THE JUDGE
The Police Objected To
MahauIa.
All CHEZ BEFORE WILCOX
Case Transferred From Court Of
Waialua Jurist and Tried
Here.

The liquor case against All Chez, the
Waialua Chinese who was arrested on
the complaints of Policemen Maitland
and Kelly, who allege they paid the
Chinaman marked silver dollars for
which they received bottled liquor in
return, was tried before Judge Wilcox
yesterday morning and afternoon.
Former Judge w. l.. Stanley appeared
for the defendant, Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingworth prosecuting. All Chee's case
was one which Judge Mahaula dismiss
ed at Waialua nearly two weeks ago
on the ground that the officers testi-
mony as to the number of marked dol
lars paid over to the Chinaman were
sufficient to warrant him in Diminishing
the charge against the alleged offender
In opening the case High Sheriff
Brown took occasion to state publicly
his private opinion of Judge Mahaula s
action in summarily Diminishing the
action from his court on the grounds
above stated. Judge Stanley objected
to the case being transferred from
Judge Mahaula's jurisdiction to that of
Judge Wilcox. Although a recent ap-
pointee to the bench, Judge Stanley
stated Judge Mahaula was well known
in the community and to the district
court of Honolulu
1T is a breach of decorum on the
part Of the police department to trans
fer the case to this court said Judge
STANLEY, because he gave decision
against the Deputy Sheriff"
Sheriff Brown stated alphabetically in
reply that although the transfer might
De considered slur upon Judge Ma
haula, yet he felt it was only right
believing that fair and impartial trial
at w aialua was not to be had. He init
mated that one experience in court
work before Judge Mahaula was
enough for him.
Despite the fact that we had plenty
OF evidence In the last case before him -
continued the Sheriff, I'VE lost it. We
do not accuse the Judge of corrupt
practices or motives, but the last case
was dismissed upon grounds which
were frivolous and immaterial TO the
issue. We had plenty of evidence in this
case, but believe the defendant would
secure an acquittal if tried before the
Waialua judge"
The High Sheriff gave way to Mr.
stanley, who stated that the formers
ueciaratlonS were equal to an accusa-
uon against Judge Mahaula of corrupt
motives and said the transfer of the
case was due to a disgruntled police
department
Ills Honor decided that the case was
transferred in proper form and he
would hear it. He cited case which
was taken out of his own court and
transferred to that of Judge Perry. He
ADMITTED that he didn't feel sorry or
sighted by the action.
ihe case was finished late in the
AFTERNOON and was taken under advise
ment by Judge Wilcox.

Story of Battle of zand River Station
HOW SEYMOUR DIED
Encouraged by Success in Capturing the Derbyshires, Several Hundred Boers Attacked Volunteer Rail way Pioneer Corps Giving Them Severe Engagement But Were Finally Beaten Back.

London. July IA correspondent of the Mail, writing from Bloemfontein. June 17, says:
 The enemy's attempts to interrupt our communications have at last received a decided check, and one which reflects force
 Emboldened, apparently, by the re- cent Boer success in capturing the Derbyshires, a commando, supposed to be about 800 to 700 men, and under the leadership of two men, Borman and Muller, attacked Virginia, otherwise known as the Zand River station, just as daybreak appeared on Thursday morning.
 The Zand River bridge was badly damaged during the Boer flight north, and to repair it $50 of the railway pio- neer corps, men who were volunteers for this particular work but not regu-- lar combatants, happened to be at the( spot when the attack was delivered They thus fortunately increased the tiny garrison of 250 Royal Lancasters. under Colonel North, and with them fought shoulder to shoulder
 After the successful operations north of Kroonstadt it appears that Lord Kitchener anticipated an attack would be made on Virginia and warned the local commandant, Colonel Capper, of the Royal Engineers, the officer who re- paired Norvals Pont bridge, to be on his guard.
 Accordingly Colonel Capper carefully entrenched the place, and a strict watch was kept for the enemy. The first appearance of daylight yesterday showed the Boers were all round and in position and heavy rife fire was opened at once. The enemy in addi- tion, used a pom-pom and one 12- pounder
 The attack, furious though it was. was met with unfiinching courage, and heavy fighting lasted well into the af- ternoon.
 Early in the day MT. Louis Seymour. the American mining engineer. @o1 was chief of the Eckstein g36up of Rand mines, was shot dead by an ex- plosive bullet in the forehead, while Lieutenant Clements, also of the Rand, was badly wounded and has since died. Five privates of the railway pioneers were also killed, while seven wounded are now being removed to the south.
 Things might have gone hard with the British forces had not it been for 1S0 of the Northumberland Hussars be- | longing to the Imperial Yeomanry, who opportunely arrived from the south and went into action with great dash and brilliancy.

Will Plant His Banners on Walls of Pekin
ALL BUT CONFIRMED
Though Yesterdays Washington Dis patches Gave a Slight Ray of Hope, News From All Other Points Tended to Strengthen Gen eral Belief in the Stories of Chinese Butchery.

Berlin, July 7.-The news from China overwhelms everything hers- The usually quiet self contained German nation, both high and low, has become deeply nervous. Every bit of news from China is commented on heatsdly everywhere. Opinions differ locally among the masses, but the majority believe with the government that the Chinese situation is most serious. It is expected before long that the weight fest decisions must be taken. Emperor William will on Monday accompany the German ironclad division. bound for China, into the North ssa-
 It is known in the emporors' en- torrage that his majesty. in his usual impulsive way. not only gave utter. ance to many diplomatic thoughts and opinions on the news of the assassina- ton Of the German minister at Pellin, but could with difficulty be restrained from following the dictat5s of his heart ana forthwith ordering a regular army corps to be mobilized and sent to China. The emperor's remarks to the marines at Wilhelmshavan was much more strongly worded than cf
 ficially reported, and the newspapers of Wilhelmshaven and that vicinity published the original version, in which was the following: ''I hope to re-es tablish peacezwith the sword and take vengeance in a manner nevsr before seen by the world. I send you to erad- icate the dishonor done to the father land by barbarians. I shall not rest until the German colors fly from the Pskin wall"

NEWS STILL D1scouRAG1NG.


 London. July s.-There is nothing in the few dispatches received last night to add to the ray of hope regarding the fate of the legations at Pekin by yes terday's dispatches from Washington and messages from other sources in dicating that the legations were still standing on July 3, and that the recent attacks by the Boxers had been slight. News from other points was distinctly disquieting. A report from Che Foo, dated July ', says a Catholic bishop, two priests and two nuns have bzen murdered.
 A report from Moukden, dated July 3, says the Danish mission at Han Yum was surrounded by Boxers. Accord ing to the report it would be possible to hold out only two days. A party of cossacks, residents of Moukden, and a British consul had started for the relief of those besieged at the Danish mis- sion. The situation at Tien Tsin on July 3 is said to have been most seri- ous. The Japanese and Russian forces are reported to have been hurrying there from Taku, but according to some accounts, mutual distrust exists be- tween the allies. A report from Shanghai, dated July ', says the Brit for the purpose of prevs ntfng any at tempt of the Chinese to cross the Yang Tse Kiang.

AMERICANS MAY WIN.
In the Open English Athletic Cham

New York, July 7.-The open En- glish athletic championships, began to- day. near London. Thirty or more of as me athletes as ever trod the cinder path, representatives of the University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, Yale, Georgetown Columbia, and other prominent American universities, will compete for honors with the crack amateurs of England's leading educa- tional institutions and athletic clubs, and followers of the sport on this side of the Atlantic confidently hope that the Americans may win and thereby even up the defeats sustained by Yale and other American college teams who have gone to England in previous years.
 The prospects of American success are considered unusually bright. Tue men selected to carry the Stars and Stripes to the front are the best that the collegiate track and field of this country has produced in recent years. Pennsylvania is represented by thirteen men, Princeton seven, Syracuse five. Georgetown four, Chicago four, and the New York Athletic club five, the later including Yale and Columbia men,

AMERICAN RELIEF FORCES.

Washington, July 1.-The issue to- day of formal orders for the dispatch to the east of more than six thousand troops from the army posts in the United States was a manifestation of the energy with which the government is now about to act in the Chinese matter. True, these troops are nomi- nally destined for the Philippines to replace the volunteers now there, but it is admitted that they are bsing sent out by route that will easily admit of a dehection to Taku or some other convenient Chinese port. Possibly Consul-General Goodnow's cablegram representing the legation as being ac- tive as late as the Sd instant may have had something to do with this radical action. Whatever the cause. if these troops are landed in China, together with the Ninth infantry. supposed to be now at Taku. and the marine and naval contingent. the United States will have a force in action commen- surate with her interests and in pro portion to the European forces. Japan is to begin today with tha full consent of Europe, and it is calculated that the full foreign endorsements. in cluding our own, will arrive in China, If they are landed at all. in season to finish the work left ty the Japanese.

A NEW TIME MEASURE
An Hour Contains 100 Minutes in the
 Coldwater District.

The case of C. c. Dixon, charged with threatening the life of A. L. Baker and Charles M. Gillett. his partners in a pumping plant on the Agua Fria, was heard in Justice Johnstone's court Fri day. Dixon was put under a peace bond of s2O0 and promised to not let it happen again.
 The quarrel arose over the time al- lowed for using the water. There was a great deal of evidence on that point and all the witnesses for the territory testified that each man interested in the water was allowed under the rules to use it 1.-two hours and seventy-five minutes" When the first witness em- ployed that expression it was sup posed to be a slip of the tongue. but all of the other witnesses used the same words.
 The justice asked one of them why he didn't say "three hours and fifteen minutes" You can figure it any way you want to-" was the reply, and call it what you please, but in the rules Of the company it is two hours and sev- enty-five minutes.''' g
 A young lady school teacher who was in court laughed immoderately when ever this expression was used and kept it up until the court, who knew that at one time she had taught school in the Coldwater district, where this disturb ance occurred, accused her of being at the bottom of the mistake; that she had introduced the decimal or metric system of counting time and had taught that one hundred minutes make an h0lr
