UNIQUE coURTsHIP.

There is something very comic ac-
cording to our notions in the way a
Boer manages his love-malSing. Hav-
ing asked the permission of his father
to court certain damsel in the neigh
borhood-by that is meant anywhere
within about fifty miles-he proceeds
to purchase the most strikingly deco
rated and loudly colored saddle-cloth
for his steed that he can possibly OBJ
tain. He will very likely spend large
sum of money on this, for it is a spe-
cial occasion, and no one knowing the
country and the habits of the people
will have the least doubt from the
appearance of his horse that he is in
quest of bride.

Delivered Addresses at a Number Of
Places, and Report Satisfactory Pro-
gress for Home Rule Party.

r. w. Wilcox, ]. X. Kaulia and Ka-
lauokalani returned Sunday from two
weeks trip to Kauai in the interests of
the Home Rule party. They report that
the natives received them with much
enthusiasm, and the outlook was very
favorable for their organization. The
party left on July 2, and landed at Wall
mea. They addressed a crowd of peo-
pie in the evening, and the following
night held another meeting at KOloa.
Two days were passed at this place,
after which the trio journied to Ka-
paa. The following evening speeches
were made at Hanalei. The party re-
manned several days at this place, and
returned to Hanamaulu, where they re-
mained until last Saturday, when they
started home.
The speakers appeared well satisfied
over the result of their trip. There
were good sized crowds at every meet
ing, they say, and they expressed con-
fidence that many converts were made
to the party 1t was at Hanalei that
the elargest percentage of natives
greeted the speakers as the majority
of the residents at that place are Ha-
waiians. Many white people attended
the other meetings, according to the
speaker, they expressed themselves as
being well pleased with the purposes
of the Home Rule party.

THE JAPANESE MINISTER LITTLE TAKES THE BIT.I
REPRESENTATIVE TO AMERICA
HERE.
japanese Take the Opportunity to See
Him About Chinatown Fire Claims
and Labor Troubles.

X. Takahira, Japanese Minister Plen-
ipotentiary to the United States, arriv-
ed here this morning on the America
Maru, and will leave this evening for
San Francisco, en- route to Washington.
He will take with him a loud kick from
who have wish to reach the ear of the
Washington government on the subject
of their losses by the Chinatown plague
fire of January 20.
Mr.. Takahira has been the vice min
lister of foreign affairs in Japan for
about year. under the present gov
ernment, and is one of the highest offic-
ials of the Japanese diplomatic service.
He was the Japanese ambassador at
Rome for some years, and before hold
ing that post he was consul general at
New York. He is now going to be the
head representative of his government
at Washington.
This afternoon the diplomat had a
conference with a number of local Jap
anese merchants who asked for hear
ing with him. One of the principal sub
jects of the discussion was the loss
sustained by japanese in the fire that
swept the old Chinatown away. Since
the court of claims was knocked out
there has been little movement in the
matter of Japanese and Chinese claims,
and the local merchants of Japanese
nationality hope now that they have
got the ear of so high a representa-
tive as Takahira they will get their
kick to President Mckinley. They
were in conference with him for over
an hour.
Takahira is accompanied by his wife.
He was the guest of Consul Mkt SaitO
today. Though he is fresh from the
scenes of turmoil in the far east Ia
kahira seems to know little more about
the situation than is contained in the
press dispatches His position as a
diplomat makes him very careful about
expressing opinions, and reliable re-
ports are scarce in all quarters.
Takahira is also investigating the
labor situation here. Various re-
ports about the treatment of contract
and other Japanese laborers have
reached the japanese government, and
it was made a part of the minister's
duty to stop at Honolulu and look in
to the matter.

Nucleus of Double Track on King street
Started When Government Takes a
Little Hand.

The Hawaiian Tramways Company
began work this morning again on what
may eventually be a part of its double
track. This is the strip of track rum
ming from the switch between the gov
ernment buildings to a point opposite
the old Gullick premises. 1t was at the
town end Of this line that Mr.. Pain
and his woFkmen were arrested some
months ago. 1t was there, also, that
the clash came between the Tramways
people and the Rapid Transit Compa-
ny, resulting in both ceasing opera
tions.
With the decision of the court on
Saturday in favor of Manager Pain Gin
the matter of his arrest for disobeying
the orders of the Minister of the In
terior) there appeared nothing In the
way of work starting up again. So
early in the forenoon the foreman and
a gang of Cinnamon We're set to work.
They are putting in a switch on the
main line with a view to connecting the
second track with it. When work on
the straight double track begins it is
calculated that the frogs" will be TAX
en- out and the swith made part of the
new track.
Just there the Government stepped in
this morning and took a hand. Mr..
Thurston, president of the Rapid Tran
sit Company, appeared before the Exc
cutive at the 10 o'clock meeting and
complained that the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company was laying :. double
track on the makai side of King street
contrary to the instructions of the Min
lister of Interior.
At the suggestion of Governor Doe
Mr.. Neumann, attorney for the Tram
ways Company was called in. lie h-i1
that the section of track being com
pleted today was practically finished
when Mr.. Young's order to cease work
was received. After more discussion
the attorney requested that the Gov
ernment begin an injunction suit to
determine it's right to stop the work.
After Mr.. Neumann had left the Exc
cutiYe decided to begin injunction pro-
ceedings at once. This afternoon a let
ter from Secretary Haughs conveying
that information will be handled to
Mr. Neumanp.
"Our present aim," said a head man
of the company this morning, lis merely
to establish a long switch. It's purpose
is to obviate the necessity of cars stop
ping on the short switch between the
government buildings to let other cars
pass The old system has been espec-
tally disagreeable in the mornings,
when men from Waikiki are huirying in
to work. Under the new arrangement
the cars can come right on in to a point
opposite Cararno's fruit store, and by
that time the other car will have pass
ed Thus no time will be lost.
II cannot say today just what our
next move will be. We intend laying a
double track on King street and also
intend going right ahead with our cleo
trio system"

Three Plantations.
Manager Stoddard of Maunalei, will
leave this afternoon for his post on La
mai. He has not resigned, and will not
do so before the first of next month,
and perhaps not at all. Seed cane and
property of the company are being sold
to pay laborers, so that matters are in
a rather bad state. At the same time
the directors have several promising
plans ahead for raising money. on an
average only two assessments on Maui
nalei have been kept up by stockhold-
ers. Mr.. Stoddard's reason for wishing
to resign is the discouraging outlook
for money.
The project to bond Olaa is meeting
with general approval and promises
complete success. 1t was stated this
morning that applications for some of
the bonds have already been received,
and indications are that all can be plac-
ed here The matter of bonding the

"a GILDED FOOL"
Comedy Performance by the
Neill Company


The Neill company had another large
house on Saturday evening, when
Henry Guy Carleton's comedy, "a
Gilded Fool" was the bill. The play
is a four-act New York comedy drama.
1t is one of the happy lending sort, even
the one villain of the play seeming at
the end to be starting on the right
road, as he shakes hands with the hero
at their last parting and leaves the
scene and it is safe to say that the
close left the audience in a good
humor, just as the whole play kept all
present interested and amused.
The performance was highly praised
on all sides Saturday night las has been
almost every performance Neill has CIV
en- here. The experienced play-goers
compared Neill with Nat Goodwin,
some to Neills advantage and others
the other way, but all were agreed that
the Neill performance was a highly
creditable one to all in the cast, from
Mr.. Neill as "Chauncey Short" the
gilded fool who was suddenly found to
be no fool at all, and Miss Edith Chap
man as Margaret Ruthven," the hero
inc of the piece, to the valet and jani-
tor, Emmett Shackelford and Joseph
NJ. Hodgeman. Benjamin Howard as
"Bannister Strange" kept up his repu-
tation with the villains part, and
Frank MacVicars was very fine in the
part of Matthew RuthVen, the honest
member of the partnership of which
Strange was the rascal. The whole
performance was smooth and it was
much enjoyed by all present.
Tomorrow nights play will be Jim

There was no one on board the

which constantly knocked against her
bottom.
Captain Nelson, leaves this afternoon
with the gasoline schooner Malolo, to
try and save the Mile Morris The
schooner is almost all under water,
and there is little hope that she can
be raised and repaired. The Malolo
