Sir Robert Peel in the Criminal Dock

London, June 27.-Sir Robert Peel,
~faultlessly attired in a frock coat and
carrying a silk hat in his hand, stood
in the dock at the Old Bailey today on
the charge of criminally libeling his

in connection with his trusteeship of
the Peel estate. Sir Robert withdrew
all the defamatory statements, and
apologized for calling his brother-in-

Ilecturing the baronet and expressing
the hope that the fact that h bearer
of the great historic name of Sir Rob
lert Peel had stood in a DOCK would
prove sufficient punishment, bound the
defendant over to come up for sentence

Colonel was not the model for the
statue OF Kameh Amelia 1. 1t was
the manly form of his cousin John

Robert Hoapili was not Lahaina-

Is it not about time to declare
San Francisco an infected port and
place into quarantine all vessels
from that port arriving at Hilo, Ka-
hului, Waimea and Honolulu? Is it
fair to the business men Of this city
that ports of entry on the other ISL
ands should give vessels from San
Francisco free entry, when coastiug
vessels from this port are denied
that privilege at outside portss By
last advices San Francisco had more
plague cases than this city has had
for month.
