Officers and members of the Plan
ters' Association deny emphatically
that they have instructed their repre-
sentative at Washington, William Hay
wood, to work for the disfranchisement
of the native Hawaiian, or in any way
to limit the suffrage as it is given by
the Territorial Act Nor is there any
movement on foot on the part of the
Association or its members, to attempt
any such thing.
"The statement that any such effort
is to be made" said j. B. Atherton
this morning, "is absolutely untrue in
every particular. The Planters Asso-
citation has done nothing of the kind,
and has never thought of or contem-
plated doing anything of the kind. I
know also that the merchants of the
Islands have done nothing of the kind,
or thought of doing anything of the
kind. The assertion is wholly without
foundation, and false in every parti-
cular."
Other members of the Planters Asso-
citation including President Schaefer
deny the story with equal emphasis.

peal from the decision of the Territorial
Supreme court to the Circuit court of
Appeals, Ninth Circuit against a decree
of the Territorial Circuit Judge award
ing $4,000 damages for the wreck OF the

of bond to stay execution of Judgment
of the Territorial courts in order to
bring up the appeal at San Francisco.
Justice Frear promptly denied the mo-
ton. The opinion of the Supreme court
is that there is not an appeal at all, the
case being legacy of the late Republic
and having been decided to the extent
of decree by the Circuit Judge on May
T. over a month prior to the establish
ment of the new order

SHRNERS ARE HOME AGAIN
THE ZEALANDIA GREETED WITH
AN OVATION.
The Pilgrims Enthusiastic in their
Praise of the Islands and Hilo-What
they Say About their Trip.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 3.-The
steamship Zealandia glided into San
Francisco harbor yesterday forenoon
an hour after a hundred waterfront
whistles and sirens had screamed a
prolonged and noisy warning of her
approach with the party Of 1876 Mystic
Shriners returning from the three
weeks pleasure trip to the Hawaiian
islands. While the Zealandia was ap-
preaching port friends and relatives of
the pilgrims boarded the excursion fer
ry steamer Caroline and went out to
give their greetings.
off the Presidio the Quarantine Of
ficers quickly performed the formality
OF pronounCing the shipload free from
contagton. few moments later the
stern wheeler Rosalie with some shrin-
ers aboard churned in close to the big
vessel and shouts of greeting passed be-
tween them. Opposite Black Point the
Caroline drew near.
At the jackson street pier another
crowd that had come too late for the
Caroline re-enfOrced the general recep-
ton committee and made the roof re-
sound with shouting directed toward
the Iealandia as she slowly swung
alongside.
Before the gangplank could be made
fast there was a joyous rush of botn
crowds to get together and for half an
hour quarter of an acre of good wharf
space was devoted to greetings.
What the Shriners saw and the way
they were received will be a pleasant
topic for conversation for many DAYS.
AS b, ID. Pike expressed it, IF any of us
could live long enough to forget the
beautiful Hawaiian Islands and our trim
we would still remeber Hilo and its
delightful people, There were feas.s
and serenades and yacht rides and
drives to the great volcano and to sugar
plantations, and railroad excursions and
receptions and dances. There was also
an open-air luau in Prince David's
grounds in Honolulu with seats for 5m,
people. The loads of gorgeous floral
wreaths and the tremendous crowds at
their final departure were also things
that made the visit a joy in a tropical
paradise.

JUDGE ESIEE MORALEES
DISCUSSES EFFECT OF CHINESE
IMMIGRATION.
While Exclusion Laws Seem Detrimen-
tai to Sugar Industry, Permanent
Results Would be Satisfactory.

In deciding the case of Wong Chong.
VINO had applied for the writ of
habeas corpus to admit him into the
country against the ruling of the col
lector OF customs, Judge Estee moral
lied interestingly on the reasons for
having exclusion laws and the eventual
effect of those laws upon this Terri
tory and its interests. Following were
the observations made at that time;
1t is historically true that the sup
ply of Chinese laborers is unlimited
in number and that it's continued and
unrestrained immigration into the
United States tends to crowd out free
American labor from following it's usu-
al pursuits and thus decreases the de-
mand for and lowers the value of such
labor. Chinese laborers come to Ameri-
ca to work only (being better paid here
than in their own country and not to
become a part of the body politic they
rarely bring their families with them
or encourage American home life they
are always Cinnamon in America and
not Americans; they live apart here as
in China. The presence of such a peo-
pie tends to create class and racial
distinctions, and tends also to lower
the standard of American manhood by
placing beside them, competing in the
field of labor, a different race of men
who know nothing of free institutions
and only seek our shores for a tenn
porary advantage -.
THE fact that most of the capital
and the larger part of the labor OF
these Islands are engaged in the pro
duction of sugar cane has created 8
demand for cheap labor, and the ma
tional Chinese exclusion acts, while
they may seem in conflict with the
monetary interests of the Territory OF
Hawaii, will yet be of permanent ad'
vantage to the people of the Territory
by encouraging local and American
labor These laws were inspired by q
regard for the good of the American
people as a whole, of which the citizens
of this Territory now form a part"

CHINESE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAO
TING FLU MASSACkES.
Plan of the Powers to Depose the Chi
nese Empress-Ministers at Peklng in
Full Accord.

NEW YORK, November "A cable
to the Sun from Peking says: General
Gaselee who commanded the allied eX-
pedition to Pao Ting Flu, has returned
here. He brought a report from the in
+ ternational commission presided over
by General Bailloud, second in COM
, mand of the French forces in China.
| The commission was appointed to ascer-
! tain which Chinese officials in Pao Ting
Flu were responsible for the murder OF
missionaries and converts there. 1t
was found that the Taota' or Governor
the Fantai or Provincial Treasurer and
Neotai or Neihtai, or Judge, who are in
custody, are guilty and they were con-
demned to death. The report of the
commission has been referred TO the
allied forces, who will undoubtedly APP
prove the findings and sentence.
General Gaselee reports that the allies
at Poa Ting Flu have destroyed the
temple where the missionaries and
others were imprisoned prior to eXecu-
tiOn. They have also destroyed the city
wall and gate near the place of execu-
ton and burned the towers, thus dis
gracing the city. The commission had
not adjourned when General GaseIee
left. The Chinese imperial troops are
assisting the French in guarding the
gates. The Germans are returning to
| Peking via the great wall. The other
allied troops will all return here with
| the exceptions of a small garrison which
will be maintained at Pao Ting Flu

STR|CI[R THAN THE LAWS
STEAMSHIP COMPANY MAKES
STRANGE RULE.
An Order Regarding Carrying of Dis
patches that Outdoes Even the Fede-
raj Regulations.

A rule of extraordinary strictness re-
garding the carrying of letters and dis
patches by pursers of steamers from
San Francisco went into effect just be-
fore the departure of the steamship
Gaelic. 1t absolutely prohibits pur-
ser from carrying a dispatch in a
stamped envelope, or newspaper, or
even from giving away at Honolulu a
newspaper of his own which he has
carried here. The rule is stricter than
the Federal laws.
Local newspapermen are the principal
sufferers from this rule, which compels
the sending of all matter, including
newspapers, through the mail. The gen.
eral public is equally deprived of a
great convenience, however, for occa-
sion often requires the sending of a
dispatch more quickly than it can be
sent through the mail. The public of
Honolulu is also deprived of the oppor-
tunity Of hearing any news from the
mainland until the post office has pass
ed the bundles of San Francisco files.
The effort to make Honolulu walt for
news and to prevent Honolulu citizens
from getting dispatches except through
the mails appears to be due to the San
Francisco News Company's desire to
sell more newspapers on the streets of
Honolulu.
The order just issued is said to have
been given at the instance of the News
Company. The dispatches and papers
have to be considered as freight" be-
fore such a rule can apply and 1t is
stated that the foreign steamers were
accused of carrying freight between
Honolulu and San Francisco.
The rule against dispatches is clearly
contrary to section 6S5 of the postal
laws. Section 6S5 provides that letters
enclosed in stamped envelopes may be
sent otherwise than by mail, if the en-
Velope be sealed so that the letter can
not be taken therefrom without de-
| facing the envelope. This refers to
ready stamped government envelopes.
The date of the letter or of the trans
| mission or receipt thereof must be writ
ten on the letter.
The motive of the new rule is. clear
lv shown by the fact that it is only
made to apply one way. Neither Collec-
tor of Customs Stackable, Postmaster
General Oat nor Hackfeld and Company
have received any order that pursers of
the foreign steamers may not continue
| to carry dispatches from Honolulu to
| San Francisco as heretofore, the rules
for which are precisely the same as the
| other way. The business of the San
Francisco News Company is not effect
ed however. by the east bound letters
! and dispatches
| When the Gaelic arrived this morning
there We're a number of people after
purser Brown to get expected dispatch
es. He informed them of the new rules
| and all had to wait for the mail The
order, as far as letters in stamped en-
velopes is concerned deprives the public
of privilege that is especially granted
and clearly defined by the United States
postal regulations.
1t is said that the Togo Kisen Kaisha
| company has made the same rule as the
| Occidental and Oriental, at the News
| Company's request

HIGH GALE IS BLOWING
EXPERIENCING THE TAIL END OF
MARINE CYCLONE.
No Big Damage reported from Effects
of Storm-Number of Trees Blown
Down-Rain Predicted.

The wind storm which has been blow
ing for the last two days is the rear end
of a cyclonic disturbance. The main
body of the storm has passed the island
and is thought by Professor Lyons Of
the weather bureau to be moving to-
ward the American coast.
While the storm has been very dis
agreeable, it has not been more than a
moderate gale, blowing at the rate of
about 40 miles an hour, a wind which
would not be regarded as extraordinary
by sailors. These cyclonic disturbances
of the Pacific occur very frequently at
this time of the year. The storm starts
on the Asiatic coast and moves east
ward toward the American coast. When
the storm comes south and reaches Ho-
nolulu 1t is calleda kona. At other times
it misses the islands entirely and con-
tinues toward the Mainland. The or
bit of the storm is circular and as the
wind revolves in an opposite direction
from that of the sun when the west end
of the storm reaches here it comes as
a north wind as in the present case.
Such a condition is produced similarly
by the "northers'' in the Gulf of Mexico.
Some times after there has been a
heavy blow from this direction the wind
shifts around and comes from the south
for several days.
The storm has continued throughout
today and there appears 10 signs of its
abating. In addition 20 the high Velo-
city the storm is accompan ed by an
unusually low dew point the register
marking 50 this morning. This pres1ges
a heavy rain storm within the course
of the next week. This low dew point
is also the reason for the crisp and Bit
ing sensation in the air for the Tempe
nature is not low.
No great damage was caused about
the city by the storm. A number of
trees were torn up at Waikiki and other
sections. Over at the Jail big algeroba
tree was blown down but no body was
hurt. The streets and yards through
out the town were strewn with twigs
branches and dust. Road Superinten-
dent Campbell awoke this morning to
find that the mud would not bother him
for while but the other extreme would
add to his annoyances. The fence and
several outhouSeS at the quarantine
station were blown down by the wind.
Two tugs were required this morning
to dock the steamship Gaelic at the
Oceanic wharf. Two transports were at
the Mail wharf in the Gaelic's place.
When the steamer came up the harboI
gale of wind was blowing off shore
and the Fearless was scarcely able to
move her for a time. The Spreckels
tug was slowly doing the work, but as
the Eleu appeared on the scene help
was called for. The Fearless pushed
while the Eleu pulled and the steamer
came around.
Along the front clouds of dust were
sweeping along the wharves all day,
making walking very difficult The es-
planade was a place to avoid, except
for those who had guards on their eyes
In the harbor all the vessels strained al
their mooringS, as did those at the
docks, but there was no damage.

Chinese DID NOT LAND
CAPTAIN WINSLOW IN DEWEYS'
FOOTSTEPS.
He Appeals Like the Admiral in Behalf
of His Mongolian Crew and with the
Same Result.

Captain Herbert Winslow of the navy
transport Solace has gone up against
the law that Admiral Dewey encounter
ed at New York, regarding the landing
of Chinese, and with the same result
The admiral put up as good a fight as
he did in Manila, but he found it harder
to fight the treasury department than to
do up Spaniards, and he had to give it
up.
The SOlace has a lot of Chinese in. her
crew and Captain Winslow wanted to
let them go ashore here. A custom
house inspector kept his eagle eye on
the gangway and sent the pig-tailed
men back as fast as they tried to come.
The naval commander waxed quite
wroth when he heard of it and for a
time it looked like war between the ma
Wy and the treasury department but the
custom house man held his ground and
when an appeal was made to Collector
Stackable he pointed to the law, which
does not allow any more leeWay than a
sum in addition. The Chinese of the
Solace, therefore, did not have chance
to while away any time on shore, and
| they have to see what they can of the
city from the port holes of the Solace.
Admiral Dewey's Chinese had taken
part in the battle of Manila and were
supposed to be heroes. Congress had
voted medals to some of them The ad-
their good work under fire, and he
thought that no custom house could be
so heartless as to refuse them a jaunt
on shore at New York.
! The custom house did refuse it, how
ever, under the cast iron provisions OF
the Geary act, and the matter was ap-
pealed to the treasury department al
! Washington. The reply from headquar.
ters sustained the New York rule and
the Chinese did not land.
Some of the Chinese on the Solace are
from the Pacific coast but others are
from the orient and there rs no way
under the law by which any of then
can land except under heavy bonds
given by officers on the ship, that they
Will return before she leaves. The of.
ficers are all confident that the men will
return If they are allowed ashore, bu
at the same time they have not put VI
many thousand dollar bonds to thai

The TROUBLE IS LOCATED
EXPERT GRAY AND THE WIRE
LESS TELEGRAPHY.
Ground Wires at stations do not Reach
to Water-A Simple Defect-wm be
Remedied at Once.

1t took Expert Gray, Mareoni's right
hand man, just ten minuteS to find OUT
the trouble with the local Wireless teIe-
graphy system. The faulf was the
simplest thing i'm the world 1t was
plain that the upper part 81 the works
were in good order, except that the
stations had been located on hills when
they should have been in the valleys to
get the best results. The cause of fai-
lure was then to be looked for under.
ground and it was there that the ex-
pert located it. 1t was found that the
ground wire at Kaimuki did not reach
water at all but terminated in the dry
earth of the hill.
Mr.. Gray has started in with energy
to straighten this out. He believes that
there is the same fault with the station
on Molokai as that island can not COM
municate with Lanai, although the lat
ter station is on good order. On We'd
nesday Mr.. Gray sent his assistants to
Molokai with explicit instructions as to
the ground wire and how to fix it.
While not publicly expressing It, Mr..
Gray felt a great deal of surprise that
the men sent out from New York should
nave made such simple error and not
detected it. He also expressed surprise
that the stations were located on high
nils, where the wind is strong and it is
unpleasant in place of in the low lands
which are better in every respect
The chief expert will not express any
opinion as to when he will have the
system in working order All he will
say is that it will be a perfect success.
Like Marconi he thinks the Hawaiian
Islands present as fine field for the per-
feet adaptation of the system as there
is in the world.

BURGLARY AGAIN.
Store at South and King Streets
Entered.

Another burglary was attempted last
night. This time it was at South and
King streets, at the store of the Wash
ington Mercantile company. A window
was opened and entered and a safe
broken open, but there was no cash
inside. The burglar opened a can of
fruit and found some crackers and ap-
pears to have enjoyed refreshments be-
fore he left the place.
The safe breaking was done with a
hammer and chisel. Footprints on the
floor, made with bare feet, show that
the burglar wore no shoes. He is
thought to have been a native.
