THE STORY OF A BATTLE IN
CHINA.
An Army of the Bow Wong Faction
Reported Beaten With Terrible
Slaughter.

VANCOUVER, December 25.-News
of q massacre of a reform force in Chi
ma and the beheading of twenty-seven
reform leaders was received here to-
day in cable by w. A. Cumyow, Sec
retary of the Chinese Reform Associa-
ton in America The engagement took
place in the province of Chihili, DO
pulous section of the Yangtse Valley,
in central China. 1t resulted in the
killing of 1900 men and the complete
Generalization of the reform forces
The battle, into which the reformers
We're brought by treachery, occurred
on December Is, and the reform move
ment has, as a consequence, been drop
per in all that part of the country
Chinese here are loud in their express
sions of disapproval of the conduct of
the campaign by the leaders.
1t appears, from the few details Civ
en- IN the cable received today, that
Tong Mu, the reform leader, at the
head of a badly-armed force of 12 900
men. paid visit of Chung Hi Tung, the
Governor of the district, who, though
an imperial officers, was believed to be
in sympathy with the reform move
ment. Tong was invited to the Gov
ernoFs palace, and, with his 10, 900 men.
marched into the city. They left all
their arms outside the gates, taking the
precaution only to carry their loaded
TeNOlNeTS.
There were 5000 imperial troops in the
town, but nothing was feared from
them, and delay of a day took place
in order that other reform leaders
might be sent for. When the audi
ence with the Governor was finally ar
ranged twenty-seven of the leading
followers of Kang Yu Wei were ad-
mitted.
Then a disagreement arose, and the
EnNprnnr ho nd
taken into the courtyard, where they
were beheaded. In the meantime a Sc
cret order had been sent to the i'm
perial troops to descend upon the poor
ly armed rabble of reformers. The 5000
well-drilled soldiers took the country
people completely by surprise, but the
later pluckily fought their way through
and escaped. They carried, away their
wounded, but left 1900 dead on the field
and scattered about the streets of the
city. The cable says that the scene of
the butchery was frightful.

Attorney William A. Henshall receiv-
ed by the Zealandia advices from
Washington showing that the matter
of admittin" Chinese citizens of the Re-
public. of Hawaii to citizenship in the
United States had not yet been finally
decided. The advices came from the
Acting Commissioned General of Immi-
grafton, by whom it is stated that 1.-The
status of Chinese citizens of the former
Republic of Hawaii is now receiving
the consideration of the Honorable, the
Attorney General of the United States,
as to what, if any, additional evidence
will be required of your said client to
secure admission to the ports of the
United States"
The case under consideration is that
of I. Kat Poo, in whose behalf Hen
shall made an appeal to Washington,
Kat Poo can go to the United States as
a Chinese merchant, in the usual way
but he wants to go as an American ci-
ttzen. The appeal was made against
the recent decision of the treasury de-
partment to the effect that the Chinese
ciizens of Hawaii were not made Anne
rican citizens by the territorial bill.
The news that the matter has not
yet been decided is good news for
Chinatown, raising the hopes of a
number of Hawaiian Chinese that they
will vet be made Americans. Kat Poo
is one of those who were supposed to
have acquired citizenship, and who
were allowed to vote as Americans. be-
fore the treasury department decision
in the matter was received here.

left Pago Pago on the first. This is
supposed to be her last trip to Sydney

NEGRO LABoRERs ARRIVE.
Twenty Men and Women Go to The
Wailuku Plantation.

A party of 81 negroes arrived on the
steamer Zealandia yesterday, to work
on the Wailuku plantation. This will
probably prove the initiatory party of a
large influx of negroes from Tennessee
who are to be brought to the Hawaiian
Islands by Brewer and Company. This
firm has been working for months past
trying to secure laborers from the
Southern States Through Colonel Bean
of Tennessee, they succeeded in getting
the first instament Colonel Bean ac-
companied the party most of whom are
from Nashville. With the crowd are
five women. Passage was taken on the
Claudine for Maui shortly after the ar
rival of the steamer from San Francis
co. Colonel Bean will return here on
Saturday.
The men will work as field hands.
With the partv is colored man nam
ed Mansen who had a produce store In
Nashville. Mansen was the special
emissary of Bean and induced the ne
groes to try the experiment. They are
to report upon conditions here and ad-
wise other members of their race, re-
garding the advisabil of emigrating
to this country. Mansen will return to
Tennessee with Colonel Bean, after the
second installment of laborers.

UVERYMAN' 5 TRUST PAU
ITS LIFE TO THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Lawyers. of Combination Appear This
Morning and Announce That the
Trust Has Been Dissolved.

The head of the liverymans trust was
Topped off this morning and fell into the
basket of District Attorney Baird. This
is the last known combination in res
trainst of trade that the officials are
now aware of, although a careful
search is being made for others The
medical associations price list cannot
be approached under Federal laws, as
trade is not concerned in combinations
for the benefit of professional labor
The liverymen's combine was one of
the boldest of the lot, though unique,
withal. That it was blazen trust can
not be disputed, in the light of dis
closures. Five livery stables had set
prices up high enough to break a bank
and had then signed articles to abide by
the same. 1t was gotten up on the lines
of corporation, with a penalty if one
Of the members hired a surrey a saddle
horse or a spawned cayuse below the
schedule price. Mr.. Baird was anxious
to expose this combine in court.
This morning the attorneys for the
trust appeared in the office of the
United States district tttorney, deliver
ed up the signed copy of the agreement
between the five livery stables and an
nounced that the agreement had been
dissolved Mr.. Baird required that po-
sitive proof of dissolution be furnished.
He was answered that proofs would be
filed during today or tomorrow. This
proposal was accepted, and if the law
yers come to time the incident will be
closed
Mr.. Baird had given the liverymen
until tomorrow to decide what they
would do. If they decided to fight the
case. as it was at one time thought
they might do, the district attorney
was going to proceed criminally against
the perpetrators of the trust. Their
attorneys came in day ahead of time
and saved their bacon"
The hack stables of the city were
not concerned in the combine. The fare
charged by public vehicles is regulated
by Territorial law. 1t was only the
straight liverymen.

Victim May Die

Sam Baron, the sailor charged with
assault and battery upon j. Hansen,
another sailor, of the brig w. G. Irwin,
may have to answer to a charge of
manslaughter His alleged victim is in
very critical condition at the hospital,
as a result of blood poisoning said to
have resulted from being bitten by Ba-
ron. ...-......
The row in which Hansen was hurt
took place on December on board the
brig w. G. Irwin, and resulted in Han
sens little finger of the left hand being
so badly bitten that 1t was amputated
by the doctors. Hansen says that Baron
took the finger in his teeth and bit un-
til the bone was broken. Hansen went
to the hospital and it was found neces-
sary to cut the finger off.
Hansen called at the police station
and secured a warrant a week ago, but
since then he has not been able to ap-
pear in court. The police were notified
this morning that Hansen was in a
very precarious condition and the case
had to be postponed again.
Baron is now held without bail. II

Swede, who is said to have bitten two
other men on the Irwin. The vessel is

DR.. Carmichael, federal quarantine
officer here, is to leave for the main
land in the near future, his successor
at Honolulu, DR.. L. E. Cofer, having
arrived yesterday on the Zealandia. II
is reported that DR.. Carmichael is to GO
to San Francisco, where he has been
mentioned good deal lately as a sue
cessor to DR.. Kinyoun, but DR.. Car
michael does not confirm the report. He

weeks when the new physician has be-
come acquainted with the local work

steamship work and DIR. Wilson, will
succeed Dr. Jobe in looking after sail

DIR. Carmichael is now in his third
years service in this port. He has
been capable and popular official and
many Honolulu people will regret to see
him leave the city. Two years is the
usual term of service in one place, SC
that DR.. Carmichael has more than
served his term.

ANOTHER APPEAL THAT DID NO
GOOD.
The Holmes VS.. Ray Case Decided in
Favor of observation-disclosures Failed
to Prove Partnership.

The Supreme Court this morning in
the case of E. N. Holmes VS.. 1. s. Ray,
of Olaa decided a difference ofopinion in
regard to a land partnership in favor of
the defendant. The opinion is by JUS
tice Perry, and is concurred in by
Chief Justice Frear and Justice Gal
braith.
The complaiuf ID this rnAtler claimed
that on March 20, 1899, by oral agree
ment he entered into a partnership con-
cerning certain land with l. E. Ray
and that subsequently respondent
denied making any such agreement.
The prayer of the bill was that defend
and be required to show the amount
of moneys expended and expenses in
Cured under and by virtue of said per-
nership," and that plaintiff be ad-
judged and. deCreed to be the owner as
such partner of defendant, of an undi-
vided half interest in and to" the said
land upon payment by plaintiff of one
half of such sum as the Court shall
find that defendant has expended in
and about said partnership.
Respondent in his answer denied that
any partnership existed. The Circuit
judge dismissed the bill, and from
that decree appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court. The court finds that
the complainant failed to prove by a
perponderance of the evidence the ex-
istance of a certain agreement of par
tnership relied upon in the bill of com
plant and essential to the maintenance
of the suit and dismissed the bill
In the matter of the estate of the
late Manuahi Kanelawaia, the widow
Haili, has filed in the Circuit Court a
protest AGAINST the appointment of c.
Akana and Henry Maui as administra-
tors and declares that she and she
alone is entitled to administer the es-
tate.
In the matter of Elizabeth H. Robin
son VS.. Isaac j. Robinson, bill for par
tition, defendant has filed an answer
consenting to any fair scheme of par
tition, but pointing out that such is
next to impossible on account of Mill
lani street, cutting the land into two
unequal and irregular shaped lots.
Judge Humphreys will tomorrow re-
sumo regular business at chambers
He has enjoyed his vacation immense
ly-working every day.
Lawyers left yesterday for Hilo to
attend the January term of Judge
Littles court.
Local court officials and attorneys
have been rather favorably impressed
with Judge Little's idea of a calendar.
1t is not a blanket sheet arrangement
like the old. and can be carried easily
in the pocket. In all probability the 10
cal courts will adopt it. If so, there is
nothing to prevent Judge Little be-
coming famous as the inventor of the
new styled court calendar.

NEW CEMETERY OPENED.
Three Interments Made Yesterday at
Pearl City.

The first funerals at the new ceme-
terry at Pearl City were held yesterday,
three interments being held there in the
afternoon. The first was that of the late
w. Horace Wright, and the others were
an aged native woman and Japanese.
The trio of funeral corteges took the
special train of two cars and went to
the cemetery.
There was a very unpleasant wait
however, owing to the lack of a suffi-
cient number of funeral cars, on which
the caskets are conveyed from the rail-
road cars to the graves. AS only one
was in service the funerals had to oc-
cur one at a time, the various parties
waiting their turn. Mr.. Wright was
first inferred, after which the car was
put into requisition for the native fun
eral, and last, the Japanese. While the
delay was disagreeable to the native
and Japanese mourners earlier during
the stay at the cemetery, is was subse-
quently annoyin" to those who had
followed Mr.. Wright TO the grave, as
they We're compelled to wait at the
train until the other parties returned.
This matter can readily he remedied
however by the company. The services
were the first held at the new grounds
and it was only natural that arrange
ments were not as smooth as they will
be subsequently.

NOMENNOT PROVIDED FOR
OMISSION IN THE EXCLUSION
LAWS.
Snag Run Upon in Judge Estee's Court
That Must be Settled in Some Way
Tomorrow.

The jurisdiction of the court to hear
the habeas corpus of Vim Chun Sal will
be argued before Judge EStee tomor-
row morning. There was argument for
an hour this morning on the mater, in
which, the lawyers got their respective
bearings, and after that 1t was stipulat-
ed that adJournment be taken.
The case is a peculiar one on account
of an omission, intentional or other
wise, in the law. 1t appears that the
law prescribes how Chinese laborers
may land in the United States and gives
the collector of customs exclusive juris-
diction as to their qualifications. APP
peal lies only to the secretary of the
treasury, the courts having been given
no jurisdiction whatever. But even in
this law 600 FederaD reference is
made to men only, nothing whatever
being said of women.
The defenders of the little woman
Vim Chung Sal, made a desperate effort
this morning to prove that her Homo
lulu husband was a merchant. He is
a partner in firm and it's assistant
manager, and is also manager of a rice
plantation. But even if this were
proved the law breaks off in the mid
die and makes no provision for the
woman. All through it refers to men
only. 1t is that stickler that the law
yers and court must handle tomorrow.
Judge Estee doubts that he has juris-
diction. Paul Neumann, for the little
woman, contends that he has. District
Attorney Baird says that the collector
of customs alone has jurisdiction, un-
less appeal is taken to the secretary of
the treasury.
An important admission was made
by Commissioner Robinson in the dis
trict court this morning. When ques-
toned by the attorney for the govern
ment he admitted that the husband in
the case was married to a Hawaiian
woman-a second wife-who recently
died.
