THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

The afternoon session began with Cap tain Rodgers still on the stand He | stated, in reply to questions. that he was the senior member of the Naval Board of Survey. appointed by Admiral Sampson to examine the wrecked Spanish vessels The purpose of this line of examination was to bring out the witness's knowledge concerning the effect of the BrookIyn's gunnery In the battle of Santiago, July 8. Captain Rodgers stated that the Brook lyn was the only vessel that fired i've inch shells, and MT. Raynor said that careful computation based upon the re- port of the Board of Survey showed that twelve 5-inch shells had been found on the Spanish vessels.
 Mir. Raynor presented statement show ing the number of shells found on the vessels of the Spanish fleet and the wit ness was asked to state the percentage of 5-inch shells assuming, the statement to be correct
 Captain Rodgers replied that the total number of hits was thirty-five and that. therefore, the 5-inch shell hits constituted 34 per cent of all the hits. Mir. Raynor said that the statement had been prepared by Admiral Schley.
 The witness also said he knew that the Brooklyn had S-inch guns, but Mir Ray nor said the AdmiraPs computation was not intended to cover that feature. His only purpose was to make the showing for 5-inch guns.
 Cross-examined about the dispatch he carried. Captain Rodgers was asked If the Dear Schley'' letter, dated at Key West, May 20, 1898. written by Admiral Sampson, in which the statement was made that "I am of the opinion that our best chance of success in capturing the enemy's ships will be to hold Cienfuegos and Havana" was included In these dis patches.
 The witness replied that he had no knowledge what the envelope contained. While the examination was in progress, MT. Raynor read the letter. including the following extract:
 If later 1t should develop that the ves- sels are at Santiago. we could then as- semble off that port the ships best suit ed for the purpose and completely block ade 1t. Until we receive more positive information. We shall continue to hold Havana and Santiago"
 Tilt Between the Lawyers.
 MT. Raynor remarked that he supposed it would be conceded that the word San tiago) as given above was a mistake, and that 1t should be "Cienfuegos. Captain Lernley replied that he would make no such concession and a tilt followed be- tween counsel concerning the accuracy

PAUL NEuMANN.

The most RENAL and kind hearted Of
men. one of the most brilliant of talk
ers and raconteurs, one OF the ablest
and best read OF jurists passed away
this morning, leaving a blank in many
lives outside of those of the Utmost
family circle.
Paul Neumann, had become identi-
fed with Hawaii. Though with strong
ties IN San Francisco, and a long and
successful career in that whirling and
cosmopolitan town it was Hawaii that
became the land of his adoption from
1892. and from his arrival in that year
he has ever been one of the prominent
figures IN the social, political and legal
life of Honolulu.
A firmer or more kindly friend than
the late Paul Neumann there could not
be. The young men at the bar always
had a helping hand and kindly word
from the veteran lawyer. The broken
in purse and in spirit found in him a
generous giver and wise adviser, He
had a wealth of experience and an in
exhaustible fund of true humanity
which endeared him to ALL
Determined, but not needlessly ag
gressive, Paul Neumann was among
the best of Kalakaua's and Liliuoka
lani's advisers, and many things which
were reme 7ied, and many mistakes
which were avoided were due to Paul
Neumann's influence. He had no enc
mics, though of course he had those
who disagreed from him. But his
urbanity and his SAVIOR faire enabled
him to smooth both parties in the most
heated of politics and he brought about
peace in many trying situations.
AS a jurist as a politician he has
his place in our history. But it is as
the genial friend, the charming COM
panion, the brilliant wit, the man of
well stored intellect that many of us
will remember him, embalming his
memory as the pressed blossoms of
some brilliant flower between the
leaves of book. A remembrance to
turn to, and ever the fragrance of the
past lowering near. Honolulu has lost
a dear friend, his family has lost a
loving husband and father.

The Home Rule party has tried and

cy two years from now.
AS to those who think because there
is a stringency in the Territorial
finances, that the Territory is on the
verge of financial panic, they are ut
teFly and completely in the wrong. The
cause of the stringency lies in the fail
ure of the Legislature to meet the stu
alton. By annexation the Territory lost
its customs duties and its postoffice re-
turns. This took something like one
million annually out of the treasury
The majority ignored the situation. 1t
decided it would rather snap at the
heels of the executive than provide
revenue for the advantage of ALL 1t

needs, even though at the present mo-
ment there is a pinch. III that is
needed is sensible legislation, and

con star.

Fujihara, the Japanese who was con-
victed of murder, had his sentence re-
viewed by the Supreme Court and has
been resentenced by the Judge of the
Second Circuit Court. Fujihara's case
is a somewhat hard one. Whatever
the crime, Fujihara has had to under
go an amount of mental agony which
would break down the nerve and
whiten the hair of many an Anglo
Saxon.
When first condemned to death Full
hara had to nerve himself to meet
death, and he lay in his cell cou1 ting
the hours as they slipped by while
the fatal moment ever crept nearer and
nearer. Then came the reaction when
there was period of uncertainty while
the case was argued before the Sup
RENE Court, and finally, that goinP
against him, he again has had to face
death. This time no date has been set
for his execution, that being something
that the Governor must settle. He is
sentenced and knows not when he will
die. What an awful uncertainty.
There are opposing views upon capt.
tai punishment, but into that one need
not go in Fujihara's case. The law is
that if man is proved guilty of MUIR
der, the law hangs him. But the law
in Fujihara's case has treated him very
much as cat does a mouse. It has
had him in it's claws, and then has let
him hobble into sight of liberty, and
then has bounced upon him once more
If one is to be hanged, why it is much
better to- be hanged at once than to
wait for months sometimes hoping
against hope, and sometimes plunged
in the blacklist despair. The mental
condition caused by circumstances like
these must be agonizing in the ex-
IRENE. Law contemplates DEATH it
does not contemplate torture.
The Fujihara case is certainly one
where executive clemency might be
used with advantage. 1t may fairly be
conceded that Fujihara has been pun
is'Ad enough, and the executive might
show that quality of mercy which is
twice blest."

THE END IN SIGHT.

Those who think they know say that
the Legislature wifi get through with
its work in ten days from now. But
those who think they know have been
so often deceived and proved false
prophets that the. statement must be
taken with a orain of salt. However
as the calculation comes from leading
men in both houses, there may be
likelihood of it's substantiating.
The Houses are in a somewhat dis
organized state. Several members have
gone home, and others have completely
lost interest in the Legislative pro-
ceedings, lounge in late and leave
early. There is a sort of happy go
lucky feeling among the opposition and
even among the majority there is no
longer the determined force that there
was, The Home Rule party is hope
lessly split The irreconcilibles of the
House have been wrecked on the rocks
of conservative majority in the Sen
ate. 1t is an unhappy condition of af-
fairs for many of the Home Rulers. The
mountain has labored and has brought
forth very small mouse indeed.
DR.. Russell is among the Senators
who have absented themselves. H. P
Baldwin is another. DR.. Russell has
practically retired, like Achilles, to
sulk in his tent His Briseis of ideal
government, has been rent from him
not by his enemies, or rather his oppo-
nents for an opponent is not neces-
sarily an enemy, but by the men with
whom he elected TO make his politi-
cal fight. The worthy doctor said be-
fore leaving for Hawaii that he never
aspired to the leadership of the Home
Rule party, but he did think that the
leaders would listen to advice. But,
my dear friend" said he, they would
not listen, They wanted no advice,
they knew it ian!S, q
There are members of the Home |

and that is that there is
yet the opportunity of being relieved
from hard manual labor. The Home
Rule party can move from the Capitol
and oscillate between the Judio larry
building and the. police station. It's
can go up in every district on
the Islands, and there will be a boom

The racing scandal case resulted in
a failure to get conviction. There is
a talk Of an action for damages. What
ever the future developments may be
enough has been shown to make the
general public very doubtful about the
manner in which races are run. In
point of fact the, races are a
money making concern to certain
clique. The true object of horse racing
is to encourage breeders to keep up a
good stock and to improve the breed
of animals, but the true object is lost
sight of and the element of gambling
comes woefully in. Gambling is the
ruin of all true sport.

PERPLEXITY IN PERSIA

Through the Columns of

London, Aug. 31.-Russian agents in
Persia are interfering with the Ghetta-
Nushki trade route between Asia and

from Simla, Russia, by virtue Of a loan
contracted in 1900, has effective control
OF the customs and is giving endless worry
and trouble to traders by means of Gus

restrictions. 1t is possible for Russia to
paralyze British trade by long detentions
of caravans and travellers. The native be-
