Attempt at Heavy Explosion at
Portuguese Consulate.
There was something in the way OF
an attempt at dynamiting made
upon the home of the Portuguese
Charge d'Affaires, Senior CanaYarro
about three weeks ago. All official and
others who might be supposed TO know
something of the matter refuse abso-
lutely and positively to talk about it.
1t is learned, however, that there was
an explosion at the place and that Do
lice investigation is being made. The
authorities have theories, but what
they think of the affair can only be
surmised. 1t is stated that giant pow
der with long fuse was found intact
and that the sound and tremor were
caused by an explosion Of perhaps
black powder, as there were no serious
results. The officials are working hard
but in all the time that has elapsed,
since the explosion, have been unable
to find facts sufficient to warrant an ar
rest. 1t is highly improbable that there
could be conspiracy of any extent
against the Consul or his establish
ment. He has always given entire sat-
isfaction to the large majority Of his
clients here.

ated that he cannot entertain any call
to leave Oakland. He must be the
kind of man that wears, for it was
only about six months ago, according
to San Francisco paper, that he was
called back to Sprinfeld, o. He de-
clined.
Justice Frear is chairman of the
Central Union committee that sent the
call to Rev. DR.. Palmer. Justice Frear
says that there are other men under
consideration for the place, but that
no further step in filing the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Rev. D.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Rep. KahauIelio continued his
speech, saying that the House should
not seek TO throw out the amendment
on first reading. The members should
do as the Senate does and give the diff
ferent measures due consideration.
Rep. McCandless stated ii as mis- op!n-
ion that the members were wasting
their time. The amendment could not
pass. Other matters should be attend
ed to. The people We're not in favor
of amending the Constitution.
Rep Pogue said that before there is
any change, proof must be furnished
that change is needed. None of the
arguments so far had given the least
proof. There had been no calls from
any district for the change proposed.
The people of tae Third District did
not want il. He knew that for a fact.
Rep. Loebenstein said that occasion
had arisen when changes in the Con
stitution had been found necessary. He
then spoke of imperfections in the
Constitution.
Rep. Atkinson said: 1T is unwise 10
make any changes in the Constitution
just now.
Rep. Kaeo was of the opinion
that there should be at least an
other member on Kauai. It was a
well known fact that whenever he was
on side OF a question, Mr.. Isenberg, his
colleague, was on the other.
The vote of indefinitely postpone
stood on each side. The Speaker
expressed it as his opinion that the
matter was a most important one and
should be carefully considered. He
would therefore vote no.
Rep. Gears amendment carried by
a very narrow majority.
The vote to pass in first reading re-
suited in another tie. The Speaker
voted for passage.
Rep. Atkinson's request that further
consideration of mis- bill on libel and
SANDER be postponed until a week from
Wednesday, was granted.

referred 10 the saying Of Solomon:

The foregoing is the calander and the
report of the proceedings for the first
day of the Supreme Court, March term,
beginning Monday, the 21st inst.
Chief Justice Judd presided and with
him sat Associates Justices Frear and
Whiting. For the opening there were
present a number of Iitigants and quite
a representation of the bar.
There was more interest in the first
case on the list than in any other.
Viercke was a plantation laborer on
Kauai He was convicted before a ma
tive magistrate on Kauai of using
threatening language TO a luna or
foreman. The man was unable to fur
nish bond and was sent, in December
last, to Oahu prison for one year. His
discharge was ordered for the reason
that the committing magistrate made a
serious error in the mittimus. This
was the only point passed upon by the
Court There has been quite a little
talk about this case and there is the
promise by some attorneys and news
paper people that it will be brought be-
fore the Courts ON its merits and made
interesting.

three contingencies to be dealt with, as
follows:
First-The accomplishment Of an
nexation.
second-The total loss Of annexation
prospects.
Third-The deferrins of annexation
prospects with hope of future success.
In case of the first taking place,
there will be no need of such an
amendment as proposed for then to-
tai change viii necessarily result.
In case of the total loss of annexa-
ton prospects with indications of in
definite postponement, radical changes
will necessarily result. A Government
and Constitution with annexation as it's
cornerstone will then be improper and
will be done away with. Consequently
changes far more radical and deeper
well have to be made in the funda-
mental law of the land. The whole
Constitution will have to be remodel
ed. If such is the future of Hawaii,
there will be no need of amendment.
In case annexation prospects are
simply deferred with promise of early
success, there will be no need of amend
ment for then we will have TO struggle
along under the same conditions, as
those that have existed since the be-
ginning of this Government We will
have to get along as best as possible.
The annexation party is well represen-
ted in the House. In citing his figures,
Rep. Gear was evidently thinking of
America and England. However, there
are many anomalies here that would
not be tolerated in either of the coun-
tries mentioned

Senator John J. Ingals' forthcoming
book, entitled Americas war for

will find in it book of remarkable

war is told in picture and story, and
in a way that always characterizes
the brilliant pen of Senator ingalls,.
In narrating the incidents of this
war he finds grand scope for his
superb descriptive and analytical
powers. The theme is worthy of
the anthor, and the author is worthy
of the theme 1t is published by
N. j. Thompson Publishing Co.,

work that will not only be
everywhere read, but it will be q
monument to his genius that will
outlive in history his brilliant SEN
atorial career. The subscription
book trade and the canvassing agent
is fortunate in the fact that an
author of such rare ability has been
enlisted in its interest.

A party which is known to be
gaining in strength is most uncer-
tain quantity and a great puzzle to
calculating politicians, as the result
of the election in Oregon aptly il
lustrates. Just what the per cent of
gain will be in this county and state
by next fall is indeed hard nut
for the average office-seeker to crack.
The solving of this problem becomes
doublY intricate when those who
change their politics keep mum.

see it fitted up as a summer resort

We were disappointed that more
of our people did not attend the

for good schools are good teachers,
and to get good teachers we must
have for trustees men or women
who will endeavor to obtain such.

THE NEW TIME COLONY.

coin county is presented, suggested
or offered, The JOURNAL is the first
to lend all the aid in its power to
promote such project. When we
were apprised of the organization
of company bearing the above
name, and we learned the object
and purpose was to locate 100 fam
lilies on small tracts of land near
Bliss, in this county, and to engage
in the sugar beet industry and the
erection OF sugar factory, we were
greatly elated over the fact that
Lincoln county was so lucky, as by
nature, to offer inducements for
such an enterprise. But now our
Joy has been changed to mourning,
when we learn that the business
manager of this "New Time Colony"
has removed the Office of his COM
panY from Bliss to the county Jail,
from which place a Mr.. Pffer now
dates his communication to the
vast numbers in the east who are
corresponding on the subject of
joining this colony. Our readers,
were we to end this article here,
would wonder why Mr.. Pfifer is in
jail. As it is news item in which
the people Of this county are inter
ested, we give the facts as we have
learned them from persons who
have had an opportunity to learn
them.
It seems that Ogden, Utah, was
the place where this project was set
on foot and B. G.. Mullins, of Lin
coin county; William Mullins. of
Cassia county; DR.. Gordon of Ogden

his man Pffer were the promoters

absorb the Mullin reservoir COM

same; to locate under the Carey

and to the landless; to erect large
