SENATE TO HAVE LAST TACKLE
WITH MATTER.
Slate is Practically Complete But all
Appointments May be Approved
Differences of Opinion.

The fight over the Governors nomi-
nation will come tomorrow in the Sem
ate, and it looks as though there will
be some fun for the reason that there is
no unnanimity of sentiment in regard
to the matter. There are at least seven
votes for approving all of the appoint
ments and il is an even chance that
there are eight, which would carry the
measure. Were it not for two men In
Office TO whom %he party has objections
all would be approved without question.
The following disposition of the mat
ter has been agreed upon by the native
members of the Home Rule party:
r.. p. Dole, encouragement, to be
confirmed
Theo. f. Lansing, treasurer. not con-
firmed. Either John A. Hassinger or
w. H. Wright to be recommended in his
place.
II. c. Austin auditor, not confirmed.
John A. Hassinger or W. H. Wright to
be recommended.
j. A. McCandless, superintendent of
public works, not confirmed. James II,
Boyd to be recommended in his stead.
A. T. Atkinson, superintendent of
public instruction, to be confirmed.
Wray Taylor commissioner of agri-
culture, to be confirmed.
j. f. Brown, commissioner of public
lands, not confirmed. John r.. Bush to
be recommended.
w. e. Wall, surveyor, not confirmed.
No recommendation yet decided upon
Marston Campbell, road supervisor,
not confirmed. r. N. Boyd recommend
ed.
A. M. Brown, high Sheriff, confirmed
F.. j. Testa will be recommended as
agent of the Molokai settlement.
Dr. Russell is the seventh vote in
favor of confirming all appointments.
His argument is that the Governor is
responsible for the work of his APP
pointees and should be given a free
hand. Moreover, he does not find in the
Home Rule party any men that would
be better than those already in office
The eighth man that may vote for gen.
eral approval is Senator Kanuha. He
agrees with the ideas of DR.. Russell.

BEWARE Of The EXPLOSION
JUDGE WILCOX SOUNDS WARNING
ABOUT CHINESE ENGINEERS.
Trial of Jack ing Kwai Yesterday
Developed Some Surprising Facts.
How an Explosion was Averted.

In the trial of Jack Ung Kwai, a Chi
nese employe of the Honolulu Market
Co, Judge Wilcox made some re-
marks about Chinese engineers. Jack
was accused of having committed as
sault and battery upon Captain A.
Spillner by striking the ex-captain of
the police in the forehead with a ham,
mer. Both men worked for the meat
company.
Spillner testified that on the day of
the alleged assault he had been sum-
moned in hurry by the foreman who
told him that something was the mat
ter with the boiler and to go in and see
If he could fix it. Spillner went into the
engine room where be discovered the
defendant Jack. The Chinese was en-
ployed as the engineer. The Chinese
had allowed all the water to get out OF
the boiler and pressue of eighty
pounds of steam was registered. The
pumps which forced the water into the
boiler could not be gotten by the Chi
nese to work. Spillner saw the danger
and was able to get the steam righted
Jack became angry over the interfer-
ence. Spillner told him that If he
didn't know enough about running a
boiler and engine to keep water in the
boiler he had better quit. This en-
ragged the Chinese who seized the ham,
mer and struck Spillner over the left
eye cutting long CASH
In his defense the Chinese admitted
that he did not know much about run
ming an engine and added that he was
learning. He denied having struck
Spillner with hammer but said Spill
ner grabbed a monkey wrench and tried
to strike him with 1t. They struggled
and the foreman came in and put the
Chinese out of the place. Jack did not
know the big cash had been received by
Spillner. 1t could not have been in their
struggle. Ah Hung another Chinese
corroborated, the statement of the de-
fendant.
In passing sentence upon the defen-
dant Judge Wilcox said: IT think that
you did strike this plaintiff but there
We're some extenuating circumstances
for 1t, you testified that Spillner was
cursing and abusing you. If the Mono
lulu Market Company keeps on hiring
Chinese for engineers their whole build.

.IAEOF HANANANGAVERY
NEGRO YOUTH CLAIMS HE WAS
KIDNAPPED.
Says Stranger Enticed Him on Train
At Montgomery, and Forced Him to
Come to Hawaii.

According to a story published in the
San Francisco Examiner the early part
of this month"; and which was corrobo-
rated this morning by Martin Mead a
water tender and machinist on the
steamship Centennial, Charlie Lewis a
colored youth aged 13 years was kid
mapped from Montgomery, Ala, and
brought to Kahului to a plantation and
put to work. The boy tells quite a
narrowing and exciting story.
He says that Joe Manuel and George
Brooks two other colored boys were
with himself enticed aboard a train at
Montgomery, Alabama, and there lock-
ed up and taken to New Orleans and
then to San Francisco from where they
were shipped to this place along with
a party of negro laborers who came
here on the China recently. Young Lee
wis claims that neither he nor the other
boys wanted to come nor knew why
they were brought here. In any event,
they were sent to work on the Hawai-
ian Commercial and Sugar Company's
plantation at Kahului, while they were
not paid any money, being given only
clothes and board in exchange for their
work. To make matters worse when
they refused to work Lewis says they
were put into a sort of stockade.
Lewis got away from the prison pen
which he describes as a small yard
surrounded by a fence ten feet in
height and studded with nails. They
were fed three times a day in prison.
The boy was released from this alleged
prison and slowed away on a sailing
vessel in Kahului. The sailors on that
boat took him out to the Centennial
where he slowed away again. After
leaving port he met Martin Mead who
took an interest in the boy and sent
him to the Examiner after they reached
san Francisco, where the details of the
story were secured.
Mead came back here on the Centen-
nial and he says that what was publish
ed in the Examiner was a correct trans
cript of the boys statements. Mead
says that the Examiner wired back to
Montgomery, Ala. and ascertained that
the claims of the boy having left there
mysteriously were correct.
Lewis said that Manuel and Brooks
We're still kept in the prison pen when
he left Kahului. Mead intends investi-
eating their cases and learning if they
are still kept there.
The story of Lewis bears the ear
marks of romance, one of the most
glaring being where he claims he was
In jail for refusing to work. He claims
that the negroes are not permitted to
send away any letters without the
plantation people first reading them.

COUNTY Bill IS PASSED
RAILRoADED THROUGH SENATE
THIS MORNING.
Most Exciting Session of the Term.
Lahaina and Waimea Sustained as
County Seats.

The County bill of the Home Rule
party passed its final reading in the
Senate this morning with out amend
ment and now goes to the Governor for
his signature.
Among the important features left in
are those making Waimea the county
seat of Kauai and Lahaina the county
seat of Maui. Lihue and Wailuku were
the competitors on the respective ISL
ands for the court centers.
The session in the early morning was
exceedingly stormy. 1t was all over the
county bill For the first time in the
session some of the senators became
really excited. Mr. Carter and Mr..
Achi had one of the tits. Cecil Brown
intimated that White was a liar and at
another time demanded that DIR. Rus
sci keep his seat.
The proceedings were in no sense in
English from the time the county bill
first came up from one to half dozen
Senators were on the floor at once, jab-
bering away at the height of their
voices in musical Hawaiian. Nobody
adressed the President. That dignitary
might have been in the seventh heaven
for any attention he received Motion
upon motion was made in native. The
interpreter was simply crushed out of
service by the excited house.
The principal fight (though there were
number of hot ones) was over whe-
ther the county bill should be read
through or merely by title. 1t was
finally votel to read it through. When
the first section was read Cecil Brown
moved that Lihue be inserted in place
of Waimea as the county seat of Kauai.
DR.. Russell made the point that the mo-
tion was to read the bill through, and
that under that motion it could not be
considered by sections. This was the
signal for another trough house" In
the confusion Mr.. Carter moved that
the bill pass. Whether by accident or
what-not the motion carried.
The Organic Act precribes that the
ayes and noes be called on final reading
{ A motion to call the roll passed, with
the result that the bill received nine
votes. There were five against and one
did not vote. Crabbe made the state
ment that he was in favor of some form
of municipal government and therefore
cast his vote with the eight solid In
dependents. Achi declined to vote.
The session was decidedly the storm
lest of the many in the sixty days.

THAT PROHIBITION CLAUSE
REV. A. e. CORY SAYS 1T IS
EFFECTIVE.
Courts Can Enforce it by Fine-Lot-
teries Prohibited in the Same Section
With no Penalty Attached.

Rev. A. e. Cory does not agree with
the expressed opinion that If the legIs-
lature fails to pass any liquor law the
prohibition clause of the Territorial Act
will be a failure for want of penalties.
He says that excellent legal opinion
holds that the courts, the United States
Courts, have the inherent power to i'm
pose the penalty OF fines for a violation
of this clause. This is an act of Con-
gress and it could be enforced in the
United States courts by fine.
He points out that the whole sec
tion in which this prohibition clause
appears is made up of prohibited things
and that there is no penalty mentioned
as to any of them. This section. CON
tains the prohibition against lotteries
and the sale of lottery tickets, but
there is no penalty provided. Yet, MIR.
Cory says nobody supposes that this
and other prohibitary clauses cannot be
enforced.
Mr.. Cory's position is that If the le-
gislature makes no provision for the
sale of liquor, congress has prohibited
its sale, and that this prohibition of
Congress can and will be enforced as
other acts of congress are.
