FAVORED by IsTHMIAN CANAL
COMMISSION
VIII Cost More Than Panama and
Maintenance VIII BE More-But has
other Decided Advantages.

WASHINGTON. December 4-The
report Of the lsthmian Canal Commis-
sion was sent 10 Congress today. The
Commission, as anticipated several
weeks ago, favOrs the Nicaragua route
an makes an estimate Of S1S9. s64. .O62 as
the total cost Of construction Of the
canal through Nicaragua. The estimat-
ed cost Of the Panama route Is Sl4s, ,233,-
1858 but, the report says, II would cost
sl09, ,1l1, 900 10 obtain the Panama con-
cession. The Commission values the
work done at S40,O000 900. The report says
the Panama route is feasible as Sea-
level canal. while the Nicaragua route
will furnish an inexhaustible supply Of
water for the canal
The Nicaragua route has no natural
harbOrs at either end. but satisfactory
harDOrs may be constructed. HarbOrs
already exist at each end Of the Panama
route, but considerable work must be
done at the entrance Of the harbOT on
the Atlantic side. With adequate force
and plant the Commission estimates
that the Nicaragua canal can be COM
pleted IN six years, exclusive OF two
years for preparation. Ten years is es-
timateu to complete the Panama. The
total length Of the Nicaragua route
is 1896 miles and the Panama
route 49.09 miles. The estimated cost
Of operating and maintaining the Mic
aragua canal annually is 81, $4,000 great
er than that Of the Panama canal The
estimated time for a deepdraught yes-
sci 70 pass through the Panama canal
Is twelve hours. and through the MIC
aragua canal thirty-six hours.
The Nicaragua route. the report
says, is more advantageous for COM
merce save that originating on the
west coast Of South America. For the
Gulf ports the advantage is two days,
and for most Of the ports on the AT
lantic and Pacific one day The Mica
ragua route is said to be better for
sailing vessels on account of faVOring
winds. Hygienic conditions also favor
Nicaragua.
George S. Morrison, a member OF the
Commission, submits a minority report
fayOring the Panama route.
WASHINGTON, December 1.-TWO
bills looking to the construction OF a
canal via the Nicaragua route we're in
troduced today in the senate. The
first Of these was presented by Senator
Morgan, the other by Senator Perkins.

RECIPROCITY DOOMED
ALL THE TREATIES WILL BE
PIGEON-HOLED.
Senator Perkins is Authority for the
Statement that no Reciprocity treaty
Will be Ratified This Session.

WASHINGTON December j.-The
President today transmitted TO the
Senate several treaties signed by Sec
retary Hay and ambassador Paunce-
fote extending the life of the jamaican
and other reciprocity treaties between
this country and British Islands. Notice
Of the extension Of the Dominican reel
procity treaty was also given.
The French treaty, 50 far as can be
learned, was not included in the list of
those sent i'm today Much secrecy was
observed in connection with this matter
and II was difficult to obtain exact In
formation. Additional assurances have
been given to the California Senators
however by Senators Lodge, Aldrich
Foraker and others that the reciprocity
treaties need not worry the Pacific
Coast that in all probability they will
be strangled in the committee room
Senator Perkins, who has paid partlcu-
lar attention to the subject is positive
that nothing will be done during this
session toward ratifying any reciprocity
treaty.
Il have become satisfied that there If
no danger" he said tonight. THE lead
ers have given me 10 understand thai
California need not be alarmed. Moth
ing will be done in treaty making thai
will injure the products or Industries oil
our State. The President has expressly
outlined this IN his message Amy treaty
that attempts to cut the tariff on goods
produced to large extent in the United
Safes Is foredOomed to failure"

ROW OVER A DEED TWELVE
YEARS OLD.
Harry Juen, J. II. Schnack and Will
liam savidge Charged with Assault
by Mrs Mamakee

The trial Of Harry Juen, J. H..
Schuack and William SaVldge for as
ssult and battery was begun this morn
ing before Judge Humphreys and a
jury The three were charged with an
assault on Mrs. Mamakee. who alleged
that they had entered her place and
roughly dragged her out. The case in
volves the title to some land In the
MeCully tract and IL probably the be-
ginning OF a fight in the civil courts
over the property.
The alleged fOrcble ejectment took
place just after the sale Of the prop
erty to Schnack, by Juen, who declares
that he bought II II years ago from
Mrs. Mamakee. The latter denies hav-
ing signed the deed.
After Schnack bought the property
the complaining witness appeared as a
claimant against him, and took possess
sion. She was not to be ousted by or
binary means, so the three defendants
went with a wagon, to impress her with
the need Of getting out. What hap
pened when they got there, was the
cause Of the assault and battery
charge.
I'VE told her that there was TO be no
fooling and that she would have to CO."
said Juen. We remarked that we
didn't want TO be too hard and had
brought a rig for her, and she said
that II she was to move we would have
to move the things. We called the
bluff, packed her things on the wagon
and she went. Neither Schnack nor
Savidge laid a hand on her at all, and
all J did was to take her hand as she
went down the steps.
Aloha. Mahope aku, she said as
she left us, and ] shouted Aloha. ]
supposed she meant that she was going
after the police, and she had us arrest
cd but Judge Wilcox dismissed the
charge"
After the possession Of the house had
beer recovered. Juen was left to hold
the fort, and he appears to have had a
lively time Of II. The friends of Ma
malSee assembled in force at the dwell
ing, led by Judge Davidson, attorney
admission Juen brandished a club and
quoted Walter Scott, to the effect that
Punchbowl would fly from it's firm base
before he cleared the doorway. The
attacking party retreated and the next
move was prosecution of Juen, Schnack
and Savldge.
The property involved is worth about
s2,bsx Juen claims that he paid for II
y yearst ago, and has Mamakee's deed
for 1t. Mamakee claims that she never
signed the deed and in fact cannot
write at all, and by way of proving it
she signed the complaint against the
three defendants with her mark.
The whole morning was spent in get
ting jurors. The prosecution readily
passed the first II men selected, but l..

THE GAMEwELL ALARM SYSTEM


with the Sierra all the preliminaries
of the installation of the fire and police
system for this city have arrived with
the exception of a small amount of iron
work, delayed by the recent strikes.
Colonel Coffee has now his foreman and
master workman down here and will
hire the rest of his labor locally, need
ing the services Of about ten men to
start with.
The boxes, connections and other ap-
paratus come complete from the Game
well Company and all that is needed for
the installation is the setting up of the
various parts.
Work will be started early next week
being commenced from the central dis
tricts and extending gradually putwards
until the suburbs are re0ch d and the
city protected with a ramiication Of
signal carrying wires.
The central station for the fire end OF
the service will be the Central station
at the corner of Fort and Eeretania
streets with the police headquaI ters as
the terminus of all the police calls
There is an eight months limit on the
contract subject to strikes and other
possible delays of that kind. Colonel
Coffee feels no doubt of concluding his
work well within that limit so that the
landing of the cable will find Homo
lulu perfectly equipped in that branch

HAWAIIAN MARsHALsHIP.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-The
Senate spent some time during the exc
cutive session discussing the question
OF the proper committee reference OF
the nomination of Eugene r. Hendry
to be Marshal for the Territory of Ha-
wall The nomination at first was re-
ferred to the Committee on Porto Rico
and Pacific Islands. of which Senator
Foraker is chairman, but Senator Ba-
con raised the point that Hawaii is a
full-fledged territory of the United
States, and that therefore the nomlna-
tion should go to the Committee on
Territories. Senators Teller. Foraker,
Spooner and Bacon engaged in the con-
troversy which followed. and the ques-
tion was ultimately, upon the sugges-
tion of SpoOner, referred to the Commit
tee on Rules for the formulation of a
rule governing the subject, the reference
meanwhile being help up.

THE CHINESE
MANY EXCLUSION BILLS ARE
INTRODUCED,
Most Of Them More sYeepin~ in Their
Provisions Than the One about to
Expire-Their Scope

WARRINGTON, December 4-There
was a deluge Of Chinese exclusion bills
in the Senate today. Senators Lodge.
Stewart, Fairbanks, Mitchell. Quay
and Penrose introduced bills, all look
ing toward complete exclusion Lodge s
bill is very brief. 1t simply removes
the ten-year limit from the present law
The bill is as follows:
Ihat so much Of section l of the act
OF Congress approved May 5, 1892 as
amended by the act of Congress ap-
proved November 3, 1893, to prevent the
coming of Chinese persons into the
United States as limits the exclusion
or chinese persons to ten years from
the passage of the act of May 5, 1892
Is hereby repealed.
Mitchelrs bill Is most sweeping. 1t
provides for the exclusion of Chinese
Japanese and Fillpinos and their de-
scenddnts. The Californfans have de-
ferred action until after Fridays con-
ference when a bill framed by Com
missioner-General PowderIy's staff and
expected to be indorsed by the entire
Pacihc slope delegation. will be intro
duced in Senate and House.
While Senator Lodges bill is salts
factory so far as it goes there is "A
general feeling that more thorough ac-
ton should be taken strengthening the
present laws and more clearly defining
the duties of exclusion officials There
is no talk on exclusion, It being con-
sidered one of the absolute certainties.
No Eastern man has thus far had the
temerity to raise his voice very loudly.
If at all, in the face Of the food Of petit
tons from all over the country
WASHINGTON, December 5.-The
Chinese exclusion bill in preparation
by officials of the Bureau of Immigra-
tion was completed tonight 1t is the
result of suggestions from the Pacific
Coast Congressman, particularly Kahn.
and embodies provisions suggested by
experience in enforcing the present
laws. This bill will be endorsed tomor-
row morning at a conference of the Pa
cifc slope delegation. 1t is thought
probable that Senator Perkins will in
troduce the bin in the Senate and Kahn
in the House.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 5.-The
san Francisco Call claims that a poll
of the Senate and House on the Chinese
exclusion question shows that such a
bill viii have 239 votes in the House
out of a total of 357, and Sc i'm the
Senate out of 90.

WISCONSIN DEPARTS
BIG BATTLEsHIP LEAVES QUITE
ABRUPTLY
Tired OF Quarantine-Captain Reiter
and the STAFF Lose Their Christmas
Presents.

The battleship Wisconsin left unex-
pectedly yesterday morning and is by
now well on her way to Acapulco.
The departure was a surprise TO the
water front as from what had been
said by Captain Reiter, the big war
machine was not 20 have left until
after the arrival Of the Sierra. Her
deck load Of bag coal had been ready
for some time and was taken aboard
yesterday morning.
Admiral Casey and his staff had dis
appointed the dancers at the Hawaiian
hotel the night before by failing to put
in an appearance but final good-byes
had not been said and few anticipated
that the Wisconsin would leave so alb
ruptly.
Several Christmas presents and SOU
venirs for the officers were sent TO the
Naval station by noon yesterday only
to find the Wisconsin half way between
Diamond and KOkO Head. An effort
was made by the naval station at
tachees to send out the Fearless and
catch up with the battleship. tossing
the gifts aboard; but Captain Brokaw
was up town and by the time arrange
ments could have been made the Wis
consin would have been well over tow
ard MolCkai.
The belated presents are reposlng on
Captain Merry's desk and from the ap-
pearance Of certain Of the packages
Captain Reiter is shy some Hawaiian
pillows for his cabin; aside from the
mementOes intended for the rest OF the
staff.
The reason for the sudden getting up
and out is supposed 10 be Admiral
Caseys dislike Of keeping the men in
quarantine and being in the tantaliZing
position Of having the ship lying off the
port with all annOyances Of transpOr-
tatiOn consequent on quarantine regu-
lations. Had il not been for this nee
essity the big ship would have docked
readily enough.
Captain Reiter affected TO prefer his
position outside the harbor, affirming
that they were delivered from the heat
and the mosquitoes, two blessings that
went far to make up for other annoy
ances. The Wisconsin will get in in
plenty of time for the jackies to enjoy
their Christmas ashore. those that can
obtain leave.

While Looking for Something Els,
This Morning

While hunting for disease germs this
morning on the barkentine Encore, Dr.
Wilson of the United States Marine
hospital service, experienced a sensa-
ton which he will not forget. In fact
he probably feared for moment that
he had been attacked by the king pin
germ of the lot
He had the crew of the barkentine
Encore lined up on the decks, prepara-
tory to examining them for any evil
dences Of possible sickness. In some
unaccOuntable manner, a bee had lOdg-
ed in the garments OF one of the sail
ors and when the doctor started to ex-
anime that sailor. the bee was disturb
ed and promptly resented the intrusion
by singing the doctor in the finger.
Wilson discontinued the examination,
10 treat the painful sting in his hand.
Say" he exclaimed 10 the sailor, "do
you carry a beehive in your pants?"
After the pain had subsided, and DR.
Wilson started TO continue his eXamin-
alton Of the balance Of the crew, the
sailor who had been the abode of the
bee, asked If the doctor had finished
with him.

Bob Williams and Edgar Williams,
the two colored men who were arrested
for attempted burglary, were arraigned
before Judge Wilcox this morning on
charges of burglary I'm the first degree.
Both of them were informed that it
would not be necessary for them to

guilty As soon as they had done 50,
Judge Wilcox ordered both committed
to the circuit court for trial, bail being
fixed at $500 in each case.
That is ALL" remarked his honor,

The argument for the defense in the
case of the United States against the
Bishop estate began this morning, in

quets at the federal government as a

There is no question as to the gov

priety of the condemnation" said Kin
ney. I'VE have admitted the object,

We do not know what the government

partment of our government knows its
business and when 1T asserts under the
oath Of "A responsible officer tnat it

pute the assertion.
I'VE have no desire to belittle the
purpose for which the government
seeks to get this land. The present in

when the naval station which is to be
established will save not only the prop
erty but the lives as well of the people
Of this Territory We all hope To see
Honolulu, situated as it Is in the mid
Pacific. a great mast of commerce, an
outpost guard of the trade of the Unit

fleets. As such it will be of benefit to
the whole country.
Whatever expense there is, there, in
establishing the naval station should
be borne by the treasury of the United
States. not by the people of this Ter
ritory nor by these defendants. The
United States government is a great
government and a fair one, and it does
not want ANYTHING from its citizens for
nothing. So careful We're the OrganiZ-
ers of the government on this point,
that they declared in the constitution
that no private property should ever be
taken for public without just compen-
sation' to the owners"
