Your correspondent has noticed that
different ones on the Hill are in the
habit of taking the dirt excavated from
their cellars and cisterns and dumping
il into.the road. This would be all right
if they.spread it. but the way they dump
the dirt does more harm than good. The
road supervisor should look into the
matter.

The party who came here short time
ago with the avowed intention of estab-
fishing daily paper, has given up the
proposition, owing to lack of encourage
ment. As THE HERALD has before stat
ed, when conditions are such that Yak

credit to the city-not jim-crow, grass
hopper affair, but live. up-to-date pa
per-the same will be forthcoming.
Until that time people who think they
can start daily here with two or three
hundred dollars capital would do better
to contribute their funds to some deserv-
ing charitable institution.

JUDGE ESTEE'S
DECISION

The okolehao case. this being suit
brought by the United States VS.. the
schooner Kawailani has been decided
by Judge Estee in favor of the libel
liant. The decision is based on the in
formation brought relative to the seiZ-
ure of the said schooner and it was
cOnclusively shown that the schooner
was carrying Illicit liquor. The decis-
ion rendered by his honor is in strict
accordance with the statutes and ld-
judges that the owners of property az
responsible for the acts of lessees.
In the decision ii is said that this
liquor is okolehao; that it was made
in the Territory; that it was illlcitly
manufactured and has paid no internal
service tax and that Captain Moses
knew, these facts when he secreted it
on board the schooner Kawailani;
that the deporting, secretion and re-
moval Of this liquor on board his said
vessel was done with intent to de-
fraud the Government of the United
States Of the tax due upon it, No tes-
timony appearing to the contrary. the
court presumed that from all the cir
cumstances surrounding the case, the
liquor was distilled since the annexa-
ton of the Territory by the United
states. and that in any event 1t was
liable to the tax prescribed by the laws
of the United States.
judgment of condemnat ton of the
vessel Kawailani. her apparel tackle,
etc, was ordered.

PREFERS DAHOMEY
TO MARTINIQUE

FORT DE FRANCE. June There
has been no one on the island of Mar
Unique more anxious to leave than the
King Of Dahomey. A prisoner here
since 1888, he had been living a more
peaceful and contented life than he
ever dreamed of in his African king
dom until Pelee's eruption aroused him
from his lethargy. When seen today
at his little house, not far from Fort
de France, the first question he asked
through his interpreter was whether
there was any way of his getting away
from Martinique.
II want them to send me back to
Dahomey," he said. They don't have
such awful things there"
The French officials, however, declare
that the old King Is merely making an
excuse to get back to his kingdom, and
appear to have little sympathy with his
fears. King Bohanzen is not living in
what could be called luxury, but he is
probably more comfortable than he
ever was in his life before he was
transported to Martinique, He has
three wives to look after his comfort,
two daughters and a son. The latter
has been well educated in st. Pierre.

will be at least one very interesting
race during the Merchants Fair here.
II is known that in the event of GU
derkirk beating Mckenzie at Hilo.
Wayboy viii come back here for the
last week in July and will be given
special preparation for a match against
Sambo. This will make a good race,
but it would be a better one If made
three cornered and Cyclone put into it..
Neither of Quinn's PAGERS win make
the trip to Hilo. owing to the fact
that their driver cannot find the time
to make the trip. 1t was the inten-
ton to take the black PAGER Cyclone
over to Hilo. but no one but Quinn will
drive that horse for time yet, and so
there will be no third entry to contest
that pacing event.
Hilo's Fourth promises to be full of
good sport, for the string of Mckenzie
alone will give 1t.
Some of the local horsemen are talk
ing over plans for the Merchants Fair
meeting here, and 1t is probable that
there will be both a gentemen's trot-
ting and pacing event.

Tho letter of Assistant Secretary
Spauldng In this connection is In part as
/ follows:
The Attorney Generals opinion applies
to importations into Tutuila as well as
the products thereof. Both classes of
| shipments thence are therefore exempt
from duty in the United States. notwith-
standing that rates OF duty charged ON
the former In Tutuila may be less than
the rates imposed ON similar merchandise
imported into the United States from for
eign countries. The opinion Is, how
ever, inapplicable to merchandise shipped
from foreign port TO Hawaii or TO the

and payment OF duty II dutiablc in Tu-

/ There is also strictcr Interpretation OF
the law allowing the importation of ami
mails for exhibition purposes, which for
morly were admitted free on bond. Now
| the department holds:
1T having been represented TO the De
partmest that this provision OF law is
abused, in that IL is used as n means of
introducing horses and other animals into

! from the nature of the case such ami

in consequence OF which animals valued
by the importer at much below their
actual worth are entered and assessed
with duty on such value; that II is diff
| fcult " not impracticable. to establish
the fact of differentiation in such cases:
that ii is doubtful il the law contemplates
! the entry for consumption of animals
thus specially imported under bond. and
as 1t is represented that transactions of
this nature are rapidly multiplying. It Is
hereby directed that all special bonds In
the form herein set forth given on the
| importation OF animals for exhibition
shall be conditioned for the due exporta-
| ton of the animals within six months.

such expectation or payment Of duty on
such animals covered thereby ms may

LANDING
Or CABLE
Can The President Let
Mackay Line
Land?
Cspcclal u The Adyerliser)

WAsHINGTON, II. c.. June IA
some what Interesting situation as 60
the Pacific Commercial cable has de-
vcioped here. 1t hinges largely on the
understanding which prevails with the
House leaders that President Rose
Welt doubts whether he has the author
ity To allow the landing Of a cable,
without further legislation from Con-
gress.
According to the arrangement now
made, the cable bill will be considered
In the House next week. As 4 have
stated in my previous letters there is
little prospect that the Coriss bill for
Government construction will pass. ur-
less IL IL very materially amended and
amended SO that a private cable com
pany can lay the line across the Pa
cific. The best impression seems to be
that the House will amend the bill so
that the President will have wide lati-
tude in allowing private cable to
land on our shores. This is the senti-
ment of the House leadership, which
may or may not prove to be correct.
The most important feature is the ell
ement of doubt as to whether the Pres
ident would allow the cable to be land
ed at San Francisco and Honolulu Tn"
undertake to resist such an enterprise
but the people here interested in the
cable, either one way or another, are
nevertheless closely watching develop
ments. There is a political phase of
the situation, as far as the Democrats
are concerned In the House commit
tee on interstate and foreign commerce.
three Democrats were for the Corliss
bill and three were against it, How
ever, when ii came to arguing before
the committee on rules for a special
rule to consider the cable bill, all six
of these Democrats were against the
rule.
Now the word is being passed around
the Democratic side of the House that
as matter of politics Democrats must
not vote for a Government cable far
Their than Honolulu. The reason for
this is that they think it would be in
consistent with their advocacy of in
dependence for the Philippines. In 9TH
er words, the construction of a Gov
eminent cable to Manila might be in
terpreted as an argument in favor of
the retention of those islands.
The opponents of the Corliss bill for
Government construction are a little
concerned over the absence from
Washington at this time of Colonel
Pete Hepburn, chairman of the COM
mittee, and Representative Sherman.
Both these gentlemen have been the
staunchest advocates of private con-
struction. Efforts have been made to
postpone consideration till late next
week, but thus far these efforts have
not succeeded.
