was in the city to-day en- route for
Lawrenceville, where he will assist the
prosecution in the trial Of Rev. ]. L. r.
Riddick, which begins at that place to-
morrow.
MIR. Saunders is in favor of the call
ing Of an extra session of the Legisla-
ture this summer, probably In August,
to fix the time and place for the hold
Ing of the Constitutional Convention.
1t Is Mr.. Saunders idea to have the
convention composed OF about q hun
dred delegates. the same to be chosen
at the November election. He thinks
that small body of men will be more
easily handled, and that better results
can be obtained.
Speaker Saunders carries great
weight in the Democratic party, and 1t
seems more than likely that his views
will be adopted. He was at the Capt.
toll To-day and held n long conference
with the Governor on the subject Of
the convention. 1t is generally thought
that Governor Tyler will issue a call
for n session to be held some time
during August.

The eclipse of the sun was viewed to-
day by practically the entire popula-
ton of Richmond and Manchester, bus

while II was in progress.
The negro population was considerably
stirred up by the phenomenon, many
declaring that the sun had been "cun-
5ured." and that the end OF the world
was at hand.
n,,,.i ~

sun. The effect OF the eclipse here was
that of a moon light night.

duct the case for the contestants, that
the returns of the Sixth and Seventh
wards will be attacked
In this connection, 1T is interesting to
note that the Republican Judge In the
Sixth ward, Mr.. Joseph Caruthers, not
only alphabetically denies that there was
fraud in that ward. but Is distinctly
angry at the imputation, which he con-
slders reflection upon himself

TWO POLITICIANS INDULGE IN A
DISCUSSION.
Achi, Of the Republicans, and Moss
man, of the Independent Bind
ers Entertain a Street Crowd.

There was a novel political meeting
on King street near Nuuanu this morn
ing. 1t was not a meeting of tOrChlight
| professions of two opposing parties,
| when neither would surrender the right
| OF way but was the next thing to il:
1t was meeting between w. c. Achi,
of the Republican party, and William
Mossman, of the Independents. The
affair had a small beginning but de-
Veloped to such a size that police in
tervention was finally necessary to
clear the streets.
Achi and MOssman are leaders of
their respective parties, The former
controls and holds a large number of
natives in the ranks of the Republicans,
and expects to go to the Senate this
fall on this support. Mossman is a
leader, with Wilcox, Kaulia and Ka-
lauokalani in the Independent party
and toured this island with the noted
spell-binders last month. He expects
soft billet somewhere in the govern
ment when the election is over
The two leaders started a friendly
chat. Politics was the subject. The
| discussion waXed warm and yet warm
er. Three native boys and a dog stop
ped to hear. a sailor fell out of a sa-
loon next door ana Joined the crowd.
a native fisherman came up to see
what the trouble was about and was
| Immediately joined by two Japanese
| ana native woman. AChi, perCeiVing
that he had an audience, raised his
voice: My grandfather and my faith
| er could not vote for senators; | can.
! Why? Because the United States gave
/ that privilege to me-"
Yes replied Mossman but in the
past seven years you and your crowd
kept me from voting for senator's"
1t was case of get back for some
time, the honors being about even. A
party of cosmopolitans on the corner
adjourned to the scene. A bus filled
with Kalihi people drew up there and
refused TO bulge. Kalihi people are in
politics and care nothing for bus
schedules when a Republican speech is
being made. The crowd thiCkened the
sidewalk became jammed and big,
motley crowd stood in the street
Move on. Move ont" shouted the po-
! lice. The audience waXed bigger and
tons and 16 to 1 badges We're all around.
BY this time the orators had become
worked up to their task. They were
| ostensibly speaking to each other but
were really talking to the crowd"

| from Achi.
Had ii not been for annexation we
would have been a Japanese colony
today and you would be on your up

was applause from the Chinese side of

At the end of a half hour the police

DEATH OF MRS. ]. X. FARLEY.
Expired Suddenly of Heart Failure at
KOlOa.

A CHANGE EXPECTED ON THE
WATER FRONT.
Evangelist McComb Smiles at the Pros
pect of the Departure of Turk and
Lewis.

The United States Sailors Home,
which is conducted by Turk and Lewis
has been offered for sale and it is re-
ported along the front that the ship
ping masters are packing up to leave
Honolulu. The home has not been a
very great success, and the shipping
business here doesn't seem to be worth
the trouble it is causing the pair. Evan
gelist McComb wears broad smile and
he is expected to get up a celebration at
the Joyful News Mission If the current
reports prove true.
Honolulu's treatment of the shipping
master business has been a painful
surprise to many people. The shipping
men claim to have come here only to do
what they are allowed to do in peace
in other cities, and they had an idea
that a place like Honolulu far from the
big centers ought to be an easy game.
Instead of this it was found that the
police were on the track of everything
that looked a bit queer" and that the
merchants would not stand any bleed
ing.
There were combinations of mer-
chants and of captains to stop the ship
ping masters from getting control of the
beach and for the past two months the
business has been worth very little
Captain Bray of the Sailors Home
and the Joyful News mission people
have been doing most of the shipping
lately. McComb says that personally
he sticks very close to the one question
of the spiritual welfare of sailors but
Rasmussen of the Seamens' Union of
the Pacific is with him, also Mccarthy,
the shipping master whom Turk and
Lewis were yesterday found guilty of
assaulting.
Rasmussen and I work together in
the same place, but not in the same
way" said MCComb HE looks after
the physical and financial welfare of the
sailors. and l look after their spiritual
welfare"

UNFOLDS \ LONG ROMANCE FOR
JUDGE WILCOX.
Fought Filipinos and American, Mar
ried in Manila and Here and Now is
Sent to the Reef.

j. Banito, one of Spain's Manila
heroes, was sentenced to three months
at hard labor this morning for larceny
| IN the second degree. BanitO is one
/ Oh the men who went with the Spanish
! army to fight Filipinos and then for
a few brief weeks, fought Americans.
after which he took passage for home.
| Though he told Judge Wilcox a long
story of love and war with the scenes
laid in Manila, Victoria, Spian, and Ho-
nolulu, and with a steamship love af-
fair in between, his efforts to account
for his possession of some jewelry
claimed by one NJ. j. Borges did not
satisfy the Judge
Banito said he had had the jewelry-
which consisted of a scarf pin and a
baDy S gold ring, for many years.
During the days when he wore a
Spanish uniform and chased Aguinal-
DOS men Banito met a very pretty
young Filipino who had no aversion to
Spaniards. They fell in love and were
welded i'm the Filipino way and when
Banito left the place he left her behind
with baby girl.
! The Filipino wife wouldn't leave her
country, said BanitO, and she wouldn't
: let him take the baby, so all he could
/ do was leave them behind That was
where the baby's ring came in-Banito
bought it as present for the baby
and then came to the conclusion thar
he had better keep it himself as some
thing to remember the child by. The
scarf pin was present from a Ma
Mia friend.
BanitO went with the army to old
Madrid and then he decided to leave
his beaten country and settle in Ho-
nolulu. On steamer was a fair passen-
ger who soon had his heart i'm bonds.
BY the time they had been out eight
days 'vows were exchanged. and the
ring and pm We're handed over to the
woman, to have ana to hold until the
wedding day.
The wedding took place "A year ago in
Honolulu, and since then the ring and
scarf have been i'm seclusion. MIS-. 3a-
nito took the stand and told the same
story as her romantic husband, except
the Manila part, which she didn't know
about
Borges swore that he had teen :.lTen
the pin last Christmas and that the
ring belonged to his baby. An expert
| in jewelry was called, TO tell about the
value of the goods The ring which
| Banito said he had paid SS for was ad-
/ judged worth - cents, though it might
! have been worth $3.50 now The pin
was worth about $1S.
| Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth roasted
the story of love and war. Attorney
Kaulukou wanted the case made a civil
one to decide WHO owned the iewelry.
| Judge Wilcox said the yarn about Ma
Mia wife and baby and the long owner
/ ship of the jewels without showing
| them to anyone We're too much for him,
and the eX-sOldier Of Spain will have

$12 900 or over and to cover this the

KINGS AND QUEENS
UPON THE STAGE

Acting has always had a great fas-
cination for many people, and from the
earliest times plays, representations and
tableaux have been among the faVorite
amusements at courts.
In Germany every little sovereign had
his residence town, with his theater, the
theater being under the special protec-
ton of the sovereign. 1t must be said
that the drama, and, in fact, art, sci
ence and literature, all owe an immense
debt of gratitude to the rulers OF these
small municipalities, who from time i'm
memorial have been the patrons OF
the stage. In some of the more i'm
portant of the European capitals the
theaters were often of great dimen-
sions, n the fittings and all the ar
