INQUEST Of JULES De BAR WAIT FOR LEGISLATURE
NO SPECIAL SESSION WILL BE
HELD.
Executive Meeting Discusses and De-
cides the Matter This Morning
Chinatown Insurance.

The Star OF last Friday stated that
the decision of the Executive would
most probably be against a special ses-
sion of the legislature. This morning
the question was so decided. 1t ap-
peared on Friday that a majority of
the Government heads were unafVor-
able to the session and Governor Dole
seemed to hold the same view. This
morning +. NJ. Hatch, A. G.. NJ. Robert
son and DR.. c. b. Wood were present
at the meeting and discussed the mat
ter with the council with the result
above stated.
In the discussion it was clearly
brought out that there was business
that might be referred to advantage to
an early session of the Legislature. At
the same time the expense and turmoil
of a special session seemed to outweigh
the advantages to be achieved. w. o.
Smith, the late attorney general, is the
strongest advocate in town of a special
session.
This subject took up most of the time
of the meeting this morning. In fact
nothing else of great Importance was
undertaken.
! Theo. r. Lansing, the new treasurer,
qualified this morning before business
hours and was present at the meeting.
superintendent McCandless stated
! that he would at o'clock this after
noon have meeting with members of
the Board of Underwriters in regard to
insurance rates in old Chinatown. He
remarked that the insurance men had
! expressed the intention of putting the
rates in the locality up so high as to
prohibit, practically, the erection of
wooden buildings there. In the mind
of the superintendent this would bring
about the same result as an extension
of the fire limits.
Mr.. McCandless also brought up the
matter of numbering houses prepara-
tory to establishing the special mail de-
livery system. He suggested that num-
bers be placed on blocks from 1 to 100
1t was decided to refer the matter 10
a committee of the survey department
to carry out. superintendent McCand-
less and Post Office Inspector Flint had
a conference on the subject this morn
ing.

KRUGER WILLING TO ACCEPT
ANY TERMS.
But He Does Not Want to Take the
Initiative That Would Involve I'm
Conditional Surrender-Baden- Powell

LONDON, June 15-4 A. M.-Lord
Roberts dispatches leave affairs east of
Pretoria with the Beers withdrawn to
new positions Tuesday News of fresh
lighting is expected at the War Office,
but none came last night.
Major General Baden-Powell has
been appointed to the rank of Lieuten-
ant-General.
The LourenzosMarquez correspondent
of the Times says: 1T appears that
Steyn and not Kruger is now the STUN
bling block in the way Of the surrender
of the burghers. Shortly after the Brit
ish entry into Pretoria Kruger pro-
posed to reopen the peace negotiations.
| Mr. Steyn, bearing in mind that his
former advice was secuted, demurred
to this and pointed out that according
to the treaty between the republics
neither could conclude peace without
the other. Kruger, equally unwilling
to incur the charge of a breach of faith,
! had to continue the war
Nothing further is known regarding
the rumored peace negotiations, but it
/ is a matter of notoriety that Kruger
/ faVors peace on almost any terms, but
dislikes personally to take an initiative
that would involve unconditional sur
render"
Ninety-seven burghers out of 200 i'm
one commando have returned to their
| homes

COMPANIONS TELL HOW HE WAS
LOST.
Harbor Bathers Frightened by the
Theory That He Was Seized by a
Devil Fish.

The coroner's inquest in the case Of
Jules de Bar brought in a verdict Of
death by accidental drowning. The
only testimony offered was that OF his
companions and Captain Gibbs, who
saw him swimming in the water, and
tried to find him after he sunk. They
agreed that he had suddenly gone un-
der and had never risen. Several jump
ed in after him, and others watched, ex-
pecting him to come to the surface, but
he did not appear till II hours later,
when the body rose where it had sunk.
The theory that the young sailor was
held under water by a devil fish has
frightened a number of bathers who
were accustomed to swim in the water
near where he met his death. They are
now afraid to go into the water, lest
they meet the same horrible fate. The
squid are not to be feared however, 1t
is said. by any ordinary swimmer, but
only by those who dive to the bottom.
Natives fish for them along the mouth
of the channel and have way OF
grasping them by which they are made
helpless.
A number of cases are recalled by Ho-
nolulans in which bathers who have
gone where the squid are have beer
seized and held by the strong tendons
of the monsters, which are capable tC
taking hold that they never release
till they are slain or the tendon is cut
off. Small ones are very numerous
along the channel

THE HOURS CHANGED.
Postoffce is Now Open From a. m. to
p. m.


Few people know that the general
postoftice is now kept open daily until
o'clock i'm the afternoon. Formerly
the hours were 8 a. IN. to p. m. On
Saturday the closing hour was p. m.
Now it is as on other days. On Sun
days the windows are open from 10 to
IL. This is two hours later than for
merly. All mail has to be distributed
before 10 o'clock. Money order business
remains open every day except Sunday
from a, N, to p. m.
or course there is no business after
the old hours. From 4 to in the after
moons the clerks sit around, spin yarns
and spend the time as pleasantly as
possible. At 8 o'clock everybody IN
town goes home. From then to the
streets are deserted. Sometimes a po-
liceman or a sailor on a long leave looks
in at the postOffice windows, affording
some novelty to the situation with the
clerks. The worst trial of the postofflce
employees comes on Saturday afternoon,
when they must stick to their posts
until o'clock. Stores close at l. Peo-
pie on the streets after that hour are
not looking for postage stamps, but are
usually down to meet friends, or are on
special business.
Another hard feature with the post
office men is that for extra work, at
night or other times, they get no extra
pay.

A SWEDISH ORATOR ARRESTED
AND FINED.
Makes an Appeal to Judge Wilcox, and
Wants to Know Why salvationists
Are Not Arrested.

a charge of common nuisance was
placed against A. Clement yesterday
because he lifted up his voice on the
public streets to instruct the working
man in politics and other things. Glenn
ent is a Swede. and says ne proposes
To organize labor unions and assist gen
orally in telling American working men
of Hawaii how they ought to conduct
! themselves so that they will not lose
any Of their rights" After rather
stormy trial he was fined IS and costs
land he left the courtroom swearing he
would do it again.
"Haf / not der rights ouf der Ameri-
can citertzen NIT free speech?" demand
ed the prisoner whwen he was brought
before the judge. ....
Judge Wilcox answered, telling the
prisoner that he had right to speak his
mind whenever and wherever he want
ed, just the same as any American but
that obstruction or causing obstruction
of the public streets was an entirely
| different matter. The young orator tnen
/ wanted to know why the Salvation
] Army people were not arrested. 1.-TWO
wrongs do not make a right" was the
answer of the Solomon of Honolulu
/ You are on. trial now, and not the Sal
walton Army, and all we have to do now
is to consider your case. Five dollars
! and costs"
Clement paid the five dollars, banging
| the silver money down in front of Off
Ger Hanrahan with a noise that made
the judge look as if he was thinking
about contempt proceedings. Then the
orator went into the lobby and told how
his American privileges had been taken
from him, and declared that he would
| 'spake" again. until a policeman came
from the courtroom to make things
quieter Clement was discussing the
Japanese labor troubles when he was
arrested for blockadng the sidewalk.
He was about to roast the powers of
Europe for depressing China, and In
tended to fpish by beginning the or
ganlzatlon OF labor unions in Honolulu.
He is q Social Democrat.

HEAVY SENTENCE GIVEN TO A
SMALL BOY.
John Floucon, Eight Years Old, Gets
Two Years in Reform School for steal
ing Books-Protest Made.

NAALEHU, Kau, June 21.-The
steamer Kinau this week takes to Ho-
nolulu as a prisoner John Floucon, a
boy eight years old, who was sentenc-
ed to two years i'm the reform school
for taking some books from the school
here after closing hours. The case was
tried in the Kau district court, Judge
Waipulani presiding. The evidence
showed that the lad had entered the
schoolhouse in company with other
boys of his own age and taken some
school books therefrom. He was found
guilty and the two-years' sentence pro-
nounced. The boys parents decided to
go with him to Honolulu and try TO
have the severe sentence changed.
Among the neighbors there is much
sympathy for the boy and his parents
and petition to the board of education
has been signed by many, asking that
the sentence be changed.
