time. Although this may seem impos
sible to our readers, Mr.. Harrington does
not ask any pay until the expiration of
the fifteen days and then only if you are
entirely satisfied that you can write and
read by the system. If you are not sat
isfed all he asks is that you will make
affidavit that you will never use the sys-
tenn in any manner. We have investl-
gated the system and are satisfied that
if anyone wishes to learn shorthand Mr..
Harrington has the right one. If those
wishing further reference in regard to
this system will call on r. @. Ely at his
law Office they can be accommodated.

WAS WIDELY KNOWN AND VERY
HIGHLY RESPECTED.
The Wife of Senator Schmidt-Death
Resulted From an Operation to Re-
lieve Stomach Trouble.

Mrs. Mary Schmidt, wife of Senator
II. w. Schmidt, died at her home on
Beretania street a few minutes to
o'clock today. She had been suffering
for the past two months with stom-
ach trouble. After careful consul
tation of physicians it was deemed
best that an operation should be per-
formed.
Mrs. Schmidt underwent the opera
tion on Sunday morning. All that
day and night she rested easily. Yes
terday afternoon there was a change
and it was necessary to perform a
second operation. Last evening blood
poisoning set in, resulting in death at
noon today.
The deceased leaves a loving hus-
band and seven rhildren. William, Ri
ia, Heinie, Earnest, Minnie, Paul and
Maluhia.
William, the eldest, is interested
with his father in the mercantile bus
mess, on King street George S.
Weight, manager of Kahulu planta-
ton. and Charles s. Weight, were bro
theirs of the deceased.
The funeral arrangements have not
been completed as yet. 1t has been
definitely decided that the services
will be held tomorrow, possibly from
Central Union church.
Mrs. Schmidt was loveable woman.
She was born in the Islands and grew
up among the people she loved so well.
An active member of Central Union
church she was always ready to lend
her assistance. in any charitable pur-
pose. Her sudden death is a great loss
to the community.

THE MAUI RAILROAD FIGHT GOES
MERRILY ON.
Land in Question Originally Leased
by Kamehameha III-Temporary
Injunction will be Taken Up Later.

The Supreme Court, Associate JUS
tice Frear presiding in the absence OF
Chief Justice Judd, and Attorney w.
r. Castle occupying the vacant seat on
the bench, today listened to the argu-
ments of the attorneys in the suit
brought by the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company against the Kahu-
lui Railroad Company.
The claim of the Hawaiian Commc--
cial and Sugar Company is that the
land in question including the wlter
front on Kahului Bay was leased 10
its assignors by Kamehameha III in
1850, for fifty years. Afterwards the
Company acquired the fee to the prop
erty. In the late '7O's the Hawaiian
Company leased to the Kahului Rail-
road the property now claimed by it,
for thirty years, the lease still having
about eight years to run. Some time
ago the Kahului people began pro-
ceedings to condemn under the right
of eminent domain the fee to the prop
erty they occupy under statute OF
the Hawaiian Government. The Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany fought this proceeding in the
Circuit Court claiming among other
things that the statute was unconsSi-
tutional. The Circuit Court however
held that the statute was constitutions
al, the proceedings regular, and gave
Judgment in favor of the Kahnlui
Railroad From this judgment 'he
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany appealed to the Supreme Court
on practically the same grounds on
which they fought the proceedings in
the Circuit Court.
AS soon as the arguments are COM
pleted in the Supreme Court, the at
torneys will continue the arguments
on the motion of the railroad people
to dismiss the temporary restraining
order issued against them in favor of
the plantation. Attorney Charles s.
Wheeler of San Francisco, who is rep
resentng the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company, will again go on
to examination on the extending >of
the railroad tracks by the plantation
management little less than a fort
night ago.

VIERCKE WILL BE HEARD.
Sues Out Habeas Corpus in the Su
preme Court.

Johann Viercke, through Attorney
Humphreys, has sued out writ of ha-
beas corpus in the Supreme Court,
which has been made returnable on
Monday morning.
Nercke is the German laborer en-
ployed on LIhue plantation, who was
arrested for using threatening Ian
guage to Luna Thielan. He was tried
before District Magistrate Kahele, at
Lihue, Kauai, on January 18th, and
sentenced to one year imprisonment
in Oahu. A bond of $500 was also re-
quired of Viercke for the assurance
that he would keep the peace.
The laborer is now in Oahu prison.
Some time ago George C.. Sellner, of
Omaha, became interested in the man
and believing him to be imposed up
on, at once set about to secure his re-
lease. The Independent published
what purported to be Vierck's side of
the case, in which he stated that the
luna had made improper proposals to
his wife.
Editors Norrie and Wright of the
Independent were subsequently ar
rested for the publication of the sto-
ry. The cases come up in the Police
Court recently and the trial was de-
ferred
Viercke now claims that he is un-
justly imprisoned and will request the
highest tribunal in the Republic to
review his case. Humphreys and Gear
are his attorneys.

LEFT A CASE OF VARIOLOID AT
YOKOHAMA.
Local Passengers May Land But
Must Report Daily to Health Offici-
als-Those Who Will Join Here.

The Belgic came into port this
morning with the yellow flag flying.
A case of varioloid which broke out
before reaching Yokohama and was
put off there was the cause. She will
remain in quarantine until she leaves
at o'clock this afternoon. None but
cabin passengers will be allowed to
come ashore. No one will be allowed
to go aboard.
The Board of Health held a special
meeting this morning to take the sit
uation into consideration, and deter
mine what should be done in regard
to her. Since the one person attacked
was put ashore at Yokohama there
have been no other cases developed.
That was ten days ago. Several of the
steerage passengers, however, display
ed symptoms of fever when examined
by the quarantine officer this morn
ing. They may develop into vario-
loid. The cabin passengers have not
been allowed to mix with the others.
The Board of Health therefore de-
cided to keep the vessel in strict quar-
antine. No one will be allowed to go
aboard except the agent of the ves-
sci. The five cabin passengers for
Honolulu will be allowed TO land, but
must report daily for inspection to
the Physician of the Port, until the
quarantine period has expired.
The other cabin passengers will be
allowed to go ashore, but must remain
ashore until the vessel leaves. They
must not go back and forth on the
vessel or mix with the crew or other
passengers. Captain Rinder will be
allowed to go ashore to transact nee
essary business.
The passengers who join the Belgic
here are: Theo. H. Davies, George
Davies, William cassie, Mrs. Charles
Duisenberg, Rev. Walter Frear, John
Bergstrom, Miss Mary l.. Marks, DR..

TUBERCULOSIS IN HILO.

DR.. Elliott writes from Hilo that he
has been examining cattle for tuber-

the past few days. He has found sew
eral well developed cases and there is
no doubt of its rather general occur
renee. DR.. Elliott recommends the
Government to provide for the regular
authorized inspection of animals in
Hilo.

THE AUDIENCE LIKED 1T.

"The song that touched their hearts"
is as old as the hills, almost. The
leading man in "The Dazzler" combi-
nation, which has just closed sue
cessful engagement, made big hit
every night with his bicycle song. He
never failed to bring down the house
when he reached the verse telling
about the good qualities of the Sterl-
ing bicycles. The audiences were all
ready to hear a good word said about
these wheels, and heartily encored the
singer each night. The song was al
most as much of hit as the Sterl-
ing wheels have always been. Pacific

SENATE SAID TO HAVE REJECTED
ANNEXATION.
Rumor That Maine Disaster has Been
Declared Not cidental-Attempt
to Assassinate the King of Greece.

The S. S. Belgic brought Yokohama
papers up to the 4th. inst, but they
contain but little American news that
can be relied on. Dispatches from the
Tokyo papers are quoted, saying that
the United States Senate has reject
ed the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
There was a rumor when the Belgic
sailed that the official inquiry on the
Maine disaster resulted in a verdict
that the blowing up of the battleship
was not accidental.
The following item appears in the
Japan Gazette of March 1st:
Messages to Tokyo announce that
at secret session of the Senate the
Hawaiian annexation bill was rejected
and the bill has been indefinitely post
poned. Thus, for the time being, Ame-
rica ceases to be the immediate protec-
tor of Hawaii and that Republic will
have to continue it's conduct of affairs
as an Independent state. The fact that
the population is an exceedingly mix
ed one has no doubt influenced the
American Senators. They could not
well admit to citizenship the medley
horde of Chinese, japanese and Port
ugese half casts which constitute the
bulk of the population of the Islands.
Moreover America has another ques-
ton on hand of paramount import
ance. If the rumors respecting the
Maine prove to be well founded there
will be much agitation respecting Gu
ba. The proposal to annex Hawaii
was therefore inopportune. Mean
while the japanese will doubtless pour
in immigrants into the Islands, and
when next the question crops upon
it may be even more complex than
when last discussed"
LONDON, February 26.-Almost a
panic prevails on the New York Stock
Market owing to the strong rumors
that inquiry is proving that the explo-
sion on the Maine was not accidental.
LONDON, February 2s.-While the
