Old WHAlH PROGRESS
CAREER HAS ENDED

Chicago, Feb. 26.-After years of
rough service, the bark Progress, hGilt
for the whaling trade, met an ingloH-
Gus end last evening m the South Chi
cako fartor.
Since the Worlds Fair, when the
Progress rode the waters of the outer
lagoon equipped as a model whaler, the
ship has been moored in the South
Chicago harbor. Some unknown per-
son set fire to the vessel and she burn.
ed to the waters edge, no attempt be-
ing made to extinguish the fire.
The remnant OF the old whaler will
be blown to pieces by dynamite, as
the fire left enough of the wreck to
prove menace to navigation.
The Progress. when in the whaling
industry, was famed as a lucky ship.
She was built in Westerly, X. l., in
1913, and was christened the William
Phelps, being owned under that name
| by Charles p. Phelps until 1861, when
she was sold to the United States Gov
eminent for storeship. AS such the
Progress continued until the close Of
the Civil War. The vessel was sold by
! the Government at auction, in 1865,
and became the property of William o
Brownell, New Bedford. Afterward
she was rebuilt and christened Prog.
ress. She was fitted for the Arctic at q
cost Of $4,000, vessel and outfit, and
placed in command OF Captain James
Dowden. The Progress was the last
survivor Of the five vessels which In
1871, at the time of the memorable
disaster to the feet, brought down the
1900 survivors. In 1876 the ship be-
came the property of l.. II. Bartlett q
Sons, who paid for her $4,000. They
remained her owners until she was
sold to Henry L. Weaver and other
Chicago parties for exhibition at the
Worlds Fair. The Bartletts sent the
Progress to the Arctic while they own
ed her and on one voyage she earned
100000, returning a net profit OF $50,
900.

ONE WORD WAS ENOUGH

In the District OF Kau recently,

In a great hurry, was not made very
happy when he found that couple OF
Japanese had possession of the line
He waited for quite a long time and
then went to the telephone again. The
men were still talking and so another
wait was INDUCED in. When the man
in question went to the telephone once
more, he was bound he would do some-
thing to get the fellows of. AS 1t
happened, there was with him at the
time, a young man who understands
somewhat of the japanese language
and he volunteered to do what he
could.
Taking down the receiver, the young
man listened for little and finding
that the japanese were still talking,
said Just one word which, It is said,
will make the meekest of the subjects
OF the Mikado froth at tho '-2uth and
do all kinds OF desperate things. There
was silence for short period and
then the Japanese got In their work,
Every japanese along the line was
called up to find II any of them had

busy answering the frantic appeals Of
the men to tell them the name Of the
fellow who said that one word. 1t il
understood that strenuous efforts are
still being made to find him.

MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL

Assistant District Attorney Dunha
yesterday filed motion for a new trial
in the case of the United States vs. the
Honolulu Plantation Company. The
motion is to be presented before Judge
Estee next Wednesday.
In the assignment of errors II Is
stated that the evidence is wholly in.
sufficient to justify the verdict, in that
there is no evidence to support the
finding that the market value of the
leasehold interest is of the sum Of
$4,000, or any sum in excess of $751;
600. In support of this is te,ached an
affidavit showing the Judgment of the
court after the first trial to have been
$4,000 in full for all damages Of every
kind. For the same reason 1t is al
legged that there was no evidence 10
Justify the finding of the jury of Gam
ages in the amount of SS523.
1t is further alleged that the valua-
ton of the jury was a mem specula-
tive one, and that jury gave undue and
excessive weight to the expert tcsti.
mony introduced by said defendant.
The plaintiff alleges that the court
erred in allowing the testimony rela.
tive to the mill upon the plantation,
and in allowing some of the questions
asked by defendant Of the experts.
Mr.. Dunno also sets out the fact OF
the first trial, the subsequent order OF
Judge Estee in granting a new trial
upon the refusal of the defendant tC
accept cut to $4,000, the amount
fixed by the court. He says further
that the evidence in the two cases was
substantially the same; that but few
additional witnesses were called, and
upon the same pleadings and the same
state OF facts, the verdict should not
have been above the sum of $4,000 the
judgment in the first trial.

FROGS ON AN ISLAND
RAIN LANDS HUNDREDS
NEAR The LIGHTHOUSE
BatrachianS Have Been Disappearing
Due TO Strenuous Efforts
Of Young Brothers
and the Cat

Ever since the flood of Tuesday,
when Nuuanu stream overhowed its
banks and swept in a raging torrent
down to the harbor, the little island
near the lighthouse on which the
Young brothers have their home, has
been infested with hundreds and hun.
dreds of frogs.
The frolicsome and pestlferous

ately following the flood swarmed Oh

One of the brothers, hearing the
peculiar noise, as of a host of auto

vestigation.
No sooner had he opened the door

and slippery contact with a couple OF
big specimens OF the frog family. The
brother said something appropriate to
the occasion and called the rest Of the
brothers.
The dawn was just breaking and the

uncountable frogs.
What are they?" asked one of tho
fraternity.

coverer of their noisome presence.
when came they?" was the next
question, as the speaker put on a
heavy pair of top boots, not caring to
squash promiscuous frogs in his trip
out on the verenda.
81 suppose they were washed down
by the food yesterday" was the logical
reply.
Just then, the frogs seemed incliried
to enter in at the open door, the pei
cat of the Young brothers sailed In

frogs in her jaws. The versatile felin'
