killed. Many were only wounded and
many were captured. All these are
designated in the official report as
lost" But in Clusters battle there
were no wounded and no captured. On
that fateful day in June, 1876, Clusters
entire force, 261 strong, was annihilated.
Not one was left to tell the story. The
percentage of loss on the side of the
United States army was 100. That was
a bloodier battle than the one in which
General Methuen was engaged.

Berlin, Dec 7.-ssince the return of

manifested here in the plans for found

plans for presentation to the govern

enormous role in the worlds trade. We
Germans must bestir ourselves in order

Were Illegally Arrested,

Washington, Dec. limited States
Consul Dudley at Vancouver, B. c.,
has informed the state department that
after an inquiry into the circumstances
attending the alleged kidnapping of the
American, Everett, across the Cana
dian line from the town of Republic,
Wash, ne has concluded that the man
was wrongfully arrested. He has
mailed a detailed report to the state
department as a basis for action in this
case, probably a demand for the re-
turn of the man to the United States.
Everett was charged with stage rob-
berry and the consul shows that the
officials of Ferry county. Washington,
were chiefly to blame and not the Can
adam officers for the KIDNAPPING.

New York, Dec. THE Brooklyn
Eagle says that a lawyer intimately
connected with an investigation into
the affairs of the Franklin syndicate
has given the Eagle information that
w. p. Miller, the manager of the Frank
lin syndicate, is under surveillance near
Montreal on a CANADIAN warrant,
charging him with having in his possess
sion stolen goods brought into Canada
by him from the United States.
The charge under which he may be
arrested is made to hold him until the
proper steps can be taken to complete
extradition proceedings which have
been begun. 1t will take four days to
finish the extradition papers, it is said,
and get them to Canada so that he
may be brought into this country for
trial 1t was also said that Greenshields,
the Canadian criminal lawyer, has been
retained by Miller to fight any extradi-
ton proceedings that may be brought.

Current Comment.
Eryan's leadership.

From the Salt Lake Herald.
Bryan is stronger with his party to-day
than he was in 1896, and no democrat has
been able to offer single reason why he
should not be renomiuated. His cause has
endeared itself to the people. He is their
leader. the champion of their rights and
liberties, the foe of their oppressors. To
change such leadership would be worse
than folly. 1t would be surrender to the
Influences that have been encroaching
year by year upon the rights and liberties
of free people.

Kama Not a Gutter,

From the Boston Herald.
The announcements OF the forthcoming
retirement of Chairman Hanna of the
republican national committees continue
to come in. but 1t will probably be safes,
to await The confirmation of these re-
ports by Hanna himself before they are
accepted as true. Hanna isn't much of a
gutter when the fortunes of his friend
William Mckinley are involved.

I ENRY CLEWS, the Wall street

forever the gold standard beyond any
eauivocation. Certainly he does. So
do nearly all the leading f1nanciers OF

and so does William Mckinley. But
how do they expect to get such meas

pose that one congress can enact a law
which another congress cannot repeal
If it has a president in accord with it!
The enactment of such a law will give

FRONT.
Customs Inspector Neeley Meets With
an Accident at Night-Lamps Would
be Welcomed Back.

A large-sized kick is going the rounds
on the waterfront and in other places
over the lack of lights on the streets.
For several nights there have been no
lights at all and when there is no moon
the entire waterfront, with the eXcep-
ton of the Oceanic and Pacific Mail
wharves, is enveloped in inky darkness.
The same conditions prevail up Fort
street, and it is dangerous to attempt
to walk about
Customs Inspector Neeley met with
an accident on Saturday night owing
to the lack of lights, by which he was
severely bruised. He was making his
rounds late at night on a bicycle and
ran into a pile of old iron Neeley was
thrown from his wheel and his eye
struck the iron, inflicting a painful cut.
1t was so dark that he could not see
a foot ahead, and a customs man does
not always want to go around with a
big headlight to betray his presence.
The lack of water is the reason for
the darkness, about which complaints
also come from the residence districts.
The waterfront men would welcome
the old lamps that are supposed to be
obsolete in modern Honolulu, as a sub
stitute for the improved lights that are
not lit.

THREE BIG NEW NHARVES HIS WIFE IS STILL HERE
DILLINGHAMS PROJECT
PRESENTED.
Has Ring of Business in 1t. Cabinet
Has Matter Under Consideration
This Afternoon.

A special meeting of the Cabinet is
being held this afternon to hear a new
proposition from b. F. Dillingham; re-
specting extensions to the west side of
Honolulu harbor. Attorney Hatch is
with the promoter at the conference.
Mr. Dillingham's project is a gigantic
one. Ia contemplates the building of
three Nnmense wharves over the mud
fiat on the mauka side of the present
railway wharf, and extending almost
up to Iffng street bridge. The wharves
will have a depth of 1900 feet, extending
from the United States official harbor
lines back to Kawa pond opposite Oahu
prison
BY the side of the railway wharf, on
the mauka side will be a slip 100 feet
wide and 1900 feet deep, crossing the
present railroad track. On the mauka
side of 1t will be wahrf 80 feet wide
and 1900 feet long. This wharf, accord
ing to the plan, will be built by the rail-
way company and used by it, The COM
pany will do the dredging for the
wharves.
Next 10 this 80 feet foot wharf will be
a second slip $50 feet wide, and on the
mauka side of it, toward King street
bridge, will be the second wharf, 100
feet wide and 1900 feet deep. This
wharf will be built by the Government
| Mauka of that will be the third slip
also 16J feet slip. Following down the
/ line of Queen street and crossing the
| stream toward Kawa pond, in the same
direction as the others, will be a third
wharf, underneath which the stream
I will run into the harbor.
/ The scheme is a big one and quite
important, as it will give to the harboi
greatly increased facilities. While nj
part of a conclusion has been reached
| the Cabinet is disposed to go into every
| detail of the matter and il is not i'm.
possible that the project may be rec.
commended to the legislature
If the project goes through. Mr. Dill
| lingham will continue to occupy the
railway wharf until the new wharve'
are built.

MURDERED IN HIS HOME
EVIDENCES OF CRIME A
KIPAHULU.
Chinese Peddler Apparently Beaten to
Death and His Body Left to Burn in
His Hut.

The remains of a Chinese were found
burning in his hut at Kipahulu last
Thursday under circumstances that in
dicate that he was beaten to death with
a hoe and a club, and his body burned
to hide evidence of the crime. BY the
time the remains were dragged from the
flames they were so much burned that
it was impossible to ascertain how Sc
we're were the injuries he had received
before the fire started but stains of
blood on the hoe and the club and on
the ground near his little hut, and evil
dences of a fracture of his skull have
led the authorities to the conclusion
that the old man was killed in a quar-
rel or by some robber He was a vege-
table peddler and was reputed to have
saved a good deal of money.
The dead man was an old resident of
Kipahulu, named All Car. His hut was
observed to be on fire last Thursday
afternoon and plantation hands gather
ed to suppress the flames. AS soon
as they were able to enter the
building they saw his remains lying
on the floor, burned beyond recogni-
tion. Blood stains on the ground near
by led to further investigation and by
following them the laborers found hoe
and club with blood on them. Empty
kerosene cans nearby indicated that
| the fire had not been an accident.
DR.. McGettigan, the district physician
was sent for and made an examination
of the remains. There were evidences
| that the dead man had received blows
on the head that had caused fractures
| but, owing to the extent of the burn.
ing, he found it impossible to ascertain
| their nature with certainty. There i!
no evidence duplicating anyone in the
affair. 1t is supposed that the old ped
dler was murdered for his money anC
| that the. fire was started to hide evi
| dences of the crime.

DISPATCHES CHARGE HENRY
WITH BIGAMY.
He is Reported to Have Been Married
a Few Weeks Ago in San Fran
cisco.

Mrs. Lewis NJ. Henry, the wife of the
man who is accused of robbing and de-
serting a wife in Peoria, Illinois, is still
in Honolulu. If Henry has a wife in
Illinois, whom he has robbed of $4,000,
as stated, it appears that he is in line
for bigamy charge, among his other
difficulties. Since the report came from
the States of Henry's troubles there.
many stories of life here have been go
ing the rounds. He was very well
known in shipping circles and had
many friends up town. Some of these
had practical reasons for regretting his
departure, according to report, for
Henry is reputed to have made several
touches before he suddenly disappear
ed
The woman with whom Henry went
to Illinois, is also well known in Homo
lulu. In San Francisco she is known
as Ollie Musgrove and she was a friend
of the gay young clerk when he was
with the Spring Valley Water Company
1t is stated that he induced her to go
East with him by representing that he
had lucrative position there and that
they were married only three weeks be-
fore the desertion. She had $4,000 on de-
posit in San Francisco bank and
transferred it to Peoria.
Henry's friends here think. however
that the story that he had married
Ollie MusgroVe is not true. They are
of the opinion that he is too shrewd
to lay himself open to bgamy charge

HEAVY STORMS RAGING
THE MIOWERA AND THREE
TRANSPORTS ARRIVE.
Rough Weather That May Soon Reach
Here-The Forty-ffth Infantry Going
Forward.

Three steamers arriving late Sat
urday evening and Sunday bring
more reports about the heavy storms
in the Pacific, the Miowera,
Ben Mohr, Senator and Port
Stevens, all having encountered very
heavy seas and high winds. But for
the severe weather she experienced, the
Port Stevens would not have stopped
here, as her instructions were to go to
Manila direct, from Seattle. Her COM
mander, Captain Whitehead, who has
been al sea about thirty years, says
the weather was the worst he has ever
seen. He has been out from Seattle
since the 9th of this month, being four
teen days coming here from that port.
The passengers on the MiOwera also had
very severe shaking up, and water
broke over her decks repeatedly. 1t is
supposed that the storms are keeping
the overdue sailing vessels away.
Shipping men think that the Hawai-
ian Islands will soon get a touch of
the storms that are raging north and
east of here. The island steamers all
report fair weather in the various chan
nels, but the prophets say that they are
likely to meet different conditions very
soon.
The Ben Mohr and Senator have on
board the 45th Infantry, the headquar-
ters and staff being on the latter. Col
onel Joseph II. Dorst is in command.
