Picturesque Hawaii

An article on Hawaii appears in
the Midland Monthly magazine
from the pen of Carmen Harcourt
Austin. 1t is interesting, but not
accurate as the following excerpts
will show:
The natives have become abso-
lutely reconciled to the present
form of government, and have no
hope or desire to return to the mon
archical system. President Dole has
proved wise and beneficent ruler,
and enjoys the esteem of native and
foreigner alike. The cosmopolitan
character of'the population invites
political upheavas and revolutions,
and President Dol" has shown rare
discretion and judgment in his exc
cutive capacity. He is Hawaiian
by birth, OF sturdy American parent
age, and he is the peer OF any SOW
ereign ON earth in culture, com
manding presence, integrity, aud
honesty.
Practically the United States as
tablished protectorate over the
islands in 1876, when tho Recipro-
city Treaty, allowing the free ad-
mission OF sugar in return for exclu-
sive naval facilities, was concluded.
Honolulu has since been home
port for American ships, and Ameri-
can force has been paramount in
Ha Naiao waters. Geographically,
commercially and socially the domi-
nant power in the islands must be
that Of the United States Annexa.
tiou would prove a serious if not
fatal blow o the sugar industry OF
the islands, as the system OF con-

Severely Punished.

Judge Perry rendered decision
in the Milton manslaughter case this
morning. John Burke who was
found guilty of manslaughter in the
3rd>degree, was sentence to impri-
sonment at hard labor for five years.
His four companions, who had been
found guilty of assault and battery,
were each sentenced to imprison-
ment for one year. The community
is satisfied with the action of the
the Judge, and it is hoped that
everybody inclined to brutality"
will take lesson from this appar-
entity severe punishment.

+ We only care to know here that
Likelike's daughter is coming. The
young chiefess who by the will of
the people was pronounced heir
apparent to the throne of Hawaii is
coming and for her every decent
Hawaiian in his heart has stored a
great amount of love and loyalty.
The young girl, who left us as

A Sensational Trial.

The alleged murderers of DIR.
Smith and their accomplices will be
taken to Kauai tomorrow where a
special term of the Circuit Court will
be held by order of the Chief Justice
to try the men. Mr.. w. A. Kinney
will represent the Government, hay
ing being engaged by the Attorney
General who is unable to attend to
the case on account OF his relation
ship to the murdered doctor.
Deputy Attorney General Dole will
be present at the opening Of the
Court on behalf of the authorities.
The defendants in the case will be
represented by Messrs Rosa and
Robertson and it is believed that a
strong fight will be made to save
the necks OF the men accused OF the
horrible crime.
Attorney-G Smith has re-
fused to take any Active part in the
procedure which may bring the
murderers of his brother to justice.
II Mr.. Smith goes to Kauai, it is to
escort his sisters who necessarily
will be witnesses in the case. A
change Of venue will probably be
asked for aud granted, 1t would be-
very difficult in this instance to
fnd an unbiased jury on Kauai.
All men who believe in law and
order in this community hope that
justice will be done and the guilty
punished.

monopolists when Morgan's gang of
filibusters are ready to make their
final raid. They would dearly love
to make us New Years gift of a
brand new Stars and Stripes, if Pro-
vidence permits.
The Baltimore is undoubtedly a
noble vessel of her kind, although
she did spring leak on her voyage,
and some OF her officers and many
OF her men are old friends and will
be cordially welcomed with the re.
newal of aloha. Her passage down
of seven days and twenty-five hours
was not bad one for her calibrc; it
was only day less than our inter
island steamer, but then speed was
not required as the Nauiwa was not
in port and there were three other
vessels to desl with her in addition
to he troops of the Communards or
the republicans.
AS the Baltimore is here for an in
definite period we shall soon all OF
us be good friends, and then she can
go away at the end of her time ser.

SUMMER VISITS ON MAUI MILL IN THE MOONLIGHT
FIREMAN AND BASE BALLIST
FIGHT FOR BLOOD.
\ Member of the Regiment rcam
Knocked Out In the Third 10 ui-
\ Bare knuckle Set To.

In bare knucliie fight Dctween a
fireman of Engine Company No. . and
a member of the Regiment base 3all
team late Saturday night, the base
ballist was knocked out i'm the thrd
round. 1t was a regular mill, fought
under the moonlight in a broad alley
leading off the upper end of Emma
street. Two well known sporting men
refereed the contest. and less than
dozen spectators were witnesses.
The fight was caused by a dispute
arising from Saturdays ball games.
The fireman spoke slightingly of The
Regiment ball team within the hear
ing of a member of the club, who .'e-
sented it and forthwith challenged
the fire fighter to fight. A war os
words ensued, and was Kept up during
the afternoon and evening. in modern
pugilistic style. Soon all the sports
in town scented blood. and hung in
the wake of the men. awaiting devel-
opments.
Late in the evening the preliminaries
were arranged. 1t was decided that
the men should fight to finish with
bare knuckles. Marquis of Queens
berry rule. 1t was out of the question
TO permit the whole crowd to witness
the affair, for the police would then
have surely learned of the mill and
would have been on hand to stop It.
So the two men and their supporters
managed to slip away from the sports
| and sought out quiet spot in an
alley on upper Emma street. The ref
erees were selected, guards posted IN
every side to give the alarm if the
police should put in an appearance,
and the men stripped to the waist Cor
the mill.
The fireman had easily the advan-
tage in weight and reach, but had
none the best of his opponent in
pluck. 1t was a one-sided contest
from the start, the fireman scoring
knock-down in the first round. The
second h01t was pretty much a repiti-
tion Of the first, the base ballst going
| to earth again. after taking great
dcll Of heavy punishment and doing
but little damage in return. The ref
crees had their hands full, for he
smaller man frequently cli1ched to
avoid punishment and clung to his
opponent with grip like a vice.
Early in the third round the fireman
sent his opponent to the ground with
a singing right swing in the neck,
that left the smaller man faint and
helpless on the grass, where he was
"'unted out and carried, limp, from
'n field. Neither of the men were
much marked up by the Set to.
The mill was the talk of the town
yesterday and great was the dissan-
pointment of the sports who were left
out in the cold.

Worlds Record breakers Will Show
Our Local Cyclists Some Sport--Ar-

The arrival of seven professional
bicycle riders, each holding world
records, may be looked for on the
August Australia. These men, pro-
viding negotiations carry, will open
the Honolulu race meet in September
at the Kewalo track.
The local wheelmen are dickering
with C.. Il. Coulter, manager of the
racing men for the Pacific Coast \
letter has been received from Mr..
Coulter which is very favorable. lie
writes tnnt the boys are all anxious
to visit Honolulu just for the trip ana
are willing to agree to any reasonable
proposition.
Coulter wants to have accompany
him to Honolulu such famous riders
as Zeigler, Jr., who holds six worlds
records; Walter Sanger, the "invin-
chile: II f. McCrea, who ties Zeigler
in records; Jones, Davis, Russ and
Downing. Everyone of these men
hold worlds records.
In his letter. Coulter adds: eve will
bring quads and seXtets and break
records for you while there. We will
guarantee you worlds records in the
races as well as record trials. We had
a meeting of the racing men the Other
evening to consider your proposition
and they left the matter entirely with
me. We can leave our trainers al
home and tighten the expenses in a
good many ways"
The next steamer to the Coast will
take a definite proposition to Mr.

be accepted. The plan is to have the
men come down in August or early il
September and participate in thc
opening meet with the local riders.

TWAS INTENSELY EXCITING.
The Base Ball Game on Saturday Was
Full of Interest.

The Base Ball Game on Saturday Was
Full of Interest
The most exciting game of any yet
played by the League teams this sens
on was that on Saturday afternoon,
in which the Star Club came out vic
torious over the st. Louis College boys
by a score of Is to IA.
When the game was called it was
ney, Jr., or George Lucas would con-
tinue in the capacity of umpires pe-
cause of the controversy which fol-
lowed the decisions rendered during
Mondays game. A. II. Moore of The
Regiment was chosen for the place.
The Stars scored nine runs in the
second inning. The College boys were
compelled to play an uphill game al
most to the very last. The ninth in
ming was intensely interesting thro-
ughout. In the early part the st. Louis
Club had two outs and Aiwahi struck
cut, but Catcher Wilder, in attempts
ing to throw the ball to first base
struck Aiwohi with it. The College
boys piled up three runs during this
ming. but the Stars redeemed them
selves in the last half
One of the features of the game
was triple play by the st. Lonis.
Lionel Hart sent grounder to Short
stop Gleason. who, after touching Nc
Nichol as he was running between
second and third, threw the bail to
Thompson on second, forcing Lishmau
out. Thompson, with the quicllness
of cat hurled the ball to Willis on
first. putting Hart out.
1t was during this inning that Nc
Nichol was allowed to take his base On
balll. Captain Thompson entered a
protest, but as McNichol failed 10
score. it is doubtful whether the p1 10
test will hold.
Nha morning paper places Umpire
Moore ia false light. According tc
the account of the game printed Moore
declared as safe a player who had
batted an infield fly, which was
muffed, when the bases were all full
AS matter of fact only first and
third bases were full. The rule is thai
if the base are all full or there are
runners on first and second, with none
out or one out, an infield fly, caught
or muffed, counts the batsman out.
Umpire Moore says that in the frs
game of the season. in which the
Regiments were defeated by the Stars
Umpire Whitney rendered a decisior
exactly similar to the one rendered ir
Saturdays game, when McNicholl wa:
given first base on balk. The rule
is clear and explicit, and the decision
was not for a moment questioned
when rendered by Whitney.
