FLYING WITH PALM LEAVES
THE STRANGE PERFORMANCES OF
a NATIVE.
Hawaii Brings Forward a Man Who
Puts Papa Ita's Hot Stone Business
i'm the Shade

Papa lta is not in 1t. a native Ha-
waiian has been found who can put him
in the shade Compared TO the perfor-
nance of the Hawaiian the Tahitians S
hot stone stunt is as commonplace as
bearded ladies and living skeletons.
The Hawaiian freak is "a man who
can fly, or at least soar, and he is go
ing to be photographed while doing it,
when the next favorable opportunity
comes. He has no elaborate machinery
such as the German expert who re-
Gently made an aerial trip uses and he
needs no balloon. All he wants is
couple of big palm leaves and a strong
wind and he will soar all day at so
much per soar. ......... ...
The native who claims to be able to
do the soaring was unearthed at Wal
anae, by an Englih tourists named
Osborne, who has been in Honolulu
for some months and has secured many
interesting photographs while here.
When Osborne heard of the natives
strange doings in mid air he wanted
picture of them. The native was
willing. He said that any time when
there was a high wind he would do
his mid-air act before a camera
The Hawaiian says he can climb to
the top of high palm tree or any
other tree with two big palm leaves,
place them under his arms in the pro-
per position and then soar gently to
the ground. 1t doesn't matter how
high the tree is. All that is needed
is good wind. He goes head first and
lands on his hands, touching ground
as gently as a bird
The picture if secured will be highly
interesting one. 1t will put Hawaii far
ahead of Tahiti. Hot stone walking is
nothing besides soaring from palm
trees. 1t is thought that the public of
Honolulu would pay even more than S2
head to see the native make his
gyrations from a lofty perch at the top
of palm tree, and If other natives
can learn the palm leaf trick. it will
be one of the greatest attractions for
tourists that Honolulu ever had

LONDON, February 1.-"General De

respondent of the Daily Mail. 1T is
unofficially confirmed that he has en-
tered Cape Colony, but defiuite news

1T is understood here" says the
Durham correspondent of the Standard,
that operations in the field will soon
be revived on a large scale and the
policy of hunting out and capturing the
Beers with mounted troops will be pur-
sued"
The Daily News this morning edito-

made to utilize the presence in England
of numerous sovereigns in representa-
tives of European states on the occa-
sion when the world is mourning the
death of a peace-loving Queen, to Sc
cure the cessation of the unhappy wal
in South Africa"
LONDON, January 31.-General

.D|SPENSARY IS CERTAIN
so DECLARE MEMBERS OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
Announcement Arouses Saloon Men
And They Will Appoint A Fighting
Committee At Once.

From the complexion of things today
1t would seem that the Dispensary Ii
quor law will certainly pass in the first
days of the Legislative session. This
looks like rushing matters a bit, but
DR.. Russell and his colleagues are not
disposed to lose any time about it,
Contrary to the general impression, the
Home Rulers have been considering the
measure for long time and since cleo
ton have gone deeply into the subject.
The bill carrying the measure has ac-
tually been drawn and except for slight
amendments that may creep in, will be
presented in it's present form.
1t is given out most positively that
the Independents and Democrats in the
Legislature are together and unnani-
nous for the law. Today it was stat
ed that S. w. Wilcox, Democratic mem
Der of the lower house from Kauai, was
in favor of the bill, and that II. p.
Baldwin, Republican Senator from
Maui, had promised to support it. These
are mere rumOrs and may or may not
be correct. The attitude of other Re
publicans toward the bill is not yet
known, though it is believed that they
will stand solidly against it,
A wholesale liquor dealer said this
morning that it would require a million
dollars to purchase the stocks of the
various wholesale and retail houses of
Honolulu, tllO, WalluKu ana Lahalna
alone. In addition there would have
to be money for the purchase of the
light wine and beer stocks throughout
the country. In addition, if the bill
goes through he felt that at least six
months should be allowed dealers to
get their affairs in shape for the
change.
The movement for the dispensary
system has come up so quietly that the
fanDnpFanra N ~ tinng of f.It "
have known very little about It, AS
far as can be learned there is a division
of sentiment among them in regard to
the measure, the ideas of the proper
thing ranging all the way from an APP
proval of the present system down ia
absolute prohibition.
Saloon men are today discussing the
matter of a committee TO wait upon the
members of the Legislature against the
bill.

DISCUSS THE CABLE BILL
CALIFORNIA CONGREssMEN AND
WILCOX.
Efforts to Secure Action This Session
Sherman Subsidy Plan may be En-
dorsed.

WASHINGTON, January 2S.-A con-
ference of California Congressman, at
tended by Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii,
was held today to discuss the Pacific
cable bill and the means to bring IL up
during the present session. The opinion
seemed to be that the bill was hardly
likely to be considered, but that an
effort should be made in the hope that
public sentiment might be aroused suf-
ticiently to cause Speaker Henderson
10 give consideration to the bill.
The Sherman bill, which is favored by
the majority of the committee in charge
of Pacific cable matters, provides for
the construction of a cable by private
enterprise, the Government to pay a
subsidy of $200,000 per year for twenty
years and to have its business done
over the line practically for nothing.
Many members favor the Hale bill,
which has already passed the Senate,
providing for Government construction
and control. They have told Sher-
man that his bill would not be well re-
ceived by the country at large, and at
last accounts Sherman stood ready to
reduce the subsidy paid by the Govern
ment to $15O,0O0 a year.
The California members, after dis
cussing the subject, practically agreed
to vote for the Sherman bill rather
than come to a deadlock over the ca
BILE proposition. They will endeavor to
have the Hale bill favorably consid-
cred, and If a majority in the House
develops against them they will urge
the passage of the Sherman bill or any
other calculated to start cable CON
StruCtiOn.

CHINA AND MAR|POSA
MAIL STEAMERS COME THROUGH
THE STORM.
The Marposa Far Ahead of Time in
Spite of Terrible Weather-Passen-
gers on the China.

The China arrived at two o'clock to-
day from San Francisco, bringing news
and mail up to February 1. She had
very rough weather since the second
day out. This was the cause of her
lateness. 1t is seldom the China fails
to show up on time and her experience
shows that the storm has been
very severe over a wide stretch OF
ocean.
The China and everyone who was
waiting for her had to wait for the
quarantine officer. The doctor started
out In his steam launch but found the
bar too rough. The launch was nearly
swamped. The doctors clothes got wet
and he went up town to change them,
wherefore the steamer had a long de-
lay at the wharf and n large crowd
wondered what was the matter.
The China brought the following pas
sengers: Mr.. and Mrs Il. j. Benjamin,
Mr.. and Mrs. f. w. Blackford, Mrs. d.
M. Chambers, j. b. Collins, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. H. Chamberlain and children,

TRIAL OF GLAZE.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 29-
When the case of r. E. Glaze, late of
Hilo, charged with the murder of his
partner Trevella, was called before Po-
lice Judge Conlan yesterday on preli-
minary examination, Attorney w. w.
FoOte announced that the defense was
prepared to proceed with the examina-
tion of witnesses. 1t was not expected
that any testimony would be presented
at the preliminary examination, but it
now seems that an effort is to be made
to have Glaze either released or to
have the charge against him reduced
to manslaughter. The evidence intro
duced tended to show that Trewella
had on several occasions threatened
Glaze's life

A SOLDIER LAID AWAY
DEATH OF A MAN FROM THE
PHILIPPINES.
Military Honors for Man Who
Was Killed by the Climate of
Luzon.

The first military funeral Honolulu
has seen for many day took place
this morning, when private Mullins,
who came here invalided from the
Philippines, was Inferred with the hon
ors due to a man who had lost his life
in the service of his country. The de-
ceased is one of those who went to the
Philippines as a volunteer broke down
under the terrible strain of campaingn-
ing in Luzon and was sent home as a
hospital patient. He could not last un-
til he reached home ana was put ashore
here from the transport Warren.
The story of Mullin is a very sad one.
He has no relative nearer than Liver
pool, England. When the war broke
out he was in the United States and
became member of the 37th Infantry.
He went to the Philippines and was a
good soldier, but the climate under
minded his constitution and a few
months ago the authorities invalided
him home, in the hope that better elm
ate would help him. He was only 2S
years old but there was no hope for
him. The cause of death was consump-
ton.
Funeral services We're conducted at
the parlors of the Honolulu Undertak-
ing company by the Rev. V. II. Kit
cat. The remains were accompanied
to Nuuanu cemetery in fearful ram
storm by a firing party of eight, six
pall-bearers and a musician, from
Camp Mckinley.
After the remains had been lowered
into the grave the customary three
volleys We're fired and then musician
W. f. Smith sounded taps and the
dead soldier was left. A grave in far
off Honolulu was the end of his long
journey from Liverpool to become an
American citizen and fight for America

ments for Seating 1900 People.

Probably i'm few cities outside the
British Empire has there been more
visible recognition of honor due to the
memory of the late Queen Victoria
than in Honolulu. In addition to the
memorial services arranged and the
official recognition given merchants
| ana business men generally have dis
played portraits of the late queen in
| their store windows. Along any of the
| principal business streets of the city
almost every window shows the Vie
torian features. In many instances the
pictures are handsomely draped. The
pictures displayed are of almost every
period of the late Queens life, and
aside from their memorial purpose, are
an interesting pictorial history of the
Victoria age as represented in her who
gave II that name.
The memorial services in honor of the,
| late Queen Victoria began at Kawaia-
hao at o'clock.
Nearly all the business houses of the
city closed their doors at noon, and
the town soon began to take on the
| look of a solemn holiday.
In addition to a very general atten-
dance of citizens, most of the territorial
officers including Governor Dole and
the heads of executive departments, the
consular corps and other officials were
present.
