An Interesting Sale.

Shortly after the whistle an
nounced to-day that it was IL
O'Clock, Auctioneer Morgan appear
ed on the steps leading to the Police
Station and addressed large assem-
bly, OF seafaring men, ''dope" men,
and other men interested in the sale
of the Labrador, a British schooner
conGscated by order Of Judge Stan
ley, in case OF smuggling.
Morgan, who wore spectacles and
sympathetic smile for the owners
of the schooner, stated that he ap-
peared on behalf of the Marshal,
whose graceful form made a fine
background to the scene.
The sale began, and $500 was bid
den by Hawaiian. Seaborn Luce,
who evidently represented some
body, raised the bid and after con-
siderable sparring gained the schon-
eer at the price of $lO25 which was
promptly paid by Jules Dudoit.
The price is considered very rea-
sonable, and the schooner will prob
ably he fitted out for a journey
to Manila with such goods as are
needed there. Mr.. Whaley, former
ly of Honolulu, is now prominent
agent for the great Schlitz Brewery
in the Philippine ports, might well
come schooner from his old stamp
ing grounds here, The schooner
might also return with freight via
Hongkong. Who will get the mo-
ney, and is the sale legal are the
questions asked.

of i'll treatment by the officers OF the
ship, aud dragged out from dun
geon in the Hawaiian Jail try to ex
plain their story, and make state
ment that they did not desert but
that they simply walked into town
looking for ''justice." Poor fools, to
think that Lady Justice could find a
room in Honolulu-the hotels are
too full to spare suite for her.
OF course the captain stated that he
was a perfect angel, and didn't
know "cuss word" and Of course
the mate swore that he never heard
rough word or saw rough action,
on the part of any officer on board
the vessel. We understand that the
Fort George flies the Hawai-
ian flag, and that the men who have
shipped on her can only find redress
in our local Courts. They have no
Consul to appeal to or to help them
Discipline is necessary on every
vessel, and we have no doubt that it
is strictly in accordance with law
that the men we're ordered to return
to their ship. We agree with the
Marshal when he admitted that men
were not treated we'll on ships, and
that the work was very hard and
sometimes cruel, but we would have
applauded him if he had appointed
a lawyer for the poor fellows, and
thereby given the proceedings at
least a semblance of justice.

A Vigorous Battle.

From the New Era, Greensburg, Ind.
The following is straightforward
statement of facts by a veteran OF
the late war. No comrade will need
further proof than their friends own
words, as here given.
Squire John Castor, OF Viewpoint,
Ind, is the narrator, and an honest,
respected citizen he is too. He said:
81 have been troubled with rheu-
matism in all my joints, ever since
l went to the war. It. was brought
on by my exposure there. 1t came
on me gradually, and kept getting
worse until | was unable to do any
work. l tried several physicians,
but they did me no good. They said
my trouble was rheumatism resulting
in disease of the heart, and that
there was no cure for it. Neverthe-
less had lived and fought the dis
ease for thirty years, and did not in
tend to die, simply because they said

l.. B. Kerr, Queen street, is now
holding sale of BANKRUPT stock Of
the great firm of Nimmo & Co., 16
Regent street, London, and is offer
ing such bargains as will surprise
every person who sees them. The
stock was SO large that it took con-

large it was, and comprises a very
complete stock of drygoods. Every
body is invited to inspect it.

AMERICA AND ENGLAND AoT-
ING IN CONCERT.

The Two Governments Fully Under
stand Each Other in the Matter
of Affairs in China.
New York, Jan. 6.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent tele-
graphs: Minister Conger has
notified the State Department that
the Chinese Government has refused
to accede to the French demand for
an extension of French jurisdiction
at Shanghai.
This action on the part OF the
Chinese Government is the result Of
the protests registered against COM
pliance with Frances demand by
the American and British Govern
ments. The authorities here have
been quite stirred up over the
French demand for the reason that
if it had been granted number of
American citizens in business in the
concessions at Shanghai would have
been transferred to French jurisdic-
tion.
The action OF the British Govern
ment in registering protests in this
matter simultaneously with the
United States is regarded as rather
significant in some quarters and in
dicates an ''entente cordiale," to
quote an official with whom talked,
existing between them, especially in
reference to Chinese affairs.
The report published from Shang-
hal tnis morning that secret treaty
existed beween the two governments
is pronounced untrue, but there is
no question that that the govern
ments fully understand the position
of each other with respect to Chi
nese affairs.

NEEDLES for myself, and finally hap.
pened on DIR. Williams Pink Pills

my neighbors about the medicine,
for it had been used by several
persons in the community, and they
recommended it very highly. l
procured a box. The pills helped
me right away, and l continued TAX

last fall, and finished taking the
sixth box few months ago. I am

These pills are not only good for
rheumatism, but are valuable for any
disease that arises from impover-
ished, or bad blood. They do NOT
act on the bowels.

HAY DIsAPPRoVES PACIFIC
CABLE CONCESSIONS.
This Done IN Order to Leave Con-
gress Free Hand to Dispose
of the Subject.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-The Secre-
tary of State today formally disap-
proved the concession made in July
by the Hawaiian Government to the
Pacific Gable Company for an ex-
elusive right of laying a cable to
Hawaii 1t is understood that this
action was taken in no spirit of hos
tility to the Pacific Gable Company,
but the concession was disapproyed,
first, on account OF the formal pro-
test by the Hawaiian Commission,
and second, because it seemed best
to leave to Congress free hand in
the disposition Of the whole subject.

SATURDAY, JAN. IA, 1899.
TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The China did not bring any news
which indicates that the Hawaiian
business will reach final decision
during the present term of Con-
kress. No gubernatorial appoint
ment has been predicted and Sewall
and Dole can yet continue their use-
less squabbling in their respectively
authorized organs. Admiral Miller
has declined the coveted position
which eventually will be given to
the firm of Alexander, Baldwin g.
Co., which to all appearances are
grabbing everything in sight. They
might as well act as Governor Ltd,
as sugar factors, merchants, steam
ship agents and missionaries"
