Sending a Division to
Encamp There.

WASHINGTON. Aug.ss s, 1ssS.-The in
specting officers who have been looking
over Sea Girt as a place of encampment
for the soldiers which are being brought
back from Santiago reported today to
the War Department, with a diagram of
the grounds, in favor of the plan. 1t is,
briefly, to pay for an adjoining tract of
eighty acres, or for its use with damages,
and transport there seven or eight regi-
merits. They can be entertained hand
somely. The additional land will be cut
up into separate regimental encampments.
with streets, etc. The old Sea Girt camp
is to be used for dress parade. drill and
other exercises. There is plenty of water
for bathing and all purposes. The site is
only two blocks from the beach, Water
is abundant for both man and beast. The
idea is to reserve the State encampnaent
for exercise grounds and make the camp
entirely Upon new ground. The map or
drawing illustrates the report clearly and
is satisfactory to the authorities here.

A Cursory View.

Jersey City and the other municipalities
within easy access of New York are
threatened with a grave danger. Inc
sweet. wholesome atmosphere which we
breathe on this side of the Hudson River
will soon be contaminated with sulphuric
fumes, and the tympani of our sedate,
Puritanic denizens' ears will be cracked
with the gilt-edged profanity of the
wicked visitor from the Borough OF Man
haitian or Queens.

those spasms of virtue. which attack her
occasionally, her citizens flock to this
county to relieve their outraged feelings
When the last wave of reform deluged the
island and closed the saloons on Sunday.
the f~erryboats could hardly accommodate
the throngs that came to this city and
Hoboken to assuage their thirst. Another
spasm threatens the metropolis in the
shape of Alderman Guggenheimer's ordi-
nance against profane language. and Hud-
son is sure to be the sufferer.
The average New Yorker must have his
swear, just as he must lave his Sunday
drink, even if he has to come to Jersey
to get it.
nance becomes a fact the old days of the
Raines law will be repeated. On every
boat eaving New York there will be men
whose faces are undergoing the most
wonderful contortions imaginable, while
their lips remain tightly compressed. AS
soon as the boat crosses that line in the
centre of the river fixed by the recent
Interstate Commission as the boundary
between New York and New Jersey, those
flow streams of the most picturesque pro-
family extant.
What a terrible future there is ahead
for the orderly, well conducted saloons
throughout the county. There the irate
New Yorker will sit and violate the
Guggenheimer ordinance to his hearts
content, needless of the shock his Ian
guage will give to the sedate, plain spoken

o'clock this forenoon, including

bers OF the Bar, when Chief Justice
Judd read his very voluminous de.
oision on the Habeas Corpus cases
of the nine Chinese impounded by
U. s. Treasury Agent Brown and
possessing permits to return issued
by the Hawaiian Government.
The decision is very able and
clear review OF the anomalous sit
uation in which the Courts and the
country are placed by the inchoate
condition and Legislation OF Hawaii
since annexation. 1t decides, in
effect, that the permits issued prior
to the passage Of the Newland's
Resolution are valid as it could not
have been the intention of Congress
to repudiate acts done through the
Legislature of Hawaii prior to an
nexation. Since the passage Of the
Resolution the anti-Chinese laws Of
the United States apply for the
future.
The petitioners were ordered dis
charged, but before they were, the
Attorney. General gave notice of
appeal to the Supreme Court in
Banco and asked that they be re-
manded to the custody of the Re-
spondent. This was strenuously
opposed by Mr.. Robertson, and by
argument they we're placed in charge

ment, simply calling the Magistrates
attention tothe fact, that the men
had pleaded guilty to violation Of
our gambling laws, aud that was all
there was before the Court.
Judge Wilcox said that he could
not follow tie learned attorney for
the defendants in his plea for miti-
cation, because there wore other
gambling dens in Honolulu. His
Honor said that he would take
pleasure in attending to the men
running gambling places, whenever
they were brought before him. Un-
til then he had no cognizance of the
existence of such places Anyhow
two wrongs did not make one right.

cents we're daily brought into Court.
Hawaiians spending ten cents on a
che ia game were promptly pulled,
and the Judge could see no reason
why men whom he supposed have
money to burn" should be treated
differently from those who foolishly
risk their five cents piece on a che
ia game.
The Judge fined Rivers $3.50 on
the first charge, and $lC0 on the
second. Buchanan must pay $lC0
on the first and $75 on the second
charge.

The Gambling Case

The Court room was crowded this
morning when Messrs. Lawrence II.
Dee, j. Rivers and Buck Buchanan
were called to answer a charge of
violating the laws OF this funny little
republic by conducting, assisting,
ETC., 10 game Of roulette.
The charge was preferred by AS
sistant Attorney General Atkinson
and Mr.. Lawrence Fl. Dee in re-
Spouse stated: 81 am not guilty."
Rivers and Buchanan plead guilty.
Mr.. Atkinson then entered a nolle
prosequi in regard to Mr.. Dee, who
picked up his hat and prepared to
leave when he was called hack and
charged together with the other
men by violating the same law by
playing faro.
Dee again entered plea of not
guilty, while Rivers and Buchanan
pleaded guilty to the second charge.
The case OF Dee was postponed
till to morrow as was the case Of
Gardner, who acted az doorkeeper
Of the establishment.
Mr. A. G.. M. Robertson who APP
peared for the defendants asked the
Court to impose mild sentence on
the men, who had admitted their
guilt. He called the attention OF
the learned Magistrate to the feet
that many gambling dens had been
operated in Honolulu for years, and
that the police had never interiered
He said that no warning had been
given to Rivers, who was simply a
sojourner on his way to Manila, and
who had no intention OF violating
the laws Of the country, The men
who played small game OF fare
were not OF the class who would
suffer serious disasters by losing
their money. 1t was not like the
game of Che Fa and Pakapio, il
which loss to native might
mean loss Of bread and butter. The

the Magistrate to deal leniently a
least with Buchanan, who wa

told the Judge that the game wa
simply conducted in the interest o
