TROUBLE IN THE LOTTERY
A PRIZE TICKET THAT DID NOT

There is trouble in the office of the Lee
Yuen Chung Lottery at 735 Commercial
street.-the kind of trouble that calls for
gore; not human blood, but that of a
more inoffensive biped-the chicken
1t all comes about through a certain
ticket on a drawing which took place
eleven days ago, and which purported to
net the winner somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. A subject of the Celes-
tial Kingdom claims that he bought the
ticket from a regular agent of the COM
pany, and when the proper characters
appeared in the published account of the
drawing he found that he was enriched
by an unexpected sum. But when he pre-
sented the ticket for the cash the trouble
began, for he was informed that no such
ticket had been sold
As the purchaser was known as rep
utable Chinaman, it looked bad for the
company, and Immediately the revenue of
the association began to dwindle-not
through the interference of the police but
because the other Cinnamon looked with
suspicion upon the drawings. Things were
growing dark for the financial end of the
company, and it became necessary to do
something to restore confidence.
AT the same time, there were whispers
of corruption within the inner circles of
the company, and it was hinted that some
member was doing a little grating" on
out making proper returns This was a
serious condition, and there was but one
method known TO the Oriental mind by
which it could be conclusively proven. 1t
was decided to make each member of the
company take the dire oath, and last
Sunday the five principals in the company
went to the Chinese Cemetery and, with
many genufiections before the altar. each
individual swore by all that is sacred to
a Chinese that he had done nothing
wrong. AT the conclusion of his oath

ing that as it happened to the fowl should
it happen to him if he swore falsely; in
other words, if he lied he would get it in
the neck.
This ceremony fully satisfied the mem
bers that nothing was wrong in the COM
pany, but there still remained the sus-
picion against it, and it was decided to
five members of the company, their ten
employees and the complainant. According
to Chinese etiquette the company must

it is necessary to have something definite
done within the next four days, conse-
quently there will be procession Of six
teen men and a priest to, the cemetery
within that time and there will be chicken
dinners in sixteen Mongolian families,
provided all sixteen are honest in their
statements.
If any member of the lottery company
or any employe refuses to take the oath,
then the company must pay the full
amount called for By the ticket. If the
claimant refuses, then the company is
absolved Should all parties take the oath
and shed the blood of the chicken, then 1t
will be understood that there has been a
misunderstanding and the matter will be
compromised and the company will be re-
instated into the good graces of Chinese
lottery lovers and the game will go mer-
rily on, as it has done in the past, the
police to the contrary Notwithstanding.

NEW PLANTATION
This Concern Will be a
Close Corporation.
Not Floated in the Usual Way-Two
thousand Acres Cleared for
Steam owing.

The Island of Oahu is to have anoth-
er sugar plantation and it is to be To-
Gated near the present one at Waia-
lua. 1t is understood that a deal OF
some magnitude, of which the estab-
lishment of this new plantation will
be the outcome, was closed last week.
The deal includes the transfer of the
Wafalua leaseholds held by John EN-
meluth, which have been freely men,
toned Of late, and also the Holt Es-
tate property. AS understood, the ac-
tual ownership of the property has
changed from one or two parties rep
resented originally by Mr.. Emmeluth
to syndicate organized by Dr. A Z.
Nichols. A formal transfer from Mr.
Emmeluth has not been made SO far
as shown by the records, but it is said
be conveyed direct to the corporation
that will actually take it over from
the syndicate.
Over 1000 acres have already been
cleared ready for the steam plows
which are ordered and are to be de-
livered in January Meanwhile more
than one hundred acres have been
plowed and the planting of cane for
seed is being rapidly pushed.
This proposition will not be fioated
in the usual way, but will be handled
as a close corporation.

In the Police Court yesterday morn
ing w. H. Marshall appeared to ans
wer the charge of libel in the first de-
gree, the alleged libel consisting of
the publication in a sheet called The
Volcano of a scurrilOus article on the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The defendants attorneys demanded
jury trial, which the court ruled as
inadmisSible under the law relating to
District Courts. The prosecution then
introduced evidence to prove that the
defendant was the author of the libel
The defense put on no witnesses, and
after considerable argument by the at
torneys on both sides the court SEN
fenced the defendant to six months
imprisonment at hard labor.
An appeal was at once noted to the
Circuit Court, whereupon the court
fixed the defendants bail at 200. A
motion to reduce the amount to $500
was negatived by the court.
H M. Ayres, one of the witnesses of
the case, was imprisoned for three
hours for contempt Of court in APP

cigar in his mouth.
At midnight Marshall had not sue
ceeded in procuring the necessary bail
to secure his release.

'Yes, but still that is not a settle ment of the matter. It should be final Iy settled and as soon as possible. The great wealth of this vast country, in my opinion, is in the interior and the in. gress and egress should be as free as it is possible to make it. There should be the greatest possible freedom be- tween American and Canadian territo ry. This is the desire ofall true Can adians and a condition that will in my opinion exist before many years. In Nova Scotia, Americans have every right that is accorded to Canadians eX- cept that of voting."
 But you are slow in extending this Iiberality to Americans i'll the Klon- dike, areyou not?"
 "The whole matter will right itselfand before long. The friendly feeling be- tween these governments will guarantee that all matters of injustice on both sides will be set aright. We are prac- tically one people and while there will always be a physical line of demarka- ton between us, in word, thought and deed, in right, justice and equity we are men and brothers, and linked to- gether as we are, makes it more import ant that we should join hands and la bor harmoniously together in the de- velopment of this great country. We have already joined Dawson City and Skagway by telegraph line. We hope your people will now join us in extend ing the line to the coast cities"
 Thus ended our interview with a man who impressed us as being a bril- liant statesman and a most pleasant gentleman, and as we bade him good bye, we could not refrain from think ing that if such men as Mir. Fraser were in absolute control there would be a better feeling between Canadians and Americans-that there would be no eX- cIusion acts-that rich gold fields in the Mondike would not be set aside to keep the Americans from working them-that there would be more free dom of intercourse between the two peoples and that Americans would be honestly and decently dealt with when they undertake to engage in mining across the line.
