THE NEW LEGISLATURE.
Only Thirty Seven Members of the As

\. \. Lesueur. secretary of state
has issued the usual biennial slips
announcing the names of the newly
elected members of the legislature,
with interesting facts about them.
This years list shows some inter
esting facts. OF 40 members of the
house thirty We're members of the
last general assembly of these
nineteen are democrats and eleven
republicans. Only seven members
have served in sessions other than
that OF 1899, so that only thirty
seven members of the house have had
legislative experience. The number
Is remarkably small. About sixty
members Of the last assembly had
been members OF former assemblies.
The republicans gained two sena-
tors in Jackson county and lost two
in st. Louis. They gained three
members OF the house over 1899 i'm

Louis. The loss in st. Louis exactly
Offsets the gain in Kansas City. In

CHINESE consul OBJECTS.
AFRAID OF NEW PROGRESSIVE
ASSOCIATION.
Tells Government 1t is a Protective
Affair on Highbinder Lines-Attorney
Henshall Explains.

Consul Young Wal Pin has addressed
letter to the Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs in regard to the Government
granting q charter to the Bow Wong
Progressive Association. This society
now has an application for charter be-
fore the Cabinet.
The Consul has evidently lain awake
nights on account of this society. He
enclosed with his letter a set of regula.
tions which he understands is to gov
ern the organization. One clause of
these regulations binds every member
of the association to protect any other
member in case of assault or other in
jury. The principals are stated to be
the same as govern the See Yups and
other organizations of Cinnamon in San
Francisco.
The application for a charter appears
very innocent. 1t states the object of
the society to be simply the improve
ment of the Chinese people, morally,
socially, educationally and in other
ways. 1t is expressly denied that it Is
political or protective body.
On the strength of the consul's pro.
test the Cabinet this morning sent for
Attorney Henshall, who presented the
petition for charter, and asked him to
explain matters. The attorney stoutly
denied that the society was anything
of the order indicated by the Consul
and stated that it's objects were clearly
defined in it's application for a char
ter With this the matter went over
to the next meeting.
The men at the head of the new Chi
nese society are well known. The i'm
preston has gained ground that they
are representatives of the Sam Yups,
although the benefits of the society are
alleged to include all clans of Chinese.
The See Yups have been partially or
ganized here for long time. However,
the clans have pulled nicely together
| and there has never been the friction
so common in San Francisco. The Con-
sui seems to feel that trouble is ahead,
for he writes strongly on the subject.

AT THE ORPHEUM.

r. Hogan's colored minstrels made a
most favorable impression on the town
Saturday evening. The performance
was consistently good throughout, be-
ing marked by a finish that is seldom
seen in minstrel compa MES Every
body, principals and chorus, worked
together with a snap and harmony,
that comes only from good stage
managership and long acquaintance.
and is all the more pleasing when ar
rived at Ernest Hogan, himself is
Americas only representative colored
comedian, using the word in its strict
est sense.
The first part went off well, bringing
out many sweet voices and we'll render
ed songs, If not absolutely new ones.
Dante gave some clever feats in ar
tistic style, covering up one or two lit
tie discrepancies very cleVerly
Altogether the performance is a most
agreeable enlivener and well worth see
ing. The offer by the Hogan's man
agement to play the STARS" a benefit
game of which the receipts should go
to Toyo Jackson's widow, was a kindly
thought and should go far to making
the company popular aside from their
own value as entertainers.

LEGALITY Of THE COURT HDED ENDS IN MURDER
STATUS OF THE SUPREME BENCH
DISCUSSED.
Lawyers In a Quandary-Matter Will
Come Up Again Tomorrow-Routine
Court Business.

The Supreme court opened this MORN
ing under rather unsatisfactory aus
pices For some days it had been ru-
mored that there would be some chal-
lenges of the legality of the court in its
present state, being without head. The
matter did not reach such a crisis,
though it came next to it. Several law
yers expressed a doubt as to the status,
and all agreed that they did not care
to present cases If there was danger
of the hearings being declared invalid
later.
There was considerable discussion of
the subject. The court reached no con-
clusion, but it is understood that the
matter will again come up tomorrow.
After the reading of the calendar ad-
journment was taken to 10 a. m. tomor-
row.
The Circuit court adjourned sine die
on Saturday.
The Merricourt insurance case was
decided by foreign jury before Judge
Silliman on Saturday, in favor of the
plaintiff. Plaintiff was awarded $2,860
for the building, and $2,250 for furni-
ture. The house burned was in Kalihi
1t was destroyed in a rather mysterious
manner some years ago. Appeal will
be taken by the insurance companies
to the Supreme court.
The will of the late Mary K. Wide
mann has been admitted to probate.
H. r. and F. w. McFarlane and j. M.
Dowsett are appointed executors under

THEY MAY Be THROWN OUT.
BAND OF INCURABLES IN HARD
LUCK.
Miserable Death In the Street Stares
Consumptives In the Face-Seventeen
Pitiful Cases.

Seventeen unfortunate people are to
be removed from the kerosene camp as
soon as possible to Kalihi. What will
become of them is a problem, but the
prospects are that on April l they Will
be turned out to shift for themselves,
which means to die on the streets.
All of the persons are afflicted with
incurable diseases, most of them being
consumptives. What money they ever
had has been used to keep body and
soul together, and not one has dollar
for lodging or the meager necessities
of life.
Some weeks ago the Board of Health
decided to take such incurable cases
as might come to it and furnish quar-
ters at the kerosene camp. The little
hospital there has since contained from
dozen to twenty cases, deaths and ad-
uItions changing the number from time
to time. 1t was the intention then to
keep the camp there as a permanent
hospital for such unfortunates. Then
came the campaign of economy, which,
while working properly in many res
poets, swept out, in this instance, one
of the most laudable institutions of the
Health Board.
The serious part of the matter is the
future of these people. They were get
ting along nicely at Kakaako. There
they were cared for by nurses and had
the constant medical attention of DR..
Bowman. At Kalihi the care will be
equally good while it lasts, but the trou-
BILE is it will end on April l. At least
that is the present intention. What are
these poor people then to do?

JAPANESE MACHIAVELI KILLS A
COUNTRYMAN.
Believed to Have Been a Crafty
Planned and Cruelty Executed Assas-
sination-How the Deed Was Plotted.

Horte, Japanese plantation laborer
was disemboweled and killed by Ami
motto, another Japanese plantation la
borer at camp 2, Kahuku, Saturday
night.
The murder is believed to be due to
an old fued, and to have been coolly
planned and desperately executed
Neither the murdered man, Horie,
nor the murderer, Animoto or his COM
panions belonged to the Kahuku plan
tation. If the belief that the murder
was premeditated and planned is well
founded, the murderer seems to have
simply chosen Kahuku as the Ken
lucky, the dark and bloody ground Z"
for his dark and bloody deed.
Horie was a laborer employed on Laie
plantation. Where Animoto belonged
is not known, certainly not on Kahuku
plantation. The police are trying to
find out if he worked on any of the
other plantations-Oahu, Eva, Honolu-
lu or Waialua
According to information in the pos
session of the police, though it has
yet to be verified, Animoto sent word
to an acquaintance, a japanese on Ka-
huku, that he would be over at Kahuku
on Saturday night, and that there
would be good game, and by all
means, not to forget to invite Horie." >"
In accordance with this notice Animoto
comrades with him. Horie also came
from Laie. The good game" started.
A dispute arose. Animoto directed the
quarrel against Horie. The two men
drew knives, and there was a Japanese
duel to the death. Horie was cut twice
in the back before a slash across the
| abdomen disemboweled him. Animoto
was badly cut across the forehead and
on the right arm. When Horie fell,
Animoto and one of his companions
fed. The companions were later arrest
ed at Waimea by police under Deputy
Sheriff Cox of Waialua.
Deputy Sheriff Frank Pahia at once
took up the search for Animoto. He is
described as short man with two old
scars on the back of his head, and two
front teeth missing.
Horie died at 1O:30 o'clock Saturday
night.
AS soon as word was received here of
the affair, Lieutenant Leslie was sent
to notify the guards at the Pail and at
Moanalua to be on the lookout.
| Manager Weight of Kahuku planta-
ton, is rendering the police all assist
ance in his power. No word has yet
been received OF the result of the in
quest on the body of Horie.

CRAZY MAN ON THE BARK ST.
KATHERINE.
He Stabs Three of His Companions.
With a Fork--A Long Voyage From
New York.

The bark st. Katherine, Captain
Saunders, arrived yesterday with
crazy sailor locked up in one of the
after deck rooms. He ran amuck sew
eral months ago and stabbed three
other sailors, and since then has been
under restraint.
The crazy man is a German, about
40 years of age. When the vessel had
been out from New York a little over
month he suddenly became violent
and when his watch assembled at meal
time he seized a fork and started after
his companions. He stabbed one in the
abdomen, another in the hip and a third
in the groin, before he was overpower-
ed. None of the men were seriously
hurt. The captain ordered the luna
tic put in irons and he will be turned
over to the authorities here. The in
sane man keeps up a constant stream
of talk in his cell. raving about the
ship his companions and everything
else.
The st. Katherine had long voyage.
heing Isl days out. She encountered a
severe hurricane on the Atlantic side.
Since then she has had very little winds
and she could only make slow time up
this side of the Horn.
AT noon today Police Captain Harry
Evans and Big Jim" went with Cant
saunders to the vessel to get the insane
man. The latter is a tall powerful
young man and is regarded by his ship
mates as very dangerous lunatic At
first he did not want to put the irons
on, but he was coaXed into 1t by the
first mate, who has learned by unpleas-
ant experience how to handle the man
During the row back to shore the crazy
man several times threatened to over
turn the boat, but plenty of "jollying''
prevented trouble
On the voyage there were a number
of lively fights with the crazy man
on the vessel, and all on board were
glad to see him go. When his behavior
was good the irons were taken off and
when he got bad again they had to be
put on by force, which was not easy
with such powerful youth. The first
mates arm bears the marks of where
it was bitten by the madman, and the
latter's wrists are torn by his struggles
with the irons.
The second mate on the St. Catherine
was also in confinement during much
of the voyage, the captain ordering him
locked up for insubordination He was
discharged as soon as she reached port.

PLAGUE CASE YESTERDAY
A NATIVE sUCCUMBs ON YOUNG
STREET.
Physician Found Pneumonia Symptoms
But Post Mortem Shows Plague-His-
tory Of the Case.

Edward H. Kahoohano, native, aged
So, died about o'clock yesterday in q
lane off the head of Young street of
plague. Following a post mortem last
night Dr. Hoffman rendered that YER
dict. The body was cremated this morn
ing and the house occupied by the VIC
tim is in quarantine.
This man was a guard in the employ
of the Board of Health. One of his re-
cent details was to guard the store and
house near the Waikiki turn on King
street, and there is a suspicion that he
may have taken something from these
premises.
The case was discovered about II
o'clock Sunday morning by Inspector
Fred. Berger and reported to Superin-
tendent Towse. At that time the man
was up and dressed but had a high
fever and was breathing rapidly. He
stated to the inspector that DIR. Cooper
had been sent for. This the inspector
verified A short time later Mr.. Towse
learned that DIR. Cooper was in attend
ance and dropped the case. The man
died about o'clock as above stated
DR.. Cooper seen about the matter
said: "I visited the man at II o'clock
in the forenoon and again in the after
noon 1 found him suffering of acute
pneumonia and under the influence of
an overdose of quinine. He had taken
twenty grains of the medicine, and the
effect of so much in case of pneumo-
mia can readily be imagined. There
were no visible indications of plague.
DR.. Hoffman says it is plague, however,
and that settles it.
"The man was i'll of diarrhoea Friday
and Saturday and was not rid of il
when I called Sunday morning."
