THE ARMY CANTEEN.
Liquors May eB Sold, But Not by De
tailed Officers or Enlisted Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 4.-The Sec
rotary OF War recently requested the opin-
ION of the Attorney General as to whether
section II of the act passed at the last
session of Congress Increasing the eff
cheney of the army" prohibits the contin-
uance of the sale OF intoxicating drinks
by the government in the canteen sec
tons of the post exchanges which are
organized and maintained at the various
army posts and encampments through
out the United States.
The Attorney General, in his reply, holds
that the section in question does not
prohibit the continuance of the sale Of
intoxicating drinks through the canteen
sections heretofore organized and carried
on, except that no officer or enlisted man
can be detailed for duty in the canteen
section to do the selling.

Serious Charge

NEsGES, BY JUSTICE DUN
MING YESTERDAY-HEARING
WAS CONTINUED FROM LAST
WEEK-THE DEFENDANT OUT
ON BAIL-OTHER ITEMS OF
CRIMINAL HAPPENINGS IN THE
MINOR COURTS.
The case CT the State VS.. ]. R. His
som, continued from last Thursday, on
the charge of attempting to bride wit
nesses in the we'll known case against
DR.. S. X. Hissom, son Of the defend
ant, on the charge of insanity, came up
before Justice Dunning yesterday.
Or last Thursday the prosecution
brought forward all their witnesses
Yesterday Charles Woods, the inform
ant in the case, Mrs. Hubbard and
Miss Lucy Hissom, daughter of the de-
PENDANT, and Mrs. Mcknight, sister OF
the defendant, were examined, for the
defense.
Very few people besides those d.
rectly interested in the case were pres
ent at the hearing. The affidavit OF
Amanda Johnson was not introduced
at the hearing.
The attorneys in the case were
Messrs. Dryden and Schuck, for the
prosecution, with S. G. Smith for ad-
visor, and Mr.. John A. Howard, for
the defense.
Charles Woods, the informant, was
the first witness called yesterday. His
testimony was very plain and straight
forward. He said that he swore out
the warrant entirely on his own mo-
ton. The matter had not been suggest
ed to him by any person. The motive
he had in swearing out the warrant
he said, was on the basis Of the testi-
mony he had heard at the trial OF DR..
S. X. Hissom, and as he was a friend
Of the doctors he thought that it was
his duty to do so.
Mrs. Hubbard was the second wit
ness. She testified that she was pres
emit most of the time when her father
and Edith Maser were conversing con-
corning the case against the doctor.
and at no time did she hear her father
make any offers to her edith Maser),
Of giving her money or anything CT
value to testify a certain way at the
doctors hearing.
Miss Lucy Hissom's testimony
amounted to about the same as Mrs.
Hubbards.
Mrs Mcknight, the last witness, was
then called. She testified to the effect
that she was at the Eigsom home on
the Island when the family were pre-
pairing to go to town to DR.. Hissons
hearing, and at no time did she hear
her brother attempt to bride Miss
Maser.

state and it's people.
The recent uprising in Nicar-
auga against President Zelaya.
which was led by Reyes. has
had the affect of turning :
large body of the better ele
ment of society'to an. advocacy.
of the idea of annextion to the
United States. So pronounced
has the sentiment become that
the people are being organized
into a new party which has
union with this country as it's
main tenet. This desire has
been rather encouraged by the
resolution which passed our
own congress at its recent
session, autht rizing the presi.
dent to treat with Nicaragua
for the purchase IF land requir-
ed for canal purposes. The idea
has met with favor from the
people of Nicaragua and it has
done much to suggest and
encourage the annexation
sentiment witch is openly ad-
vocatcd in that country.
1t is not at all likely that the
United States would be willing
to annex Nicaragua or any
othe Central American state:
If a suitable treaty can be ar
ranged, provided this nation
concludes to construct the
isthmian canal, so that the
interests Of the United States
would be amply secured. that
is all that would he required.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.

The prospect of special sena-
torial ell, ction has been received
with marked apathy, SO far as the
formation of new American par
ties are concerned. This seems
to have been due to feeling that
the special election is unpecess-
airy, and the fact that only small
number of people who can vote
under the present administration
take enough interest in this
side issue election to go
to the trouble of organizing
new parties. This being the
case, the only thing that remains
is 10 fall back on the Am erics n
Union party, as that is the only
political organization existing.
What the future has in store for
this new senator no one seems to
know; he may have honor without
work. At all events the candidate
for the senatorial vacancy should
be the representative of party, he
should be held responsible by H
party organization;and the organ
ization in turn held to answer to
the people for his action and stead
fast adherence to party principle.
Sufficient time having elapsed
for new party organization and
that without result it is fitting
that the American Union party
should call it's nominating conven-
ton for the election of a candi-
date. The man or men whose
names will be presented to the
convention is not now apparent.

GOVERNMENT AUCTION SALES.

The circumstances connected
with two auction sales of govern
ment land that have taken place
during the past month have caused
considerable comment and GER
tainly do leave the public very
much in the dark as to what
methods can be depended upon.
A clerk of the Land Office cold
land at Kaunskakai, which had been
applied for by the American Sugar
Go. Agent Brown was absent
from the city. The clerk started sell
ing on the stroke of IL and A. W.
Carter, who was engaged in court,
arrived at lie front entrance after
the land had been sold to a
stranger. Mr.. Thurston, attorney
for the company, Immediately
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1899-02-08

noted a protest of the sale, on the
ground that it was held before IL
o'clock and, if this were not 80,
that the applicant did not have
reasonable time to come in aud bid.
More recently there was sold a
lease of an Esplanade lot applied
for by the Hawaiian Electric Co.
The agent of company, was not in
sight when the II o'clock whistle
sounded and he was telephoned to.
An order came concerning the bid
and that bid went above E. B.
Thomas, who had demanded that
the sale proceed prom pity to the
second. Thomas lost it aud has
protested. The practise in selling
government lands and leases is
that when an applicant makes an
offer, his offer is made the upset
price, and the property is adver-
tised for sale by auction.
If the first sale was justice the
second sale was injustice, and
vice versa. As Mr.. Thurston
states that his protest was not re-
c,gnized, it would appear that
the irregularity occurred at the
second sale. As Land Agent
Brown remarked in a recent com
munication, the government is
mot in the land business not
supposed to be anyway-and
the general theory OF land sales is
not to get as much money out of
the purchasers as possible. Due
notice is given the public when
these land sales are to take place,
aud government officials are
treading on dangerous ground
when they take it upon them
selves to act as agents for any
outsiders, whoever they may be.
Certainly there should be some
ruling so that the people may
know what to depend on.
