Officer Chuu Pun Brings Down His
Man and Captures some opium.
Police officers Chun Puo and
Kaiwi were in the neighborbood
of the depot about II o'clock last
night on the lookout for opium
which they had reason to believe
had come in on the Australia. A
little after midnight a surrey in
which were two men came in
sight and halted in front of a poi
shop on King street. One of the
men jumped out with a sack 10
his hand and made for the door
of the shop. The two officers MADE
a rush for him and he stopped,
throwing his hand to his hip poe
ket rs if to draw a weapon. Chun
Pun had his gun out first, bow
ever, and fired three shots at the
man, who fell to the street after
the third. He was found to have
been struck in the wrist and the
leg. In the sack he had with him
were "a tins of opium sewed up
in a canvas bag. The man was
taken to the police station and
thence to the hospital where his
wounds were dressed. The other
man and the surrey had dis
appeared in the melee.
Henry Vida of the Marshal's
Office visited the man at ll:3O
this morning and found him suf.
fering considerable pain in the
leg. The bullet had struck him
just above the ankle but the
doctors had not decided whether
amputation was necessary or not.
The man still refused to give his
name but Vida recognized him as
an old employee of the Australia.
The opium captured was of the
very best Hongkong brand aud is
valued at $2l per pound.

orleans and Hawaiians, which the
President of the United States is
to appoint to formulate scheme
of government for the Territory
of Hawaii. The difficulty lies in
legislating the status OF people
who are neither American nor
Hawaiian citizens. When Arizona
Territory was formed out of New
Mexico the similar question was
settled there by giving the Mexican
inhabitants one year in which
they might declare whether they
should be American citizens
or remain Mexicans. In
the case of Hawaiians
annexation, which would be union
of the two countries, of course all
Hawaiian citizens would be trans.
formed into American citizens,
and such a rule as that cited
would only apply to persons un-
der allegiance other than Amer
lean or Hawaiian. Perhaps, also,
the term of residence for natural
ization required of aliens in the
United States might also be ex-
acted of such Americans as may
have forfeited their rights of citl
zenship, under the unrevoked
ruling of Cleveland's administra-
ton, by taking an active part in
Hawaiian revolutionary politics.
