TWO OFFICERS UNHORSED
A STRANGE ACCIDENT IN THE
DARKNESS
Mounted Patrolmen Maitland and
Sherman Run Into Each Other-Both
Thrown from Their Horses.

A strange accident happened to two
members of the mounted patrol early
this morning and as a result officer L..
G. Maitland is laid up at the hospital.
Maitland and officer A. A. Sherman ran
into one another at the corner of Ala
kea and Merchant streets, both being
unhorsed by the shock and Maitland
struck the hard street on his head.
The accident happened shortly before
six o'clock. Daylight had not yet come
but the officers had been relieved after
their night watches. They were off
duty and were going home. In the
darkness they met at the corner with
much force, and both were tumbled. to
the ground.
The horses of both Maitland and
Sherman are very spirited animals and
hard to ride, but the men are good
riders and the animals were held after
the accident.
Maitland struck his head hard blow
and received a severe scalp wound
which may keep him in bed for some
days. Sherman was not injured be-
yond a heavy shock, and he will be
able to report for duty tomorroy.

SHOULD HAVE DEMANDED
EMPEROR'S RETURN.
Archdeacon Wolfe of Foo Chow Thinks
Conditions are Serious and Far From
Settled in China.

Archdeacon and Mrs. Wolfe of the
Episcopal Church are passengers on the
China for America. He was given a
vacation on account of i'll health, and
Will stop IN San Francisco. The Arch
deacon has been in China for the last
40 years. He was stationed at the town
of Foo Chow which is south of Peking.
Although within the Chinese empire
during the Boxer outbreak he was in
no danger, for the Mandarins of that
section stood steadfast for the foreign
ers and prevented any uprising. la
the opinion of the ArCnueaCun the white
people will have a difficult task in
solving the Chinese problem.
Il think that the civilized nations
| have a difficult task before them" he
said. 1T is one thing to get a Chinese
to promise and another for him to live
up to that pledge. A great mistake
has been made L believe in the recent
articles issued by the Powers. In them
no demand is made for the return of
the Emperor or the depOsing of the
Empress Dowager from power. The
Emperor should be placed in power
again and all danger of being dominat-
ed by the Empress removed. 1t was
first intended. | understand to have
such conditions but Russia is said to
be secretly leagued with the Empress
Dowager, and has promised to protect
her.
There are 4OO, 900, GOO people in China
and if they should start a movement
against the foreigners what nation is
there tina could hold them in check? L
believe that there will be more trouble
before the matter is settled. How it
VIII end | can not predict.
The reform party has started a re-
volution in the southern province in
the ncighborhood of Canton. They do
| not appear to be making much head
way and unless they can secure the
cooperation of the Emperor l question
if they will meet with success. If they
were able to get the Emperor with them
then they would be likely to prove an
element in the affairs Of China"

more NEGROES 70 COM. ALLIES MADE MISTAKE
COLONEL BEAN LEAVES ON THE
CHINA.
He VIII BE Back Here i'm Couple of
Months, With a Lot More of Negro
Laborers.

Colonel r. O. Bean, who brought the
negroes who are at Wailuku to this
country leaves this afternoon for home
on the steamship China, accompanied
by George Manson, his assistant They
Will both likely to be back here in a
couple of months, with a larger lot of
negroes from the Southern States
Colonel Bean stated this morning
that he eXpecter to be back in March
and that he would probably bring one
or two thousand negroes with him. The
result of the experiment at Wailuku
appears to have been satisfactory to all
parties concerned, for the planters have
signified their willingness to employ
several thousand more negroes.
Colonel Bean and Mr. Manson are
going to Tennessee, where they employ
ed the negroes already brought here.
In that state, ii is thought, there are
many negroes who would like to come to
Hawaii to work under the conditions
that exist here. They can make more
money here chiefly because the work
lasts all the year round and the living
expenses are less. They have rooms
free and fuel free, and when the cold
weather comes at home the fuel ques-
ton is no small one.
There are other agents at work
among the ngroes, and it is stated that
more will arrive here before Colonel
Bean brings his next lot.
Another and considerable number of
Porto Ricans are coming, but the
whole number to be brought will not be
as large as was at first intended. This
is said to be due to the fact that ii has
been found more expensive than was
expected to bring them here due in
part to the difficulties met with in con-
nection with the first lot. Half of these
never arrived, though the expense of
bringing them as far as San Francisco
was incurred.
The failure of the Examiner to inter
, fere with the second lot of Porto Ri
cans coming here has been commented
upon. 1t is supposed that the people of
California indicated their unwillingness
that men on their way to where work
was awaiting them should be stopped
and dumped on their hands to be taken
care of.

THE IRON WORKS AGAIN SALOON BUSINESS Dull
TEMPERANCE ORATOR MURPHY
THERE TODAY.
He Arouses Much Enthusiasm Among
the Workers and Will Go Once More
Tomorrow.

Francis Murphy visited the Honolulu
Iroa Works again at noon today, and
this time he captured the crowd of
toilers there, aroCsing enthusiasm
equal to what he has aroused in his
church meetings. There was a larger
crowd present to hear him than on his
previous visit, and the eloquent orator
succeeded in getting in touch with his
audience and interesting them in his
subject, so that they want him to go
visit the place again tomorrow
Mr.. Murphy gave an earnest temper
ance talk to the iron works men, who
heard him with close attention. After
wards he drifted into some general
homely advice, which his auditors evil
IDENTIFY appreciated, for three times he
was recalled by applause after he had
left the box on which he stood to make
lis remarks.
The audience at the iron works was
evidently much impressed with the
speakers sentiments, for when he ask
ed when they wanted to see him again,
those present shouted that they would
like to have him speak tomorrow, and
accordingly he will be there again to-
morrow at noon.
On Sunday afternoon Mr. Murphy
speaks to men only at the Y. NJ. c. A,
and in the evening he will be heard at
the Central Union church. On this oc-
casion a free offering for the visitor
will be taken,

RESEARCH CLUB.
1t will Discuss Readjustment of Tax
alton this Evening.

The January meeting of the Young
Mems Research club will be held this
evening at Pauahi Hall, Oahu College.
A cordial invitation is extended to the
public to attend.
The subject to be discussed at this
meeting is Reimbursement of Taxes"
The theme was suggested by the fact
that the coming Legislature will have to
consider the whole subject of taxation
and readjust the revenue laws and the
fiscal policy of the territory to the new
conditions brought about by annexa-
tion and the creation of the islands in
to a territory of the federal union. The
purpose is to present the views of those
who have given thought to the subject
to arouse an interest and public dis
cussion in the subject, so that the
members of the legislator when they
take up the subject will have the public
in touch with their work. 1t is for this
reason that the club holds it's meeting
in public hall, and issues it's invita-.
tion to the public.
The speakers this evening will be
Philip l.. Weaver, William r. Castle
w. o. Smith Royal d. Mead and
others.

STOCKHOLDERS PROXIES.

SO much difficulty has been expert
enced in the past few months in secur-
ing quorums at stockholders meetings,
that a number of the plantation COM
panies have lately sent out blank pro-
Xies to stockholders asking them to
name some one as their proxy to repre-
sent them at meetings. The stockhold-
ders are asked to name some one or
other of the officers of the particular
corporation for which proxy is asked,
or any other person who is likely to
attend. Making out these proxies does
not preclude the stockholder from vot-
ing his own stock at any meeting at
which he is present, but it goes far
toward insuring quorum at meet
ings. a

has been repaired by and under the
control of Japan, is to be surrendered

Army to report on the amount of
money spent for the repairs of the line,

amount of compensation asked for by
Japan is said to be nearly two million
yen.
