! The grand jury made final re-
port for the tern to Judge Robin
son yesterday aud was discharged
for the term Seven indictments
were brought into court yesterday
morning, the jury being ready to
report finally at that time, but upon
the request OF the Attorney General, ,

indictme nts reported yesterday was
one for murder in the first degree
against "Kentucky Bill" and one on
the same charge against Kimurs,

aDese woman at Waia' 'ua
There was also one indictment
for burglary in the second degree
and four for larceny. In the after
noon two more larceny indictments
were returned, which concluded
the labors of the grand jury.
Judge Robinson heartily thanked
the members of the grand jury, in a
neat speech, for their Efforts to fol-
low out his suggestions. He COM
mended the promptne,s aud thor
oughness Of their work, aud said
that the economy and dispatch dis.
played in their Investigations were
deserving OF praise. The members
OF the grand jury joined also in re-
turning thanks to Deputy Attorney
General Cathcart and ably rendered
to them during their sittings. No
written report was made, Judge
Robinson advising that this was un
necessary, aud the grand jury made
no recommendation or suggestions
of any kind.

TIE INDEPENDENT strongly be-
lieves, as does its LApor Settlement
correspondent, that the Attorney
Generals Department is as much
responsible, if not more, than the
Board OF Health, although the
head OF that department is virtu-
ally in control OF the police de-
partment. In diacharging the al,
legged guilty officials, the Board
made grave error in not de-
msnding the dismissal ofthe native
officials, If not from the police
force, it should from being in its
employ. We very much resent the
inuuendo because they we're Ha-
waiians and that they wers not
much to blame than their haole
superiors, for such is q plain case

in order to shield the police de-
partment, Justice de nands, whether
native or not, the same treatm ant;

authorities have declined to inter-
iere with mstters there, we hope
that it will receive notice by terri

Fined for Contempt of Court.

Attorney George A. Davis was
fined IS by Judge Gear yesterday
for contempt of Court, but the fae
was promptly remitted. The court
had refused to receive a petition
from Davis because it was interim
ed, whereat the attorney remarked
that the court "seemed to be out OF
order this morning" THAT is con-
tempt" said the court. Davies ex-
planned that he didn't mean it, as he
had been of the impression that
court was not in session. Judge
Gear replied that this court had
been in session all the morning, and
imposed fine OF S., which was re-
mitted when Davis purged himself
of contempt by apologizing. The
matter was entered upon the re-
cords by the clerk.

they belong to neither, but to the

them. If it is question of private
property here, we can assure the

such holdings belongs to the whites

BRITAIN'S NEW PREMIER.


London, July ia. j. Balfour was
yesterday formally greeted as Great
Britain's premier and the new regime
began its work. The momentous
change was marked by only one real
ly dramatic incident, namely, the
resignation of Sir Michael Hicks
Beach from his post Of chancellor
Of the exchequer. Yet this lack OF
outward show and public prelude to
. new chapter in English history is
by no means representative OF the
disturbance which the sudden transit
ton created among the under-cur-
rents Of political life. 1t is safe to
say that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is
only the first Of several whose names
have figured largely before the pub
lie in the last half century and who
now will disappear from the political
arena. Nothing absolutely definite
is yet settled, but the unionist party
expects shortly to hear of the resig-
nations of Earl Halsbury, lord high
chancellor; Lord James of Hereford,
chancellor Of the duchy of Lancas-
ter, and Earl Cadogan, lord lieuten-
ant of Ireland.
