STILL URGMVG DEVIL EMG AGAIN MMgM MAIL DELIVERY MS SEASON OPENS THEY PLAN LITTLE COUP
ALL STRIKES AT AN END ON THE
ISLAND.
Japanese Laborers Return to Work Be
fore the Arrival of Their Consul--The
New Conditions.

The Japanese strike on the Island Of
Kauai is at an end. The laborers have
all returned to work, and the managers
are happy that the troubles have been
settled so speedily. The Japs are now
free laborers and at liberty to work or
not, as they wish, but like other labor
ers, they realize that if they don't work
they are likely to be without food and
without a place to sleep in.
The settlement was made before Con-
sui Saito arrived at Kauai. At Lihue
the men all went to work the day be-
fore yesterday and the last of the strik-
ers on the other plantations of the Gar
den Island turned to yesterday. Consul
Saito arrived yesterday and will carry
out his intention of visiting the various
places and giving his countrymen infor-
nation about the new conditions.
The labOrers are freed from the clause
in their contracts which provided that
the plantation should pay 81 or $2 80 a
month from each mans salary to the
immigration companies, the money TO
be kept in trust till the expiration Of
the contracts. Many of the laborers
will continue to have the monthly sum
paid to the companies, as they regard
it as a good way of saving something.
The payment of the money is optional
now, howewver, instead of being a part
of labor contract. Contracts have
been returned to the men all over the
Island of Kauai
The immigration companies received
word this morning by the steamer Mi
kahala that the troubles had all been
adjusted in a satisfactory manner. The
summary strike is attributed to the
work of agitators. The companies are
of the opinion that the news from the
other islands will be about the same.
The laborers at Heeia have all gone
back to work.
A report was current in Honolulu
this morning that 500 Japanese on Wal
alua plantation had gone on strike and
were coming to Honolulu, to demand
the return of money paid in, from the
immigration companies. Inquiries by
telephone at Waialua were answered by
the statement that there was nothing
in the story and that there is no strike
at all on that plantation.

ARE YOU Enumerated?
IF NOT, THE CENSUS BUREAU
WANTS YOU.
Closing Up the Census of Honolulu
Enumerators Turning in Their Books
Final Revisions Being Made.

The census bureau is finishing up the
work of the census for Honolulu. Most
of the enumerators have finished and
have turned in their books, and Special
Agent Bigelow, who has immediate
charge of this part Of the census is re-
vising and correcting the work, and
seeing that everything is in perfect
shape. For the department at Wash
ingtOn will not tolerate incomplete or
slovenly work.
A number of people have notified the
census departments that they were not
included in the census. All these re-
ports are thoroughly looked into, and in
most cases it has been found that the
individuals were in fact included in the
enumeration, the enumerator having
secured the information from some 9TH
er member of the family or in other
ways. At the same time, Mr.. Bigelow
says that it is morally certain that
some individuals have been left out.
This is unavoidable on account of peo-
pie being away from home on other
parts of this island, or on the other
islands. No matter how diligent the
enumerators We're some omissions have
in all probability occurred. He there
fore invites people who have been omit
ted from the enumeration to report the
matter to him, and to this end has is
sued the following:
to have any persons who are certain
that they have been overlooked by the
census enumerators, to notify the bu-
reau, postoffice box 294, or telephone 451,
judiciary building"
In many cases enumeratOrs have been
obliged to go to the same house a great
many times before finding anyone who
could give the information required. At
other places, especially among the Jap
anese and Chinese, they have been
obliged to go very early i'm the morning
before the inmates left for their work,
or late at night, after they returned
from their work. Some of the enumera-
tors have worked on Sunday because
they could find people at home then who
could not be found at any other time,
1t is believed that the census taken
at this time will be one of the most
complete ever taken Of the Islands, SIM
ply considered as an enumeration, and
in other respects its scope is very much
broader than has ever been attempted
here before.

STANLEY's INTERESTING RULING
THIS MORNING.
Thinks Old Maritime Cases Belong to
Territorial Courts-Opinions on the
Point at Variance-Other Matters.

In the matter Of the Wilder Steam
ship Company vs.. the ship John G. Pot
ter, libel for salvage, Judge Stanley
This morning filed the following decis-
ion: "The respondent in the above en-
titled cause pleads TO the jurisdiction of
this court herein and claims that the
District court of the United States for
the Territory of Hawaii, is vested with
full and exclusive jurisdiction within
the Territory of Hawaii of all matters
of admiralty or maritime Jurisdiction
This would be undoubtedly true in the
case of all proceedings instituted on or
subsequent to the fourteenth of
June, 1900, but, as said cause was pend
ing in the Circuit court of the First
Circuit of the Republic of Hawaii on the
said fourteenth day of June it should
in my opinion be carried on to final
judgment and execution in the Circuit
court of the First Circuit of the Terri
tory of Hawaii. Sec section 10, chapter
/, of the act to provide a government
for the Territory of Hawaii. Plea to
the jurisdiction is accordingly over
ruled"
The decision is interesting for the
reason that it creates or draws atten-
tion to an anomalous situation. Some of
the lawyers contend that on June Ia the
authority of the Territorial courts over
maritime matters ceased absolutely and
that any cases pending passed to the
! United States court. An appeal will
be taken. Whether the Supreme court
can settle the contention opens a new
question. In the minds of some law
yers a settlement will have to be
reached by compromise between the
United States and Territorial courts.

FIRST PERFORMANCES AT OPERA
HOUSE TONIGHT.
'An American Citizen" VIII be the
Initial Bill-Remarkable Success Of
the star and His Admirable Company.

II will be with a curious and cordial
spirit that Honolulu will attend the first
Neill performance at the Opera House
THIS evening, yet there seems to be no
noise of controversy over the superior
merits of Mr.. Neill and his famous com
pany; all according them the first place
among high class repertoire organiza-
tiOns Of the states
The present western tour of Mr. NeiIl
and the Neill Company has been a re-
markable one in several respects They
have visited many cities new to them
as strangers to the public, yet at the
very first performances everywhere
patrons of the Neil performances have
been impressed with Mr.. Neirs tai
ents, and in a dash he has scaled the
fortress of the soul and the garrison
of doubts and questions have uncondi-
tionally surrendered The class of plays
that are in the Neill repertoire are all
wholesome and pure, and the best that
the theatrical market has to offer
The first play that the organization
will offer here this evening will be Nat
GoodWin's greatest comedy success.
AN American Citizen" Like many
others in the Neill repertoire it is the
best sample of it's class among the most
prominent latter day stage successes.
Many of Honolulu's prominent citi-
zens have received letters from social
friends in the States stating that the
Neill Company is entitled to the most
liberal patronage, and that it certainly
stands at the head of companies of
similar nature that adorn the stage of
America.
To break a lance in the defense Of
such actors as James Neill and such
pure and wholesome plays as are in the
Neill repertoire, would be an honor:
but there will be no occasion, for e1-
perience in other cities has shown the
result that after one sees the first Neill
performance, all are James Nells
champions, and the tournament of a
doubt resolves itself into a court of ad-
miration.
toire from which selections will be
made for presentation here during the
cOmpany's stay, are: Lord Chumey,"
one Of +. II. Sothern's successes; cap
tain Lattarblair." another Sothern suc-
cess; Captain Swift" c. Haddon
Chambers powerful drama; "The Way
to Win a Woman" Amy Robsart."
dramatizAsior Of Sir'vN.altsi SCOTS
"KeniwOrth." The Neill Company has
the first call on about all of the promi-
nent successes Of the past ten years.
so that about the quality of the dra-
matte feasts to which Honolulu is bid
den at the opera house, there can be no
question. The company carries a very
large amount of special scenery and
specially designed effects. and it's stage
settings have been described bv critics
elsewhere as artistic to a high degree.

WHAT INDEPENDENTS PURPOSE
DOING.
VIII Play a Game Of Tag with Cover
nor Dole on the Experimentation
of the Leaders Talks interestingly.

The native Independents are planning
a coup on Governor Dole that may bring
about an unusual situation. in case IL is
carried out. Information concerning it
comes from one of their leaders. and
may be taken as authoritative.
In the past two weeks the Indepen-
dents have been watching closely the
course of President Mckinley in max
ing appointments here. They have be-
come dissatisfied because only one ma
tive, Judge j. w. Kalua received rec
OgnitiOn at Washington In their opin-
ion the government intends following
a policy that will not give them what
they consider proper representatives.
we will get men in i'm spite of Nc
Kinley and Dole declared the leader.
The Hawaiians now have fun rights,
ana we purpose exercising them. AS
matters now stand this is a haole gov
ernment and the natives have nothing.
What would you think if the entire gov
ernment was native and the whites
were represented by but one man, and
he judge i'm country district ! dare
say there would be some loud kicking
and perhaps trouble
THE Hawaiians will control the next
Legislature. That is a foregone conolu-
sion, because we have the votes and
viii stand together 1t is there that
our work will be done. The statement
has been made that if we fail to APP
prove the appointments Of the Governor
that he will wait until the session is
over and Teappoint the same men again.
We are as sharp as the men devising
this little scheme. If any such business
as that suggests itself we will simply
cut down the salaries of important Of
ficers to so a month. Then where will
Dole be, and what will he do? He viii
simply have to make satisfactory ap-
pointments, and when this is done we
will raise the salaries again. That is
one line along which we will work.
Does it not promise success?"
The speaker went on to say that at
least half Of the important offices would
be held by natives, and that no other
arrangement would be satisfactory to
the Independent Legislature. He said
that J A. McCandless. superintendent
of public works would be turned down,
and that the legislature would insist
upon the appointment of j II. Boyd to
this post. Other offices were mentioned,
but plans with respect to them seem not

HORRIBLE DEATH OF SEAMAN
DE BAR.
of His Drowning Indicated
by the Finding Of the Body Last
Night-The Inquest.

The finding of the body OF the drown
ed seaman Jules De Bar solved the
mystery of why he never rose to the
surface after he sank for the first time,
in the sight of his comrades. The un-
fortunate man appears to have been
seized by large cuttlefish or squid and
held down on the bottom of the harbor
till he drowned. The remains show
where the devil fish had it's tendons on
his body, and the monster had eaten
away some of the flesh before the body
finally rose to the surface.
De Bars body was found last night
within a few feet of the spot where he
sank 1t was seen floating in the water
by the janitor of the Healani boat
house. He telephoned to the police and
the remains were taken to the Williams
undertaking parlors. Part of the face
was eaten away, and the body present
ed most horrible appearance. 1t had
apparently been in the grasp of the
monster for many hours.
De Bars body rose to the surface just
after the dropping of the anchor of a
small launch at the place where his
companions watched him sink. 1t is
supposed that the anchor fell on the
squid and produced enough disturbance
to cause it to release the hold it had.
This is the police theory to account for
tn sudden rising of the body to the sur
face, afr it had been twenty-four hours
under water. 1t flOated on the surface
till the undertaken came to carry it
away.
The drowning of De Bar was remark
able in that the body never rose to the
surface after it first sank 1t is well
known that drowning persons usually
rise and sink several times and those
who were trying to rescue the sailor
watched for him to rise, but never saw
him after he went under. They sup
posed that a strong current had carried
him away, though native swimmers
say that there is no current at that
place where the tragedy occurred. 1t is
now thought that when the drowning
man sank to the bottom for the first
time he was seized by the long, power
full tendons of the Shiny monster at the
bottom, and held there till he drowned.
There are many squid at the mouth of
the channel
devil fish large enough to hold a
man on the ocean bed is no new thing
in these waters. Deputy High Sheriff
Chillingwortf recalls tho case of a ma
tive diver who was similarly seized
some years ago by one of the horrible
sea-monsters. The man diVed to the
bottom of the harbor in a shallow spot
and soon his companions noticed that
he did not rise. His feet were seen just
below the surface and it seemed as if
he were fastened to the ocean bed. They
grasped his feet and pulled him up,
after considerable effort, and with him
came a large squid The squid was
fastened to his head It's tendons had
penetrated through his mouth and nose
and had a grasp that nothing could
loosen till the fish was killed. In a few
moments he would have drowned and
the disgusting fish would have had it's
prey secure.
coroner's jury will sit in the case of
De Bar this afternoon. The jurors are
Samuel Kuby, j. Richardson, j. D.
Tregloan, d. Schoenfeld, ]. j. McDo-
nald and j. b. German.
