James H. Boyd this morning attempt
ed 10 force his way into his office and
resume charge of the Department OF
Public Works. He was met at the
Capitol Building by officer Elvin, act
ing under orders issued by the attorney
general and after a brief struggle in
which the officer kept him out of the
door, Boyd left the building. Boyd
brought a friend with him, and is sup
posed to have made his attempt with
view to securing legal proof of the fact
that he is kept from the office. Tne
next move will be an effort to secure
an order from the courts in his favor.
There were three police officers on
guard this morning, in the lower corri-
dor of the Capitol building, where the
Public Works offices are. 1t was
thought that Boyd might attempt to
enter, and take charge of the office and
records, and the officers had orders to
use force if necessary to see that he
did not enter One was stationed at
the mauka entrance, one makai and one
patrolled the hallway.
Chief Clerk White, Manuel Cook,
Charles Wilcox and other clerks entered
the office as usual. Boyd appeared at
about half past eight alighting from All

slowly towards the building. Officer
Elvin, who has been on guard at the

at the steps and informed him that he

At about ten o'clock Colonel Boyd
made another advance on the Superin-
tendent's office. This time he came
with a larger force, being accompanied
by Attorney Frank E. Thompson, who
was apparently not quite satisfied that
force was being used" There were
three officers waiting for Boyd, ana
one of them had already used physical
strength to keep him out of the office
but the attorneys seemed to be still in
doubt.
The second expedition of Colonel Boyd
with Thompson as strategist entered by
the King street door. Boyd advanced
like a hero to the front at once. He
grappled with two officers, Mulleitner
and Nelson. Though the superintendent
had weight, the policemen held him, nut

both anxious to see if the other counsel

The news of Boyd's attempt to get in
to the office very quickly spread about

. BILE SHIP sILvERTON.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 21.-The
land end of the Mackay cable to Homo
lulu will be completed within the next
two weeks. The conduit from the COM
pany's office in the Hobart building on
Market street out to the testing house
on Forty-seventh street, south from the
Cliff House, a distance of seven miles,
will be laid by next Friday. The con-
duit is a steel tube three and q quarter
inches in diameter, and half a dozen
workmen have arrived from the East
to place the land end of the cable. AS
soon as the cable reaches here the work
men will pull it through the conduit by
a system of wires already placed IN the
latter.
The steamer Silverton is now out thir-
ty days from London with the 1900
miles of cable. 1t was the hope of the
late John w. Mackay that the cable
should be completed by next Thanks
giving Day. 1t now appears, however,
that the Silverton will not reach this
port before that day. The companys
officials are confident that messages
will be cabled between San Francisco
and Honolulu not later than December
10th next.

The money which Boyd is alleged to
have embezzled was received from a
transfer of lands, and was in the form
of a check from Dr. c. b. Cooper, it is
stated. The alleged embezzlement waG.
discovered when Deputy Auditor Mey-
ers went through the books of the de-
partment, and was one of the matters
regarding which an explanation was
wanted by the governor. 1t is addi-
tiOnal to the s., 99j already turned in by
Boyd on account of land sales and the
money, it is charged, has never been
turned over to the government.
The transaction was cOnsummated on
June TO- when Dr. Cooper and the Su-
perintendent agreed upon an exchange
of Makiki lands, Cooper to pay $l,65O to
the government as a part of the bar
gain. He gave his check to the SUPER
intendenr.
There is no record in the books of
the department as to the receipt of the
money" said Deputy Auditor Meyers
this afternoon, "and it has never been
turned in to the government. 1t has
nothing to do with the sum of $2.995,
when Mr.. Boyd has turned over for
land sales"
Are there any other matters re-
naming to be eXplained?" the Deputy
Auditor was asked. He replied that he
had nothing to say aboG, any other
discoveries in connection with the Pub
lie Works Department. The actions
taken have led to suppositiOns that
there are further shortages, but MOTH
ing is known as to this, and those who
know refuse to either confirm or deny
such reports.
