IMPORTANT PURCHASE BY OAHU
COLLEGE.
Directors Buy the Miller Property on
Beretania Street-Plans to Add to the
Buildings.

The Miller property on Beretanla
street has been purchased by Oahu Col
lege. This is the first step toward a
very considerable increase in the capa-
city of the institution. The property
purchased amounts to between three
and four acres and is very valuable
land, being in highly desirable loca-
ton. 1t adjoins the grounds of Puma
hou Preparatory, a department of Oahu
and the plans-o the directCrs are said
to involve the erection of new build
ing for Punahou in the near future.
The land was purchased from Lady
Mary Hammond Graeme of the Isle Of
Wight. She is a daughter of the late
General Miller, formerly British Consul
to this port, who was the owner of the
property. His will left it to Lady
Graeme. She has not been in Honolulu
for many years. For time the Miller
place was leased by DR.. Robert McKib-
bin. The directors of Oahu College have
been quietly considering the purchase
for some time and few days ago the
deal was closed. The land acquired
fronts on Beretania street and extends
the whole distance from Beretania to
Vineyard along Miller street and ad-
joins the residence of eX-Queen Liliuo-
kalani.
The Board of Directors of Oahu Col
lege held secret meeting some days
ago and it was decided that the plans
for the projected building and other
improvements should not be made
known at present. The great increase
in attendance at both Punahou and
Oahu is the cause of the step the board
has taken. 1t is understood that the in
tention is to add to the courses and TO
give Honolulu a college that will take
a high place among educational insti-
| tutions, for equipment and size as
we'll as for teaching and training There
are already sixteen buildings on Oanu
campus.
Many of the directors of Oahu Col
| lege are away from Honolulu at the
present time.

NOT THE WIsEST WAY.

1t is not always best to wait until 1t
is needed before buying bottle Of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. Quite frequently the
remedy is required in the very busiest
season or in the night and much incon-
venience and suffering must be borne
before it can be obtained. 1t costs but
a trifie as compared with its real worth
and every family can we'll afford to keep
1t in their home. 1t is everywhere ac-

THE GLADYS WINS THE HAWAII
CUP.
President Dole's Long Victorious Yacht
by Twenty-three Minutes

The Gladys won the Hawaii cup yes
terday. She led the Bonnie Dundee
from the start and except during one
stretch of the course, when she was be-
calmed, she increased her lead con-
stantly until the end She finished %
minutes and seconds ahead of Presi-
dent Dole's yacht, which FOR ten years
has beaten all competitors in Hawaiian
waters.
From the time the yachts glided past
the starting line, watched by an inter-
ested crowd on shore and from many
vessels, the Gladys was in danger of be-
ing overhauled only on the long stretch
for the Pearl Harbor stake boat. While
the sails of T. w. Hobron's yacht flap
ped idly in a calm, the Bonnie Dundee
bore down upon her at a furious pace.
President Dole's boat decreased the lead
of the Gladys from Az minutes to one
minute and 29 seconds. But the Gladys
caught the wind in time. Her sails fill
ed out and she sped on, piling UP dis
tance between herself and her nearest
competitor so that the result of the
contest was a certainty some time be-
fore the end.
The start was a very even one, the
Bonnie getting off first at 1903, the
Hawaii at 1907, the Gladys at 1910
and the Marion at 1:10 by the time the
spar buoy was reached the Gladys was
% seconds ahead, at the bell buoy she
was 80 ahead and on the trip to wind
ward she got farther away from the
Presidents yacht surprising many
watchers by sailing closer to the wind
than the Bonnie, which had never been
outpointed here before. The Gladys
passed the Waterhouse place at Waild-
XII 450 in the lead and rounded the
stake boat minutes ahead. The time
was 1:S2:3O. The Hawaii passed at
1:3S45 and the Marion at 1:40:3G. The
run to the Pearl Harbor stake followed,
with the Gladys loss in calm, which
| she made up by reaching the bell buoy
at 4:01 while the Bonnie's time was
4:19:45. The winner reached the home
| line at 4:16:25. The Bonnie followed at
4:39:2S, the Hawaii at $3.50 and the
Marion at 5:45.
The Gladys was built I'm San Fran
cisco after a design by v. D. Bacon of
Massachusetts. She is beautiful
pleasure craft, and has now demonstrate
ed that her speed is the best in these
waters. The Bonnie Dundee was de-
signed by Fife, the designer of Sir
| Thomas Liptons Shamrock, which is
about to contest for the America cup
| She was built in Scotland.
| The time allowances for the race have
| not yet been figured but they will MOI
be large enough to effect the result. I
is estimated that the Bonnie Dundee
will have something like minute In
| her favor.

STEAMERS RACING.
The Mauna Loa and Claudine in a
Speed Contest

The Claudine and Mauna Loa that
left here on Tuesday, are engaged in a
race over their route, as far as each
is the same. The contest is creating
much interest in shipping circles and
many are awaiting news of the result.
They left here within a few minutes OF
one another on Tuesday and before 60
ing Captains Simerson and. Freeman
are said to have agreed upon a trial Of
speed.
The Claudine had slight start when
the steamers left. She passed the light
house at twenty-five minutes before 1.
The Mauna Loa passed twelve minutes
later. When the steamers were last
seen the Mauna Loa had made up all
that she was behind and was in the
lead. The Claudine was in sight, how
ever, and Captain Freeman was not
sparing any efforts to win the race.
The racers arrived at Kaunakakai at
the same time. The Mokolii was there
as they steamed up to the dock, the
Mauna Loa having made up the twelve
minutes she was behind at the start.
They left Kaunakakai together and
when last seen were steaming for La
haina. They were sighted by the Kauai
on its return here. The Mauna Loa was
sixteen minutes ahead.

THE VICTORIA BRINGS SOME
CONTRACT LABORERS.
The American Consul at Madeira
Causes a Third of Her Emigrants to
Desert the VESSEL

The British tramp steamer Victoria,
whose cargo of emigrants for this port
has been the subject of a good deal Of
international diplomatic discussion, ar
rived here early last evening and an
chored near the Pacific Mail wharf. In
stead of nearly 600 Portuguese and
Spanish emigrants, who had signed to
take passage on her, she brings only
343. Through the action of the Ameri-
can Consul at Madeira, the company
which shipped the men and women is
out the advances made for 200 of them
who refused to ship when Consul Jones
told them their labor contracts were
useless.
Before the Victoria left Madeira Con-
sui Jones took occasion to notify the
men and women who had signed to
leave their native land for the sugar
plantations of Hawaii that the Islands
had been annexed to the United States
and that the labor contracts they had
made would not hold. The prospective
emigrants were informed that they
would be landed at Honolulu and would
have to take their chances of getting
work after they arrived. Two hundred
of the men and women who had ship
ped deserted the vessel. The Victoria
left port with the remainder after lodg-
ing a vigorous protest against the ac-
ton of the consul.
On the vessel were 205 men, Sc women
and so children. During the trip three
births and one death occurred and four
teen stowaways We're found.
The emigrants are in charge of Thom-
as f. Ivens, representative of the firm
of Nathan & Company, London, by
whom the contracts with the laborers
were made. Through the British Gov
ernment Nathan e. Company protested
to the Government at Washington,
against the loss they had sustained by
reason of the American Consul's action.
The result was an investigation which
resulted in a decision that Consul Jones
was wrong in his course.
When seen this morning Mr.. Ivens
said that he did not know what action
his company is taking in the matter. 1t
| is understood that a claim for damages
| is being made. Consul Jones was GER
| tainly wrong in the proceedings he
took" said Mr.. Ivens, land it cost us a
| considerable sum. An advance had been
| made to each of the 200 men who de-
serted our vessel and we lost that. Be
| sides we are out money spent for provi-
sions for them on the journey and we
use our steamer for a load far below
her capacity"
The Victoria's emigrants are the first
| Spanish and Portuguese to arrive here
| under contract for some time. They haC
| an easy voyage and are in good health
| This morning many of them spent theil
| time diving from the steamer and
swimming in the harbor. They will be
distributed on various sugar planta-
| tions.
The Board of immigration will have
| the Vctoria's immigrants landed al
| quarantine as matter of convenience

THE ALAMEDA ROBBERS.

SAN FRANCISCO, September eff
the Australian trio, Casey, Kelly and
Murphy, as they are generally known,
be not the robbers of the specie vault
of the steamer Alameda, though, ac-
cording to Chief Lees, there is little
doubt of this, they are Crooks" of the
worst kind, and are not only fugitives
from the justice of other countries, but
have been implicated in criminal af-
fairs in this city.
Chief Lees is thoroughly convinced
that they had hand in the robbery OF
5000 sovereigns from the Alameda last
June.

with sticks at the lumber yards at the
foot of Fort street this morning. At
the end of the encounter Domingo Feri

in his head caused by the sharp edge OF
the stick. He was taken aboard the
Ke Au Hou, and later removed in a
hack to the hospital.

that Feri drove a horse almost on to
him and then began to abuse him
When Shores talked back, according tt
his story, Fer got a stick. Then Shores
got one and there was a lively few mo-
ments. Feri was not quick enough fol
his opponent and one blow on the heaC
ended the engagement. The injured
mans head bled profusely and he was
unable to sit up in the hack.

otherwise, hence the suit has been dis
continued.
