WHY DID THEY TARRY IN
HONOLULU BUT ONE DAY?
Mystery of the Journey Here Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar Vance Who Paid $500 To
Stay "a Hours.

Who were Mr.. and Mrs Edgar
Vance?
They sailed from San Francisco on
the last trip of the America Maru with
through tickets to Japan, but Wien
they reached Honolulu they left the
vessel, compromising the Captain in
full for the $400 fine he had to pay for
allowing thess. TO do SO, and, sojourning
for a day in this city. boarded the
steamer Mariposa and re-embarked for
San Francisco. Why? That is the
mystery.
They had purchased tickets on the
foreign steamer and paid $500 for them.
Whether they at first intended to go to
the Orient or not-whether their plans
were changed by something they learn
ed after they had left San Francisco.
or whether it was all pre-arrangad
with the purpose of deceiving someone
whom they desired to keep in ignor-
ance-these and a great many other
Questions can best be answered by Mr..
and Mrs. Edgar Vance themselves.
Whatever their reasons, the trip was
certainly rather expensive one, con-
sidering that it was only from San
Francisco to Honolulu and return, with
a visit to the Islands of only a few
hours. When they reached port Mr..
Vance went to the captain and request
ed that he and his wife be allowed to
forfeit their tickets to japan and be
left at Honolulu, but the captain re-
piled that this could not be done, as
the company would be fined heavily in
case they allowed passengers to re-
main in the Islands. The young man
pondered a moment, then asked what

AMERICAN NAVAL STATION.
WELLINGTON, Dec. Ex-Governor
TiIley. who comes to New Zealand on
the Abarenda, from the United States
naval station, Tutuila, Samoa, is likely
to visit Wellington, though the ship
will not come further south than Auck-
land. The Americans have been very
busy of late in connection with their
new naval station in the South Pacific.
The natives of the island of Tutuila
are friendly disposed towards them,
and are very thankful that a continent
tai power has been prevented from
stepping in. The Spreckels' line Of
steamers will, in the near future, give
the German port of Apia the go-by,
and will call at Tutuila instead. Much
of the success of the American admin
istration so far has been the result
of tact and energy displayed by Mr..
Edwin Gurr, the New ZeaIander, who
has been appointed judge and secretary
of native affairs. Mr.. Gurr, writing
to friend in Wellington, says the
sympathies Of the Americans are en-
tirely with the British and the colon
ials, and it has been quite a pleasure
to live with them during the recent
troubles of our nation. He expresses
hope that the New Zealanders will
give the officers and men of the ABB
arenda good time during their stay
in this colony

SANITARY RULES
AND REGULATIONS

The Board of Health spent the great
er part of yesterday afternoon consid-
ering sanitary rules and regulations
for the district of Wailuku, including
Kahuiui. The committee which had
been working on the matter for sew
eral weeks had a report ready which
was considered section by section. DIR.
Cooper thought that the rules which
governed Honolulu should be used as
far as practicable in the Maui districts,
but this was not considered wise by the
rest of the members About twenty
five of the sections were gone over and
the consideration of the balance was
deferred until the next meeting.
A letter from the Wilder Steamship
Company TO the president of the Board
of Health was not read as it was for
the most part a personal communica-
ton. However, it referred to complaints
which the company had against Super
intendent Reynolds of the Leper Set
Element in not notifying them in ample
time to get their steamer for the settle
ment loaded with the settlement goods.
DR.. Pratt said that in the instance
spoken of by the steamship company
he had personally given them three
days notice.

ENTITLED TO A CHOICE.

Mrs Custer says in Harper's Bazaar
that she was with the Seventh Cavalry
that marched and camped and secuted
on the route laid out for the Kansas
Pacific Railroad. The food was monot-
onous, and those on the march over
the barren country would tell tantaliz-
ing lies Of the good things they had
eaten in the States. The habit of hos
pitality, however, was so fixed that the
soldiers would merely add plate for
the visitor, or give up their own II

that it would be s400 he Immediately
paid it for the company and left the

getting off at Honolulu, paying the 800

could be within two weeks inside the
boundaries of the States and have spent

1t is much more probable that their
plans were changed by something
learned after leaving San Francisco.

a PARDON IS GRANTED ALLEN.
Slayer of Slade in Americas, En- Route
Home.

q. s. Allen, who six years ago killed
Paul Hill Slade upon the streets of
Dawson, was in Americas yesterday,
en- route from the state penitentiary
camp at Redwood to Dawson, where L 6
goes free citizen.
And he goes with the full sanction of
Gov. Gambler.
For some time past Messrs. Yeomans
& Ralnes, of Dawson, attorneys for the
prisoner, have been working zealousIy
to secure his freedom.
This at last has been accomplished,
and Yesterday morning the doors of the
prison at Redwood in Dooly county,
were thrown open and Allen again
breathed the air of freedom after con-
tinement of five years.
He was convicted in 1895, and some
time thereafter sent to Redwood. The
details of the murder of Slade are we'll
remembered,
Mr.. Allen was accompanied here yes
terday by his faithful attorney, Mr.. A.
NJ. Raines, who felt quite elsted at his
success in getting his man out of the
pen where jury had consigned him
for life.
They will go to Dawson on the early
train this morning.
