CAME TO HAWAII EXPECTING TO
GET SUDDENLY RICH.
Some of the Stories Told Steamship
Agents by Men Claiming to be
Stranded and Without Money.

There is certain class of people
who Invariably rush to any new
place, be it mining camp, a new ter
ritory or diamond field. To these
people the annexation of Hawaii has
opened up new vista, and visions of
fat jobs, unlimited sugar stocks and
gold for the picking up, fill their
minds. They madly rush to the new
place without even an inquiry as TO
the conditions prevailing, the possi-
bilities of obtaining employment or
the rate of wages. Some of the seven
ty-eight steerage passengers who came
on the Doric last week undoubtedly
belonged to the advance guard of the
class of people spoken of. They had
$50 each when they landed in Honolu-
lu, but many of them are broke al
ready.
The sailing of the Lakme yesterday
demonstrated the shiftless nature of
this class of people, and the agents of
the line were pestered with applica-
tions for free passage to San Francis
co. One applicant offered $50 for a
passage, saying it was all he had and
he would give up his last cent to get
out of the country. Another who ac-
knowledged coming down on the Dor
ic, offered $40 for ticket, and when
questioned as to what he had done
with the rest of the $50 he had on
landing, said he had spent it, Anoth-
er applicant was an old man of about
seventy, who claimed to have lost a
roll of greenbacks since his arrival.
He had plenty of money at home but
not a cent here. Questioned as to
where his wealth was, he said it was
buried in a place where none but he
could find it. Other applicants offer
ed to work their passage to the coast
and when refused that boon asked for
employment here. Another man VINO
claimed he had only SO when he ar
rived here said he came down to en-
gage in the peddling business, but
found that he had to pay $500 IL
cense. He could not explain how he
was going to secure a stock of goods
on a capital of $40.
Of course such men as these may
comprise only small portion of those
whose eyes are turned with longing
on Hawaii as a land of milk and hon.
ey, but enough has been shown tc
make plain that some of the new ar"
rivals belong to a class which will be
disappointed. to saw the least.

PURPOSE OF LILTUOKALANTS
HILO TRIP.
She May Also Go to the Home of Pele
Kilauea-No Politics in the Ex-
Queens Journey.

Liliuokalani sailed this morning
with her suite on the Kinau for Hilo.
She came down to the Wilder wharf
shortly before 10 o'clock in a landau,
the Princess Kaiulani seated beside
her and Prince David opposite her. She
was dressed in a black gown trimmed
about the yoke with purple. and car
ried black parasol. Friends had ev-
identity remembered her departure for
the carriage was well laden with leis,
mostly of eleme and male.
There was a large crowd at the
wharf, and as the carriage drove up
near the gang plank, many of the ma
tives crowded about it. The eX-Queen
went Immediately on board the stea-
mer, where a large number of friends
were gathered to greet her. With
these she chatted pleasantly until the
whistle sounded the signal of depart
ure. Then those who were with her
who were not going to sail made their
adieus and came ashore. waving their
handkerchiefs until the Kinau had
got into the channel There was no
vociferous demonstration on the eX-
Queens departure, but many Alohas
were said. The princess did not go
to Hilo with the Queen.
1t is said by those in the Queens
confidence that her trip to Hilo at this
time has no political significance. She
has estates on Hawaii which she has
not visited for a number of years and
if she finds that the roads are in such
condition that she can make the trip
without too much fatigue she will Wis
it them. Otherwise she will make the
trip to the Volcano.
AS to whether she appears before
the Hawaiian commission or not while
they are away from Honolulu. that
will depnd on circumstances. If OPP
portunity presents itself she will;
othrwise not.
She expects to return, so it is said.
by the Kinau next Saturday, but she
may delay her return until later.

WHAT CONSTITUTES WASTE
IMPORTANT LEGAL ISSUE is
PRESENTED TO JUDGE PERRY.
Determination of the Rights of Les
sees of Land to Cut Timber and to
Plant Coffee Involved.

Judge Perry, with a jury, is try
ing the case of Charles Motley VS.. Ku-
kaiau Plantation Company, Ltd, an
action of ejectment and for damages.
Plaintiffs allege that the defendant
has unjustly taken and converted 10
its own use all of that portion of the
Ahupuaa of Kuhaiau, Hamakua, lying
above the lower edge of the forest,
not including any cane lands, cont0n-
ing an area of 5,475 acres, being prem-
ises leased to defendant by plaintiff,
who claims the ownership in fee and
to be entitled to the immediate posses
sion by reason of defendants failure
to perform the covenants of the lease.
Plaintiff also claims $4,000 damages
for timber cut on said land by defcn-
dant and waste thereon committed by
it.
| At 1890 this afternoon argument on
the motion for a non-suit was ended,
and the court reserved it's decision 10
the afternoon sitting, with leave 10
both sides to produce authorities
bearing on the question of what con-
stitutes waste in the meantime.
| The great point involved in this
case is to what extent the lessees of
land may denude it of timber for the
purpose of cultivating coffee. The
plaintiff charges that the clearing of
land leased from him by defendant
for the purpose of planting coffee is
violation of the terms of the lease,
which states that no timber shall be
cut, and is also an injury to the land
by materially decreasing the rainfall
and thereby affecting the whole tract
and causing damage. The defense Is
that the injury or waste, if any, is nc
more from the planting of coffee than
would ensue from the ravages of wild
cattle were the land unimproved.

The reference to Spanish property
