 Manila. Jan 25.-The executive con- mittee of the federal party has filed q petition requesting the Philippines commission to urge upon President Mckinley that the passage of the Spooner bill by congress is an urgent necessity, for the reasons that the progress of the archipelago demands an authority which can legislate and control the incorporation of concerns. regulate mining claims, dispose of public lands and perform other func- lions not vested in either the military or executive authorities.

To Recover on Judgment of $2CO
 for an Irish Setter.

for an Irish Setter.
 Dr Victor A. Kelley and his brother William were arrested this noon by Constable William Gillette on a body writ issued by the district court. The arrests were made on an execution to recover a judgment given against the above named and their brother James by jury 2 few weeks ago. The suit was brought by William Payeur for S2OU in lieu of an Irish setter which the defendants took from his premises during the summer. A jury gave Il verdict for $500, but as this was in ex- cess of the amount of damages claimed the extra $1OO was disallowed. The doctor and his brother will be taken to the county jail on the 4:45 o'clock train this afternoon unless they make up their minds to pay in the meanwhile which, however. there seems no pros pect of their doing. When their broth CT James is arrested he will follow them to the jail.

mUT1NY ON BOARD.
Emigrants Demanded More Food From
 the Captain.

the Cuptaln.
 Honolulu, Jan IT, via Victoria, B. C.. Jan 25.-A mutiny of Porto Ricans on board an Island steamer about to take them to one of the Hawaiian islands, startled Honolulu Wednesday night of this week. The vessel was stopped just as she was leaving Honolulu har- bor by the action of the emigrants, one of whom drew knife on the master of the vessel, Captain Olsen. It is stated that the cause of the trouble was the failure to feed the emigrants. The Porto Ricans say that all the food they had on the day of their arrival in Honolulu and up to the time of their departure for Hawaii at about , o'clock in the afternoon was a bun for each. When they were all put aboard the island steamer, which was the h. ter Island company's packet Re An Hou. they found that the cook had no meat prepared. On the vessel were 12S of the 39S who came here on the City of Peking. It was a matter of some time for the cook to prepare food for such number. hence the TOW. The Ke Au Hou suddenly dropped her anchor in the harbor a few minutes after she had left the city of Pekin and signalled for the police. Deputy Chilungsworth and several officers went out to the vessel and restored or der Captain Olsen wanted the man who had drawn the knife arrested and taken ashore, but the others threat ened a general revolt if this was done and the man with the knife was al lowed to remain on board. A search was made for the knife. but it could not be found. Two policemen re- mained on board the vessel and she proceeded to her destination.
 A During the, TOW the emigrants who were destined to various plantations, became so much mixed that there IS fear of more trouble in sorting them out. They had all been given tags bearing their names and number, ana the name of the plantation to Whlch they were to go. 1n their anger over the lack of food and threatened arrest of one, of their number. many of them tore the tags off their clothes anu threw them away.
 Four hundred more negroes from stba Jrnited States also arrived on the Picking.
 X Some vigorous local objections are beeinning to be heard to the importa- tion of negro labor as it is feared that some of the criminal experiences ot the southern states may be repeatesl here if negroes are brought in large numbers. A row of this sort has al ready been reported from NalinEu' Maui, where pistols are said to nave been drawn during . difficulty over some women. Particulars have no1 reached Honolulu.

POWER OF WALKING DELEGATE

TO Be Tested at That Time-Char1es
 Howe Will See If He Has a Right
 to Take Away His Workmen-
 Trouble Arose Over Employment ot
 a Non-Union Carpenter.
 A case Of great importance to everv uiiioIi ana non-unlon tradesman in the Sts Will De heard in the city court -nonuay morning. It will be the first , .'ine' such d case will have been tried here and without question it will be carried through all the courts for the sake Of establishing precedent. The polnl Ill question is whether or not q waking delegate of any union has tue right to call out the workmen be- ionglng to his union employed on g iob.
 The accused in this case is Joseph sandlford. the travelling representative or walking delegate of the carpenters. union, and the complainant is Charles Howe, a builder, who has q contract to put up house on North Riverside street. near the West Main street bridge. The alleged cause of the trouble IS non-union carpenter named Homer Ingraham. The case against Sandiford is boycotting. Such .' ScAdp4dluL WaS never De1Ore 1GAr0 ill the city court in this town
 NIT Howe says that all the summer he engaged none but union carpenters if he could possibly get along without non-union men. He says he is fairly busy at present and wanted all the men he could get. That was why he engaged Ingraha1n. He has no fault to find with the principle representa- by Sandiford. but claims that Sandi- ford ought to be at least man, if not gentleman, in his dealings with him. He called upon MT Ingraham yesterday and undertook to bulldoze and speak to him in a way that would not be tolerated by the carpenters or any other union. He says that Ingra- ham would have consented to join the union if he had been addressed prop- erly by Sandiford. However, wheR Sandiford ascertained that Ingraham was non-union man he instantly in- formed the contractor that he wollld have to call the other workmen off the job if Ingraham was not immediately discharged. Howe claims that before he had time to consider the matter Sandiford did call the union men off, whereupon, Mir Howe. seeing trouble ahead, immediately discharged Ingra~ ham. Such is the case in SubStance, the details of which will come out in the court proceedings Monday morns ing

WHEAT CROP FAILURE.

Washington, Jan 25.-United States Consul Swalm at AIontevideo informs the state department that the wheat crop in the River Plata provinces of both Arsentine and Uuruguay is re ported in very bad condition, owing to excessive rains, the ground having been wet for several weeks. It is doubtful whether the wheat raised will be sufficient to supply the home consumption alone. It is thought the River Plata exports of wheat will fall at least 50 per cent below those of last year. The same is true of linseed.
