THE CABINET
Zerbe's Claims Argued
and Referred.
Statement of Minister Damon About
a Forfeited Letter from
Secretary Hay.
lFrom Thursdays Daily.

The Cabinet met yesterday at the
usual hour. There were present Pres
ident Dole and Ministers Mott-Smith,
Young, Damon and Cooper.
President Dole read petitions refer

for services in the Appraisers office
from the 9Th of August, 1896, to the
Goth OF October, 1897, and (2) from Mr..
John Prendergast, asking that an item
of S295.75 be inserted under Roads and
Bridges, Oahu, in the Appropriation
Bill. now before the Council of State to
cover wages of employees for work
done on the Koolauoa Road during
1891 and 1892. In regard to the former
Mr.. George A. Davis, attorney for Mr..
Zerbe, was called in and made an ar
gument and the matter was taken I'M
der advisement. The latter was refer
red to the Minister of the Interior for
investigation and report.
Minister Damon stated that Japan
csc came here on the Rio de Janeiro
but was refused landing by Mr.. j. X.
Brown, on account of physical DISABLE
ity. 1t was agreed on his depositing a
bond of 500 that he should be allowed
to land and when the Rio returned he
should go back. Now the Rio did not
come back on account OF quarantine,
and he claims as the Rio did not come
back to take him to China that he Is
not compelled to go in any other way.
Mr.. Stackable and myself agree that
he has forfeited his bond and the 500
should go into Government realiZa-
tons. The matter was referred to the
Attorney General.
Letters from Mr.. Hartwell dated
March 10th, 18th, 10th and 18th were
read.
Mr.. Sewall was introduced and left
with the Executive a letter from John

It's general view of this matter IS ac-

out OF which the Bow Wongs or any

trouble enough with the secret gangs

solute Chinese to follow suit. Just now,
when thousands of Chinese are hard

very attractive to some of them. They
" ould like nothing better than to make
their well-to-do countrymen support
them. But that is an enterprise which
the Government can hardly afford to
assist, to say nothing of the other and
revolutionary object which the Bow
Wongs freely avow.
OF course we acquit Messrs. Henshall

inflict highlander society on the
town, and make bold to presume that,
when they get at the secrets of the or

aid of the Chinese Consul, they will

HACK STANDS PAU.
Order of Minister Young Abolishes
Them on September 80.
(From Thursdays Daily

Minister Alexander Young has given
notice to the hack drivers and the sta
bles controlling the hackstands that
the latter will be abolished on Septem-
Der Both, 1900, and that thereafter no
stands for hacks will be allowed upon
any of the streets of the city.
This Is in keeping with the order
which the Minister served upon the Ho-
tel stables hackstand some time ago. in
order that the congestion OF the mar
rowest portion of Hotel street could be
relieved, and yesterdays order Ia In
tended to remove all distractions from
The streets according to the police reg
nlation now being enforced against We
hicles. The hackstand situated just
Eva of the Hotel stables thereupon Sc
cured the right to use the front yard
of the Lucas property facing the Ha-
waiian Hotel. The fence was removed,
and the hacks were brought within the
sidewalk line, thereby complying with
the Departments order.
The condemnation Of the Pantheon
stable by the Board of Health was fol-
lowed by condemnation OF the hack
stand maintained alongside the Pan
theon saloon. The stand proper, how
ever, was inside the sidewalk line on
private property. The Board got around
this difficulty by condemning the site
Of the stand as a nuisance and men
ace to public health. and the hacks
were forced to seek new quarters.
Since the destruction of the Hotel
stables by fire upon the order OF the
Health Board their hackstand has TAX
en- up quarters on the Gedge corner, oc-
cupying the empty lot, and are there
fore within the sidewalk line, and are
not affected by the proposed regulation
of the Interior Department.
The hackstands affected by the order
will be the one stationed on Union
street. off Hotel street, the 1920" stand
on King street, and the stand opposite
he Judd building on Merchant street.
Others affected are the | y l. corner
stand, Bethel street, and Japanese
stand, on Beretania and Nuuanu, and

York and other cities, and no apprecia-
BILE amount OF freight would go any
further overland than necessary. A
central railroad might eventually come,
but It would be by the gradual con-
struction OF connecting links between
a lot of little branch lines The latter
would come first, and only after the
island was well opened up would 1t be
come possible to travel from end to

broad and daring plan should be car
ried out the result will be that the
branch lines will pay their way In
freights from lumber and tobacco at
first. and from all sorts of products
later, and that the production Of sugar,
fruits, coffee, cattle, and all sorts OF
vegetables will develop enormously
within a few years Sugar will not be
the chief of the products to feel the
effects of the boom, because the plan
ters there are hard put to 1t to obtain

sion of Cuba among a few large prop

in the world where so much of value
can be produced with so little labor.

Pima Indians in Distress.

Phoenix. The distress of the Pima
Indians is increasing as the season ad-
vances. They will have but fifth of
the usual crop, and, though many of
them are in good circumstances and
can stand years drouth, the great
majority, will be destitute ere an
other year, and general famine is
apprehended. There has been an ap-
preparation of $50, 900 made by the De-
partment of the Interior for the relief
of the Pimas and the Papagos. Sup
erintendent MCGOWAN says that this
amount is but drop in the bucket,
and is urging that immediate action
be taken by the government toward
building reservoir on the Gila River,
with capacity sufficient to perpetu-
ally irrigate IS 900 acres of land, the
Indians to be employed in the construc-
tion of the dam. About 300 Indian
children have been detained by Super
intendent MCGOWAN at the Indian
school during vacation, in order to as
sist, as much as possible, the poor
families on the reservation. Never
before has there been as little water
in the Gila River as at present.
There is not a drop of running
water between Florence and Riverside.
The cattlemen have resorted to
scrapers, and the water holes thus
made afford just enough water for the
cattle.

LESSON FOR BOYS.

The Rise of Frank o. Lowden a For1
mer Burlington, Iowa, Teacher.
Frank q. Lowden, Of Chicago, attor1
ney and practical head Of the Pullman
Palace Car Company, and husband Of
Florence Pullman, and at one time a
school teacher in Burlington, was In
Davenport, Iowa, recently. His short
stay there inspired the following in the
Davenport Democrat:
'Not many years ago Frank Lowden
was an Iowa farmer boy. He eventu-
ally got into the Iowa State university,
where, as people Of this city who knew
him then tell it, he held the banner for
country verdancy and awkwardness,
but along with it he held the reputation
Of being one Of the best students and
quickest learners in the institution. He
taught in the Burlington high school fot
a time, then gave up teaching for the
bar, then went to Chicago, and then the
rest came easily. Any bright boy might
do the same. He succeeded in having
one Of the richest girls in the country
fall in love with him, and when her
father conveniently died he came into
the management Of his vast estate, and
a foremost position as successful at
torney and a man Of affairs. Every
Iowa farmer boy ought to look up and
take heart with the inspiring vision Of
Mr.. Lowden's success to encourage
him."

Life of Laborers ON Boer Farms

The native laborers on the Boer.
farms-often thirty or forty miles from
the nearest yillage-have hard times
compared to their brethren who work
In the dorp (town); they are badly fed,
badly housed, and too often treated as
If they were cattle. One often won-i
ders why an ill-used family of Kafirs
does not pack up its few cooking pots
and leave cruel master; but the real
reason of the Kafirs' submission Is that
they are always induced to make agree
ment to serve for certain time-per-
haps a year or two years and If they
60 away within that period they can be
brought back, beaten, AID put in the
tronk (as the Jail is called. The only
food given Kafirs on the farms is
mealies (corn), Of which they make a
very coarse -four and then boil into a
thick porridge; and perhaps once a
week they get a piece Of mutton as a
treat for specially hard work.

The bantam-weight prize fighter, inn
maculate in new spring overcoat and
blonde hat, stepped on the street carr
with confident air and leaned against
the rear dashboard. The conductor
looked him over with poorly concealed
contempt He was not to blame, for;
the bantam carried no three-sheet post,
ers on his overcoat telling who he was.
Fare" said the conductor rather.
sharply. The slugger yawned and
fished up coin. The conductor showed
it in his pocket and rang up the fare
Then he gazed into the car and rode for
some moments motionless.
The bantam touched him on the arm.
"Well, what Is it?" demanded the
conductor, turning savagely.
"My change" said the little fellow
mildly.
Change? Whatever want| cried the
nickel snatcher; "change for nickelw
II gave you quarter" suggested the
bantam.
''You what? Well, say, young feller,
another crack like that an off you go
in the DITCH" said the polite conductor.
The bantam looked him In the eye and
said:
"Are you going to give me my 20
centsY'
"S-s-sp-p-p-" the conductor started
to say, linking his words together so
fast that they fell over one another.
And then he incautiously reached forth
an arm toward the dapper little man in
the light coat.
When they had stopped the car to
take the conductor off he was fit for
surgical clinic. What the little fellow
did to him was certainly sufficient from
scientific standpoint, and the messen-
ger boy on the platform methodically
rang up ten fares before he declared
the conductor "Out" Meanwhile the
little man was standing on corner sew

and telling friend that some Of these
conductors would get hurt some time
