COPTIC HERE WITH
NEWS FROM HAWAII!
NO FEAR OF PLAGUE ATTACK
ING THE ISLANDS.
Colonel Ames Returns to Recuperate.
A Whitehall Accident That
Was Nearly Disaster.

The steamship Coptic arrived in port
last evening and anchored in the stream.
She left Nagasak on June u with ninety
five cabin passengers and 517 steerage.
The trip up was uneventful, not an acct
dent being recorded or a sickness re-
ported.
Among the distinguished cabin passen-
gers was Colonel Ames of the First Min
nesota Infantry Regiment, who is on his
way to this city to meet his wife. He
has been ailing and is enjoying a four
months leave of absence from his regf-
ment Dr. Sheldon, an army surgeon who
has seen service in Manila, is also a pas
senger.
The Coptic brings news of the death Of
hapiolani, who passed away on the 24th
of June after a lengthy illness. Her body
lay in state in the old Hawaiian church
for eight days and was viewed by thou
sands Great sorrow was apparent among
the royalty. Her body was inferred last
Sunday with fitting honor by her people.
Stocks in Hawaii are reported down two
points owing TO the San Francisco mar
The information already published that
the passengers on the Nippon Maru were
placed in quarantine at Honolulu was
borne out by passengers on the Coptic
Ihey state that the passengers on the
snip were detained on the quarantine boat
city OF Columbia for seven days before
being allowed to proceed to this city The
Coptic also reports no sickness at Homo
lulu and no panic in that distant port
over the dangers of plague.
The Copttc left Nagasaki on June u and
reached Honolulu without mishap, leaving
that place on Tuesday last.
Death by drowning was narrowly
aYerted last night. Shortly after the
Coptc anchored in the stream a news
paper man was rowed out to the steamer
by Jim Farrell and Jack MCGOWAN In
some unknown manner the whitehall
sprung leak, and but for the opportune
arrival of Henry Peterson's launch Amy
with other newspaper men aboard a dis
aster might have resulted. The passen-
ger and McGowan We're taken aboard the
launch, but Farrell persisted in staying
by his leaky boat. Before the line could
be fastened the whitehall drifted a mile
away and Peterson had great difficulty
in finding Farrell and his boat 1t was
t0wed back to Meiiggs wharf. and when
close to that place MCGOWAN, who wanted
TO give sample of his bravery, plunged
into the cold water with his clothes on.
He proved an expert swimmer and man
aged to reach the wharf in safety

A Bill Signed That Did
Not Pass.
WORK CHECKED
COMMISSION OF PUBLIC WORKS
LAPSED BY MISTAKE
The Question of Relieving a State
Misfortune Now Placed in the
Hands of the Supreme
Tribunal.

The Supreme Court heard in bank
yesterday afternoon the writ of man
date recently granted to Ed e. Leake
directing the State Controller to ap-
pear and show cause why he should
not pay petitioner a salary as Commits
sioner of Public Works for the month
of March.
Judge Beatty explained that the writ
had been granted on account of the i'm
portance Of the interests involved and
the urgency for a speedy determination
Of the issues raised, and a delay would
seriously hamper an important State
work and impair the efficiency of i'm
portant work already accomplished
Attorney General Ford and Deputy
Abbott appeared for the respondent,
and J. c. Brusie represented the pc
titioner.
All counsel agreed that the act of
1899 is null and void for the reason that
the Governor signed bill that did not
pass the Legislature. a remark made
by Justice Van Dyke left the inference
that the court holds the same view.
Mr.. Ford contended that by the pro-
visions of the act of 1879 the office of
Commissioner of Public Works expired
by limitation on March /, 1899. He
contended that in amending the act of
1893 and providing that the office shall
cease to exist at a stated time it is not
necessary that the purpose of such
amendment be stated in the title.
Mr.. Ford expressed sincere regret
for the blunder of the Legislature
which he claimed has resulted in stop
ping a work of great Importance to the
State, and the beneficial effects of
which are so apparent that nobody de-
MES that it is a public calamity that
the office has been allowed to lapse.
Mr. Brusie, for the petitioner, con-
tended that the second section Of the
act of 1897 is a rider added to the orig
nal bill for the purpose Of repeating it
and is therefore invalid, for the reason
that this purpose is not expressed in
the title. In support of this contention
he quoted many decisions rendered in
resort. One of these decisions was
written by Chief Justice Beatty Of this
State.
Mr.. Brusie also called attention to
what is known as the Auditing Board
act This was passed several weeks
after the act of 1897. It prescribes the
duties of the members of the Auditing
Board, all of which are contingent upon
the existence of the office Of Commits
sioner of Public Works. Every line of
this act implies the existence of such
office, and it continues the Auditing
Board indefinitely.
The last clause provides for the re-
peal of all acts and parts Of acts IN con-
hict with 1t. AS section Of the act Of

Grant Avenue Loop Will Not Be
Awarded TO the Railroad.
Seven Votes Save the City From the Big Raid Of the
Monopoly An Indefinite POstpOnement Secured
After Stubborn Fight.

THE Board Of Supervisors will not
offer for sale franchises on Grant
avenue, Stockton, Battery and
Stanyan streets The Market
Street Railroad Company has
lost that part of it's projected steal
which was involved in the disposition
Of these privileges. The Supervisors
decided yesterday by a vote of seven
to five to postpone indefinitely all fur
ther consideration of the franchises.
This settles the matter once for all
The board adopted finally the cork
screw franchise and thus insures to
the people Of the city this important
crosstown railroad.
The other four propositions were not
defeated without a stubborn battle,
in which the railroad people received
valuable but vain support. When the
report of the Street Committee was
read it was found that Supervisors
Aigeltinger, Attridge and Holland had
signed a recommendation of the four
franchises. Supervisors Kalben and
Collins, who are members of the COM
mittee, refused TO sign the report.
When the report had been read Super
visor Deasy moved that all reference
to franchises be stricken out, as he was
informed that the committee had made
no recommendation at its meeting on
Thursday.
The motion was Immediately sec
onded and then Supervisor Aigeltinger
arose to make a curious explanation.
He admitted that the Street Committee
had taken no definite action on Thurs
day, but had met yesterday morning
and made the recommendations in
cluded in the report. "All we did this
for" he said, was to get the matter
out Of the way" After an uninteresting
skirmish the board suspended it's rules
to hear what representatives Of the
Merchants Association, Improvement
clubs and citizens unattached had TO
say in reference to the franchises. At
the same time Supervisor Aigeltinger
presented an elaborately prepared reso-
luton offering the franchises for sale
and authorizing an advertisement for
bids.
Then the old, time-wOrn, hackneyed
discussion followed. A. S. Baldwin
consumed considerable valuable time
in repeating what he had said better
before The only new thought that his
anything but fertile brain suggested

was the feeble expression Of a suspicion
that the newspapers are very wicked
affairs generally and should not oppose
the Grant avenue loop. Mr.. Baldwin
was followed by the Rev. Father Otis,
who wanted 70 see the Grant avenue
loop franchise sold as a road upon the
thoroughfare will be a convenience to
the people that attend st. Mary's
Church. Edgar Painter also chirped
daintily in advocacy Of the proposed
raid and H. Peterson ended the sym
postum.
Supervisor Aigeltinger then moved
that the franchises be considered by
the board. Byington Immediately
amended to refer the franchises again
to the Street Committee. to remain in
the committee until the Market Street
Railroad Company agreed to abide by
the provisions of the charter to lay un-
derground wires and to use Berlin
rails. The amendment was lost by the
following vote: yes-Byington, Col
Inns. Deasy, Heyer, Lackmann and Per
rault; noes-Aigeltinger, Attrtdge,
Black, Holland, Kalben and Phelps. A
vote was then taken on Aigeltinger's
motion, which was also lost by the fol-
lowing vote: AyeS-Aigeltinger At
fridge. Black. Holland, Kalben and
Phelps; noes-Byington, Collins.
Deasy, Heyer, Lackmann and Per
raut.
This simply meant that the board re-
fused to consider the franchises out of
the regular order of business. The
lobby disappeared and the board pro
ceeded with the routine of the day.
After all other business had been
transacted the franchise question was
forgotten. Supervisor Lackmann re-
called it to the attention of his asso-
ciates and Aigeltinger's resolution Of
fering the four franchises for sale was
read. Supervisor Lackmann imme-
diateIy moved that all further consid-
Grafton of the matter be indefinitely
postponed. This motion, which killed
the franchises and saved the city from
the raid of the monopoly, was adopted
by the following vote:
Ayes-supervisors Byington, Col
Inns, Deasy, Heyer, Kalben, Lack
mann and Perrault-7.
Noes-supervisors Aigeltinger, At
fridge, Black, Phelps and Hollands.
