importing FRESH FISH

There were some very cold breezes at
the Kinau wharf today when the frozen
room matches of the steamer Albion
were opened. There was also the
strange spectacle of Importation OF
fresh fish to Honolulu from California.
The steamer has one of her rooms filled
with salmon, trout halibut and other
fish. San Francisco thought it like
sending coal to Newcastle to send fish
to ocean surrounded Oahu, but the Ho-
nolulu Market Company says 1t is a
paying proposition.
The Albion has five holds or COM
partments, in which everything is fro
zen. The temperature is kept ten de-
grees below the freezing point in these
compartments, which have a combined
capacity of nearly 800 tons. The freez-
ing is done by four expanding refrige-
rating machines, the method used being
that of compression and expanding am
mOnia. The machines are just forwa rd
of the steamers engines and get their
power from the engines. They are ca
pable of producing a very cold condi-
ton all over the ship.
Above the rooms where everything is
frozen so that meats and fish are hard
enough to require an axe to break them,
and various birds are stiff as ice Itself,
are four cold storage rooms where the
temperature, while it is low, is not at
freezing point. In these holds beer We
getables and other general freight not
requiring freezing are kept.
The first of the frozen holds was
opened today and the machinery ana
arrangements of the vessel attracted
much attention. TIE Albion was espe-
cially fitted up for trir ring frozen and
cold storage stuff to Hawaii after she
left the Cape Nome trade a few months
ago, and she will continue in the bust
ness
The cold" steamer will probably
leave here on the return to San Fran
cisco about the first of next week. She
will go away very light and high out OF
the water, and is expected to be be-
tween two and three weeks getting tC
the coast against the trade winds.

REGULATING SALE OF METHY-
LATED SPIRITS.
An Adulterated Coffee Case calls Forth
Some Suggestions for the Board OF
Health.

The case of Young Kee, charged with
selling coffee with ChickoTy in it, was
tried this morning in the police court,
and he was fined $25 and costs Incl
IDENTIFY Judge Wilcox remarked as no
tlce of appeal was given. that he didn't
think the case would ever really be
brought before the Circuit court He
thought it would be nolle pressed and
Ne also thought that Young Kee had
been jobbed by those who went after
evidence in the case.
The alleged adulterated coffee was
sold by clerk of NOung's who first
showed the purchasers a package in
which was some stuff marked to indi-
cate that ii was a mixture of coffee and
chickory. He sold them coffee out of a
jar not marked The proprietor en-
tered the store just as the sale was be-
ing made and auuounCed that 1t was not
pure coffee, but the buyers. who were
after evidence, took their purchase, say
ing that they would come back. When
they did come 1T was to arrest him for
selling adulterated coffee.
Judge Wilcox thought that the de-
fendant was technically guilty and fined
him but in filming him he commented
severely upon the method employed to
get evidence. He also declared that
there were far more serious offences
for the food inspectors and other board
Of health men to look after. The sale
of methylated Snirits was one of them.
Judge Wilcox thinks that the sale of
methylated spirits might he regulated
by enforcement of the law regulating
the sale of pOisonS Methylated spirits
is establishing something of a reputa-
ton as deadly poison" but it is not
sold as such. The penal code provides
that no deadly poison shall be sold eX-
cept to persons whom the seller knows
to be careful and well disposed" also
that every phial or package containing
a deadly poison shall have the word
Poison on its label, in English and Ha-
waian, with suitable emblematic de-
sign, such as the skull and cross bones.
This is not done with methylated
spirits.
There is another section in the code,
under which the drug is sold. 1t pro-
vides for licenses to sell it. Though it
says nothing about the label neither
does it contain anything to excuse the
lack of the labels and other precautions,
if methylated spirits can be rated as a
deadly poison"

WAS AFTER DIAMONDS.

A daring attempt to rob Frank j.
Kruger's jewelry store was made early
this morning, shortly after o'clock.
Owing to the miscalculation of the
thief he was foiled in his purpose and
had to decamp without having secur-
ed any articles of value.
BY the Zealandia Mr.. Kruger got
several thousand dollars worth of dia-
monds, watches and other solid gold
stuff which he exhibited on trays in his
front window in the Pacific Hardware
building corner of Fort and Merchant
streets. Evidently the robber noticed
the articles there and determined to
secure them. When he closd the store
Mr. Kruger was wise enough to re-
move the valuable goods and place
them i'm his safe. He also drew the
curtains up from the bottom hiding the
interior of the window.
When the rObber approached the win
dow this morning, he evidently thought
that the goods were still there and
taking a hammer or some similar OBJ
ject smashed the heavy plate window
one glance showed him that the goods
had been removed and he Immediately
hurried away after taking a few ar
ticles of small value. The noise Of the
crash was heard at Nolte's lunch room
but nobody saw the robber.

are preparing to give their steam
er officers and captains lessons in navi-
cation and to conduct examinations
with a view to complying with the Ame-
rican laws which require that all off,
GERS who stand watches shall be lcen-

censes will have to be issued in the near
future to comply with the law and some

THE RIGHTS OF CHINESE
CLAIM THEY WE'RE PROTECTED
BY CONGRESS-
Original Draft Territorial Act Specify
ing Only White and Natives We're
Citizens Was Changed by Congress.

The meeting of Chinese, called for the
purpose of discussing the proper steps
to be taken regarding the recent deci-
sion of the treasury department dis
franchising Chinese citizens was large
ly attended last night at the rooms of
the United Chinese Association. The
president, Wong Kwai, was in the chair
He called attention to the decision stat
ing that it worked a hardship and un-
just wrong upon the Chinese. The gen.
eral sentiment appeared to be that the
matter should be carried into courts and
| tested.
j. w. Girvin addressed the meeting,
He said that when the original draft
of the Organic Act was sent to Con-
gress, it read that all white residents OF
the Hawaiian Republic and all native
Hawaiians who were citizens Of the Re-
public on August IL, 1898 were citizens
| of the United States. Congress discuss
ed this clause and of it's own free will
and accord struck out the word white
thus protecting the Chinese who had
| become citizens.
Final action was postponed until this
evening when a second meeting will be
| held.

TOURIST TRAVEL.

The subject of tourist travel, and
how to attract the tourist to the
islands was the subject up before the
Chamber of Commerce at it's monthly
meeting this morning. The subject
came up in several forms. A letter
firm Allan Dunn called attention to the
brochure he is getting up on the sub
jeCt. He asked the Chamber to endorse
his production, it's contents being sub
ject to it's approval, and to subscribe for
as many copies as it saw fit at the
rate of ten cents each for the first edi-
ton, and as a lower rate for subse-
quent editions.
The Paradise of the Pacific asked the
chamber to take 500 copies of it's hOli-
day number at the rate of fifty cents
apiece. In consideration of this it
would devote a page to the history and
work of the Chamber The holiday
number, it was promised should be an
exceptionally fine one, both in its letter
press and illustrations.
j. b. AthertOn said that in considera-
tion of the. fact that the Chamber had
no funds from which it could enter into
either of the proposed arrangements,
and could obtain them only by solicit
ing from it's members and others, he
would move that the Chamber of Com
merce approve both the projects pres
ented and recommend to it's members
and merchants generally that they sub
scribe as literally as possible for the
publications. This was adopted.
e. C. Macfarlane said this brought uI
a subject which he wished to bring be-
fore the Chamber. The matter was
this. For some time the Oceanic Steam
ship Company, Wilder's, the Inter-Isl-
and, the Volcano House, the Hawaiian
Hotel and some other business enter
prises, had been contributing to main
tain the tourist office of H. b. Rice, al
Los Angeles. Latterly all the cOntri-
butors had dropped out except the
Oceanic, Wilder's and the Hotel. I'm
less about $3.50 or 5000 a month were
contributed. Mr. Rice could not main
tain this office. Mr.. Macfarlane thought
it very important that it should be
maintained as he believed it had beer
of great service in directing tourist ira.
vel to the Islands. Mr.. Macfarlane saiC
tourist travel had very greatly fallen of
or at least had not increased since an
neXation. Great efforts had been made
and successfully, to turn the tide OF
tourist travel towards Cuba and Porte
Rico. Something systematic and i'm
portant ought to be done to attrac
tourist travel here.
G. NJ. Cooke said he had never heard
of Mr. Rice before and knew nothing o
what he had done or was doing eXcep
what he had just heard. He moved
that the subject he postponed to the
next meeting and be made the specia
subject for that meeting. This was
adopted.
D. p. r.. Isenberg was elected to mem
bership in the Chamber of Commerce.

WILCOX DID NONE Of TITS II DEADLY POSN?''
LAWYER SAYS HE TOLD SOME
CAMPAIGN YARNS.
Hawaiian Bill Was Really Framed BY
This Legal Luminary and Senator
Cushman X Davis.

A prominent lawyer of Honolulu now
declares, after the election is all over
and Wilcox has attained what he was
working for, that Garibaldi did not se-
cure for the Hawaiian Bill one single
item claimed by him during the cam
paign He says that he and others
, having friends in the committee, did
the work.
As a proof of his statements he. points
to the sections in regard to the Judi
ciary, abolishing Imprisonment for debt
and for taxes, the open franchise and
some others as coming directly from his
pen. The franchise section is word for
word as the lawyer wrote it, he claims.
The lawyer has in his possession sew
eral letters from the late Senator Cush-
man X. Davis in regard to Hawaiian
| legislation. The following. written Au-
gust t. 1898, refers directly to the re-
concentrations of the local man which
afterward went into the bill:
My Dear Sir:

Chief Justice Frear when asked by a
Star reporter this noon il he had any
thing to say in regard to Judge Hum
phrey's correspondence said: There is
really no occasion for saying anything.
Judge Humphreys seems to have sought
an excuse for erecting men of straw to
knock down, and appears to have been
even anxious to go out of his way to
sling mud at others, apparently for pur-
poses of self-advertising. He appears
to be offended at a portion of Mr.
Smiths letter to Mr.. Porter, which
no one took as rejecting on him. Judge
Humphreys spoke to me yesterday of
this matter and l told him in substance
that / had arnroved Mr. Smiths cause
in declining to send funds to the other
circuits and also that | had told Mr..
Smith at the time he wrote to Mr. POr-
ter that Judge Humphreys order was
all right and cut no figure in the matter
and that the course proposed should be
taken as a matter of correct practice
independently of that order. | also
wrote to Judge Little to that effect and
Judge Humphreys said he had read my
letter to Judge Little and thanked me
for putting the matter as l had in that
letter. To my surprise, though entirely
in line with his past, Judge Humphreys
came out in this mornings paper and
| understand intends further to come
out in the papers with an effusiOn of
SHlI ana Iluu-SllllBlllS dl OlHGIS.
He is Selling the occasion of certain
correspondence between the clerks of
two courts with which he has nothing
to do as an occasion for publishing a
lot of yellow matter of his own concoc-
ton to the community, merely because
small portion of that letter appeared
to his mind to reflect on him though no
one ever intended that it should reflect
on him. AS for my connection with his
order | have never questioned it's cor
rectness or propriety to anyone or paid
any attention to it and do not see that
it should give Judge Humphreys so
much trouble. AS to my approving his
order now on second thought as he
insinuates he knew that 1 had approx
ed it in t'y conversation with Mr.. Smith
two weeks ago and in my letter tc
Judge Little which I wrote and Judge
Humphreys read before he made the
statement that l now approved on sec
ond thought or after he had heard from

EDITOR STAR: ] make the following
explanation in regard to cash deposits
in my hands as clerk of the judiciary
department. The reply of Judge Hum
phreys to Judge Little would seem to
indicate that I had been using trust"
funds to pay court term expenses with;
whereas it is nothing of the kind. The
widows and orphans funds are sacred
ly kept as our books will show; what |
have used was the cash deposited or
"tendered" by litigants to await final
judgment, bail money, cash bonds or
other kindred deposits which all have to
await final settlement of cases, and
which are entered in our books under
the head of general Deposits" and
which belong to something like 400 ac-
counts which, if they were simulta-
neOusly closed, would not justify my
continuing to advance cash to defray
court expenses as under the practice in
question, the Audit Act prohibiting the
Treasury from advancing any money as
was the custom in years gone by.
Moreover, ii was not so much the
recent order of Judge Humphreys as it
was my anticipation, (when I wrote to
Mr.. Porter in Hilo,) that future orders
might be made not only by a judge of
the circuit court, but might be by the
Chief Justice too, which would affect
denosits other than trust funds. The
custom of advancing the cash as afOre-
said was purely voluntary, and |
thought the time had arrived to dis
continue it irrespective of any order
This is now a new era, and past models
are liable to be changed.
Very respectfuilY

The clash between Judge Humphreys,
of the Circuit Court, and the Chief
Justice, which has been pending for
sometime, came today but in such a
way that it may be called surprising.
The Circuit Judge used a second letter
make the attack. When the first let
ter came out yesterday it was suppos-
ed that there would be a lapse for de-
velopments. Not so, however. Judge
Humphreys this morning wrote the
second one, a letter bristling with
charges and singing comment.
There is now no doubt but that there
is war on between the First Judge of
the First Circuit and the Chief Justice.
The letter of Judge Humphreys, print
ed below, shows that. The interview
with Chief Justice Frear, which was
written out by the Chief Justice him
self emphasizes it, Henry Smith, chief
clerk of the Supreme Court, is merely
the man over whose shoulders the bat
tie is being fought. He does not figure
in the trouble at all save as target,
the bullets against which affects the
chief Justice indirectly.
There have been persistent rumors
for months of bad feeling between
Judge Humphreys and certain members
of the Supreme Court. 1t seemed to
date from the signing of contrary views
in the Marshall and Edwards cases.
Whether from this time or before, or
after it is certain that today the breach
is most serious, and a condition of af-
fairs is presented that never before is
accounted in the history of the judi
ciary department of Hawaii.
Judge Humphreys second letter is
dated December 13, but was really writ
ten today, the 12. 1t is addressed tc
Judge Little of Hilo. and is as follows
