Thefts on the Coptic.

Today, before Mr.. lakeland, Chan
Fo Sing, cabinboy on the steamship
Coptic, was smartly dealt with for
stealing. He was first charged, on the
complaint of Capt. J. H. Kinder, with
having, on the high seas, on or about
April 23d last, stolen a gold watch,
chain and locket of the value of $500
gold. The property belonged to Mr..
Arthur Tirreli Hellyer The defendant
was one of the saloon walters. Mr.
Hellyer reported his loss on the morn
ing of the 23d instant, in Yokohama
harbor The gold watch was found in
defendants trunk, and it and the chain
and locket produced. Captain Kinder
identified positively as the missing ar
ticIes. Sergeant O'SulliYan said that
on the goth instant, at p. m, the
defendant took him to 29 Queens
Road East Defendant said his broth
er lived there. He and his brother
then went into a cubicle in the front
part of the house. The brother handed
a box to defendant, and in il was
found the chain. The defendant then
handed the locket to witness. Defend
ants story was that he picked the
articles up. and intended handing
them to the chief engineer. His wor-
ship passed sentence of four months
on the complaint of H Speier. chief
steward Of the COptiC, charged with
the theft of two bottles Of olive OIL

THE BELLE OF NEW YORK ;,
LilI1putians Display Great Cleverness
In the Bill.

The second performance of the BILE
of New York" last night was fully as
meritorius as the first production OH Sat
urday, which IS saying great deal in
its favor.
The youngsters compare avorabIy,
most favura Il, with their elders in he
profession in the production. Alice Ben
netto. with a sympathetic and well train
ed voice, girlishly fresh but powerful, is
excellent in the title role, and would ap-
pear to advantage in any company Of her
seniors.
There is a whole lot of talent among
the Lilliputtans. Madge Williams, us
Fiji, is artlessly charming, and has none
of the too often palpable tricksy clever
ness of the child artist. Little Daphne
Trott, as the Comic Opera Queen, Is as
chic as she can be, and Willie Pollard
displayed no little humor as Ichabod
Bronson.
All through the cast originality and
| cleverness is displayed, indeed had an
adult company as much individual talent
! for their years, they might rightly be
termed an all-star cast.
The dances, individual and and collec-
tive, are cleVerly planned and gracefully
carried out, while the costumes especially
deserve more than a passing word of
praise
The inopportune time, and last night
the weather, have combined to bring but
poor houses to the Lilliputians, when,
with ordinary luck, it is safe to say that
they would have created a furore in the
town. They are well worth crowded
houses, and those who have not seen the
Belle of New York. would do we'll to
order seats for Thursday. They will not

German Lloyd May Come.

1t is rumored in shipping circles in
the Orient that within thirty days the
North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany viii have their vessels touching
this port. It is said that the company
is already advertising in Chinese pa
pers announcing its intention of run
ming a regular line from Chinese ports
via Japan and Honolulu to San Fran
cisco. This will give this company
what probably will be the longest line
in the world, as they already have
steamers running from Bremen to the
Orient. The report has been current
for a year, but at that time nothing
came of it, as the company had nc rail-
road connections in the States. Since
then, however, the Atchisou, Topeka
and Santa Fe road has secured a t=r-
minus in San Francisco, and it Is re-
ported that this line viii connect with
the steamship company.

LIGHT WIRES
FLASH FIRE
Continued from page ~

the Hawaiian Electric Company was
running during the early part of the
evening IN an effort to supply current.
Two circuits were finally cut off. The
electric company says that under the
present circumstances, with the wires
running along the sides of streets,
they have to De strung through tops
Of trees. Everywhere the people object
TO the cutting of limbs. Space is gem
orally made when wires are strung.
but owing TO the prolific foliage, which
grows so quickly the wires are often
surrounded by masses of leaves and
rest on branches. When a heavy rain
fall occurs, such as that of last night.
the trouble commences. The conditions
are such now that the rainy season has
set in, that in order to protect the
lives of the people, many trees may
have to be trimmed.
