heard in my life and, running out we
saw the Japanese laborers running
about like madmen in quest of clubs
Or other weapons. Work was drop
ped and the men rallied round their
leaders.
The excitement then abated some
what as it was learned that Watson
was long distance away and also
that he was accompanied by a mount
ed patrolman.
'The men dropped their weapons for
moment and held a meeting. This
done, they again went to work but it
was not for long. 1t was soon an
nounced that Watson and the patrol
man were drawing near The Japan
ese sent one man to confer with Wat
son who, after quite a little parley,
agreed to pay the men on Saturday.
There seemed to be no further signs
of trouble and the Japanese remain
ed very quiet. This, it seems, was only
a subterfuge. Watson seemed to feel
perfectly safe and at o'clock, told the
patrolman that there was nothing
more to fear and that he could get
over on the other side without danger.
The officer of the law left and set. out
for home on a gallOp.
Hardly had he gotten out of sight
when heard another blood-curdling
series Of yells, and arrived outside
just in time to see Watson's coat-tail
fluttering in the wind down the side
Of the Pali and sixty enraged Japan
ese falling over each other in their
efforts to seize the fleeing man. They
had set upon him when they found the
patrOlman was out of sight.
'It was about half hour later when
the laborers returned. We expected to
find them bringing Watson beaten to
death but they said that his slides
down the Pali side and his final hid
ing in the guava bushes, had outwitted
them.
81 was much surprised when look
ed at the gang for there in the midst
of the Japanese was native as much
excited as the Asiatics. He explained
that he had a claim against Watson.
Il fear that the trouble is not all
over yet. At six o'clock, the Japanese
were all drinking heavily of sake and
declaring that in case the money was
not forthcoming on Saturday, as prom
ised by Watson, there would certainly
be trouble in camp. / consider that
the sub-contractor's position at the
present time. is perilous. His being on
the other side of the island is no safe
guard. He has yet to deal with the
natives who went over to the landing
to await him in case he arrived on g
steamer. Then there is nothing to pre-
vent the Japanese from going over.
They are ugly enough to do anything"

In Battle Line

The first battalion was fortunate
enough to escape wetting last even
ing. Major Jones was compelled to
leave early to attend to some court
work as stenographer. This left Cap
tain Zeigler in command. He gave the
boys lively evening. Much Of the
work was in open order. A line OF
battle was formed and there were
charges and flank movements. The
turnout was a good one and the boys
seemed to enjoy the quick work in the
cool evening.

Kerosene is Up.

There is again an upward furry in
the kerosene market The price last
evening was $3.50 per case. A very
heavy dealer on Fort street said there
would doubtless be further advance.

figure was 1925. The next heavy ship
ment is expected by the Iolani, which
may not be long for month. Mean

1t was day never to be forgotten by
those who were privileged to witness

and great clouds of mist hid the fleet
from view. But before noon the sun.
loyal as ever TO the reigning House,
forced its way through the thick mist,
and by half-past two, when the Victo-
ria and Albert steamed out into the
Solent, and mighty salue from the
assembled engines of war rent the air,
the atmosphere was clear as crystal,
and gentle breeze tempered the suns
heat and gave life and motion to the
thousands of flags that bedecked the
ships.
The fact that the great pageant was
a celebration of sixty years beneficent
rule, marked by naval progress un-
equalled by any other country, was
charmingly emphasized by the pres
ence On the royal yacht of the Father
of the British Navy, Admiral of the
Fleet Sir Henry Keppel, a veteran who
was high up in the service when the
Queen ascended the throne, and has
witnessed the great naval revolutions
from sails and wood to steam and steel.
To do honor to the great occasion rep
resentatives of most of the crowned
families of Europe were present, while
in the Solent were great warships Of
the American, French, Russian, Itali-
an, German, Norwegian, Austrian,
Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish, Dutch,
Japanese, and Danish navies, and the
Siamese royal yacht. Needless to state,
the French cruiser Pothuau and the
Cars cruiser Rossia were moored IN
close and friendly proximity.
AS long as the royal yacht mingled
with the long lines of fighting-sh ships,
the sun lent brilliance to the scene,

STRUCK BY A FREIGHT TRAIN.-A
man about forty years of age, supposed
to be Henry Hotter, of Rockville, Md,
was struck by q northbound freight
train on the Southern Railway at Jack
son City yesterday morning, and re-
ceived injuries from which he is likely
to die. Heller is supposed to have
been drinking, and was asleep on the
track as the train approached. The
sounding of the engine whistle
aroused him, and he awoke in an ap-
parently dazed condition, and made an
effort to get from in front of the engine.
Before he could get off the track, how
ever, the pilot Of the locomotive struck
him and hurled his body for some dis
lance. The train was stopped and the
man was picked up unconscious and
carried to Washington. He was con-
veyed to the Providence Hospital,
where it was found that his skull was
fractured.
