CLAIMS FOR SALVAGE.

ed to Put in Their Bills.

1t Is now considered probable that
the wreck Of the bark William Carson
will be saved, as nothing but hard
wind will prevent her being towed to
spot where the coal can be extracted
from the hold. Since this Is the case,
the question OF salvage is being pretty
generally discussed along the water
front, and particularly by the owners
of the steamers which have been
standing by the wreck with more or
less constancy.
The Wilder steamer Lehua has had a
line fast to the submerged wreck al
most ever since she was found, sixteen
miles off Diamond Head, last Friday
morning, following her collision with
the steamer Claudlne. At the same
time credit for finding the wreck is
claimed by the tug Eleu, and n claim
for salvage will of course be filed by
her owners.
The steamer Maui has also been as
ssting in holding the wreck. But ii
appears that the United States Govern
ment tug Iroquois also had a hand in
the matter, which will be looked after
by the proper authorities, II there Is
any salvage to be obtained. There are
points in the case that will no doubt
he hard nuts to crack by the courts,
and some time will ensue before the
matter is finally settled,

important Matters are
Discussed.
Last Appropriation Bill viii Allow
Improvements to
Continue.
CFrom Thursdays Daily.)

The Executive Council held an i'm
portant meeting yesterday morning
President Dole and all the members of
the Cabinet being present, except At
torney General Cooper, whose duties as
president of the Board of Health de-
manded his close attention.
There was some discussion of the
holding of the two Offices by Minister
Cooper and there is likelihood that
they will be separated and recon-
mendation to that effect will be for
warded to Washington in the hope
that the new arrangement will be
covered in the form of government to
be adopted for the Hawaiian Islands.
Minister Cooper is of course 10 be con-
suited about the proposed separation
of the offices.
The statement having been made
that an insufficient amount of official
news from Washington is given to the
public, and the statement, also, that
too much Is given out, the Council dis
cussed the matter, but arrived at no
definite conclusion. 1t was, however,
decided that national matters of gen.
eral interest should be made public,
luIS uOto IiOl wi
spondence on matters still pending,
nor concerning individuals.
The subject of appropriations follow
ing the biennial period ending Janu-
AIRY !, 1900, was an important matter
discussed by the Cabinet. 1t was final
ly decided that the law allows the same
rate TO be continued until another ap-
preparation is made. Touching upon
this question the Pail road was cited
as an example where an appropriation
was needed. The previous appropria
ton of 100000 for the work has been
expended, though the road is still in an
unfinished condition. The provisions
OF the appropriation bill from current
receipts, the Council decided, was real
ly now appropriation of the same
amounts for the new biennial period,
pending action by the Legislature. Not
only the Pail road, but other necessary
improvements may, under the decision
of the Council, be continued,

The notorious leader of the Infamous
BLACK Jacks gang OF train robbers
and murderers, Tom ketchum, is now
in the penitentiary at Santa Fe, y. M.
Tom held up train single-handed ana
In the sequel TO this was wounded and
captured.
1t was the Colorado Southern express
that Tom held up. The place selected
was near Folsom, on the northeast
corner of New Mexico. One night as
the express was putting laboriously up
grade the engineer saw a light ahead
giving the signal to stop. When the
train slowed down Tom Ketchum
jumped into the cab and, carelessly
swinging a As Colt near the engineers
nose, told him to obey all orders given
during the next few minutes. This,
Tom said, would save heartaches in the
engineers home and the intrusion of an
undertaken in the family circle. Then
he jumped off and tried TO uncouple the
engine, which was made impossible by
the steep grade. Failing in this, Tom
walked back to- the Welsh Fargo ex
press car and, humping the door with
the butt of his Colt, demanded admit
lance. The messenger opened the door
and poked the muzzle OF a Winchester
out into the dark and pulled the trigger.
That put an end to the hold-up that
night. Just how badly Tom was shot
Is not known, for he was wounded in
subsequent battle with United States
Marshal Foraker's posse and he will
not say how much damage the messen-
ger did. AS he declared the hold-up off
II is probable he WAS severely injured.
The express pulled on and Tom jumped
his broncho and sought safety in the
mountains.
The attempted robbery was soon
known to the officials. and three days
later Marshal Foraker's men were
hunting for Tom in the uplands. They
finally hit the trail and followed it back
into the very heart OF the mountains.
Here they lost 1t and while discussing
the best move a report of a rifle split
