CABLE SHIP TO START
WILL LEAVE LONDON WITH CA
BILE ON AUGUST l.
S. S. Dickinson VIII Take Up Busi-
ness End of the Gable Proposition
Hilo Must Wait.

The information about the cable
landing at Sans Soucl which has been
published in the papers during my alb
Svnce j. practically correct" said 5. s.
Dickinson this morning. The cable
will land there, as l am satisfied that
ii is the most suitable point.
THE cable steamer Silvertown is due
to start from London with the cable
on board on August l. She will come
to San Francisco by way of the Horn.
1t is hard to say when she will arrive
positively, as she Will have to coal sew
eral times on her way over and is not
built for speed Ten knots is probably
about her limit. Still she starts with
ample margin to get the cable here as
scheduled. 1t will be only a matter of
ten or twelve days to bring the cable
down here from San Francisco. No
mention having been made of another
ship l expect that only one is consider
ed necessary for laying the cable. This
will be all completed by the time Of
the steamers sailing, being manufac-
tured at Silvertown on the Thames
opposite WOolwich, where the works Of
the lndiarubber and Gutta percha Ca
BILE Construction Company are situat-
ed The ship as you will notice is
named after the place where the cable
is made.
I'VE shall have a ship on this station
which is yet to be built probably in
American yards and will be fitted to
act as a repair ship. This steamer will
be located at Honolulu where a hun
dred miles or so of cable for repair
ing and splicing purposes will always
be kept on hand. A great part of the
time the steamer will necessarily be in
active, but her maintenance is one Of
the essentials of the service and she
will be ready at all times to put to sea
al twelve hours notice. She will prob
ably act as supply ship to Midway
Island and Guam.
Il was spoken to in Hilo about land
ing a cable there but we cannot con-
slider any such matter until the main
Issue of what we first started out to do
is taken up and finished. Until then,
any such proposition will have to be
held In allegiance. l am going to work
on the business end of the enterprise
right away now and have a great deal
yet to accomplish with regard to rates,
offices and other matters, which l shall
endeavor to clear up as soon as possible
Il think the idea about celebra ting
Gable Day on the occasion of sending
the first message through the cable
would be good one. The transmission
OF message to some important per-
sonage could easily be arranged and
the occasion should / think Be one Of
Justitiable importance in connecting the
islands with the mainland after 50
many years of waiting.

CANAL BILL IS SURE.
PROSPECTS THAT SENATE AND
HOUSE WILL AGREE.
Senate Canal Bill Providing For a
Commission To Negotiate For Pan
anna Will Probably Be Passed.

w WASHINGTON, June 22.--That Con q.
gross, after, all. has the greatest conf
uence that President Roosevelt, is a
man of action and can be trusted to
carry out promptly a great enterprise
is shown by the disposition of the
House to accept the Senate canal bill
with little, if any, material change.
1t was said today that the House
might insist on inserting one of the
amendments offered by Senator NAL
lory of Florida, putting a time limit on
the President in the matter of his in
vestigatiOn of the alleged difficulties,
legal and dOplimatic, which surround
the Panama offer, and are involved in
accepting the Panama route.
The House cOnferees, however, will
not prolong the struggle in conference
in order to get this amendment accept
ed, believing that the President will
take up the matter promptly and reach
an early decision.
Senator Mallory offered three amend
ments making a time limit of six,
twelve and eighteen months. All of
these were defeated by about the same
majority by which the SpOOner substi-
tute was afterward adopted by the
Senate.
When the House conferees finally
yield to the Senate bill an effort will be
made to insert the Mallory amendment
limiting the time to one year.
If Senators Morgan, Hanna and Kilt
redge oppose this in conference, it is
altogether probable that Representa-
tive Hepburn and the House conferees
will withdraw 1t.
Not only is President Roosevelt in
trusted with tremendous power and re-
sponsibility in the matter of the selec-
ton of the route, but also in the ap-
pointment of the commission to carry
out the great enterprise. Seven MEM
bers are provided for and their sala-
ries and expenses will aggregate not
less than $13O,0O0 annually. To conduct
such a great work without the suspi-
cion of a scandal, in the stress of party
politics, will be a gigantic undertaking
and 1t is high compliment which Con-
gress pays to the character of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in placing in his hands,
without limitation or reservation, the
selection of the most important COM
mission created by Congress since Its
foundation.

A SCHOONER
MARCUS ISLAND SYNDICATE PUR-
CHASE A SCHOONER.
Captain Andrew Rosehll brings the
Julia H. Whalen To Honolulu-Goes
Direct To the Island.

I'VE have purchased a vessel for the
Marcus Island proposition" said Wal
ter G. Peacock this morning, "and she
has just been sighted off port.
1t is the Julia Il. Whalen, Cap
tain Rosehill, SO tons, and left San
Francisco on June IA for this port.
The schooned viii go from here di-
rectly to Marcus Island on her arrival
That Is really all that l have to say
about the business. Everything is
satisfactory and the matter has start
ed with the purchase and sailing of the
schooner. She is of the oak built GlO'-
ster fisherman type and is a sound lit
tie craft, eminently adapted for our
purposes.
Il am full of business naturally this
morning after my return and really
have nothing of interest to tell you. AS
far as Washington affairs are concern
ed know nothing further than has ap-
peared in the newspapers. l under
stand that the commission that is to
come here is likely to arrive within a
few weeks. l do not know the propos-
ed personnel, but have heard that it is
exceptionally good and likely to be ad-
vantageous to our interests"
Mr. Peacock was a returning passen-
ger on the Zealandia. He was closet
ed for some time this morning with

MANY DEPART TODAY
KINAU TAKES LARGE CROWD
FROM HONOLULU.
Majority of Passengers Are Bound For
Hilo-Delegates Going To Lahaina
Conference-Other Sailings.

The crowd which departed today on
the kinau was even larger than that
which took passage on the vessel last
week, The vast majority of those
aboard are going to Hilo to attend the
races and general jollification which is
to be held july 4. All the spare room
was occupied, many having to sleep on
mattresses,
The wharf was crowded with people
who had either gone to see their
friends and relatives depart, or else at

band was in attendance and playing
the boat away. So large was the crowd
that 1t was with the utmost difficulty
that the mail and supply wagons could
be driven up to the side of the steamer.
A number of those aboard are going
to attend the annual meeting of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association
which begins at Lahaina July Z.
After the Kinau had backed into the
stream the crowd began to walk from
the wharf the people found that
shower was in progress. Nearly ev-
erybody waited under cover of the
wharf shed until the rain had sub
sided before they returned up town
The Claudine will sail this afternoon
at o'clock for Maui ports. She will
take a very large crowd, some of her
passengers being delegates to the
Evangelical conference at Lahaina.
Many school children are also going
to the other island for their summer
vacations.
The w. G.. Hall sails at p. IN. today
for Kauai ports. She will have a good

LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
LITIGANTS IN CIVIL CASES ARE
ENTITLED TO TRIALS
BY JURY.
CONSTITUTION AND FLAG BOTH
HERE.
Judge Humphreys Declares an Import
ant Statute of the Sessions of 9S to
BE Void

The United States constitution took
turn at. civil cases this morning in
the tirst circuit court, and the question
Of whether Judge Humphreys is a
United States Judge or not was dis
cussed by Attorneys Peters and Mil
verton. The court held that the Ha-
waiian law providing for appeals from
the district courts is void, i'm that 1t
deprves litigants of the right Of trial
by jury.
The issue was raised by Peters in the
case of j. J. Kennedy VS.. G.. f.. Rey-
nolds, in which the plaintiff appealed
from the decision of Judge Dickey, to
the circuit judge at chambers. A mo-
ton to dismiss the appeal was made on
the ground that, as circuit judge at
chambers he could not call a jury, the
defendant was denied his right, under
the constitution of the United states.
of demanding a jury trial.
THE Organic Act undoubtedly ex-
tended the laws and constitution of the
United States to the Hawaiian Islands
said the judge, TT also re-enacted
some OF the laws of Hawaii. If this
law is N conflict with the constitution
or laws of the United States, or of the
organic act it must fall. If it is i'm con-
fiict with any part of the organic act It
is with that part extending the United
states laws and constitution.
The Hawaiian law would have been
constitutional if it had provided for a
right of jury trial i'm the court below.
But under the law it would have been
futile for either litigant to ask for q
jury in the lower court. The only ap-
peal is to a circuit judge at Chambers
who in my opinion has no right to call
jury to hear such a matter. The law
therefore practically amounts to pro-
hibition of the right of trial by jury"
The act held to be i'm conflict with the
United States constitution is one un-
der which appeals are taken in civil
matters from the District magistrates.
and is very much employed. 1t was
Act "A of the session laws Of 1898, and
Is as follows:
Section l. Any party deeming him
self aSsrievci by the decision Of anr
District Magistrate in any case, civil
or criminal, may appeal therefrom to
the Circuit judge of the same circuit
at Chambers by filing notice of such
appeal within five days after the rem
dering of such decision and paying the
costs accrued within ten days after the
date of such decision; and if it is a civil
case, depOsitipg a good and sufficient
bond in the penal sum of twenty dol
lars, conditioned for the payment of the
costs further to accrue, in case he is
defeeNed in hhe appellate court, or
money to the same amount, within said
ten days.
In all such cases so appealed no
other or further appeal on any Ques-
tion of fact shall be allowed"
Judge Humphreys did not render any
opinion as to the nature of the circuit
courts of Hawaii. Milverton quoted
decisions to the effect that the right
Of jury trial was only enforced i'm the
constitution in United States courts
while Peters quoted Territorial prece-
dents under which the nature Of the
court didn't matter.

LEASE IS CANCELLED
SPENDTHRIFT HALL WINS HIS
SUIT.
Supreme Court Sustains the Circuit
Court in Ordering the Cancellation
Of winams Lease.

The Supreme Court today decided the
case of William A, Hall~vs. c. Winam,
in which the defendant appealed from
q decree ordering the cancellation of q
lease alleged to have been obtained
from Hall by undue influence. Hall is
now under a spendthrift trust having
been placed in such a trust by Gear, as
a result of his own testimony, during
the trial of the suit against Winam, as
to his improvidence and business in
competence.
In an opinion written by Justice
Galbraith, the Supreme Court saws
that it is clear from the evidence that
the rent named in the lease is made
quate, The syllabus says;
Where two persons stand in such q
relation that confidence is necessarily
reposed by one, and the influence
which naturally grows out of that con-
fidence is possessed by the other, and
this confidence is abused, or the infiu-
ence is exerted to obtain an advanta-
geOus agreement at the expense of the
cOnfiding party, the one so misusing
his position will not be permitted to re-
tain the benefit, although the agree
ment or contract could not have been
impeached If no such confidential re-
lation had existed.

TO STOP TRANSFERS
PAINS CARS NO LONGER MEET
ELECTRIC.
The Mule Car Schedule Changed So
That Cars Meet On Switch-Enect
of Competition.

Since the electric cars began to run
to the Waikiki road the tramways
schedule has been changed, and now
the electric and mule cars do not meet
at the junction of King street and the
Waikiki road. Formerly the Pain cars
met on the switch at this junction.
Now they meet at the first switch
along the Waikiki road.
The change in the Pain system has
done away with the convenient meet
ings of the cars Of the two systems, by
which passengers were able to transfer
from one to the other without a wait.
For few days the electric car passen-
gers from town nearly always met a
mule car waiting on the switch Now
they have to alight from the Rapid
Transit car and stand around until the
other car comes. The result Is expect
ed to be more passengers for Pain.
Another sign of waking up of the
Tramways manager is an improved
service. The tramways company
schedule has been altered so that cars
generally meet at the switches along
King street and the Waikiki road This
is almost startling to passengers, hut
they are relieved to some extent from
too great an innovation by stops be-
tween switches, when the drivers COZ
iect nickels and tickets.
one of Pains drivers unofflcially an
nounced a forthcoming reduction in
fares yesterday, in reply to a Jap who
objected to paying ten cents. The Jap
anese was called upon for another five
cents, after the car passed the Waikiki
turn. What for you want five cents
more?" said the Jap. Five cents
enough for one ride all the way Bind

"Bimeby another car run, five cents
