The Cheek Case.

The famous Cheek case has at
length come to close, Sir Nicholas
Hsnnen, British Judge at Shanghai,
who was selected as arbitrator, hav.
ing decided in favor Of the Cheek
estate, which has to receive from
the Siamese Government Ticuls
100000. The late DR.. Marion A.
Cheek, an American citizen, under
agreements, received advances from
the Siamese Government to enable
him to work important teak con-
cessions in Northern Siam. In 1892,
says q contemporary, the Sismese
Government seized DR.. Cheeks
property in satisfaction of their
claims against him, alleging that he
had broken his agreement, in
particular by failing to pay the
stipulated interest on the money
advanced. This DIR. Cheek contend
ed was violation of his treaty
rights, and the dispute then COM
menced that was terminated only
last year with the arrangement come
to between the American asd
Sianese Governments to refer the
matter to the arbitration of Sir
Nicholas Hannen, one Of the highest
authorities on questions OF extra
territoriality.-Japan Weekly.

GAMBLING.

The INDEPENDENT is decidedly
opposed to gambling in all forms,
and will always support the authori-
ties when arrests are made Of gam
blers in sensible and reasonable
manner. To-day twenty young Ha-
waiians, all well-dressed and decent
looking and most OF them enjoying
steady employment in respectable
positions, were arraigued before the
District Magistrate on charge of
having played poker in private
house on Saturday last. The young
fellows plead guilty and were fined

1t is outrageous to our idea to see
a dozen ignorant Chinese pulled up,
because they, after long days
hard toll, find their recreation in a
game OF dominos, and it is unjust to
punish a number OF decent young
Hawaiians for spending their time
in a cheap game of poker, while bet
ting, dces, raffles, and gambling in
every form are publicly carried on
under the nose Of our virtuous
authorities.
Let the people who pirate SO much
about their interest in the future Of
the Hawaiians devise means to give
them pure, healthy and cheap re-
creations and the gambling hells and
drinking dens will soon be things Of
OF the past. Our moralists who

1t is easy enough to say that it is
very wrong for people who can't
afford it to play poker. But it should
not be forgotten that it is not
everybody who has a chance to
play progressive euchre for golden
souvenirs and kisses.

At the samo hour on the same
Saturday there were quite number
OF poker games going on around
this town. Dices were shaken and
betting on coming horse races were
lively. The police never heard
about those iniquities, or, if they did,
they kept clear of the places where
these evil things occurred. AT least
no arrests were made, and gambling
Aourished as usual, while the stern
hand OF the law mulcted the young
fellows who simply followed the ex-
ample Of those who ought to know
better, and who are considered shin

In addressing the court Marshal
Brown said, that the court inter-

OF their wives had complained about
their husbands gambling away their
wages on Saturday instead Of sup
plying .their households with the
necessaries OF life. We have no
doubt that the statement is correct,
but is it not a fact, that in other
places more than a weeks wages
we're gambled away last Saturday,
that "other mems" money was
risked, and that the police fgur-
atively speaking stood silently by,

1t was wrong OF course Of these
young men to spend their leisure
hours in flirting with the painted

The Weekly Newspaper,s yaIue.

A writer in the ReUie10 of ReuieacS
sums up the attributes of the weekly
as follows: Each copy is read not
only by the five people usually cred
tied to the ordinary paper but twice
or thrice that number in MANY in
stances, for many subscribers pass
their papers on and on to the inmates
of less fortunate homes. These pub
locations are prominently the home
papers of newspaperdom. They are
not specifically scanned while men
travel to business and then left for
brakemen to gather up. They go di-
rectly into homes and the reading of
them is duty as well as a pleasure
Hence their peculiar value to adver-
tisers and their value as moulders of
public opinion.

Our Ship Builders.

The journey of the Oregon from San
Francisco toKey West was marvellous.
The trip of II, 499 miles was made in
eighty-one days Four worlds records
were broken and the ship came into
port with all her engines in perfect
working order. The continuous run
of 1850 knots from San Francisco to
Callao is unequaled. Her run of 2 ,484
knots at an average speed of Is knots
an hour is a record never before reach
ed by ships of her class, as also in her
run of 155 knots in ten hours. On the
strength of this magnificent run
around the Horn, Russia has called a
representative of big American ship
building concern to st. Petersburg to
consult as to building warships for the
Cars navy.
This is great compliment to Amer
lean skill and American industry. 1t
may bring millions of dollars worth
of contracts to this country, and it
shows conclusively that the hands
that built the Oregon are sufficiently
skillful to construct navies for any of
the nations of the world.

The Park is filling up rapidly. Each
day adds to the number of our inhab

with the beauty of the Park and com
pliment us on the many new build

We still have a few cottages for
rent. Last week parties offered a
premium of $50 for certain houses,
but were refused. This speaks well
for the Park. We could have rented
several eight room houses lately, but
they are all rented. The boarding
houses are filling up.
Already are the huckster wagons

within half an hour eight differ
ent wagons called at one cottage. So

thing to eat. Three ice wagons are
making deliveries in the Park. This

to hear him, and greatly enjoy his

been invited to preach next Sabbath
morning. We expect at least one ser
