vote
Important Session.
The important question decided re-
lated to the contested seat OF the dele

the memory of our beloved President
William Mckinley, who did 30 nobly

Arrange in circular way, elevated

erous flower and lei girls and perhaps
other florists. Plant the surroundings
similar to the fish market with nice

USE Of OPIUM INCREASING.
ENORMOUS AMOUNT IMPORTED
EVERY MONTH.
Is Brought from San Francisco Under a
Different Billing for the Purpose OF
Deception.

The accidental discovery on Sunday,
OF the unsuspected presence of a large
quantity of opium shipped from San
Francisco, has disclosed the way i'm
which the opium Is brought to this
place. There is no attempt, the Gus
toms officials believe, to smuggle the
stun in, the precaution to disguise the
real character of the stun being taken
for an entirely different purpose.
1t has been generally supposed that
the use of opium in these islands had
decreased this impression being created
by the fact that there was little If any
brought through the local custom
house. Sundays discovery discloses the
reason why so little was sent through
the regular channel.
The opium is gotten in San Francisco
and after being regularly stamped by
the customs officials there is sent down
here in cases which are marked some
thing else than opium. The principal
idea in doing this is to prevent GER
tain people from learning the nature of
the stuff Should it be known that the
stuff was opium, an attempt would be
made by various people to tap the con-
signment. BY sending the valued stun
under some other name, this danger is
avoided
AS a matter of fact. the importation
of opium has been steadily on the in
crease. The single consignment by the
Alameda consisted of 525 pounds but
this is only a very small proportion of
the amount which is brought here every
month. The amount brought from the
coast is enormous and, judging from the
statistics, it is steadily increasing
While the local collector would no
doubt, like to have the stuff imported
directly here in order that the local
port could receive it's just credit and
share of the customs receipts on goods
consumed here the present arrangement
of shipping the stuff from San Fran
time to come. Evidently the consignees
desire to maintain secrecy about the
amount of opium which is used in these
islands, and so long as they have de-
sire, just so long will they continue to
ship via San Francico

IN PRAISE Of THE UEHUA
"JUSTITIA" WANTS IT AS THE
EMBLEM.
Sings Its Praises in Ardent Fashion-Is
Royal in Color and Royal in Conquest
OF Volcanic Slopes.

EDITOR STAR: In yesterdays edi-
torial proposing the choosing of floral
emblem for the Territory comes a time
ly and happy suggestion. with Hawai-
ian customs and Hawaiian things re-
pidly dwindling out of sight and, in
few years, out of mind, the custom Oh
choosing a flower as an emblem of state,
territory or country, becomes in the
present instance doubly apt
When our emblem is chosen and we
are on a par with all the other parts or
the great union of America let us be
able to look back to it and say that this
is something Hawaiian, a link between
the old order and the new. Thus tar
Mr.. Editor you run hand in hand with
my idea in the emphasis you make that
the chosen flower shall be distinctly
Hawaiian. You mention many of the
islands most beautiful flowers but, II
/ am not mistaken, finally allow your
preference to alight upon blossom
beautiful in itself, the kokio keokeo or
white hibiscus. but which Is not con-
fined to the area of these Islands by a
considerable area but both in its family
that of the mallow, and in the particu-
lar shrubby variety that grows here eX-
tends over the wide range of latitude
from Syria to the western Ind"
1t has one advantage that is neces-
| sary it is beautiful, easily drawn, 1t ls
yet capable of conventiOnalizing for de-
corative form of ornament. Have we
not however, other flowers that If not
actually inseparable from this group,
vet grow on no other portion of terri
torial or state soil and possess all the
| necessary characteristics? There is the
pendant hula bloom with its lingering
delicate balm it's beauty is evanescent
| but rare. There are the others that you
have mentioned in your writing and yet
others who might press their claim.
| But surely the Lehua the scarlet,
royal Lehua with its glossy leaf mantle
and spiky blooms has the prior right
| When the lava cools and Nature rests

Why not the Lehua then for emblem

MAY RESCIND IT'S ACTION.
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMIT
TEE TO MEET
Session Will BE Called by Chairman
Kennedy-Members want to Recon-
slider Enlargement of Committee.

A meeting Of the Republican Terri
totial Central Committee will probably
be called in a few days, and there are
indications that the action taken re-
Gently by which the executive commit
tee was enlarged to eleven members,
Will be rescinded. The opposition
aroused by the action has changed the
minds of some of those who We're at
the meeting, and the alleged violation
of the rules laid down by the conven-
ton is quite likely to be corrected
The result of such action would be to
make the committee consist of nine
members, depriving Col j. w. Jones
and j. A. Gilman of their places, these
being the two that were added at the
meeting which it is claimed was held in
violation of the rules, and which as is
also claimed took action in further vio-
latiOn of the rules. There would how
ever, be one vacancy to be filled on the
committee. Under the rule adopted at
the last meeting, which will probably be
affirmed i'm any event, the place of w.
J. Coelho, who has been absent a year
or so, may be declared vacant. The
appointment of a successor will prob
ably be made. Col. Jones, John Lane
and ]. A. Gilman are likely to be candi-
dates.
The central committee has other busi-
meeting. The matter of completing
work on the memorial to Mckinley and
sending it to Washington has to be
looked after.
Since the return of j. A. Kennedy,
chairman of the Republican Territorial
Central Committee. there has been talk
of another meeting of that body and of
the executive committee Among the
members of the larger body there has
been discussion of a reconsideration of
the action taken at the last meo ting,
when the executive committee was en-
| larged to eleven members, i'm spite of
the conventions rule declaring that 1t
should be nine.
Chairman Kennedy stated when ask
ed for his views that he had not yet
reached a conclusion as to what course
to take in the matter He had been
back only a few days, and had not had
time to look into the matter. AS to the
call of the meeting, that appeared to
have been irregular, but a quorum had
attended and no objections had been
raised on that point. The chairman ex-
pressed himself as regretting that a
controversy had arisen, but did not
want to express an opinion without
| further investigation. as to the legality
or propriety of the enlargement of the
executive committee.

PLANTATION MANAGERS
ANDREW ADAMS AT THE HEAD
OF KAHUKU.
w. A. Baldwin Leaves Kahuku to Sue
ceed the Late Hugh Morrison at the
Hawaiian Sugar Co.'S Plantation.

Two changes have been announced
in plantation management this morn
ing that should prove of interest
The managership of Kahuku planta-
ton to Andrew Adams, w. A. Baldwin
the present manager, transferring to
Makaweli. Mr. Adams was at one time
on the staff of "A local paper, leaving
the fourth estate for a position on the
Eva plantation when w. j. Lowrie was
manager, with the avowed intention OF
learning the plantation business.
When Mr.. Lowrie went to Spreckels-
vile, Adams went with him in higher
capacity and now after few years ex-
perience has accepted the proffered po-
sition of full hedged manager.
The other change is that of Willow
A. Baldwin from Kahuku to the Ha-
waiian Sugar Company at Makaweh,
Kauai to fill the vanacy left by the
death of Hugh Morrison some six
months ago in San Francisco.

DR.. NEL0N MISSING
DISAPPEARED FROM HOSPITAL
LAST FRIDAY,
Without Permission From His Physi-
cian-May Have Skipped to Coast on
the China Last Sunday.

Dr. II. Il. Winslow, who was con-
victed of assault and battery on a lit
tie native child at WaiahOle and was
out on bail panding an appeal from his
sentence of six months in Jail, has dis
appeared. Nobody seems to know what
has become of him and it is claimed in
some quarters that he has left Homo
lulu for good.
He certainly took French Leave" so
far as his physicians We're concerned.
The last time Winslow was in the police
court was November g. when the sec
ond case of assault and battery against
him was called. The case was then
continued indefinitely as it was stated
Winslow was seriously i'll at the Queens
Hosnital suffering from cancer or ulcer
Of the stomach. DR.. Cooper attended
him. &@M
Winslow was regarded as very i'll and
although there was no Improvement in
his condition last week, he suddenly
left the hospital last Friday and went
to parts at present unknown to the ma
jority of people. While leaving the hos
pital so suddenly, Winslow did so with
out securing permission from DR.. Coop
er.
1t is possible that if Winslow left
these islands, the only vessel he could
have taken was the City of Peking
which left for the Orient on Friday, but
as it went away at s o'clock in the
morning he hardly had time in which
to take passage on 1t.
Winslow was out on $3.50 bail to in
sure his appearance in the police court
on the second case and also in his APP
peal to the circuit court from his sem
tence on the first case. 1t may be pos
sible that the man has simply gone to
the other side of the island to recover
his strength hut the general impression
| is that he has levanted for good to the
Coast, so his bail will have to be for
feited. 1t was put up by number of
! aCuuaintances

handed down an opinion as to the claim
of the Honolulu Iron Works, against
the Department of Public Works for
$500 on account of a contract entered
in June, 1900, the sum claimed being
an installment due on the signing of
the contract for construction of pump.
The Attorney-Gene says there is no
reason why the claim should not be
paid, as far as funds are available, out
of the legislatures appropriation for
unpaid bills.
