MEMBERS OF SENATE
TO MEET IN CAUCUS
WEIGHTY MATTERS WILL OCCUPY
THEIR TIME-THIRTY APPLICA-
TIONS FOR ONE POSITION.

A caucus of the members of the SEN
ate which is to meet in special session
next Thursday and the members of the
Republican Territorial Central CONF
cittee will be held this evening at the
party headquarters. The subject for
discussion is the matter of appoint
ments to Territorial offices, and policy
will be decided upon in the matter of
making recommendations.
About thirty applications have been
received by the committee for the po-
sitions of janitor of the House, mes
senger of the House, etc, as well as
for similar positions in the Senate. The
applicants are mostly natives. The
committee will probably refuse to in
dicate any preferences but will make a
general recommendation, if any re-
commentator is made at all, endorsing
all the good Republicans" who apply,
and leaving the selection to be made
by those who have the appointing pow
er. The race for the janitorships pro-
misses to be a warm one, for there are
many men who think they did the
party enough service to entitle them to
the job of cleaning up the halls of
legislation.
In the matter of appointments of
Territorial officials the central commit
tee will talk over the candidates with
the members of the Senate. 1t is un-
derstood that the rule of the Central
committee is to endorse in a general
way all the applicants who are Repub-
licans, but they may be preferences
expressed ION the side.'' The results OF
the conference tonight will be indicated
to the governor and may have some eff
feet on his choice of men when the
senate meets.

WHO USE
SEWERS MUST PAY
SIGNERS OF CONTRACTS FAIL TO
KEEP THEIR AGREEMENTS.
SUITS WILL BE BROUGHT.

The matter of enforcing collections of
sewer charges was discussed in the
Executive Council meeting yesterday,
and it was decided that suits should
be brought by the Territory against
those who have contracts to pay for use
of the sewers and have failed to do so.
IN number of cases parties who made
Connections with the sewers signed con-
tracts with the government agreeing to
pay for Them and have since failed to
carry out the contract
The general question of the power OF
the public works department to charge
for the use of sewers is likely to be
brought up in connection with the
prospective suits. 1t is claimed by
some that there is no authority in law
for any charge by the government for
the use of the sewers, which were
built by the government with public
money.

IS Indicted
BY JURY
PARTIAL REPORT OF BODY IN
WHICH MISSING TREASURER is
FoU.yD TO BE AN EMBEzzLER-
TRUE BILL FOUND.

The Grand Jury reported thirty in
dictments to Judge De Bolt this morn
ing. William Harrison Wright, the ex-
Treasurer, who has skipped, is the only
man indicted SO far in connection with
the government embezzlements, as was
predicted in last Saturdays Star. The
jurors found a true bill against Wright
alleging that he had embezzled the sum
of $17 ,9499l. They reported fifteen mo
bills" but the case of James IL. Boyd
and b. II. Wright are not among them,
and the jurors are still wrestling with
the evidence in these cases.
After a short session this morning
the jurors appeared before Judge De
Bolt with their partial report. 1t was
heavy report for the Grand Jury has
been the hardest worked body of the
kind that has ever been known here
and thirty indictments were turned ov-
er to The judge. Thirteen of them were
in larceny cases and eight were for as
sault and battery. An indictment
against Nigel Jackson for arson and
the indictment of the Treasurer who
absconded were the two most interest
ing cases shown in the report
The report is signed by James Cor
don Spencer, who is the new foreman,
p. c. Jones and Ex-Governor Cleghorn
being both incapicitated by illness.
The indictment of William Harrison
Wright charges that on the 23rd of
September he being then and there
an officer of the Territory of Hawaii,
employed in the treasury of said Ter
riJory, to wit, as Treasurer of SAID
Territory of Hawaii, and being then
entrusted with and having possession,
control and custody by virtue of his
said Office Of Treas Surer, of a thing of
value. to wit, $l7, 949.91 of the lawful
money Of the United States of Ameri-
ca and the Territory of Hawaii, then
and there, feloniously did embezzle and
fraudulenty convert and dispose of to
his own use and benefit, without the
consent and against the will of the
said TerGtory of Hawaii, ,Atfe owner
thereof and entitled thereto" the said
sum of money.
In the case of Nigel Jackson the jury
charges that on October 80 he "wilful-
| ly, maliciously and felonlously did set
/ fire to, and burn the dwelling house of
10. b. riel, Mary l. Jackson, Henrietta
| c. Friel, Georgiana Macfarlane Friel,
Anabel Boiler, j. B. Watson and one
! Tobrina,' thereby committing the
crime of arson in the first degree.
Jackson is now in Jail under a warrant
for murder, on account of the same fa-
tai confiagration which the Grand Jury
declares him responsible for.

before he left in which what was to be
said to Senator Blackburn regarding
plans miscarried and plans yet to be
attempted for the fusion of the Demo-
cratic and Home Rule parties We're dis
cussed.
1T is not a pleasant trip" said Dele
gate Wilcox this morning, that of a
delegate returning for the remnant OF
his term of office. l expect to see Sen
ator Blackburn while | am away and
will explain to him how the plans for
fusion failed 20 be brought to a sue
cesful issue, The failure of our elee-
tton plans was mainly through lack of
money. l cannot tell you anything
about fusion plans between the Demo-
cratic and Home Rule parties in the
future as l have none completed. The
Home Rule party is not dead, however,
by long way.
Il shall do all in my power to aid
Mr. Pratt and other Hawaiian issues

to assist. l trust that this trip l shall
not be sick although the weather will
be trying of course. If l am well L

Asked If he intended to seek local
honors rather than attempt further
representation at Washington, the dele
gate smiled his bland, but enigmatical
smile and murmured, THAT we shall
have to see later. Goodbye, Aloha -

PEACOCK DEMURS
TO FORFEIT OF

w. c. Peacock has filed a de-
murrer in the United States Dis
trlct court to the suit brought
by United States Attorney Brec-
kons, to declare the schooner
Julia r. Whalen forfeited, on
account of Peacock having, il
was alleged, sworn falsely that
he was an American citizen
when he secured American re-
gtster for the vessel, just before
she left on her famous mission
to Marcus Island. Peacock's
attorneys are Fitch and Highton
Their demurrer states that the
complaint does not state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause of
action and is ambiguous in that
it does not state of what foreign
power Peacock was a citizen
when he swore that he was an
American citizen. The govern
ment in this case sues for the
schooner or her value, 81. 800, as
a forfeit.
