Judge Estee's court rooms and the

is particularly firm on the point

partment, stating its ruling to be that

that the central government would like
the court to occupy the offices in the
judiciary building until a Federal

The government asked for further in
formation in regard to. the application
of japanese to lease certain loose guano
islands and shoals to the northwest

In Victor Hugos Les Miserables"
there is an account of an escape from
officers by the hero Jean Vatican by
scaling stone wall at a corner, with
nothing to help him but his arms and
legs, which account has been criticised
as improbable. The negro Fred Wood,
who escaped yesterday from oahu prt-
son, demonstrated the possibility OF
making the climb in quick time. He
scaled a stone wall % feet in height
very rapidly. On the other side he
took a jump of % feet on to hard
Wood was seen making his wonderful
climb by one of the guards on duty in
the Jail yard, where the officers are un-
armed. The negro prisoner went up as

an easy ladder. He braced arms and
legs against the angles of the corner
and fairly ran up like monkey. Be
fore the guard had time to run and give
the alarm Wood was on top of the wall
preparing to take his terrible jump on
the other side. The ground 25 feet be-
low is hard but Wood hestated not a

soon back in Jail "sassing" Captain
Henry and cheerfully admitted that he
had earned a term in a cage.
Wood is spoken of as a very bad
niger" He is said by a companion
who came here with him to be an es-
cape from an Alabama penitentiary
and his wonderful skill in scaling a wall
! indicates that he has had practice. He
is awaiting trial for burglarizing a safe

ahead of him.

that a man has escaped from oahu

a man like Wood to have a wall of 25

we con confine such prisoner in our

DEPARTURE OF vEss--s.
The China and Peking to Sail This
Afternoon.

The China will sail this afternoon at
4 o'clock for San Francisco. She will
take a large passenger list as scores of
people are anxious to get away to the
coast. She brought 500 tons of Oriental
freight for this port.
The Ventura was expected to reach
here this morning but she had not been
sighted up to noon. She will probably
reach here in the afternoon and get
away after midnight for the Coast. She
is from the Colonies.
The Cit of Peking is to leave for the
Orient at p. m. today.
Advices from the Coast state that the
Sonoma due from San Francisco today
would be two days late in leaving
there on account of the delay in the
arrival of the English mails. She ought
to reach here Thursday.
The transport Hancock will leave this
afternoon at o'clock for Manila and
the horse transport Kintuck will get
away tomorrow afternoon about 8
o'clock
Flags on some of the vessels and at
the naval station were at half mast to-
day out of respect to the memory of
ex-President Benjamin Harrison. Salu-
tes at intervals of half an hour were
fired at the naval station throughout
the day.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT FOOD.
How Can the Danger From Alum Bak
ing Powders be Avoided.

Among leading physicians and scien-
lists there is no question as to the
detrimental effects which alum baking
powders produce upon the system. In
many foreign countries and in many
cities of this country, the authorities
have absolutely prohibited their sale or
the sale of bread containing alum.
Even small doses of alum, given to
children, have produced fatal results,
while cases of burn Indigestion,
gripping constipation, dyspepsia and
various kindred gastric troubles from
irritation of the mucous membrane,
attributed to the continuous use of
food prepared with the alum or alum
phosphate powders, are familiar in the
practice of physicians generally.
The United States Congress has re-
Gently been investigating the subject
of food, and in it's official report to the
Senate the Committee says: 80 far
as the use. of alum in the manufac-
ture of a food product, such as bak-
ing powder, is concerned, the commit
tee, in view of the Overwhelming mass
of evidence antagonistic to its use
recommends that it's use in food pro-
ducts and baking powders be prohibit
ed by law"
1t is not possible that any prudent
housewife, any loving mother, will
knowingly use an article of food that
will injure the health of her household
or perhaps cause the death of her chill
dren.
How shall the dangerous alum pow
ders be distinguished? And how shall
the danger of health from their use be
avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the price at which they
are sold, or from the fact that they
are accompanied by a gift, or are dis
posed of under some scheme. The
alum powder costs but a few cents &
pound to make, and is often sold a
| twenty or twenty-five cents pound
| sometimes as low as ten cents.
| 1t is impossible to name all the alum
powders in the market, but any bak
| ing powder sold at low price, or ad
vertised as costing much less than th'
welI-known, high-class powders, or ac
companied by a present or disposed o
under any scheme. is of this class, de
trimental to health and to be avoided
These facts should incline consumer
| to turn a deaf ear to all importunitie
| to buy the inferior powders. The wis
| housekeeper will decline in all cases t.
| take them.

LONDON, March 25.-The War Office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener:
PRETORIA, March 25.-Babing-
tons force including Shekleton's col
umn, attacked Delarey, 1900 strong,
southwest of Ventersdorp, and, having
defeated him followed him up rapidly
with the result that the Beers rear
guard was driven in and their convoy
captured at Vallsbank Our troops dis
played great gallantry and DASH They
captured two 15-pounder guns and one
pompon, six MaXims, 800 rounds of. big
ammunition, $4,000 rounds of small am
munition, 160 rifles, 53 wagons and "a
carts, besides taking 140 prisoners. Our
loss was slight. Many Beers were kill
ed or wounded"
CAPE TOWN, March 25.-It is said
the Beers lost heavily in attacking the
/ garrison at Lichtenburg last week.
More than seventy burghers are re-
ported to have been shot at one spot
among the wire entanglements.
LONDON, Marchc 26.-The official
casualty list issued last evening in
| dicates a renewal of active operations
since the failure of the negotiations
between Lord Kitchener and General
Botha. At Hartebeetefontein. March
22nd and 23d, two officers were killed
and three wounded and four men
killed and twenty wounded. There
also seems to have been heavy fighting
at a place near Greddedacht March
18th, and near Centersburg March 18th.
Ventersdorp, the scene of the defeat
of Delarey, is about twenty miles
northeast from Hartebeetefontein. 1t
is possible. therefore, that the advices
as to fighting at these points really
| refer to the same engagement.
/ The Pretoria correspondent of the
Standard says that it is obvious some
months must PASS before Boer resist
ance can be crushed.

mons yesterday if it was possible to
change the offer of peace terms to the

REouIsITIoN FOR A DOG.

James Lloyd the Healani oarsman
and high jumper is minus a pet dog and
he has set the machinery of the United
States quartermaster's department in
motion to recover the animal. The dog
was valuable simply as a curiosity. He
was a cross between an esquimau, coy
otte, spitz and a Harlem goat Lloyd
used to take the dog down to the boat
club and have him swim races with
Ben Bruins Dude. Last week Lloyd
missed the dog He had arranged a
special match race with the Bruins
canine but owing to the disappearance
of the criss cross animal Lloyd had to
default and loose his forfeit money, as
Bruins as all who know him will be-
lieve, claimed his pound of flesh. Lloyd
searched eagerly for the lost dog and
finally when the transport Meade was
going out for Manila last week he saw
the animal tied on the deck of the ves-
sell Lloyd was alongside in bot and
he called to the animal. The pet re-
cognized Lloyd and trie7 unsuccessful

THE HOUSE DOWNS 1T AGAIN
TODAY.
1t Costs a Whole Days Session to Do
1t, But The Bill is Buried Deep
Now.

The ghost of the franchise bill walked
in the house this morning and put an
end to the days session ten minutes af-
ter ii began. The ghost as finally laid
however, and this time it is believed to
be dead one for the rest of the ses-
sion. Kauimakaole, Mahoe and other
friends of the Pain cinch made hard
fight for it, but they lost.
AS soon as the minutes of yesterday s
session had been read Kauimakeole
moved a reconsideration of yesterday $
vote indefinitely posJponing the bill
Mahoe seconded the motion and the
House seemed to be settling down to
another discussion of Mahoe's plan TO
foster competition in street railroads
by giving the mule-car concern all the
streets it wants.
Emmeluth moved an adjournment 1t
was evident that the Pain bill needed
another knock and 1t appeared that an
adjournment was the quickest way to
down it once for all. A reconsideration
of vote cannot be moved except on
the day after the vote is taken, so that
the last golden opportunity to raise
the franchise bill from the table was
| today's session. The motion to adjourn
resulted in a close vote, but speaker
| Akina declared the Alternatives had it.
Then there was a howl, for Mahoe
thought adjournment had been voted
down. Others said so too, though the
speaker counted the vote as IA to IL.
Akina started to give them the satis-
| faction of seeing the vote over again
and called upon members to resume
! their seats, but many had started to
| leave and they did not want to come
back to hear any more about the Pain
| franchise bill
| There's a lot of committee work to
| be done anyhow" said Emmeluth as he
I left the hall, happy in the knowledge
| that he had put the Pain bill in its
| grave again and closed the grave.
