interesting TO note that IN the olden
times. not only must the same phenomenon
have been observed. but that in some
countries men even recognized il as so
reasonable as by law to reprieve a mur-

choose him for her husband.

An Ohio soldier seems TO hold the record

leaden bullets from It were lodged in the

THE HAWAIIAN LEGISLATURE.
The Body TO lie Called Together Be
cause of the Plague.

President Mckinley has decided 10 issue
a proclamation recalling the Hawaiian
Legislature. and authorizing IL 10 pass laws
and to enact such temporary measures as
may be necessary TO relieve present needs
in the island.
The decision was brought about by an
alarming condition OF affairs reported to
the meeting Of the Cabinet this morning.
II was said that the burning Of buildings
and necessary destruction of other build
ings in Honolulu on account OF the efforts
to stamp out the bubonic plague have
caused great desutution and suffering
among the people.
The disease has made rapid tsrides
uespite the efforts taken 20 stop its spread
and the conditions in and around Honolulu
are very serious. The President and The
members If the Cabinet agreed that some
thing must be done by the Federal Gov
ernment to relieve the situation.
The legislation pending in CONGRESS for
the permanent government OF hawaii is
not likely TO be enacted into law very soon
and the President deems il unWise TO wait
for Congressional action.
Consequently the proposed proclamation
will be issued within two or three days
recalling the Legislature that went out OF
existence when the Federal Government
took control Of the islands and authorizing
il to take all necessary measures.

A hearing was begun this morning be
fore Judge Cole upon the equity injunc-
tion suits known as the Mutual Fire In
surancc Company and r. Harrison John
son and others against Samuel II. Walker
and others, which were recently consoli-
dated. The questions at issue affect the
validity OF the recent election held by the
company on January T., at which the
counting of ballots was restrained by an
order of the court, issued by Judge Bar
nard, until hearing could be had.
The complainants. who are a majority OF
the old board of managers, and are repre-
sented by Messrs. r. Ross Perry & Son
and Samuel Maddox. allege that certain
resolutions which prevented voting old
proxies or any being voted by managers or
employees, we're invalid, and that the en-
forcement Of these resolutions deprived
them Of a great number of votes which pre-
vented their election.
The defendants, for whom Messrs A. 6.
WOrthington. ID. w. Baker, and Wilton J.
Lambert appear, deny these charges, affirm
the validity Of the resolution and the regu-
larity Of the election.
