vAuAaonD CuoLIEs.

Something over four hundred Japan
csc came to Honolulu as deck passen-
gers on the Kinau, having dropped
their plantation work and FASTENED
here as to a promised land. They are
coolies whom the Territorial Act freed
from the legal obligation of contracts.
What their purpose is in fiocking this
way may easily be surmised. knowing
that a mere smattering knowledge of
kitchen work, such as building a fire
in a stove and frying a steak on the
top entities a coolie to seek employ
ment here as a cook at large pay, some
have come for that purpose. Others
want to be yard boys, accountants
and merchants in lust-anything, in
fact, that will enable them to live in
the city and partake of it's excitements.
II this influx keeps on the population
of Honolulu will increase at the rate
of at least 1900 a month and the supply
of plantation labor be correspondingly
diminished--a very bad thing from
both the rural and the urban points of
view. BY a recent agreement between
the United States and japan we are
released from the peril of students"
and free laborers from abroad; but the
local migration is a greater danger.
The first we know sugar crops will be
in jeopardy for want of field hands and
this city will be overrun by Oriental
loafers and tramps.
The suggestion made by a cores
pendent that the vagrant laws be
rigidly enforced, seems the only way
out. II coolies with no visible means
of support are sent to the reef and then
put on the roads to work their time,
the plantations will grow popular
again. We know of no other measures
likely to be so effective as this one and
the need of II is already pressing.

Two Criminal Cases Begun 9
Honokaa Tuesday.

HILO. July 1.-the Herald says:
The case of Arthur Meyners. charged
with killing Gus Schwartz, began at
Honokaa Tuesday morning. The entire
venire of jurors was exhausted the first
day before twelve good men and true
could be obtained, and a second venire
was called to report yesterday. The
attorney for the defense, Wise, was
using his right to challenge. No per-
son other than citizen OF the United
States was permitted to sit as a juror,
decision which bars many residents
of the district.
The trial of Nahalea wiz follow that
of Meyers; Charles Williams will defend
him, and after that case is finished,
those of two japanese charged with
murder will be called Thomas c. Ridge

Ridgeway will defend the Japanese. Ii
is possible the difficulty encountered in
securing jury in the Meyners case will
be met in the others. in which case there
will be either postponement or change

Marshalltown, Dec. 12,--Sheriff i.

the charge of forgery. But back OF
the forgery is a more serious offense
for which. unfortunately, he cannot

With his bride of a month Hedriek

from Britt and secured position as

Mrs. Hedrick was stricken with par
alysis affecting the entire lower por-
ton Of her body and rendering her
absolutely helpless. AS Hedrick had
no funds with which to provide medl-

drick and wife to remain at the hotel,
requiring no work of Hedrick except
few light jobs occasionally. Miss

that Hedrick had forged the names
of his wife and her sister to the

TO MAKE TEMPORARY REPAIRS.
Action of the Trustees OF the Iowa
Agricultural College.

Agricultural College.
! Ames, Dec. 12.-No attempt will be
! made by the trustees of the Iowa
Agricultural College to rebuild the
building partly burned last Saturday
/ morning. The board of trustees in
their meeting yesterday decided that
much. A committee consisting of
Trustees McElroy, Boardman and
Hungerford was appointed to appear
before the executive council next
Saturday and ask that the college
be given $4,000 out of the 1000
state providential fund, and if this is
allowed the board will put a tenn
porary roof over the remains of the
old central building, so that it may
be used temporarily for dormitory
and class rooms. A temporary
building will be erected for class
rooms, the plan being to use this
for machine shop or clay modelling
building when suitable new cen
trail building is provided.
The state architect will be asked
to inspect the remains of the burn
ed building, which has for several
years been under suspicion for I'M
safety because it's foundations are
crumbling and the whole structure
is somewhat insecure. 1t was only
a question of three or four years
when it must have been torn down
in any event. The board is deter
mined to abolish the dormitory sys-
tenn, but will do it gradually, giving
time for other provisions to take
care of students who cannot afford
to pay higher rates for room and
! board,

BAD FIRE AT AMES.
Main Building Of Agricultural coi.
Iexe Nearly Destroyed.

Ames, Dec. 9.-The main building
at the State Agricultural college was
almost completely destroyed by fire
Yesterday morning. The north wing
and most of the center Of the build
ing arc in ruins, and the botanical
collection, one Of the most valuable
in the country, suffered heavy loss.
The total loss is estimated at close to
$4,000. Y
Two hundred men students, occu-
pying the north wing of the building
as a dormitory, escaped with their
lives, fifty using the fire escape. but
were able to save but few Of their
belongings. Practically nothing but
the south wing of the building was
saved. s
The fire originated in the boiler
room of the heating plant in the
basement of the north wing at 4
o'clock. 1t caught in a heap of Shin
giles used as kindling. This was di-
rectIy under the conduits through
which the steam pipes lead to. the up
per floors. This created a strong
draft and the fire was sucked up to
the top floor in an instant. "A mo-
ment later the entire top floor was in
flames. BY the time the alarm could
be given the top floor was a burning
furnace, and the fire was rapidly eat
ing it's way downward. w. 49,
Students were aroused from sound
slumber as if by magic and rushed
for the fire escapes half-clad. That
all of them escaped without one be-
ing seriously injured in the panic is
almost 1pirorulOuS
Paul st. Clair. the fireman. in
charge of the boiler room, gave the
alarm as soon as he discovered the,
seriousness of the fire, but the IA
cilities of the college fire department
were utterly inadequate to the emer-
gency. ,& W"
The display of college spirit was
magnificent, and it was the perfect
discipline of the students which pre-
vented more destructive spread OF
Inc flames. s.
Their efforts saved most of, the
$4,000 botanical collection, which
was on the first floor of the north
wing.
The building which has been de-
stroyed was erected in 1868 at cost
of 100000. Repairs were made on it
two years ago and it was in good cons
dition. 1t was devoted to dormitory
purposes and recitation rooms.

What LONDON Editors Think OF the

London, Dec. IA. Accommodating on
the adoption Of the committee amend
ment to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
the Daily Chronicle says: lsa
'"The news is very serious indeed.
It means, in o ward, that the jingoes

that we are back again today where

'.The Americans intend to fortify

gagement to the contrary. We can
not possibly stand by and allow the

set aside. The good relations be

the outcome of Mr.. McKinley's re-
election. Worse could hardly have
happened if Mr.. Bryan had been re-

The Daily Graphic remarks:
"'We have no doubts as to the re-
suit. Anglo-American statesman
ship will find an amicable solution
Of the difficulty created by American
jingoes. We fail to see, however,
how the Clayton-Bulwer treaty can
be got rid of without the mosquito

The Standard observes:
Oft ;c mora IF q rehutf for preSi-

be insulting to the people and gov

nounce the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
without offering an equitable equiv

Portions of tho Law Declared to be
Unconstitutional

Chicago, Dec. 13.-Judges Tuley,
Waterman and Dunno, of the circuit
court, sitting en- banc, handed down
a decision in corporation cases in
yolving the constitutionality of the
antitrust laws of Illinois, in which
the court ruled that corporations in
Illinois must continue to make affi-
davits to the secretary of state that
they were in 10 way connected with
any trust or combination in re-
straint of trade. The decision in eff
feet sustains the section of the anti
trust law which compels the filing
under penalty of an affidavit from
each corporation that it is innocent
of connection with the trust. Sec
ton 1 of the antitrust act, as
amended, which describes and de-
fines trusts, is held to be unconstitu-
tional by two of the judges, but the
court is unanimous in declaring the
amendatory section, providing for
the filing of atfidavits, does not fall
within the section. The decision in
wolves the enforcement of fines of
$50 on nearly eight hundred Illinois
corporations which refused to file
affidavits with the secretary of state,
as required by law.

Des Moines, Dec. 13.-Mrs. jeanette
Broadbent, professional nurse, who
achieved prominence in the Richard
son divorce trial now in progress in
the district court by testifying re-

alleged to have been made to her
by Mrs. Richardson concerning the
paternity of the youngest Richard
son child, was shot and perhaps IA
tally wounded in her apartments on
the second floor of the Baker block.
Mrs. Broadbent insists that an at
tempt was made to murder her. She
holds that she was wounded by
man who disappeared as soon as the
shot was fired, and that the shoot
ing was due to a desire for revenge
on the part of some one because OF
her testimony in the Richardson
case. She claims to have been in
formed that her life was in danger
and says that one intimation came
from Mrs. Richardson. Because OF
the circumstances surrounding the
shooting the police hold that Mrs.
Broadbent attempted suicide.
