THAT DANISH DEAL
Special Committee of the House
Says There is No Sem
bIance of Bribery
IN MATTER INVOLVING CHRISTMAS
And the Sale of More West India
Islands to the United
States.

Washington, July chairman Dan
Zell. of the special committee of the
house which investigated the charges
in connection with the purchase of
the Danish West India islands. yester-
day submitted the report of that com
nlittee. After detailing the charges of
bribery. and showing that Captain
Christmas had repudiutru the alleged
report on which the charges were
based, the committee sums up the re
suit of its investigation as follows:
That there is not the slightest sem
blanCe of evidence that any member
of congress, either directly or indi-
rectly, WAS offered or received any
bribe. or was paid any valuable con-
Sideration of any character to vote for
or assist in procuring the proposal,
adoption or ratification of Il treaty of
the Danish West Indian islands to the
United States.
No Ground for Charge.
There Is not the remoteSt ground
from which to draw an Inference or
on which 20 base Il conclusion that
there was any corruption or wrong
doing on the part of the public Off
cialS of the United States in connection
with the negotiations for the purchase
and sale of the Danish West Indian
islands," The committee says that the
bribery alleged could have existed no
where save in the imagination of
Christmas.

JU2lES DRAWN
BY LOT SYSTEM

The first results of the Advertisers
long night for pure jury system were
seen In Judge Robinson's court yester-
day when the first juries drawn by lot
Were announced. The method of the
drawing was simple and fair Clerks
George Lucas and j. A. Thompson Of
the Circuit Court selected 100 names
from the list of electors, which were
then placed in a box and shaken up
One of the clerks placed his hand in
the box, the interior of which he could
not see, and drew out slips bearing
names, which We're recorded by the
other clerk. In this way the eighteen
names for the grand jury. and the
eighteen for the trial jury were chos-
en-.
The trial jury panel is exclusively for
Judge Robinson, and cannot be used
by another judge. Judge Robinson

term OF court, which opens on Monday
morning next. He becomes the presid-
ing judge for the term by virtue of a
new rule adopted in the Circuit Court
whereby the judges will take turns in
presiding.
Another rule is that each Judge will
draw and have his own jury instead
Of jurors being selected from a general
panel Under the old system forty
eight trial jurors would have been Sc
lected. The presiding judge drew for
his own jury and the other judges were
compelled to wait until he had finished
doing so, before they could secure a
jury from the remainder. The new sys-

DIRECTOR SMITH
HEARS or SiSAL

Upon his return from Hilo on Satur-
day Director Jared Smith Of the Expe-
riment Station found awaiting him a
letter from DIR. Dewey of the Botanical
Department at Washington, regarding
sisal and Manila hemp. DR. Dewey
states:
The Manila plant grows in the Phil
ippines on only IA Of the 14O islands of
that group. 1t thrives best in soils Of
volcanic origin on hilsides where there
is excellent natural drainage, but where
there Is considerable amount Of rain
rail-. In one section of the Island of
LuZon, however, | am told that IL grows
wen with an average annual rainfall of
less than so inches. 1T does not grow I'm
the swamps or low fiat lands, and
therefore does not compete with sugar
ana rice. Do you think there are areas
In the Hawaiian Islands that would be
promising for its production there?"
Dr. Dewey is considering an official
trip to the Bahamas and may send
samples Of sisal from there to Hawaii.
Mr.. Smith was delighted with a trip
ne made to the Volcano and was quite
impressed with the sight, although he
stated he preferred having his resi-
dence few hundred miles away from

at Council Bluffs, Iowa, and attended
the Griswold Theological Seminary. In
June, 1882 he was ordained priest at
Davenport. Ia, and a week later he
was married at Council Bluffs. He ac-

for several reasons. two of which were

known, but it is believed that he will
accept. He will have jurisdiction over
the Hawaiian Islands. where there are
four or five congregations outside OF
Honolulu. The twentieth anniversary
of his ordination as a priest is so near
at hand that he would prefer that his
conservation as bishop on the same

self Ia make Whatever effort might be
necessary Ia bring about the change
and the spirit OF the resolution was
carried out in the service Of transfer
ence held at the Cathedral at Homo
lulu on Sprii l. II was understood that
Bishop Nichols would remain al Homo
lulu untii the new appointee reaches his
station, but h is the desire of Rev.
Restarick {" see Bishop Nichols and 10
have him present at the consecra lion
services which, II the wishes OF Rev.
Restsrick are consulted, will be held
here in June next.
When ordained a priest neither he
nor his friends believed that his life in
the ministry on earth would be long
but he came 60 San Diego and here he
has remained ever since. He left Coun-
ell Bluffs soon after his ma rriage, and
started for San Diego. Then IL took
about eight days to come through, and
he arrived by the first train coming
into the city of San Diego That was
on the 18Th Of July. 1882, and he
preached his first sermon to St Pauls
congregation on the 18th of the month
Mrs. Restarick did not join him until
several months later.
From the day of Mr.. RESEARCHES ar
rival the church has grown until St
Paurs congregation is one of the
largest in the city. besides which there
are number of mission churches. two
or three OF them inside the city. Mr.
Restarick has been hard worker, and
has but recently been able to conse-
crate the church building in which
services are now being held, and which
was built during his charge of the par
ish. He has wanted n new Sunday
school room and guild hall, but other

set before himself to accomplish, and
If he leaves his present work, as he
probably Will, he will leave II free of

The Rev II. Il. Restarck has been
honored in the old diocese of Califor-

WILD
GOOSE CHASE

The L. S. gunboat Wheeling. which
arrived off port on Monday night, en-
tered the harbor yesterday morning
and went to Navy wharf No. 2.
The Wheeling is eighteen days out
from San Diego, but five days of this
time was put In in making soundings
for the mysterious De Greaves island.
No trace of rock or reef was found in
the latitude and longitude indicated by
mariners who had reported on the mat
ter, and the lead never went down less
than 227s fathoms.
Some very rough weather was met
with on the trip and at times as little
as three knots an hour was made. on
April 20, Hamana, a Japanese cook,
succumbed to heart failure and was
buried at sea.
The master of the Wheeling, which
Is of 1000 tons register, is Commander

HENRY b. REsTARTCK
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.

The san Diego Unions article, which
may be read with the above amend
ments, is as follows:
Rev. ii. h. Restarick, rector of St
Pauls church, dean of southern call.
tornia, and archdeacon of San Diego
county, was yesterday elected bishop Of
Honolulu by the house of bishops 81
present in session in Cincinnati. The
news came somewhat as a surprise To
Rev. Restarick and as an entire sur
prise to his many friends inside and
outside of the church over which h,
presides as rector. He had some slight
intimation OF his possible selection and
furthermore he has become somewhat
used 80 having his name connected
with she possible advancement to the
robes of the bishop
The station at Honolulu was. how
ever. never in his thoughts lie had
received a better only day before
telling him that in all probability he
would be elected bishop and that as
the diocese of Kansas was to be di-
vided he might be- Assigned to that sta
ton under the name Of bishop of ST.
lena.. 1t was not with particular pleas,
ure that hs contemplated chat change.
for AZ he had declined tc accept the
btshopric or North Dakota on account
Of his own ana Mrs. RESEARCHES health
m did nT. think that Western Kansas
would be much better than North Da-
kota
He knew that there wer" four bish-
ops to elect and he knew also that the
1itle of bishop of Honolulu would suit
nun better than any of the others.
Nevertheless he was surprised to learn
Z hot h..
on the FIRST ballot without opposition
IN a house composed Of fifty bishops.
II is certainly an honor anu doubly so
when II comes as does this honor to
Mr.. Re-aarick.
The position Is a new one as far as
the American Episcopal church is con-
cerned, for the Jurisdiction over the
church in the Hawaiian Islands was
transferred only two weeks ago last
Tuesday from the Archbishop of Can
ierbury. of the English church. to
Thomas March Clarke, the senior
bishop Of the Episcopal church of
America, The former being represented
by his appointed bishop, Alfred Willis,
and the latter by william Ford Mich
OILS bishop of California, who was
named by the senior bishop to repre-
sent him al Honolulu until such time
as a new appointment should be made
by the house OF bishops.
The transfer of authority from the
English TO the American branch of the
church was brought about because of
the annexation OF Hawaii to the United
states and of the general desire of the
people OF the church on the Islands to
be brought under the American 1uris-
diction. The diocesan synod of the An
glican church Of Hawaii passed a res
olution in November, 1899, pledging IT.
