THE RIO WAS IN DANGR.F|V DAYS OF STORM
WARRIMOO's LONG RUN UNDER
SLOW SPEED.
Fear for the Kintuck and Her 500
Horses and Mules-The Logan and
Rio.

The Canadian steamship Warrimoo
arrived this morning from Victoria, two
days late, having been detained by the
storm that kept the Sierra and Rio back
For the first few days of the journey
fearful weather was encountered. Re-
ports of the storm caused a good deal
of apprehension here as to the fate of
the transport Kintuck. The Kintuck is
large stock transport. She left Seat
tie on the 14th, with over 500 horses and
mules on board, and went into the
storm at once. The various stories of
storm that have been brought here by
other vessels led the war department
officials here to fear that the Kintuck
would sustain heavy loses, or that she
would put back into San Francisco.
The Warrimoo was in difficulties for
five days and was under reduced speed
for the whole of that time. She encoun-
tered heavy southwest gales on the 18th
and the storm lasted until the goth
During all these five days and nights
the steamer was under slow speed and
laboring fearfully. On the 21st the
weather moderated and became fine and
the passengers got relief from the
storm.
IT used to think the term Pacific
ocean meant something" said Captain
Stenson of the transport Logan, which
arrived yesterday. During this trip
might have thought was off Cape Hat
teras all the time. 1 have been In the
Logan Is months now and this was the
first time l had to lash things in my
room. There was no wind to speak of
but the sea was fearful. For twelve
hours we had to slow down"
The City of Rio de Janeiro, Captain
Ward, had the same experience as the
other two steamers. She arrived yes
terday morning one day late.
The Rio left for China and Japan
early this morning, and the WarrimoC
goes at nine tonight The Logan is
busy coaling and will probably not bC
able to get away till tomorrow morning
Then the Thomas and possibly the Kin
tuck will be in and the war department
employees will have a chance to work a!
| hard on Christmas day as they die
| Sunday.
This morning some indications of &
| coming "Kona" were observed by ole
| timers on the front, and the three
| steamers which have reached here afte
such a buffeting may possibly run int
another storm when they leave.

PURELY A TECHMCAUTY
QUESTION OF LANDING OF MRS
YIN CHUN SAL.
Is a Part owner and Manager of a
Mercantile Concern a Merchant?
Judge Estee Must Answer

The habeas corpus case of Vim Chun
Sal, a Chinese woman, now before the
United States district court, Will be
fought out on a rather interesting tech
nicality. This woman is the wife of
Vim Ouock Leonr assistant manager
of the Wing on Tai Company and man
ager of a rice plantation on the other
side of the island. She arrived here by
the last steamer from Hong Kong with
out any ~--~rs but with a claim that
her husband was a merchant in Homo
lulu.
The law is very explicit in defining
what classes of women may land with
out permits stating "the wives of mer-
chants" 1t is supposed that the wives
of Chinese in other lines of trade OF
labor must have the regular permit Is
little Mrs. YIN Chun Sal the wife of d
merchant? That is the question that
the collector of customs hung on and
the question that must be settled by the
court.
The woman's husband, Vim Quock
Leong, is only assistant manager of a
mercantile concern. At the same time
he has stock in the business-a moneyed
interests partner therein This is
admitted by Chinese Agent Brown. At
the same time 1t is contended by the
Government officials that YIN Quock
Leong is not a merchant within the
meaning of the law
The technicality is plainly as slender
as thread but big fight will be made
over 1t, as on account of the business
systems of the Islands many Chinese
are and will be affected. The collector
contends that the wife of an officer in a
| company is lot the wife of a merchant.
In other words, mercant must own
and be in possession of his store
before their wives may come to them.
The matter came up before Judge Es-
tee this morning. The plaintiff, a num-
Der of witnesses, attorneys and court
! officials were present. After cOnsulta-
/ ton it was agreed to refer the matter
to Commissioner Robinson to take the
testimony Mr.. Robinson announced
that he would sit at 10 a. m. Wednesday
morning for that purpose.

WAS SECRETARY TO COMMISSION
TO PARIS.
Declares That The Hawaiian Exhibit
Was Successful, Attracting Attention
And doing Good

Major George G. Potter, secretary OF
the Hawaiian commission to Paris re-
turned by the Rio de Janeiro yesterday
morntng having made a direct and
quick trip from Europe not stopping
anywhere. Though a little tanned gay
Paree" has not had any effect upon the
appearance of the former genial sec
retary of President Dole. Major Pot
ter was away eight months almost to
the day. He said this morning:
Il consider that the Hawaiian ex-
hibit was a great success and did the
country much good. OF course we were
handicapped in arriving late, the pia-
que having caused a delay at this end:
but when the exhibit was established I
am sure 1t did good. On account of be-
ing late the Judges had passed the
United States building and we did not
secure some of the prizes to which we
were entitled.
THE show was of course a great and
magnificent One and it was natural to
suppose that a small exhibit would at
tract very little attention. To the con-
trary our exhibit was constantly the
object OF attention. All of the litera-
ture in possession of the commission
was eagerly sought for and was dis
trtbuted. Thousands upon thousands of
Americans looked carefully over our
display and / am sure learned great
deal of the baby territory that they had
not found out at home.
Information was sought all the time.
1t kept us busy answering questions.
People from all parts of the world
wanted to know about Hawaii.
Yes, / have heard that Mr.. Berry did
not like the exhibit" continued Major
Potter. "Of course every man is en-
TITLED to his opinion. | was very sorry
that | was out both times Mr. Berry
called, but he happened to come in just
when important matters called me else
where. feel sure that had l taken him
through the exhibit and shown him
what we were doing he would have
come away with a very different i'm
preston"
Major Potter does not yet know what
his future plans will be. He will spend
the next few days in seeing friends and
looking around at the improvements of
the past eight months. This morning
he called upon Governor Dole at the
capitol and gave general account of
his trip.
Almost everything owned by the
commission was given to the CONNER
cfal Museum of Philadelphia" conclud-
ed Major Potter There it will be a
permanent exhibit. Articles loaned by
private parties and school exhibits were
sent to Bremen to be returned in the
Hackfeld line of sailing vessels to Ho-

CHINESE RELIEF FUNDS.
Statement From Leading Chinese over
the Final Disposition.

The following statement has been is
sued by the Chinese regarding the mac
curacies of certain local papers in re-
porting the meeting which was called
recently by the Chinese to settle the dis
position of the relief fund raised for the
purpose of assisting Chinese who were
| made destitute by the fire:
EDITOR STAR: In the issue of the
Bulletin of the 20 inst, and the Advert
ser today under the title of "Chinese
Consul was at the meeting" a state
ment was made that the subject dis
cussed before the meeting was whether
or not the balance of the relief fund is
to be used to run an attorney to repre-
sent the Chinese-Americans at WASH
ington.
II wish to say that this statement is
absolutely false and without foundation
| from whatever source 1T may originate.
THE topic discussed was the disposal
of the balance of the funds of the Chi
nese Relief Society. The more radical
members favor the transference of the
balance of the fund to the Chinese Hos
| pital to be invested with the condition
that only the interest is to be used by
the hospital, but the principal is to be
| kept untouched and ready for any
emergency that may arise.
This polcv is favored and approved
of by the contributors towards the relief
| fund: Claus Spreckels &, Co., The First

"The consul objects to this policy but
| favored the maintenance of a nominal
relief society so that when money is re-
quired in China for relief purposes, he
claims he has the right to do so, and
by immortalizing the Chinese govern
ment, he could obtain promotion and
honor-it is for this reason that the con-
sui is so strenuously opposed to the
| transference of the money to the hos
pital.
81 further state that the naturalized
Chinese have never contemplated to
make use of the relief funds for theii
political uses.
Thanking you for your valuable
space, l remain, yours respectfully,
WONG LEONG,
President of Chinese Hospital Associa.

THE BULL BY THE HORNS
TERRITORY WILL OFFER LEASES
FOR SALE.
Three Lots on the Esplanade to Go to
the Highest Bidder-Other Matters
Before the Executive.

Nothing has yet been heard from
Washington regarding the status of the
Hawaiian government in relation to
public lands, in reply to the recent
submission of District Attorney Baird,
but the executive has concluded to take
the bull by the horns anyway and will
at once announce the sale of the leases
of certain lots on the Esplanade to
the highest bidder The two lots for
merly occupied by the Canadian Aus
tralan Steamship Company will be sold
for a term of five years at an upset
rental of $50 a month Another lot
near the Wilder wharf, which was re-
Gently used by the United States gov
ernment, will also be sold for five years
at an upset of $50 a month. Governor
Dole has instructed Superintendent Nc
Candless to advertise the leases of
these lots for sale as above specified.
Several applications FOR light wine
and beer licenses were considered in
the executive meeting this morning.
Most of them were for renewals, the
year having expired.
The Rapid Transit Company applied
for permission to go ahead with its line
from Lillha street down King to the
bridge, thence to Hotel, to Alakea, to
Queen, to South, and along King to
Alapai This was granted, except that
the executive wishes the company to
keep near King beyond the stream SO
as not to cut too much into the prop
erty on the msuka-Ewa side.
A matter of land for the extension
of Kukui street was settled agreeably
to the owner. The owner is a native
woman. She expressed a willingness to
accept LOO in full settlement and the
same will be paid her.
The Board of Health recommended
the closing of Relief Camps 1 and on
account of their insanitary condition
No. / was ordered closed. With respect
to No. it was decided to sell the build

owners of the land were the purchas-
ers. 1t is understood that Theo. Rich

PUMP GIVES OUT AND FIREMEN
QUIT.
Porto Ricans Greatly Terrified by the
Storm-Only One Pump Left in Work
ing Order.

Passengers who came here on the
steamship kio give terrible stories of
the experiences the vessel passed
throug. There was not only the rough
seas, with the consequent heavy roll
ing of the vessel but for time the Rio
was in real danger. Not many of her
passengers knew that at one time the
firemen below deserted their posts and
that out of five pumps only one was left
in condition to be of any use when the
storm was at it's height.
The waves of what is now known to
have been one of the worst storms ever
recorded on the Pacific rolled over the
poured below in tremendous guam
titles. Four pumps broke down and
were made useless and the water began
to flood things below till most of the
firemen quit and some of the fires We're
eXtingnished. The position of the ves-
sci, with firemen driven from their
posts and water rising below was quite
critical in such a sea, but the chief en-
| gineer got the fifth pump working and
reduced the water. Then the fires were
| looked after again and with her engines
going the vessels could weather the
storm.
The passengers in the meantime were
all confined to their staterooms. For
! four or five days they were not allowed
on deck, and could hardly see each
| other
The experience of the voyage was
| hardest upon the Porto Rican laborers
who came here for plantation work.
| They were all in the steerage together
and the rolling of the vessel filled them
with terror. The Porto Rico immigrants
are all ignorant and many of them
weak specimens of manhood They
were not used to the dangers of ocean
| travel, and there were very few in the
| steerage who did not wish, when the
storm was at it's height, that they had
stayed at home and remained hall
starved there, instead of starting for
Hawaii in the hone of finding prosperity
and being knocked about by the wave.
and worried half to death by stories OF
the slavery that they were about to bC
sold into.
The Rio made very good time here, II
view of the terrible weather she en-
| countered. She was only one day late
which is better than any other steamer
that has come here through the storm
has done so far.

WARsHIPs TOGETHER.

The United States training ship
Adams and the British sloop of war
Icarus nearly had a mix-up in the har-
Dor this morning, not with guns but
with hulls and rigging The Adams
broke loose from her moorngs and
started for the Britisher, as If to strike
the starboard bow with her stern. The
Eleu went to the rescue and prevented
such a grave International encounter.
The brisk south wind that sprang up
early this morn0~ was responsible for
the pilikia. 1t m9 de the harbor quite
rough, whitecaps being evident all over
The Adams moorings parted astern and
soon she began to veer round and bear
down upon the Icarus. The two vessels
were quite close together and for time
collision seemed likely. The Eleu had
hard work moving the American war
vessel round against the wind, but
finally got her back into position.

HE CREMATED HIMSELF.
ACTOF A DESPERATE PRISON
Err AT HIGHLAND.
Set the Guard House on Fire and
Was Burned With 1t. Had
Tried to Shoot a Merchant.

RICHLAND, Ca, April 2.-The Gala
boose was fired here last night about
$50 by John Goly,a negro. He entered
the store of Perryman & Co. Being
drunk, he was ordered out by Mr.. Tom
Perryman. This enraged the negro so
that he left the store and armed him
self and returned and called Mr.. Per-
ryman into a consulting room and made
an effort to shoot him, but was pre-
vented.
The negro was arrested and placed
in the calaboose and in twenty minutes
had fired the building and was burned
with it.
The Masonic Temple caught fire, and
if it had not been for the heroic eff,
forts of the bucket brigade the entire
business portion of the town would
have been destroyed.
On account of threats made by some
of the negroes to burn Mr.. Perryman
out there was an extra force put on
the streets last night.
