Nuuanu avenue, near School street, and
that number of ladies had been badly
frightened by coming upon him sud-
denly lying in the shadows.
Lieutenant Needham and another Of
flcer were sent up and found the man
to be an old Portuguese. He was lying
fast asleep on a couple of bags con-
tanning his clothes, and to all intents
and purposes was perfectly cOmforta-
bic. He was aroused, and when asked
some questions, seemed in a dazed con-
dftiOn. He was hardly able to get into
the<police wagon, being so weak and
stiff. At the Police Station, he was
given a cell in which to sleep over
night. His case will be reported to the
Portuguese Commissioner today.
The man is the same one about
whom complaint was made Thursday
by residents of Auwaiolimu. It seems
that he was wandering aimlessly about
the place and proved a nuisance to all.
The complaint was that he was a ma
Mac. He was taken to the Police Sta
ton, and upon examination yesterday
was released.

TO SHUT OUT ANARCHISTS.

The Sort of immigration to BE
discouraged.
WASHINGTON, August 13.-Com-
missioner PowdeTly of the immigration
Bureau has sent the following letter Of
instructions to immigration officials at
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Quebec relative to the an
ticipated arrival in this country of
Spanish anarchists:
Information has reached this bu-
reau that one Planas, a leader of the
Spanish anarchists, has been expelled
from France, being conducted to Havre,
from which port it is expected he will
sail to the United States. am also
advised that Tarrida Marmol, another
Spanish anarchist, is believed TO have
gone to England, and probably Is en-
route to this country. A careful inspec-
ton should be made of arriving pas
sengers, in order that should any OF
this class be detected a careful eXami-
nation can be had as to their right OF
admission into the United States under
existing laws.

INSTRUCTION BY MAIL.

How the Cosmopolitan University
VIII be Carried on.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, August 14.-John
Brisben Walker spoke freely today
about the university which he is to
found and of which DIR. Andrews, lately
president of Brown University, is to
be the first executive. The university
is to be entitled the Cosmopolitan Uni
versity, and work will be commenced
in October. The work is to be carried
on entirely on the Chautauqua corre-
spondence plan. DR.. Andrews has al
ready begun work, appointing the fol-
lowing members of the advisory board
of 10: Spencer Trask, the well-known
banker of New York; President Meal
lister of the Drexel Institute, Philadel-
phia; Albert Shaw, American editor of
the Review of Reviews; Gen. Thomas
Thomas, prominent railroad man, and
George F. Seward, president of the FL
deity and Casualty Company of New
York. A feature will be that there will
be no payment of fees of any kind on
the part of the students

cation selected by Minister Cooper is
an exceptional one in many respects.
Located on a knoll at an elevation
high enough to command an uninter-
rupted view Of everything in the val
ley, it has also the advantage of being
at a point where the delightful trade
winds will make every day in the year
cool and pleasant for the occupants. 4
The designs are by Ripley & Dickey,
from suggestions by the owner, who
obtained his ideas in Southern Cali
fornia, where there are many Mexican
mansions, and the new residence of the
Minister will follow in general detail
the same style, the principal difference
being in the roof, which will be shin
gled instead of tiled.
The bed rooms are very large, and
with the dining and music rooms con-
stitute the principal feature of the in
terror. The makai side of the house and
a portion of the Eva side .will have
broad veranda, entrance TO which is
had through archways. The dimensions
Of the makai veranda are 15X65 feet,
almost sufficient to be called a lanai
The whole dimensions of the building
are 6SX100. In the center will be an
open court, the various rooms opening
on to a wide veranda, which surrounds
the court. The main house is on the
right wing. which will have five large
bed rooms with bath and dressing
rooms adjoining.
On one end Of the building there will
be a second story, divided into rooms
for lounging, and one for billiard ta-
bles. Long, sloping windows in the ga
bic roof will admit light and air into
these apartments.
The grounds surrounding the build
ing will be laid out by a landscape
gardner and planted in tropical plants.
The center of the court will contain
a circular lawn and beautiful fountain
The stone for the building will be
taken from a quarry on the Minister'S
land and about 300 yards from the
dwelling The house is designed with
a view to the comforts of the occupants
Minister Cooper has an excellent sup
ply Of water from a we'll on the prem
ises. This is forced over the lot by
means of a geared aermOtor. Addition
al pipes will be laid, so that the en-
tire grounds may be irrigated.
Minister Cooper was one of the fortu-
nate ones who purchased Manoa prop
erty long ago, before the boom. He
has a tract of rs acres adjoining the
Montana property. The demand for su-
bRrbaH house lots in that vicinity is
so great just now that the property has
grown very valuable.

Fastest Battle Ship Ahoat it Is
Said.
WASHINGTON, August 17.-Oficers
of the Navy Department were much in
terested today in the report Of the trial
trip of the Yashima, the new Japanese
battle-ship built in England. She is
the fastest battle-ship afioat, and it is
claimed from the showing made on her
trial trip that she is one of the great
est fighting machines ever built.
She is 372 feet long, with 73 feet
beam and 26.3 feet draught and has
II, 400 tons displacement. Under one
half air pressure for four hours she
made 1922 knots and for a single hour
1916 knots. She has the very best arm
or, ranging in thickness from IS to IA
inches. Naval officers says that there
is no equal to her in point of speed.
and while there is some discussion as
TO the amount of coal she will con-
sumo there seems to be no question as
to her splendid type.

MORE OPIUM.
Lieut.. kekai Arrests Chin WO,
Chinese Laundryman.

Lieut. hSkdl Arrests 1nln NO,
Chinese Laundryman.
Early last evening Lieutenant Ke-
kai arrested Chin Wo, Chinese laun-
dryman, doing business on King street,
in the vicinity of the depot, on the
charge Of unlawful possession of opium.
A hornful of opium and a smoking
outfit were captured. Upon arrival at
the Police Station, Chin Wo showed a
certificate emitting him to use opium,
but if he thought he would forthwith
be released, he was mistaken, for the
officers thought best to hold him to see
how much opium he was allowed to
use.
A case of similar nature came up in
the Police Court on Thursday after
noon, in which the three defendants,
Cinnamon caught in the Kwong Lee
Yuen building, were charged with un-
lawful possession of opium. One of the
number exhibited a certificate, show
ing that he is entitled to use opium,
but seeing that Chillingworth and
Vida had found a whole tin full of
opium in the room where they were,
not to say anything about the smaller
quantities in horns, Judge Wilcox
found the possessOr of the certificate
and his associates guilty and fined
them 500 and costs each. Appeals
have been noted.

Offered to PAY.

In one of the afternoon papers of
Thursday there was an article referring
to a certain lieutenant on the U. S. S.
Marion, and stating that he ran into
and demolished an old lady's wheel
while riding along with young society
girl; also, that he refused to pay dam
ages.
1t is learned that the officer, instead
OF refusing to pay, said that he was
perfectly willing to put up the requis-
ite amount Of cash in the event of
reasonable demand for damages. To
back this statement, he left money in
the hands of VIM. A Henshall, attor-
ney, who is waiting for a claim to be
sent in by the old lady or the physician

determined effort to break down Jo-
seph Chamberlain's domination of the
Unionist party. It was made clear in
the past session of Parliament that the
Unionist party is steadily gravitating
toward his leadership
Mr.. Chamberlain is by far the ablest.
cleverest man in the House of Com
mons since Mr.. Gladstone's retirement,
eclipsing Mr.. Balfour and "bossing''
the Unionist party on all important
questions of policy The Tories dislike
and distrust him as an interloper and
resent his forcing down their throats
modified editions of radical measures
as the only feasibly Tory policy.
The suggestion is made by one of
them that he be assailed and driven
out of public life for dishonorable con-
duct in connection with the Jameson
raid and his championship of Cecil
Rhodes. AS this attitude was taken by
Mr. Chamberlain to square with the
ayoWed sentiment of the Tories, their
animus toward him is apparent.
He treats their attacks with assumed
Indifference, but it is more than sus-
pected that they have their origin
among his own Cabinet colleagues. The
Tories cannot get rid of him any way,
for he will change his policy to suit
every passing popular breeze and
whatever policy he adopts he can ad-
vocate it with more effect than any of
