MEADE LOSES FHMA reform LEADER HAA MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT NICARAGUA THE ROUTE
COPTIC QUARANTINE SAVED
LEUNG CHI-TSO.
Tong Choy and all His Followers Killed.
Leung Meets K'ang Yu Wei in
Penang.

The plague case on the steamer Cop
tic was the means of saving the life of
refOrmer Leung Chi-tso, according to a
letter received by the last China mail
from one of his companions in the
journey to Sydney. The writer of the
letter is Lo Chong, a former student at
Iolani college, who Joined Leung in the
Orient ana is now with him in the Colo
nies. In a letter to Vim Shew, of this
city, written in English, Lo gives the
following account of how the detention
of the Coptic in quarantine saved Leung
and party from being present at a mas
sacre of their kind:
II left Toxic in August, accompany
ing Leung. We intended to go to HUI
peh and assist Tong Choy Thong and
his army 20 fight for restoration of the
Emperor. We took the S. S. Coptic and
found THAI she was going To be quaran-
tined for ten days. AT the end ~ the
ten days we went on shore and on
deavored to take the shin for Hankow
but we got telegram saying that Tong
had been beaten and the reforn,ert, 81
in number who were with him, had al
been executed by Chang chi Tung.
subsequently another message came
saying that the Chinese officials in
| Shanghai had given an order that al
reformers I'm this territory must bc
| seized. As soon as we heard this we
fled to Hong Kong and then to Singa,
! pore. Then we went to K'ang Yu We
on the isle of Penang and stayed ther,
! about a month.
Now we are going to Sydney. w,
/ thank God who delivered us from fall
! ing into the hands of Chang Chi Tung
| If the Coptic had not been quarantinet
no doubt we should have been in Han
kow with the reformers and should hav
| been executed. So by the deliVeranct
of the Almighty we escaped from thu
way of death and are granted anothe
chance to do our service and duties.
'Leung gives his kindest and res
| pectful regards to you and others VIII
know him. He says he will communi
cate with you and others from Sydney
VIII you kindly tell those people abou
Leung and his sayings.
81 remain, Sir,
yours sincerely,

Old BARRACKS SELECTED
PLACE WHERE CHINESE WILL BE
REGISTERED.
Building Secured from The Military
Authorities and VIII be Fitted UP at
Once-The Collector.

The old barracks next to the drill
shed of the National Guard will be used
by the revenue department for the re-
gistration of Chinese This conclusion
was finally reached yesterday and bids
for fitting up the place were privately
asked. 1t is intended that workmen
shall start in at once so that the build
ing may be ready for service early in
January.
Acting Collector w. f. c. Hasson
applied to Governor Dole for the use of
the National Guard armory, but the
Governor did not see how that building
could be spared without serious incon-
venience to the volunteer troops. The
old armory, however, is in the custody
of the United States military authori-
ties and permission for it's use was
readily given by Captain Shaker.
Both of the large front rooms of the
buildings will be used. 1t is purpOsed
to have all Chinese of Honolulu go
there to be registered. The law on this
subject is very rigid and will be strictly
enforced. The intention is to finish the
work in six months or less. The other
islands will have to be worked by clerks
appointed for such outside districts. A
large force of clerks will have to be
kept at the central office in the old
| barracks here.
The appointment of Mr.. Chamberlain
| to be collector was not a surprise to
| Mr.. Hasson, acting collector. 1t is
usual for a president or presidential
candidate to make numerous pro
misses" during campaigns and it was
! hardly to be supposed that "the first
show in Hawaii' was not promised to
| somebody. Mr.. H6sson has not yet de-
! cided whether he will continue as
deputy collector or not Much will de-
pend on the status of things after the
new year. He will continue to act as
collector until Mr.. Chamberlain arrives
and is formally installed.

REPORT OF ISTHMIAN CANAL
COMMISSION.
Reports on All Proposed Routes But
Says Nicaragua is the Most Practi-
cable and Feasible one.

NEW YORK, December A special
TO the Tribune from Washington says:
Complete unanimity in favor of the
Nicaragua route and convincing proof
of the urgency of the waterway, with
a wealth of accurate data never before
attainable to enable the Government to
enter unon the actual construction with
/ certainty as to the result, are the grati-
flying conclusions of the Isthmian Can
al Commission. The canal proposed is
| to be much larger than any hitherto
considered, in order that the largest
battleship or merchantmen may safely
pass, and it's estimated cost is 5000, ,540,-
600, requiring ten years in construction.
A thorough investigation has been
made not only of NICARAGUA and Pan
anna routes, but of the other possible
routes. The Commission concludes
with a careful comparison of the Mic
araguan and Panama routes. 1t shows
that the distances between the Atlantic
and Pacific ports are shorter by the
Nicaragua than the Panama route.
This in part is offset by the increased
time in getting through the Nicaragua
canal. The latter route is reported tor
be more favorable for sailing vessels.
| The Nicaragua route is also regarded
as advantageous through the develop
ment of the country through which it
| passes 1t is pointed out that the Pa
! mama concession now held by the
! TItuCll OOlllpdHN plbHlbllS lllc ttSSlOA
of rights to any nation or foreign gov
! ernment. The concession is limited, so
! that if the United States acquired it
! there would not be absolute ownership
! in perpetuity, as the concession pro-
| vides that the canal shall pass to Col
ombia after ninety years.
| President Mckinley sent the report
to Congress with a simple message Of
ltransmittal, making no comment
The report of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, submitted by the Presi-
dent to Congress today, gives as the
unanimous conclusion, of that body that
1.-The most practicable and feasible
route for an isthmian canal under the
control, management and ownership of
the United States is that known as the
; NiCaraguan route
The committee estimates the cost of
this route at 5000, $40 900. This estimate
! is much in excess of any heretofore
made, and is due to increased dimen-
) eions and other features not heretofore
considered. The Commission also esti-
mates the cost of canal by the Pana-
1 ma route at $142, ,342579. according ia
a one route, or $156,973,25 according to
5 another route

A SCIENTIFIC HAWAIIAN.

The name of Charles NJ. Cooke Jr.,
an0ears prominently in a work by Pro-
fessor Evans of Yale, upon the Hepatica
of the Hawaiian Islands. The know
ledge of this form of plant life on the
islands was not extensive till quite late
ly. The first thorough collection was
made by d. d. Baldwin in 1S75-76 but
was confined to the Island of Maui. DR..
Hillebrand made a small collection an
terror to that period. In 1874 was pub
lished list collected by Messrs. Mann
and Brigham. This list is complicated
by giving new names to previously
classified species. Mr.. Cookies collec-
tfons were made during the summers
of 1897, '9S, '99, and it is upon these col.
lections that Professor Evans has de-
pended for his description and illustra-
tions. 1t is satisfactory to see the
young men of the islands turning theil
attention to abstruse scientific study OF
this kind.

LAST NIGHT ON THE
WAIKIKI ROAD.
One Man Knocked Unconscious and
Left Lying on the Road-Struck a
Street Car

Waikiki road was the scene of a
mysterious accident at about ten
o'clock last night The night watch
man at the Moana hotel found a man
lying unconscious in the road near the
hotel. The injured man was removed
to Waikiki Inn where he was well
cared for, but it was some time before
he recovered consciousness. When he
did some strange circumstances devel-
oped.
1t appears that the man. who is a
coachman named David had compani-
ons with him when he met with his in
jury. He was driving in a small brake,
which had a violent collision with a
car. After he was thrown out and rem
dered unconscious by the injuries, the
car drove on and his companions fled,
| leaving him lying on the dark road,
in constant danger of being run over.
David refuses to tell today who his
companions were. One of them is said
to have been a woman and the other
man with whom the coachman had
quarrel before the trouble. Just
what took place is not known and the
| victim of the accident will not tell, but
it is known that the rig collided heavily
with car and that David had a very
| hard fall on his head, which was badly
| cut. The brake lost one wheel and
| had it's axle bent and the horse drag
oed it to a fence on the side of the
road. The car continued on it's journey
and the unknown man and woman left
! the scene, leaving David to be found
later. He was attended by DR.. VOTERS
who had to take several stitches i'm his
head. When he partially revided the
injured man wanted to know if the wo-
man had been killed, and then declined
to tell anything more about the matter
| Why the car did not stop to assist
the injured man is a mystery, unless
the driver failed to see him lying in tn,
