The Hamapo Case .

The appeal of II. Hamano from the
decision of the New York Board Of Gen.
eral Appraisers was argued before
Judge Estee yesterday. Mr. Highton,
who appeared on behalf of the japanese
importers. of sandals which had been
classified as iron, contended that the
classification was palpably absurd
that the shoes were of rawhide, and
that rawhide was the nearest approach
to leather. He claims that they should
be assessed as leather at twenty-five
per cent ad valorem under the simil-
itude clause and not as iron at forty
five per cent. The matter will he sub
mitted on briefs, so no response was
made by Mr.. Breckons.

RESCUED
FROM THE
STREAM
Native Woman Is
Very Nearly
Drowned.
prom Mondays daily.)

The sight of a woman struggling for
her life in the rising waters of Nuu-
anu stream, at about 6 o'clock last
evening, just below the Pacific Heights
Railroad bridge, caused two Portu-
guese to put forth strenuous efforts
until she was saved. They dragged her
from the muddy stream half dead
from wounds received in striking
against boulders and as well half
drowned.
The woman, who is known in the
upper valley as Mary, attempted to
cross the railroad bridge during the
heavy rain storm and had got about
half way over when she made a mis-
step and fell from the side of the
structure. Owing to the rainfall of the
afternoon, the stream was swollen t.
the banks and this acknowledgement
the woman's life, as otherwise she
would have been dashed to death upon
the rocks in the bed of the stream.
When she struck the water she scream
ed and the attention of the two Portu-
guese was attracted. She was seen to
struggle in her efforts to keep herself
upright, but she was whirled about and
ing half the time under the water,
until she became exhausted
Finally the men plunged into the
water and dragged her out in a faint
ing condition. She was taken to a
house near by and resuscitated, and
then taken to her own home and a
physician called. The police We're no.
titled and the patrol wagon was kept

pital if necessary. The woman had
quite recovered last evening from her
unusual experience.
STORM WAS GENERAL.
The storm which struck the city
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
continued undated throughout the
day and evening. There was but few
intervals when the rain was not de-
scending in torrents, and the storm
sewers down town and along King
street in the residence section were
overtaXed. The rain became so heavy
toward evening that the streets be
came deserted, and only the most de-
vout braved the storm to attend sery-
ices in the churches.
The rainfall merged into foods as
the water reached the lower levels of
town. The slopes of Punchbowl SEEM
ed reservoirs which opened with full
force into the streets, emptying into
Beretania and King streets, which
were soon transformed into muddy
lakes.
The car lines were both affected by
street muck piling up on the tracks,
and progress was retarded in many
places. The Rapid Transit was espe-
cially affected on its Lunalilo street
line, and cars were thrown from the
track at the intersection of Lunalilo
and Pensacola streets. and also at the
Beretania pumping station. Gangs of
men were sent out along the road to
watch the most dangerous places and
keep the tracks free from stones and
mud In this way the system was
open. although cars were not running
on the exact schedule
Nuuanu stream became a river as
the night wore on. and rose high below
the falls, below Kuakini street. Prof.
Lyons predicted for today a continual
ton of yesterdays storm.

BISHOP SITE
FOR A NEW
POSTOFFICE
Committee Declares for the King
Street Plot Without Dis.
senting Voice.

with plans for magnificent build
ing to house the postoflice, courts and
other Federal departments located at
Bishop and King streets and three
Customs House and surrounding parks
and gardens, the committee which for
two weeks past has been considering
public building sites has completed the
first part OF its work on lines which
mean much for the future of Honolulu.
Conferences which will have for their
end the transfer of the block of ground
for the first mentioned structure from
Bishop Estate to the Territorial gov
eminent, and then to the Federal au-
thorities, will begin this morning and
will be pushed to as speedy a conclu-
sion as the nature Of the negotiations
will permit.
In the event of the coming to terms
of the two parties to the deal, Com
missioner Eustis will bear back to
Washington the title to the land, with
the opinion of the United States Attor-
ney that it is good and sufficient, as
well as the assurance to the Secretary
of the Treasury and Congress that the
majority of the people of the city hope
to see erected upon the grounds a build
ing which will set the note of municipal
progress.
The absence Of Govcr'or Dole will not
materially delay tine action of the local
government, in its efforts to arrive at
a satisfactory exchange for the property
which is the choice of the majority
Of the committee and which received its
n,aft, 4 ,...lI
in touch with the local officials by tele-
graph, and this will mean that in the
event of a proposal which seems salts
factory, there will be little more to do
than the mere fixing up of the title,
which will take only Il few hours at the
most. The lands of the estate have a
perfect title and there would be no diff
ficulty on this score.
The action of the committee on Sat
urday increased the size of the plot
which is now desired by the committee
for presentation to the government. The
size of the block is to be 1876 feet on
King street and the same on Bishop
street This will not make a perfect
square for the site, owing to the jutting
out of the Boston Block property, which
is only 143 feet from the King street side
and which would mean that there is an
l. on the Blshop street side of ninety
by ffty-two feet. The added surface
means that the value of the land is in
creased from S11OGOO to sl3O OoO This
is on the basis Of "a a foot for the mon
erty.

NJ. Dowsett, a suit TO terminate the

irgly interesting. Mr.. Wilder, for
plaintiff, asked yesterday morning for
an immediate hearing of the case, but
Judge Stanley, appearing FOR Dowsett,
objected and stated that negotiations
We're in progress looking to settle
ment out of court. He stated that he
had received advices to that effect
from San Francisco and upon his mo-
ton the matter was continued for a

no intimation Of settlement, the last
Idvices received by him being to push
the case to trial. He said afterwards
that family reasons We're probably re-
sponsible for the settlement.

WITHDRAWS CASE.

The case of Koolau Kaikanahaoe vs.
j. O. Carter and S. c. Allen, suit for
an accounting and upon a mortgage,
was dismissed yesterday upon motion
of c. w. Ashford, attorney for the
plaintiff. The case was on trial before
Judge Gear and the defendants showed
that there had been an actual payment
of $1,000 upon the mortgage in dispute
whereupon the complainant dismissed
the suit, stating that this proof was
all that had been desired There are
two other cases in which the same mat
tiers are involved and these will also
be dismissed. The case has been in
litigation in district, circuit and su-
preme courts for the past six months
almost TO the exclusion of everything
else. The plaintiff is still in possession
of the property claimed under the fore
closure Of mortgage
Another suit involving the same land
mas been started against Ethel and

ALL Due TO FAMINE
Russian Peasant Agitators Were
Hungry.
VIOLENCE IN MANY VILLAGES
Troops Fire on the People In Many
Cases and Corporal Punish
ment Is Common.

London, May S.-St. Petersburg CORE
spondence on the disorders prevailing dur
ing the last three weeks show they were
largely due to extreme suffering from
famine, which was utilized by agitators
to foment a rising. The peasants were
not the only believers in the issue of an
imperial ukase permitting division of
the property of the nobility and char
liable distribution Of potatoes by the
st eward of the duke Of MecklenbuTg's es-
tate, at Kharloffka, tended to confirm this
belief. The pepole of the whole country
side, often led by the village magnates,
streamed to the Kharloffka and other es-
tates, on foot, horseback and in wagons,
demanded the keys of the pantries, gran
aries and barns and carried off their con-
tents.
Rich Cossacks suffered equally with the
noblemen. When land owners refused to
deliver up the keys the peasants broke
down the doors, seized the foodstuffs and
returned home, even well-to-do peasants
sharing in the plumber. When opposed,
the peasants contented themselves with
supplying their immediate needs, but
where their demands were not met they
plundered and desolated estates.
The Inhabitants of the villages were
already on a strained footing with the
neighboring land owners. Violence is re-
ported from twelve to fifteen villages,
ulie LulCS estates nave US0u QSVdSLa-
ted in the Kharkoff government and forty
three in the Poltave government. To add
to the general consternat ion, 200 Cossacks
arrived at Poltave after the regular forces
had rest ored order. The troops fired on
the people in two or three cases, and in
one instance the peasants attacked the
troops with stones, whereupon the lat
ter fired on them, killing several persons
and wounding a score, among whom were
women and children. Corporal punish
ment was administ cred right and left,
without much inquiry into the guilt of the
persons flogged. Some estimates place the
number of turbulent peasants as high as
10000. .-..s --.
There was similar occurrence at Khar-
koff, where the governor general Prince
Obolensky, was particularly severe.
General Eugene Mtchalovich Dhourksky
was among the sufferers. His esta at
Mech was ruined and he, himself was
seized and beaten. He is still i'll from
the effects of the treat ment he received
AS an example of the extent to which the
ranks of the famine stricken villagers
are swollen by the return of unemployed
factory workers, it is pointed out that one
iron works which heretofore employed
$4,000 to 10000 people, is now employing
only 5000 for three days a week.
