NO ABSCONDERS
GET AWAY TODAY
DEPARTURE OF ALAMEDA WAS
TAME AFFAIR-NO REPETITION
OF WRIGHT'S ESCAPE.

Although the band was not present
to play the Alameda away, the Oceanic
wharf was crowded this morning with
people to see the vessel depart for San
Francisco The boat carried a fair siz-
ed list of passengers. There was an
unusual profusion of leis.
Nearly every one was on the watch
for some absconding person The as
sociation of Treasurer Wrights sensa-
tional escape on the last trip of the
Alameda was still fresh in the minds
of the crowd and half of them had a
lingering suspicion that somebody else
must be secreted aboard the vessel.
Such did not appear to be the case
however
( The customs officials took charge of
the gang way and superintended who
should have access to the vessel. This
action evidently did not please the
steamship officials, but what the GUS
toms officers said went.
/ Captain Clark, the port captain of
/ the Wilder S. S. Company was a pas
senger aboard the Alameda for San
/ Francisco. He will return in NoYem-
Der aboard the Kinau.
! Colonel Girard, who has been COM
mandant of the army port at Camp
Mckinley, was a passenger to the
| States. He was accompanied by his
three daughters. He has been assign
ed to other military duties.
George Hind went to the Coast.
j. f. Humburg, wife and Miss Hum
burg were passengers for San Fran
cisco.
c. Won Hamm went to the States on
the Alameda today.
L. e. Beebe, the local freight agent
Of the Globe Navigation Company
went to the Coast for his health. He
has been i'll for some months with ma
laria. He expects to return the early
part of December.
The Alameda sailed promptly at noon
today.

REPUBLICAN VICTORY
PREDICTED ON
KAUAI
HANALEI HOME RULE LEADERS
AFTER DELIBERATION FOLLOW
ING KUHIo's CAMPAIGN SPEECH
ES, ABJURE WILCOX.

A landslide to the Repubiiean6 Is pre-
dicted on Kauai. The following letter
has just been received from w, II. Rice
Jr., and John d. Willard by the Re-
publican Central Committee, dated Oc-
tober IA, 1902:
I'VE have had news today from Ha-
nalei that as a result of the Republican
campaign of Prince Kuhio and his party
there, and of other good work done in
that District, prominent Home Rulers
held a meeting at Hanalei last night, at
which they disavowed further affilia-
ton with the Home Rule party, and
came out strongly for the Republican
cause. We feel that this is not the re-
suit of hasty consideration, but the out
come of mature deliberation on the part
of those who took this decided step. 1t
was just a week yesterday since Prince
Kuhio and his campaign party held big
meetings in Hanalei, and this speedy
result is very gratifying and en-
couraging.
1T looks as though Kauai was going
to be a landslide for our whole ticket.
We have also heard that Home Rule
campaigners here, hearing this news
from Hanalei cancelled all other en-
gagements, and are Fastening to Ha-
nalei, to do what they can to save their
party in that district We feel that
the good work of Judge Kakina, Re-
publican Central Committeeman, has
had much to do with this wholesale
conversion to Republicanism.
Total registration here, after all de-
ductions, is 1041."

II do not think there is any party

their party ticket. There is party dis
affection on account of nominations in

Democrats on this island, but they are
mostly in hiding. 1 have received very
flattering assurances of support from

PORTABLE DIsINFECTOR.
New One Used For The First Time
Today.

The new portable disinfecting plant of
the Marine Hospital service was used
by the Board of Health today for the
first time in the disinfaction of house
hold and other goods at the corner of
Punchbowl and King streets. The
machine consists essentially of a four
wheeled truck on which is a fire box
and boiler. In addition there is a cast
iron chamber about ten feet long three
feet wide and four feet deep. Into
this chamber the materials to be dis
infected are placed on a sort of frame
that slides in and out. The chamber is
then closed, and either steam from the
boiler or dry heat from the fire box can
be turned into the chamber until a tenn
perature of about 200 degrees is reached
Being portable the machine can be
taken to any place where it may be
needed.

CLERKS GIVE BONDS.

By a new order of the judges of the
Circuit Court, all the court clerks are
required to give bond of 81, 800 TIE
clerks do not handle much money, the
costs of suits averaging about $3I so
perhaps being about all they handle.
However the recent defalCations in the
Public Works and Treasury Depart
ments has called attention to the sub
ject Of bonds and the judges consider
ed that all government employees who
handle public funds ought to give
bonds for the protection of all interest
ed in or entitled to the funds handled.

GOES BY NEXT VESSEL
To SENATOR
MITCHELL
HE URGED THAT 1T BE SENT AS
OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE
WHEN THE MATTER CAME BE-
FORE CONGRESS.

f. w Macfarlane, chairman of the
Fire Claims Commission is sending by
the America Maru three copies of the
typewriter transcript of all the evil
denCe taken in the particular fire claim
cases whic hthe Senatorial Commission
inquired into when it was here. The
transcripts are being sent to Senator
Mitchell, chairman of the Commission
at his home in Portland, Oregon.
There transcripts are being sent in
response to Senator Mitchells urgent
advice that they should be, and made
a part of the record of the commission,
so that they could be used in the report
of the commission. Senator Mitchell
very urgently cOunseled that this
should be done, saying it was absolute
ly essential, and that no difficulties in
the way of paying the expense of the
transcript should be allowed to stand
in the way.
The transcripts in these several cases.
amounts to 100000 words, and the type
writing cost about 500. They are be-
ling sent by registered mail, and the
postage and registry stamps cost $685.
They were insured agaist loss by fire
other disaster, to the amount of $780,
The question of securing the trans
cripts at all was one that presented a
good many obstacles. There was no
appropriation in the territorial funds
which could be drawn upon for it. Sem
ator Mitchell said the appropriation
made by Congress for the commission
had become so nearly exhausted that it
could not be drawn on for the amount.
The stenographers refused to do the
work unless the bill was guaranteed.
Finally it was decided to pay for it out
of the fund arising from the collection
of fees for issuing certificates OF
award. The right to charge this fee has
been contested i'm the courts, and is
there now pending a decision by the
supreme court. To use a part of this
fund would not leave quite enough to
repay the merchants for the money ad-
vanued TO complete the work OF the
commission. But in view of what Sem
ator Mitchell said about the absolute
necessity of having the transcript in the
hands of the commission and before
congress, it was decided to use the
necessary amount of these funds to
have the work done.
Thus, as Chairman Macfarlane says,
if it had not been for this charge for
certificates of award, there would have
been no fund from which money could
be used to get the transcript into the
| hands of the commission.
The particular cases which the COM
mission had before it and the evidence
in which has been transcribed, name of
claimant, amount claimed and amount
/ awarded are as follows:
