STUCK IN THE MUD.
Tampico Can Not Come Here For a
While.

The steamship Tampico which is
about due here with cargo of beer and
other good things from the Sound, will
probably not arrive for some weeks
Advices were brought this morning by
the Californian and they produced
quite a disappointing effect upon the
public.
The Tampico is the first of the new
line of steamships which is to run here.
She started from Seattle about Septem-
Der % for this port but ran into the
mud. The damage done the vessel was
considerable. and it was found neces-
sary to put her on the dry dock.
The Californian is one of the Ameri-
can Hawaiian line and is here to load
sugar for around the Horn. She was
sighted at 6:45 o'clock this morning. 1t
was thought that she might have some
later news than that brought by the
Nippon Maru last week, but the Cali
fornian took eleven days coming down
having left Seattle at daylight of Sep
tember 27. Nothing of incident occur
ed during the voyage, Captain Lyons
reported.

No DOUBT or GERMAN LLOYD
OPERATING SOON.
officer on America Maru Says That
Establishment of Pacific Line Is
Well Known i'm Orient Now.

There Is absolutely no doubt what
ever said an officer of the America
Maru yesterday that the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company Will be
operating across the Pacinc TO san
Francisco within a few months
1t Is rather strange that nothing de-
Unite has been learned of 1t at San
Francisco by the papers for il is gem
orally discussed all over the orient.
When we left Hong Kong, the talk was
that the company Woulu begin to ope-
rate by January. 1t is now accepted as
positive over there, that the German
Company will soon have its boats
operating from China to san Francisco.
The vessels are to stop at Honolulu.
1t was only a short time ago that
the North German Lloyd sent their spe-
cial agent to San Francisco to make
arrangements concerning the establish
ment of agencies and other matters
connected with the opening of a new
steamship route. can not say whe-
ther the agent came to Honolulu, but
if he did not should judge that he will
soon be here to arrange for an agency.
provided of course. that the line is GO
ing to call here and l understand that
such is the plan. .........
THE North German Lloyd is certainly
a swell line, in every sense of the word
The vessels are up to date in every res
pect. They are larger than any others
which run on the Pacific and are much
faster. They are about 10000 tons IN
size and will, no doubt, be run for the
purpose of catering to the travelling
public. They carry orchestras on board
and in every way are conducted with a
view to pleasing the travelling public.
The North German Lloyd are out for
the business and they will go after 1t as
soon as they think there is anything do
ing. They have already taken practI-
cally all of the passenger business away
from the p and O. line in the orient
whether the North German Lloyd
boats viii run direct from Bremen to
San Francisco l can not say. l do not
think however that such will be done.
The plan will probably be to run n
separate line from Hong Kong to
Shanghai and Japanese ports to San
Francisco, similar to the lines now ope-
rating across the Pacific The Bremen
and Prince Heinrich are among the
vessels which will probably be put on
the Pacific run.
"The Toyo Kisen Kaisha has started
three 10000 tons boats which viii, (
think, open the eyes of the public and
show them that our line is up TO date
too in everyway.'
The files of papers from San Fran
! cisco by the Sierra ought to bring news
/ of some character regarding the es-
| tabhshment of the new route by the
| North German Lloyd Company The
| matter is now so generally discussed in
! shipping circles, that 1t seems strange
! the San Francico papers, which is TO
| be one of the terminal points, have not
yet learned of the impending line.

CHINATOWN FIRE AGAIN
SUPREME COURT TO HEAR AN
OTHER CASE.
Third Appeal. for Damages From Insur-
ance Companies-Judge Silliman
Quoted Against Attorney Silliman.

Ex-Judge Silliman was quoted
against himself this moning, by Attor-
ney Robertson. in the Supreme Court.
olIliman wanted the case of Choy Look
See against the Royal Insurance Com
pany heard at once, While robertson
said there was no hurry about it. 1t
is an action brought to recover insur-
ance for goods lost in the Chinatown
fire.
THE trouble with the attorneys for
plaintiff in this case is that they don't
know when they are beaten said Rob-
ertson. "The issue has been tried, on
both kinds of policies, in the circuit
court, and in a decision rendered by
Judge Silliman it was held that the
insurance companies were not liable.
Circuit Judge Silliman's able deci-
sion was sustained by the Supreme
Court, and l do not see the use of press
ing this case now"
Silliman said that there We're new
points in the Choy Look See case and
Robertson replied that they were all
raised by the defendant. They went to
"the merits of the case," was Silliman' s
reply.
Il have a lot of cases that are wait
ing for this one" said f. M. Brooks,
'and every time they come up in the
circuit court they are put over because
it is claimed that this case will settle
the issues" Brooks wanted the court
to hear the case at once.
Acting Chief Justice Galbraith, after
consultation with Perry announced
that no postponement would be allowed
and the case was set down for imme-
diate hearing. The Supreme Court Will
therefore have a chance to rule again
on the question of whether insurance
companies are liable for Chinatown fire
losses.
The decision in re Choy Look See will
be the third rendered by the Hawaiian
Supreme Court in the matter of the
claims of those who lost property in
the Chinatown fire, against the insur-
ance companies.

WHY THE CAPTAIN DID NOT
ENTER.
Customs Office Closed out OF Respect
For The President-Dunne Approves
The Fine.

Acting United states District Attor-
ney j. j. Dunno has approved the aC-
tion of the deputy collector of customs
at Hilo, in fining the bark Marion Chill
colt 500 for failing to enter at the Hilo
custom house within "a hours after her
arrival, as required by United States
laws. 1t appears that the general clos
ing of offices resulting from the receipt
of news of the death of President Me
Kinley was indirectly the cause of the
fine.
The Marion Chilcott arrived at tIfo
on the afternoon of September 25, the
day on which the news of the Presl-
dents death was received at Hilo. The
deputy collector at once closed the office
without waiting for orders from WASH
ington or Honolulu, out of respect TO
the President. While the office was
closed Captain A. p. Nelson of the
Marion Chilcot arrived with his papers
and tried to enter. He found the Office
closed and went away, and, according
to the statement sent to Collector
Stackable by Deputy Ridgway, the cap
tain refused to try to enter again.
The customs office was opened for an
hour on the evening of the 25th ana a
vessel was cleared, but the captain of
the Marion Chilcott did not show mp.
The next day Ridgway sent notice to
him, and the deputy states that he sent
such notice for two days, before impos-
ing the fine. Captain Nelson paid no
attention and Ridgway's next step was
to impose the fine.
r. r. Guard, agent of the Matsor line,
is now in Honolulu trying to straighten
the mater out. The United States Dis
trict Attorney however, has approved
/ the fine, after looking into the reports
sent Is Stackable by the collector at
Hilo.

MAIL PACKAGE HELD AT SAN
FRANCISCO.
Internal Revenue Bureau Runs Short
of Much Needed Stamps-Registered
Mail Held for American Vessels.

The one-cent internal revenue stamps
supposed to be on the last steamer from
the coast did not materialize, and as a
result the internal revenue office here
has been utterly without any OF the
stamps today. The stamps are used
for steamer shipping receipts and today
being steamer day there was much need
for them.
Cousins stated that the department
had given instructions for the use Of
three-cent stamps instead. Each re-
Ceipt is made out i'm triplicate and a
one-cent stamp is supposed to be laced
on each copy Notice was given that
a three-cent stamp on the original
would be regarded as sufficient, and
such stamps were generally used today.
The 100000 stamps which the last
steamer brought notice had been maileA
are expected tomorrow on the Sierra.
The notice received by the Nippon Maru
was that the stamps had been sent by
registered mail, and 1t was supposed
that they would come with the notice.
They failed to show up, however, The
one-cent stamps are used exclusively
for shipping receipts. and there is a
heavy demand for them here, owing to
the large amount of inter-island ship
ping. -
1t is supposed that the delay was due
to the action of the postal authorities
at San Francisco. in waiting for an
American vessel to send the stamps on,
While ordinary mail Is sent on the for
eign vessels, the registered mail is held
to await American steamers.

MIKAHALA's NATIVE CREW GETS
IN JAIL
Seven Were Arrested Last Night for
Gambling-steamshp People Paid
Their Fines Today.

For a while this morning, 1t looked as
if the steamer MikahaIa might not be
able TO get away on the Kauai run this
afternoon at 8 O'Clock. Lack of crew
was the cause. The failure of the crew
TO appear, was not due 70 any strike
but because seven of them We're locked
up tight and fast in the police station.
At an early hour this morning, the
police made a raid on a supposed gam
bling resort on the Asylum Road AL
though the greater number Of the men
had disappeared, seven natives were
caught, either i'm the act of playing the
festive game of draw poker or else
watching the others play. The crowd
arrested were John Moluki, Hale, Ha-
nape, Pakui, KIM Makani, Unea and
Mkt. They were arraigned before Judge
Wilcox this morning to answer to
charges of violating section 39l which
prohibits gambling.
In the meanwhile however, the ut
most CONSERVATION reigned at the IN
ter Island wharf. The crowd usually
reports early for work on sailing day
but o'clock then 8 o'clock came and
nobody appeared. For a time, things
were lively and blue on the dock NO
reason for the desertion Of the crew
could be assigned. Finally, word was
sent to the Inter-Island people that the
crew was in jail. Frank Harvey went
up to the police station to see what
could be done. The outfit pleaded
guilty and were fined $40 and costs
each which brought the fines to total
of SIT.
This amount looked pretty steep.
Harvey went with the idea of paying
the fines and getting the men back on
the boat, but when he saw ST. plunks
between the crew and the boat, he hesi-
tated. At first he thought it would be
wiser to let the crowd remain In jail
and work out their fines, the company
trusting to secure men elsewhere TO
work the vessel.
1t was finally decided however to pay
the fines and get the old men back, SO
Harvey went into court and got his
crowd free by paying their fines. When
he left the court, he was at the head
Of quite a procession as the seven sub
dued and sorrowful sailors followed MIN

o'clock on the w. G. Halls run.

London, Dec. 18.-David Lloyd
George, M. p, in speaking in Birming-

scene unprecedented in that city since
the Aston Park riots. A majority OF
the audience were hostile to the speak
er and were enraged by his anti
Chamberlain and pro-Boer ~utterances.
They crowded the police around the
platform. In the meanwhile the build
ing was beseiged from the outside by
a mob of several thousand people who
smashed windows and tried to force
the doors which had been barricaded.
They fusiladed the audience with
stones through the windows.
The police reserves were turned Out
and succeeded in dispensing the mot
after repeated charges. A number OF
persons were injured and the town
hall was completely wrecked. Not
a single window was left whole.

river to the Pacific ocean in stage
route days, is dead at Liberty, Mo,
aged 81 years. In 1887, with General
Thomas L. Price, he established stage
lines covering long routes in Missouri

SYNOPSIS OF BILL
Prepared BY Committee Of Statesmen
of Arid West.

The committe Of II senators and
members Of the house appointed by
the full congressional representation
from the western arid land states to
draft a bill providing for national leg
islation for irrigation, have completed
the bill they we're authorized to frame,
but it will not be introduced in either
house of congress until after thes
Christmas holidays. The bill en-
bodies some of the provisions of both
the Shaforth and the H~ansbrough-
Newlands bill. It's central idea is the
devotion of the proceeds Of the sale
of the public lands to the reclamation
of those lands. 1t also increases the
price Of the public lands to be bene-
flied by the proposed irrigation enter
prises, so as to make settlers pay part
of the cost of construction.
The bill provides that all moneys re-
ceived from the sale and disposal of
public lands in the arid land states
shall be set aside as a reclamation
fund, that legislation and survey Of
river sites, tunnels and for division
of water and irrigation canals connect
ed Herewith shall be made, that the
secretary of the interior may withdraw
from public entry the lands required
for irrigation works and the public
lands proposed to be irrigated by them,
and that upon the determination be-
ing reached that any irrigation pro-
ject is practicable, contract shall be
made for it's construction, if the es-
innate of the engineer shows that the
cost will not exceed $40 per acre on
the land to be reclaimed.
After construction the lands to be ir-
rigated are to be subject to homestead
entry in areas not exceeding 80 acres
upon the entryman paying IS per acre
to the reclamation fund. This fund is
to be used for the operation and main
tenance of reservoirs and irrigation
works, except the reservoirs shall be
turned over to the settlers, who are
required as a body corporate to oper
ate and maintain them. 1t also pro
vides that in the event that there is
sufficient water for public and private
lands, water rights may be sold fol
the irrigation of private lands at
price of not less than IS per acre.
Full power is given to condemn the
purposes. 1t is provided that state
lands needed for e%rservoir and ditcl
laws shall govern in the matter of thu
appropriation and distribution o
water. Power to make general rule
and regulations is vested in the sec
rotary of the interior,

CLARK TIMBER LAND CASES
Witness Who Did Not Come to Mon
tana for His Health.

Helena, Dec. 18.-The feature Of
the examination before Judge Blake
today in the proceedings of the United
States against w. A.. Clark to set
aside a large number of timber en-.
tries on the ground of fraud was the
cross-examinatiCn of G. l.. Griswold,
one of the leading witnesses for the
government, whose direct examina-
ton was held at Butte last week. Dur
ing his cross-examination Griswold
practically admitted that he had testi-
fed falsely in regard to the final
proofs of some of the entrymen. He
admitted that he swore falsely when
Harriet Bryan was making her final
proof in making oath that she had not
sold or agreed to sell the land she was
about to acquire or that there was any
agreen,e nt between herself and any
one else that her title would pass to
another party. Griswold testified to
practically the same thing respecting
the case of Albert Jamison and sew
eral others. During his cross-examina-
ton ,Griswold admitted that he did not
come to Montana for his health.
Chas. B. Speary Of the Blackfoot,
another witness, while not admitting
that there had been a prior agreement
between him and Cobban, said that
Cobban paid him $500 in the Helena
land Office the day he made final proof
And later, when he transferred the
land to Cobban, he received 500 in
cash and $25 for expenses.
John Murtaugh, whose wife was in
dicted by the grand jury, testified thai
he had a conversation with Griswold
with reference to some land in the
Clearwater, which was subsequently
located and transferred to Cobban
who, witness said, had paid him $lO(
the day final proof was made.

indictment charging her with killing
of her husband by the use of poison.
The court room was filed with spec
tators. Mrs. Hooks in deep mourning
and heavily yelled entered the court
room with several friends, including
Rev. DR.. Neel and her attorneys. The
trial probably will be called on Jan
