She commended him for his ability in hand
ling the llttle ship, but it seems quite
probable that any American ferryboat cap
tain could have done just as well.
At any rate, 1t was accounted a great
honor to have been on parade before the
queen, and this distinction sticks TO VII
lamil today. In 1876 he was commissioned
to visit England and arrange for the pur-
chase of the ships of the Transatlantic
company. He executed this commission
faithfully. After he returned he was en-
tertained at court and from being an ar
dent republican he changed his views
hastily, and ever since has been most
devout monarchist. From the time his
political opinions underwent this change
he has risen steadily in the favor of his
roya! patrons.
He prepared plans for the torpedo boat
destroyer De5tructor. and with a royal
commission went to England to sunern-
tend the building of the celebrated craft.
In returning with the boat from England
he brought also two ordinary torpedo
boats. There was a storm at sea and one

or how he did it has not been discovered,

promptly made a captain in the setvice.
BY order of the government he bought the
fast clipper ship Nautilus and transformed
ii into school ship for the marine guard
In this vessel he made cruise around the
world in one year and half. Upon his
return the papers in Spain raised n mad

And Other Matters Ia Connection with
Judge Hitchcock's Death.


1t was while the late Judge
Austin was on his way to preside
at the October term 1896 that he
died at Wsimes, and the late An
tone Rosa was appointed Judge to
hold that term. Judge Austin
died before the opening of the
term. The steamer Kinau took
his remains to Hilo.
1t is overdue time for the Octo-
Der term 1898 to have opened
when Judge Hitchcock dies, I'M
able to open the term, and the
steamer Hawaii takes his remains
to Hilo.
The Kohala term was being adj
journed from day to day, at last
accounts, by the Deputy Sheriff.
The question in the minds of the
lawyers on hand was, whether
Judge Stanley's appointment uu-
der a commission reading, ito

cult Judge, etc, during his ill

is dead. By this time, however,
everything will be all right with
