OF the British government to the pro-
posals OF the American blmetallfc special
commission, headed by Senator Wolcott.
A automatically worded note.
His londshlp says the government OF
Great Britain is no able to reopen the
India mints at present. He regrets the

the american commissioners. Great
Britain having as great an interest as
the United States and France In secur>
ing a stable par exchange for god and
silver and an enlarged use Of silver.
In these Recommendations Lord

Senator Wolcott is not in London
this evening. Ambassador Andrew
White came from Berlin last Saturday.
He has avoided publicity. but has had
several interviews with Senator VOL,
colt. In the course OF an interview with

Press, Mr.. White said that Germany's
action as to bimerallism will depend up
on England. Discussing the possibility
Of a tariff war. MI. White said:
Il do not believe that Germany will
inaugurate = tariff war with the United

MORBID RELIC SEEKERS.
Tho COURT ROOM OF JUDGE TUT
HILL FURNISHES TROPHIES
FOR THE CROWD.
They Got Away With the Gavel and Cut
Benches and Tables Into Squares
OF the Right Size to Garry Away
Under Their Coats-Reporters Look
Through Glasses From the Houses.

Chicago, Oct. 2O.-The court room OF
Judge Tuthill, before whom the Luet-
CERT case was tried, Is the scene of van
dalism that has no parallel in the an
nails OF sensational trials. Certain o.
the spectators took advantage Of the
absence OF the bailiffs and Clerk knoch
and seized On every portable article OF
stationery. Sections Of the improvised
desks used by the newspaper reporters
during the tedious ordeal were even car
ried off by the morbid crowd. Fearing
that the relic hnnters would grow des>
perate and demolish the fixtures, a POI
liceman was detailed inside the bar.
Few ornaments which remained after
the chamber had been abandoned were
hastily removed across the hallway.
The gavei which Judge Tuthill has
welded to keep the feminine section o.
the attendance seated. has disappeared.
Clerk Knoch had hoped to ecu the
rosewood mallet with an autograph o.
the presiding Judge on the handle for
his cub. and was sorely disappointed.
SO bare was Judge Tuthills' desk OF
court materials that had the jury re.
turned and he been summoned to re,
ce.ye their finding he would have had
TO send to a neighboring drug store for
paper and writing materials.
During a temporary absence Of the
judge and clerk. the bailiifs at the doc.
relaxed their viliglance and went into
the room above to- the jury's quarters.
While they were gone the sections OF
the long wooden writing benches were
removed. These were cut in squares o,
a foot so that they might be hidden
under an overcoat without exciting sus.
picion should any Of the wardens be en-
countered.
When Clerk Knoch returned he took
means to discourage further attempts
on the part OF the souvenir hunters. The
drawers OF Judge Tuthiil's desk were
unlocked and the books and papers re-
moved to Judge Horizons chambers.
Electric light bulbs and globes were Sc
curely fastened. so that they could not
be made away with by the morbidly in
clined. A guard was instructed to watch
the furniture and window sashes and
arrest anybody who tried to leave his
initials on the pillars.
Visitors to the court room are now
closely watched by the bailiffs and a
special guard behind the rail o. the
courts bench. The top Of that piece OF
furniture was as bare as if a hurricane
had swept across the room. Any at
tempt to get inside the rail, except by
persona known to the custodians o; the
place, is fruitless.
Judge Tuthill, in The course Of his fre>
quent communications with the court
room by telephone, inquired after his
gavel and inkstand. He said he was
particularly anxious to keep both 40
mementoes for his wife. When he was
told that all the small articles were gone
he expressed himself in vigorous Lam
guage.

at the net has been the talk in p. 7.
G. circles for some time past.
The Beretania Tennis Clubs prom
inent players are gradually beginning
to show up for practice. AS the even
ings grow longer, the club expects to
have it's courts we'll filled by those
wishing to make a showing in the An
nual Tournament. Amongst these
may be considered, Messrs. Ernest
Wodehouse, Sam Woods, Charles At
horton, Donald Ross and Shanks.
The club is represented in the Ha
waiian Tennis Association by Messrs
Ernest Ross, w. G.. Parke and G. H.
Atherton. Interest is very much alive
amongst the members generally, and
they confidentialy expect to make a
hard fight for the championship this
year.
A movement is on foot to establish
a Junior branch with connection with
the B. T. c., and there seems to be
every possibility of it's going through
within a week or two. The idea has
been proved by the P. T. G. to be an
excellent one for the future of the
club and tennis generally. AS the old
players drop out, the juniors will fall
in, and so the interest is always kept
alive.
The B. T. c. Courts are in good
shape, Notwithstanding the hard usage
they have had. They are being taken
special care of in view of the coming
tournament.

Another School Concert.

Kalihi-waena school will give con-
cert in the drill shed on the evening
of March 9Th. The proceeds of the
entertainment will be used to pay for
an organ which the school purchased
a few days ago. a reasonable admis-
sion charge will be imposed on the
occasion of the concert.

OF that meeting and still hoping against
hope in some localities that it will
take place within month or two.
A movement is being set on foot
just now to have a college league, such
as they have in the States. Just the
mere statement of that fact will make
a great many hearts glad. Nothing
would conduce more to good, clear
sport than to have a league composed
of Punahau, Kamehameha and st.
Louis. Each institution has some re-
markedly fine players. st. Louis has
list that will surprise the natives, and
Kamehameha has some excellent blood.
Punahau is keeping very quiet, but
she's all there. Many people in the
city would like TO see games played
for the honor of winning, and not for
money consideration. Pick teams from
the members of the various institutions
mentioned, and such a thing viii be
possible. Amateur talent will be the
only element in competition.
The Kamehameha boys say that they
are willing TO go into any league
where the professional element is de-
barred, and where not a cent is
charged for admission. They are anX-
ious to play somebody right away.

ON THE LINKS.

Who said that golf was dead? If
anyone thinks that for a moment he
will be convinced of his mistake by
just suggesting such thing to any of
the golf enthusiasts in Honolulu. Ly-
ing dormant would perhaps be more
fitting term to apply to the present
state of golf in the city. However, how
can anyone be expected to tramp out
among the hills on Saturdays, since
for several weeks past it has just driz-
zled enough on those days to make
the prospect unpleasant. When the
weather clears up little the Nuuanu
golf players will get to work, and if
all the previous records are not broken
it will only be through accident. In
the meantime, there is time to mend
the sticks that were broken last year
in unnecessary encounters with the
hard soil.

By all odds the most important move
in the sporting line during the week
was the formation of a stock company,
composed of a member from the firm
of H. Hackfeld & Co., Tom King of the
Hawaiian Cyclery, and ]. T. Lund, who
keeps a general repair and machine
shop on Fort street, just above Hotel.
In regard TO the name to be given this
new enterprise, it is quite probable
that Hawaiian Cyclery" will be re-
tanned The object is to set up a gen.
eraI sporting goods house in one of the
large rooms on the ground floor OF the
new Love building, paying special at
tention to bicycles.
Besides keeping wheels for rent, the

might be said that the 1897 Reming-
ton claims more improvements than
any other wheel on the market.
In addition 10 wheels there will be
on sale guns, baseball, cricket, tennis,
fishing and all other kinds of sporting
goods. Then there will be a repair
shop. a nickel-plating department and
others necessary to the carrying on of
such a house.
Large orders will be sent away on
the first steamer to the Coast, and in
the first week in March the new es-
adjustment will throw open its doors

CRICKET.

The cricket men of the city are very
much disappointed that there will be
no match today on account of the de-
parture of the Icarus. The officers of
that ship express themselves as equally
disappointed since, having gotten used
to walking on Hawaiian soil they were
very anxious to have another rub with
the II. G. G. fellows.
However, the outlook isn't so gloomy.
There is plenty of material in the
ranks of the II. C. C. for two teams,
and then there is good material in the
barracks for another. That makes
three, and certainly some interesting
matches might be held.

NEW YEARS CALLING.

4 Good Old Custom That Has Gone With
ByEpne Years.
The old custom of New Years CALL
ing, which for many years has been fall
ing into disfavoF, seems this year deader
than ever. Except in certain quarters
and among certain classes whose social
canons are neither new nor exacting,
there will be no calling. The doors
Of society will be more tightly shut than
eyer tomorrow, and even the daintily
ribboned basket at the doorbell will be
missing, for the whole custom Of ex-
changing greetings on the advent OF the
New Year is dead beyond the hope OF
resuscitation.
And it ia an end which no sensible
person regrets. What abuses il led 60,
what disgraceful scenes il rendered pos.
sible, what social ontrages il sanctioned
or tolerated, and how silly and disgust.
ing it ali became before society resolved
to crush it outl The life of this deceased
social function may be said TO be coex-
iBteDt with the life Of the republic Al
it existed In the earlier days 1t was, nd
doubt. both pleasurable and profitable
custom. 1t had its origin in France, bu
the custom became fully migrated upol
the American social fabric during th'
last years Of the preceding century
New York and the cities of the soutl
were where it was clung to most tena
ciously. The Puritans OF New Englans
paid little or no attention to the New
Years amenitieR Thanksgiving day wa
their day, and they had as little use 70
New Years day as for Christmas. An
the same may be said OF the Quakers il
Philadelphia. with whom the custom o
New Years calling never did obtain gen
eral or cordial recognition. But anon
the descendants of the Dutch in NeV
York and New Jersey and the cavalier
of Virginia the social functions OF th
new year were never lost sight Of, an
from them the custom spread to all POI
