TIE GREAT PENSION SCANDAL,

The colossal character OF the pension raid
upon the Treasury is not fully appreciated
by the majority of our people They know
in general way that in recent years about
$40, 100000, in round figures, have been
paid out annually in pensions to veteran
soldiers, soldiers widows and soldiers chill.
dren. Were these pensions restricted en-.
tirely to actually MANNED veterans, incapa.
bic of working for a living, no objection
would be made to the payment, no matter
how great the amount; but a very large
proportion Of the pensioners are persons in
no sense entitled TO public bounty or char.
ity, and in cutting them off from the pen
sion rolls the country would be doing no
injustice.
Bad as the pension business lie already,
the process of raiding the Treasury goes
merrily on. On the very first days OF the
present session OF Congress, ia addition to a
large number of private pension bills, there
were very large number Of general meas
ures, providing for the payment of pensions
TO numerous classes Of persons. These gen.
eral measures 10 swell the size of the PEN
sion rolls amounted to good fourth Of the
bills introduced on the first day, and, If all
should be adopted, the pension expendi-
lures would be greatly augmented
The war with Spain is gradually devel.
oping fresh batch OF pension claimants
and, as in years past we may expect to see
the number of alleged Spar sh war veter
ans constantly increase. The fact that the
number of pensioners from the Civil wal
continued to increase even after the wal
had been over thirty years, promises poorly
for an early cessation of aims arising from
the one hundred days war with Spain.

THE NARR|MOO ARRIVES
SYDNEY AGAIN FREE FROM THE
PLAGUE.
Brisbane Still Infected-The Vessel
Has Rough Weather Near the Colo
MES But Misses the Kona.

The steamship Warrimoo, Captain
Phillips, arrived at about eleven o'clock
this morning from the Colonies. She
was on time, though she made the first
half of her journey at slow speed, en-
countering high head seas up to the
eleventh. The sea was so rough that
she was compelled to slow down dur
ing most of the time from the 5th to
the 1lth.
The Warrimoo left Sydney on the 9TH
of this month and arrived at Brisbane
on the evening of the 7th. She had a
clean bill of health from Sydney, where
the plaque is again reported to be
stamped out. A few more new cases
are reported from Brisbane, however
The Warrimoo lay at Brisbane for a
day and then anchored at Brisbane
Roads to wait for mails, which she got
on the morning of the 9th.
The Warrimoo passed Urepurapura
island on the 18th, Vatgonai and Tu-
copia on the 18th and crossed the equa-
tor on the 10th. She had light north
east winds during the last ten days of
her trip the storms that have been
experienced here not having extended
to the southwest far enough to effect
her.
Only a few passengers are on the
Warrimoo and none for Honolulu. She
also has but little freight for this port,
no meat coming in cold storage. She
will leave at six o'clock this evening
for Victoria.

BIG LUAU IN THE DRILL SHED
THIS AFTERNOON.
Tribute of Native Women to Delegate
to Washington-Poi, Fish, Flowers
and Smiles.

The luau of the female auxiliary to
the Independent party in honor of Ro-
bert w. Wilcox, delegate-elect to Con-
gress, will take place in the drill shed
from o'clock this afternoon. 1t Is ex-
pected that it will last until about s
o'clock. All the paraphenalia incident
to Hawaiian feast has already been
mustered at the historic armory, and
the good things are being laid on beds
of Indigenous verdure at this hour.
Robert Wilcox, dressed in a black
suit with cutaway coat, will be there
at 4 o'clock sharp. Princess Theresa,
accompanied by Mrs. Boyd and two
other ladies will arrive about the same
time. ALI will be wreathed in flowers
as well as smiles of complete salts
faction.
The luau is the elimination of female
effort only. Leaders of the Independ-
ent party disclaim any responsibility in
the matter, save that they will be
guests. Mrs. Wilcox was one of the
principals in its arrangement. She was
aided by able lieutenants and succeed
ed in getting enough money together to
warrant promise of success. There
will be no speech making, as the ar
rangements now stand. The program
will consist of eating, drinking and gen.
eral merry making, ending with a fare
well to the delegate and his wife.
1t was intended to have the luau on
the vacant lot next to the Queens place
on Beretania street, but it was not pos
sible to get the grounds. Colonel Jones
cheerfully rendered the drill shed for
the purpose.
The torch light procession will take
place Friday night and Wilikoki will
get away by the first steamer for
Washington.

SHED TEARS IN COURT
KANALU TELLS WILCOX HE is
UNJUST.
A Native Who Got Six Months for
Embezzlement Makes a Scene-His
Second Offense.

There was a flood of tears in the
police court this morning when a young
native named Kanalu was sentenced
to six months at hard labor for steal
ing $18 from the California Feed Com
pany. The prisoner pleaded eloquently
with the judge for about half an hour,
but without avail and when conviction
came he first told Wilcox that he was
an unjust judge and then retired to the
docIr to weep.
Kanalu has been on the reef before
and knew what he was going to. Two
years ego he stole a watch and was
sentenceA for 1t. This was brought up
AGAINST flAm this morning, and he ac-
knowledged guilt, pleading that he had
been drunk at the time.
KanatH stole the eighteen dollars
while in the employ of the feed COM
pany. He had been discharged as a
driver and taken back for a few days
to substitute for a sick man. He got
bill for the sum mentioned, collected
it and kept the money. This was the
evidence of bookkeeper Rogers of the
feed company.
Without any witnesses to help him
Kanalu put a defense that occupied a
lot of time. He swore that he had
paid the money over to Rogers. Ka-
nalu talked fluently for half an hour.
He supplied the judge with a surprising
number of details about the transac-
ton. Kanalu remembered and describ-
ed the appearance of the sky. when he
paid the money. how high the sun was,
the hour of the day almost the min
ute, who was present, the exact change
and everything else connected with the
occasion on which he had handed over
the SIS. He even noticed some small
boys that he saw playing a block away
from the feed company's office, and
this morning he told the court about
| them.
Sheriff Brown insisted that the case
| against Kanalu had been established
and the court agreed with him. Then
Kanalu told his honor that he was a
cruel and unjust judge to send an inno-
cent man to Jail. When he went back
to the dock he began to cry and he
was still crying when he was led be-

HAVELOCATEDKNANGHS HSU
REFORMERS HEAR HE is IN
PROVINCE OF SAN SAL.
Late Advices From China Tell of I'M
portant Plans Which the Party Has
in Prospect.

According to advices received from
the Orient via the Nippon Maru yes
terday the Emperor of China is now
in the western part of his kingdom
and if the plans of the reformers sue
ceed he will change his policy of equi-
vocation and come out boldly to nego-
tiate with the Powers and free his pros
trate country from the grasp of the
land grabbing nations of Europe. This
information was received by the local
reform leaders from the secretary of
the order who is at present in Hong
kong.
Recently reports have been made
that the Emperor had returned to Pc
king and was in hiding in his capital.
The reform party had reason to believe
otherwise. In fact had the rumor been
correct it would have handicapped them
seriously in their plans Of securing his
recognition and effecting an alliance by
which the party can obtain control of
affairs. The agents of the reform party
were directed to make diligent inquiry
concerning the whereabouts of the EN-
peror and ascertain if it were true that
he was in Peking. 1t was soon learned
that he was still in the interior. This
month the party secured information
regarding his whereabouts and planned
to take advantage of 1t.
Six Leong the governor of Kim Sock
a province in the western part of the
empire was, the reform agents ascer-
tained, marshalling a large force of
fighting men for the purpose of maxi
| ing an excursion into another province.
Naturally this expedition aroused great
| curiosity for a time but 1T was not long
before the true purpose of the gather
| ing of the men was learned.
| The Emperor and court were then in
| the province of San Sal which Joined
| that of Kim Sock and the governor of
the latter state had received secret or
derS to take his force of men and join
| the body guard of the Emperor, which
numbers 10000 soldiers.
While Six Leong is not friendly to
| the reformers the majority of his SOL
diers are and according to the advices
of the agents the soldiers will at a
suitable time declare for the reform
party and use their influence for that
faction. Just what the plans of the re-
form party are was not disclosed in
the letter. 1t is known that at Ma Sing
a large city near where the Emperor
must be now, is one of the strongholds
of the reformers and should it be found
possible and deemed polite the party
will no doubt not loose the opportunity
of securing the custody of the EN-
peror. That such a course, even
though 1t be violent, would be justified
they firmly believe for the reason that
they look upon themselves as able to
exert the influence which is the most
likely and competent to bring about
peace for China and restore the EN-
peror upon the throne.
Advices from Sydney are to the effect
that Leung Chi-tso arrived there and
was received with great enthusiasm.
