The polo game was unique in many ways last night. says the Courier and Journal. The rink was crowded to it's utmost seating capacity. Several hun dred newsboys. through the courtesy of the Register. were present. They were marshaled in Grown street and headed by fife and drum corps marched to the rink. where they were seated; and how they did enjoy them selves Armed with whistles. cow bells. horns and other instruments to make noise, they kept things lively during the whole game. The game was a bang up exhibition of good polo and the fine passing of both teams elicited much applause from the big house. Bone was the star of the even ing. and his clever plays were cheered and recheered by. the crowd. The Cll1il

WEST AFTER THE FAKIRS.

San Francisco, Jan 19.-It is evident from the attitude of the board of su- pervisiors that they do not look kind ly on the plans of Matchmaker Ken nedy and others of the Twentieth Gen. tury club to pull off fights in this city. From the present outlook Kennedy need not send out Mccoy and Sharkey, for no fight will be allowed between these ''pugs,'' for the reason that they are so badly tainted with fraud that no square fight can be expected when they meet. The police committee of the board of supervisors had called before it Jack Gleason. who is the local manager of the Twentieth Gen. tury club. If he can give no assur- ances of a square fight or of a genu- inc purse then the supervisors will re- fuse a license for the contest: Local feeling here is very strong against Me Coy and 1t has been intensified by his latest fake. Sporting men also are against importing eastern fighters who have been mixed up i'll rank fakes. Gleason has no money and 1t will be difficult to show that Kennedy has enough to assure a big purse. If Sharkey and Mccoy come out merely to fight for gate receipts then fake is almost certain.

REWARD FOR LOST STOCK.

The Transport Kintuck will sail this
afternoon about O'clock 1t is prob
able that when her blue Peter" is
hauled down and she swings out into
the stream there will be several vacant
stalls aboard her. An advertisement
which appeared this morning would in
dicate that all of the stampeded horses
had not been recovered.
Yesterday about 60 of the government
horses stampeded The majority of
them were recovered by the heTders but
the corral manager thought il would be
wise to notify the public that in case
any stray stock branded u. s. on the
left shoulder was found it belonged to
Uncle Sam.
1t was said this morning that all of
the stock had been recovered but the
advertisement had been placed in the
paper merely as a precautionary mea-
sure. If the stock is not returned TO
the Kintuck at the Irmgard wharf be-
fore she sails the horses should be re.
turned to Major Robinson the quarter
master. A reward will be paid for the
horses.

VENTURA ONE DAY LATE
REPORTS COAL STRIKE ON AT
SYDNEY.
Auckland Quarantine Against Sydney.
Case of Plague From South Africa
Observation-Disclosures at Pago Pago.

The Oceanic Company's steamship
Ventura was sighted shortly after
O'Clock this morning from the Colonies
and docked three hours later. The
vessel was a day late in reaching this
port, owing to a strike at Sydney and
| being detained unnecessarily in Auck-
land. Her time from Sydney was Is
days. hours and As minutes, the
steaming time being IA days 1 hour and
IL minutes. The vessel left Sydney on
March 18th, Auckland, March 24th,
and Pago Pago, March 9th. The trip
was uneventful, good weather being ex-
perienced throughout. No records were
smashed by the Ventura. Her best re-
cord was 403 miles one day.
At Sydney there was a strike of the
coal workers and the vessel was not
able to take on enough coal to last the
| trip to San Francisco. This accounts
for the small amount of water which
she was drawing as she came into port
only IL 1-2 feet deep forward. Tbs ia
about the lightest draught of an OF
the big vessels which have ever en- cred
Honolulu harbor. The big steam hin
lowered out of the water and many
people expressed the opinion that .ne
must be top heavy.

mained a full day instead of abouI D.
hours. Considerable cargo had e. l.
taken aboard and the quarantine OFF,.
GERS also caused unnecessary delay
The Auckland officials are still qua
timing against Sydney.
Last month a case of plague was dis
covered on one of the British trans.
ports which reached Sydney from
| South Africa. Evidently this piu ugur
case was taken on at Cape Town wheTa
the plague has been prevailing for some
time past. The Sydney officers did not
( allow the vessel to enter port but sent
her into quarantine a once.
Affairs were quiet at Pago Pago. TT

MANY COMPLAINTS MADE TO THE
POLICE.
Authorities Have Not Made Any Ar
rests-Pet CANNES Should Be Guarded
When Transports are Here.

Many complaints are being made to
the police about the theft of dog col
lars and tags. In the majority of in
stances the thieves have contented
themselves with merely stealing the
tags in other cases the miscreants
have been more avaricious and annexed
every thing except the dog.
The cause for this robbery of dogs is
found in the presence of the dog
catchers. People who are too mean or
too poor to purchase dog licenses think
they see an easy means of insuring
( their pets from capture by taking the
tags of other CANNES. The result is
that dozen or more dogs have lately
gone home minus their tags. Some
have shown up without their collars.
The thefts have been reported to the
police and Captain Parker has them in
hand. He says that ii is very difficult
to apprehend this character of thieves
as the policemen can hardly be expect
ed TO examine the collar and tag of
every dog that runs the streets. Thus
far no arrests have been made but as
the owners are trying to apprenend the
thieves it is thought some of the Of
/ tenders may be brought to justice.
The theft of dogs is said to be quite
extensive whenever the transports are
in port. James Lloyd lost a dog last
week. 1t appears that the animal was
stolen with malice aforethought for
when the Meade was stuck in the mud
Lloyd went alongside and saw his dog
! in the bow of the boat. He whistled to
the dog and the animal Immediately re-
cognized him and tri~u Intellectually to
get away Lloyd called to the soldiers
aboard the transport that the animal
belonged to him and to throw it over
board so that he could get it. His re-
quest was greeted with jeers and treat
ed with derision.
The action of the men on the Meade
shows the spirit with which many of
the soldiers passing through here re-
| gard the rights of private citizens. AL
though they were informed that the
animal belonged to Lloyd and there was
excellent reason for believing that it
was, they refused to surrender the
dog. The lesson which can be drawn is
that people would be wise to keep their
canine pets carefully guarded whenever
any of the transports are in town or
else the dogs may be stolen.

THE PLOT OF A VICIOUS JAZZ
LIFE -TERMER.
Months of Labor to File a Knife
Blade From Piece of Hoop
Iron.

There is a Japanese life termer in
Oahu Jail who mas just wasted four
or tive months of remarkable industry
and perseverance devoted to the amia-
bic purpose of carving a fellow prison.
er, mis- plans having been spoiled by
Jailor Henry, who, unknown was
quietly watching progress and waiting
his turn to move. Under the eyes of
the guards the Japanese, a murderer
named Imayo, filed away on piece of
hoop iron until he had made a fine
knife blade. lie has a grudge against
another Jap in the prison and intended
to kill him when the knife had been
finished.
The Jap's achievement is a remark
able illustration of the perseverance of
a prisoner who fastens his mind upon
the achievement of some one object,
says Captain Henry. In this case the
object was the commission of another
murder Imayo could only get a sec
ond or two now and then to work on
his knife blade. He must secrete it
on his person and now and then he
could get a chance when at work on the
road or in quarry, to give stroke
or two across a stone. By this slow
process he finally ground the hoop iron
down to the shape of a thin dagger. 1t
was pointed and sharp and all Imayo
| needed to enable him to use it on his
enemy was a handle. He waited for
a chance to get something that would
serve as a handle and his chance finally
came, for one day he returned from
quarry work with an old pocket knife,
which he had probably picked up on
the road and into the handle of which
] he proposed to fit his newly made blade
! At this stage of the game the jailor,
! Captain Henry took a hand in the
game and Imayo's laboriously made
/ blade was taken away from him. 1t is
| now in the possession of the jailor
Il was watching the Jap and knew
what he was about" said Henry, but
let him work a while to see what kind
of a weapon he would turn out. Wher
it began to get dangerous 1 took il
away" So it appears that while the
vindictive Jap toiled to carry out his
purpose of murder he was being quiet
! ly watched to be thwarted when the
time came.
Captain Henry warned Imayo's in
tended victim of what was brewing
and told him to be on the watch il
Imayo jumped for him. Imayo, after
months of brooding and longing for &
chance to kill his enemy, seemed tc
think of little else, and last Sunday
the expected break came. AS the two
men were near to one another ImayC
| leaped for his enemy's throat. The
other man, having been warned, was
on the watch and the vicious murderer
was met by a blow on the face. Guards
sprang for the two men and they were
dragged apart just as they were clinch'
ing.
/ Imayo has already served about
three years of a life term. He is one
of the men who needs constant watch

OCEANIC AGENCY CHANGED IN
SYDNEY.
President of the General Agency
Changes His Mind About Stopping
Over in Honolulu.

Joh-- D. Spreckels arrived in Honolulu
this morning on the steamship Ventura
on his way to San Francisco from me
Colonies. He accomplished the purpose
for which he went to Sydney, to make
necessary arrangements in connection
with the change of agency of the
Oceanic Steamship Company in the
Colonies The business was placed in
the hands of Burns. Phillips and Com
pany, large shipping firm OF Sydney.
The former agents, it is stated, arc
going to operate a Vancouver-S sydney
line of steamers with Honolulu and
Brisbane as ports of call.
The mail subsidy matter is still un-
settled and Mr.. Spreckels stated this
morning that there were no new de-
velopments in the matter. the award
will be made by Parliament either to
the Spreckels line or the Vancouver line
in the meantime the Spreckels con-
tract runs on.
At Pago Pago the president of the
Spreckels Company was The guest at a
reception and celebration arranged il
his honor by the citizens thara. Tie
steamer stayed in port for bout five
hours on the 9th of March and during
that time the celebration was held.
Among the features was a military
parade of the native troops. There was
what Hawaiians would call a "luau"
and the entire population of the city
turned out to honor the visitor. Pago
Pago owes it's recent growth to its hav-
ing been selected as a port of call for
the Oceanic steamers, when Apia be-
came a German port.
1.-THE natives made a fine looking lot
of soldiers" said Spreckls, "and their
military evolutions were very credit
able. They were under the American
flag and have had an American drill
master"
Mr.. Spreckels will continue his jour-
ney to San Francisco on the Ventura.
Since he left the coast, just after the
$40 assessment on Oceanic Company
shares there have been various move
ments reported which will interest him
when he gets back. When he passed
through here some weeks ago he de-
clared his intention to make a brief
stay in Honolulu on the way back, but
he has changed his programme and will
not stop over.
Oceanic shares have been making
some rapid movements in the San
Francisco market lately and one report
has 1t that there is a plan to get con-
troll in behalf of another company and
oust the ]. d. Spreckels and Bros. Co.,

Unusually Large Crowd at the Mail
