TIDAL WAVE MMAMN OFFICERS lED lN AEMN NOT Be A@UDGGN LABOR MM
CAME ON THE GAELIC THIS
MORNING.
Eighty Eight are in the Crowd-All Ap-
pear to Be Well Supplied With
Money.

Plantation labor ranks gained quite
number of recruits this morning on
the Gaelic. All that depends upon the
newcomers rejoining the other Japan
ese on the various plantations is to be
passed into the country by the emigra-
tion agent. This detachment of Japa-
nese laborers on the Gaelic was not un-
expected. 1t was announced some time
ago that a large number would arrive
here by that vessel. There present de-
tachment numbers 70 men, IL women
and children. They are said to be tine
first detachment of several thousand
whom the Japanese government win
permit to come to this country to work
The crowd all got aboard the vessel at
Yokohama. Each had his own ticket
and, so far as the steamship people
were able to see, they appeared to be
acting independently and not to be in
charge of any agent or manager which
would most likely have been the case
had there been any attempt on the
part of some emigration agency to have
shipped them here. The men are a
good strong looking lot and appear to
be as hardy and healthy a crowd as has
visited these islands in a long time.
UP to noon today Inspector Brown
had examined about twenty five percent
of the crowd. He found that they are
all practically laborers. All had money
Some of them possessed several hun
dred dollars while others had as low
as $45. This seemed to be the lowest
amount possessed. Mr.. Brown was un-
able to say how many were likely to be
allowed to enter the country Every
effort will be made to see that the Con-
tract Labor Law is not violated. There
were no cases examined however which
seemed to be violations of any particu-
lar law so none of the candidates were
positively rejected. The first examna-
tions will be finished this afternoon. The
crowd will be sent to the quarantine
station and during their residence on
the island, will be further questioned
and examined by the emigration Off
GERS.
The event of these laborers is re-
garded as very gratifying. The need
for laborers is felt on every plantation
in the island and every recruit is hailed
with delight. If the present crowd are
treated well and like the place they
will, in no small degree, influence Others
of their countrymen to join them. 1t is
said however that more laborers from
Japan are expected on the Hong Kone
Maru which will reach here on August
10. Only one Korean came on the Gae-
lie. For the last three steamers there
I have been no Chinese bound for this
port

NOTHING KNOWN ON GAELIC OF
THE GLORY.
None of Officers of Passenger Vessel
Had Heard of the Reported Loss of
British Flagship.

Under date of July 81, the Coast pa
pers published a dispatch from Hong
Kong to the effect that the new Brit
ish battleship Glory, the flagship of the
new China squadron, was aground some
Where between Hong Kong and Shang-
hal The warships Eclipse, Daphne and
Rigrny were reported to have suddenly
tsft Hong Kong and the impression was
tnat they had gone to the aid of the
Glory.
Captain Finch of the Gaelic, which
arrived this morning from the Orient,
gays that he had heard nothing of the
reported grounding of the Glory up to
the time of the departure of the Gaelic
from Yokohama. From this news
there is very strong probability that
the report of the Glory going aground
may prove incorrect. The Gaelic was at
Kobe July 81 and she did not leave Yo-
kohama until August 8. This would
have been ample time in which to have
learned whether the report of the
grounding of the Glory was correct. In
asmuch as Captain Finch says he heard
of no such mishap to the big battleship,
there is excellent reason for believing
that the alleged affair did not occur at
all.
None of the japanese Newspapers
mention anything of the reported
grounding of the Glory and as they
have dispatches, later than July 81,
the date when the dispatch was sent
from Hong Kong to the San Francisco
paperes it does not seem likely that
such an important occurrence as the
grounding of a new British battleship
would have been overlooked.

TOM CHAN AND HIS WIVES
OF A CHINESE
DIVORCE SUIT.
Defendant Married Two Women I'm
China and Lived With Both Here
One Wants Divorce

Tom Chan, defendant in divorce suit
that came up before Gear at noon hour
today, has quite a family, If the r,ain-
tiff is to be believed. He has tN o wives
one of them being the mother OF six
children and the other the mother of
three. The six were in court with the
plaintiff, All Sam. who alles IS that her
husband has failed to provide for her.
Tom Chan's Mormon abii5hlneDt Is
in Honolulu and both wives haze lived
together with him in happiness until
recently, when All Sam lew tfo coop
and began suit for divorce. IT is claim
ed that Tom Chan had one wife when
he first came to Honolulu. !je went
back to China, and in August, 1889. in
Canton, China, he married the woman
who asked Judge Gear to give her a
divorce. F. M. Brooks represented the
plaintiff.
Before the case was called Tom Chan,
by his attorney Judge Davidson filed
an answer, in which he brings a coun-
ter claim for divorce. He alleges adul-
terry and desertion, and asks that the
separation be granted to him instead
of to Mrs. Tom Chan number two.
There was another case ahead of the
Tom Chan case today, and the matter
went over until noon tomorrow. While
the matter was being discussed, Mrs
Tom Chan, or Ah Sam. as she appears
in the legal documents, sat surrounded
by children in brilliant clothes. and
looked daggers at the alleged poly
ganist whom she is suing.
The complaint says that ther are five
children and it was correct when the
suit was brought, but there are six
now, another having arrived since the
suit was begun. The youngest was in
court. The infant began to make it
self heard at one stage of the proceed
ings, whereupon one of the well trained
youngsters seized a bottle of milk and
ran across the court room with 1t. The
bottle was duly applied to the aperture
from which the disturbing sounds were
coming and quiet was restored so that
| Judge Gear could continue business.
The case may present some legal In
tricacies. owing to the alleged double
marriages of the defendant. Both of
| his weddings took place in China, and
| are declared to be valid Chinese mar
riages. But the woman who is suing
| for divorce was made one with Tom
by the second ceremony, it is claimed.
| The suit is therefore an action to di-
Vorce a man from what is supposed to
! be bigamous marriage and nc mar
riage at all, under American law.

The c. D. BRYANT SAILORS
THEIR CASES UP BEFORE JUDGE
ESTEE.
Four Seamen Who Left the Vessel
When She Was Afire, Refusing to
Help to Save Her.

The cases of the four sailors of the
bark c. ID. Bryant, charged with re-
fusing to obey the captains orders
when the vessel was burning, were call
ed in United States Judge Estees court
this morning. The trial jury was pres
ent, and large number of witnesses,
including Captain Colley of the c. ID
Bryant.
Attorney Frank Thompson entered a
demurrer on the ground that the in
formation was faulty i'm that it charged
two separate and distinct offenses. 1t
was claimed that the presentment
charged desertion as well as wilfull dis
obedience of orders, accusing the sail
ors of offenses under sections 46O2 and
4596.
The Jurors we're excused until 2
o'clock, while the point was argued.
United States District Attorney Bard
claimed that the alleged second accusa-
ton was not enough to constitute an
accusation, and Assistant District At
torney Dunno, who drew the indictment
explained the clauses that were object
ed to. He declared that section 1902
was so indefinite in it's statements that
further history of the alleged crime
was necessary under rules of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court to make the
indictment state definitely what the
crime chcarged was.
Judge Estee decided to adjourn court
and take the matter under advisement
for a few hours. He announced that
he would tive a decision at o'clock
this afternoon.
This afternoon Judge Estee overruled
the demurrer and the selection of jur-
ors began at o'clock.

CHINESE PLAGUE DECREASING
Marked Falling Off on Record at
Annoy.

According to reports by the Gaelic
there has been a marked decrease in the
plague at Hongkong and Annoy At the
latter place the decrease has been the
most marked. For the two weeks end
ing July 23 the date that the Gaelic
left Hong Kong, there had been 80
cases and 81 deaths at that port. This
is a very decided decrease.
At Annoy, which is several hundred
miles from Hong Kong, the decrease Is
reported to be still more marked. Up
to short time ago there We're fully 100
cases and nearly as many deaths every
day at Annoy. The reports by the Gae-
lie are to the effect that this average
has fallen and while there are still nu-
merous cases about Annoy the death
rate it not nearly so great as formerly.

Yes, 1t was SAD blunuer.
He thought the children were in the

was occupied by his wife and lachry-
NOSE neighbor. We all know these SEN
sltive women who weep on the slight
est provocatlOn, who begin to snittie
when they talk of their woes, this be-
ing really little more than bid for
words of comfort, and this woman was
one of them. What had happened Is
quite immatcrial. Something had been
said or done that had completely upset
her, and in her appeal for solace she
snittied.
AS before remarked, he thought the
children were in the other room. and
one of the children had been suffering
from cold IN the head. OF course ev-
cry one knows how annoying a young
ster with a cold in the head can be,
and he was not In the best Of humor
anyway. .,
