I had to run for my life and barely

FIFTEEN ATTEMPT CIVIL SER
VICE EXAMINATION.
Compete for Positions as Sampler
Weigher, Messenger, Departmental
Clerks and Translator

The customs examination which was
he'd in the High school this morning
turned out to be eminently satisfactory
in point of numbers, fifteen applicants
in all taking their papers this morning
under the supervision of A. b. Ingalls,,
secretary of the board of civil service
examiners for this territory. The ap-
plicants were well up to the mainland
average in apparent intelligence and
education and a very successful eXami-
nation is anticipated.
One man who was expected to take
his examination for mechanical and
electrical engineering failed TO show up
this morning owing to important bust
ness on hand that could not be neglect
ed, but the rest of those who had filed
their applications showed their good
faith in making them by appearing on
time.
Twelve are writing papers and ans
swering questions in an attempt to
Qualify for the positions of sampler

service, which requires Il knowledge OF
Spain but not of dialects, as qualif-

SEPARATE SESSIONS OF JUDGES
UNNECESSARY.
First Circuit Court Would Get Along
Better Under With Only One Judge
at Time.

The First c rcuit Court, as a court
of three judges who can only sit all
together or one at a time, would be a
better court than ii is now, in the
opinion of Judge Humphreys. If the
question now raised should result in a
decision that the judges have not the
power to sit separately, the court would
probably be able to get along more
cheaply, with quicker results and less
inconvenience to attorneys.
"At first sight 1 was inclined to think
that the consequences of a decision that
the three judges could not hold court
at the same time would be very serious
said Judge Humphreys, but after fur
ther consideration 1 am inclined to
think it would be a very good change,
in fact that the court would be better
off than it Is now This is without re-
ference to the effect such a decision
might have upon past litigation. That
is a question that might be raised in
the future but is not up for decision
now.
I'VE could hold court continuously
under the new order, calling special
terms as fast as they expire and hav-
ing one judge always on the bench.
This would be less expensive than the
present term system. When his term
on the bench ended, a judge could give
MS lllllt " utClSlullo, W ME dIOlllel
Judge took up the hearing of cases. In
this way we should probably have
quicker decisions.
For the attorneys such a system
would undoubtedly be more convenient.
1t is often difficult for them to keep go
ing with the business of three courts
sitting at once during a term, but they
could divide their work so as to make
appearances before one judge whenever
their cases were reached"
This continuous session plan would
obviate any objectionable results of the
change as far as the future is concern
ed, but the question of the effect on
past litigation is regarded as a more
serious one by some local attorneys. In
the last hearing of the case Magoon
suggested that decision that separate
sessions were illegal would make new
trials of many criminals necessary, and
Robertson referred to the effect on di-
vorce cases as likely to be very serious
There is little doubt that the question
will be raised in some hard fought case
If it does not come up in the case which
Judge Gear is to decide on Monday on
wstch an appeal will probably be taken.

from the canVases proper, the exhibit
in ceramics and typography promises
to be unusually large and comprehen-

whom have evinced more than a pass

some really notable work with the

to those who have not been given a pri-

FoRTY-FoUR DAYS IN THE CHINA
SEA.
Wore Ship Eighty-one Times OH the
Voyage and Tackled Never Once
Strong Gales and Currents.

The ship Dirigo which arrived in Hilo
May 3, and in this port May 9, from
Hongkong January 20, had a most re-
markable voyage.
Captain George w. Goodwin says the
length of the voyage was due to the
fact that the vessel is foul and was
very lignt in the water, drawing only
ten feet forward and twelve aft when
she left Hongkong, and that she sailed
in the Monsoon season when head
gales and strong currents combine to
keep vessels from getting out of the
China sea. 1t was not until the forty
fourth DAY out of Hongkong that the
Dirigo succeeded in rounding the South
cape Of FOrmosa, having in the mean
while logged 4.336 miles.
The DirigO the first night out from
Hongkong took a fresh gale from the
N. r.. by n, which lasted three days, at
times the ship could carry reefed top
gallant sails. The third day out she
was 800 miles south and 100 miles east
Of Hongkong. The wind then favored,
and the vessel then stood in and made
Cape Balanhary, Luzon, sighting a
four -masted schooner which was sight
ed again twenty-five days later off the
South Cape of Formosa. The Dirigo
worked up the coast of Luzon and
nearly out to the Bashee Island when
an e. N E. gale which carried her
over to Brata's Reef The light on
Breaker Point was sighted twice, the
second time when the vessel was thr-
ty-one days out. This light is about
$50 miles e. N e. from Hongkong. The
vessel got over to the South Cape of
Formosa three times only to meet N.
r. to E. N. E. strong reefed tupsail
breezes with heavy squalls and tor
rents of rain which would last three
days and lose for the vessel all she had
gained in ten days During the whole
OF the time before rounding the South
Cape of Formosa there never was a
day that there was not S. w. by w.
to S. w. current running twenty-five
miles a day and gales frequently in
creased it to forty miles.
After rounding the South Cape the
vessel got into the Kuriosiwo stream
and passed up the east side of For
mosa through the Eastern sea and into
the Pacific via Van Diemen strait.
Two nights and one very anxious day
were spent in this strait and then the
vessel sailed up the coast of Jaran.
Captain Goodwin says: Il did not have
the pleasure of steering a course with
the yards off the backstays until we
We're east of Japan. We crossed the
Pacific on the parallel of AZ degrees
and had mostly south and easterly
winds, torrents of rain, with an oCca-
sional squirt from west and northwest.
We wore ship 81 times while in the
China Sea and altogether 81 times this
passage, owing to the current and the
sea we were not able to tack once
