advantage of home-making is to be

Judge Humphreys was asked today
regarding reports that he intended to
resign his position in the circuit court.
He very emphatically denied that he
had any such intention and stated that
not only did he propose to serve out
his term. but that he might apply for
a second term when his present term
expired.
u have not authorized anyone to say
for me that l had any intention what
ever Of resigning," said the judge, 'and
there is no ground for the reports that
have any such intention. l do not in
tend to resign now, but on the contrary
intend to remain on the bench to the
end Of my term. l cannot imagine any
state of facts that would induce me to
resign, and it may be set down that l
shall not take such a step.

pointed" added the judge, but l shall

Into Dry Dock at Yokohama-How
the Accident Happened.

YOKOHAMA, November 9.-The
United States transport Warren reach
ed Kobe the morning of November Z,
after having struck a rock In the In
land Sea near Moji and narrowly es-
capped sinking. The accident occurred
about 9 o'clock on Sunday morning.
The vessel was steaming full speed at
the time, and of course in broad day
light The vessel had passed Moji an
hour or so before the accident occurr-
ed. When nearing the point styled
Isaki on the charts. on which there is
a lighthouse, Japanese vessel got in
the Warren's course and II was in
avoiding this vessel that the transport
struck a charted rock which is said to
be named "Fisherman's Rock" 1t ap-
pears that the japanese boat was
warned by the Warrens whistle TO
stand clear of the steamers course but
there was no reply to the warning and
the Warren attempted to pass round
the smaller vessel with the result
described. The engines were reversed
Immediately the vessel struck and she
backed off without much difficulty. She
was then found to be making water,
but on examination it proved that she
was not doing so seriously. In the
meantime, however, the vessels head
had been turned shorewards with the
idea of Bleaching her, as was done in
the case of the Morgan city which
struck a rock in the Inland Sea in a
somewhat similar way and was subse-
quently beached. The Warren, how
ever, is a double bottomed steamer and
the second bottom does not seem to
have been seriously damaged by the
impact on the rocks. AT amy rate, as it
was found that the vessel was not in
serious danger her head was again
turned and the voyage to Kobe con-
tinued at reduced speed. 1t has been
found that as many as twenty plates
have been ripped up and it is apparent
that had the vessel not had a second
bottom most serious saster would
have occurred as otherwise she would
certainly have sunk a very short time
after the accident. on the vessels ar
rival here the accident was duly re-
ported to the L. 5. Consulate, and
Capt. Cannon, who is in command,
along with his officers, have made
statements to S. 5. Lyon, L. S. Consul.

accident. The Warren will be taken

! looked over an empty drill shed, and
when Wilcox made his address it was
to the smallest political meeting Ho-
noluu has seen since annexation
The gathering was so small that the

smallness of the gathering means that

OAHU RAILWAY RENOvATING ITS
wHARVES.
VIII Make the Big Wharf Air Tight,
and Provide Bridge to the other.
The Plans.

Work was begun today by the oahu
Railway and Land Company to comply
with the suggestion Of DR.. Cofer, the
United states Quarantine officer, and
make their wharves rat proof.
1t win be some weeks before the en-
tire system of wharves will have been
put in the desired condition. At pres
ent, the first work is on the narrow
wharf on the mauka side. No attempt
will be made to make this wharf air
tight but, by means of cutting off the
wharf from the shore, it is figured that
the wharf can be kept clear Of the rats.
The idea is to cut about ten feet of
space away from the wharf close to
the shore line. Connection will be
made by heavy timbers on which will
be placed the track for the railroad.
Metal guards are to be put about the
timbers and in order to prevent rats
from crossing.
The work on the other wharf will be
more extensive however. The deck of
the covered wharf is of recent build
and can be readily made air tight by
caulking. From the deck, clear down
into the water will be placed walls
which are to be air tight making the
wharf underneath, so that sulphur can
ben pumped inside at any time, and
the fumes held sufficiently to sufiiocate
whatever rats may be inside. No at
tempt is to be made to render the shed
air tight
The work will be done according to
plans suggested by DR.. Cofer, and be
finished according to his approval. The
necessary lumber for the work on the
big wharf is being hauled now and the
work will begin in a few days.
As soon as the money is forth COM
ing the wharves on this side of the
harbor will be put in the proper condi-
tion also.

Elections, which should not be pleasant
as he in every probability, has the muir
der of his gentle eyed spouse upon his
soul, or rather horns.
Soon after the arrival of the pair a
hole was noticed in the side of the doe
who had apparently been gored by the
stag, probably on the voyage down
The poor little thing who would short
ly have become a mother, refused all
food and her beautiful eyes soon grew
dim. A veterinary surgeon was called
in but the cruel hole was discovered
to be several inches deep making a
mortal wound.
Meanwhile the stag seems callous of
the fate of his partner and continues
in good health and spirits. After all
there is a possibility that the wound
was caused by some accident on the
trip down. Mr.. Desky will send for
another mate for the widower, and
trusts that they will get along with
out further accident. Two does in all
will be brought down from Molokai as
soon as they can be obtained. The cou-
pie first brought were perfectly tame
and would feed out of the hand.
