THE THIRD CIRCUIT COURT
IS UNDER CONSIDERATION
Attorney General Knox Must Be Convinced
There is Real Necessity for Addition to.
the Island Judiciary.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-The
has Hawaii very much in his mind at
the present time. Not only is the Hum
phreys case before him, but the mat
ter of third judge for the Circuit
Court of Honolulu is being thought of
by him and his chief assistant.
The Humphreys case will not be de-
termined for some weeks. The men
interested in it are being heard and
the Department will come to it's con-
clusion some time in the future. This
time may be more or less delayed, ow-
ing to the fact that Mr.. Hankey, who
is here for the protestants against
Humphreys, has not received his brief
from Honolulu. Until that document
arrives there will be nothing done, as
much of the evidence which will SUBJ
stantiate the argument of the counsel
lies there. Mr.. Knox will not decide
the case until all this evidence is re-
ceived.

culiar, but what will be done in it cam

CAR
MAKES A RUN
Covers Four Blocks of the
Road, Moving With
Ease.

Without any formality a car of the
several blocks of the line yesterday
about noon. The intention had been
simply to run the car inside the barn
to see that the motors were in order
but once started everything worked sc
smoothly that it was decided to test
the hill-climbing powers. Accordingly
term royal blues. was taken up Alapa
and along Lunalilo street to the corner
of Kapfolani street. All that was ex.
pected had been accomplished and tbs
car was returned to the barn.
During the run there was not sin
gle accident of any kind and the out
fit seemed to work with the ease which
might be expected after weeks o1
smoothing down. The curves ant
switches were taken by the untrie6
wheels without a hitch, and the cal
mounted the hill along Lunalilo street
with as much ease as it moved along
the level ground. The brakes were
given test when the car was allowed
to speed down the hill again and was
stopped at the curve into Alapai street
with ease and precision. The car was
run by the superintendent, Manager
Ballentyne, Electrical Engineer Bark
ley and Col. J. H. Fisher being actively
engaged looking after details.
The running of the car attracted the
majority of the juvenile residents OF
Punchbowl, and they filled the car and
stood about it with open mouths. There
was a slight stoppage of traffic on the
tramway, for when the car appeared
down-bound, two cars, one on the
switch and the other approaching it
were kept on the track with difficulty
one team performing the evolutions
which We're prophesied by Yardley.

Had Forty Watches.

Two Cinnamon who were arrested
yesterday for fighting had in their pos
session ever forty watches believed to
have been stolen a few weeks ago from
Jap matchmaker at Eva. The Chi
namen, it appears, had been fighting
over the possession of the watches,
which caused their arrest. A search
of the room revealed lot of plunder,
including besides the watches pair of
gold cuff-buttons and other jewelry.
While 1t is not known positively that
the property was stolen the matter will
be investigated today. The Cinnamon
who are in custody give the names of
Yong Gun and All Sung.

STRONG TOOK
ALL HIS CASH
The Captain Drew the Re-
mainder of His Inher-
itance.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Since Thurs
day Captain Strong's friends in this
city have kept the telegraph wires
busy urging him to leave his compan-
ion and return to New York. The only
response Strong made was to demand
that $4,000 held here in trust for him
be sent him by telegraph. This was
done Tuesday afternoon.
The money represents the remainder
of the legacy of $4,000 left him by ms
grandfather in trust to his father, the
late Mayor Strong.
Before going to San Francisco young
Strong had drawn of this legacy sio,-
600. most of which was used in paying
debts. When he left he had between
SO, 900 and $1,000. AS far as young
Strongs future is concerned, IT is
learned that aside from the $4,000 tel
egraphed him on Tuesday, he has no
resources.
1t is assumed by his friends that he
will carry out his announced Intention
of settling in Japan.

Roots sudden reversal of policy In the
case of Putnam Bradlee Strong is now
known to have been due to orders from
the President Captain Strong's Tath-
er was the close personal friend OF the
President, and Mr.. Mckinley has al
ways had a high regard for the young
officer Many believe that the Secre-
tary's original action in the case was
the kindest that could have been tax
en- for it would have put barrier OF
months and the Pacific ocean between
the Captain and the woman who mas
proved his undoing. The President,
however, is understood to have taken
the opposite view, and, fearing further
scandal which might reach proportions
that would force the taking OF action
unfavorable to Captain Strong, ne IN
strueted the Secretary to comply with
the Captains wishes.

London, March 24.-The Speaker says
there are unIuIstakable signs OF more
trouble between the masters and the
operatives in the cotton trade A period
of activity has been followed by reac-
ton accelerated by the high prices OF raw
cotton and other materials, a poor de-
mand from India and an almost complete
stoppage of buying from China. The
Lancashire spinners and weavers have
held out longer than their rivals in the
United States or on the continent, but
the rapid closing down of the mills shows
their turn is coming, and as the Ameri-
can crop is likely to be insufficient even
for the reduced consumption, there is not
much prospect of low level quotations for
raw cotton to invigorate the demand for
yarns and cloth. If some agreement
whereby wages may be adjusted accord
ing to the state of trade is not soon con-
cluded declining profits will force the
masters to reduce wages.
