public auction. The sails were offered
from the vessel. No body seemed dts
posed to do any bidding and Henry

in for $3.50. The schooner was started
at 500 and then went by slow bids up
to $3.50, at which figure it was finally
knocked down to w Lishman who bid
the vessel i'm for the owners. The Ves-
sci and sails will be disposed of at pri-

AND LAND.
NICE LEGAL POINT OVER QUAR-
ANTINE ISLAND.
A Compromise Arranged by Which the
United States Takes the Whole of
the Island.

A compromise just approved by At
tOrney General Knox, in the matter of
the suit of George b. Mcclellan against
DR.. G.. COfer over the ownership of
Quarantine Island, opens the way for
some very important improvements,
both public and private at the Eva
end Of the harbnr. MCClellan's suit
was to eject the United States from
Quarantine Island. 1t turned upon a
very nice point OF law, wholly new to
all the attorneys concerned, and after
exhaustive Investigations both sides
came to the conclusion that the case
was a good one to compromise.
The question of title goes back to the
year 1910, when King kamehameha III
granted to William Sumner, an Eng
lishman, an extensive land grant, with
which went the title to KahOlaloa fish
cry. This fishery includes G47 acres Of
shallow water about Quarantine Island
the island being in the middle of the
fishery. The question for the courts
was whether the grant of the title to
the acreage of water passed a title to
the Island as well.
L BY the terms OF the compromise the
United States takes the whole of Quar-
antine Island and the water to dis
tance of 1,200 feet north of the island.
At this point, it is agreed, channel OF
600 feet wide may be dredged, taking
300 feet of government property and
SOC feet of the private property. rms
viii extend the harbOr makai and VIII
provide a lot of wharf room, for 1t is
understood to be the intention to fill
in the law water north of Quarantine
Island, making land of it, and adding
much valuable waterfrontage along
Iwilei shore. In the future wharVes
will probably be put in here, but by
the terms of the compromise there is
to be no landing within a distance OF
less than 1900 feet of Quarantine ISL
! ard.
The United States government will
proceed, when the money has been ap-
propriated, to raise Quarantine Island
by filing in. A large part of it is now
a swamp and is very unhealthtul. by
filling i'm it is thought the island can be
made a model quarantine station.
Buildings will be erected suitable for
quarantine purposes.
The compromise was arranged by
United States Attorney Breckons and
| DR.. Cofer. Breckons prepared lengthy
brief containing an exhaustive study
of Hawaiian land titles, in preparing
! the case for the United States Attorney
| General He concluded that the grant
of a fishery by Kamehameha III had
not passed title TO Quarantine I9Ioiiu'
but that the case was nevertheless one
which 1t would be well to settle out of
court If possible, and Attorney General
Knox agreed with this view. 1T is a
very pretty legal point" said Breck-
ons this morning, "and one on which
there are no decisions. While my study
of the question led me to the opinion
that the government could have upheld
it's title. / think the question is diff
cult and close one, and that it is a good
thing to have compromised the case
