TESTED FARE QUESTION.

A Portuguese passenger on Nuuanu
valley Punahou car ran an unusual
bluff on the driver yesterday afternoon
but it did not work. He boarded the car
in the valley and announced his inten-
ton of going to Punahou. At King
street, however, little girl boarded the
car and the Portuguese announced that
the girl, who was his daughter. would
ride out the balance of his fare while
he himself would get off the car.
1t was evident that the man was only
coming to town and the arrangement
for the girl to get all there was out OF
the fare money was preaTranged. The
driver overruled the Portuguese, hold
ing that for each passenger no matter
the distance, there must be one fare
The man sullenly paid the money
threatened to sue and left the car.

No appointment of a second Circuit
Judge has yet been made by President
Mckinley, and some people do not think

Judge Silliman, who recently retired

gives the fight between party factions
here as the cause of the delay.
Just so long as there is party bicker-
ing here, there will be no more appoint
ments of island men to Offices" says
Judge Silliman. president Mckinley
will not lend himself to the machina-
tions of either faction. He will wait
awhile, and If better understanding is
not reached between the factions a
Judge will be sent out from the east

ARMY WELL TO Be SUNK
FRESH WATER FROM RECENTLY
MADE GROUND.
The War Department Grants the APP
preparation Asked for and Boring will
Be Done at once.

Captain Shaker has received word
that the appropriation asked for for the
sinking of a well to supply transports
with water has been granted, and work
will begin at once on the well. 1t is
to be on ground that has not been
made" as long as a year, but is eX'
pected to provide a million gallons
day.
The well is to be sunk near the navy
office. a year ago the ground where
the boring is to be done was a part of
the harbor, but there is every reason to
believed that IL will yield a fresh water
stream of million gallons day when
the boring is done Close by, the Elec-
trio Company has Nell on ground
that was made some years ago, now
supplying two million gallons day.
The ground where the new well is to
be was filled in by the government
dredger about a year ago. Little doubt
is entertained that a strong flow Of
water can be secured by boring. In
| fact those who have investigated tie
matter think that fresh water would
| rise in wells in the ocean itself, near the
| coast. If a well were sunk In shallow
waiter it is thought that a flow could
be secured. The flow near the water
front is so strong that pure fresh water
from the depths forces its way to the
surface so rapidly as to prevent any Of
the surface salt water from getting in
to it. The water will rise thirty feet
| above the surface.
The new well will be a great saving
to the war department in the matter a
getting water in Honolulu. 1t will al
so be cause of loss of revenue to the
Hawaiian government, Transports ave
charged $1.26 a ton for water here
which is considered a very high charg,
and amounts to five or six hundred dol
lars to each vessel. 1t is about half ;
cent "A gallon.
The transports all have on boarC
machinery for getting their own fresl
water from the ocean salt water. Th

officer Silva Arrests a Countryman and
Comes to Grief on the Witness
Stand.

The Count V. de Costa entertained
a large audience in the police court this
morning. He was charged with the
lowly offense of being drunk, having
been arrested by officer Silva, at Silva S
home last night, after Silva had made
various efforts to send him to his own
residence.
II been asking you perhaps the way
to go homer" was the first question
the eslInt put to the officer, when his
turn for Cross-eXamination came.
Il seen you drunken" began Silva,
but de Costa was too quick for him
and interrupted with a remark that he
had not been drunk once at all.
''All my life l get to 46 years of age
and perhaps 1 have never been in a
police court before" began the count,
but Judge Wilcox did not want to hear
the story of his life.
The count said that the home he
wanted to start for when Silva arrested
him was in New York. "If you been a
good officer you tell me where is the
place that L 60" he said reproachfully
to Silva.
Judge Wilcox decided that the charge
had not been proved. 1t was proved
that the count had been drunk in Sill
vas yard, but that was not being
drunk in a public place, so de Costa
was allowed to go. He congratulated
the court on it's perspicacity made g
sweeping bow and left before Silva hac
had time to get off the witness stand
