AT a recent meeting of the Board of
Freeholders a proposition was made by
the Monmouth Traction Company to pay
to the county the sum of $500 for the use
OF bridges of which it had illegal possess
ion. To this offer, Abram E. Conrow,
the watchdog of the treasury, entered
vigorous objections on the ground that
the Freeholders had no right to sell the
bridges of the county. On his motion the
offer was held open and the committee to
whom had been entrusted the investiga-
ton OF the matter was continued. The
chairman of the committee on Tuesday
called attention to the former offer and
asked if it was to be ignored. Did the
watchdog" bark 2 Not much; he did not
even growl, and the offer and the com
mittee were swept out of existence. Why
did Conrow keep quiet? Did he think it
was illegal to sell the bridges but perfect
ly proper to give them away? Was his
motion at the former meeting whereby the
committee was kept in existence a shrewd
dodge for the benefit of the trolley com
pany by which the latter eventually es-
capped paying a cent for the franchise
We are unable to give any solution to
these questions. We can only record the
fact when the final action was taken the
watchdog" voted in favor of giving
away the county property.

TUESDAY, MARCH IA, 1899.

Two BILLS introduced by Senator Stokes
ave been passed by the Legislature, one
I which has been signed by the Cover
or, and the other will be signed this
eek, if it has not already been approved.
ne of the laws is that whereby taxation
)r school purposes will be decreased.
he other is the bill requiring manufac-
Irers to pay their employees cash rather
ian store orders, as many of them now
Q. In getting this bill passed Senator
Jokes scored quite a victory, as the meas
re was opposed by Senators McDermott
id Pitney. The former was probably
prompted by partisan motives. What
actuated Senator Pitney is hard to tell, as
there is no industry in his county that
will have hardship inflicted upon it by the
passage of the law. Possibly he seeks no
toriety. If so, he got it, and will hear
more of it in South Jersey later.

A HAMMER USED
Doctor Hints on a Wea-
pom of the Riot.
Testimony Of Several Witnesses
Ono Jap Neutrality-suspicious.
Not Suffering.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The first witness put on yesterday in
the Kahuku japanese case was a Chi
naman. He testified in regard to the
opening of the assault, and identified
one of the Japs as the one who at
tackled one of the Cinnamon who died
from the wounds received.
Edward Worthington, head luna a;
Kahuku, was the next witness called
He did not see the beginning Of the
trouble. When he heard that the riot
was in progress he Immediately rode
to the scene. He then directed his eff
forts to Stopping the trouble. He was
unable to identify any of the laps.
DR.. Hubert Wood testified in regard
to the wounds received by the Chinese
Death was caused in one instance from
the effects of fracture OF the skull
the wound having been made with
some heavy instrument. probably a
hammer.
J. w. Stone, another of the planta-
ton lunas, gave testimony similar to
that OF Worthington He did not see
the beginning of the riot, but had done
all he could to quell it after be ar
rived.
George Kamaka, one OF the police
officers Of that district, told Of his eff
forts in suppressing the trouble. He
was the first policeman to arrive on
the scene. When he got there the
first assault had already been made.
The prosecution will probably finish
putting on their witnesses this after
noon. The defense will begin Monday.
The jury seems to be getting more
enjoyment out Of the case than any
one else. Only when they find that in
cuttiig out Of the papers everything
connected with the trial some other
readable article has been shorn OF its
meaning, do they begin to bewail their
lot. They have obtained glimpses Of
the show bills while going to and re-
turning from the courtroom and are
now talking OF hiring n box on the
opening night. That is, Of course, "

Andrew Carnegie RetiNs From
Business.
new METHODS REpulsIve TO HIM
10 Against the Great Combinations.
Fears Social Revolution
Political Attitude.

PITTSBURG, May 5.-Andrew Car
negie's retirement from the steel bust.
ness has aroused considerable interest
here in his old home. but to many his
regie viewed with uneasiness the grad
ual incorporation Of the various iron
and steel industries into trusts, and an
ticipated the time when his company,
in self-defense, must follow in the same
line.
Mr. Carnegie believes that trusts will
yet lead to a political revolution, and
he is said not 10 like them. The near
est approach to one he was ever in,
the famous steel rail pool, was only a
temporary agreement as to prices be-
tween business competitors. Several
weeks ago Carnegie referred somewhat
sarcastically to the modern Industrial
combination, with its trappings of
preferred and common stocks and
bonds" and said he preferred the "old-
fashioned" way Of selling iron and
steel.
1t Is we'll known that the famous
ironmaster is an anti-imperialist, and
thinks the coming Presidential cam
paign will be fought with the anti
trust and the anti-expansion people on
the same side. AS chief stakeholder in
the Carnegie Company. and that com.
pany member Of the trust monster
ne would occupy an illogical position
in the antitrust and anti-sxpansior
party. BY selling out his interest he
will be able to devote his time, atten'
ton and money to his endeavor &c
bring about the success of the anti-ex.
pansion propaganda.
To the suggestion that the hatred
entertained toward him by union labor
may cause his advocacy Of any public
question to be OF doubtful utility to the
cause. his friends reply that 1t was not
Carnegie, but II. c. Frick, who con-
Quoted the Homestead strike, that hil
approval OF Tricks course was only a
demonstration OF loyalty to a business
partner, and that he considers himself
really good friend Of labor.
Carnegie could not associate with
any party believing in free silver a,

self and expects to be able to eliminate
that troublesome question from the
next campaign.
Indeed, the theory is advanced that
the decision to retire from the trust
threatened business field may have
been born at the famous conference
which he and w. J, Bryan held in New
York last winter.

Three Sets Singles.
tFrom Saturdays Daily

To Miss Hoffman and C. n. w. Nor
ton goes the tennis mixed double
championship of 1899. This was de-
termined yesterday, when they won
three straight sets from Miss Dill
bingham and Geo. Fuller, the Punahou
representatives who had qualified for
the final. To each of the winners will
be presented a handsome silver cup.
This was the first final that has been
played SO far in the tournament. Con-
sequently when the players appeared
on the courts there was loud applause
from the large crowd which had gath
cred. The flag and pennants fiuttered
a welcome, the umpire called play and
the match was on.
| For time 1t looked as If another
surprise were in store for the spec
tators. The Punahou team was play
ing fast tennis. The swift serves of
Miss Dillingham; and the all around
playing of Geo. Fuller rapidly placed
| three games to their credit. The
Pacific team soon got down TO work
however, and from that time on there
was no doubt as 10 the final result
The playing of Miss Hoffman was q
revelation. 1t is only fair to say that
she outplayed her partner, who alsc
put up a good game.

most interesting matches of the tour.

pion against Miss Hoffman.
After exciting rallies yesterday in
which both teams played Brilliant,
the first set went to Miss Hoffman

OAHU'S MILL.
The New Machinery Started Ur
for the Season.

The Oahu mill started running
Thursday and continued throughout
yesterday. Everything is working very
satisfactorily. The first day about
twenty cars of cane were put through.
Progress was necessarily slow, as those
in charge did not wish to put the new
machinery to an over severe test. Oc-
casional stops were made to correct
some small detail, but on the whole
the machinery worked far better than
was expected, considering that 1t is all
new and that some OF the employees are
as yet not familiar with their duties.
Yesterdays run was steadier and much
more cane was put through. There
were = number of visitors present and
all were very much pleased at the good
