A Hot Time at Kahuku.

A big row occurred yesterday
at Kahuku Plantation between the
Japanese and Chinese iaborers
The Japs, armed with clubs, at
tackled Chinese camp and dubbed
the inmates in most brutal man
ner. Three Chinese were killed in
the melee, several Others were dan
gerously wounded and the balance
we're more or less bruised and dam
aged.
Manager Weight and his assist
ants realized that the row was get
ting too serious, and message was
sent to Marshal Brown explaining
the situation.
The Marshal Immediately sent
word to Mr.. Dillingham; at the
Central Union E1change-beg par
don Church-and secured the use
of special train which brought a
strong force of police to the scene
Of the battle.
If the authorities had thought of
it, the services of Major Camara and
his men camping at Pearl City could
have been secured without delay
aud lives probably have been saved.
Major Camara had about 60 men
with him, and all would have been
willing to go to Kahuku aud act as
"arbitrators," their opinions being
backed by their bayonets.
No news has reached the Police
Station this morning and it is ex-
pected that peace reigns again and
the police will return this afternoon
to guard Dole and we, us & Co., who
are left without protection when
Brown and his men conquer Kahu,

Stocks are Firm.

Kahuku is still advancing even il
some of the Chinese laborers Ego
up" with the stock.
Olaa plantation promises to be
success and the coffee lands are
being purchased at all prices by the
sugar men. Olaa will never be trou-
bled with lack of water.
Very few shares of the new Wahi.
ava plantation will be thrown on
the market. The promoters have
no desire to assist IN any gambling
scheme. Kihei is moving EDWARDS
and the ten mark will be passed in a
few days.
The choice morsel on the stock
market is Waimanalo, however. This
is the next plantation to be gobbled
by foreign brokers, and it is the next
concern to be listed at the Exchange
in San Francisco. An effort is made
to keep Waimanalo down while all
stocks to be had are being purchased
in small quantities. The almighty
finger OF the man with the three
initials and new residence in San
Francisco is felt again. Waimanalo
will pay large dividend this year
and the holders of stock will prob,
ably not be "bluffed" by the tactics
of the ''ring".

rapid turning wheels and an arm
was torn from the body which was
terribly mangled by being passed
between the wheels and the roof.
When the engines were stopped by
the engineers, who noticed the

ESGLAND's COURSE WITHOUT

Tho Chicago Evening Post in dis
cussing tho war in South Africa says:
The civilized world will not miscon-
strue the situation and will not blame
the Transvaal for assuming the often
sire. Had Great Britain intended to
make reasonable proposals in her ultl-
mntun; had she contemplated no de-
mand inconsistent with the maintain
ance OF Transvaal independence in
internal affairs ian independence to
which English honor was pledSedl.
she would have presented her fresh
programs weeks ago. She kuev very
we'll that Transyaal was in a mood
for concessions, and that justice to
the Uitlanders would not be refused.
She did not need and arny OF 10000
men in South Africa TO induce the
Beers to accept a just settlement OF
the franchise problem. She was de-
termined to demand the impossible
and she wished to be ready to aoerce
the Transvsal into signing away its
rights and independence by ar over
whelming military force. From a
military standpoint the Beers have
been too patient, perhaps have wait
ed too long. Morally and legally,
Great Bn;ain's course Is utterly
without justification. Every author
ity On international Law in Europe,
md the leading authorities ID Great
Britain herself. have Condemned her
policy. The CitIander grievances ar
torded a preteXt; the real object from
the beginning has been TO me the
two Dutch Republics. England, as
the London Economist, intimates has
forgotten the lesson OF 1916, She Is
trampling under foot the principles
which have made her empire majestic
and glorious since Under the Cham
beTlaIns, Miilnen, Rhodes and their H.
nsrcial followers she is rver;Ing to
the suicidal policy which caused the
American war OF independence. 1t is
q policy "hIch ar not possibly win.

interview with a Chronicle represen-

tie introduction OF electric power on
the Comstock lode for operating
hoist, pump and mill plants, said:
The contracting parties are men
OF CAPITAL and business experience
and are prosecuting their plans with
good judgment and energy. The
company has secured the best engin-
eerinG capacity, both in hydraulics
and electricity. The company has
obtained the right Of way for their
pole line aud are now determining
the location Of the dynamo plant.
They control considerable portion
OF the Truckec river and can locate
the plant either in California or Ne
vada. hope they will conclude TO
locate it i'll Nevada. as the taxes Will
then contribute to the e of this
State. | see no reason why the plant
should not be completed by next
August, though the contract provides
for a longer time.
The Rand mines in South Africa
are operated to a depth OF 1000 feet
which is true also OF the Lake Super
Tor copper mines, | anu told. | see
no reasnu why the t'omstock should
not be operated to a similar depth. |
see nc reason why the mineral depos.
its should terminate at the Sutro
tunnel level.
-Bonauzas have been found here
and there, like raisins in a pudding
above. ! see no reason why you
should not find some raisins below
the Sutro tunnel level. 1t is true the
lover levels have been partially cx-
plored. but never so thoroughly as
the upper levels, and the history OF
the Comstock is that it is easy TO CO.

Mr.. Newlands added. @that an Iu-
