WORRYING THE LAWYERS.

The Japanese authorities recently
arrested Mr.. Stahlgren, who was on
board a British vessel in Japanese
waters. He insisted on being released
at once on the ground that he was
under the British flag, or, in other
words, on British soil, and his person
could not be touched under treaty
rights, excepting by the British Consul.
But the Japanese officials at once dis
played a legal resource and acuteness
which will command the admiration
of the lawyers. AS the vessel hap
pened to be aground at the time the
arrest was made these officials insisted
that Mr.. Stahlgren was no longer on
British but on Japanese soil; that the
touching of the earth by the keel of
the vessel at once changed the legal

A good deal OF healthy enthusiasm
was worked off at the boat races on
Saturday afternoon at Pearl Harbor.
The public has taken as much interest,
probably, as have the members of the
respective boat clubs, in the prepara-
tons and training during the last few
weeks for the final trial of skill. The
crews have trained faithfully, and they
rowed well, so the public was not dis
appointed in the exhibition. All Eng
land takes keen delight in the races at
Henley, and great crowds assemble in
the United States when the Eastern
colleges have their races in June HUI
man nature is much the same in the
Islands, and it is no wonder that bust
ness men and lawyers forsake their
desks to see good sport. The crews
certainly deserve sincere thanks for
furnishing the community with a
pleasant afternoon off,

the man was, they admitted, on British
soil, and entitled to British protection.
The moment the keel touched tie
ground he passed from British 20 Jap
anese jurisdiction. They have some
reason for this in the common law OF
the English-speaking race. An article
like stick is personal property. But
if it is driven down into the earth
it becomes real property and may not
be removed. If the vessel happened TO
rise and fall with the tide, Mr.. Stahl-
gren found himself alternating between
British and Japanese jurisdiction. A
fine point has been raised in this case.

But, we repeat again what we
have many times said before, that
if it is the sentiment of two-thirds
of the American Senate, that these
Islands should now be annexed, for
supreme political reasons which
they understand quite as we'll as
we do, annexation will take place,
even if these Islands were overrun
with cannibals. 1t is the uncer-
tainty about this sentiment that
makes a thorough preparation of
our case necessary.

CANTON, Dec. 5.-Mother Mckinley
has passed the fourth day Of her illness
and enters upon the fourth night with
the spark Of life still burning dilnly.
There has not been material develop
ment in her case today. Her condition
has continued one of steady wasting
away. The family watched by the bed
side all day, prepared for the end at any
moment and sometimes feeling that Il
had come, as the patient was seized with
sinking spells such as was yesterday
mistaken for second stroke OF paral-
ysis. During these attacks she would
perceptiably weaken, almost cease to
breathe and show scarcely sign OF an
imation. For the most part these spells
were limited to half an hour. and when
they were over she would resume the
quiet repose characteristic Of the entire
illness. About the middle Of the after
noon, however, more serious sinking
spell occurred and lasted two hours.
Several times those keeping vigil
thought the last flutter Of life's flame
had come. The attack passed away ct
last, leaving the patient almost the sams
as before it occurred.
There is a possibility that she may
survive the night or even longer, but
those who have been at the bedside most
constantly have the least hope Of such
O result. Communication was estah-
lished with the White House as soon as
the president arrived there and tele-
graph wire is constantly open to WASH
ington to advise the president of every
occurrence in the sick room. Besides
this, he had several times talked with
his brother, Abner Mckinley, BY tele-
phone.
DR.. Phillips, the attending physician.
had a number Of calls during the day..
This evening he said he could report
nothing new. There had been no notable
change in the patient during the day.
She had continued to grow weaker In
the same manner and at about the same
rate as during the past few days. He was
satisfied that this condition would pre-
vail to the end. Asked as to the pros
poets Of her surviving the night, he
said: Eyes, there is a possibility Of her
living till morning. Indeed, I am In
clined to think she will. But she has
been sinking so long that no one could
make a prediction for the future with
any assurance of certainty. The case
is one in which we must be prepared for
the end at any moment. There will be
no rally, no more conscious periods, no
final struggle"
The patient has taken no nourishment
since Thursday. 1t cannot be admin
istered by ordinary methods, and the
case is one in which heroic methods OF
food are not regarded az
justiflable.

A PIONEER GONE
Q. T. Ryland Of San Jose Has Passed
Away

away
SAN JOSE, Dec. 5.-Hon. Caius Taci-
tus Ryland died this afternoon in his
sixty-third' year. He left widow and
children to mourn his loss. In his death
a notable figure. a pioneer and widely
known and conspicuous citizen passes
away.
c. T. Ryland was born in Missouri and
at an early age came to California and
eventually settled in this county He
was lawyer and an enrgetic business
man, engaging with success in various
enterprises. He accumulated a large
fortune and was one Of the rich men
Of the county. The Ryland block, prob
ably the handsomest in this city, was
built and owned by him. He leaves other
valuable real estate holdings, as we'll as
large values in personal property. He
had been for years a large holder Of
local bank stock. and until he retired
from active business, participated in the
management. He married daughter of
one of California's first governors, Bur-
nett. John w. Ryland, who is now post
master, having been appointed by Pres
idert Cleveland, Is his son. At one time
G. T. Ryland was one of the most active
lawyers Of this bar. but his large busi-
ness interests caused him to withdraw
from the practice Of his profession. His
death removes one Of the very few of.
those hardy spirits which connected the
pioneer days with the present, and he
will be sincerely regretted by a large
circle Of relatives and friends He had
been In falling hath for some time.

RAPIER's REASONS
For Refusing to Cease to Be Post.
master at Mobile


MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 5-Postmaster
Rapier. whose successor has been ap-
pointed by President Mckinley but who
declines to surrender his office, contends
that the section of the revised statutes
under which second-class postmasters
are appointed provides in terms that
such postmasters are appointed for the
term of four years and can he removed
by the president only, and with the ad-
vice and consent Of the senate. The
president on the 1st Of October gave to
P. D. Barker a Republican, commits
sion as Rapier's successor. Barker, who
was out Of the city, did not return until
recently, and, on the 1st of December,
demanded of Postmaster Rapier the sur
render Of the Office. Mr.. Rapier claims
he received no notice of his removal ac-
cording to law and will not surrender the
office until the legality of his removal
has been passed on by the courts. Bark
er. the new appointee, was postmaster
at Mobile during the Harrison adminis-
tration and served his full term Of four
years.
