.BDLLER' 'SSTEADY ADVANCE
is NEARING LADYsMITH; BOERs
FIGHT HARD.
Dublin Fusileers Volunteer to Take
Grobler's Kloof and Do It--A Fearful
Loss of Life.

LONDON, Feb. 26.ZThe Times pub
fishes the following dispatch from Col
enso, dated Saturday: THE British are
now within two miles of being in touch
with Ladysmith, but the ground still
to be covered is the hardest part, and
very severe fighting must be expected"
LONDON, Feb. H.-The Times has
the following from Pietermaritzberg
dated Friday, February %:
The Dublin Fusileers have again dis
tinguished themselves by volunteering
to take Grobler's Kloof, which they did.
This gallant battalion, which began the
campaign $50 strong, can today be said
to muster on parade only between 100
or 200 of it's original members.
Winston Churchill, in a dispatch to
the Morning Post from Frere Camp,
dated Sunday, says:
The idea that the Beers are raising
the siege of Ladysmith is premature.
The advance is being pursued in the
face of the most stubborn opposition
and of heavy loss. President Kruegers
grandson is among the Beers killed"
Churchill then proceeds to describe
heavy fighting last Friday, in which
the Inniskillings approached within 500
yards of the summit of q rocky Boer
position, and then gallantly charged in
the face of hail of bullets He says:
After repeated attempts, however,
and having lost heavily they recognized
that they were unable to prevail. New
ertheless, they refused to retreat, but
lay down on the slope, behind a shelter
of walls. The Connaughts and the
/ Dublin Fusileers then went to their
support, but the light faded and the
night closed in before the main attack
had developed"
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-A Sun cable
from London, dated February q, says:
Butler continues to meet with severest
| resistance as his heavy casualties tes-
| tify So far he seems to be creeping
slowly forward, each days fighting
closely resembling another's. The sit
uation on the morning of Sunday is
thus described by a correspondent OF
| the Morning Post:
| "Colenso is now our railway base
Our farther advance is confronted by
the formidable Pieters position, stretch
ing from the lofty, waterless hills OF
Doom Kop and around Grober's Klooi
| to the river The advance is now be-
ing pursued in the face of the most
stubborn opposition and heavy loss, bu
the devotion and spirit of all ranks are
admirable, nor will the loss of life dis
courage the soldiers. The men have
set their hearts on relieving Lady
smith,"

CASE DECIDED
THAT ROOSTER MARRIAGE NOT
VALID.
Supreme Court Says Marriage Is Not
Proved At Best-Chinese Woman
Charged With Polygamy.

Ii Shee, the little Chinese woman
who was tried in police court some
months ago on the charge of polygamy
and found guilty, is not guilty, despite
the opiniop of Judge Wilcox.
This is the conclusion of the Supreme
Court, concurred in by Justice Frear
Justice Whiting and Judge Perry. The
woman has been discharged from any
obligation in connection with the mat
ter.
The case will be generally remem-
bered. Shortly after reaching Honolulu
the woman married a Chinaman and
settled on Maui. A second Chinaman
forthwith had her arrested on the
charge of polygamy, alleging that she
had married him by proxy in China.
1t was stated that a rooster had been
used in the ceremony to represent the
yellow-faced kane far away in the land
of President Dole.
All this the woman denied. She ad-
mitted an agreement to marry but re-
pudiated the rooster yarn. Her state
| ment was that she came to Honolulu
to marry John g but that he was so
! ugly that she selected John /, in
stead. She believed she was a free
woman and had right to do as she
pleased in the matter.
Judge Wilcox based his decision on
! the point that marriage recognized
by the laws of China or any other
country must be recognized here, and
found the woman guilty. The Supreme
| Court says simply that this rooster
business is not proved, therefore, a
marriage is not proved, and discharges
! the defendant The court adds that
! it is not necessarily to discuss the val
idity of a Chinese marriage by proxy
! in the present case, as such marriage
has not been satisfactorily proved.
All the parties concerned are quite
prominent in the Chinese colony. AT
the time of the District Court hearing
the room was filled with Cinnamon,
and the evidence was followed most
closely by them. 1t appears that John
2-or the left John-really paid the way
| of the fair one to the Hawaiian Islands

IS NOW A WELL.

There is something decidedly novel
in the foundation of the new Thurston
building on Merchant street It is a
we'll of flowing water that will be util-
lied in the future for fire and other
purposes. When the foundation was
being laid the contractor struck a flow
ing stream and tried to pump it dry.
He soon found that he was working on
a syphon, the two ends of which were
tributary. 1t was then decided to turn
bad thing into a good thing, and the
we'll was walled. There is now a tap on
the top on which an engine pipe may
be fastened at will and water in any
quantity drawn. 1t is claimed that the
water after seeping through the sand,
is clear of salt.

HAY-PAUNCEFoTE TREATY.
President and Cabinet Desire Its Rati-
fication.


WASHINGTON, February 26.-As
there have been many rumors about
the attitude of the Administration in
regard to the Hay-Pauncefote conven-
ton, it may be stated as the result OF
careful inquiry that the President and
Cabinet are unanimous in its support:
that they all consider it's provisions the
best that could have been obtained and
the best now obtainable; that conse-
quentlY they all desire it's early rati-
tication; that there is no intention of
Withdrawing. and no belief that 1t can
ben amended to any great extent with
out destroying all hope Of its ratifica-
tion.
furthermore, 1t has been the opinion
of Secretaries Olney, Day and Hay, in
which they say they have the support
of the best international lawyers of the
country. that the Clayton Bulwer
treaty is in full force and effect, and
that 1t cannot legally be got rid of eN-
cept by mutual consent. II the treaty
now before the Senate is rejected, in
the opinion of the Administration no
legislation can be had for the building
of an isthmian canal except through
the repudiation of the Clayton Bulwer
compact.

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE.
The Police Department Asked to Find
Algernon Shaw.

The police department has received
inquiries from Mrs. Shaw in the United
States, asking information concerning
her son Algernon Shaw, whom she has
not heard from for months.
Algernon Shaw made several trips as
an employe of the stewards department
of the Australia. He was an artist OF
considerable facility in drawing. He
secured a position on Austin's Ha-
waiian Weekly about August 1, but
suddenly and mysteriously disappeared
a few days later, leaving a big portfolio
of drawings in Mr.. Austin's office. He
was last seen August 5. The United
States transports Newport and Ohio
sailed for Manila late that day, and
it is now thought possible that he
slowed away on one or the other OF
them, as he had spoken about wanting
to go to Manila. His experience on the
Australia would enable him to stow
away. If he did not leave in this way,
1t is thought possible that he may have
been shanghaied on some sailing vessel
leaving for long voyage.
Sanitary sub-inspectors are requested
to report if they have the man, Alger-
non F.. Shaw on their lists.

HOW TO SAVE DOCTOR BILLS.

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We keep
a bottle open all the time and when
ever any of my family or myself begin
to catch cold we begin to use the Cough
Remedy, and as a result we never have
to send away for a doctor and incur a
large doctor bill, for Chamberlain
Cough Remedy never fails to cure. 1t
is certainly a medicine of great merit
and worth.-D. S. Mearkle, General

NO PLAGUE, AND NO SIGNS OF
PLAGUE.
Mr.. Levy Is Out Of Danger, and viii
Soon Be Up-Call Doctors Have An
Easy Time of 1t.

Today-Plague deaths, O; plague
cases, O.; suspicious cases, o.
This has been another clear day in
plague circles. There has not been a
case exciting the least particle of sus-
picion. In fact the call doctors of the
Health Board have had nothing to do.
Clerk Levy of the Hawaiian Hotel,
is still in excellent condition. His tenn
perature ranges about 9S.2, and pulse
rotates between 81 and 20, which is nor
NAL. Were it not for the susceptibility
to relapse, he might be considered al
most as nearly we'll man as many
others on the streets. DR.. Hoffman is
still working on the cultures. The iden-
tity of that awful bacillus found the
first night is still not established. It
is expected that it may be determined
tomorrow. AS for the young man, per-
sonally, there is no longer any fear.
All he requires is care, and he is re-
ceiving the very best of that.
The call doctors are this afternoon
investigating three cases of illness re-
ported by the Sanitary Committee. One
is a Mrs. A, Mitchell on Punchbowl
street, and the other two are natives.
1t is not belived that there is any
thing in either of the cases.
Early this afternoon DR.. lobe exam
ined the men on the steamer Jane 8
Makee, and soon after that vessel went
into quarantine.
Reports from Kalihi detention camp
today are most encouraging. DR. How
ard has the situation there completely
in hand. There is very little sickness
and none of a serious nature.

THE QUARANTINE WHARF.

A new difficulty has been met with
at the quarantine wharf. 1t will require
considerable amount of dredging be-
fore all of the room can be utilized.
Minister Young stated this morning
that in present conditions only one
vessel of any considerable draught can
approach the landing at a time. How
ever this is ample for immediate needs.
The work of dredging will take about
six weeks. Mr.. Cotton, the contractor.
has been instructed to go ahead and
complete the wharf and that the gov
ernment would look after the other
matter

CONFLICT OF LAW.

Two women registered under the act
to mitigate, were brought before the
district court yesterday charged under
the statute prohibiting prostitution.
The fact that they were registered un-
der the provisions of one law, was
presented as legal proof that they were
guilty of violating another. Judge
Wilcox sentenced them to five days i'm
prisonment, but expressed the hope
that their counsel would take an ap-
peal so as to get a supreme court con-
struction of the relations and effect of
the two laws, for the guidance of trial
courts in such cases.

A BAD BRIDGE

School street bridge, between Fort
and Nuuanu, is in a very dangerous
condition, and demands the immediate
attention of the new road supervisor
few days ago a horses hoof went
through the planking, making a wide
hole. Somebody placed a large rock in
the opening, but this has since been
removed. Aside from this particular
defect the planking of the bridge is
worn so that a horse is liable to break
through at any point at any time.

The big barn on the Mrs. Emmett
Gardner farm two miles northwest of
Leon was destroyed by fire last Thurs.
day night. The fire was first discovered
about q quarter of ten by Bert Gardner
who was just going to bed. He hastily
ran to the barn, but when he reached it
the loft was all on fire and the flames
bursting through the roof. There was
no fire on the ground floor except what
was dropping down through the hay
and grain chutes. There were four
head Of horses tied in the barn and
Bert tried to get them out but could
not succeed and all four were burned,
The barn also contained about 800
bushels of corn, 8 tons of hay, $50 bush.
els of millet seed, sets of double and l
set of single harness, and several plowe
and other farm implements, which were
all destroyed. The barn was large
and good one 24x54 feet. The loss on
barn and contents Is estimated at $1,000.
1t was insured for $500 in the Hawkeye
Go. $500 on the building and $500 on
the contents. The origin of the fire is o
mystery. Bert Gardner Was at the
barn about s O'Clock and is positive
there was no fire around when he left ii,
