The Campania was little injured. but
had a narrew escape from serious disas-

At Tuskar light the fog was becoming
deeper every moment. when the Campa-
MIA was about thirty miles northeast of
the light, phantom ship rose suddenly,

THE GERMAN BARK SOLIDE's
UNLUCKY TRIP.
Had to Put i'm to Falmouth After Leav-
ing Hamburg-Thought Honolulu an
American Port.

The German bark Solide, 173 days
from Hamburg and l52 from Falmouth.
made port this morning with 1900 tons
of freight on which American tariffs
will be collected, making the trip prob
ably losing game in consideration of
the unexpected tariff and the very long
voyage. The Solide has been expected
for about two months, but she had very
bad luck in weather and was loaded at
Hamburg in a manner that added to
her difficulties.
The Solide's troubles began before she
left European waters. She had three
hundred tons of brick i'm the lower hold
when she left Hamburg. This was too
much weight below and after encoun-
tering stormy weather i'm the North sea
became unmanageable and Captain
Schumacher had to put into Falmouth,
England, to adjust the cargo. He left
Falmouth five months ago and since
then has been slowly making his way
against head winds and bad weather.
OFF the Horn the bark encountered fear
full storms but she lost nothing but
sails, and arrived here this morning in
good condition, except that one of the
masts is a bit the worse for strainng
When the Solide cleared from Ham
burg on the third of last January the
Hawaiian territorial bills passage was
in doubt, and no one could predict when
the Hawaiian Islands would become
American territory. Captain Schuma-
cher this morning expected to find Ha-
waii free port for most of his cargo.
Other Germans of his line with whom
he had consulted in Hamburg told him
that he did not need the elaborate sys-

entry and like recent steamship pur-
sers, he had big job on his hands be-

him resigning from his post. Judge
Hore is an Englishman by birth, but is

Justice Galbraith called on Chief JUS
tice Frear this morning and had a talk
on plans for the present Supreme court
term. 1t was disappointment that the
commissions of the court did not arrive
by yesterdays mall as this would have
permitted immediate organization.
Chief Clerk Henry Smith is having
signs prepared for the court offices to
correspond with the new appointments.
The signs on every door will have to be
changed.
w. .. Smith this morning presented
before Judge Stanley the petition of
Miss Mendoza NJ. Berry to be appointed
guardian of the minor children of the
late Robert Bruce King The matter
was deferred to tomorrow in order that
minor son, who is i'll today, NAV be
present in court. Miss Berry, who Is
engaged in mission work, is an old
friend of the family.
L. Fl. Dee has been appointed admin
istrator of the estate of the late DR..

preliminary inventory places the value
OF the estate at less than $4,000. The
heirs are three children. Charles j.

The matter of the estate of the late

morning, but there being no answer, it
was deferred until moved on.

STRIKES on HAWAII

HILO, June 23.-There have been la
Dor troubles with the japanese on a
number of the plantations on this Is
land. The only place where there has
been violence has been at Puma. There
the laborers quit work on Thursday and
demanded their contracts and their tax
receipts. These We're refused, and lat
er at night, what was thought to be an
attempt on the part of the japanese to
raid the office and secure these doCu-
ments was discovered, and the guards
on duty fired a volley over the heads
OF the raiders. There were a number
of parleys with the plantation manage
ment during the next day or two, with
out much result. Finally the japanese
were told that if they did not go to
work they must leave the plantation.
and could not continue to occupy the
plantation houses and receive the other
perquisites which We're a part of their
contracts, unless they worked With
this ultimatum before them, most of the
men went to work.
At Olaa n demand for the surrender of
their contracts was very promptly met
with the statement that they could
have them, but If they took them they
would not be employed further On the
plantation. There was practically no
trouble here.
There has heen similar trouble at
Waiakea, the Portuguese Mill. and at
Honomu.

tended, and those present all wanted to
hold races. Thre was a good deal of
discussion as to the attitude of the
Fourth of July committee, which has
not yet been heard from. The yachts
men thought that this first Fourth un-
der the American flag should be cele-
brated better than any before, and they
were of the opinion that it was about
time to begin preparations.
The names of sixteen yachts to con-
test were classified as follows First
class, Eva. La Paloma and Hawaii,
cruise to Bird Island or around the
Island; second class, Healani, Helene
and Marion, cruise of 1S miles, third
class, Myrtle, Leowa, Malolo and H.
Mott-Smith's new yacht from New
York, course to be decided upon; fourth
class, Pokii, Anna, Edith l. and Clytie,
course to be decided. r. II. Brotherton
was appointed to interview the Fourth
OF July committee and ascertain what
the committee will do for the celebra-
ton.
