CAPT. BUFORD OF THE THOMAS
AND MRS. BUFORD.
Was to Have Come With Him But Was
Prohibited and Took the Coptic,
Lucky Delays Here

Captain buford of the transport
Thomas has been trying for some time
to get permission for his wife to accom-
pany him on the steamer and this time
he thought the matter was arranged
until a dispatch knocked the plan on
the head at the last moment Mrs.
Buford was all prepared to go on the
vessel, permission having been given,
when a few hours before the steamer
left, there came a Washington dispatch
forbidding her to go. Captain Buford
saw in it the work of some enemy.
There was no time to get any further
communications on the subject and the
vessel left without Mrs. Buford and
with the captain in a very unamiable
frame of mind.
Mrs. Buford is crossing the ocean with
her husband, nevertheless, though she
is not on the same boat. She took pas
sage on the steamer Coptic and arrived
in port last night, to find her husband
still here. If they couldn't come on the
same boat there was no order to stop
the couple from crossing the Pacific at
the sametime on different boats and
meeting one another whenever opportu-
nifty offered. They met in Honolulu
and may meet again in Manila. BY
that time perhaps the obnoxious order
may have been rescinded, as a result of
the naval drag" of the captain who is

the navy department.
The Thomas did not leave early this
morning. She was ready at noon yester-
day. but the Coptic was not in. The
Coptic luckily had lot of mail for the
Thomas, so that there was good reason
for waiting. Then when the mail was
turned over it was shown that Captain
Buford's luck was still holding out for
the Thomas was found to be leaking.
A couple of scuttles that were not pro-
perly fastened at San Francisco it is
said, were letting in water, and a crew
of men was put at work to fix things
Captain Shaker the local quartermas-
ter, who likes to see the steamers get
prompt discharge, is very far from
pleased at the delays in sending the
Thomas out. Sailing orders were given
for noon yesterday, subsequently it was
daylight this morning, but the Thomas
did not go.

KINTUCK DID NOT START TILL
THE 18TH.
Passed Through Three Days of storm
Without Losing an Animal-Fearful
Weather at the Sound.

The big transport Kintuck, which
was regarded as overdue, proves to
have made a very good trip, arriving
last night in ten and a half days from
Port Angeles, and without losing a sim
gle animal of the SIS with which she
left Seattle. This is a record not equal
led by any other transport that has
come here and in view of the terrible
weather encountered it is a remarkably
good showing.
The Kintuck left Seattle on the aft
ernoon of the 18th and anchored at
Port Townsend, remaining there all the
next day, on account of the fearful
weather. On the 18th she went to Port
Angeles, though the captain of the U.
S. S. McCulloch which came for safe
anchorage advised captain Long to
stay where he was At Port Angeles
the lghtship Umatilla showed up, hav-
ing broken from her moorings. A dis
patch from the Portland weather bu-
reau announced the approached of an
other storm, but Captain Long of the
Kintuck decided to face it and he put
to sea on the morning of the 18th.
The big transport went into hurri-
cane from the Southeast and for three
days she was in very high seas, TAX
ing in water fore and aft and making
but slow progress. One day she only
made Sc miles. The last half OF the
The Kintucks good record this time
is not her first. On her last trip she
carried SIT mules and horses to Manila,
laying II days at TAXI and only lost
one animal from exhaustion. DR.. c.
II. Bugbee is the veterinary in charge
of the animals and Captain Hampton
is the quartermaster in charge.
Captain George w. Long, master Of
| the Kintuck, has been with her since
she was built five years ago. He made
a neat haul in the Indian Ocean about
a year ago ~" picking up the German
steamer Tannenfels after the latter
had broken her shaft, in a southwest
monsoon. He towed her $40 miles and
the Kintuclt was awarded 1900 pounds
for the Job. OF this sum $2,500 went
to Captain Long. and the crew of the
Kintuck got $4,000. The German vessel
was a thousand tons heavier than the
Kntuck. which is 4446 tons gross.
The Kintuck will stay in port about
a week.

NEW PANAMA LINE

SAN FRANCISCO, December 19.-
Two thousand tons of through freight
for New York was taken yesterday by
the steamer st. Paul, first, of the line
established by the Panama Railroad
Company in opposition to the Pacific
Mail Company. All the available space
in the vessel was utilized, yet freight
was left behind on Fremont-street
wharf, to be taken to Panama by the
steamer Roanoke, sailing on January
Sth.
A similar cargo will be taken by the
steamer Roanoke, scheduled to sail
from here on January Sth, and following
that date the st. Paul and Roanoke
will sail alternately on the route, with
sailing every three weeks.

A NEW APPETIsER.

SEATTLE, December 21.-The Sheriff
of King County-A. r, Vandeventer-
called out the Fire Department toady,
and had the hose turned on fifty-one
prisoners confined in the north tank of
the Jail because they refused to eat
what they termed unwholesome food.
Several hundred gallons of water were
poured into the cells, the corridor at
times being flooded. Beds and such
wearing apparel as the prisoners had
were drenched.
The action of the inmates was the
elimination of what they term prolong-
ed and studied deprivation on the part
of the Sheriff, whom they charge with
having attempted to staTve them out
in order to make money, having a con
tract with the county to feed the in
mates of the Jail at so much per meal
The Sheriff says the food was fit fol
any man.

CO-EDs AND jealousy.

CHICAGO, December 18.-The fair
co-eds at the University of Chicago
have been turned out of the dance of
the Quadrangle Club by the advice of
the professors. The Quadrangle Club
is the social organization of the faculty
members. The clubs fortnightly dances
attracted the prettiest girls and most
gallant young men of the student body
The professors sought the sides of the
BUDS and their wives were too often left
to play the part of wallflowers. There
was a protest, presumably successful,
in view of the edict that banishes girls
from the faculty dances. Now the pro-
fessors dance with each others wives
at the balls.
The co-eds say that jealousy is the
cause of this, and are indignant.

HAWAII WSMMM GOOD MW MEET NMNSaB TERRITORIES WE COOKE LIMITED FIRST BANKRUPTCY CASE
j. A. BUTTERFIELD ASKS LAWS
PROTECTION.
Frank D, Thompson Appointed Referee.
And Matter Goes to Him-Liabilities
of over 10000

The first petition for bankruptcy un-.
der the new laws was filed this morning
in the United States district court and
the usual course has been taken. The
petition is by j. A. Butterfeld "a builder
and comes about on account of certain
blind mortgages on houses at puuahou.
Mr.. Butteriield was the victim of a
bigamist and swindler who stopped here
some years ago and shortly skipped out
TO Australia, or in that direction. The
property, upon which the local man had
CHANGED all of his fortune was found to
be entangled in mortgages, The cloud
on the title and the pressing Of mort
gage claims upon the estate made the
pretty cottages above PunahOu college
of practically no value
The Territorial courts first took up
the matter and ordered a sale of the
property on foreclosure of the mort
cages. This notice of sale has already
been posted about town by the Deputy
High Sheriff. When the petition for
bankruptcy appeared this morning,
however, this sale was knocked in the.
mead The holders of the several mort
cages will now have to look to the
United States court for their money
Mr. Butterheld states that his debts
foot up $40, 22O.2l and that his assets are
9,l5O.OO. The value of his property is
deprecated by the blind mortgages he
found upon it, or rather the obligations
of the adsconder whose liabilities he
was forced to assume.
Frank d. Thompson was this morning
sworn in as referee and master i'm cham
cery ana the case was Immediately
turned over to him. He took charge of
the matter and will make the usual an
nouncement to creditors prescribed by
Jaw. Mr.. ThOmpson's oath was the
same as that taken by Judge Estee ex-
cept the difference i'm name of the office

Judge w. l.. Stanley and others As
soon as this was over Judge Estee sign

matter to him.
1t is not generally known here that
the bankruptcy law is a national one
and that such matters can no longer
come before the Territorial courts. They
are only to be handled in future by the
United States courts

CHARGES AGAINST KINYoUN.
Frisco Merchants and Shippers Com
plain to the Collector.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 90
Complaints have been made to Gus
toms Collector Stratton concerning the
unpopular manner in which Federal
Quarantine officer Kinyoun is discharg-
ing the duties of his office These COM
plants are from merchants and ship
pers generally and are to the effect that
Kinyoun has injured the commerce of
this port materially by sending to
Washington reports of bubonic plague
at this port, when in fact there never
has been any plague OF any KIND IN
this city during the incumbency of
Kinyoun.
The latest complaint is regarding an
order made by Kinyoun in the matter
of the steamship Coptic on her arrival
from Chinese ports on the 14th of the
present month. The order recites that
the vessel is entitled to free pratique
with exceptions that all dried fish and
oysters and dried meats and vegetables
from HongkonP are not to be taken
off the vessel unless on special certi-
ficates, and all Chinese and Japanese
food stuffs, such as yams, water chest
nuts, lily bulbs, sugar cane green GIN
ger bamboo shoots and taro, to be al
lowed to be landed only upon such GER
tifcates."
Collector Stratton has had Dr. Kin
youn on the carpet and received his eX-
plantations as to the necessity for these
and other disagreeable and seemingly
unnecessary restrictions upon COM
merce, and the Collector mailed his re-
port to Washington yesterday. What
his recommendation in the matter is,
Mr.. Stratton declines to say, but there
is a well authenticated report around
the Custom house that the California
delegation will ask the authorities to
transfer DR.. Kinyoun to some port as
far away from San Francisco as pos
sible
]. e. Bennett of counsel for the Chi
nese Six Companies is preparing pa
pers for a suit against the Quarantine
officer on behalf of Chinese consignees
of the goods held upon the Coptic by
the doctors orders.

Miss Ackerman has very pronounced

No MORE CHINESE.
Last Lot From Transport Being Sent
Home.

The last Chinese to be employed ON
the transports owned by the United
States government are on board the
steamship Coptic, on their way home
after having been discharged 1t is
white labor all through the service now,
and a decision has been reached that
hereafter only American citizens shall
be employed.
The Chinese on the Coptic are from
the transport Hancock. There are 80 of
them When the Hancock got to San
Francisco last time they were all dis
charged. This is supposed to have been
result of the agitation by the labor
unions against employment of Chinese
The Hancock's Chinese were shipped
in China and therefore are not entitled
to land in the United States. They were
herded from the TIancock to the COptic
and are now being taken home, like the
Porto Ricans shipped from New Orleans
being practically prisoners" all the
way.
On the chartered transports Chinese
are still employed The government
has nothing to do with the working
force on these Ecats and the Kintuck,
now in port, has a lot of Chinese in her
crew The Pacific Mail steamers also
employ Chinese.

Disposal of the Chinese Plague Relief
Funds.

The friends of Consul Yang Wal Pin
turned out in force at last nights meet
ing of the various Chinese societies for
discussion of means of disposing of the
plague fund surplus, and w. w. Ahana,
one of the consuls most active enemies,
was attacked and beaten. At the meet
ing the Chinese United Societies, the
Pow on KOok, the Chinese Hospital and
the Relief Society were represented. 1t
is said that there was a large crowd of
plantation Chinese not belonging to any
society, who were responsible for the
assault on Ahana.
Consul Yang Wal Pins plan was
finally adopted He did not attend the
meeting this time, but wrote a letter,
giving his opinion that the money,
which is about $4,000 left from the
plague relief funds. should be turned
over to the United Societies. This plan
was adopted. The Chinese United Socie-
ties it is said will devote the money
to the Chinese hospital
