Mr.. Murphy's Coming

A general meeting was held yester-
day afternoon at Murphy Hall, and
much business connected with the run

others, one to make arrangements for
the enlargement of the present hall. 1t
has been decided to enlarge the prem
Uses in order to give more room when
lectures and entertainments take place.
The partition separating 1t from the
next room is to be torn down, so as to
make one spacious hail out of the two.
A stage will be built on the makai end
of this hall, and two dining -rooms will
be built in the corners. This is done

II will not palliate your sunerings to
know that the sugar planter perishes
with you. You say we admit all you say
and now ask for the remedy. You all
know that if natures laws prevailed here
and Chinese who were worthy to como
here be allowed to come is the remedy.
How must this happy state to be brought
about? I am as firm in the belief that If
the great and glorious United States gov
eminent, on being informed of the con-
ditions here in Hawaii, is asked for the
necessary relief, will grant it, I am
that am alive. There is no doubt that
it is a great honor for Hawaii to be a
part of that great nation. One of the
rights retained by the people of the An
gIo-Saxon race is to petition the govern
ment for relief when exigencies require
it. I therefore urge you to petition Con-
gress for the enactment of law permit,
ting definite number of Chinese to
come to Hawaii The Supreme Court of
the United States has held that Congress
has the power to govern the territories
as 1t pleases. Therefore notwithstanding
the exclusion law It can relieve the dis
tress in Hawaii by granting permission
for, say 5000 Chinese laborers to come
here each year, 1t can do SO with a
limitation that said laborers shall return
at the end Of three years If such is
thought advisable. 1 should advise this
course of procedure, and should urge i'm
mediate action in preparing the petition.
In regard to the iniqutious exclusion
law as applied to the Chinese in the Unit
ed States, of which we now form a part,
should advise the memorializing of
Congress by a great petition to be signed
by every willing signer, requesting that
said law be allowed to terminate and
that for ten years it be not renewed
The present immigration laws of the
United States, before spoken of by me,
are quite adequate for this or any coun-
try.
Gentlemen. thank you for your atten
! ton

Honolulu Sept 2, 1901
Editor Advertiser-By the tone Of the
Honolulu press at present one would
be inclined to believe that the charges
against the officers OF American ships
were mere fabrications. In the Ha-
waiian Star of the 18th l saw an arti-
Gle protesting to give an account of the
way such charges were invented. This
article said sailors We're like sheep and
only needed some agent of the Sailors
Union to talk them over into prosecut-
ing officers of ships; and this article
was printed almost week after the
mates of the Sea King and st. James
had pleaded guilty. Now, when men
admit their guilt, I fail TO see where
any paper has a right to try to make
the public believe that they are fnno-
cent. The press has accused the Sail
ors' Union of being at the bottom of
these charges. Well, it would be no
disgrace to the union if it was, but we
sailors can assure the people of Homo
lulu that such is not the case. We
had decided to prosecute these officers
while we were thousands or miles from
Honolulu; none of the sailors DIT pres
ent in jail as witnesses have had any
communication with the Sailors Union
in Honolulu. We are not union men.
Very few deep water sailors are, ana
the Sailors Union has enough to do to
look after its own members. Why the
Star Says sailors are like sheep, 1 can
not make out, unless the editor is fond
of mutton and wants to f1atter the
sheep. Sheep may be all right In their
way, but 1 can't see that their history
shows the glorious record that the sons
of the sea have shown in the past, and
will do again in the future, while some
/ of the ink splashers will be at home

very thoughts of what their brothers
of the sea are enduring. Hoping that

In the building known as the "Lonja"

ish colonies in America-from the time
of their discovery until few years ago.
writes william f. Curtis In the Chi
cago Record Herald. There Is a mass
of papers, books and correspondence
which would fill a train of cars and 1t
is piled away upon the shelves without
much order or system. A few INDECENT
clerks are engaged In oyerhauling, ar
ranging and indexing the papers and
the Society Of the Americanlstes has
been granted permission to publish any
that have an important bearing upon
history. Every little while some inter-

published in the reports of that society.

suit of Superstition.
Paterson, n. j., has a ghost that Is
playing pranks In brick tenement on
Brook street, and as a consequence the
building Is vacant. All the tenents
have moved out because they say the
house is haunted by the ghost of Pietro
Pasquillo, who was murdered there
Easter Sunday evening last. The ghost
made his appearance two weeks ago.
One night Mrs. Pasquillo, the widow OF
the murdered man. ran screaming into
the rooms of neighbor saying that
she had just seen her husband. Two
night later all the faucets in the tene-
ment were found to be open and run
ming at o'clock. This occurred again
the next night and the tenants began
to tremble with fright and say that
perhaps Mrs. Pasquillo had really seen
ghost. 1t was impossible. 1t was
said, for anyone person to get into all
the rooms In the tenement to turn on
the faucets at that time In the even
ing. Two men living In the house saw
ghostly form fitting about the ball
ways of the house one evening. They
tried to locate 1t, but failed. Within
a week several of the families moved
out of the house. Then their rooms
were Illuminated in the evenings. The
rooms were locked and empty. This
was proof positive that the ghost of
the murdered man was haunting the
place. and all the remaining tenants got
other apartments in hurry. The ten
ement is empty and the signs ITO Let
are on every door. 1t Is said among
the Italians that the murdered man
wants to wash away the blood spilled
by his family. and that is the reason
the faucets are turned on every even
ing. Others say he has returned for re-
venge, but the only revenge he has got
so far Is on the landlord,

pickers for forenoon work and negotia-

if the picker deserts or Is discharged

YOUR WATCH.

In laying aside watch be sure that
II rests upon its case.
A watch should be wound Up every
day at the same hour.
Avoid putting II on a marble slab or
near anything excessively cold.
If suspended, the action of the bal
anee may cause oscillation, which will
interfere with its going.
A sudden change of temperature, con-
tracing the metal, may sometimes
cause the handspring to break.
The cold also coagulates the oil, and
the pivots and wheels work less freely
and affect the regularity of the time
keeping.
To keep your watch clean take care
that the case fits closely and see that
the watch pocket is kept free from
fun, which Is SO often given of by
Innings.
Avoid sudden Jars and falls, for even
IL 1t does not seem to affect 1t at the
moment, watch will resent rough
handling by becoming gradually "out
of order" without apparent cause.

MORE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT.
Nee Apportionmeut Act Adds Twenty
nine to Electoral College.

1t will take 10 more votes to elect
the next President than were required
at the last election of Mckinley. Under
the reapportionment act, which goes
into operation on March 4, 1903, the
membership of the House of Represent
atlves and the electoral college is In
creased to the extent of 20. There were
447 members in the electoral college
which chose President Mckinley.
There will be 476 in the body which will
chose his successor in 1904 and this
number will be further Increased II
any Of the Territories should be ad'
mftted to Statehood in the interval.
The States of the North Atlantic sea
board gain nine votes In the electoral
college by this new allotment three
of which go to New York;, the IL ex-
slave States gain 10 and the Middle
West and the far West also gain 10.
AZ the States Increase and the cleo
toral college expands the chance for
the dominance of any particular State
grows less and less. New York was
"pivotaI" In 1874, 1S4s 1880, 1884 and
1888, but Cleveland In 1892 and Nc
Kinley In 1895 and 1900 would have
been elected II New York, which they
