but
Get Left.

Some two or three days ago there
were three deserters from the May
Flint posted The officers searched
high and low. but the sailors had hid
den themselves very effectually.
On Tuesday night, between and 9
o'clock, James Crane, who works at
the Government Electric Station, went
outside, and when just short distance
away, where there is thicket of
bushes, he heard a rustic similar to
the scattering of covey of quail, he
felt, rather than saw distinctly, three
men scatter out, going as fast as posi-
bic in different directions. A report was
made to superintendent of the works,
and the police authorities were notified
later. These men, it was thought, were
the three runaway sailors, as deserteTs
have 8 habit of going up in that d.
rection.
On Wednesday night, Captain Rem
ken and Harry Evans of the water
front police. went out toward Diamond
Head. whittier it is supposed the men
had fed. Evans had hard time of it
on horseback, and besides falling off
his horse twice, lost the heel of one
of his shoes.
The two officers waited around in
the vicinity for many hours, and did
not get back to the police station until
the wee sma' hours Thursday. The de-
serters were not forthcoming, but Har-
ry hopes to have them in a few hours.

SECRETARY sEARLEs AT CANTON.
Visit of Missing Sugar Witness to
Home OF Mckinley.

Va
CHICAGO. ILL.,, Feb. S.-A special to
the Tribune from Canton, Ohio, says:
John E. Searles, secretary of the sugar
trust, not only paid a visit to Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley last Friday, and
tried TO keep his visit secret, but he
met Chairman Hanna at the Valley
Railway station here and took him
away TO some unknown place for an
hours conference. Mr.. Searles' visit is
causing more comment here the more
its mystery becomes known.
The fact that he was under contempt
at Albany, N Y, for not appearing at
the Lexow Committee investigation of
the sugar trust on that day has caused
all sorts of speculation here over the
subject of his visit.
What Mr.. Searles came to Canton
for is much of a mystery. The Presi-
dent-elect has said that he does not
know Mr.. Searles' initials, and Mr..
Searles' only explanation of his visit,
in reply to the usual questions put to
callers at the Mckinley house. was
that he came on a social call.
1t is generally believed that the
President-elect knew he was entertain
ing the secretary of the sugar trust,
but that he did not know he was in
contempt of court at the time. The
most plausible explanation of the visit
is that he was looking up the question
of tariff legislation, and that Friday
was considered most convenient for
him, although it was embarrassing to
Mr.. LeXow.

No firm of grocers in Honolulu can sell
the same quality of goods we offer and at
same prices unless they buy right. We
boast of our prices just as proud mother
does of her first born-they can't be beat.
Nor are the goods we sell excelIed in quail
ity by any firm.
Since bringing our wares before the ISL
and public by means of printers ink, the
orders from people on the other islands
have doubled in number. This means
that the people are satisfied with goods
and prices. We are reaching out for trade
and to secure it we have goods at ex-
ceedlngly low cash price. In case lots

the benefit of wholesale prices.

SYDNEY, n. S. w, Jan. 24.-When
the Sydney trading steamer Titus
reached Rubrana she heard of fear
full murder that had taken place at
Rendoya, in the Soloman Group 1t
appears that Capt j. Gibbings, a we'll
known trader, was sailing in his cut
ter along the coast at Rendoya on the
2Sth of November, and when off the ma
tive village of Boogley, two natives
came off and asked him TO anchor, as
they had quantity of copra that they
wished TO sell The cutter was accord
inly brought up a short distance from
the beach, and several canoes came off
with copra. After taking it on board,
Captain Gibbings went below to get
the trade to exchange for the copra,
and while he was STOPPING down two
Rendova natives jumped on top of him
and held him down, while a third ma
tive, using a large knife, cut off the
unfortunate mans head. The helpless
man struggled violently in his death
throes, and tore the hair out of the head
of one of his murderers. His compan-
ion a native Rubrana, looked on while
this tragedy was being enacted. After
the murder the Rendova natives loot
ed the vessel and set fire to her Cap
tain Gibbings was well known in the
coastal trade of this colony.

CARRIER PIGEONS FOR ALASKA
Proposed Homfug Service Between
Sitka and Juneau.


Proposed Homiug Service Between
Sitka and Juneau.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb. g.
For long time past the wide-awake
artisans of Alaska have been chatting
under the inconveniences resultant up
on inadequate communication between
distant places, particularly Sitka, the
capital, and Juneau. the metropolis.
The recent escape and sensational
recapture of Desperate Birch has again
brought the matter up, it being argued
that the long delay would have been
avoided had the authorities of two
towns been able to communicate with
each other by any other means than
steam launches of no remarkable speed
The great amount of money required
to lay cable from Juneau to Sitka
forces that proposition out of consider
alton, but the Alaska Searchlight has
come to the front with a substitute
that would be almost as good as the
telegraph and would work material
improvement on existing conditions.
The plan suggested by the Search
light is simply the establishment of
dove-cotes in the two towns and the
stocking of them with carrier pigeons,
to be used when the occasion requires.
1t is proposed to let the business men
of the two towns pay the expenses. The
Searchlight cites the efficient marine
homing pigeon service between San
Francisco and the Farallones as a
practical demonstration of the wisdom
of its suggestion.

Wales was placed in the strong room
from the starboard side. Next morn
ing, however. when the robbery was
discovered, it was seen that an entrance
had been effected from the port side,
where the inside door had been forced
open by means of a crowbar, traces of
which were plainly visible. The most
mysterious part of the affair is that the
quartermaster and steward, who were
on duty during the night, did not OBJ
serve anyone about. The detectives be-
lieved that the gold was still in the
ship. and two members of the force ac-
companied the steamer TO Adelaide, and
made a thorough search without find
ing the missing gold.

Wolcot's measure for on international
monetary conference has passed the sen
ate by the decisive vote OF 46 to 4. There
was little opposition to the bill though
many OF those voting for it ridiouled the
ire as a sort OF farce and republican
grand stand play, but wanted to see it
passed to throw the responsibility Of its
failure upon the republicans. Senator
Hoar's speech attracted attention and
was one OF the most noteworthy utter,
