A TEMPERANCE CRUSADE
w. c. 4. U. AND MINISTER'S
UNION.
DR.. Chapman of the California Anti
Saloon League is Coming-Little-
fields Bill Will be Doomed,

Honolulu is on the eve of temper
ance crusade.
The Womans Christian Temperance
Union, and the Pastoral Union, will
each have a hand in it. At the meet
ing of the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union held yesterday afternoon
at Central Union church, it was an
nounced that Miss Jessie Ackerman
and Miss Ada Murcutt, "Round-The-
World Missionaries" of the Worlds
Womans Christian Temperance Union
would arrive here from the Coast by
the Coptic and would remain for a
week or ten days. Arrangements were
at the same time made for holding a
series of temperance meetings under
the auspices of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union.
These meetings are to be in sort
predatory and preparatory to the ad-
vent of DR.. Chapman of Oakland of
the California Anti-Saloon League
who will arrive here early in January
and begin a series of meetings and in
augurate a work which it is hoped will
amount to a successful crusade against
the liquor traffic.
Miss Alderman has been here before
and is well known in the Islands. Miss
Murcutt, whose home is in Australia,
comes here for the first time. Both
have regulations as able and efficient
lecturers.
It is a part of the plans for the cru
sade which DR.. Chapman is to inau-
gurate to arouse sentiment in favor
of the bill which Congressman Little
field of Maine has introduced, prohi-
biting the sale of liquor and opium to
aboriginal natives of the Pacific ISL
ands. On this subject the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has not
expressed it's position, but it is known
that some members of the local society
do not approve the measure, doubling
the principle of discrimination involved
in it, and likewise the possibility of en-
forcing it.
Mrs. Henry Waterhouse was at yes
terday's meeting appointed Superin-
tendent of the Flower Mission, and
Mrs. w. D. Westervelt, Superintendent
of the department of Temperance Lite.

Mr.. AZB|LL' 5 STATEMENT
THINKS HE WAS MISJUDGED BY
ATTORNEYS.
AT the Same Time He Sticks to Stand
That Three Men are Falsely Impris-
oned-Appeal to Consul.

The committee of the Protective
League to whom Rev. Azbills story of
injustice to Japanese in Kona was re-
ferred, held a meeting yesterday aft
ernoon. Rev. Azbill retold his story,
but the committee was not sufficiently
impressed to take any action.
Rev. Azbill has written the follow
ing:
EDITOR THE STAR: 1 beg to say
that the report of the Japanese case
on which you and certain legal gentle
men comment, was misleading. If
you had taken the report of the Bulle-
tin or of the Advertiser you would have
observed that 1 did not vouch for the
story which 1 said had been told to
me. 1t is matter for surprise that
those gentlemen did not make allow
ance for that particular style of re-
porting. Please rive them my love,
and tell them that, after further in
quiry, without any reflection on the
court or the attorneys, l am of opin-
ion, as are the Japanese of Kona and
of Honolulu, that three innocent men
are in prison working out their SEN
tence as the result of miscarriage OF
| justice in their cases.
Yours, w. K. AZBILL.
After inditing the above Rev. Mr.
Azbill called at The Star office and
said: "The judge and attorneys in this
| matter seem to construe the statements
made before the Protective League as
coming from me personally, whereas
was particular to say that it came
from others. My information was anC
| is from Japanese sources. Mr.. Katsu
numa is a very reliable man and he
| has, after the hardest of work in in
vestigating the matter, given me facts
| that convince me of the innocence o
three of the men now in prison. H,
| tells me that nothi- e like all the evi
| dence was taken in the case. Severa
witnesses We're shut out in the hurry
of the hearing. 1 believe those state
ments and shall follow the matter VI
to the end.
when Mr.. Davis says Mr.. Azbil
lies he had better first consult with
Mr.. Towt, a reliable sugar planter o
Kona, and the reliable Japanese o
Kona and Honolulu. He will find tina
the injustice done three men of tn,
party in question is well known amonl
| them.
"It is our intention to interest tn

| get a square deal for the men / hav
mentioned. There will probably b

AWAITING THE SIERRA.
Many People Expecting the New
Liner.


:. The new steamship Sierra was anX-
iously waited for all day yesterday and
all the previous night, as well as last
night and there was much surprise that
she did not show up at least this MORN
ing. According to her set time for de-
parture she was beginning her 7th day
last night, and, as she was supposed to
be coming along at her best pace, there
was good deal of speculation as to the
cause of the delay.
The general opinion was that she had
to wait for the British mails. The com
panys contract for carrying mails to
the Colonies provides that they must be
waited for if storms in the Sierra Ne
vada mountains cause delay of the over
land trains, In past years this has
caused some considerable waits, but
not recently. The snow plows now used
have proved able, during the past
couple of years, to push most of the
trains through on time and delays have
been few.
The company is well reimbursed for
delay, when it is caused by waiting for
! the mail. The British government pays
round sum for every day lost At the
same time it demands a good forfeit
from the company if a steamer is be-
hind time after having been able to
start on time. The contract also pro-
vides for a bonus to be given to any
| steamer that runs ahead of the sche-
! dule, so that the Oceanic steamers fol-
! the Colonies always have an interest il
| making good time.

CHURCH PARSONAGE.
Meeting of Central Union Called to
Discuss 1t.

Central Union church is considering
the matter of securing a parsonage.
The matter will be brought up for dis
cussion this evening at a church meet
ing to be called Immediately after the
regular Wednesday evening prayer
meeting.
More or less thought and considera-
ton has been given to the subject by
members and friends of the church,
though the church itself has never
taken any stand on the subject Sew
eral members of the church have in
terested themselves in the matter. A
number of pieces of property are avail
able for such a purpose. Some of them
are of property upon which to build, and
one at least is a nieca of property al
ready suitably built upon.
At the meeting this evening, if the
church decides that it is desirable to
proceed with securing a parsonage al
this time, it is probable a committee
will be appointed to take up the mat
ter.

SAILORS DESERT.
A Boat Was Stolen From The Bark
Bossuet.


BoSSuet.
A boat was stolen last night from the
French bark Bossuet and two men
deserted in her. They met two others
who got away some time ago, at the
Nuuanu bridge, where the boat was left
and all four men are thought to be
together
The latest place for deserving seamen
is in the colony of Portuguese beyond
Moanalua, and the police are having
great trouble in finding them. Captain
Flint is on the trail of the men who left
the Bossuet and will probably land
them.
A new captain for the Bossuet is ex-
pected to arrive on the Sierra, to take
the place of the man whose sickness
caused the stop here. The Bossuet will
then continue her journey to the Sound
While here her masts and spars have
been painted white and her bottom has
had a new coat ana she now presents
a very handsome appearance.
