ITALIAN LABORERS
FOR PLANTATIONS
Ten Thousand Will Go
to the Islands.
Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, May 19.-The planters are
planning to introduce large number of
Italian laborers into the cane fields of
Hawaii. A meeting of the trustees of the
Sugar planters Association was held yes
terday. at which the groundwork for
bringing the Italians was laid 1t will be
submitted as soon as possible to general
meeting.
Colonel F. A. Schaefer has succeeded in
bringing about this new and promising
labor market. In the past nine months
several letters have passed between him
and the Governmnt at Rome respecting
the matter. The Consul impressed the fact
that only the best of peasant labor was
desirable here, and the Italian Govern
ment secured from its local representa-
tive all information concerning the con-
tract system, treatment of laborers and
other details. A few months ago Mr.
Schaefer sent to the Italian Government
copies of the labor contract, labor laws
and full descriptions of plantation ac-
commodationS. Attention was also drawn
to conditions they would be when
American laws were extended over the
islands and the contract system abol-
ished.
BY the last mail Consul Schaefer re-
ceived a letter from Rome stating that
the contract and general plan were sat,
isfactory. The Italian Government would
permit the enlistment and shipment of
unlimited numbers of the peasant class
of labor from the northern part of the
kingdom. In dealing with the laborers,
both in shipment and on the plantations
here the Italian Government desired to
follow the same plan practiced in the Ia
Dor transactions between Hawaii and
Portugal
Mr. Schaefer stated this morning that
if the scheme was acceptable to the
planters the laborers would be shipped
from Genoa. some by way of Japan and
some via Sydney. They will come by the
German-Lloyd boats, some of which sail
from Italy to China and Japan, and 9th
ers to Australia. Arrangements could be
made for the immigrant boats to come
on over the same routes to Honolulu.
The number of Italians to be brought
will depend altogether upon the will of
the plantersA 1t is primarily assured that
10 900 will be asked for to be shipped dur
ing the year. 1t is not thought that so
tice, and that about 5000 will be all that
NAV arrive here.

GEORGE WADE IS
HELD FOR MURDER
Sequel to the Tragedy
on the Australia.
Special Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, May 19.-William Gill
lespie the waiter who was shot by
George Wade, a cook, on board the
steamer Australia as she was about to
discharge the pilot on Tuesday even
ing, died at the Queens Hospital at 2 80
p. m. yesterday. This was just twenty
one hours after the tragedy.
When the men were carried ashore
both were placed in the hospital. The
was shortly afterward removed to the
police station, where the entry, For
investigation, was made opposite his
name. Wade said he was sorry he had
hurt Gillespie, as he was Ibis best
friend" He was kept in ignorance of
the desperate condition of his victim
until, after the end, he was charged in
the Police Court with murder This was
yesterday morning.
Wade showed a feeble gait as he was
conducted from the cells below into the
courtroom by Detective KAPPA. AS he
was settling into a seat in Mt of
Judge Peterson he staggered. The big
mulatto's head was bandaged.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock read the
charge of murder in the first decree to
the prisoner The same official then
after the return of the Australia, on
the Sth of June. Wade was asked if
this were not the best course.
Il suppose So" was his reply.
Then for few moments Wade was
silent and motionless. In slow tones he
broke the silence with the query rs
that fellow dead?"

HELD A SLAVE BY
AN INDIAN CHIEF
San Francisco Seaman'S
Adventure.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 27.-Joshua
Moody, an American, arrived a few days
ago at the Mas River Indian village of
Mamarok, after one of the most peculiar
experiences on record of northern adven-
ture. Eight years ago Moody left the
village, and had not been seen until he
arrived there last week, looking wan and
emaciated after trip of nearly 100 miles.
lie was IAN American sailor and went up
the coast from San Francisco over ten
years ago, being then q young man. He
found his way to the Indian village, and
had not been there a year before he fell
in love with one of the dusky daughters
of the north and married her. During the
two years of his life there he became cele-
brated as hunter among the tribe and
frequently headed expeditions into the in
terror
One day he went out alone. That was
eight years ago, and since that time he
was thought to be dead. For few
months intermittent search was made for
him and then he was forgotten. AS a
matter of fact he was carried away a
slave by Indians in Alaska and lived with
them until three months. ago.
Il had been out hunting for several
days" said Moody in telling his story,
"and one night camped at the side of a
stream. | had seen the smoke from In
dian fires two or three days previously
had never come down that far before.
All at once three Indians ran up and
bound me. They used me very roughly,
and at first l thought they would kill me
right there. / was dragged away to the
chiefs camp, a mile from there, and from
that time on was made his servant. Close
watch was kept that ] did not escape un-
til we were well away from the Mas
country. We travelled nearly 1000 miles
toward the Peace River district.
MY life as a slave of the chief did not
contain many phases but what ] was fa-
miliar with In a year or two the people
all treated me with respect and the chief
came to regard me with marked friendli-
ness The knowledge that | naturally had
of medicine was decided help. Soon the
chief offered me the hand of his daugh-
ter in marriage. | protested that | had
one wife already, but that made no diff
ference, and until year ago | was the
principal advisor of the chief Then dis
ease broke out among the tribe and to
an extent they blamed me for not staying
its raVageS.
"At the first of this year 1 resolved to
get away and at the end of March /
started for the coast. The trip took me
a couple of months, and all the way / had
to pick up enough wild food to keep alive.
The cold weather was the principal diff
ficulty and living a great part of the time
alone was trying. l have just heard of
the Klondke and will probably go there.
Though the natives in the Peace River
country got gold nuggets in several of the
streams, i never expected TO get away, SO
bothered very little beyond mere sur
face Investigations.
Moody is now living with his first wife.

TRADE RELATIONS
WITH GERMANY
No Result of Present
Negotiations.
1895. j. by the Associated Press.

BERLIN, May 27-The United States
and German trade relations continued
to be discussed this week. The toy
makers of Sonneburg complain that
exports to the United States are declin-
ing, and the Coburg Chamber of Com
merce has petitioned the Foreign Office,
asserting that the United States tariffs
are greatly damaging their trade The
Chambers of Commerce of Worms and
Offenbach, interested in the leather
trade, have petitioned their representa-
tives in the Bundesrath to effect a more
just settlement of the questions at is
sue The press pronounces the present
position to be untenable and reaction
ary. The Kreuz Zeitung admits there
will be no result from the negotiations,
as it is impossible for Germany to make
concessions.
Whitsuntde, the favorite time for
excursions into the country and noun
tains, has been marred by cold rainy
weather. In the Hartz Mountains
heavy frosts have prevailed, and all the
mountain resorts have few holiday
makers. Emperor William and his fam
lily spent the holiday at the new palace.
Later in the week he visited the art ex-
hibtion and a number of Berlin stu
dios.
His Majesty's quarrel with Prince
Frederick Leopold of Prussia has
broken out afresh. Several years ago
Princess Frederick Leopold, while
skating, was immersed in pond at
Potsdam and was carried to her home,
where Prince Frederick Leopold and
the Emperor met. The latter was in
censed at the incident and a quarrel
ensued, whereupon the Emperor, as
head of the Hohenzollern family, ban
ished the Prince and Princess to Cassel.
The Prince, who has estates near Pots
dam, desired to return to them and has
repeatedly begged the Emperor's per-
mission to do so. His Majesty has
steadily refused. The petition was re-
newed during the Emperor'S recent
visit to Cassel, and refusal led to a
repewal of the quarrel.
lieutenant Commander w. h Beeh-
Ter, United States naval attache at
Rome and Vienna. was presented to
Emperor William at Potsdam on Mon
day He was cordially welcomed by
his Majesty, who highly complimented
the American navy and illustrated the
voyage of the Oregon from the Pacific
to the West Indies and the battle of
Santiago as examples of it's eeffctive-
ness. His Majesty displayed marvellous
information regarding the ships and
details of the events of Santiago and
asked. Where is Fighting Bob?' y

On being told of the fact and time of
Gillespie's death, he remarked:
Il am awfully sorry
He was venturing to say more when
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock checked
him with the usual cautions. Any
thing that he might now utter was
liable to be used against him as evil
dence.
Immediately after the death of Gill
lespie Coroners jury was impaneled.
After having been sworn over Giles
pies body, the jury postponed the in
quest until after the return of the Aus
tralia. There is not a person in Homo
lulu who saw the crime.
Poor Gillespie on the way to the hos
pital only murmured that he had not
deserved so cruel fate, as he had but
tried to restore peace between the two
quarreling men, Wade and Sidney"
the butcher. He also spoke of his
mother, hoping she would believe he
was "all right"
No ante-mortem deposition was OBJ
tained from the dying man. He had rail-
lied wonderfully the morning before his
death, but relapsed into a sinking con-
dition and could not be disturbed-not
even to leave his testimony for the
avenging law.
The funeral took place from the hos
pital to the Catholic cemetery yester-
day. Rev Father Valentin conducted
the services. Employees of w. G. Irwin
& Co. Qimited), agents of the Oceanic
Steamship Company. together with
many friends the dead man had known
here, attended the obsequies. Many
floral emblems were contributed.
These, with the coffin, were photo
graphed at the grave to form sad
memento for the bereaved mother.

MILLER OPPOSED
TO GOOD ROADS
May Be Com missioner
Maude's Secretary
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, May 27.-The- an
nouncement said to have been semi
officially made at Los Angeles,
where Governor Gage now is that
j. l.. Maude, the new Highway
Commissioner would appoint Assembly
man j. H. Miller of Los Angeles his Sec
retary has occasioned considerable com
ment here. AS a member of the last Leg
isature Miller was the strongest antag-
onist of the good roads BILL which en-
bodied the best ideas of the department OF
highways for a term covering months of
research and experience. In this attitude
of opposition it was declared that he was
acting at the request of the Los Angeles
Board of Supervisors, which was violently
opposed to the measure.
Miller was particularly emphatic in his
opposition to the bill providing that one
half of all road moneys raised each year
should be spent in permanent improve
ments of a character approved by the
advanced science of road building. 1t
would seem, therefore, that the very last
man who should be selected to promote
the good roads movement in this State
would be Assemblyman j. II. Miller of
Los Angeles.
Los Angeles occasions small surprise with
all the discussion that has followed it.
During the early part of the session of the
Legislature Miller voted for r. N. Bulla
for United States Senator. but toward the
last he turned about and cast his ballot
for d. M. Burns. Naturally the belief pre-
walls here that if there is any truth in the
published story from Los Angeles Miller
will receive his job through the influence
of Burns, Notwithstanding the improprie-
.ty of the selection in view of Miller's well
known attitude against the cause of good
roads.
Commissioner Maude says. that Miller
is not a candidate for the office and so
developments are awaited by the capital
habitueS. 1t is interesting to know that
the retiring Commissioners of the De-
partment of Highways are opposed to
such an appointment as that reported
from Los Angeles.

CONSUMP TON IS
BEING CONSIDERED
Interest in Tuberculosis
Convention.
Copyrighted. 1899. by the Associated Press.

BERLIN, May 27.-The lull in politi-
cal excitement during the vacation of
the Reichstag and Diet was relieved by
the assembling of the tuberculosis
convention, which has attracted ex-
traordinary attention. The event is
compared with the Peace Conference,
and as indicative of the progress of fell
Iowship among nations. The press
gave the congress a very enthusiastic
welcome, even the Vorwaerts seeing in
It the embodiment Of labor in Nohalf of
the poorest classes. This socio-poiti-
cal feature of the congress is COM
mented upon by other papers. 1t was
especially emphasized by the Minister
of the Interior, Count POsadowski
Wehner, in his opening address, as
harmony in social legislation in Ger
many The opening session of the con-
gress was marked by great ceremony
and brought together large audience,
including most of the disti- ulshed
German and foreign medical men, and
, it was noted with satisfaction that
\ France sent large delegation. 1t in
cludes the most eminent French scien-
lists in this department.
The presence of the Empress of Ger
many as patroness of the congress was
noticed with appropriate acknowledge
ment by most of the speakers. Dr.
Brouardel Of Paris was the first Of the
foreigners to allude gracefully to Her
MajestyS' presence.
The American delegates were treated
with great attention. Surgeon Boyd,
chairman of the United States delega-
flor. who represents the United States
NAVY Department at the Congress, and
Dr Nuttall. formerly of Johns Hop
kins University, were an"ointed hon
orarv presidents of the first section.
Dr George T. Vaughan of the United
States Marine Hospital Service read
naner on the Climatic Treatment of
Tuberculosis, referring particularly
10 the establishment of sanitary
ranch at Fort Stanton, n. M, and the
treatment of sailors. DR.. Won Schwein-
itZ also representing the United
States. read a paper on the Serum
Treatment of tuberculosis.
Private conversation of the delegates
In the corridors shows that much at
tention has been attracted to Or. Won
Schweinitzs experiments.
Emperor William has shown lively
interest in the congress. On Monday
he ordered the Duke of Rather to sub
NIT report on the preparations, and
requested that a number of delegates
be introduced to him at Potsdam sun
kday. His Majesty had also commanded
p performance of the "Meistersinger'
at the Royal Opera house in honor of
the congress.
