The Hawaiian gazette., 1902-11-18

For more than an hour yesterday
morning Prince Kuhio kalanianaole
and the three companions with whom
he started to make the sail from the
harbor to Pearl River, in his yacht the
Princess, battled for their lives in the
waves which swept over their heads
and threatened each moment to wash
them from the hull of the overturned
boat, TO which they clung. They were
without the bell buoy and within three
quarters of a mile of the battleship ore
gon, but II was not until they had been
observed from the Myrtle boat house,
and a launch sent to them, that they
were rescued from their perilous posi-
tlon.
The Princess is a staunch third-rater,
and nothing less than a heavy blow
makes the crew which sails the little
craft think for moment of reefing
down or running for the harbor. When
the trip was arranged for yesterday
morning there was nothing to suggest
that there was any danger for such a
boat and the four sailed out as gaily as
ever before they inaugurated a cruise.
Prince Kuhio arrived at o'clock Sun
day morning from Kauai, and after
breakfast and dressing at his home,
started for the harbor. This was about
1880 o'clock which would make 1t in the
neighborhood of 8 o'clock when the
craft had got out to the bell buoy.
The two young men who make the crew
were on hand when Prince Kuhio and
his friend Judge Mahaulu drove to the
boathouse. There was little time lost
I in getting the boat away and with the
Prince at the helm 1t stood out to sea.
The canvas was full and the crew was
keeping close watch for squalls as
the wind was gusty and the prospect
that there might be such a blow out
side that some reefing would have to
be done.
The little boat went off to the south
east when approaching the outside reef
and was half way between the spar
buoy and the ball ouoy when Prince
Cupid saw a squall coming down upon
them. He ordered the main sheet slack

ened and was himself getting ready to
bring the boat into the wind. when with
lightning rapidity. before anything
could be done to prevent It, the winds
hit the little boat and over 1t went
carrying every one of the men In the
craft with it. Luckily the crew was to
windward and all escaped being fouled
In the lines as the boat went broad
side into the sea.
As they were within three quarters Of
a mile of the Oregon. and they believed
there was a constant lookout on such
vessels of the navy, the mariners were
not much alarmed for their own safety.
They made themselves as secure as pos
sible on the topside of the sailer's hull
and clung there while each wave broke
over them and threatened to wash them
away. The minutes heightened. and
though their halloos might easily have
been heard on the battleship, the wind
setting in that direction, there was no
sign given that ony one on board had
seen the accident or noted the men
struggling in the water
A schooner was bound in and the doc
tors launch was alongside, but though
there was some evidence that the
boarding officers men had become cog
niZant of the disaster to the little boat,
that launch made no attempt to run
to the aid of the men In the water. 1t
was left for some young men on the
galleries of the Myrtle Boat house to
see, without glass, the accident and
the position of the sailors and to rush
an order to Young Brothers to send
their fastest launch to the rescue. This
| order was given in such time that the
schooner and attending launch were just
passing Young's Island when the little
boat went out to assist the castaways.
When the men We're reached they
were all in fair shape though they felt
the effects of the battering of the
waves and We're considerably exhausted
| by the strain upon them. They were
taken into the launch and a line passed
to the yacht and she was towed to her
anchorage off the club house. Last
evening all the members of the party
were in the best of shape.

KAUAIANS MAKE MERRY.
Republicans of Kauai, assisted By
their Home Rule friends, for the gath
ering at Lihue on Saturday for the
purpose of ratifying the election of the
men chosen at the last election, had a
merry time of it. There had been pre-
pared fine luau, but owing to the
rains II became necessary, at 8 o'clock
on the morning of the day, to take the
tables from the lawn and place them
in the Rice establishment, where there
We're provided places for 1000.
Prince Kuhio made the principal
speech. He told the PEOPLE that he had
been teaching them that they should
be Republicans for the good of the Ter
ritory. He had not promised what the
party would do, but II the people would
watch they would find that 1t would do
the right thing. He said 1t had been
charged that he was to be led by a
string If elected. He said If there was
any string leading hin it was one which
would take the people ahead toward
prosperity and progress. He was going
to work for such results all the time.
John Gandall and S. w. Wilcox spoke
in the same strain.

THE STRIKE ENDED.
Many of the Norfolk Strikers Petit
ton for Their Former Positions.

Norfolk, Va, March 29.--Ninety-
seven of the 162 striking ear men have
signed a petition to c. Brooks Johnston,
general manager of the Norfolk Rail-
way and Light Company asking that
they be r~einstated as per the report Of
the arbitration committee rendered
about two weeks ago.. This petition was
presented to Manager Johnston today
by the former arbitration committee.
In reply to the petition Mr.. Johnston
said he would accept the names OF the
ninety-seven men and place them back
to work as fast as vacancies occur,
they to be subject TO the rules and
regulations of the company.
This means the strike is practically
over. There are some dissatisfied ones
whom the company will not take back
under any circumstances and IL ten Of
them remain together they can mold
their charter and the labor boycott still
be in force. 1t is thought that within
a month the ninety-seven will be at
work again and matters be practically
as they were before the strike. BY this
arrangement the company has become
rid of a number of Objectionable 1nen.
The men who signed h petition VIII
accept the terms of the company.

ANOTHER VETO MESSAGE
Assuming Powers Not Del
egarcd to 1t.

Washington. March 2S.-President
Roosevelt today sent to the house a veto
of the bill for the relief of Emanuel
Klauser from the charge of desertion.
The president says this bill. like the
senate bill in case of Jas. ". Howell,
not only authorizes the president to
act. but also orders the secretary OF
wal to revoke and set aside the ORDER
approving the proceedings, findings ana
sentence of a general court-martlaL
and TO grant an honorable discharge.
1T appears to imply" said the presi-
dent. the possession by congress or the
power TO overrule and reverse by stat
ute a valid judgment. If it did not DO
that it was simply an exercise or the
p~ardoning power. 1t is questionable
whether n possesses either Oh
these powers; and when the bill directen
the secretary of war to revoke an oroer
congress in fact did the thing which
it ordered him to do"

DROWNED LAST NIGHT
DAN GRAHAM FELL HEADL0nG
FROM HILTON BRIDGE.
He Stumbled and Went Down into
the Dark Waters Below-An Eff
forts TO Rescue Him Were I'm Vain.

Last night ABOUT 1870 o'clock while
several colored laborers were coming
into the city from the Powers, Gibbs &
Cos fertilizer factory, Dan Graham
fell from the railroad bridge at Hilton
and was drowned in the North East
river. The men were walking across
the bridge and were on the draw which
has no sides, and as it was very dark,
Graham stumbled and fell headlong
into water about twenty feet deep.
The other men tried to assist him
and as he fell II Of them caught him
by the feet but could not hold on to
him. The man wasn't able to swim
owing to the weight OF his clothes. The
other men shouted down into the dark
waters below and told him to hold out
If he could. Some ran over to the
power house of the Clarendon Water
works Company and got a BOAT and
rowed out to look for him but nothing
was seen of him.
Graham was about % years Of age
and worked at the fertilizer factory.

Some Reasons Why the Young Men
OF Wilmington Should not Fail to
Hear Mr.. ID. A. Tompkins, addre..

less upon his WI ability to do so.
Second. In order TO succeed at this
time when the fttest survive. he has n
prepare we'll himself for the battle thar

London. March 29.-The tobacco war
here has created a degree OF national
interest far greaNr than that usually
associated with trade disputes. Aca-
demic organs, like The Spectator devote
many columns to a serious discussion OF
the results of such a wholesale disin-
~tegration of a British system by Amer
lean capital. The Spectator draws a
curious comparison OF the rival meth
DDS. English capitalists says this
with the greatest pluck: but American
capitalists Will actually sacrifice them
rather than be beaten. Such wars are
the enjoyment of their other wise rath-
er dull and ~overworked life. They will
feel d~isgraced IL they do not win, and
will stake their last dollar OF ex-
changes. which to them. are fields of
glory or humiliation. What else have
they to live for? Politics offer no ia
reer. They cannot found families, I'm
the English sense. and. as for luxury,
they enjoy it like the Roman mobiles.
while they have it. or do without IL In

These characteristics. the Spectator
says 'bode i'll for British trade and IL
p~rophesies an attempt to coerce the
retailer on the part OF the American
company. which is now brought up all
standing against British character" I'm
