A BIG SEIZURE.
More opium Unearthed In Kerosene
Containers

More opium Unearthed In Kerosene
Containers.
Henry Hiki, well-known Hawai-
ian in the employ of the Hawaiian
Hardware Co., was arrested yester-
day morning by Deputy Marshal
Chillingworth, and charged with
having opium in possession.
Pursuant to information received
the ever vigilant Deputy-Marshal
swore out a search warrant and pro-
ceeded to the premises of Hiki, near
Punahou. 1t did not take long for
the well-informed officer to fnd the
spot where the contraband goods
we're hidden and in small grove of
bananas and sugar-cane two boxes
we're discovered containing kerosene
oil tins filed with half-pound tins of
opium OF very cheap grade.
The cases resem BILE those import
ed by the firm by which Hiki is
employed, the only difference
being that those containing
opium are marked with. an H.,
a fact which very easily would
escape the notice of the manage
ment Of the concern but should not
have been overlooked by the officers
of the Custom House. The opium
was taken to the police station
where Chillingworth was warmly
congratulated on his successful raid
while it is rumored that the Collec-
tor General is looking black as
thunder on his subordinates who
evidently lack the gift of "catch-
ing on"
Mr.. Vetlesen, the manager of the
Hawaiian Hardware Co., was painful
ly surprised over the incident and is
yet inclined to behave in the inno-
cence of Hiki who always has been
trusted and faithful servant. Hiki
claims that he was as mpch surprised
as anyone else when he found that
the tin of oil brought from the store
contained opium and, that he simply
lost his head when finding himself a
victim of some mischievous scheme
Messrs. Kaulia and Creighton are
attorneys for Hiki who is released
on bail of $500, >and who was
granted continuance in the Dis.
trict Court this morning.
The authorities claim that they
know who are behind the Hiki deal
look serious when doubtful opinions
are passed and say that there is nc
joshing in their statements.

INTERESTED IN THE QUAY CASE
The Democratic Chairman Says the
Senate Would Make Grave Error
in Allowing the Pennsylvania
to Retain His Seat
INTERESTED IN THE QUAY CASE

Washington, November Ex-senator J. K.
Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, returned to
Washington today from his trip to Chicago
where he went to attend a conference of
the executive committee
There was some effort on the part of
outsiders said the senator today, Ito
make 1t appear that very significant busi-
ness was being transacted by the commit
tee. As a plain matter of fact, there was
little or nothing of popular interest in the
meeting. 1t was simply to arrange some
mahers of organization
"Vhat will be the policy of Democratic
senators toward legislation this winter?"
wassasked.
democratic, speaking generally" was
the senator's reply.
III don't pretend to speak for anybody
but myself when 1 talk apout any particu-
lar measure. 1 believe in resisting to the
utmbst the proposed gold standard legisla-
ton. the abolition of the greenbacks, and
the extension of privileges to national
banks. The Hawaiian islands are now a
part of our domain by annexation and the
people there should be admitted to all the
ed to residents of the United States.
- Forcing Government Fiiipinos
''J' we are to regard ourselves as Christ
ian gentlemen, standing by The declaration
of independence, l do not see how we are
to force upon the Cubans or F1lipinos any
form of government without the full con-
sent of the governed 1t seems to me out
of the question also to make a state out of
the Philippines We are already pledged
to give the Cubans independent self-gov-
ernment. l have not the least doubt in the
world that If 1t had been known we were
going to acquire the Philippines through
our war with Spain the words and the
Philippines would have been inserted in
the pledge for independence to the Gu
bans"
Would you support any immediate legis-
lation looking towards a change in the gov
ernment of Cuba?"
"If progress is being made in Cuba to-
wards an Independent government for the
Cubans in good faith, I would not hurry
unnecessarily about its establishment. If
there is not good faith in the steps that are
being taken, 1 should be in favor of shaking
things up. 1t makes no difference to me If
90 per cent. of the Cubans are in favor of
annexation and should press 1t by their
vote. i regard it as all important for us to
entirely withdraw from that island and
leave the Cubans free to act for them
selves"
Senator Jones asked with considerable
concern about the developments in the case
of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Apart
from personal considerations, he said,
he should regard 1t as a very grave
error for the senate to allow Mr. Quay to
retain his seat.
1.-THE precedents are SO strong against 1t, !"
said Senator Jones, that a reversal of
them now would give the country at large
the idea that the senate was playing
politics."
