within the jurisdiction of the board of
| selectmen.
Chairman Clare of the board express
ed some of his ideas relative to the
matter in his office this morning. He
said that he thought four men would
be Sufficient for the protection Of the
town. He said he did not favor cheap
men, and a salary of 500 a year could
be paid to the four policemen, then
there would be 5000 left to compensate
the chief. He thinks one man would
be sufficient to have on duty during
the day. The chief would not have to
put much of his time into the office,
as the police duties of the town would
not require it.
Charles Newhawk claims that the
election of constables in Dudley is void
and is trying to prove It so. He was
nominated by the democrats at their
caucus, but through some mistake his
name did not appear on the list to be
voted for, and consequently he was not
in it. He has consulted lawyer and
intends to get reparation.

1t will be a long time before things
get settled down in Samoa The Ger
mans are going to investigate, and it
will take them some time to get the
proper officers to the islands to con-
duct the investigation. The United
States wish to investigate also, but
the Philadelphia won't be there till
towards the end of the month. Mean
time the dominant party are no doubt
making it hot for the followers of
Malietoa Tanus upon the outlying is
lands. There will be quite a collec-
ton of warships in the harbor of Apia
by the end of the month. 1t is to be
hoped that there will not be a repeti-
ton of the hurricane disaster which
occurred when the contending parties
in Samoa were awaiting the results OF
the deliberations over the Berlin trea-
ty. AS there is no cable to Samoa it
takes a long time to get news to and
from the Islands, and their isolated
position makes the inhabitants con-
ceited

There is a strict censorship over all
kilograms and nothing will really come
forward in detail until letters come
from the Islands, and of these we are
likely to get our share before the rest
of the world, for there are many cor
respondents i'm Manila who write to
friends here.
kilograms emanating from Spanish
sources are not to be believed. Will
liam E. Curtis writing for the Chicago
Record says
THE kilograms from Madrid con-
corning affairs in the Philippine is
lands are absolutely false, and are be-
lieved to be concocted for the purpose
Of making trouble for this government.
The secretary of war receives a long
cablegram from General Otis every
day and is familiar with every condi-
ton on the island. General Otis has
several times reported that Spanish
officials remaining in the Philippines
are intriguing to make trouble for our
people and giving encouragement to
the insurgents"
This agrees with the statement made
by Fred A. Healy, the Call correspon-
dent. who in his interview published
in The Star some little while ago, said
very much the same thing about the
priests and idle Spanish officers who
remain in Manila.
A few straws, however, come from
other sources to show that things are
not in satisfactory condition. The
conservative and property owning
| classes are evidently afraid of Aguinal-
dos irresponsible army and the con-
duct of the troops about Iloilo is not
calculated to allay their fears. The
treatment of Spanish prisoners in the
hands of Aguinaldo's followers is a
disgrace to humanity. 1t may be true
that the Spanish friars were eXacting,
and amassed i'll gotten wealth, but
that is no excuse for the savage man.
ner in which they are treated, and as
for the unfortunate Spanish women in
the insurgents hands, their fate is far
worse than death.
1t is to be hoped that in the inter-
eStS of humanity the treaty OF peace
has passed the senate and that the
Philippine insurrectionists will be CIV
en- to understand that the United
States mean to keep order on the Is
lands, and that the holocaust and crime
which is so ardently desired by them is
not coming off at all.
Whether the Philippines are re-
tanned or whether they are ultimately
to be returned to the present inhabi-
tants, the United States must bring or
der out of the present chaotic condi-
| lions, and it will take some time to dc
| that To retire without accomplishing
this would be to send the Philippines
back for a hundred years, unless some
European power should step in AND
undertake the task which the United
States had given up.

The Saddles made by the
old natives of the Hawaiian
Islands were considered the
best and most comfortable
ever made. They have been
eagerly sought after and there
are very few now in existence
1t is claimed that there are
only two old natives now liv-
ing who have the ability to
make perfectly comfortable
saddle tree. One Of these is
on the island Of Hawaii and
the other on Kauai. Unfor-
tunately they are too far ad-
vanced in years to do much
work.
For a long time we have
been making efforts to find a
saddle that would nearly COM
pare with the old Hawaiian
Saddle, and we have struck it

THOSE WHISTLES.

without whistles to announce when
a steamer is sighted off Diamond Head
we shall be worse off than we were
thirty or forty years ago. Before the
telephone was invented and long be-
fore the system was in use in Homo
lulu, we had the lookout station on
Telegraph Hill, which by means of a
semaphore arrangement communicat-
ed with a station on the building now
occupied by Lawyers MagOon, A. w.
Carter L. A. Thurston and others.
Every merchant was supplied with the
code, and whenever a schooner, a stea-
mer, a mail packet, or a man of war,
was sighted, the heart of the town
knew it Immediately. The news spread
from Office to office almost as rapidly
as it is now sent by telephone.
When the telephone system got into
working order the lookout station was
moved to a position on Diamond Head
which gave a view further along the
channel, because it was no longer nee
essary for the station to be in full view
of the city. AS The Star understands
salary of 5000 from the custom house
bureau, and the house and station in
which he lives and does his watching
have been kept up by the government
or public money. Besides this the mer-
chants in town put up a purse amount
ing to from $500 to $500 every Christmas
for Lookout Charlie" The telephone
f1a,. rrixr univ p,
the lookout and an instrument free of
charge. Up to the present the tele-
phone people have notified the Hawa-
iian Electric Works of the sighting of
a steamer, and the whistles have duly
notified the town of the fact, and by a
code let people know when the steamer
is off Diamond Head, and when en-
tering the harbor.
Now, suddenly, at the will of one
man, this system which has replaced
our old semaphore system, is brought
to a standstill, and and unless a person
is directly interested in business way
with the steamer, no notification is to
be given. The general public is to he
kept in ignorance of the fact that the
steamer has been sighted and is only
to know anything about it when the
steamer is actually entering the har-
Dor. AS far as the general public is
concerned we might as we'll go back to
the old telegraph system.
1t is quite possible to appreciate that
there is a great deal of unnecessary
calling to the central. But that is a
matter which is in the hands of the
company If people ask foolish ques-
tiOns they need not be answered. But
in order to save the operators from in
CONVENIENCE it is decidedly wrong that
a signal which is a great public con-
venience should be arbitrarily done
away with.
Upon the same reasoning notice
should not be given of a fire, b cause
when the whistle blows for that people
rush to the telephone and inquire
where it is, and thus dsorganl4e the
business of the exchange. When the
fire is quite out, and the houses are
completely burned to the ground u
faint toot might be allowed to let the
public know where the disaster had
been. 1t is a pity the old bell tower has
been removed. We may have to resort
to that again.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 10. 1899.

The army increase bill has passed
the house. In it's present shape it gives
the president power to reduce the army
same time it gives him power to main
tain it at 100000 men AS the increase
of the army was based upon the idea
of the expansion policy of the United
States, the passage of the army bill
may be regarded as an endorsement of
that policy.

They are almost an exact re-
production of the Hawaiian
Saddle and are very hand
somely stamped. The prices
vary from $25 to $40 each
and they are made to last a
lifetime with proper care.
Every saddle has Box Stir
rups and are complete in every
particular.
Attention is also called to a

THOSE POLICE CLAIMS
They Have Found Their Way
Into Court.
RESTRAINING ORDER
City Treasurer Cannot Cash the War
rants Until Flo Has PERMITS
sion From the Court
to Do So.

The controversy, if such it may be
called, over the matter of the Stebbins,
Lebeouf and Marchion claims against
the city for 800 each for services as
special policemen, has found its way
into the district court. Yesterday City
Attorney T. OLeary commenced an ac
ton in the district court. in the name
of d. D. Twohy, against Oliver Lesser
and John r. Walkup respectively may
or and treasurer of Anaconda, to re-
strain them from issuing and cashing
the warrants in question.
restraining order was signed by
Judge Napton, and the matter is now
pending final determination by the
court.
In the complaint filed in the case, the
plaintiff, Mr.. Twohy, alleges that he is
freeholding taxpayer of Anaconda
that on March %, al a meeting of the
city council held on that date, the
claims of Frank Stebbins, Thomas Lee
beouf and John Marchion were present.
ed to the council and by that body or
dered paid.
AiS Pi@itisiiA bSieNS9 mat it-
strained by an order of the court that
the mayor will issue, and the treasurer
Will cash, the warrants in this case,
which are for the sum of 500 each, and
it Is further alleged that this action will
make, it necessary to raise the said
sum by taxation upon the taxpayers of
Anaconda and that the plaintiff has
no adequate remedy at law in the pre-
misses, and unless said defendants are
enjoined said plaintiff will be irrepara-
bly, injured by the payment of the lille
gal claims.
Upon the presentation to the Judge
of the matter he signed an order tenn
porarily restraining Treasurer Walkup
from cashing the warrants, and pend
ing the final determination of the legal
ity or illegality of the claims the matter
will rest there.
The bills of the three officers named
are for services performed during the
month of July, 1897, while they were
acting as policemen on the now famous
Lesser police force, the history of which
is well known to the public 1t will be
remembered also that the bills of the
three gentlemen for 500 each were pre-
scented at the last meeting of the city
council, held on March %, when the re-
publican majority of four to three voted
to allow the claims The matter will
probably be fought out along the lines
given in the Standard a few days ago
that the bills are outlawed by reason of
their not having been filed within the
time specified by law.
