CAPTAIN WINSLOw AND THE
CUSTOM HOUSE.
A Customs Inspector Asked to Step
Away from the Gangway of the Navy
Transport Solace.

Cordial relations do not exist between
the custom house men and the hospital
ship Solace, with the result that there
has been a good deal of discussion of
various points connected with the duties
of the custom house men. The Solace
is the vessel which had a very unfortu-
nate encounter with the customs men
at san Francisco on her last trip a
| large quantity of dutiable goods being
seized and number of officers being
fined.
The custom house men here have not
uone business with the Solace, except
10 keep her Chinese on board, much to
the dissatisfaction of her commander.
She is not rated as a transport but as
war vessel, 1t is stated, and the Gus
tom house men therefore do not do
any searching.
The Solace will probably leave tomor-
row for Manila via Guam and the cus-
toms inspectors will be glad to see her
go. several men of them are on the
Whart day and night, and they do NOT
seem popular with Captain Winslow.
one OF the local men got on order
that startled him yesterday from the
transport. He was walking about the
wharf as usual, keeping watch, when he
happened to stop and stand near the
gangway. The eagle eye of some officer
on board spotted him and a message
was sent to one of the quartermasters
Inc customs man was told that he was
in the way of the sentry's line of march
and must step farther from the gang
way After that the relations were still
less cordial.
The matter of the rating of the Solace
Will probably be the subject of an in
Yestigation, as it is thought by some
that she should be treated as a trans
port like the others. instead of as a
war vessel. She was a hospital ship
untll she began to do transport service
for the navy.
with most of the transports the Gus
toms men are friendly as with the Mail
steamers on board of which they are
always expected and looked for. Cap
tain Grant of the Sherman offered to
help in any way he was able in the

THREE MEN OVERHEARD
EVENTFUL TRIP OF THE MAUI
AND KINAU.
End of Sailors Fight on the Maui's
Deck-One of the Kinau's Men is
Drowned

Two men fell overheard from the
steamer Maui on her trip last week and
one from the Kinau, the latter being
drowned. The Maui men had a fight on
deck ana tried to throw each other off,
with the result that both went over the
stern. The Kinau man opened a port
and went through it,
The rescue from the Maui was a re-
markable one. The two men fell from
the steamer late on Saturday night.
Whlle the vessel was in the midst of
very stormy weather in the channel be-
tween Hawaii and Maui. They are
Keahu and Haleauki
heahu and Haleauki quarrelled over
politics or something else and began
lighting. They clinched on deck aft and
began wrestling. The steamer was roll
ing and pitching very heavily and both
| rolled on the deck. The end of the fight
came when they got on a pile of ropes
and an unusual lurch sent them 5oth
| into the stormy water
The alarm was given and a boat was
lowered in quick time. The steamer
was going ahead at full speed when the
men fell and 1t took some time to stop
| her but both men showed up close by
almost as soon as the boat was lowered
INTO the water. They are young men
ana both are remarkably good swim
mers.
As soon as they found themselves in
the water Keahu and Haleauki released
their hold on one another, stopped the
night and each looked out for himself.
They swan through the waves after
the steamers lights. Neither of them
wanted to continue the fight after being
taken on board again.
Walnae was the man lost from the
Kinau. He started to open one of the
ports as the steamer was slowing down
at Laupahoehoe and rolling very heaVi-
ly. AS soon as he drew the bolt both
doors of the port flew open and Wainae
went through them. He was an old
man and not strong enough to swim for
long in such sea, and he was never
seen after he fell.
The unfortunate mans voice was
heard from the water as the steamer
went on. He was calling to the vesse
to stop boat was lowered and for al
hour search was made but Wainat
could not be found. The sea was fear
fully rough and he must have becom,
exhausted very quickly. Wainae was
an oldtimer in island steamer serVic,
here. Purser Beckley says he remem
bers the man 80 years ago as a sailor,

OCEANIC STEAMERS TO CALL AT
PAGOPAGO.
Apia a German Port While the Other is
American-Sierra to be the Pioneer
Steamer.

The Oceanic Steamship Company's
vessels are to call at Pagopago in the
Samoan islands hereafter instead of
Apia. Apia is in the territory that
was allotted to Germany in the recent
distribution of the Samoan Islands,
while Pagopago is the principal harbor
in the American part of the group.
The change is to so into effect on the
trip of the steamer Sierra, the first of
the new vessels, when VIII be here on
the 9th of this month. She will be the
first American liner to make PagcpagO
port of call instead Of Apia and will
be the pioneer in what is expected to
grow into a big ira lie.
Pagopago is on the island of Tutuila,
which is American territory under a
government similar ID that of Guam,
the governor being Commander b. F.
Tilley, u. S. N. Since the settlement
of the nationality question harbOr i'm
provementS have begun and Il naval
station is being established. w harf
buildings is now under way.
At the present time Apia is the larg-
est city of the Samoan group, but the
change in the route of the Oceanic
steamships and the government activi-
ties at Pagopago are rapid causing rap
i'd growth of that place.
The last of the steamers to call at
Apia will be the Moana, on the return
from her present trip.

KNITTED BY HIS FATHER
HOW KAHAULELIO WAS BEATEN
ON LAHAINA.
Election on that Island said to Have
Been Conducted in Illegal Manner
Discussing Contest

Matt Mccain, d. H. Kahaulelio and
"Oily Bili' White came over from La
haina by the Maui last evening The
| first two named are here to consult
with the Republican managers regard
| ing certain irregularities in the cleo
tion at Lahaina. White, who will not
| be WilcoX's secretary at Washington,
is over to ascertain the plans of his
| boss.
Mccain claims that the election in
his burg was illegal for the reason
that the requirements in regard to the
construction and arrangement of
| booths, etc. were not complied with.
There were no ratings at all about the
polling place. 1t is related that Inde-
pendentS did not hesitate to continue
directing voters after they had enter
| ed the booths to mark their ballots.
A thing like that in Honolulu would
have caused a fight on the spot, and
came near doing so in Lahaina. The
objectors were overruled and gave the
matter up after filing a protest. The
Republican leaders do not think they
can do anything as no penalty is at
tached to that part of the law cover
! ing the matter.
d. H. Kahaulelio, who was in the
last legislature, came down on the
same business. He was showed un-
der at Lahaina by his brother, D. X

SEGREGATION OF PRISONERS.

The plan of segregating long from
short term prisoners will be carried out
by High Sheriff Brown and Jailor
Henry, and it is believed it will be a
success. All convicts on the islands
sentenced for more than one year will
be brought to Honolulu and placed in
the Territorial prison. Those sentenced
for less than one year will be kept on
their respective islands and given such
work as the sheriffs NAV deem proper.
In the Territorial prison the short
term men will be kept separate as far
as possible from the long term convicts
and will be given a different class of
work.
High Sheriff Brown has already the
long term prisoners from Maui, Hawaii
and Kauai
