CHINESE PUZZLE
 FOR HAWANANS Conflict Between Old and New Laws. CAN THE COOLIES RETURN /? QUESTION TO BE SUBMITTED TO
 WASHINGTON. Dole Has Postponed His Visit to This Country-He Intimates
 That He Is Not Wire
 Pulling.
BY HORACE WRIGHT.
Special Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, Dec. 19.-Are we in a state of peaceful rebellion against the United States or not? That is the oues- ton that many minds are pondering. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawaii declines to recognize the power of Treasury Agent Brown to prevent Chinese landing who are in possession of valid permits to re-enter issued by the Hawaiian Government under the statutes of its Legislature passed prior to the passage of the New lands resolution and annexation by consent, while Agent Brown practically contends that the instructions issued to him by the Treasury Department of the United. States, backed up as they are by the opinions of the United States law department, are paramount to the jurisdiction of the Hawaiian courts in the construction of the paragraph in the Newlands resolution referring to Chinese immigration.
 The Chief Justice holds that this act of Congress is not retrospective, and does not invalidate the bona fide per mits issued by the Hawaiian Govern ment prior to annexation, while he ac- knowledges that, from the date of ab- sorption, all Hawaiian laws relating to Chinese immigration have been re- pealed by it.
 MT. Brown and our Attorney General, his counsel, hold to the contrary-that the resolution of annexation not only is the law of this land, but it also abro- gated all privileges under former Ha- waiian restriction of Chinese immigra- ton acts, and that no Chinese can land in the United States Territory of Ha- waii except in strict compliance with the United States laws, hardship or no hardship, notice or no notice.
 It has been even intimated that. al- though the nine Chinese released under habeas corpus have been landed on American soil by the laws of Hawaii. now repealed, thev can be expelled from United States territory by the United States laws and forces, but if is held that the Hawaiian officials can not be called upon to enforce this ruI- ing or to assist in it's enforcenan+ a,

MILLER RETURNS ID STAND TRIAL Surrenders to Police of
 Stockton. DISAPPEARED MONTHS AGO ACCUSED OF HAVING SWIM DIED BUSINESS MEN. Comes Back From Chicago and Is Arrested on a Warrant Sworn
 Out After His
 Flight.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Dec. 27.-David Miller. a successful dealer in beans and grain on the levee of Stockton, arrived tonight from Chicago and gave himself up to Sheriff Cunningham. He is in jail, but seems to make light of the charge against him of obtaining goods by false pretenses, and appears to think the af- fair will be easily strengthened out. He had been missing since the first day of last June, but says he would have re- turned earlier if he had had money to come back on.
 Miller is believed to have left here with $1O, 900 or $120O0, made in his pecu- liar dealings with people here and else where. He caught a number of men in San Francisco as we'll, and his personal effects left were sold out short time ago on an execution issued on a judg- ment obtained by San Francisco com mission firm. The warrant of arrest was issued on the complaint of the cashier of the Navigation and Improvement Company, who charged Miller with having got away with a lot of beans belonging to the steamboat company. which he bought on a worthless check in the amount of $4200 It is charged that Miller bought the company's beans, and, presenting the check on bank where he had no money, was given warehouse re- ceipt, which he hypothecated at the bank. There were other similar transactions, and when he fled he was missed by dozen or more sharp busi- ness men, who were ashamed to tell of their losses but the story got out.
 Miller says he went to Portland from here, and then to Chicago, where he has been since June last. He cut quite a dash here for time, and seemed to have unlimited credit. It was remarked when he left that he had taken in some of the shrewdest business men in the city. He is credited with having crip- pied l. $. Bostwick when the latter was considered a wealthy man, by inducing him to engage in coal mining and in the retail business in San Francisco. Mill Ter has lived here off and on for many years.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND'S
 NAME NOT MENTIONED
No Determination Reached as to Representatives to the Disarma-
 ment Conference of the CZar

NEW YORK, Dec. H.-The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs as fellows: I was assured by a high off, cial of the administration to-day that there was absolutely no foundation for the report that President Mckinley has decided to appoint Archbishop Ireland as representative of the United States Gov ernment at the proposed disarmament conference called by tGe Czar of Russia.
 The President discussed this matter at recent Cabinet meeting, but no names were mentioned in connection with the possible representatives from this coun- try, and according to information which Secretary Hay was able to furnish the Cabinet 1t seemed to be by no means cer- tain that the proposed conference would actually take place. Notwithstanding ca ble dispatches from St. Petersburg stat ing that the conference would certainly be held in that city in March next the authorities here are rather Skepucal, both as to the probability of the confer ence and as to the outcome in case 1t IS held. They decline, however, to express any definite opinion until the arrival next month of Ambassador Hitchcock, when they expect to have reliable information on the subject.
 At the Cabinet discussion referred to the conclusion was reached to have one or more American representatives partlc- ipate in the conference in case 1t was held

Nearly Three Score Kansas ConviCts Will Be
 Affected.
Public Sentiment Widely Aroused Over the Recent Collins
 Murder.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-A Topeka (Kans.) special to the Herald says: A bill will be introduced in the Legisla- ture tomorrow morning by Represent ative l. N. Ury of Bourbon County, making capital punishment compulsory in all cases of conviction of rnurlcr in the first degree and fixing a penalty of severe penitentiary sentence for any Governor who fails or refuses tC sign the death warrant.
 The bill contains a section manda- torily directing the Governor to sign the death warrants and order the exc cutiOn of fifty-nine convicts now con- fined in the Kansas penitentiary under the death sentence, but who have not been executed, because the law now leaves it optional with the Governor.
 When shown the bill tonight, Cover nor Leedy declared he would sign it in the event of it's passage. The bill would not become a law until published in the official State paper The duty of ordering the execution of fifty-nine convicts would therefore devolve upon w. E. Stanley, the incoming Governor who will be inaugurated January 9.
 The preparation of the bill is the re- suit of aroused public sentiment over the cold-blOoded murder a few months ago of J. s. Collins, a prominent To- peka capitalist, and the subsequent conviction of his son, John Collins, a young divinity student here, of the charge of having committed the nul- der. The public declaration last night of both Governor Leedy and Governor elect Stanley that they would noJ sign young Collins death warrant had the effect of starting a movement among the legislators now assembled in special
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-28

session here to change the present law and make capital punishment Compul- sorry in cases of murder in the first de- gree.
 The bill, which will be introduced in the Legislature tomorrow, has prac- tically no opposition, taken as a whole. Some members have expressed their op- position to the section of the bill call ing for the immediate execution of the death sentence of the conVictS now in the penitentiary. The general impress sion, however, is the bill will pass the Legislature as 1t now stands.
 Among the death sentence eonvicts in the Kansas Penitentiary is Emmet Dalton, the sole survivor of the notori- ous Dalton gang, whose daring train robberies a few years ago startled the civilized world and whose depredations were generally attended with a shock ing loss of life. About three years ago the Dalton gang descended upon the city of Coffeyville and attempted to rob the banks of the city in broad day light. The citizens were terrorized with the exception of John Kohler, a plains man and sharpshooter, who stood across the street with a Winchester rifle and killed four members of the gang and wounded Emmet Dalton. Al though severely wounded Emmet killed several men before he was finally over powered and captured
 Another death sentence convict is Mrs. Nancy Stafflebach, who was con- victed of chopping a miner at Galena to pieces, but who is supposed to havs also killed over a score of persons, throwing their bodies in an abandoned coal mine near her home.
 Among these convicts in the Kansas Penitentiary are also many of the most notorious criminals in the country, the recital of whose crimes would read like chapters from yellow back fiction.

PECK SUITS DISMISSED. Involved Thousands of Acres o1
 Santa Cruz County Land.

SANTA CRUZ, Dec. N.-Judge Dooling to-day dismissed the Peck suits. Plaintiff brought suit against about 800 defendants to recover possession of land valued at several millions, and which is covered by villages, hamlets. farms, schools and churches The plaintiff claimed that her grandmother, Mrs. Martina castro De peaux. who owned much land in the early days, was of unsound mind when she conveyed the lands she sought to recover. Judge Dooling's decision ends the case.
 The plaintiff brought suit as special ad ministratrix of the DepeauX estate. Sub sequently her letters were revoked. Then she sought appointment as administratrix, but it was proved the deceased had not left any estate to be administered. so the petition was denied. It was while she was special administratrix that the suits were brought.

PETRIFIED CORPSE IN
 SAN RAFAEL CEMETERY
Easily Identified as That of Richard Snowden, Who Committed
 Suicide Years Ago.

SAN RAFAEL, Dec. H.-In removing the remains of deceased persons from the old cemetery on F street between Third and Fourth, to-day, a force of workmen employed by Coroner Eden accidentally struck their picks into a coffin and sur missed from the sound that they had struck large piece of rock. On removing the lid they were astonshed to find a body, of which, the head, trunk and one other arm and the legs had crumbed away.
 The remains were those of Richard Snowden who committed suicide at San Quentin in 1865. He was an uncle of Sir Charles Fairfax, after whom Fairfax Station was named, and was 50 years old at the time of his death. Strange as was the manner of the petrifaction the fea- lures were so well preserved that recog- nition of the body was an easy matter.

ADVERTISEMENTS. A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspep-
 sia and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is Indigestion or in it's chronic form. dys- pepsla, and for the very reason that it IS so common many people neglect talk Ing proper treatment for what they consider trifling stomach trouble when as matter of fact, indigestion lays the 1oundatlon for many incurable dis eases. No person with d vigorous. healthy stomach will, fall victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor digestion; thin, nervous peo- pie are really so because their stom- achs are out of gear; weary, languid, faded out women owe their condition to imperfect digestion.
 When nearly every person you meet is afflicted with weak digestion it is not surprising that nearly every secret pat ent medicine on the market claims to be cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other troubles, when in fact. as pr. Werth1er says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is per- fectly safe and reliable, and moreover. this remedy is not a patent medicine but it is a scientific combination of n1re pepsin Gree from animal matter). yege- table essences, fruit salts and bismuth. It is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets No extrav- agant claims are made for them. but for indigestion or any stomach trouble, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting Is necessary, simply eat all the whole some 1ood you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results. because all the stomach needs is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by do- ing the work of digestion.
 Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents per package. Circulars and testi- monials sent free by addressing F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich.

has made himself as familiar with the
case as the Council has.
The Communication of the sentence is
not a reflection on the action of the
jury. The jury were sworn to decide
the case on the evidence, and they did
so. They were, we believe, fully iusti-
fed in finding Kaio guilty of being an
accessory before the fact. The commun-
ity thanks them for their honest and
just discharge of duty.
But the Council is authorized, by the
Constitution to do what the jury can
not do. 1t may regard political, social
or other relations. It may also con-
slider the whole theory of punishment.
The jury, on their oaths cannot do this.
So that in committing the sentence, it
has not in any way unfavorably re-
fected upon the action of the jury.

KAIO CASE.

In committing the death penalty in
the case of Kaio, to life imprisonment,
the Council of State has carefully and
conscfentiously discharged it's duty. Its
conclusion is, naturally enough, not en-
dorsed by some good citizens. AS men
view things from different standpoints,
disagreement must be expected. In a
case like that of Kaio, the conclusion
to commute the death penalty is not
free from embarrassment. Inasmuch
as the Council, with all the evidence
before it, has done so, no one should
seriously question it's action, unless he
