.BROKE ALL RECORDS WILL REFUND DUTY
MANILA CIGARS CAN ENTER
FREE.
Local Dealers Have claims for Nearly
Protest-Supreme Court Ruling.

one man in Honolulu was very happy
last night when the news came OF the
decision Of the United states Supreme
Court in the matter of tariffs on goods
from the Philippines. He is II. j.
Johnson, custom house broker with
Kinds Rolph and company, who has
made protests in behalf Of importers
on payments Of duty amounting TO SlS.-
s92.46. All OF this sum that has been
paid Will now be refunded, as the Su-
preme Court held that the Philippines
are domestic territory as far as tarifL
matters are concerned.
IL is said that there about 400. 900
Manila cigars now here in bond wait
ing for this decision. These will now
come on the market.
Honolulu will have the cheap Manila
cigar again, under the new decision
unless Congress takes action to change
the state of affairs. Manila cigars can
come in here now as freely as they did
before annexation, when FIVE cents or
less was enough TO buy a good cigar.
Local stocks Of Manila cigars are not
large. Those who have the cigars on
hand will probably lose on them, i'm
comparison with what they expected.
as the cigars are certain to drop in
price.
When the organic act went into effect
there were large stocks OF Manila
cumulated stock in anticipation Of the
duplication Of American tariffs between
here and the Philippines. but in the
months that have passed since then
most Of the stock has been used up.
It is thought by some that Congress
will promptly take action to shut out
the cigars from Manila, as a means OF
protecting the American tobacco indus
| try. The Philippines produce an i'm
mense quantity of tobacco and cigar
making is one of the industries Of the
/ islands. With tariff barriers down.
Manila cigars will cut a big hole i'm the
business of American manufacturer
! The money which the government
must pay back, under the ruling just
made. will be clear profit to those who
receive it. They have sold the Ma
nila cigars at a price which provided
for a profit above the tariff. The
smokers have really paid the tariff and
now the dealers will get it back.
| When the tariff first went into effect
broker Johnson declared 1t Illegal and
advised all his clients to protest Events
have showed that he called the Su-
| preme Court decision.

SPLENDID RUN OF THE soNONA
FROM COLONIES.
She Covered 3s4 Miles on One Day.
Lowered All Records From Sydney
to This Port.

With every record hanging to her
belt the Sonoma arrived of port this
morning at o'clock after making the
quickest trip from Sydney TO this port
that has ever been made. In fact, she
established new records for the through
trip as well for the intermediate runs
between ports. The Hteaming time OF
the veps'' Tween Sydney and this
port Was Is nuys is hours and 81 min
utes and her actual time IA days IL
hours and 80 minutes.
The vessel left Sydney November 26.
and made Auckland in 3 days ~ hours
and So minutes From Auckland to
Pago Pago, the vessel covered the dis
tance in 4 days 2 hours and as minutes
and from Pago Pago to Honolulu in 6
days hours and 10 minutes. Her best
daily run was 1884 miles. She averaged
about 1872 knots. BY making this quick
passage, the vessel has lowered the best
previous records. which had been made
between those ports and which she es-
tablished on her first trip. She cut
down her own record which was the
best ever made, by hours and II min
utes. She will probably not lower any
records between here and San Francis
co as she is scheduled to arrive there
next Monday morning. Chief Engineer
Little is delighted with the splendid
showing made by the vessel.
Strong winds and rough seas We're
experienced between Sydney and Auck-
land, but the balance of the trip was
characterized by fine weather.
Commander and Mrs. B. F. Tilley are
returning from Pago Pago, where he
was recently acquitted on all the vari-
Gus charges.
The remains Of United States Consul
/ Osborn are aboard the vessel. The So
noma left for San Francisco at 1 O'Clock
| this afternoon.

NEW SCOW LAUNCHED

The new steam scow belonging to
Hackfeld and Company, the Issuance
of a license for which has been the
cause of much controversy in the past
a.,R possibly the future between that
firm and Collector Stackable, slid OF
the creased ways into the water first
thing this morning. The launch was
entirely satisfactory and the iron hull
now lies off the Naval wharf No. 2
where she will be fitted with the finish
ing touches.
The point at issue in the granting Of a
license to a vessel that has been manu-
factured i'm Germany and is fitted with
a foreign boiler. Collector Stackaole
claims, quoting from authorities in de-
cisions already ruled, that the scow Is
conclusively a German vessel and not
German iron, which may be worked into
a vessel and duly licensed to ply IN
American waters providing the origina
duty has been paid.
The rulings shown by Mr. StackablC
state that foreign built vessels may moi
be documented and that the ordinary
fitting together of parts does not con
stitute building a vessel
Collector Stackable states that he ha.
received instructions from Washington
to allow the scow to carry on the bust
ness of lightering until such time az

TILLEY GOES HOME.
LATE GOVERNOR OF TUTUILA ON
THE sONOMA.
The $500, 900 Court Martial Has Not
Affected His Health-Returns With
Mrs. Tilley.

Commander b. +. Tilley late COVER
nor of Tutuila who was recently COM
pletely exonerated by a court martial
from charges of behavior incompatible
with the dignity of an American COVER
nor brought against him by certain
missionaries at PagO Pago is with his
wife, through passenger on board the
Sonoma.
Despite the trying experience of hav-
ing been the center of charges calcu-
lated to dishonor his career IL proven
and the trial which cost the govern
ment in the neighborhood of 100000
Commander Tilley shows few signs Of
having passed through such an ordeal.
He does not care to discuss the mat
ter which has been fully exploited by
the return Of the Admirals and cap
tains comprising the court and is re-
turning home by leisurely route.
Commander Tilley is in excellent
health, thank you said Mrs. Tilley
this morning. I'VE are going through
on the Sonoma to San Francisco and
will take the Southern route to Wash
ington. / am sure that the Comman-
der has no idea of his ultimate destina-
tion, we are just going home"
Commander Tilley has as yet receiv-
ed no appointment or orders from
headquarters and is entirely ignorant
of what will be his next duties. There
will be cordial welcome awaiting him
in Washington from his comrades, who,
aside from the honor Of the service
having been are proved unimpaired,
are all glad at the outcome of the pro-
ceedings against their old friend and
comrade. Commander Tilley is very
popular with his naval associates.

RATHBURN GOES FREE
PBRJURY CHARGE FALLS TO THE
GROUND.
Judge Humphreys Holds That, Under
the Evidence, Dr. Carter Had No
Right to Shoot.

Judge Humphreys this morning in
structed the jury in the case of the
perjury charge against eX-judge Rath-
burn to bring in a verdict of not guilty,
on technical grounds. The court held
that the prosecution had not shown the
materiality of the statements sworn to
by the defendant and alleged to be
false.
Attorney Robertson moved to dis
charge the defendant on two grounds,
the first being that the prosecution had
failed to show that the Grand Jury be-
fore which the alleged false testimony
had been given was a regularly inn
panelled grand jury, or that there
was a quorum present, making the ses-
sion a regular one, at the time when
Rathburn testified. The other ground
was that the statements alleged to
have been untrue were not material in
the case that was before the jury.
The court held with Deputy Attorney
General Cathcart as to the regularity
of the grand jury proceedings, but
found that the statements of the de-
fendant under oath alleged to have
been false were not material.
When Rathburn testified before the
grand jury, DR.. Carter was under a
charge of assault with a weapon OBJ
viously and imminently dangerous to
life. The disputed testimony was as to
Wnetner halhDuin was on the carter
premises when he was shot by Carter
The grand jury held that he was and
it did not indict Carter because it held
that the shooting was justifiable.
incidentally Judge Humphreys had
to decide the question of whether ii
would have been murder if DR.. Carter
had killed Rathburn The judge held
that it would. 1t was not material in
the consideration Of the case against
Carter, the court held, whether Rath-
burn was on Carter's premises or not
when the shots were fired. Therefore
Rathburn's sworn statement that he
was not on the premises, even if false
could not be made the basis of a per-
jury charge.
There is no evidence in this case
that DR.. Carter was unfriendly with
the defendant Rathburn, or had warn.
ed him to keep away" said Judge
Humphreys, "and the mere fact tha
the defendant was or was not on tht
premises Of the DR.. Carter when tn,
shooting took place is immaterial. l DC
not believe that a man living in th'
country, whose place abuts on a public
road, has a right to shoot withou
warning when he sees a man trespass
ing on his grounds. 1t was therefor,
not material in the hearing of the cas-,
against DR.. Carter, whether Rathburi
was on his premises or not. 1t would
have been assault or murder if Rath
burn had been killed, in either event.
The jurors were called into court anC
instructed to render a verdict for tht
defendant, and Rathburn was dis
charged.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Mrs. Davis and two or three daugh-
ters had narrow escape from being
passengers on board the i'll fated ferry
boat San Rafael. Mrs. Davis, who is
the mother Of Mrs. Frank Richardson
of this city was with her daughters re-
turning home on the ferry Immediately
preceding the San Rafael and arrived
only just in time to get to the gate
before closing. Another delay occurred
through the tickets having been mis-
placed or lost. Fortunately the gate
man recognized the party as being
constant passengers and allowed them
to pass at the last instant. otherwise
they would perforce waited for the San
Rafael and run great chances of being
among the injured If not an addition
to the drowned.

High School Declamatory Contest.

Next week Thursday and Friday
evenings, in the Methodist church,
will occur the second annual declam-
atory contest of the high school,
Last years contest proved that there
is some fine talent along the orator
ical line in the high school, and the
contest this year promises to be fully
up to the high standard set by the one
year ago. AS there are fifteen con-
testants, it has been deemed best to
hold the contest in two parts, ten OF
the speakers appearing the first
night, and those who are given the
first four places in the first contest
appearing the second night with the
remaining five. The winners of the
second night will represent the school
in the league contest to be held in
Hudson, April 10. The first and Sec
ond in the league contest are to rep
resent the league in the district con-
test which will probably be held in
this city about the first of May, and
the winner of the district contest
goes to Madison to take part in the
state contest. The following are the
speakers in the local contest next
week with their subjects. For fur
