STATUS OF THE FIRST
NATIONAL BANK or HAWAII

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE organiz-
ers of the First National Bank of Ha-
wall, Honolulu, of which the Anglo-Cali-
fornian Bank of San Francisco is large
stockholder, have wired here to ascer-
tain what further steps are necessary to
perfect the organization of the bank. The
inquiry is based on the supposition that
the terms of the annexation of the islands
having to await the action Of Congress
the status of the Government in Hawaii
may be in doubt. The question has been
mooted not through any fear as to an
ultimate favorable decision, but is rather
prompted by natural precautions taken
by men engaging in vast business enter
prises. In the absence of Attorney GEN
eral Griggs 1t will be impossible to secure
a formal opinion until next week when
he will return to Washington However,
the Assistant Attorney General and the
Solicitor for the Department Of Justice
have both passed informally upon tho
question of government now in force IN
Hawaii. 1t is held that territorial powers
Of the United States are not extended
over the islands, and that our Federal
laws are IN full force and effect. The
Solicitor Of the Department Of Justice
further holds that native-born HawaiIans
can be directors In the newly organized
bank.

was sprung here to-day by two detec-
tives of Harry Morse's detective
agency arresting E. Malcolm Garnett.
son Of Louis A. Garnett, the we'll
known mining operator on a charge of
disturbing the peace. The real cause
of the arrest is that Garnett for months
past has been greatly annoying Miss
Ethel Rodgers, cousin of Walter S.
hobart, by writing to her letters of an
exceedingly amorous nature and en-
deavoring to seek a personal meeting.
1t is declared that the young man Is
mentally unsound.
About three months ago GarnettS first
saw the beautiful Miss Rodgers at a.
party given by prominent society peo-
pie in San Francisco. He became at
once a sufferer from Cupid's pranks
and sent the young lady letter attest
ing his undying admiration. No atten-
ton was paid to this, and a few days
later another letter came, urging that
the Iovesick swain be permitted to pre-
sent himself and be introduced
Later Garnett came to San Rafael.and
sought admittance to Captain Will
liams' house, on Sixth avenue and e
street, where Miss Rodgers has been
residing with Mrs. Lester, Mr.. Hobart's
sister, and Miss Juliet Williams, a sis
ter-in-law. He was told nobody was at
home and went away.
Since that time the young lady has
received about fifty letters and Gar
nett has called at the Williams house a
dozen times. only to be denied admit
tance on all occasions.
Finally Walter Hobart went to see the
father, Louis A. Garnett, who resides

WHAT THE sOLDIERS NEED.

A Portland lady has received from ono
of the officers of the Maine regiment at
Chlckamauga a'letter giving some usef vi
hints as to what the troops at the 'front.'
need, and also what it is useless to send
them. The writer says:

and everything has to bo put into roll
with their blanket and rubber poncho and
extra clothing, and that alone makes G

friends our hospital department. is 1e.

as are used every day, for If we receive
orders to move as we hope to, bulky
things will have to be thrown away from
necessity, unless we get chance to stow
them and where SO many troops are
camped, there is great danger of losing
them.

better food and more of it, but it takes
time for the men to leave home and home
cooking behind and settle down to the
army rations without feeling that they
are being starved. They have coffee with
out milk aud bread without butter and
no cake or pies SO you can see that they
feel that they are suffering, simply be-.
cause they have been used to those things
at home. Their food is wholesome and
good and properly inspected and our sur
geons and the army officers generally are
against having pies, Yetc., sent because
they think the men are better without
them.
Many boxes of food are received from
home. however, and as The rates of ex-
press are very high it would be better in
many cases not to have sent them be-
cause cooked food is bound to get broken
and then again If they receive it all right
it has to be eaten quickly and causes sick
ness
Our regiment is one of the most healthy
stationed here, and our doctors are second
to none in their line. and with proper
medicines, ETC., we feel perfectly safe in
their hands. Vaccination has caused a
little increase in our sick list but moth
ing serious as great care is used in every
case.

CHAPTER II.

When Edward Gardner found himself
in his own room upon that same night,
he was moved to great stealthiness and
caution in his behavior, for he not only
tiptoed about in his stockings, but also,
before closing the door and scrutinizine
its fastenings, stepped back into the
corridor and listened in the STOPPING at
titude Of still attention, until the throb
bling of his temples was distinctly audi.
BILE in his ears.
Having secured himself against the
possibility Of sudden interruption, he
took off his coat with a careful and de.
liberate movement, and then drew from,
it's outer breast pocket waterproof
bath bag, whence he extracted drip
ping sponge. This he squeezed over q
glass tumbler, and having smelled and
examined with absorbing interest the
liquid therein contained he poured il
into a pair Of glass stoppered walls,
which he labeled "Bimeconate of NOR
phia, muttering as he wrote, swell
one namo as another"
He then seated himself upon the
nearest chair, and with his chin resting
upon his open palm, his eyes staring
before him in vacant abstraction, he
became plunged in deep, silent thought.
What were his reflections can never be
known to mortal being, but of their re.
suit upon the physical man the knowi.
edge is certain.
A shudcer passed over him, perspira-
ton lroke out upon his face. and as a
long sigh escaped his lips he passed a
we! hand over his brow as if to remove
some mental picture which troubled
and oppressed him. lie had barely done

aud startled him to activity, but his
movements were as uncertain as thog'

fell upon the people, every face grew
pale and every knee trembled at the
awful solemnity of the moment.
"My lord, said the counsel in low
voice, raising his blanched face until he
looked at the judge, chad but for a
moment realized the gravity of the
question it would never have been ut
tered"
"What terrible world this would be
if your secret had been divulged in open
court, DR.. Campbell" said the seedy
young man to his friend and benefac-
tor, when they had left the courts of
justice and were directing their steps
homeward.
''That it would, Gardner. No one
would be safe. The crimes of the Bor-
gias would sink into oblivion and be-
come trivial in comparison with the
deeds which might be perpetrated if the
world once had the drug in it's power -
But the poison would soon find it's
antidote if it ever became known to sci
entists?" hazarded Gardner.
s"What would be the use Of searching
for an antidote at all if the administra-
ton of the poison is followed by no
symptom? Its criminal employment
would not be suspected. People would
leave the world as silently and mysteri-
ously as a breath of wind, and no one
would be any the wiser. No, no. Never
mind the antidote. If the poison should
ever become publicly known, search for
its pathological signs, find out its effect
upon the system, and then the drug
will become too dangerous weapon to
be handled by criminals Presently
the old doctor continued: "You must
help me to destroy it this very evening.
I shall not feel safe until have got rid
of the small quantity which I have in
the house. and placed it out of every
body's reach. Come to the library after
dinner, Edward, and give me your as
sistance."
Very well; shall do SO, respond

own residence in Catharine square.

upon the judge mute appeal for for
bearance. But finding neither hope nor
mercy upon the stolid face before him
he answered in low voice:
"There is"
"Silence!" cried the usher as long
drawn breath quivered through the
thick atmosphere and low whisperings
ran along the benches.
''In view of the fact that the prisoner
has wide knowledge of scientific ques-
lions, is it your opinion that that same
poison or one of similar qualities might
have been administered by the prisoner
