In witness whereof l have hereunto set my
hand and seal the above named day.
JAMES B. CASTLE,
Colleetor-General of Customs OF the Republic
OF Hawaii.
This was intended to take the re-
sponsibility or the unus OF granting this
registry off the Government. As the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs and the Collector
General accepted this certificate we ar
ranged thai the China be sent on her
voyage to Yokohama and Hongkong at
4P NJ the next day, as she had some 300
Chlnese and japanese passengers vet to
take aboard. We sailed from Honolulu at
noon las: Sunday and The China was to
sail few hours later.
The opinion generally expressed in
Honolulu was that in the end permanent
registry will have to be granted. If
Hawaii should be annexed AN American
corporation would profit from this
registry.
II had the ship San Mateo transferred
10 Hawaiian registry, and only eleven
months ago the ship AZ &c. Recently
also the British ship Fort george obttined
Hawaiian registry, and there has been no
compla laint, though the tran fer was made
exclusively or the benefit of alien specu-
lators. The United State, would prob.
ably not have complained, but HaWan
raised the disturbance herself.
The Pacific Commerc al Advertiser, the
Government organ, in its issue OF August
IA, says in a long editorial on This subject:
The real question is must the Collector give
a register? II appears that the Foreign once
for some years has authorized Consuls 10 issue
preliminary registers 10 vessels built abroad,
but purchasediand owned by Hawaiians These
preliminary dOings converted into per
manent registry on the arrival OF the vessel,
but it seems there is no law providing for the
"preliminary" act.
Any registration of foreign mot American)
vesse.s in this republic is, of course most un-
desirable, owing to the strong hostility o. Re-
pu blicans in America to the registration OF
foreign ships here. which, under annexation,
would become American. The Government
wisely desires 10 follow the dominant Amerl-
can policy.
If registration is refused without the action
of the court, Colonel Macfarlane may have
serious claim against this Government FOR
damages, which the United States would have
to assume in the event OF annexation.

BJECTED BY FORCE.
A Water Front saloon Keeper Who
Objected to Being Put Out OF


Ittcok five Deputy Sheriffs, three po-
licemen and carpenter and plumb
to eject a waterfront saloon keeper yes
terday, and before the officers of the law
got through with the job they looked as
though they had passed through winter
in the Klon6ike.
D. c. G. Gerlick has occupied the prem
ises at 271 East street for several months
past without paying rent and the landlord
finally became weary OF calling for his
money and being told that he must wait
until the morrow. So he called IN the as.
sistance of Deputy Sheriff Gallapd and
his posse and through the assistance of
the courts decreed that the saloon man
with his wares must camp on the street
until new location could be secured.
Gerlick owed $3.50 when the eviction was
decided on.
When the Sheriff young men arrived on
the scene the saloon man was fortified In
an upper room and refused to move on
any pretext. Considering that they were
taking their lives in their hands to throw
MIN out the deputies called up the Harbor
police station and asked for assistance.
Three staIwart guardians of the peace
res ponded and under their guidance the
stock and fixtures of the place were speed
lily removed to the street.
Ihen came tne IoD oI eJecllhS Nellich,
and it was enough TO tax the energles OF
the most determined OF the deputies. He
refus ed to leave his stronghold and even
when Deputy Gadand called upon him
in German to surrender he refused to do
So and defied the Sheriff and his minors
to oust him.
The sight of the brass buttons of the
policemen, backed by healthy looking
crowbar, were too much for the saloon
keeper, however, anu he capitulated and
allowed himself To be led 10 the door.

BUNOHED THEIR HITS.
An Easy Victory Batted Out by the
Union Iron Works Team.


Union Iron Works Team.
Errors on the part of the Santa Clara
nine and punched hits by the players in
the Union Iron Works team gave the lat
ter an easy victory in an uninteresting
game yesterday at Central Park by a score
of 10 to 6.
AT one stage of the game McGucken,
the third baseman of the Santa Claras,
made two errors in succession at critical
time. There was much wild throwing,
honors being about even in this respect.
Twice the visitors had three men on
bases. Then their batting powers failed,
and out of these excellent opportunities
they secured but one run.
Sandeman of the home nine made the
sensational play of the day. He started
from near second after fly, running
back wards in the direction of the initial
bag. No one expected to see him connect
and freeze 10 the sphere as it was seen to
be descending almost directly over the
first base. But he kept up his backward
sprint, and scored one of the most bril-
liant plays seen on the diamond in this
City for some time.

the system is flying along the track of dis
case at such a frightful pace that no ordinary
methods will prevent disaster. There are
plenty of medicines which act merely as
brakes to "slow up" the disease and put
off disaster for a little while; but that isn't
enough. What is needed is medicine that
will instantly reverse the entire wasting,
degeuerating process.
When people are losing flesh and strength
and vitality, with the life oozing out of them
day after day, they need DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which acts directly upon
the vital forces, completely transforms the
entire nutritive organism and totally re-
verses the wasting, debilitating process
which is at the root of all diseases.
1t enables the digestive and blood-rnaking
organs to supply the circulation with an
abundance of pure, healthy, red blood. It
stops the wasting of tissue, builds up solid
muscular flesh and healthy nerve-force.
Miss Mary Whitman, of East Dickinson,
Franklin Co., N ", writes: "For nearly ten
months have had bad cough. and instead of
getting better, it grew worse until was advised

CHICAGO, May IA meeting of the

here today for the purpose of consider
ing the rates and arrangements of the So
ciety of Christian Endeayorers which ia

tive committee. which has had the matter
under consideration, submitted its report,
which has already been published.
The general meeting adopted the report
of the committee as far as the lines rep
resented were concerned, but there We're
many OF the lines not represented. 1t
was therefore decided TO postpone definite
action until next week, and Chairman
Caldwell was instructed to secure votes
of the lines not represented and to report
at the next meeting. II was reported at
the meeting that conditional promises TO
become members had been received from
the Great Northern. Northern Pacific.

Rio Grand roads.
The Canadian Pacific road has refused
positively 10 become a member of the

Not only are the Western roads uneasy
over the refusal of the Canadian Pacific,

the roads have. and they are not at an
