SATURDAYS HOUSE SESSION.
Garbage Removal Appropriation.
Fish Inspectors Salary.

Rep. Achi reported as follows for
the Special committee to whom were
referred petitions regarding the rec
ords of courts in other than the First
Circuit, as follows:
Upon inquiry made by Us through
the Chief Justice and the Chief Clerk
of the court we find that the clerks
OF several circuits are working on to
make new records of all the courts;
but we believe the original records of
the other circuits ought to be kept
in Honolulu where the people can get
/ all information they need in short
time, and where the chief clerk con-
! trolls them at all times; the committee
| also believing that this Legislature
will make an appropriation for a fire.
proof vault in the Department of the
Judiciary"
The consideration of the appropria-
ton bin was resumed.
Upon consideration of the item of
pay for fish inspector it was decided
to raise the salary to SIS per month
or $500 for the two years. 1t was
represented that Mr.. KeIfipio's was a
very important and responsible posi-
ton and also that the amount of work
was very great; therefore he should
be given a proper salary. The item
of $500 passed unanimously.
When it came to the item of 50, 720
for pay roll, removing garbage, Rep.
Pogue contended that owners of prop
erty should be make to clean not only
their yards but the sidewalks and
streets outside of their places. The
people of the outside districts should
not be made to pay for the people in
the city. They can be forced to do
what they now have done for nothing
by the Government
Rep. Gear moved for the passage of
the item of 1920 for the removal of
garbage.
Rep. McCandless suggested that pri-
vate individuals be allowed by the
Government to carry on the business
Of removing garbage. 1t would how
ever be wrong to strike out the item
at the present time as there was no
provision for a system to be carried
on by private individuals. The item
finally passed, Reps. Pogue, Richards
and Paris voting in the negative.
After consideration of the remainder
the House adjourned at II M.

A RAID.
Police Make a Sudden Descent on
Pake Gamblers.


Pake Gamblers.
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth and
about nine members of the police force
made a raid on the gambling den sit
uated in the rear part of the old Chi
nese theatre Saturday night. There
were promises of a very big haul, but
as soon as the officers entered the
theatre building on a run some of the
Chinese communicated the fact to the
gamblers in back so that, when the
raiders reached the dens, they found
only one occupied and the men in
this were just leaving. The gambl-
ing apparatus were still on the tables
but the yellow birds had flown from
the cages. In the occup. ID room some
money and other objects of evidence
were taken and about twenty men
arrested and taken to the police sta
ton.
One very valuable fact. of impor-
lance to the Board of Health. was de-
veloped during the raid. AS the
Cinnamon were running out, three ran
for a hole near one of the outhouses
and dropped into a lot of filth and
slime before the officers could get hold
Of them. It seems that a greater part
of the back yard of the theatre is
nothing but a pest breeding hole COW
cred with boards.

SLAUGHTER OF SPANIARDS
by Manila Insurgents. Over 900
Killed.

Manila, May Silvia Hong Kong,
June 6.-The Spanish outposts
have been driven in all along the
line simultaneously and with great
slaughter. 1t is said that over a
thousand have been killed. There
has been fierce hand to hand
fighting for 20 hours, despite the
typhoon which is raging.
The violent winds anu torrents
of rain render the rifles OF the
Spanish troops unavailing. The
natives easily win at every step
with their slaShing knives.
The governor has issued de
spairing proclamation, begging the
insurgents to come to terms, and
meanwhile he is arranging to re
move all the Spanish population
INSIDE the old walled city.
Chief Aguinaldo, in the course
OF an interview, has said that the
insurgents are eager to rush upon
Manila forthwith, but that Admi-
raj Dewey refuses to allow"hordes
of passionate semi savages to
storm a civilized metropolis
Admiral Dewey intends to
await the arrival of the American
troops.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
PLEADS IGNORANCE OF LAW.
BcnjG min DOrwart's P1en to Charge
of Drawing Two PemSiOns.

A jury in Criminal Court No. l. late yes
terday afternoon. returned verdict declar-
ing Benjamin Dorwart, alias Darwart,
guilty of violation of the United States
statute relating to pensions. Dorwart is
veteran of the civil war. The specific Of
fense alleged was that for more than nine
years he drew from the government two
separate and distinct pensions, one for $40
a month and the other for SIT month.
In view of the defendants advanced years
and feeble health, the jury. in its verdict,
included a recommendation of mercy.
Dorwart was granted the pension of $40
a month on application filed in 1879.
He made a second application in 1889, al
leging. it was charged. that he was not
then receiving an allowance. The second
application was also approved, he being
allowed SlI. The pension bureau diScov-
cred the fraud last January, when tie de-
fendant made application for an increase
of his second pension.
The defense of Dorwart was that the
pensions were for different disabilities re-
ceived at different times. and he was in
ignorance that he was violating the law.

ANUSEMENTS.

CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC CON-
CERT-The National Conservatory OF
Music gave its first concert at the UniVer-
salist Church last night, the event drawing
an audience of generous proportions. The
affair was an entirely successful one, both
in point of attendance and musical excel
leIce, and gave promise of future events
that should be delightful to the music
lovers Of the city. The church presented
an attractive appearance, the platform be-
ing tastefully decorated with American
flags, palms and ferns, while smaller flags
waved from vantage points all over the
edifice. In the scheme of decoration the
Cuban flag was not forgotten and added
materially to the general effect. The pro-
gram was exceptionally well selected and
every number was enjoyable. All of the
performers came in for lavish share OF
applause, and it may be said that every
number on the program earned the enthu-
siastic evidences of appreciation that We're
bestowed upon it. Those who contributed
numbers were Mr.. Harry Wheaton How

WORK OF BURGLARS.
Property to Amount of 1900 Stolen

Property to Amount Of 5000 Stolen
From a Store.
Early yesterday morning burglars visited
ID. n. Walford's store, No. AT Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and carried of plunder to
the amount of about 5000. Less than three
months ago Mr.. Walford's store near the
corner Of 9th street on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. was robbed of about $500 worth of
property. When the former theft was COM
mitted Mr.. Walford concluded he would
wire both stores to protect himself from
burglars. but neglected to do so. His sec
ond loss is doubtless due to that omission.
An investigation Of the. premises showed
that the burglars had last night entered
through the skylight over the workshop.
The roof of the shop had been reached by
climbing telegraph pole in the alley.
once on the roof the burglars found no
trouble getting into the store. There was
no one on duty watchman, and the
burglars had all the time they wanted to
get together the plunder. A physicians
satchel In the store was stripped of its con-
tents, and In this 1t is supposed the plum
der was carried away
The list of stolen property furnished the
police included los gold rings, 500 worth
OF Old gold and silver. $50 worth of as
sorted Jewelry, 56 fountain pens, a Smith
q Wesson revolver. 4S gold-filed rings,
cash register and number of rings and

b. AND o. AFFAIRS.
Reported Default In Payment of In
terest on bonds.

The Baltimore al d Ohio has defaulted in
the payments of the interest due this
month on the bonds of the West Virginia
and Pittsburg Railroad Company. one of
the collateral properties of the Baltimore
end Ohio, and for which it was guarantor
as to interest.
In the opinion Of prominent bankers this
Is another illustration of the necessity of
selling the Baltimore and Ohio company
under foreclosure. The statements Of the
West Virginia and Pittsburg company
have heretofore shown that the company
was earning the interest on the S4,OOU,0UU
f!e per cent bonds. Also that the operat-
ing expenses OF the company were some
thing less than 30 per cent of the gross
receipts, which is considered as remarka-
bly, good showing.
1t is stated upon what appears to be
good authority that the plan prepared by
Messrs. Speyer & Company for the reor-
ganlzation of The Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany proposes 20 assess the common stock
at SO per share, for which assessment pre-
terred stock will be given. In reference to
this banker who is largely interested in
Baltimore and Ohio matters said:
or course any plan for the reorganiZa-
ion of the Baltimore and Ohio company
is for the present only tentative. The
most uncertain quantity is how the bonds
controlled by Messrs. J. p. Morgan & Com
pany are to be treated. If they are to be
trary, If it is proposed to scale these, either
in principal or interest, Morgan & Com
pany will have something to say about it,
Messrs. Morgan & Company have asked
the holders of Parkersburg branch bonds
to deposit them either with their New York
or London house, and they state that the
object il their doing so Is for the protec-
ton os the holders.
The report is revived that a bid Is shortly
to be submitted to the board of public
works OF Maryland for the purchase of the
stock held by 1t IN the Washington branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio road. AS here
tofore stated in The Star, the state of
Maryland owns one-third Of the stock Of
this road and the Baltimore and Ohio the
other two-thirCs. 1t is one of the few rail-
roads in the United States which are alb
solutcly free of mortgages. One of the
leading lawyers of Maryland in a conversa-
ton on this subject said that the enormous
value of the property is shown by its past
history. 1t has until the first of last May
paid 10 per cent dividends and in addition
to this it was stated on the authority OF
the experts who examined the Baltimore
and Ohio books recently that when the
company failed it admitted a debt to the
Washington branch of about $l,OOo,OOo,
showing that the earning capacity OF the
property is far in excess even OF the lo
per cent dividends paid.
1t is understood that there is a disposition
on the part of the board of public works
to dispose of all the states holdings In rail-
roads, and that they have authority to sell
any or all Cf the states securities in works
of internal Improvement. But before SELL
ing they must advertise for sealed pro-
posals fer at least sixty days
