HAWAIIAN GERMANS sORGANIzING
FOR WAR.
old Army Men Have offered $50 Former
Soldiers to Emperor William for Ser
vice at Peking.

a German contingent for the defense
of the cause of Emperor William in
China is being solidified in the Hawaii
an Islands. If the war continues. and
there is a need of men to defend the
double eagle it is fairly certain that ESQ
sons of the Fatherland will sail from
this port for far Cathay to fight as
valiantly as did their fathers on the
fields of Waterloo and Sedan.
Ordinarily, subjects of foreign pow
er could not leave the shores of the Uni
ted States to fight against another ma
ton, but in this case the situation is
all changed, for the United States and
Germany are allies in the conflict now
in progress in the east. If the con-
tingent is required it will sail away on
the regular steamers or on a special
transport without opposition from the
gentleman with the starry vest and
striped trousers.
The local organization of German
troops began soon after the China war
broke out, and came to a focus when
the news arrived of the murder OF Bar
on Won Kettler. the German Minister,
i'm front of the German legation in Pc
king. Foremost in the list of organic
ers was Caesar Kruger, a former SER
geant in the German army, who has
been for a number of years a resident
of the Islands. He soon gathered around
him other petty officers of Emperor
Williams hosts. and the organization
of a contingent began. AS above stated,
250 men have signitied their willingness
to CO. and their services have been Of
fered to Consul j. F. Hackfeld. The
Consul will proceed cautiously in the
matter, and will not send the men off
until the central government is heard
from. 1t is believed, however, that the
contingent will be accepted, as it is near
to China and can be landed there on a
direct line of steamers in a much short
er time than it would take to bring
soldiers out from Germany.
1t is understood that most, if not
all of the men contemplating this SER
vice in China, as such as have been at
tached to the army, and are subject to
be called at any time by the Emperor,
no matter where they may be. Though
living here, they are neither citizens OF
Hawaii nor of the United States.
1t is expected that within a month
the application of the contingent will
be heard from.

WAR ON SUGAR BOUNTES
THE LONDON CONGRESS TAKES
ACTION.
British Chamber of Commerce Calls on
the Powers to Agree to Shut Out
Bounty Fed Products.

LONDON, July War on interna-
tional sugar bounties was declared by
the congress of the chambers of COM
merce of the empire Sir Naville Lub-
book of London who introduced the res
olution adopted calling on the British
government to enter a convention with
the European powers to prevent the en-
try of bounty fed products, said to your
correspondent tOnight
Foreign bounties on sugar have
worked such hardship on British indus
try that we feel that the time has ar
rived when the government can afford
the home and colonial planter some
such protection as is afforded the plan
ters in the United States. The Ameri-
can action in placing counterVailing
duties upon bounty fed imports has
been a lesson in fair treatment by which
the English will profit. We have prac-
tical evidence of the operation of this
policy in the British West Indies, whose
trade with the United States increased
so enormously last year. For the first
time in the history of Jamaica its i'm
pOrtatiOns from the United States were
greater than from the mother country"
Germany, Belgium, Austria and Hol-
land are the powers with which it Is
proposed Great Britain shall federate,
France, it is said, is unwilling to abolish
her bounty grants.

BEER MAY FIND A WAY A CONTINGENT FOR CHINA

Navigation Laws Cut off Seattle as a
Source of Supply Unless Cold Storage
Steamers are Run.

The necessities of the cool draught
beer business may result in a line of
steamers with cold storage capacity be-
tween here and Seattle.
Charles Mccarthy, proprietor of the
Criterion saloon, will leave on the
Aorangt August l for Victoria. His
mission is in the interests of the saloor
business, and will be of especial interest
to this place. From Victoria he will
go to Seattle, where he intends to try
and effect some arrangement for ship
ping beer to this place.
Formerly all the Seattle beer brought
here came by way of Victoria on the
Canadian-Australian line of steamers
in cold storage. But by the United
States navigation laws an end has been
put to this, as freight from one Ameri-
can port to another, even when it
passes through a foreign country, can
only be carried i'm American bottoms.
But the result of this is that Seattle
beer, which is very largely used here
can only come by way of San Francis
co now as there is no line of American
steamers direct here from Sound ports
But by way of San Francisco is eXpen-
sive. And besides there is said not tC
be enough cold storage capacity on the
American steamers plying between Sar
Francisco and here to carry the amount
required. A direct line is what is

CHINATOWN.
Pressing Need For 1t On Account of
Building Beyond the Stream-Chap-
man Refused a License.

The Executive this morning discussed
at length the matter of street extern
sions as mapped out by the last legisla-
ture, the idea being to determine which
were the most pressing, and to have
them finished up as soon as possible
1t was the conclusion that Vineyard
street from it's present terminus to Lii
liha should be extended without delay,
and the Superintendent of Public Works
was requested to carry out the work.
j. w. Chapman, who intended open
ing a resort in Kalihi, was refused a
light wine and beer license. The OBJ
lection came from the High Sheriff who
reported that the district could not be
properly policed at this time.
The old application of the military
company at Hilo to be mustered in as a
volunteer element of the First Regi-
ment was read and tabled for future
consideration.

UNCLE SANS LITTLE TEMPLE OF
JUSTICE.
Will be Handsomest Courtroom in the
Country - General Arrangements -
Marshal Rays Office.

Judge Estee's courtroom in the Judic-
larry building will be one of the finest
sactums of justice in the country. AS
for arrangement and coloring and style,
1t will be second to none. A big gang
of workmen has been engaged upon it
for some days and their tools and paint
brushes are beginning to tell.
First of all, a new foundation and
new flooring have been put in the room.
Next has been the-tinting of the walls,
which Is in the most delicate style and
finish. Not a relic of a grease spot or
ribbon of dust has been left anywhere.
Every inch of the room is as slick as a
silk hat fresh from the manufacturer.
The old assembly room of the Board
of Health Will hold the juries of Judge
Estee's court. 1t is now being fitted up
along with the court chamber. Judge
Estees private Office and chamber will
be the two offices at the corner, now be-
ing vacated by the Board of Health. A
door win be cut through the wall from
the jury room into the present census
office, and that place will eventually be
used also by the court.
Marshal Ray will occupy the old Off
ces of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture and Superintendent of Elections.
These rooms will be no less swell
than those of the court. The walls are
being tinted and the floors will be fixed
up as neat as a parlor. Handsome fur
nishings for the offices has already
been purchased, and will be installed as
soon as the court opens.
The Marshal will make that his head
quarters With him at all times will be
his first deputy marshal, Miss Ray, his
daughter. Her duties will be similar to
those of the deputy high sheriff, save
that she will not assist in making raids
and reckless adventures.

THE LIQUOR LAW CASES
JUDGE WILCOX DECIDES ABOUT
DONAHUE.
Refuses to Accept Compromise Plea OF
Guilty and the Plea is Changed
Ottman UP Again.

Judge Wilcox this morning gave his
decision in the case of c. Donahue, who
wanted to plead guilty of selling liquor
without n license and have sentence
suspended on account of his promise
to pay a previous fine and to "leaVe
the country" The judge declined to
make the bargain, and stated that he
would impose sentence at once. Dona-
hue was allowed, however, to change
his plea and stand trial. The plea of
guilty was entered with the under
standing that the defendant would be
allowed to go on the terms stated, and
as the judge would not have it, Dona-
hue was allowed to change and enter
a plea of not guilty. The case is to be
tried next Monday.
Il won't have any more pleas of
guilty with strings on them" said the
judge. Hereafter a man who pleads
guilty will be treated as guilty and
promises to leave the country won't
stop him from being sentenced.
I'm this case l have made inquiries
of my own, and I am satisfied that the
defendant did not intend to leave the
country at all. He intended to leave
Long Branch, where the business does
not pay lately, but he might have been
at his old tricks somewhere else. He
is like a lot of others with sentences
suspended because they were leaving
the country. I don't see any of them
going on the steamers, and there is nc
way to guarantee that they will go

amount went to Philadelphia. The de-

United States naval authorities are

of it is a problem, as the Government
moves slowly. 1t was the intention OF
the Honolulu Iron Works to put In a
big dock, but the plans of that COM
pany have been blocked by the scheme
of the Government. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Government some time
ago refused to allow Captain Walker to
nut in a dry dock for the same reason.

AN EXCURSION CAR.
Decided Novelty Being Turned Out For
Railroad Service.

A novelty in the way of car is being
built by Master Builder Jack" Hughes
at the shops of the Oahu Railway Com
pany. 1t is an observation car of a
kind entirely new to railroads on the
Mainland or here. The chief difference
between it and excursion cars of the
Mainland is that a large section of it
is left entirely open. This is permitted
by the equable climate of the country.
The open section of the car has roof
and merely a veranda railing around
the sides, making it practically mov-
ing lanai. From it a clear view Of the
whole surrounding country is readily
obtained.
The front section of the car contains
a fine dining room and all the other con-
Veniences of the well known vestibule
cars of the east. The furnishings are
very rich and elaborate. 1t is quite a
large car, capable of transporting big
party.
