LAST OF THREE LEGISLATIVE
GATHERINGS.
The Day After the End in the Capitol
Building and Bungalow-Routine
Work Going On.

The third house" is the only one in
session today 1yt,s is the house that
meets on the grass in front of the
capitol building. There is a circle of
chairs in the shade just in front of the
building and it has been the custom for
many days past for lawmakers and
others to gather in recess hours to talk
third house" is in full session, with
every chair occupied, while in the
rooms where the representatives and
senators held forth only a few clerks
are at work.
The scenes about the capitol building
and the bungalow were very quiet to-
day, in comparison with the past two
months. Many Legislators showed up,
however Nine o'clock this morning
found half dozen in their seats, as if
they half expected that there might be
a meeting. Clerk Meheula of the house
and his assistants were on hand early
to start work on the journal, in spite of
the late session last night
In the senate chambers in the bunga-
low all was quiet. Only the janitor and
the messenger appeared until late in the
morning and the bungalow and officers
club We're quieter than they have been
for many a day.
In front of the officers club the flag
that was flung to the breeze in honor of
the legislature no longer flies. 1t was
down yesterday, as a sort of officers
club decision that the session had ended
so that the senate that met yesterday
had no flag flying to do it honor
Makekau was on hand this morning,
and Prendergast, speaker Akina, Puuki
Senator Kalauokalani, Representative
keliikoa and others looked in to see
what was doing in the vacant throne
room, while outside the third house sat
in Carinng pnnplaNrn Gandine 10 oil
from many pipes and butts, and dis
posing of hard legislative problems
with ease and dispatch. 1t was a nice
comfortable. lazy house, but it was
satisfied that it knew all that was to be
known, and If it's members could have
been allowed to rise and file solemnly
into the circle of seats under the paint
ings of past monarchs in the throne
room. they would have done more busi-
ness in a week than the 80 members
rightfully occupying the seats did in
their 60 days.

HAS DOLE POWER TO APPROVE
THEM YET?
The Organic Law Contains no Clear
Provision Against Approval After the
Legislature Ends.

According to a United States Supre-
me court decision in an Illinois case,
bills left in the governors hands after
a sine die adjournment of the legtsla-
ture might still become laws If signed
by him. The decision makes the social
ed pocket veto" depend upon the ten
day limit, and if it applies to Hawaii,
makes it still possible for the governor
to approve and make laws of some of
the acts in his hands.
1t is claimed by some that there Is
nothing in the organic act of Hawaii
to prevent the governor from signing
acts after the legislature adjourns sine
die: If he were so disposed he might,
according to lawyers who hold that the
decision in tho Illinois case referred to
applies to Hawaii, make laws of several
important measures. including the
county government act.
o. The organic act says that all acts
passed by the Legislature shall in order
to be valid be signed by the governor,
and then proceeds to give exceptions.
The only case in which an act could be
valid without the gubernatorial sig
nature is where the governor keeps ii
ten days, while the legislature is in
session, and neither vetoes nor signs it
There is one provision which might be
construed to mean that bills remaining
in the governors hands at the time OF
adjournment are dead 1t says that
IF any bill shall not be returned
by the governor within ten days (Sun-
days eXceptedD after it shall have beer
presented to him. the same shall be 8
law in like manner as if he had signed
it, unless the Legislature by their ad-
journment prevents it's return, in which
case it shall not be a law"
Attorney Robertson, representative
from Honolulu, said when seen this
morning that there was no doubt of the
finality of the pocket Veto but that
a decision given in the Illinois case
gave the executive of that state. al
least the right to approve bills after
sine die adjournment of the legisla-
ture.

RUSSIA IN The Orient
MILITARY ACTIVITY REPORTED
IN MANCHURIA.
Chaffee and Waldersee Disagree Over
the Troops to Guard the Gate of the
Forbidden City.

LONDON, April 23.-According to a
dispatch from ST. Petersburg to the
Daily Mail official information has been
received that renewed military activity
is beginning in Manchuria. Chinese
troops are strongly intrenched at three
points around Moukden. They are
armed with good Mauser rifles and have
thirty Krupp guns. To the eastward of
Moukden there are $4,000 men under the
chief Boxer, General Lutanz To the
northwest near Kulo, there are 5000
Chinese under the former Governor of
Moukden. To the eastward, in Mon
golia and near the In-Shan mountain,
there are 5000 more under the Chinese
General Schu.
Admiral AlieXoff has accordingly or
ganized an expedition under General
Zerpenski, consisting of two regiments
and five sotnias of Cossacks, sixteen
guns and body of volunteers, to op-
crate against the three points men
toned. The first movement was sue
cessfully carried out in the beginning
Of April. Kulo, which Is $50 kilometers
from Moukden, was Stormed, and the
Ex-Governor of Moukden was taken
prisoner. In this action the Russians
had thirteen men killed and four Off
GERS and eighteen men wounded The
advance toward the Turchausen posi-
ton was then begun.
owing to the departure of most of
the Russian troops from Mcukden, the
latter city has become very unsafe. AL
most nightly Russian sentinels are
found shot in the back. The situation
in Southern Manchurla is disquieting,
and another advance of Russian troops
will be made in the early spring.
PEKlNG, April 23.-Many applica-
tions have been made to Mr.. Rockhill
and General Chaffee by Chinese of all
degrees for the retention in China OF
the American troops until the general
withdrawal of the troops of the powers
Many of those who are making this re-
quest think the withdrawal of the
Americans will make the other remain
longer. There are also people who do
not desire to see any of the soldiers go,
fearing anarchy and an uprising
against foreigners.
Field Marshal Won Waldersee has
made an application that the gate of
the Forbidden City be guarded by Ger
man troops after the departure Of the
Americans. General Chaffee has re-
piled that American soldiers will con-
tinue TO guard the gate. At this the
Germans are indignant, saying this
| impugns their honesty and that II the
! United States desires to do her share
of policing the city she should leave
behind enough troops for that purpose ,
that merely a few men belonging to the
legation guards should control the
gate, which will be within the Ameri-
can quarters, cannot be allowed. If
| General Chaffee persists in this course
| diplomatic representations will be made
| in the matter.
are meeting daily. They do not at
\ present show disposition to reduce
the claims, which many think to be
| extremely reasonable.

GLAZE IS FOUND GUILTY
CONVICTED OF MURDER IN THE
FIRST DEGREE.
William Trewella's Slayer, Formerly Of
Honolulu, Given Life Imprisonment
by San Francisco Jury.

SAN FRANCISCO, April Give
ind the defendant, Robert e. Glaze,
guilty of murder in the first degree and
fix the penalty at imprisonment for
life"
This was the verdict found by the
jury who tried Robert e. Glaze for
the murder of William Trewella, his
partner in the business of the Windsor
Hotel, on January 14th last. The case
was given to the jury at 1890 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and at 4:20 o'clock.
or exactly four hours later, the jury
returned into court with a verdict.
The verdict was compromise one,
and the jurors spent most of the time
in effecting an agreement as to it's de-
gree. The first ballot is said to have
stood 10 guilty" mot guilty" AS
this was merely trying-out ballot, the
vote for conviction was soon unani-
nous. But the degree of the verdict
was not so quickly arrived at, and two
hours were devoted to it's discussion.
Assistant District Attorney Creamy,
in making the closing argument for the
prosecution, stated that while there
had undoubtedly been some business
differences between the partners, they
did not furnish an excuse for so cow
ardly and dastardly a murder. While
the bellboy O'Connor, might not have
the strongest of intellects, he at least
had good eyesight. He saw the shots
fired, and told what he saw. The inn
probability of the story of Glaze and
Trewella going into the dark stOrerOom
on the morning of the day of the homi-
eide was dwelt upon. The Assistant
District Attorney did not believe that
the defendant, in the full vigor of his
young manhood, and with a loaded re-
volver in his pocket, would have turn
ed and walked away had Trewella
said las Glaze testified, D. you
1 will kill you!" The fact that the
smoke in the bakery was most dense
near where Trewella fell showed that
defendant had approached his victim
and shot him down at close range, in
stead of standing at the other side OF
the bakery. as Glaze had testified.
when this foul fiend from hell sent
'Trewella to his maker, the motive came
from a heart as black as the crime
committed" concluded Creamy.
Foote objected to the foul fiend'
reference because it did not appear ir
the testimony.

UNITED STATES PROPERTY
OPINION IN REGARD TO WATER
RIGHTS ON MAUI.
Attorney General Favors Granting DIR.
Raymonds Application, But Grant
Should be Approved.

Attorney General Dole this afternoon
wrote an opinion for the Governor on
the petition of DIR. Raymond to develop
the water rights of Kahikinui lands on
Maui, as follows:
To His EXCellency Sanford b, Dole,
Governor of the Territory of Hawaii.
Sir: / have the honor, at your request,
to submit the following report relative
to the application of Dr. James II. Ray
mond for permission to prospect for
water in the land of Kahikinui, and,
If found, to use the same according to
the terms which he offers.
The facts, as [ understand them, are
as follows: Kahikinui is a tract of
about 1900 acres. None of it is cap
able of being utilized for agriculture;
part of it is mountain pasturage and
the remainder is waste of rocks. DR..
Raymond is in possession as assignee Of
lease from the government. The lease
has about thirteen years to run. The
value of the land will be greatly in
creased If a supply of water sufficient
for drinking purposes can be developed.
Dr. Raymond has already spent about
thousand dollars prospecting, and has
obtained sufficient water to supply one
drinking trough. He thinks it probable
that, by tunnelling six or eight hundred
feet, enough water can be found to
fill one-half inch pipe This VIII re-
quire quite a large outlay. DR.. Ray
llOlu = proposition is TO assume the
risk and expense on condition that one
half of the water which he finds shall
be appurtenant to the land of Kahiki-
nue., and the other half appurtenant to
a neighboring land some six miles away
! which he owns in fee simple. he having
| the perpetual right to convey it to said
| land by means of a water pipe.
| The oily utility of this large section
! OF Maui is for graSing purposes, and
| the number of cattle than can exist up
! on it depends upon the possibility of OBJ
! tanning water for them to drink. 1t has
| heretofore been considered, as 1 un-
derstand, by persons familiar with this
mountain tract, that such an under
taking as DR.. Raymond proposes is inn
practicable; and If he, at his own risk
and expense, Is willing to try It, it
certainly is for the public interest that
he should be permitted to do so.
l am inclined to think that it is in
the power of the territorial government
to accept his offer.
While, under the Organic Act the
| control, use. Income and benefit of this
land Is in the Territory of Hawaii un-
! til Congress otherwise directs, the title
is in the United States and / think any
! contract between the territorial govern
ment and DR.. Raymond should contain
! aprovision that 1t is made subject to the
rights of the United States.
| / have the honor to be, Sir,
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
e. p. DOLE,
Attorney General.

DEFENDANTS
COURT HELD FIRST
SENTENCE TOO HEAVY.
Water Front Red" Escapes Trial by
Judge Wilcox-Examination of Thone
Continued Until Next Wednesday.

Poloaiea was fined $3.50 today by
Judge Wilcox for selling liquor without
license. This sentence by the court
was made as the result of an order
from the Supreme Court directing the
district magistrate to resentence the
defendant.
According to the law, whenever de-
fendant is twice convicted of selling
liquor without a license he is to re-
ceive a sentence of $500 and three
months Imprisonment. When Poloaiea
was convicted in Judge WilcoX's court
of violating the LIQUOR law the prose-
cution claimed that it was his second
conviction so the heavy sentence pre-
scribed was levied against the defend
ant An appeal was taken. The Su-
preme Court decided that the convic-
tion was not the second time the de-
fendant had been found guilty and that
he should be fined in smaller amount
for first offence. He was remanded
from the Supreme Court for resentence
so Judge Wilcox fined him $3.50.
The cases of assault and battery
against j. Daughlin, the Water Front
Red" and w. Mccarthy the shipping
master were nolle pressed in Judge
Wilcox's court this morning by H.
Wood and w. j. Johnson the alleged
victims of the attacks by the shipping
masters. The court toasted Wood and
Johnson in scathing terms for dropping
the prosecutions. Red" is the indivi-
dual who threatened to drive all the
newspaper reporters out of business on
the Water Front, while Mccarthy is
the same fellow who was convicted
last week of a brutal assault upon an
unfortunate woman.
The case against w. H. Thone charg-
ed with assault to commit murder up
on f. Schaefer, his father-in-law, was
continued until the 7th by Judge Will
cox today.

ward Hanlin, on the bark Hesper is
being enlarged upon in the United
States district court today by the in
PRODUCTION of additional testimony.

assaulted and beat the boy using clubs
and other things for the purpose. The

cruel. Most of the sailors heard the
boys cries when being beaten and saw
the bruises.
