Said.

The first permits for connections
with the new sewer system, were
applied for yesterday for the postof-
fee and the Board of Health building,
otherwise known "a the Kapuaiwa
building. The Public Works Depart
ment announced yesterday that. a lin
tied number OF permits would be is

sential TO the health of the City.
There were thirty-one approved of or

amount OF sewage will be turned into
the sewers and which now is emptied
into cesspools. Chinese stores and

run into the mains and will be receiy
/ ed in. the large subterranean vaui

The expense for emptying cesspool
pending the completion OF the down
town section OF the sewer system ma
fallen heavily on many business mel

relief. \ Chinese business man ha
paid out about $50 a month for th
emptying OF cesspool from his pla'

The leakage from the new system
placed at about three per cent and

JOKE ON DETECTIVES
Supposed Burglars Lead Pstroim-n
Merry Chase.

The blowing Of police whistles, cries
Of "Haul in! Haul I'M" and general
cnmmotion on King street between
and o'clock yesterday morning,
caused a general rush OF police toward
the Emmeluth building. a member OF
n detective patrol was met near the
building and he excitedly explained
IN the officers that he had two sup
posed burglars corralled In the back
y,rd OF the Emmeluth premises. The
prospects OF n catch OF this nature i'm
pelled the utmost caution on the part
OF the officers. while the member or
the patrol assumed the leadership or
the quest. The shadowy forms OF the
two supposed housebre1kers could be
seen moving about. and the attack was
made with care.
Suddenly there was a rush and a
bang. and the two shadows disappear
ed over the top OF high board fence
with the officers and members or ths
patrol in hot pursuit. The chase was
merriIy led BY the burglars ant
after breathlessly pursuing the pres
to Hotel street in the vicinity OF tn
Elite building. the leader and his me'
went upstairs and made n search-bu
the shadows had disappeared. IN
dodgers i'm the building objected to Tn
|, noise made in the search, and to one o
the irate persons awakened, the leade
explained that the burglars had ap
, paratus by which they could max
their escape from the seeond-stor
windows. SO the search came to a
+, end.
IL developed later that the "burs
lars" were two special officers In Der
uty Sheriff Chillingworth's Office. VIII
we're on their way home about
O'Clock after doing night work wit

FIGHTING IS ABOUT OVER.
Proclamation of Peace Unnecessary
Railway Question the most Important

London, Sept. 31.-The military i'm
portance OF operations in South Africa
is daily diminishing as the war passes
the transition stage into armed occu-
patton. 1t is not expected fighting will
nenceworth develop beyond patrol col
lisions or brief swoopS by Beers on
garrisons, which Gen. Roberts is
quarterlng at all important centers.
None of the Boer leaders has any in
clination to submit, and with the i'm
provement of the weather in October
there may be renewed activity directed
toward Selling British arms and am
munition conveys. The lack of NUM-
reducing the republican forces.
The British government has an
nounced that, as the Orange Free
State and Transvaal are already an
nexed; there will be no reson at any
time for procliming peace. 1t would
indeed wreck the projected Cancellation
policy if a day were selected which
the jingoes of future years could cele-
brate as kind of Sedan day.
The railway question will remain
the most important one in South At
RIGA so long as big garrison is kept
in the Transvaal. Both toward Cape
Town and toward Natl there is only
a single track, along which all NUM-
lions and supplies must be brought
The country is utterly unable to feed
the industrial population of the Rand,
much less the military population,
which must always be supplied with
big reserve stores in view of a sudden
resumption of fighting.

Stricken in the Pulpit.

New York, Sept 3O.-Rev. DR.. Gill
bert H. Gregory, 60 years old, died
today in the presence of his congre-
cation at the morning service in St.
Stephens Church, Marble Hill, at the
north end of Manhattan Island.
Physicians had urged DR.. Gregory to
retire from active work, as he had
long been a sufferer from heart trou-
BILE. They told him that he might live
for years if he would cease labor, but
if he continued to work he was liable
to be stricken at any moment.
DR.. Gregory had not preached in
st. Stephens for three Sundays, on &C
count of heart attack, but when word
was passed around that he would re-
sumo his duties today the church was
filled.
The service had progressed to the
singing of hymn which preceded the
sermon. DR.. Gregory arose and read
three verses of the hymn, beginning:
Love divine, all love eXcelling."
While the music of the anthem filled
the church DR.. Gregory was noticed tC
seat himself and then fall limp ovel
one of the arms of the chair.
Members of the congregation went
to his assistance and two physicians
who happened to be passing the church
were called in. They saw at once that
the minister was beyon human aid anG
in five minutes from the time he was
stricken, DR.. Gregory was dead.

New York Policeman Wins in a Thrilling
Encounter With Theft.

New York.-James Keenan,, manager
of the Avon, an exclusive apartment
house at One Hundred and Sixteenth
street mad Madison avenue, was awak-
ened this morning by a noise on the
fire-escape. Looking out ne saw a
man climbing the ladder. Policeman
Morrison was called. He climed up
the stone trimmings of the building
fifteen feet to the fire escape. 1t was
a perilous feat. The man on the fire
escape saw him coming and made for
the roof. The building is seven stor-
les high and towers above those ad.
joining.
The fugitive saw the roof afforded
him no chance to get away and he de-
termined to fight for it. He lay in
wait on the top floor above the fire
escape until Morrison's head showed
above the ladder. Then he kicked
vigorously at him. Morrison antici-
pated such a move and seized the fell
lows legs and then the fight began
The platform of the fire escape is only
3x4 feet and on this the men clinched
and struggled, and it looked to Keen
an, down below, as if both would fall
either down through the opening OF
over the railing into the court
The thief fought vigorously for ter
minutes, but Morrison, getting a gri[
on his throat, forced him to his knees
and then dubbed him until he gave
in.

Galveston funds.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 30.-Regarding
the contributions Ior the Galveston
sufferers, Gov. Savers today gave out
the following statement:
The amount of money received by
me up to noon September 80, for the
benent OF the storm sufferers, is $672,-
416.29. This sum includes $3S52.59 that
remained IN my hands of the fund
contributed for the relief of the Bra
EOS River Valley sufferers sufferers last
year. 1t also includes all drafts and
authorizations to draw, and which are
in transit and yet uncollected.
This statement, it must be borne in
mind, embraces only moneys and re-
mittances that have been made to me
directly, and also amounts for which
1 have been authorized to draw.
During the present week 1 will sub
init to the people of the United States
full, complete itemized statement of
the moneys that have come to my
hands, giving the name and source of
each contribution, and also the man
ner in which the sum in total re-
ceived by me has been expended and
distributed.
Every portion of the storm district
is being provided for

A Long Stride Toward Peace.

Washington, Sept. 29.-China has
taken one long stride toward peace.
Consul-General Goodnow tonight ca
bled the State Department that Prince
Tuan has been deposed from his Off
cial station, deprived of his salary and
official servants, and ordered to ap-
pear before the grand Chinese court
for trial on charges which the Chinese
government will present against him.
This news, if it proves to be true,
will help to bring all nations into line
upon the Chinese policy. Consul Good
now does not say what salary Tuan
has had taken from him. He drew
a salary as prince and presumably
another salary as head of the Grand
Council, which was charged with peace
negotiations with the powers. He may
have lost either job, or both; anyway,
this step, if taken, means that China
will at least make pretense of pun
ishing the Boxer leaders, among which
Prince Tuan was notorious, and that
will likely help matters somewhat.

FOUGHT OFF A MADMAN.
Asylum Guard Beaten and Chewed.

Stockton, Sept. 29.-Peter Martin, an
attendant at the State Hospital, was
nearly killed about 9 o'clock last even
ing by patient named Carlton Stowe,
who beat him over the head with the
heavy buckle of a restraining strap,
after which he bit a piece out of his
ear, another piece of flesh from his
eyebrow, and also chewed one of his
fingers nearly off. Martin was terribly
beaten by the frantic lunatic before he
finally got the better of the mailman.
Today Martin is in bed, under the
care of the medical staff as a result
of the injuries he received.
Stowe was committed to the hospital
from Eldorado county in May, 1895,
and is large and powerful man. He
is delusional, and believes that he is
being pursued and that electricity is
being tried upon him. His attack
upon Martin was due to the fact that
he thought Martin could discharge him
from the hospital, but refused to dc
so.
