TO PAY FIRE CLAIMS
OUTLOOK FOR AN APPROPRIA.
TION HOPEFUL.
Amendment May Be Tackled To Civil
Service Bill Covering Amount Needed
in Whole or Part.

w. o. Smith, who has just returned
from Washington is very hopeful Of
gaining an appropriation from Con-
gress with which to defray in whole or
in part the fire claims for losses during
the plague fire. If favorable reports
come from committees it will, it is
hoped, result in an amendment being
tackled on to the Civil Service bill for
at any rate a portion of the sum asked.
1T looks as if there was quite a pos
sibility of our securing the appropria-
ton" said Mr.. Smith this morning.
IF the committees report favorably,
which there seems a great likelihood
of their doing, an amendment will be
added to the Civil Service bill covering
in whole or in part the fire claims We
have had a good opportunity, with the
men who are now and who have been
in Washington to push this matter
and the committee on Porto Rico and
the Pacific Islands of which Mr.. Fora

THE TWINS ARE FREE WILL LET CONTRACTS
RELEASED FROM IMPRISONMENT
THIS MORNING.
Original Sentence Of Thirty Days Cut
Down to Twenty-Five Days by Good
Behavior Commutaion.

There was the biggest kind of a sur
prise party on the waterfront this
morning. The occasion was the uneX-
pected appearance of Turk and Lewis
from their enforced absence as guests
of Jailor Henry at Oahu Prison. The
pair were not expected until next
Thursday, as their thirty day sentence
would have expired at that time, but,
to their own delight and surprise, it
as discovered that they were entitled
to commutation of five days which re-
duced their sentence to twenty five
days
This pleasing news was conveyed to
the pair several days ago. Early TINS
morning, both of them were awake and
had their toilets made and were ready
and eager for the time when they
should be allowed out, to breathe the
air of freedom and the waterfront
Their wives had been notified OF the
hour of release, and were on hand with
carriages to convey them to their re
spective homes. So eager were the
shipping masters to get away, that
they declined Jailor Henry's invitation
to a farewell breakfast. The shipping
masters express the greatest grautude
to Jailor Henry for the considerate
treatment he showed them during
| their Incarceration.
! The pair had breakfast together, and
| then hied themselves without delay, TO
| their offices on Merchant street. The
IaDpearance of the pair was the cause
| for CONGRATULATIONS from their various
friends and associates.
We'll" said Lewis I'VE are mighty
clad to be out again after our little
! vacation. Instead of our business slip
ping away as we had feared, we ma
| that our wives succeeded very wen IN
holding it for us. OF course they couiu
not do so well as men, but they sue
ceeded mighty well and they deserve
the greatest praise for their work
The shipping masters were released sea
under the Commutatioh Act of 1873
passed by the United States wmch
holds that good behavior commutatlon
shall apply at the rate of five days TO
every thirty days of the sentence
The first crew which the pair expect
TO ship will be one for the ship Acme
which is loading sugar at the Railway,
wharf for New York. She does not san
until next week.
Lewis and Turk were sentenced 10
serve 30 days in Jail b9 Judge Estee- 'r
having boarded the American ship Ar
thur Sewall before she had been pass
ed by the customs officer. She was
from Hiogo, Japan.

WARDE : AS AN ELK
SOCIAL SESSION OF HONOLULU
LODGE.
The Actor a Witty Chairman and the
Herd" enjoys Pleasant Evening
With Him.

The Flks' social session with Frcder-
ick Warde as chairman last night was
voted by many the best evening Homo
lulu lodge has had since it's organlza-
ton, The actor showed himself as
apt a presiding officer as he is stage
player and never did a lodge of Elks
enjoy the wit and good humor of
better chairman.
EIIxs' hall was well filled when the
evenings program began with q selec-
ton by the Elks' orchestra. After the
music troubles began for some of the
herd" 1t appeared that many OF the
members of the order had offended in
some way or other, for few escaped the
imposition of fines. Warde was ready
for the occasion and there was no ap-
peal from his decision. Even Judge
Gear was without recourse and had to
stand up like a plain ordinary" citi-
zen, and take his medicine. Gear was
held to be guilty of putting the Ierrl-
tory to the expense of providing new
chairs of an extra large size for the
bench of the First Circuit Court ana
this called for the payment of 81 to
! Treasurer Roth. The judge paid more
promptly than many of the sentences
he imposes are carried into effect.
Aside from the pleasure of listening
to the chairman's ready tongue, there
was much enjoyment in the program
of the evening Herrick's guitar solo,
recitations by Charles d. Herman
Barry Johnstone and A. e. Murphy
solos by Herzer, Elston, w. II. Hoogs
and Livingston, a bit of comedy by
Cunha and Boyd, flute solo by kea-
lakai and Hawaiian songs by the IA
waiahao quartette, were all successful
! features of the evening.
/ TN-
! At II o'clock the hour when Elks
wherever they may be, devote a few
moments to thoughts of absent broth
ers. Warde gave an eloquent address
! fun of feeling. Later he closed the
evening program with recitation tha'
held the audience as only master
speaker and actor could have done
Their night with Warde will always
be- remembered with pleasure by Homo
lulu Elks, and they will never close an
evening session with a more heartfelt
singing of Aud Lang Syne," hand II
hand, than that with which they eX'
changed their general farewells at mid
night last night

BOATS SAFE
HESPER AND BENJAMIN SEWALl
ARRIVE.
Former Makes Freemantle May ., and
Latter Gets in Prior to May Both
Repaired Here.

News of the safe arrival of two YES
sells which had to put into this port in
distress last year came by the last
mail They were the bark Hesper ana
the ship Benjamin Sewan. Both vessels
were from Hastings Mill, b. G. and
were bound for Freemantle Australia,
and both had to come to Honolulu on
account of leaks.
The Sewall was the first of the pair
to come to Honolulu. She arrived here
December 2S, leaking badly and remain
ed until January 10, undergoing repairs.
The Hesper bore away from her
course on December "a and her captain
called the crew together and explained
to them that she was leaking badly and
the only chance of saving her was to
put into Honolulu. The crew readily
assented to this change of course and
| on December 81, the Hesper arrived at
| this port From that time until Fe-
| bruary II, she was being repaired. Div
| ers had to be secured for both vessels
/ and it was some time before the leaks
could be located. The Hesper did not
/ get to sea until February Is, as she
was weather bound here on account OF
! the strong sOutherly wind which was
prevailing from February IL until Fe-
| bruary Is.
In spite of the fact that the Hesper
! left here a month after the other vesse
| she almost beat the Sewall into Free
man. The Sewall arrived at the Aus
tralian port, prior to May and the Hes.
per reached Freemantle May 5.
Both vessels We're loaded with lum
Der. They will probably return witt
| coal.

GUILTY OF ROBBERY
TWO MORE CONVICTIONS BEFORE
ROBINSON.
Chinese and Japanese Defendants
positions Arrive By Mail.

Nishiyama and All Wa were found
guilty of robbery in the first degree
this morning before Judge Robinson.
They entered the home of a Japanese
woman on February 16 and held her up
for $50 at the point of pistol. j. o..
LightfOOt was appointed to defend All
Wa and 5. f. Chillingworth to defend
the Jap. BOt1 defendants took the
stand, but they told entirely different
stories of the robbery
The Chinese defendant stated that
the woman had made Nichiyama a
present of the $40. 1t appeared from
the story of the Chinese that the Wo-
man insisted upon the Jap taking
twenty dollars away when he left. Her
generosity was appreciated, and the
money was divided. Nishiyama, how
ever. said that All Wa had used pis-
tol while the Chinese denied that there
had been any weapon shown at all. The
Jury were only out long enough to take
a vote Judge Robinson ordered the
defendants to appear for trial on Mon
day.
The last mail brought three deposit
itons for the First Circuit Court one
was from London, and contained the
evidence taken there in the case OF the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company
VS.. f. j. Cross. 1t is a quite heavy
document, and contains the answer of
representative of the London company
to questions regarding their contract
with the Hawaiian company.

ifornia, and contains evidence required
in probating the wills of the late Susan
Jane Douglas and the late NJ Louisson

SAW FLOATING BOXES.
Captain Kay Reports Seeing Stuff off
Kaena Point.


The Malolo which arrived yesterday
afternoon from Hanalei and Kalihiwai
brought news of some floating mer-
chandise off Kaena Point Captain Kay
saw the merchandise yesterday morn
ing about IL o'clock, floating about 20
miles off the Point. The stuff consisted
OF four boxes which evidently contain
ed Chinese merchandise of a light char
acter The boxes had not been in the
water very long, and there was nothing
tC indicate from where they had come.
Ii is thought likely that they compris-
ed a part of the deck cargo of some
vessel in the inter-isand trade.
The only schoOners which have gone
to Kauai recently are the Ada and the
Moi Wahine, the former going to Wal
alua and the latter to Eleele. Neither
carried any boxes of the description
reported by Captain Kay. If they had
there might be cause for apprehension
over them. There was such a heavy
sea running at the time that Captain
Kay saw the boxes, that he did not at
! tempt to go very close to them and
make any detailed examination. There
was a southerly tide running and an
east wind blowing. Captain Kay thinks
| that the boxes must have been lost off
some steamer that went to Kauai.

TO HUMILIArE oFFIcERs.

President Roosevelt has intimated to
the French Government that he does
not think it desirable for that Govern
ment to confer the Legion of Honor on
Admiral Dewey and Lieutenant-Gen
eraI Miles. The officers directly con-
cerned and their friends assert that the
Presidents decision was due to a wish
to further humiliate them and make the
humiliation International Whatever
may have been the reasons controlling
the action of the President it is certain
that France, in view of his attitude,
will not award the cross to either of
the officers. Since this announcement
was made it has been authoritatively
denied
