lASTARDLY MURDER
COMMITTED At 00kALA.
4 Chinaman Literally Hacked to
Pieces While in a Deep Stupor
From the Use of Opium.

From the Use OF Opium.
The Noeau, which arrived from
Hamakua yesterday, brings news of
most dastardly murder at Ookala on
the sth inst. A Chinaman. stupehed
with opium. was literally hacked to
pieces with cane knives while he slept.
His body was a mass of cuts and
slashes and his head was nearly severed
from his body Who the perpetrators
of the bloody deed are is not known.
1t does not appear that the murder was
done for robbery, as nothing seemed
to have been disturbed in the shaaty
where the man lived. He was found
with life almost extinct. Medical as
sistance was given as soon az possible,
but when the Noeau left Ookala there
was no hope that the mans life could
be saved. He can give no account of.
how the affair happened, as he claims
be was asleep at the time the cutting
took place. He woke up TO find HIM
self ali hacked to pieces and managed
to call for help.
No clue has been found up to the
time that the Noeau left for Honolulu.
but the authorities were holding an in
vestigation and hoped to be able TO
place the blame. The man was not
known to have had any enemies, and
could give no reason for the attack on
him.
He was laborer on the Ookala PLAN

The territory intends opening up
some new land in a very short time.
A tract of land situated at HULA will
be opened under the homestead lease
system. The lots contain only about
ten or fifteen acres each. This tract
will be placed on the market in about
a week.
A tract of land consisting of about
1000 acres, situated near Hamakua,
will be placed on the market in short
time. Although a little too high for
cane. the land is admirably suited for
the production of farm produce, etc.
There is still another desirable piece
of land in kona that the government
has decided to open to settlers. At
present no road extends to the land,
but one of the land offices employees is
now there investigating matters. There
are about $500 acres in the piece.

The overtures 20 Germany on .he sub
iect of the open door were made by Am
bassador White in accordance with the
following note to him from Secretary Hay:
Washington. September 8.
Sir: At the time when The Government
of the United States was informed by that
of Germany that i, had leased from His
Majesty the Emperor of China the port
of Kiao- Chou and the adjacent territory
in the province OF ShanUung assurances
were given to the Ambassador OF the
United States at Berlin by the Imperial
German Minister for Foreign Affairs that
the tights and privileges ensured by
treaties with China 10 citizens OF the
United States would not thereby suffer or
be in any wise impaired within the area
over which Germany had thus obtained
control.
More recently, however, the British
Government recognized by formal
agreement with Germany the ex-
elusive right of the latter country to en-
Joy in said leased area and the contiguous
sphere OF influence or interest certain
privileges more especially those relating TO
railroads and mining enterprises; but. as
the exact nature and extent of the rights
thus recognized have not been clearly de-
fined it is possible that serious conflicts
of interest may at any time arise, not only

tons from Secretary Hay.
Jnpan's willing Assent. zoe

Jnpan's Willing Assent.
The Japanese Governments reply was as
follows:
Your Excellency that the Imperial Gov
eminent will have no hesitation to give
their assent to so just and fair a proposal
OF the United States, provided that all the
other powers concerned shall accept the
same"
Count Muravieff. Russian Minister of
Foreign Affairs sent his answer on Deem
Der is. 1899 He said:
In SO far as the territory leased by
China TO Russia is concerned. the Impe-
rial Government has already demonstrated
Its firm intention to follow the policy OF
the open door by creating Dalny (TaIien-
wan a free port; and II at some future
time that port although remaining free
itself, should be separated by customs
limit from other portions OF the territory
in question. the customs duties would be
levied, in the zone subject to the tariff
upon all foreign merchandise without dis
tinction as to nationality.
LAS to the ports now opened or here
after to be opened to foreign commerce
by the Chinese Government and which
lie beyond the territory leased to Russia,
the settlement of the question of customs
duties belongs to China herself. and the
Imperial Government has no intention
whatever of claiming any privileges for
it's own subjects to the exclusion Of other
foreigners. II is to be understood. how
ever, that this assurance of the Imperial
Government Is given upon condition that
similar declaration shall be made by
other powers having interests in China
with the conviction that this reply is
such as to satisfy the enquiry made in the
aforementioned note, the Imperial Gov
eminent is happy to have complied with
the wishes of the American Government,
especially as 1t attaches the highest value
to anything that may strengthen and con-
solidate the traditional relations of friend
ship existing between the two countries"
