The Last Governor.
ED. The INDEPENDENT:--

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:-
The Bulletin. of last evening, says:
"The Hawaii Herald is historically
inaccurate in saying that John T.
Baker was the last Governor of Ha
waii Mrs. Baker, or High Chiefess
Ululani, was the last to hold the
gubernatorial commission for the
big island"
In this instance, the Bulletin. is
wholly historically inaccurate. 1t
may be remembered that the Re-
form or Revolutionary Party Of 1887,
at the special session Of their Legls-
lature held in that year, abolished
the Office of Governor; the Legis-
lature of 1890 reinstituted such
office.
Ululani was the last to hold the
gubernatorial commission prior to
1887; but on the Sth of February,
1892, Hon. John T. Baker was ap-
pointed by Queen Liliuokalani,
Governor OF the Island of Hawaii;
on the same day Hon. w. II. Rice
was appointed Governor of the ISL
ands Of Kauai and N,ihau.

HER LAST VOYAGE.
The Ship Kenilworth Destroyed by
Fire with Honomu and onomea
Sugar on Board.

Il "
Fire with Honomu and onomea
| Sugar on Board.
A private dispatch received by
the Merchants Exchange Yesterday
stated that the American ship Ken
ilworth was on fire and that Captain
j. q. Baker, Mate FL, Piper and a
boy named Hobson were dead. The
telegram was dated at Valparaiso,
and the general impression among
shipping men is that the vessel had
caught fire and the crew, being
unable to subdue the flames, had
abandoned her. In the struggle to
save the ship the captain, mate and
boy had lost their lives.
The Kenilworth came here in the
early part OF the year from New
York with general cargo. After
discharging she went from here to
Hilo, ii. l., where she loaded sugar
for New York, She sailed from
here March 81, and on May % she
started on her voyage around the
Horn. The fire must, therefore,
have broken out when she was
somewhere in the vicinity of the
Cape of Storms, and the crew was
probably picked up by a passing
vessel and landed at Valparaiso.
This is not the first time that
both master and vessel have been in
trouble. In 1889 the Kenilworth
was in the big Port Costa fire. On
that occasion she was burned to the
waters edge, but her hull was pur-
chased from the British owners by
some San Francisco people, who, at
great expense, fitted her up again
and put her under the American
flag. Captain Baker was master of
the clipper ship Willie Rosenfeld
when she was lost few years ago.
After that disaster he was made
master Of the Kenilworth.
The Kenilworth was built in 1888
at Port Glasgow by j Reid & Co.
She was 2l79 tons net burden, 300
feet 2 inches long, 43 feet l inch
broad and "a feet 2 inches deep.
She was owned by A. Sewall & Co.,
Bath, Me. Her cargo was insured
in this city for $25O,OOO and the hull
in the East for $65,OOO. The freight

AFTER THE RAILROADS
vIOLATORs OF THE WAR REVENUE
LAW TO BE PUNISHED.
stamps Not Attached to Rebate
Checks When Fares Are Paid to
COnductors-PrOgrcss of Education.

WASHINGTON. Sept 19.-Upon official
information received at the Treasury De-
partment, that certain railroad companies
are not affixing the required 2-cent revenue
stamps to rebate checks given to passengers
when fares are paid to the conductors, the
commissioner of internal revenue has given
instructions that evidence be procured with
view to instituting proceedings against
these companies for violation of the law.
The commissioner has held that policies
of life insurance issued since July / are tax
able, without regard to the fact that the
premiums may have been paid and the busi-
ness acquired prior to that date. He has
also held that all checks drawn by officers
of states, counties and municipalities for the
discharge of obligations of the state, coun-
ties or municipalities are exempt from stamp
tax.
The commissioner has made a ruling to
the effect that messages of officials of steam
ship companies whose ships ply between
United States ports are not exempt from the
stamp tax, under the commissioner ruling
as to messages of railroad officials when so
sent, when the steamship lines are owned
or controlled by railroad companies. He
also holds that messages of fast freight
lines are not exempt from the tax, and that
the fact that an individual holds a teIe-
graph frank has no bearing upon the ques-
tax of the messages sent by such frank
holder

Cabinet Accused of Trying to Destroy
the AImy-Chinese Edicts-Re-
patriatiOn of Spaniards.

PARIS, Sept. 19.-The Duo D'Orleans has
issued a manifesto denouncing the Drey-
fusites. The manifesto begins thus: AT
last the promoters of the odious plot against
the honor and security of the fatherland
have thrown off their mask inundated
by them the ministers have lowered them
selves so far as to become their accom-
plices' The Due D'Orleans accuses the
Ministry of seeking revision of the Drey-
fus proceedings while convinced that Drey-
fus was guilty, under pretext of calming
the public, for their own profit. He declares
that the prospect makes his heart culver,
and he concludes his manifesto in these
words 'Frenchmen, we are masters in our
own country. Your servants, subject to oc-
cult and pernicious power, presume to i'm
pose upon you the will to which they sub
nit under pretext of proving the innocence
of a man whom the military tribunals have
condemned as traitor. 1t is the army

are striving to ruin. Frenchmen, we will

JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.
Lake Fisheries Question to BE Con-
sidered at the Meeting This Week.

QUEBEC, Sept 19.-The joint high commits
sion appointed by the United States and
Great Britain to consider and adjust certain
international questions for many years in
controversy between the United States and
Canada will reassembe here tomorrow.
The commission first met here on Aug. %,
and after ten days work took recess until
Sept 90 Commissioner Kasson is the only
member of the American delegation who re-
manned in Quebec during the recess, and his
time has been employed in making up reci-
procity schedules and mapping out a gen.
eral plan for the settlement of trade rela-
tons between the two countries This will
be the most important question and the
most difficult for the joint commission to
settle.
The lake fisheries will probably be the first
question taken up by the American COM
missioners after they reassemble. Charles
II. Babcock, of Rochester, N. Y, is repre-
senIing the fishing industries of New York
State, is now here and other representa-
tives from Ohio and Michigan are expected
tomorrow. They will probably ask for
| more uniform regulations between the two
countries in the fishing interests; but the
exact nature of their demands cannot be
known until they have made them known
to the American commissioners. After the
Canadian border States will probably next
be heard from. 1t is understood they will
ask that in the adjustment of trade rela-
lions no reduction be made in duties now
imposed upon Canadian barley, hay, pota-
toes and other products grown in the
border States. When the commission adj
! Journed Sept. 2 the statement was made
that two more hearings would be given to
delegations coming here from either the
| United States or Canada, but no doubt the
commissioners will find it necessary to mod
| ify this conclusion now that it has become
] almost certain that reciprocity is to be the
| vital question considered. Very many i'm
portant industries in the United States are
! likely to be affected and the representatives
| of the interior are determined that they be
heard before any changes are made in ex-
listing duties

MADRID, Sept 19.-The minister of war,
the return Of the Spanish troops in the West
Indies. The sick are to leave first and the
archives, especially those relating to the war
will be brought to Spain with the arms, am
munition flags and material stored in Cuba
and Porto Rico. The minister is greatly in
censed at General Toral for having sent him
a dispatch on the latter's arrival at Viga
Spain, from Santiago de Cuba, and said
Toral ought to be court-martialed for his
conduct as governor of Santiago.
There is much indignation here at the fact
that there were 1913 deaths during the voyage
among the 1000 Spanish soldiers who have
just arrived in Spain on board the Spanish
transport San Ignacio De Loyala, from San
tiago De Cuba. The Spaniards attribute
this heavy death rate to the ''inhumanity
of the Americans in obliging the sick Span
iards to embark and make room in the hos
pitfalls for the Americans"

Liggett & Meyers and Drummond tobacco
companies of this city. The American To-

behind the one which fell through several

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator C. J..
Faulkner of West Virginia, was to-day ap-
pointed to the position on the Canadian
commission made vacant by the retirement
of Senator Gray when he was transferred
to the Paris peace commission. The tender
of the position was made by the President
to-day in a personal interview with Senator
Faulkner. and was accepted by the latter.
There is a general desire among the
Washington authorities to conclude the
work of the commission before the con-
vening of Congress in December, and 1t is
understood that the President shares in
this anxiety. He told Senator Faulkner to-
day that he was DESTROYS of facilitating the
commissions labors to as great an extent
as possible. and dwelt upon the Importance
to both countries of arriving at early
understanding for the settlement of the Gift
ferences which have arisen between them.
There are fifteen points of disagreement
which the commission will try to settle,
and Senator Faulkner says his information
is to the effect that there is a fair prospect
of reaching a settlement.
