DISTRICT COURT At WORK
JUDGE ESTEE BEGINS SPRING
TERM
All Morning Spent in Questioning the
Jurors-Grand Jury is Short-Charge
Probably Tomorrow.

The first term of the United States
district court opened this morning. All
OF the time was spent in getting Juries.
The grand jury list failed on account of
the number of excuses. When the mat
ter was figured out it was found that
the jury was seven short. 1t will be
necessary to summon other men.
Edward Hapai was excused because
he was a court clerk at Hilo. Sam.
Lederer was sick. j. q. Spencer was
allowed to step aside because he was
on the last Territorial grand jury and
investigated some of the subjects to
come up.
Attachments were issued for Charles
Bellina and A. l.. Morris, they having
failed to answer.
1t rs not unlikely that the charge to
the jury will be reached tomorrow
morning.
1t is whispered that Judge Estee's
charge will be a bit sensational. Church
people expect something in it in regard
to Iwilei and to slavery among Asia
tics. Quite a number of them were
present in the court room this morn
ing. 1t is expected that several mat
ters contained in Judge Humphreys
last charge will be inquired into by this
jury, in so far as United States laws
are affected.
1t is the intention of Judge Estee to
have twenty-three men on the grand
jury. Judge Humphreys had only
thirteen.

TWENTY SIXTH REGIMENT AR
RIVEs ON GARoNNE.
Received Largest Surrender of Filipino
Troops During the War-Was sta
toned in Island of Panay.

After eighteen months of hard SER
vice the Twenty-sixth regiment is now
on it's way home to be mustered out.
The regiment is far from being up to
the fun strength that it was when it
first passed through here to the Philip
pines, as only 800 and some odd men
are going back on the transport Ca
rome. The rest of the 1,300 were either
mustered out in Manila, invalided
home or else died in the Philippines.
The boys had lively service though
and to the Twenty-siXth re ~iment be-
longs the distinction of receiving about
the biggest surrender of insurgents
during the entire war. Colonel Rice
their commander, received this surren-
der. General Martini del Gado was the
name of the Filipino commander. Fif-
teen hundred rifiemen and bolo men
laid down their arms to Colonel Rice
at the town of Jaro, Island of Panay
on February End. The regiment was
stationed on the island of Panay, most
all of the time in the Philippines.
The insurgents were in larger num-
bers on Panay Island than any other
island of the group. So bad were they
that when the Twenty-sixth regiment
went to the island the Americans were
in possession of only about miles on
either side of the town of Iweili. Gen
eral Hughes had command of the de-
partment and under him Colonel Rice
and the Twenty sixth did splendid ser
vice Company A of the Twenty sixth
lost more men than probably any other
company. Eight men and one officer
were killed and about 1S more were in
valided home. At one time the insur-
gents were so active that there were
not enough troops to cope with them
and reniforcements had to be sent
A number of the men after being
mustered out remained in the Philip
pines to engage in various occupations
while several of the officers also stay
ed in the Philippines to take other COM
mands or engage in private enterprises.
Colonel Rice did not leave with his re-
nila. He will resume his former COM
mand with the 3rd infantry where he
holds a majors commission being a re-
gular army officer.
Major Guy V. Henry son of Brigadier
Henry, the first military governor of
Porto Rico commanded the first batta-
lion of the 26th Infantry but remained
in Manila to take a commission in an
other regiment.
First Lieutenant Daniel Monahan,
also was mustered out in the Philip
pines as he was to be promoted to the
regular army.
Captain John Boardman of Company
G left his regiment in Manila, to be ap-
pointed superintendent of schools at
Manila.
The regiment is now in command of
Lieutenant Colonel j. T. Dickman who
served on the staff of General Chaffee
during the PelIing campaign.

FILIPINO FIEsTAs.

MANILA, January 10-In Gods coun-
try we used to have holidays with more
or less attendant festivity occasionally
and usually before the day was over
we were tired out from not knowing
what to do with ourselves. or elese we
had observed the good old barbaric Gus
tom of our pilgrim forefathers and had
eaten an ineXcusable dinner in the mid
die of the day-inexcusable from it's
wide scope and weighty constituents
and as a result we sat impatient suf-
fering and then went to bed to fight II
out in nightmare.
Anticipation is the enjoyment of our
American holidays We do not know
what to do with ourselves when the real
time comes This is because we are not
educated to holidays. You should see
how different 1t is in a country where
fiestas are the rule and days of work
are only countenanced as an imperative
necessity

NEXT MAIL FROM THE COAST.

1t was stated that the transport Bu-
ford would sail from San Francisco on
the 1st for Manila via Honolulu. If she
did the vessel should reach here today
as she is said to be faster than most of
these vessels. Later advices received
by the Sonoma last week indicate how
ever that the Buford would not sail as
soon as expected. In this event there
will be a delay of a day or so in the
receipt of mail or papers unless some
other transport was dispatched in her
place. The lookout at Diamond Head
saw the smoke of a steamship around
Molokai point he thinks that the vessel
was not a transport.

CINCINNATI, July 9.-The fourth DAY

deavor Society was a light one, so far
as the programme was concerned, Ii
the EndeaI orers, in their determination
to miss nothing. we're OIL. en- masse in
attendance a. the two big meetings to-
day. At the last moment the three big
Music Hall rallies were consolidated
into two meetings. which were held IL
a%uditoriums Endeavor and Williston.
This same arrangement, in all prob15il-
ity, will hold good during tomorrow
and the third meeting, which is schedul-
ed for auditorium Ohio, will be dispens-
ed with. Auditoriums Endeayor aad
Williston are amply sufficient to accom-
niodate the Endeavorers. Five of the
prominent speakers are absent owing to
illness. These are Rev. Wilbur Chap
man, Rev. George d. Purves and Rev.
Charles c. Hall, Of New York; Rev.
John Henry Barrows, of 0berlin, Ohio,
and Rev. f. w. Gunsaulus, of Chi
cago.
After the usual two quiet hour meet
ings in the morning. which open every

Canon J. B. Richardson, of Londor,
presided at the auditorium Endeavor,

rian Lawrence, of Toledo, delivered ar
address on the power o. the SUNDAY

said constitutes the only effevtive meth
Cd Of extending the church and Chris
tianity. Rev. A. J.. Lyman arose from
a sick bed against the advice of his
physician to attend the convention. He
said the Bible is the book of incarna-
ton. the God in literature and its power
is the power of that life produced in

A PARCELS POST NEEDED.

Progressive in most -hings, we are
still behind Europe in the development
Of several public utilities that are un-
der government control. Our postal
service, otherwise excellent, is behind
that of Europe in many particulars. 1t
is only lately that we have alopted the
rural free delivery system. European
countries have enjoyed it for many
years, and proved it's feasibility.
Another branch of the postal service
which has long been familiar in Europe
jrunknown " the United States-the
parcels post. Nhe establishment of such
an institution has already been broach-
I'd in this country. but has always met
9Th objections and no encouragement.
Yet in a distinctly commercial country
such as the United States a parcels post
would be of infinite advantage to gen
eral trade by greatly facilitating the
handling of packages.
The parcels post in its perfection is
found in Germany, and it is eminently
successful. giving that country a con-
siderable advantage over others not en-
joying this facility. There the system is
reduced to a perfect business basis, and
last yea the profits were S12,442, 76S-
the balance left after all the expenses
Of the system had been paid.
In reaching out after the worlds trade
we couldn't do better than adopt the
parcels post system as early as possible,
for its absence and the restrictions of
the present method place Americans at
a decided disadvantage both abroad
and at home. For example, 1t is point
cd out that an American manufacturer
would have to pay an express company
S6.40 TO send a three-pound package to
the Argentine Republic. A German
manufacturer would pay 3 cents. When
it is considered that the value of the
article may be only 81 or So, the handi-
cap in favor of the German exporter
MAJ easily be seen.
II Europeans can successfully operate
a parcels post we can. Properly conduct
ed. it would increase the postal reven-
ues. It is a simple business proposition
and should be easy of solution. 1t is
bound TO come.

1t looks as if Col. James Kilbourne
would have a walkoyer for first place
on the Democratic ticket to be named
al Columbus today. All Others have
drawn out, and. although John l.. Zim-
herman is still in the race. his chances
are small. He can probably have sec
3nd place on the ticket, but as he has
ytated he will hot take that, eX-State
Treasurer Howells will probably be Col.
Kllbourne's running mate. This would
De an excellent ticket, with every ele-
ment of popularity.
Although there has been a good deal
OF red-hot politics in the air about
Columbus beforehand, the convention is
likely 10 be harmonious.
Neither Mclean nor Johnson will per-
sonally grace the assembly. al
though their friends will De there IN
force and the contest on platform will
be between the Mclean conservatives
and the Johnson radicals" the latter
desiring to have the platform endorse
9 radical change in the system of taxa
ton, putting the burden on the corpora
lions. especially the railroads, which
plan is opposed by the Mclean mer.
This will be the only point of differ
ence. and it will be decided beforehand
in the makeup of the committee on
platform, probably in favor OF the Me-
Lean men. who seem to control,
So there will be no scrapping in the
convention, and no for bad blood
u hard feelings afterward. Every
Democrat in the state may take off his
coat and work for the ticket. Which
is as it should be, and augurs well for
Democratic success.
