CONTRACTS FOR SUGAR MADE IN
NEW YORK.
Large Fleet to Carry Sugar Around
the Horn-Contracts With New Re-
finery at Port Costa.

Upon reliable authority The Star is
enabled to say that contracts have
been signed IN New York for $4,000
tons of Hawaiian sugar of the crop of
1898. Another large block of sugar will
also be taken by the new sugar refin-
cry at Port Costa, California. This
contract is with the combination of
sugar plantations outside those con-
trolled by Spreckels and Davies.
The Star foreshadowed this a fe,v
days ago in its article dealing with
the sugar fleet around the Horn. TO
carry this quantity of sugar round the
Horn will require some of the finest
vessels afloat, and the Tilie Starbuck
will be the pioneer vessel of the feet
carrying our products to the United
States.
This deal will be of great .advant
age to the sugar planters for it has
been consummated upon better terms
than they have heretofore obtained,
and it settles definitely in what di-
rection our sugar will go. There has
never been any doubt about the plan
tations being able TO market their
crop, but there have been some who
became somewhat timid.
The plantations not controlled by
the two firms mentioned above, ac-
cording to Thrum's Almanac. are the

Wailuku and Waimea. Davies &, Co.
control some twelve plantations. and
nine or ten are under the control Of
Sprecllels.
When Davis & Co. DETECTED from
the combination some months ago and
decided to sell their product to the
Spreckels. it was predicted before the
end of the year there would be a gem
eral break. 1t comes as a surprise 10
many now that the planters c0mbina-
ton has been practically able 10 die
tate its own terms to the New York
people. and that commissions are now
much lower than they were last year.
While no definite information can
be obtained. il is generally understood
that the Sewall line of clippec ships
will be chartered again this year to
carry the crop. They made Il splcn
did record last season. During the
coming season there will be many
changes in the methods of landing su-
gar on the docks.
1t is likely that more than the con-
tract amount of sugar will go around
the Horn during the coming season.
The prediction is made that the out
standing plantations will come into
the combination before long.

HAWAIIAN HOTEL CROWDED.
Service Improved and New Manage
ment Popular.

The Hawaiian hotel is crowded with
guests, most of them from the China.
1t looks like old times with the la
nais crowded and the dining room
full. Manager James has had a hard
time making room for all, as the ac-
commodations of the house are still
incomplete, and many rooms not yet
available.
There is a general praise over the
improved service. Among the guests
are some old time travellers who have
been here before and they say that
the accommodations are the best they
have ever enjoyed here. The new bill
of fare was inaugurated at dinner last
night and gave general satisfaction.
The cooking is excellent, Manager
James says that improvements are
but just commenced. Before he gets
through he hopes TO place the Ha-
waiian hotel on the same basis as the
best on the coast.

Cut Their Way in Through the

daring burglar gained possession
OF Captain Berger's handsome gold
watch last night by cutting his way
into the bandmaster's house, while
four men in the building peacefully
slept. John Manoa's watch did not suit
his fancy, 50 he left it on the floor, but
took some change that he found in
the bicNcliSts trousers pocket The
intruder was evidently frightened off
before he had completed his Doting,
for he left Professor Bcrger's vest on
the front yeranda with $3.50 in change
in one of the pockets.
No one knew of the burglary until
this morning. The cottage in which
it occurred is situated on Mills street,
opposite the drill shed. and only a
few steps from Bcretania street. Cap

H\LLOMEEN.

Tomorrow is Halloween, which, ac-
cording to the old saws, is the time
when witches, devils. fairies and oth-
er imps of earth and air, hold annual
holiday. Being good tempered on this
night, they are willing to reveal the
future to those who wish to pry into
its mysteries. Especially are they ia
vorable to young madens. to whom,
after proper rites, they will tell of the
future lover. At the midnight hour
they have only to look into mirror
and over the left shoulder will appear
the fated features. The Thistle club
will celebrate the evening with a
dance, and no doubt some one will re-
cite Burns celebrated poem 'IIal-
lowe'en," which tells far more than
any one not born on Scottish soil can
tell of the great evening.

L. S. S. BALTIMORE'S ARRIVAL.
New Flagship Expected Here About
November Sth.

Captain Nichols of the Bennington
said last night that the L. 5. ) Bal
timore can be expected here about
November Sth, and that the L. :. :

sailing orders four days later. Ac-
cording TO the information received
at naval headquarters here, the Balti-
more would commence coaling at San
Francisco on the 22nd inst, and five
days would be consumed in filling her
bunlers for the voyage. The York
town people expected to get away
earlier than the 12th, but are content
ed to remain longer. 1t is not now
known when the Wheeling's orders
will come, but probably in the same
mail with the YOrktOMn'S.

the officers from their positions If such
removals are shown to be in violation
of the civil service act. He, therefore,
ordered that the men who had been
shifted from a good salaried place to a
smaller salaried place should be rein
stated.
Government authorities declare that
the ruling of Judge Jackson Will cause
great confusion, as its findings are far
from what had been expected. He
practically has held that the fact tina
a man gets a civil service place under
the government gives him a right in
equity to the salary. and e-moluments Of
the office which is above the caprice of
the head of the department. According
to Judge Jackson it is illegal to shift a
man in office unless the salary ans
emoluments shall be the same.
The case which resulted in this opin.
ion was brought to reinstate a United
States storekeeper or gauger in the
revenue service. When the changes il

October a day storekeeper at the Han
mis- distillery, of this place, was trans

months had been on duty as additiona.
s-torekeeper, was assigned as day store
keeper. The withdrawal gauger was
also laid off and a reinstated gaugeI
assigned to duty.
By in1unctions the collector and all
Others were enjoined from interfering
with the three officers who had been
on duty.

Judge JackSOn's Latest Ruling in a
Civil Service Case.
NO REMOVALS EXCEPT FOR CAUSE.
By rhis Ruling a Man Who Gets a Civil
Service Place Has a Right Par
amount to the Power Of the
Head Of the Department.

Martinsburg, w. Va, Nov. 9.-Judge
John J. Jackson handed down a de-
cision yesterday which holds that trans
fer without trial cannot be mad under
the civil service law, because it is
equivalent to removal.
Judge Jackson insists that the APP
pointment of a man to a federal posi-
ton under the civil service law gives
him a right in equity to the place,
which he is not forced to surrender
save for cause. Judge Jackson re-
marks in his document that the leav-
ing Of discretionary powers in the
hands Of the heads Of departments
makes the civil service a dead letter.
He rules that there is no doubt the
civil service law is entirely constitu-
tional.
His second finding is that congress
has never delegated to the president
and the commission legislative power.
His third point declares that the in
ternal revenue service has been placed
under the merit code and he also holds
that any attempt to change the position
and ran of officers in civil service de-
partments is a violation of the law.
His final holding is that a court Of
equity has a right to sit in such cases,
and has the jurisdiction to restrain

An account was given yesterday of the
suit of Mrs. Antonina Kotarski against her
husband, Stiney. The latter was charged
with assault and battery, non-support, surety
and threats to kill aud it was incidentally
remarked that had the accused not remained
at home he would have been sued for deser-
ton. When he entered bail for trial he re-
marked to Justice Shoemaker that he would
have a story to tell in court. He went home
and evidently fell into a hornets nest, for
within a few hours he returned to the office
of the Justice and swore out a warrant for
the arrest of his wife, John Fetkowski and
Michael Maiewski, charging them with
assault and battery. Each of the accused
furnished 500 bail for trial.

Trial.

A Long Roll of Witnesses Awaiting the
Trial.
The case against the School Directors of
West Mahanoy township is still hanging fire
at Pottsville and the hundred or more wit
nesses who have been subpoenaed are i'm
patiently awaiting the trial. It is
understood that the case will be
called before Judge Savidge Immediately
after the Coyle-Joyce libel suit closes, which
is likely to occur tomorrow. Counsel on
both sides are anxious to get the case to trial
as soon as possible, as it is a matter Of great
Importance to the township. The long list Of
witnesses includes almost every teacher in
the township and should the case
go over until next week the closing
Of several schools might result, as there are
not enough substitute teachers at hand. It
will be in conformity with circumstances to
try the case this week because all tho schools
are closed on account of the teachers county
institute being in session. The trial will be
a very interesting and, in all probability, a
lengthy one. Some of the parties interested
believe that it will last more thar a week. II
will certainly continue three or four days.
