THE CASE LOOKS
QUESTIONABLE
COURT COMMENTS IN
SEVERE TERMS ON A BIG FEE
AWARDED TO GEORGE A. DAVIS.

The Supreme Court rendered its third
decision today in the Nobresa divorce
case, dismissing on technical grounds
an appeal against an allowance of q
fee of $1,000 to George A. Davis, by
Judge Gear, but at the same time inti-
mating that the award was a wrong
one, and severely criticizing the attor-
ney. The court, in an opinion by Chief
Justice Frear, says that there is much
that appears to be questionable" in
the case.
Mrs. Nobrega was first awarded $15,-
900 altmony by Judge Gear, and this
was reversed. Then Gear made it &c.,
600, with one-half for Davis, and the
higher court again interfered, making
the amount $4,000. Gear gave a decree
accordingly, but added on to it a pro-
vision that one thousand of it must be
paid to Davis as a fee. Mrs. Nobrega
employed Andrews and Andrade to op-
pose the fee.
During the argument Davis objected
to other counsel representing his cli-
Tent, and talked of professional ethics,
in answer to which the Supreme court
says:
The argument of professional eth
les is certainly strange one to come
from that side. 1t would more properly
come from the other side. The in
terest of counsel in this matter of his
fee is adverse to that of his client and
| yet he contends that he should be per-
| mitted to represent both himself and
! her, that is, both sides, and that she
should be denied all opportunity to as
| sert her rights until she has yielded
them all to her adversely and deprived
| herself of the possibility of receiving
any benefit that she might otherwise
| obtain by pursuing her remedy. Fur
! ther comment on this branch of the
case is unnecessary"
The court finds that the appeal must
be dismissed because divorce cases are
| only renewable on writ of error or ex-
| ceptions, and says:
1T is to be regretted that the case is
not properly before us, as there is so
much that would seem at first glance
to be questionable in the matter. Ex-
ceptions cannot now be taken and it is
too late to sue out a writ of error
! Whether the matter can be brought VI
| by any other method we need not now
undertake to say"

IS AGAIN AFTER
KWANG YU WEI
UPRISING IN KWANY-SI MADE
THE EXCUSE TO CAPTURE THE
CHINESE REFORMER.


The Sun Chung Kwock Bo, the news
paper organ fthe Chinese reformers,
received by the Nippon Maru advices
that a serious uprising was in progress
in Kwang-Si, the province west of the
province of Canton. The uprising was
due to the squeeze" of the Mandarins
under pretense of raising revenue to
pay the share due fro mthat province
to the indemnity imposed by the pow
ers for the Boxer injuries.
1t is stated that the Peking authors
ties had seized on the uprising as a
preteXt for seeking the capture of the
Chinese reformer, Kwang Yu Wei, and
had issued orders for his capture at
any cost. This order in turn was seiz-
ed on b ythe provincial authorities as
an excuse for their excesses in the
prosecution of the struggle to put down
the uprising and justification for the
atrocities they committed.
1t is stated as fact by his friends
that kwsng Yu Wei had no part in the
kwang-Si uprising, and that he is in
fact in British India at this time
Kwang Yu Wei is one of the two re-
formers for whose heads the Dowager
Empress offered 65 900 taels.
The drought in the province of Can
ton continues and this together with
the collection of taxes to pay the for
eign indemnity is causing great suffer-
ing among the poorer classes.

THE QULDNUNCS
PREDICT A
NEW DEAL
SubordinateS in the Three
Vacant Bureaus are Wond-
e1ing if They Will Still be
"Strong"

In view of the impending changes in
the department of Public Works and
the Treasury, there are many under Of
flee holders who are doing a los of wor-
rying about their jobs. The men who are
to be the heads of the departr1euss are
regarded as practically settled upon but
no one knows what changes the new
Cabinet" officers will want to make in
the personnel of their aides, and there
is where the cause for worry lies
In the public works department. es-
pecially, there are office holders who
are wondering whether they will be
drawing treasury warrants next month
as this department includes many other
small, half-separate departments, and
employs more assistants than any other
1t is said by those who claim to know
that it is not at all unlikely that the
public works department will have a
new assistant superintendent. Not
Withstanding MarstOn Campbell's ack-
nowledged effectiveness and the tho
rough system he has introduced into
his part of the department it is said
he is slated to be succeeded by. some
one else, though who, the wise men
have not yet announced. 1t is said
also that there will be new men in sew
eral of the sub-departments which Boyd
established and filled. In the head Of
flee also there are likely to be changes
when Cooper takes hold if he does take
hold as is expected or if Winston or
any other candidate should be the man.
In any event it is certain that a number
of changes will be made.
In the treasury department there are
also a number Of men on the anxious
seat. The position of Registrar is the
most important within the immediate
supervision Of the treasurer, but the tax
office is also under the treasury. 1t is
not thought that there will be any
change in the tax office, and nothing
can be known as to whether there will
be other changes until Kepokai's dis
position is known. assuming that he
will accept the position, but it is
thought Hapai will be succeeded by
someone else. 1t is known that some
Of Kepoikais friends have already be-
gun to lay wires for some of the posi-
tions, in the expectation that he would
accept.
In the auditors office there are not
many positions to be figured on, and
there is mo report of any prospective
changes there.
1t is expected that Kepoikai will be
with the governor as to the treasurer
ship. If matters are arranged in time.
the senate win meet and receive nomi-
nations from the executive and confirm
them at once. Then 1t will ADJOURN the
special session sine die, having pro-
vided the governor with new officials as
he requested, to meet again when the
whole legislature meets, in February.

The first tangible and visible sign of
the coming cable was shown this fore
noon when the contractors for laying
the land cable through the conduits al
ready prepared for them, started work
In the presence of many interested ci-
tizens who exchanged congratulations
on the speedy prospect of Hawaiian
territory becoming an actual part of
the United States by right of instant
communication.
The work was carried on expeditions
ly by the experts intrusted with the
duty and a Christmas cable seems a
possibility that can be counted upon
with reasonable security.
Heavy drays each carrying one of
the drums of land cable shipped here
from San Francisco drew up to the
Young building shortly before ten
o'clock this morning. Each drum was
carefully boarded over and contained
z640 feet of four ply lead covered, ca

wound on a metal frame hollow in the
core for the insertion of the shaft on
which it slowly turns as the cable is
pulled through the conduits. Standards
are erected on the dray to receive the
ends of the shaft.

THEY BARKED Up

WRONG SCENT AND HAVE
CALLED THEMSELVES OFF.

The Home Rulers have investigated
the resolutions which We're prepared
for them in the matter of the issuance

tcome TO the conclusion that there is
nothing in the proposition. The agita-
ton, it is stated, did not originate with
the Home Rulers, but yesterday after
noon they were expected to bring 1t up.
Further investigation showed that the
matter was one with which the Terri
tory has nothing to do, and that the
Secretary acted under Instructions and
authorizations from Washington.
The total sum collected for the cer-
tificates is a little over a thousand dol

born here came to me and wanted to
know if they could get certificates
showing that they were American citi-
zens. There was no provision for the
issuance of such certificates, and I
wrote to Washington for instructions
and was told that If 1 chose to issue
such certificates they would be reeog-
nized by all the departments of the
Federal government. There was no
Federal appropriation for the purpose

CANDLES
CREATED A
SENSATION
PAYS THE PREMIUM RE-
QUIRED TO SAIL UNDER
A FOREIGN FLAG.

Surprise almost amounting to a
sensation was reached this morning
when it became known that J. A..
McCandless sailed on the Nippon
Maru as a passenger when that
vessel left the dock at II o'clock
this morning. rSaaa
Rumors and possible explana-
tions of why Mr.. McCandless
should be so anxious to get away
as to be willing to pay $500 fine in
addition to the regular fare, were
rife on the streets this morning and
afternoon. Many plausibilities were
suggested, many concurring with
the suggestion that he had gone to
Washington after a plum from the
Presidential selection tree.
Later it became known that Mr..
McCandless is on the way to Seat
tie, near which city his father lives,
and where he and bis brothers have
considerable property interests.
The trip will be an expensive one
as vessels of foreign bottoms who
carry passengers between Ameri-
can ports have to pay fine Of
$500. This amount is payed by the
owners and intending passengers
whose urgency calls them away re-
imburse the owners, paying $275 in

CHANGES
MUSIC THAT DIDN'T
PLEASE THE INSANE
MAY THE INCURABLES

The people at the Insane Asy-
lum do not care for the music
of the Regina music box. So it
is to be tried on the inmates of
the Home for Incurables.
About three years ago Mrs.
Helen Wilder CTaft headed a
subscription for the purchase of
a music box for the entertain-
ment of the asylum inmates.
Somehow they didn't take to it,
it didn't seem to be their style.
so now it is proposed with the
consent of the asylum authori-
ties, to send the music box to
the Home for Incurables, if
. there is no objection on the part
of the subscribers to the fund
for it's purchase. If there is any
objection Mrs. Craft would like
to be notified of it at once, as
otherwise the change will be
made very soon.

1t is hard to believe. but 1t Is true.
When, in the middle OF August. I
pitched my ten on the easterly side of
the easterly range of the Ramapos, in
Rockland county, close to a mountain
stream, T did not know that just over
the range of these wild mountains de-
scendants of the Tory rangers of 1776
were yet to be found. I did not know
that the higher reaches of the noun
tains were tolerably full of rattlesnakes
of great size and beauty. did not
know that the wild dogs lived up there.
I only perceived that the hills were
beautiful, the air pure and invigorating
the woods practically unbroken, and the
streams clear and cold. perceived that
there were no swells' places anywhere
in the hills, and that the wood-ranger's
pasturage was unbroken. The people
whom l met were cordial, smiling, UNI
suspicious. I liked the Ramapos as the
result of only glance. and liked them
still better after a camping acquain-
lance of couple of weeks.
