CASTLE & COOKE REFUSE TO
LOAD HER.
VIII Wait Until the Question of Reg
istration is Settled-Colonel Macfar-
lane Points Out Aspects.

The Hawaiian flag registry question
has assumed a most serious CONNER
cial aspect. The Willscott finished dis
charging her cargo Thursday, and Col
onel Macfarlane, her owner, immedi-
ately notified the charterers, Castle &
Cooke, in accordance with the charter
party, that she would be ready to re-
ceive sugar for stiffenng the next
morning.
Castle &; Cooke replied that until the
question of registration was settled
they must decline to load sugar on her.
Colonel Macfarlane is in consultation
with his attorney, /. NJ. Thurston, on
the subject this afternoon. Speaking
of il he said:
"The question of ownership has been
raised in the courts. Tine Willscott
came into san Francisco and was sold
AT auction on account of the UNDER
writer's. she was bought for $50 900, a
bargain for the express purpose Of
putting her in the sugar trade either
between here and san Francisco or
between here and the Atlantic. Tenn
porary Hawaiian registry was secu
ed July 2Sth to bring her here to her
home port for permanent register. L
have the bin of sale for her. Her char
ter is nearly $20oOg charter. Now by
the delay in giving her registry, that
is put in jeopardy.
1T is not merely q question OF wheth-
er she could enter the port of New
York without a flag. She would not
now be arrested for pirate as she
would in the old days, but she could
not clear from here with a cargo of su-
gar without a registry even if the
Charterers were willing to take the risk
of entering her in New York. To go
back to the British flag is not what we
want for we bought her to go into the
F! sugar trade where vessels are needed.
| Thus the commercial aspect is seri-
Gus one. And the question of damages
becomes important. VIII the local gov
ernment or the feaeral government be
| liable for it2
Another serious question arises. II
she goes out in the stream without stiff
fleming and a gale should come up who
would answer for the damage if she
capsized?
Mr. Kinney telegraphs from Wash
ington that If the question OF registry
had never been raised here it never
would have been raised in Washing
ton "

WAS HANGING 70 A TREE.
DESPERATE ENDING OF A JAP
AT HOAEAE.
Committed Suicide Last Evening while
Despondent-The Report Spreads
an Alarm of Murder.

A Japanese laborer of Eva planta-
ton, named Sagura, was found Sun
day morning hanging to a kiawe tree
at Hoaeae gulch, stone dead. Deputy
Sheriff Kauhi was notified and cut the
body down.
Sunday morning a coroner's jury,
appointed by the deputy sheriff, con-
Quoted an inquiry. A number of rela-
tives and friends of the dead man were
questioned. The jury returned a ver-
diet that he came to his death at Ho-
aeae, district of Eva, Island of Oahu,
on Saturday, February 4, 1899, by COM
mitting suicide. to-wit, hanging him
self to a tree
From the evidence educed at the
hearing it appears that the man had
been unwell and despondent for some
time. Late in the afternoon he left
Eva ostensibly to go to Oahu planJa-
tion. He reached Hoaeae gulch be-
tween and o'clock in the evening.
The tree was a large one close by
the road. The man climbed it part of
the way up, fastened the rope about
a limb, then around his neck. and
jumped off. No circumstance points to
any other theory.
When the suicide was reported yes
ter6ay morning there was excitement
in Eva district and in town. 1t was
freely stated that the fellow had been
lynched. Such thing had not hap
pened there before, and the police at
once started out to get at the bottom
of the matter. Had the Jap really
been foully hung it is hardly probable
that the guilty parties could have es-
capped.
The body of the dead Jap was bur
led this morning at Eva.

SHE HAS A MOST REMARKABLE
RECORD.
Her Captain to Be Made a Commodore
is Anchored Outside the Harbor-
Will Coal There.

The battleship Oregon was sighted
at noon yesterday and came to anchor
off the harboT at 1870 o'clock. She sail
cd from Callao January 11th, stop
ping at Galapagos Island two days to
coal She reached Hilo Saturday.
where DIR. Stephenson, and Assistant
Engineers Mallory and Eckhardt, went
ashore to visit the Volcano and will
arrive here on the Mauna LOa.
A boat came ashore for the mail as
soon as the Oregon came to anchor.
Nine bags of mail had accumulated at
the pOstOtiice and the consulate for her.
The Oregon was built at the Union
Iron Works San Francisco, and was
launched July Is, 1896. At the break
ing out of the war she was ordered to
Cuban waters and made one of the
most wonderful trips a battleship ever
made. She arrived in time to take
glorious part in the capture of Cerve-
ra's fleet at Santiago She carries 800
men and officers and so marines She
is in command of Captain a. S. Baker,
though he may be relieved here by
Captain Folger who is expected by the
Rio. Captain Barker will be made a
commodore in June.
1t is probable the Oregon will re-
main here a week or so before pro-
ceeding to Manila. Soundings We're
made in the channel by her officers and
men this morning and in the condition
of the wind and sea it was decided best
not to attempt to come into the harbor
on account of the great depth of water
she draws. She will be coaled where
she is at anchor. Preparations for it
are being made today.
The Iris, carrying a water condens-
ing apparatus of great capacity, be-
sides material for repairs, and the Sem
dia, a collier, are following in the wake
of the Oregon and may arrive at any
time

FREE MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.
Some Pertinent Questions Upon the
Point.

Editor Star: I call your attention to
the following facts:
Joas de NobregC, a young Madeira
Portuguese, was hurt in the eyes While
working at Kaumana government road,
his parents are penniless people, and
consulting some doctors in Hilo, they
said, IF you pay fifty dollars we will
take you in, give you treatment and
will cure you"
VIII you kindly let me know if there
is any government doctor in Hilo, and
if there is any, why does he not attend
the people that are hurt in the Gov
ernment work free?
Why do we call him government ply
Sician?
Has this boy any right to claim his
treatment and full wages, commencing
from the day he was hurt, till he gets
better?
Most governments when anything of
the kind happens pay what l say, and
1 don't see why our government should
refuse to do likewise.

SILK CULTURE.
Suggestion to Look Into What has
Been Done on the Islands.

Editor Star: l have noticed several
articles lately in the local press in re-
gard to silk culture, and in your edi-
torial on the subject in your issue of
the 3lst ult. you caution those thinking
about going into the business to study
the history of California.
L would like to suggest also that they
make a study of these Islands. On
visit to Molokai made by me some few
years ago, Mr.. r.. w. Meyer told me
that he had made a trial of the bust
ne s and had given it up as a bad job.
He told me that as there was no win
ter here the worms natures at all
times, few at a time, instead of hav-
ing seasons, and that the cocoons were
not in a condition for manipulation in
quantities to pay.
If this is the case it would not pay
small farmers to go into the business,
even if extensive establishments could
make the culture pay.
Perhaps Mr.. Otto Meyer could give
valuable information on the subject.
Yours Truly,
C. II. DICKEY.

BRITAINs FAILING PRESTIGE.

For some time it has been obvious
that our trade prestige is slowly being
sapped. Germany and the United
States are our good friends, yet we
cannot hide it from ourselves that
they are rivals, and increasingly sue
cessful rivals, in field of trade" says
the Saturday Review. Year by year
they are reaping in a measure what we
have sown, entering into our labors in
regions which we once claimed as our
own. 1t would be foolish to quarrel
with this friendly rivalry. 1t would
show wisdom We're we to examine the
causes of this decline in our CONNER
cial prestige and resolutely set our
selves to devise the necessary reforms,
for the remedy Is largely in our own
hands. The markets of the world are
expanding, but our methods are slow
to adapt themselves to the new mar
kets and the new conditions of compe
tition. The world d-customer-With the
polyglot German at one elbow with his
cheapness, and the American at the
other elbow with his smartness-is now
beginning to leave the Englishman, to
his but to no ones else astonishment
And if our methods of distribution are
bad, our methods of production are
not perfect. The illiteracy, if we may
use the term, of masters and men alike
i'm the improved technique of their
crafts is alarming. In technical, as in
other education, we talk much and do
little. 1t is hard truth to accept, yet
truth it is, that the commercial and
industrial prestige of England is suf-
fearing eCliDsp" "

A LIrCKY STRIKE

There is an interesting story in con-
nection with a cement mill which is
about to start up in Kansas. For years
near Mulvane there used to be a large
tract known as the smoking prairie"
1t was good grazing ground, but dur
ing and after a rain it smoked, and no
one knew the cause until a stranger
quietly bought the tract one day and
announced that he had a fortune. The
cement lies on the surface in great
quantities and IS worth $40 a barrel.
