+ Having defeated and killed Rabah, the
French withdrew from the country. From
the battle in which the sultan had been
killed, Rabah's son, Fatarella, fled with
the remnants of his fathers army to the
shining capital on Lake Chad, where his
sister HoWa had awaited the outcome of
the war. News of the defeat and death
of the sultan reached Kuka before Fata-
relia and his flying troops appeared be-
fore the city's gates, and at once there
was a great uprOar in the city. The pop
ulace rose to throw off the dynasty Of
Rabah and went surging through the
narrow. streets toward the palace where
the princess Howa remaineu surrounded
by her guards. Then the< indomitable
spirit Of Rabah, the conqueror, asserted
itself in his daughter. tss = ~
Mounted on her horse, she appeared
unveiled before her guards in the court
yard Of the palace, and exhorted them
to save the crown which had now desced-
ed to her brother. In one hand she held
a spear, with which she gesticulated as
she harangued her troops Her marvel
GUS beauty and her superb spirit struck
through the troops like fire, and they
answered the princess with wild shouts
! and protestations Of loyalty. Ordering
the great gates thrown open, Howa is
| sued forth at the head of the guards, and
a short and savage conflict ensued in the
city streets. HoWa was everywhere, en-
; couraging and directing her troops, and
with their modern rifles, they soon had
the rebels flying to their holes. Return
ing triumphant to the palace, Howa well
coined her brother Fatarella, who had
now appeared on the scene with the rem
nants Of his fathers army. ~ "
| Fatarella now set about reorganizing
his army and welding together again the
| empire which had threatened to fall in
pieces at his fathers death. Reforms
| in the civil administration were intro
| duced, rebellious communities were over
run and brought back to their allegiance,
| and before long all the disturbance
caused by the French invasion had
| ceased, and Fatarella was as secure on
his throne as his father had been before
| him. In all this the new Sultan was
greatly assisted by his sister Howa, who
! proved that she knew how to give
! shrewd advice as well as to lead troops
! in battle. Fatarella created a regular
army of 1000 foot soldiers, which he
armed with modern rifles, and kept also
a considerable body Of horse. For the
horsemen whom he selected for his
! bodyguard he continued the use Of the
! old chain armor, and appeared in public
surrounded by this glittering cavalcade,
clad himself in pure white with a dia-
| mond aigret shining in his turban.
Howa demanded and received command

Lieut.. McGregor Of the Coldstream

Fatarella, and, proceeding to the West
coast Of Africa, they assembled the Niger
and it's large tributary, the Benue, to the
British station Of Fol. the most advanced
outpost Of European civilization near tho
borders Of Sultan Fatarella's territory.
Native runners carried the news to the
sultan that the British ENJOYS were COM
ing to see him on friendly visit. He did
not await the ENJOYS in his capital OF
Kuka, as they had expected he would,
but gathered his army together and came
forth to meet them. Twenty-Five days

tablished his camp and awaited his
guests. Maj. McClintock and Lieut.. Nc

that morning, and if it had not been for
her little white. face and anxious eyes
would certainly have been kept in when
school was over. Directly she got home
again, she made the twins stand and
& look out of the window while she made
an untidy parcel Of little clothes, with
which she disappeared, returning again
for a blanket, which she rolled up in
brown paper, and a small stool, which
she took from the corner. 8
All the rest of that day these sun1ptu-

MA DUAL IN
HARD LUCK
Jumps From the Frying
Pan Into the
Fire.

Ma Quai seems to have fallen into
the hands of a bad Kahuna, but what
ever has caused him bad luck has put
him behind the bars just when ne was
about free of the law Ma DUAL is a
thrifty Chinaman who, in connection
with his regular business, conducted a
speak easy and was nabbed by the
police. He was given a stir fine by
Judge Wilcox, but appealed the case to
the circuit court. Judge De Bolt SEN
fenced him to pay fine of $125 and
costs. The Chinaman was surprised at
the sentence, and when Court Officer
See conducted him down stairs at noon
to enter the patrol wagon to be taken
to the police station he protested, saw
ing he would like to be taken in a
hack to his store, where the money
would be obtained, the fine paid, and
he be given his release. The officer
said he would have to attend to that
matter after reaching the station. Ma
Quai protested vigorously, without
avail.
When he reached the station num-
Der of Chinese friends were already
gathered there. Instead of following
the rest of the prisoners into the
clerks Office, Ma Quai stepped to the
group of friends and held quite con-
ference until interrupted by the officer
Ma Quai asked for time to get the
money, which he said would take about
ten minutes time, and asked the priv
ilege of remaining up stairs instead of
going to the Jail yard. The clerk, how
ever, stated he would have to take his
medicine, like all other prisoners.
When the turnkey searched Ma
Quai the reason of the latter's uneasi-
ness was apparent. About dozen
paka pic Or Chinese lottery tickets
were found on his person. Ma Quai is
certainly in hard luck, for even if he
does pay his s125 fine he will have to
face new charge of having in his
possession the questionable paste
boards.

MANY SITES ARE
NOW DISCUSSED

The location of the proposed post
office building was the theme of dis
cussion yesterday on all hands and al
though there was some division of opin-
ion the consensus seemed to be that
the gore block beyond Alakea was most
fitted for the location.
There are many locations however
which have friends and which will be
warmly advocated. Among the many
plots of ground now mentioned favor
ably are the triangle, the Irwin block
at Richards street and Merchant, the
Hopper block on King above the Palace,
the block Waikiki of the Judiciary
building. the Allen property at Alakea
and King and the block on King street
fronting the Young building.
The committee appointed by the Gov
ernor to take up the question, will meet
for organization this morning at IL
o'clock at the Office of Alexander &,
Baldwin in the Stangenwald building,
and active work canvassing public opin-
ion and looking into the conditions sur
rounding each of the possible sites will
commence. The committee is composed
of L. A. Thurston, chairman; F. A.
Schaefer, F.. w. Maefarlane, a. Cart
ley. David Kawananakoa, $. K. Kane,
Mdtl hepptfn, j. NJ. OaL anu " H.
Carter. Speaking of the postoffice mat
ter yesterday a former resident of the
East said:
The suggestion that the site be Sc
cured and offered to the government
should be followed up if possible.
Should the government have to pur-
chase a site it would take some time,
perhaps two or three years either for
recommendation and purchase or for
condemnation proceedings. In case the
plot Of ground desired could be secured
it would then mean only a fight for
the appropriation which with a favor
able recommendation from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury should be easy to
secure. The time consumed would be
greatly lessened and the success of the
effort almost absolutely insured"

Local option has been decided upon
by the Anti-saloon League as the meas
ure which it will endeavor to have
brought before the Legislature next
spring for favorable action. No reso-
luton to this effect has been passed by
the League, but the consensus of opin-
ion amongst all it's officers and active
members is that a local option law
would be best suited to the conditions
here.
For some time past the League has
been studying the Beal Municipal Local
Option law of Ohio where it has proven
successful wherever adopted. Superin-
tendent Rice of the Anti-Saloon League
considered the Beal law and is heart
lily in favor of it, as it is broad, well
defined and liberal.
We hope to have it brought before
the Legislature" said Mr. Rice, ''and
pressed to a favorable termination.
We have thoroughly studied the Beal
law and feel certain that no other could
be SO advantageously used in Hawaii.
In Ohio when forty per cent of the
voters of municipal ward petition
that an election be held to determine
whether that ward shall have saloons
or not, 1t is granted. If the voters de-
eide adversely, saloons are barred from
doing business there, and so on
throughout the State.
cat present the League is not doing
much except to hold meetings and pre-
pare for the legislative session. Since
Mr.. Cooper took former Treas. Wright's
place, we left it to his judgment as to
the. issuance of licenses. Now that Mr.
Kepoikai is the treasurer we will call
UPON him and ask his consideration in
regard to whatever petitions against
saloons we may have to lay before him.
There is no law compelling the treas
urer to act upon petitions, but Mr..
Wright made this concession and we
trust Mr.. Kepoikai will extend the same
courtesy.
1.-THE Primo beer licenses have ex-
pred and I presume when the Legis-
lature meets again they will be re-
newed., However, we hope to have the
local option bill passed and that will
assist in countering an increase in the
number of saloons"
The Beal law to which Mr.. Rice re-
ferred provides that the sale of in
toxicating liquors, whether distilled,
malt or vinous, except by a regular
druggist on written prescription of a
regular practicing physician for medi-
cal purposes only, is unlawful. When
forty per cent of the regular voters of
g. municipal corporation petitions the
council to determine by ballot whether
the sale of intoxicating beverages shall
be prohibited within the limits of such
corporation, the council is required to
hold an election within thirty days.
In case the election decides against
liquor selling, whoever is found guilty
of selling liquors thirty days after the
election is guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall on conviction be fined not more
than 5000 nor less than $50 for the first
offense, and for the second offense not
more than $500 nor less than 500, and
future offenses provide for imprison-
ment. When two years have elapsed
petition for another election can be
filed with the proper authorities and
again the matter is decided by ballot.
