The case of the Japanese procurers
came on regularly before Justice Frear
in Supreme court this morning. Fol-
lowing the postponement of yesterday

Fifteen defendants were arraigned. In
the courtroom were Theo. Richards, H.
e. Coleman and several others interest
ed in the conviction of the procurers.
The first case called, and one that will
be a test for the others, was that of
Ugichi. The witness called was a wom-
an named Uni. She testified that the
defendant had purchased her from her
husband last year for $780, Subsequent
ly he left for Japan Her purchaser
then made her enter a house of i'll re-
pute and follow it's business. She
earned SO to $4 a day, all of which her
owner took, giving her only enough to
live upon. All the details of the trans
action and the business carried on since
were brought out in the woman's story.
1t Is understood that this will be a
legal points will be argued. The case
is on again this afternoon, starting at

IHE NKAHALA'S 5 ODD FIND

a small rat terrier swimming about
in the open sea, was the strange sight
encountered by those on board the
steamer Mikahala on her last trip 10
Kauai. The dog was lost in the water
but was bravely keeping afloat, swim
ming for dear life. She was picked up
by the steamer and brought to Homo
lulu and is none the worse for her odd
experience.
How the little dog got to where she
was found is an uneXplainable mystery.
When seen by the officers on the Island
steamer she was something like twenty
miles from shore in the channel be
tween here and Kauai, and 1t is thought
that If her route could be traced she
would be found to have established a
noteworthy record as swimmer. she
was so far from land that there was
not the slightest chance for her ever
getting back by her own efforts, ana
If she had not been seen from the Mi
ks hala she must soon have been eX-
hausted. 1t is thought possible that
the dog was carried out by the tide.
She may have gone into the water on
some beach and have got so far from
shore that the tide took her out to the
open sea Another theory is that she
was washed or thrown overheard from
some vessel. All that the Mikahala
people know is that she was there
paving the waves and looking rol
something to land on, and showing
signs that she was nearly at the end OF
her strength. She was made quite a
| pet of on board the steamer, and every
| one had a theory as to how she got 81

FOR STAGE PROPERTIES |
FIRE PROOF ADDITION TO THE
OPERA HOUSE.
When Completed This Theater viii
Have as Well Arranged Stage as
Any in the States.

A big addition is being made to the
rear of the Hawaiian Opera House.
When It Is completed the stage of this
pretty theater will be as well equipped
for handling and storing scenery and
properties as any theater in the States.
The addition is really storage room
for scenery and stage properties. The
amount and variety of these which
have from time to time been secured
for the opera house make it as finely
appointed in this respect as any in the
United States. The addition now being
built will give adequate storage room
for it and enable it to be handled and
taken care of according to the best
methods of modern stage science.
The addition, the foundations for
which are already being laid, will be
fire proof and will have fire proof COM
lnunicating doors to the stage and all
the appliances necessary for eXpedi-
tious handling of scenery.
The improvements will be completed
in time for the engagement of the
Neill Company which is coming here at
an early date.

A JOB ON MIDWAY ISLAND
THIS is A POST FOR A LOVER OF
SOLITUDE.
Captain Pond Going With the Tug IrO-
quois to Survey for a Gable Station
A Perilous Locality.

Uncle Sam is going to build a house
on one of the far-off Midway islands,
to be a home for some one who will
take care of a cable station, and the
U. S. tug Iroquois, Captain Pond, In
getting ready to leave on a surveying
expedition to report to Washington as
to the best place for the station. The
man who takes the Midway island job
Will have one of the loneliest posts in
the world. The islands are mere dots
on the broad Pacific, not even large
enough to be worth mark on an or
dinary map, and they are swept by
storms which make their locality n
place of great danger to mariners Cap
tain Walker of City of Columbia fame,
was once wrecked on Midway island.
and ii was IA months before he got
away. The captain says he has seen
waves break sixty feet high over the
barrier of coral reef that enCloses the
islands, so the little Iroquois is likely to-
have a lively time.
There are two bits of land at Midway
Islands, neither of them over a square
mile in area, so that the prJs )cctNe
cable station man cannot have n very
big ranch to roam over. 1t will be
almost like living on a rock in mid
ocean one of the riaccs of land, the
larger, is called Sand Island on account
of its sandiness. 1t has very little veg
citation. The other is known as East
ern Island and is more fertile, but IL
is quite a bit smaller, and this is an
important item, when calculations get
down to one square mile.
Midway islands are about 1900 miles
west northwest of oahu, and constitute
the last group but one of the long strtCh
of small coral islands that extend at in
tervals across the Pacific. Around the
MidWays is a coral reef which is a sort
| of wall, five feet high above the water
and twenty feet wide, about 2j miles
| in circumference. Inside this peculiar
( formation is shallow water, out of
which the two islands rise. There are
rocks and projections innumerable. In
the middle of the big inclosure there Is
| a lagoon of deep water. not connected
| by any channel with the open sea, but
which would make a splendid harbor
if a channel We're made.
Captain Pond will start as soon as
| the IToquois has enough coal and other
| arrangements are complete. His in
! struCtiOns are to make charts of all
parts of the water within the barrier
reef and in the approaches to Seward
roads, which is the best channel for
getting near the islands. The Captain
is to record the depths and the charac-
teristics of the bottom of the shallow
water and to make very complete charts
of the whole region, including the de-
scent outside the reef into deep water
Captain Pond will also lay a complete
Typographical chart of the islands, with
a special chart of Seward roads and
Welles harbor.
The Iroquois will probably he away
about two months on her journey. She
will take all the coal she can carry,
having coal on deck and will so slowly,
occupying six days in the trip down,
so that the coal will hold out.

WE'RE HERE BEFORE.

Quite a large number of the soldiers
on the transport Warren were here be-
fore. There are probably a hundred
among them who passed through Ho-
nolulu with either volunteer or regular
regiments. They reenlisted after re-
turning to their homes. The men who
have been here serve as guides to the
others, although they are themselves
frequently puzzled by the changes In
cident to sanitary fires and new build
ings.
The boys had a good time in Homo
lulu. They reach Manila in the rainy
season and will probably not have field
service in some months.

THE SLOOP CAME RACK.

The schooner Lady, which picked up
fishermen Hollander and Turner from
their wrecked fishing slOop last Satur-
day, returned this morning from visits
to a number of Oahu ports. Turner
and Hollander went to the other side
of the Island yesterday to see if the
sloop that came into Marshal Browns
place was the same one they left. They
found that the returned sloop was
in fact the one from which the Lady
had taken them. She is thought to be
too much damaged for repairing.

PREPARING TO MEET

The native independents will have Il
general meeting of adherents with
view to forming party. Date and
place have not yet been arranged, but
the matter is being worked up today by
the leaders. Quite a number of promi-
nent natives have been spoken to and
have agreed to join in.
The general sentiment of the natives
seems to be to let both the Republican
and Democratic parties alone, and to
put their own tickets into the field.
