Professor Jacobsen, or as he is better

Judge Bradshaw. But they didn't come

Jakey the cold shoulder, and we give the
judges reason in his own words: "While
attending court lately at Condor "Jakey"

would have been in a terrible predica
ment if this important business had no
been attended to. The real newspaper

posal of the Interior Department. Such
are the instructions, at least, under

so energetically to the work that Min
lister Cooper has decided to leave the
entire matter in his hands, as it was
before the discovery that it was an af-
fair of the Interior Department.

ing, sin accordance with the advertise
ments in the papers and will be opened
here. The statements that the tend
ers must go to the Interior Depart

SPRECKELSVILLE ROAD MAY BE
EXTENDED TWELVE MILES.
C. A. Spreckels in Favor of the Exten-
sion-Valuable Engine Recovered
from the Leahi-An Accident,

Thomas Carter, the San Francisco
car builder, returned yesterday from
a trip to Maui, where he was the
guest of c. A. Spreckels. He has been
figuring with Mr.. Sprecl>els on new
equipment for the railroad, which
runs through Spreckelsville plantation.
There is talk of extending the road
through to the caost at Lahaina, dis
tance of some twelve miles. If the road
is extended and the probabilities are
very strong that it will be, it is to
have an entire new equipment.
Mr.. Carter was taken over the rail
road in special car by Superinten-
dent Berg and then driven in car
riage from the western terminus to
the coast at Lahaina over the proposed
route. He says the road can be eX-
tended at comparatively small cost.
A general railroad system all over
the island would be a vast improve
his opinion it will not be long before
it is built.
Mr.. Carter reports that Mr.. Spreck-
els has been successful in recovering
from the wreck of the bark Leahi a
new donkey engine worth $1,000, to-
gether with 200 tons of coal, and, as
the weather continues favorable, he
stands chance to get out the re-
mainder of the coal cargo of $50 tons.
1t was the engine Mr.. Spreckels was
after when he paid $625 for the wreck.
Before the wreck was put up at auc-
tion he offered 5000 for the engine, but
his offer was refused. After he landed
the machine he refused $500 for it,
shipping it to his plantation, where he
was in need of one. Alrea6- Mr..
Spreckels has realized very handsome.
ly on his investment.
! 1t was during Mr.. Carter's stay nj
Spreckelsville that C. A. Spreckels met
with painful accident. He was
mounting his horse last Thursday
when the stirrup gave away and he
fell, striking on his head and wrench
ing his neck. For day or two Mr.
| Spreckels was just about prostrated
by the accident, but careful treatment
restored him to health, and when Mr.
Carter left Kahului he was feeling
much better.

EXCITEMENT At STATION
CASE OF GERMAN MEASLES
BREAKS OUT AMONG JAPANESE.
At First 1t Was Thought that Small
Pox Had Appeared Among the Stud
ents-Extra Precautions Taken.

There was great excitement among
the japanese passengers from the
Shinshiu Maru in quarantine at the
island, for little while this morning.
One of their number developed case
of German measles. When the red
rash appeared on his face his brethren
scattered and Superintendent McVeigh
was hastily called. For all he knew it
was case of the dread smallpox, and
a message was sent post haste to DR..
Day to go over to the station. After
a careful examination of the patient
Dr. Day said there could be no doubt
that the case was one of German
measles. He recommended that the
patient be isolated and cared for, pre-
scribng few simple remedies.
There is not much prospect of the
Japanese getting away from the quar-
antine station for at least a week. The
eighteen day period was up at noon
yesterday and the work of disinfection
and cleansing was commenced in the
afternoon. This will take some time,
as every man, woman and child must
be bathed Then all who have not
been vaccinated must be, and the
chances are that large ajority of
the new comers have not been treated.
Because of the outbreak of measles It
will be necessary to observe special
caution and that will take more time.
After the doctors get through the
customs officials have much to do be-
fore the Japanese can land. BY the
last steamer from Japan private infor-
nation was received that on the Shin
shu Maru would probably be found
200 or more Japanese who had left the
country without the consent of the
authorities, and who would have no
right to land here. This will necessi-
tate a very searching inquiry on the
part of the customs authorities.
Surveyor of Port Stratemeyer says
that the reports printed that the
steamship had no clearance papers
from her own Government are with
out foundation in fact, made out of
the whole cloth. Capt. Mishikama pre-
sented Mr.. Stratemeyer with his clear
ance and bill of health when the letter
boarded his vessel outside. The clear
ance is written in Japanese and the Of
fetal interpreter could not read it,
but the Surveyor is satisfied of its gen.
uineness, and on the strength of it
permitted the cabin passengers and Of
ficers of the vessel to land.
Upon the advice of Collector General
Castle, Surveyor Stratemeyer has de-
cided not to commence his official ex-
animation of the new comers until
the quarantine officers are finished, as
there is no occasion for him to take
the risk. So that it will be three OF
four days yet before the rights of the
japanese to land are passed upon.
