GLORIOUS EPAULETS.
An Army Officer Demonstrates the
Desirability of Their

A member OF the New Castle county,
bar said ON Wednesday that he was con
vinced by an army officer recently tha
the man who really should be proud tt
wear the shoulder straps of a uniform
had Just and sufficient reasons for moi
doing so.
II went to the National Capital few
days since on business" said the lawyer.
Gas / had not been there since 1887
naturally observed things closely to see
what change had come over the place.
l was in the lobby of hotel, chatting
and smoking with a young cavalry Of
ficer. He was only second lieutenant,
SO his shoulder straps were plain, with
out even one bar. At the other end of
the room, near the elevator, sat man
with his back to us, but as he moved a
bit occasionally saw that he had shoul-
der straps with star on them.
"'Who is that general?' l asked the
young cavalry officer.
"'Come down that way and take a
look as you pass BY said he, as his face
flushed and he looked madder than a
March hare. We passed by. The man
with the star on his shoulder straps was
the head man of the hotel, whose chief
work is to see that hall boys and elevator
boys do theirs.
"'Do you wohder,' snapped the Of
fcer, that army officers would prefer to
walk about in citizens dress when this
kind of thing goes on here?'"

sacre Comments on the Ami.
versary of the Butchery.
The following letter on the anniver
sary of the Fort Phil Kearney massacre
written by survivor is interesting:
The anniversary of the Phil Kearney
massacre and slaughter OF the whites at
Fort Phil Kearney last Monday recalled
the monument of rough masonry and a
historical tablet erected to mark the
great butchery.
Fort Phil Kearney was the extreme
outpost in that part of the northwest
and was over two hundred miles from
the nearest telegraph line On December
81, 1866, the Indians, under Red Cloud,
made an attack upon the Post wood
train, few miles north of the Post.
A detachment Of troops, under Colonel
Fetterman, including two other officers
and seventy eight men and number of
civilians made dash from the fort for
the purpose Of protecting the wood.train.
They were surrounded by Indians in
overwhelming numbers and every man
of the detachment killed.
The Secretary OF War was authorized
and bill introduced by Senator War
rem, Of Wyoming, for proposed monu-
ment and tablet.
One-fourth of an acre in area is to be
donated by the State of Wyoming to the
United States and $500 by the bill for
erecting and providing the proposed
monument and tablet.
The place where the massacre oc-
Cured is about twenty miles south of
Fort Sheridan and is known as Massacre
Hill. The picture of the massacre is in
the Historical Society of Delaware. The
descendants OF the butchered soldiers will
be glad for the erecting OF this monu-
ment for the graves can never be found.
On part of this ground, truck patches
exist and farmers have. plowed up the
graves in years gone by.

New Memorial Windows,

Workmen from Philadelphia yester-
day afternoon began to place four
memorial windows in the first Presbv-
terian Church. 1t was decided several
weeks ago to secure the windows, which
when completed, will be very beautiful,
and will add to the interior appearance
of the edifice.
The windows being placed in at pres.
ent are the Bernhardt, the Scanlon, the
Sawdon and the Christian Endeavor
memorial windows. They are what are
called double windows, two being placed
in each frame, there being two frames.
1t has not been decided when the new
windows will be dedicated by pastor
William VI. Schall.

A GREAT DEAL OF CONSTRUCTION
AND RECONSTRUCTION.
Nine Roller Mills Superseding Other
Methods-New Mill for Spreckels-
Vile Arrives-Quick Work at Paia.

MAUI, December 1O.-The feature
of this years sugar development on
Maui has been the construction of new
mills and the enlargement and re-
construction of old ones.
Ste, IA was put into the new mill at
Hami uapoko on Thursday afternoon
last, d d everything worked without "A
hitch.
The mill is one of the nine roller
kind and will grind this years crop.
The Paia mill is the banner mill Of
the Islands for speed and constrTc-
ton. 1t took but twelve days to put
it in, working twelve hours day.
Steam will be gotten up this after
noon, and a trial run had.
The SpIeckelsville mill arrived to-
day on the Consuelo, and will be now
rushed to completion by the combin-
ed force that worked on the Paia and
Hamakuapoko mills, so quick work is
looked for Mr.. O'Neil, foreman Of
the ST. Louis Iron Works, is personally
in charge of the work.
Work on the enlarged mill at Lahai-
ma is progressing. In many ways it
is claimed it is the best arranged mill

HABEAS CORPUS HEARING
NINE REJECTED CHINAMEN IN
THE SUPREME COURT.
Pleadings bmitted-Lengthy Argu-
ment by Attorney Silliman-Some
of the Points.

The famous Chinese habeas corpus
case came up before Chief justice
Judd i'll the supreme court ut 10
o'clock this morning. Nine of the
men, named as the petitioners, were
rejected by Chinese Commissioner J.
X. Brown last week, as being disqual-
flied under United States laws to en-
ter the Hawaiian Islands. Last week
a return was made by Collector Nc
Stocker, named as respondent in the
action, to which a reply was filed on
Saturday, by the petitioners. These
papers set out substantially the case
and the defense.
j. A. Magoon, II. d. Silliman, A. G.
NJ. Robertson and A. A. Wilder appear
ed for the petitioners at today's hear
ing, and w. o. Smith and A. L. C. At
kinson for the respondent. There was
big crowd in the court room, includ-
ing the Chinese consul and secretary,
Mr.. McStocker, Mr.. Brown and his as
sistants.
The case was opened by the reading
of the pleading already referred 90.
Mr.. Silliman began his argument aud
held the attention of the court until
noon. Mr.. Robertson is speaking this
afternoon.
Mr.. Silliman's argument, in brief,
was that the laws of the United
States had not yet been extended to
the Hawaiian Islands. That even had
the laws been already so extended, Of
ficials of the Hawaiian government,
acting in their present and only ap"
parent capacity, had no right TO en-
force them. Again, if the laws were
already extended to Hawaii, which is
specifically denied, qualified officials
would have no right to enforce part of
the leaws and leave unenforced anoth-
er part. Besides providing conditions
under which Chinese might enter the
country the laws of the United States
prescribed for the deporting of GER
tain other Chinese. There had been
no attempt at enforcing or suggestion
of enforcing this part of the same law.
Mr. Robertson, who will follow this
afternoon, will endeavor to show thar
the enforcement of United States laws
in the manner proposed would give to
the regulations a retrospective effect,
which was against the spirit Of the
constitution.
There is every prospect that the case
will be on all of tomorrow and per-
haps longer. 1t is not proposed to
discuss the individual cases, but to
consider them together.

REV. KINCAID'S CALL TO CENTRAL
UNION.
viii be Installed as Pastor This Even
ing-Rev. j. \. Cruzan win Preach
the installation Sermon.

\ council of ministers and delegates
called by Central Union church, met
at 10 o'clock this morning. The chur-
ches represented were the Kawaiahao,
kaumakapili, Chinese and Portuguese
Prostestant churches, of Honolulu,
and the Foreign churches of Hilo and
Paia. The following ministers invited
were also present: Revs. Bingham,
Hyde, Gulick, Leadingham. Emerson
and Bishop. The following persons
were elected corresponding members
of the council. Revs. Pearson, Garvin,
Kaaia, Morgan and Perry, and Messrs.
Damon and Seely.
The council organized by the choice
of Rev. j. \. Cruzan of Hilo. modera-
tor. and Rev. j. A. Leadingham as
scribe. The call to the pastorate and
its acceptance by the pastor-elect, and
Rev. Kincaid's ministerial standing
were all found to be regular.
Rev. Kincaid read a lengthy and in
tensely interesting statement of his
theological views. He was found to-
be very liberal and advanced in his
belief, holding that there was no pro-
gress in the inspiration of the script
ures, that all parts were not equally
inspired, that man is divine, that God
is the source of all life and in all
things. that the object of all punish
ment in all worlds should be reforma-
ton, thus opening Il door for the final
restoration of all manllind; that there
is a three-fold manifestation of God,
not three persons in the trinity; that
man is naturally immortal. and that
there is scriptural ground for the
Congregational, Presbyterian and
Episcopal forms of church govern
ment, and that his hope was that the
future church would combine the best
elements of these three forms.
The council in secret session without
a negative vote, decided to sustain the
examination. and proceed with the
services of installation this evening at
7:30 o'clock. The exercises will con-

REVENUE CUTTER FEARLESS no

Precautions Against Smuggling in
Chinese-Special Agent Brown Will
Make Tour of the Islands.

1t is not intended that Chinese shall
be smuggled into the Islands in eva
sion OF the exclusion acts. The eXpe-
rience on the mainland has bred eX-
cessive caution and watchfulness. The
treasury department looks on the un-
frequented ports of the other islands
as very likely places for attempts to
be made to smuggle in Chinese. In
this belief Special Agent Brown was
instructed before he left San Francis
co to make tour of all the Islands,
and carefully instruct customs and
other officials as to the law excluding
the Chinese, the regulations regard
ing their admittance and the duties of
officials.
In addition to this he is to make full
reports of the conditions, physical
and otherwise, existing at each port
in relation to the facilities they af-
ford for smuggling in Chinese.
In addition to this it is understood
that the tug Fearless, which was
bought by the United States at the
beginning of the war, is to be sent
down here as a revenue cutter to look
after attempts to smuggle in Chinese.
The Fearless was the fastest tug in
San Francisco and as revenue cut
ter in these waters could overhaul
anything that tried to land contra
band goods or men.
Mr.. Brown had arranged to leave
on this mission on one of tomorrow's
steamers. But the hearing of the Chi
nese habeas corpus case may delay
| his trip.

CITY OF COLUMBIA CREW AFTER
THEIR PAY.
An Anomalous Condition as to Owner
ship, Damage and Control Exists
Everything but the Ship at Sea.

The City of Columbia arrived here
yesterday from Hilo under her own
steam.
Now hundred or more of interest
ed men are trying to find out what to
do with her.
Captain Milnor says he stands by
his original opinion that she is as good
as a total wreck. Captain Turner. the
underwriters representative, says
temporary repairs can be made here,
which will enable her to go to the
coast. where she can be put in as good
condition as when she left Honolulu.
The crew want their pay. A large
number of them visited Consul Gener-
al Haywood this morning. He advis-
es them that their lien for wages,
when proper proceedings were begun,
was prior to all other claims against
the ship. He therefore advised them
to begin proceedings against the ship,
promising that when the case came on
for hearing he would inform the court
that the proceedings were begun with
his sanction and advice, he waving
for the time being his consular iuris-
diction in the matter. He would also
dSN 'iidl any lutlS liltll IttONtTeu Dt
paid into his hands to be distributed
according to law, which is very eX-
plicit on the subject.
Meanwhile he advised the crew to
sleep on board the vessel and as the
captain says that after tomorrow's
breakfast the ship can provide moth
ing more, he advised the men to make
a contract with some firm in town for
food supply, he agreeing to apply any
money received on a judgment against
the ship to paying thse supply bills
on behalf of the men.
This advice was accepted by the
men and Kinney d Ballou were con-
suited. Libel for wages will probably
be entered tomorrow.
IF the vessel were manifestly a to-
tai wreck" said Mr.. Haywood, $50
that nothing could be recovered from
her, the way would be clear. 1t would
then be my duty to provide for the
men and send them home. But while
the vessel is unseaworthN in her pres
ent condition the men believe that she
can be sold for enough to pay thcii
wages.
Captain Minor says the amount OF
wages now due is about $4,000.

Kaulia, trustee, estate of S. G. Wilder,
and Charles II. Clark, bill to execute
a trust, etc, overruling demurrer of
defendant, Charles H. Clark. In aIim-
ming up, the court observes:
in my opinion the facts appearing
in the BILL which on demurrer must
be taken to be true, do not set forth a
cause of action and state case tf
which equity should take cogniznnce,
and further it appears to me that
there is no misioinder of parties. The
defendant corporation is "A proper par
