HIGH PRICES FOR
INDIAN DURBAR
THE GREAT IMPERIAL EVENT
AND SOME WHO WILL BE THERE
$100 A DAY.

LONDON, November 15.-'fhe excite
ment over the Indian durbar continues.
1t is estimated that nearly $4,000 British
and Americans will visit Delhi for the
occasion. The enormous prices charg-
ed have caused many people to abandon
the idea of being present. 1t Will cost
two persons with two servants $4,000
in travelling expenses. The cost of the
stay of visitors at Delhi cannot be fully
estimated. The hotels there are already
charging eight times their ususal tariff
and the available houses of the town
have already been hired at from $50 900
to $45 600 apiece. The Indian princes
are sparing no expense in taking steps
to return the hospitality which was eX-
tended to them in England at the time
of the coronation.
Owing to the scarcity of houses some
rude huts have been built among the
camps, and though they will only con-
tain fireplaces and a few simple COM
forts extravagant prices are demanded
for them. They will be of three classes
The first will cost 800 daily for board
and lodging for each person, and 500
will be charged daily for carriage hire.
Some of the travellers are taking their
own carriages and horses.
The most envied American going
hence to the durbar is Mrs. Ada Adair
who starts at the end OF the MONTH Sh(
will be Lord Kitchener's guest and viii
act as hostess, entertaining very large
party invited by the British General
Mrs. Adair Is taking a large number
of her own servants, including her chef
After the durbar Mrs. Adair will visi
Lord Curzon of Kedleston, the Vice
roy and Lady Curzon. Another Amer
lean who will take a prominent past il
the durbar is Mrs. Jack" Leslie, who's
husband has just been appointed on thu
staff of the Duke of Connaught, wh'
will represent King Edward at the In
| dian ceremonies.

TAG WITH
TREASURE SEEKERS
ATTORNEY STONEY AND PART
NER SUTTON MISS SCHOONER
HERMANN THROUGH MEASLES.

=. Stoney who in company with G. w.
Sutton, one of the promoters of the
Hermann expedition for lost treasure
Is a passenger on the Sierra returning
after fruitless attempt to connect with
the schooner which lay at Apia while
Stoney and Sutton passed through Pa
go Pago. Another trip will be made on
the Ventura.
Mr.. Stoney is reticent about his trip
but it is fully understood that he goes
with full powers of attorney to nego-
tiate with Captain Brown and expects
to bring matters to an amicable con-
clusion whereby Brown will be enabled
to sail on to his island untrammeled by
the presence of passengers and stock
holders.
1 ma story published exclusively in
the Star, it was stated that Hoffman
and Sharratt were ashore a Apia, hav-
ing left the shoOner after some trouble
between Hoffman and the skipper and
leader of the expedition. While Stoney
and Sutton passed through Pago Pago
on their way to meet the schooner at
Sydney, the Herman lay at Apia. Re-
turning from Sydney Mr.. StOney's little
girl who with his wife travels with
him, was taken with the measles and
Mr. Stoney was unable to land through
the quarantine that was established.
so you see, says Mr.. Stoney, Il
know no more about the matter than
you do. l do not know where the
schooner now is although 1 believe it to
be at Apia. Hoffman and Sharratt are
l believe ashore there and l do not
think will get aboard again. I expect
| to go back to Pago Pago on the Ven
! tura and catch the schooner on the
second trip. l went on the voyage
principally to recuperate from an at
| tack of pneumonia. / am carrying
letters that authorize me to do certain
things and clear up the tangle If poss;-
BILE. There is no great trouble between
the bona fide members of the expedi-
tion."
Sutton declares again that Hoffman
has been merely a cause of trouble
throughout That he has now no in
terest in the expedition and was lucky
to get ashore at Apia without trouble
and serious trouble with Captain
| Brown.

CASTLE MADE
VERY FAST TIME
WOULD HAVE BROKEN THE SAIL
ING RECORD FROM SAN FRAN
CISCO BUT BY MEETING GAINS.

. But for encountering calms, the bark
entine S. n. Castle would have estab-
lished a new record for the sailing
voyage from San Francisco to this port
AS 1t was, she made a very good pas
sage from the Coast in 10 days arriving
Monday afternoon.
Captain Nilsson had the wind with
him after leaving San Francisco. The
first day out the Castle made 175 miles
the second 902 miles, the third 2S4 miles
and the fourth PIG miles. This fine
showing caused considerable satisfac-
tion for if the wind but held out, Cap
tain Nilsson saw that he would break
all sailing records by making the trip
in eight days and possibly less time.
Unfortunately the vessel ran into south
westerly winds followed by calms with
rain squalls. She brought $50 tons
and four passengers. The bark Ed
ward May left the same day with the
Castle but was distanced after two days
out.
The down trip was not nearly so
eyentful as was the up trip of the Gas
tie in October. She encountered a
westerly gale and heavy seas The
mainmast was lost, sails were carried
away cabin doors were. smashed the
cabins flooded and every thing movable
on deck was carried overheard. She
had a cargo of sugar ballast on that
| trip.

NEW Feature
INTHE TAX
CASE
Evidence Presented This Morn.
ing That Thompson Accepted
BribeS F romChineSetoR Reduce
Their Assessments, s

The second trial of Alexander d.
Thompson for embezZlement was be-
gun before jury this morning, twelve
men being sworn in to try the case af-
ter many challenges by Attorney Da-
Wis. Davis distributed his challenges
with great freedom and appeared to
have adopted the role of general OBJ
iector to everything that went on. He
remarked that they wouldn't get a
jury today" but a about 10 o'clock he
declared himself sa atisfied, and a jury
was sworn.
*. r. C. Wallace, one of the jurors,
rose to inform the court that he was a
government employe, drawing salary
as clerk of the fire claims court. Davis
objected to him, and the court and
Deputy Attorney General Cathcart re-
marked that the jury had already been
sworn and it was too late. After some
more discussion Davis didn't object,
and the taking of evidence was finally
started.
The trial proceeded with a steady
stream of objections from the defense,
but Judge De Bolt began to make
quick rulings, and the objections went
into the record for what they we're
worth. Tax Collector Pratt was called
first to testify that Thompson was
deputy tax assessor, to be recalled lat
objected to and Davis wanted to do
some talking, but the court was ready
! to rule against him. Joseph Woodward
was next called.
Woodward was not allowed to be
sworn while he was under Indictment
and Cathcart announced that in view
of the courts ruling he would enter a
nolle prosequi. With Woodward on the
stand, therefore, the case against him
was formally withdrawn, and he was
then sworn to testify. Woodward's
testimony amounts to q, practical con-
fession, but he gets off by turning
states evidence
Several more five-dollar tax receipts
were introduced in evidence by Cath
, cart, in addition to those of the last
trial, being identified by Woodward as
receipts TO which he signed the name
of Thompson, by the latter's instruc-
tons, and for which he collected the
money He declared that he had turn
ed the money over to Thompson.
The prosecution introduced some new
evidence in the shape of testimony by
woodward that Thompsin had accept
ed bribes from some Cinnamon to re-
duce their tax assessments. Woodward
testified that in one case Chinese
whose assessment for tax made his tax
es $175 had paid a bribe of$75 for re-
duction to $75. The bribe had been
divided between Thompson and Wood
ward, according to the latter. In an
other case a bribe of $35 was paid for
similar purpose, it was stated, and
Thompson had got all of it.

ARE OPERATING
PAIR HAVE BEEN ROBBING PEO-
PIE AT MOILIILI FOR WEEKS
PAsT-ROBBERY AT MOANALUA.

A gang of highway robbers has been
operating in the Moiliili district for over
a month past. So far as the police
have been informed, two men are con-
cerned in the robberies. They are de-
scribed as the traditional tall man and
short man"
In practically ever case either Japa-
nese or Chinese were the victims of the
robbers. 1t no Instance has a decent
sized haul been made by the thieves. In
some cases the persons stopd-up by the
robbers, have not had a, single cent.
Others have yielded several dollars but
in no case thus far reported to TIE
police has there been a robbery mucn
over S..
Some of the victims have reported
the robberies to the Chinese store at
Moiliili, the proprietor of which has in
turn, reported the robberies TO the
police. While the police have bee in
formed that nearly a dozen Nobberies
have occurred in that district within
the last month, it is likely thai other
depredations have occurred nut no re-
ports been made of them.
4 bold highway robbery was COM
mitted at Moanalua Saturday night, a
Chinese employee of Mr.. Damon being
the victim The Chinese whose name Is
All Poi was walking along the road and
when near the hill, he was attacked by
three men. They overpowered him and
while two held him on the ground, the
other rifled his pockets. ALL of the
men were disguised by having gunny
sacks thrown over their heads, holes
being cut in the sacks.
Only rs cents was secured from the
Chinese. 1t is believed that the rob-
bers thought the Chinese had been paid
the wages for a crowd of Chinese who
had been engaged in cutting the Ian
tana on Mr.. Damon's place. The police
were notified of the robbery.

DAVIS AIRS
HIS GRIEVANCES
IS TOLD THE BEST WAY TO
AVOID CRITICISM IS NOT TO
DESERVE IT.

Attorney George A. Davis was told
this morning by Judge De Bolt how to
avoid unfavorable newspaper criticism
The best way, according to the judge,
is to avoid deserving it. Davis arose
in court and objected to an editorial in
last nights Star, commenting on case
which was concluded on the previous
evening and the court made few per-
tinent remarks on the subject of court
proceedings and newspaper comments
and reports.
81 rise to respectfully call the atten-
tion of the court" said Davis, "to an
editorial last night in The Star, the
official organ-I say so because l know
it to be so-the official organ of the
government holding me up to contempt
and ridicule, and intimating that my
proceedings were dishonorable during
the trial of the case"
Davis proceeded to discuss eXcitedly
the incidents of the trial and some of
the motions he made, and he wanted to
know why he was open to censure. IF
the verdict of the jury acquitted my
client, why am l open to censure for
my course in the trial?" said the attor-
ney. THE jury must have read this
stuff in the paper published during the
progress of a criminal trial, and II
| comes with bad grace at this time from
the organ of the government. 1t has
tendency to influence the jurors in the
case"
Deputy Attorney General Cathcart
| objected to Davis remarks in the pre-
sence of the jury. He also objected &c
calling the Star government organ
THE government, as far as l know
desires no organ" said Cathcart OBJ.
lection was also made on account of the
fact that the case in question was one
that had already been settled. The
comments to which Davis referred as
made during the progress of the trial
were published twenty four hours ar
ter the end of the case. ,H
"As Mr.. Davis has said" said Judge
De Bolt, "it is very improper for {
newspaper to comment on any cas-,
while 1t is on trial, either by references
to features of the case or to the coun
sci interested, such as would influence
the result of the trial. Judicial pro

DESERTED
RECORD BREAKING
VOYAGES ARE NOT
ALWAYS PROFITABLE

There is such a thing as a
vessel being too fast. The re-
cent voyage of the ship Tillie
e. Starbuck from Honolulu to
New York is a striking illustra-
tion of this fact. The vessel
made the fastest trip in her his
tory, but it cost in round figures
about $4,000 to do it. This loss
was not exactly a positive one,
but was at least negative.
The Starbuck' left Honolulu
the latter part of July for New
York. She carried 1880 tons of
sugar from Castle & Cooke, and
1,1S6 tons from Brewer & Com
pany. Sugar is paid for on the
basis of the quotation that pre-
walls on the date of the vessels
arrival. The Starbuck made
the quick passage of 109 days,
arriving November II. Sugar
was then quoted at 35s cents a
pound. Had she arrived but a
couple of days later she would
have gotten 3S4 cents for the
sugar, which would have net
ted about $4,000 more for the
cargo than was paid by her ar
riving November II.

THE ALL-BRITISH
CRICKETERS
ARE ON THE VENTURA FOR THE
COLONIES - WHO AND WHAT
THEY ARE.

The "All-England cricket team" is
aboard the Ventura on it's way to New
Zealand. The team played but one Am
erican engagement in San Francisco
when it met eighteen picked California
players.
The eleven consists of nine of the
best amateurs of England and two not
ed professional players. Lord Hawke,
who captains and manages the team,
isl next to DR.. w. G. Grace, the most
famous cricketer of England today. He
has made many century off his own
bat and now foots the expenses of the
present trip for the pure love of the
sport.
Hargrave and Thompson are the two
professionals of the team, the one a
famous bowler and the other the best
wicket keeper in England. Among the
gentlemen players is f. NJ. Dowson, a
noted bat and captain of this years
Cambridge eleven. The balance of the
team shows list of we'll known names
in p. F. Warner, T. L. Taylor, c. j.
Barnup, F. L. Fame, B. j. 7. Bosanquet,
r. p. Johnson, A. E. Leatham and j.
Staining, Jr.
Lord Hawke himself plays with the
eleven. He has captained and handled
the Yorkshire county eleven for many
seasons, and the Yorkshire eleven has
many times come out ahead of the
county list, being at the top both this
season and last.
The team will play a series of match
es in New Zealand and while the team
can hardly be rightly called an ALI
England representative team, it at the
same time is worthy of English crick-
| eters, and will put up a first class

THIRTY THOUSAND IN CASH.
To See the Mass Lying Idle in a Bank erss Window Grieves One
 Practical Spirit.

The Italian bankers of Elizabeth and Mulberry streets are filing. their show . windows with greenbacks in an eff fort to attract trade and convince the public that one has more money than the other. In the window of one banker $30,00O was on exhibition one day recently, says the New York Sun. Bills of all denominations were strewn carelessly around the window, attracting crowds.
 '"Them ain't all real money" re- marked one woman, "then's imita tion.''
 '.Yes,'' replied man in the crowd, "that's the genuine long green we all struggle for"
 ''I never fought dere was dat much money in de world,'' chimed in a ragged boy.
 Two Italian laborers got into an af- gument as to the amount of cash in the window. One thought there must have been at least $1, 1,0oo,oo0 About noon two men with long whis- kers stepped their vending wagon in front of the place. They had come over from the East Side of town.

10 AS A HOUSE SERVANT.
Indian Boys and Girls Have of Late Been Taking to HouseworlS
 i'm the West.

Indian schools all over the south west have recently adjourned for the summer, and the students are being employed very rapidly by those who keep servants.s The Indian boys make excellent cooks, while an Indian girl, once trained, is fine maid of all work, modish hairdresser and endowed with an inborn taste which becomes picturesque when combined with a few civilizd touches. The system of training now bestowed upon the red children at school teaches them to be- come servile to their superior-the paleface, and the present generation in training have become so accus- toned to serving their paleface teach CTS that they are more than willing to enter the household as servants. Herein may lie the solution of the servant-girl question-for time, at least, says western exchange.
 Indian youths are strong, agile, and if brought up by the right kind of eethods, are perfectly willing, to work. They are healthy and quick of limb. This makes an excellent combination for servant. Statis tics of the Indian taken recently show that of the 45, GOO workers among the various tribes, 5000 of them are employed as helpers in the houses of palefaces. You never see the Indian servant at his or her best until you visit the home of an old Indian agent on one of the reserva-. tionS
