MAUI MURDERER TRAPPED
SLAYERS OF CHINESE WOMAN
ARE IN THE TOLLS.
Kamalo, the Hunchback Thief-Rob-
berry His Motive-Confessed AL. TO
His weetheart--Murder Trials.

Marshal Brown returned this morn
ing from Lahaina, where with the as
sistance of the resident sheriff ne
succeeded in capturing the supposed
murderer of the Chinese woman, who
was found dead on the floor of her
home in Wailultu last week. The sus-
pect is Kamalo, native. 90 years nf
age. who has served two terms for lar
ceny. Robbery is supposed to have
been his motive. According to the
evidence in hand, he was engaged in
ransacking the Chinese home when
the woman returned and caught him.
He killed her with club in order to
conceal his first crime.
The evidence secured by the mar
shal against Kamalo is almost conclu-
sive. He was seen on the morning Of
the murder to enter the house and to
leave it, and during the time he was
in the house the woman was seen to
enter. AS Kamalo is a hunchback. it
would be easy to identify him even at
a distance. As several people saw him
enter and leave the house. there is
little hope for escape. More than
that Marshal Brown has secured n
confession from the native girl with
whom Kamalo has been living. in
which she states that Kamalo not only
made a clean breast of the crime 20
her. but gave her some of the Chinese
coins he had stolen. Meanwhile, Ka-
malo appears to be Indifferent to the
police. and to have no fear that the
crime can be fastened upon him. He
waived examination and was bound
over.
The prospects We're when the mar
shal left Lahaina that the WailuI>u
murder case, in which japanese is
concerned. would be completed at
noon today. The jury was secured at
noon yesterday, and the trial COM
menced at once. The evidence is con-
elusive.
The Lahaina case will be taken up
tomorrow, according to calculations.
and as there is scarcely shade of
doubt as to the accused mans guilt.
it is believed that he will stand con-
victed of murder within twenty-four
hours after the trial is commenced.
After these cases are disposed of
the rehearing of the Sprecllelsville
murder case will be taken up. 1t will
require a week or more.

The Legislative Grind.

Mr.. Morgan completed his Cuban speech
In the Senate Tuesday. and consideration
of the bankruptcy bill was resumed. Sen
ator Chandler introduced his bills empow-
ering the Secretary of the Navy to take
possession of the armor plants of the
Bethlehem and the Carnegie companies.
The House did nothing
In the Senate Wednesday Mr. Vest Of
fered resolution in the nature of a criti-
cism of Secretary Gage and declared
illegal his recent order relative to goods
imported after April l, when, according
to the retroactive clause of the pending
bill, the new tariff rates are to apply.
Mr.. Morrill, moved to refer the resolution,
and the debate and vote following was
the first indication Of the strength of the
tariff supporters. The motion prevailed,
"a to %. Two Senators were absent,
both Populists, whose positions upon the
question are in doubt. The affirmative
vote was given by Republicans, including
one silver Republican, Mr.. Mantle of
Montana. The negative vote was made
up of Democrats, Populists and two sill
yer Republicans, Pettgrew Of South Da-
kota and Cannon of Utah. The President
sent a message to Congress urging it to
make suitable provision for adequate rep
resentation of the United States at the
Paris exposition. The House was in SEES
sion but ten minutes, and then adjourned
until Saturday without transacting any
business.
The Senate spent Thursday considering
the Indian appropriation bill, but did not
complete it. Early in the session the pro-
ceedingS were made executive and when
the doors were again opened to the pub
lie the Indian bill came up. The pending
question was on the committee amend
ment opening the Uncompahgre Indian
reservation in Utah to public entry. Mr..
Jones of Arkansas withdrew the point of
order he had made and on yea and nay
vote the amendment was agreed to-33 to
IL. number of recent appointments
were confirmed, and the Senate adjourn
ed until Monday at o'clock. The House
did nothing.
The Senate passed the Indian appro-
priation bill Monday. 1t is substantially
the same as it passed the House, and can
occasion little division save on the amend
ment opening the Uncompahgre Indian
reservation. Resolutions of inquiry were
agreed to asking the Secretary of State
as to the operation of the reciprocity
treaties made under the Mckinley act.
Mr.. Vest introduced his resolution de-
claring illegal the recent order Of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury relative to imports
arriving after April l. After the execu-

The Fast" Young Man.

In the Ladies' Home Journal Edward
W. Box writes of the 'fast" man, and
the duties of fathers to their daugh-
ters in placing him where he belongs
and warning them against him. Mr.
Box believes that if it is said of a man
that "he has seen the world" in other
words, is fast" there is instantly a
singular glamour about him in the eyes
of young girls-girls a. good and pure
as were ever created. There is scent
Of danger about such man, and there
are girls for whom danger, even Of this
sort, has singular fascination. "The
girls know that these men are bad
But SO long as they respect me and
treat me as lady where's the harm {?
says the young woman when she is
called to account for her company.
''As matter of fact, the exact things
which a man does to earn the reputa-
ton Of being fast are neither known
nor dreamed Of by the girls for whom
such reputation has this glamour
The trouble lies in the fact that our
girls are brought up under a system
which hesitates to call a spade by it's
right name. We are afraid Of offending
or of shocking certain fancied sensi-
bilities, whereas, in reality, we make
the greater mistake Of making dia.,
monds out of spades and giving our
girls a wrong idea of actual things
1t is all very well to be tender in
our regard for the feelings of our girls,
but there is limit, a point at which
discretion becomes a crime And that
point has been reached when girls are
allowed to know and associate with
such men all unconscious of the dan
ger. When every mother or father, or
person with whom the duty may rest,
classes the fast man where he be-
longs, and portrays him in his true
light, 1t will be better for our girls. 1t
is high time that some of them should
know that the man who leads any
thing but pure life buys, in every in
stance, that experience at distinct
sacrifice to himself and at a tremen-
dous cost to the girl who marries him"

JAMAlcA's MoNooosE TRIAL,
To Free the Island from Rats-The
Pest Exterminated.

The introduction Of the mongoose
Into Jamaica marks one of the standard
instances Of unexpected results follow
ing upon an attempt to artiticialize the
process Of natural selection, and takes
rank as warning with the plague Of
rabbits and thistles In Australia. The
mOngoose was introduced from India,
in 1872, in order to abate the pest of
rats, which infested the sugar canes,
and after performing the salutary duty
1t increased and multiplied to such an
extent that not only the rats and mice
but most of the living species Of the ISL
and were threatened with extinction.
Poultry suffered first, but the depreda-
lions extended to young pigs, kids,
lambs, newly dropped calves, puppies
and kittens. Game Of all kinds was at
tackled, both living and in the egg. The
marauder ate even fish, and made such
a specially Of snakes, ground lizards,
frogs, turtles and land crabs that many,
kinds of these entirely disappeared.
Finally the mongoose developed a raw
enous desire for bananas, pineapples,
young corn. avocado pears, cocoas,
yams and the sugar canes which it had
been called in to protect, winding up
Its tastes with an appetite for salt meat.
The result was a wholesale disap-
pearance Of species. A few birds. like
the ground dove, had the sense to shift
their breeding places to the tops of the
prickly cacti, where they were safe; but
other animals, and the reptiles in par
ticular, suffered SO severely that many
kinds were believed for years to be ex-
unct. As consequence, there arose
yet another plague. Insects, like the
ticks and "jlggers' Tor chigors,, which
used to be kept down by the snakes, in
creased SO overpoweringly that men
and cattle were grievously infested.
One could not walk without being COW
cred with them.
The victory over the island remained
with the tick and the mongoose, until,
within the past year or two, fresh
stage set in. The mongoose suddenly
began to be less plentiful, and it was
found that he had fallen victim to the
tick. The results Of the diminution are
shown In gradual temperance Of
other beasts, birds and reptiles. Among
the snakes there is a very marked in
crease, and even the ground lizard, sup
posed to be quite extinct, has become
common again. The balance Of life has
begun to reassert itself and naturalists
will watch with curiosity for a CON-
plete reinstatement Of the previous
fauna. The renewed depredations Of
rats are hailed as an advent of saliva
ton. and. odd as 1t may sound, the in.
crease in numbers Of the crocodile is
taken as happy omen. The Jamai-
cans are not likely to take further ex-
periments in this interesting domain
Of natural history, but will adhere in
future to such present evils as they
have. For them, at any rate, it has
been no Imaginary mongoose. "-Acad.
