.EUNG IS STILL MOVING
YOUNG REFORMER GONE TO
AUSTRALIA TO RAISE MONEY.
After Short Conference With Other
Leaders in Toxic He Started on Octo-
Der goth.

While DR.. Sun Vat Sen and his de-
voted army of 10000 reformers are bat
tling for supremacy in the Yangtse
valley and Lam Sal the former secre-
tary of the local Bow Wongs is risk
ing death in Hongkong by working to
advance the principles of the reform
party, Leung Chi-tso the young leader
is Fastening to Australia as fast as
steamship will carry him. Leung is
not lying through cowardice though
for he is regarded as a brave man by
his followers, although he has not taxi
en- very prominent part in their actu-
al war campaigns. While the young
man might inspire his followers
in the ranks to deeds of heroism, his
long suit appears to be in raising the
wind, so he has been dispatched to the
Colonies to produce the sinews of war.
Leung fully justifies the high opinion
held of his abilities as a money pro-
ducer. His career in Honolulu demon
strated this fact for he induced the
leading Chinese to produce from $780,
900 to 100000 to forward the aims of
the reform party. Inasmuch as there
are large number of Chinese in Aus
tralia who have experienced the bene-
fits of and come into daily contact with
the western civilization which Leung
and the other reform leaders seek to in
augurate, it is evidently thought that
their sympathies can be enlisted as
were those of the enlightened Chinese
of Honolulu and various cities on the
Mainland.
The young reformer left here with
a good sized sum, raised by the reform
ers The first reliable information con-
cerning him was received by the Doric
last week when Lam Sal wrote that
Leung had left Tien Tsn for Toxic on
the 18th of October. In a subsequent
letter which was delayed in delivery
the reform people were informed by
correspondent in Toxic that Leung
had not remained in the japanese capt.
tai but after a short consultation with
other leaders of his party, it was de-
cided that he should proceed at once to
Australia and inaugurate a campaign
of money raising to boost. the cause.

Attorney General e. p. Dole today
submitted to A. Il. Atkinson, superin-
tendent of public instruction, an opiu-
ion in regard to a contract for books
with the American Book Company in
which he rules that the bureau has no.
authority to make such contract When
the matter came up before the COM
missioners Mr.. Atkinson suggested that
the question of whether the contract
would be binding upon the SUCCESSORS
of the department in office be referred
to the attorney general for an opinion.
After referring to the letter of Mr.
Gum. making the proposal, and the
law on the subject, the attorney gen.
eral says in reply:
1t seems to me that the law requires
the department to do a book business
selling at cost to the patrons of the
public schools; and permits it to do a
book business, selling at cost with in
terest on the investment added. o pa
irons of private schools.
Mr. Gum, in his letter, says: Your
honorable Board will have the privilege
at any time of selecting any books
from our catalogue that they may wish
to have used in the public schools of
the Territory" The existing contract
provides that Said Board of Educa-
ton shall, during the five years next
Following the execution thereof pur-
chase from the said American Book Co.

schools of the Hawaiian Islands,"
Under our form of government the
people are the only source of power,
and an executive department has only
such powers as have been given to it
expressly and by reasonable implica-
tion. Section 113 of the Civil Laws
of 1897 provided that: The Department.
tof Public instruction shall have en-
tire charge and control and be respon-
sible for the conduct of all affairs ap-
pertaining to public instruction" (
seriously question whether these pow
ers, great as they are, authorize a
contract under which, for the term of
five years, all books required for use
in the public schools of this Territory
must be purchased from a single con-
cern, instead of in free and open mar
ket, regardless of relative price, value,
or adaptability to local needs. A con-
tract lettering a governmental depart
ment to this extent is so contrary to
the spirit of our institutions that to SuS-

in Future.

Every piece of washed out track has
been replaced on the railroad and the
line is now clear from Honolulu to Ka-
huku. The trains were run on regular

is being hauled as usual.
The railroad people are determined to

SECRETARY GAGE WRITES ABOUT
CUSTOMS DUTIES.
Suggests Payment of Duties Through
Agents in San Francisco-Some other
Important Correspondence.

Secretary Gage, of the treasury de-
partment has suggested to Governor
Dole way that customs duties may be
paid so that the coin used may not
leave the country In a letter received
by the Zealandia he says that duties on
imports may be paid in San Francisco
and the receipts accepted here by the
local collector of customs. Nearly or
quite all of the importers of European
goods, which are dutiable, have agents
in San Francisco and always have
money coming from that side BY sim
ply sending their invoices over there
and having the agents pay the duties
the matter will be squared. The scheme
will result in only the duties on Orient
al and Australian merchandise having
to be sent away. 1t may be remarked
in this connection that the bulk of du-
table imports come from Europe and
that ample time elapses between the re-
ceipt of invoices and the arrival of the
goods to effect this payment of charges.
The acting secretary of the interior
wrote that the list of land transfers
made between July Z, 1885, and Septem-
Der 2S, 1899 had been referred to the
President for his personal consideration
This was in reply to a letter of the
governor on the subject.
In reply to another letter of COVER
nor Dole in regard to the disposition of
Hawaiian silver coin, Secretary Hitch
cock wrote that the matter had been
referred to the secretary of the trea-
Sury.
Some time ago Mr.. Dole called atten-
ton to the clause of the annexation re-
solution which provided that Hawaii
should receive the receipts from the
customs department so long as it paid
the interest on the public debt He
asked the Interior department what
should be done, suggesting that if Ha-
wall continued the payment it should
receive the customs duties or at least
enough to pay this interest The mat
ter was also referred to the secretary
of the treasury.

THE FANCY TEA.

In round figures $3.50 was realized
from the fancy tea of the ladies of St.

noon. The affair was a gratifying sue

more so had the condition of the streets
been better. Much credit is due the
ladies of the committee for their effort
and they in. turn feel grateful to the
community for the very generous pat
ronage of the entertainment.

DAMM1NG UP NUUANU STREAM.
Original Scheme to Carry Sewer Line
Across River.

The last week passersby over the
King street bridge have noticed a
trough like structure in the Nuuanu
stream makai of the viaduct. gang
of men have been busy at work pump
ing the water out of this trough This
structure is incidental to the bringing
the sewer line across the stream.
The pipe line rests on the bottom OF
the stream. Ordinarily divers would
been detailed to do this work but as
this would have been very expensive
Engineer Edwards conceived the pres
ent plan by which he builds the trough
two thirds across the stream, makes
the trough water tight and them pumps
out the water With the water reduced
the work of laying the line of pipe is
begun.
Only two thirds of the width of the
stream has been damned by the trough
for if the line of boards had been placed
clear across it would have resulted in
the stream being damned up and over
flowing onto the workmen. AS soon as
the present section will have been laid
the trough will be built from the Wal
kiki side and the connection made. The
work will occupy several weeks.

partly because of the intermittent nature
of employment. Men often got but two or
three days employment in the week, and
many had no employment whatever. In
fact, the conditions were about as dis
heartening as they could be. Mr.. Bryan
said the panacea was the coinage of the
bullion of the silver mine-owners into dol
lars, thus doubling its commercial value.
Major Mckinley said: "Open the mills and
not the mints." Everybody knows what
followed. Major Mckinley was elected, and
he has proved to be in fact the advance
agent of prosperity. The mills started up,
the railroads had larger trains and en-
ployed more men. and employment offered
on every hand. Soon the disheartened man
ceased to pursue the elusive job, because
the eager job pursued the man. A change
for the better has come over the whole
country. What is stated in the text be-
came general fact.
And now the hundreds Of thousand. of
men who have been benefited by the i'm
proved conditions, the larger employment
and the better wages are invited to vote
for Mr.. Bryan, whose remedy in 1896 would
have plunged the country into disaster and
distress. Are these hundreds of thousands
OF men weary of good times, that they
would go back to the conditions of 1894, 1895
and 1896? The Indications are that the
hundreds of thousands OF sensible Amer
lean citizens will not commit hara-kiri by
voting for Mr.. Bryan, the leader of the
party of destruction.

TERRELL IS BREAKING
SLAYER OF MESSENGER LANE ON
THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE.
His Fiancce. on the Stand, Relates the
story of Their RcIations-Other
Testimony of the Day.

MARYSVILLE, o., Oct. 19.-When Ross
well Terrell entered the courtroom, where
his trial on the charge of numbering Elk
press Messenger Lane is in progress, this
morning, there was an absence of his usual
self-confident air. He kept his eyes on the
floor instead of posing in a heroic attitude.
His countenance is beginning to take on a
haggard look and the strain is fast ex-
hausting his nerve. The prisoners be-
trothed has declared her faith in him and
expresses confidence in his acquittal
Mrs Ella Smiley was the first witness
called this morning. She identified Terrell
as the man who stayed at the hotel in
Plain City the night of the murder. She
testified that she furnished the string with
which the package expressed to New York
was tied.

next gave testimony as to unimportant de-
tails in connection with the finding andJr
moval of Lanes body.
Miss Lillian Costlow, who was engaged
to marry Terrell. was placed on the stand
this afternoon. Although quite nervous.
she did not at any time lose her compo-
sure. She hesitated at times, but it was
evidently the result of her desire to be ex-
plicit and positive, rather than to evade
the questions. She said she became en-
gagged to Terrell in December, 1899, and
that shortly after the date for the wedding
had been fixed for Aug. Is last. She told
of the preparations for the wedding and
of the money Terrell gave~her TO keep for
him. the day following the train robbery.
She said Terrell told her that he had
drawn il from building and loan associa-
ton, and that it represented his savings.
She did not know the amount of the mon
ey. She also told the story of Ferrells ar
rest at her home on Sunday, two days after
the robbery.
Terrell was taken sick in the Jail to-
night and physician attended him. He
is apparently weakening. and it is feared
he will have a nervous collapse
