WOULD LAND MILLION CHINESE
IN MEXICO.
Tells About $12,OOO,OOO Company on the
Coast and How He Came to Get In
With 1t.

l.. X. Kentwell of Honolulu, one of
the promoters of a san Francisco
scheme to settle a million Chinese III
Mexico, has returned and will probably
remain here several months before re-
turning to his Sl2,O0O,OOO office on the
Coast.
Il went to San Francisco" said Mr.
Kentwell, "on business in connection
with a Chinese bank. This MeNcon
scheme was not in mind at all. When
it was presented to me l was rather
taken with it, and, after the plans had
been somewhat modified, l consented
to go in. The principal man in the en-
terprise at that time then and now is
M. f. Tarpey, one of the best known
politicians of California. He lived
twelve years in Mexico and is a close
personal friend to President Diaz, from
whom we expect to secure important
concessions.
"The company has secured from
Mexico an immense tract of land along
the western coast upon which it is
purposed to settle the Cinnamon. The
soil is fertile and will grow anything.
Another vocation of the settlers will be
fishing. We will transport the people
from China to the reservation in our
own ships. 1t will take years to do it.
After that the trade between the colony
and China should be something i'm
mense.
Just now there is little hitch in
proceedings, and upon the outcome Will
depend my movements in the immedl-
ate future. At the beginning both the
Chinese and Mexican governments
agreed to admit FOODS at either end for
fifty years free of duty. The under
standing was, of course, that the goods
should be either imported or exported
by colonist. The Mexican congress
has failed to act on this matter and 1t
therefore lacks approval. Our repre-
lsentatives have gone to the city of
Mexico in hopes of getting it through;
"Since this failure we have not called
in any money and do not intend calling
in any more until everything is settled

cipal subscribers to stock, although

PRIZE INCoRRIGIBLE.
Harry Carpenter is Committed to the
Reform School.

The prize incorrigible youth was in
Judge Wiicox's court this morning. 1t
ended with the youngster, Harry Car
penter. being committed to the reform
school. The result is that quite an ad-
venturous career has been nipped in the
bud.
Carpenter was seized with desire to
become a soldier and see war, so when
the Spanish trouble broke out he beat
his way from San Francisco on the
steamer San Jose down to Panama and
then crossed the Isthmus and finally
made his way over to Cuba. After re-
manning with soldiers he went back to
San Francisco but decided to go to the
Philippines. He slowed away on the
transport Logan but was discovered
and put off at this place. He was
caught by the police and charged with
appropriating several bicycles but was
finally committed to the Castle home,
owing to his extreme youth.
Young Carpenter who is but IL years
of age, did not feel the restraining in
fluence at the Home but became, If pos
sible, more incorrigible than before. In
fact his influences were said to have
had a very sinister influence upon the
other children so he was arrested and
taken before Judge Wilcox. The young
ster will probably serve a number of
years under the guardianship of the
territory

RFSIGNATION TARLED.

This afternoon the Senate tabled DR..
Russels resignation from the office of
President What will now be done will
depend upon the results of Home
Rule caucus to be held this evening. 1t
looks as though DR.. Russell will be the
object of some attack from his col
leagues and may get the worst of it.
He is still firm in the stand that he will
not accept the office. Although the
Senate rejected his resignation he says
that the only way the body can get him
back into the chair is to do so by chains
and due process of law. That seems to
settle it. The following is an account
of the proceedings in the Senate this
afternoon

EFFECT SUCCESSFUL ALLIANCE
THIS MORNING.
Arrest Five Soldiers on Charge Of TAX
ing Small Boat Belonging to Bark
Andrew welch.

The army lamb the navy lion and the
territorial goat laid down together this
morning. An alliance for arresting pur-
poses was formed between them The
result was a complete success and five
soldiers of the transport Meade were
taken into custody on a charge of
'swiping' a small boat belonging TO the
American bark Andrew WEIGH.
To Captain Flint of the Harbor police
belongs the credit of eftecting the aui-
ance. This morning he learned that
one of the small boats of the Andrew
Welch had been taken from the side OF
the vessel which is lying at the Brewer
wharf He also saw that five gentle
men i'm khaki We're the CustOdians of the
missing craft. The men and their boat
were lying alongside of the naval
wharf enjoying the refreshing breezes
from off shore. IuasmuCh as they were
on the naval reservation and were also
enlisted men, the captain decided that
it would be the better course for him
TO secure authority from their COM
mander to take them into custody and
secure possession of the boat He ex-
planned the situation to the command
ing officer on the Meade and was given
detachment Of five men.
The alliance OF the civil and army
authorities was then accomplished
without trouble but whether the navy
certain. Captain Flint and his five blue
uniformed men, with bayonets set
marched over to the government vessel
Iroquois and asked for the loan of a
small boat to enable them TO chase
after the pirates. In addition to being
given the boat two Of the iackies of the
Iroquois We're sent along to man her
The five soldiers and the Andrew
Welch's boat were discovered to be
over on the light house island where no
doubt the men were discussing the sit
uation in the Philippines with Bill
Williams. The heavily ladened navy
boat was dispatched across the channel
and in due time the five men were
taken into custody The soldiers did
not offer any lengthy explanations as to
how they came by the ships boat. They
were game however and rowed the boat
back to the mauka side of the channel
so Captain Flint did not find it neces-
sary to put a prize crew aboard. The
soldiers were taken aboard the Meade
as the civil authorities will not prose-
cute them.
The five prisoners claimed that some
other soldiers had given them the boat
and told them to have good time row.
