WORK ON CABLE
AT SAN FRANCISCO

Blake, Moff1tt & Towne, the we'll
known paper dealers of San Francisco,
write the Advertiser as follows:
San Francisco, Oct 8, 1902.
Hawaiian Gazette Co., Honolulu, T. H.
Gentiemen:-It may be of interest to
you to know that the Pacific Cable
seems to be really under way. In
front of the Postal Telegraph Co. s
office, on Market street near Second, a
few days ago lot Of men commenced
tearing up the asphalt pavement and
digging a trench, surrounding the
trench with signs Pacific Gable, Ho-
nolulu Section This is at about
Second and Market streets and they
continue to Geary street, thence out
Geary street to about one-half mile
below the Cliff House, so the ''shore
end'' from the city to the Ocean Beach
ought to be completed in short time.
An official of the Postal Telegraph
Co. informed writer that they thought
the rate for commercial messages be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu
would be about so cents per word; this
rate seems fair, for it was only about
twenty-five years ago that the rate
between San Francisco and New York
for a message of ten words was So.
We are,
Yours respectfully,
BLAKE, MOFFITT & TOWNE.

that he met Superintendent of Public
Works James II. Boyd on the dock at
San Francisco just before leaving, and
Boyd informed him that he intended re-
turning to Honolulu on the next steam

could travel is the Sierra which is due
to arrive here on October %.
LETTER FROM MRS. BOYD.
That supt. j. H. Boyd of the Depart
ment of Public Works will return on
the Sierra Is verified by letter receiv-
ed by Gov. Cleghorn from his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Boyd, on the Alameda. Mrs.
Boyd was much surprised at the letter
written by Gov. Cieghorn in which he
had said that the Superintendent of
Public Works was expected in Homo
IDENTIFY had seen nothing of Treasurer
Wright, for no mention of him is made
in the letter which is dated October 3rd.
Mrs. Boyd among other things says:
'I was very much surprised to hear
that Mr.. Boyd was expected back by
the China, as no one had written him
to return, though he had heard from
Treasurer Wright about the trouble,
but he promised to write full particu-
lars by the next boat, which he failed to
do, and no one has sent for Mr.. Boyd
or written him a line to come back.
He would have gone back on the
Alameda but I wanted to go with him,
so we decided to wait for the Sierra
and go on the 18th as all the good
rooms on the Alameda are taken. Then
1 did not think it worth while for him
to go and come back for me, for by
waiting ten days longer l win be able
to make the trip"

fences yesterday, and after his trip
about the east and middle lochs spent
a couple of hours on the Oahu plan
tation, overlooking the mill and the
great pumping station with its 12,00o,-
600 gallons pump. The trip was the
most extensive one which the general
will take, and it gave him the most fa-
vorable impression Of the capacity Of
the islands.
There were not a dozen In the party
which left the naval docks yesterday
morning in the steamer ]. A. Cummins
for the excursion. Capt Williamson
arranged the journey and those who
were on the ship were: Lieut.. Gen Mel

the military men. The sites for the
shore batteries We're shown from the
ship and then passing inside and up
to the east loch the Location of the va
rious essential features Of the naval
station We're pointed out and discussed.
Nbo of{ he he
lent opportunity to see all that was to
be seen about the harbor, and then the
party debarked and took a special train
which was in waiting at the end of the
line, and Immediately proceeded to Ca
hu plantation, where the mill and later
the pump We're looked over. The jour

stops, one for luncheon at Pearl City

view might be had of the Kahauiki
tract, which it is proposed to make the
site of the army barracks.
Gen. Miles said that he had enjoyed
to the utmost the opportunity to look
over the harbor and the plantations.
He said he was greatly charmed with
what he had seen and that 1t had un-
folded new ideas as to the wealth of
the island its fertility and resources
AS to the harbor he said there was no
problem that could not be met easily
and that when perhaps after some
years there was constructed the yards
and its defenses, it would give an inn
pregnable station.
After dining at the hotel Gen. Miles
and the members of the party were the
guests of honor at a reception and
dance at the Hawaiian Hotel. several
hundred people being in attendance.
The visitors were met by many of the
leading people of the city and it was an

The Friars' Land.

WASHINGTON, October 4.-Three
years is the period of time now fixed
in the minds OF the officials of the
War Department as requisite for the
complete settlement of the Philippine
Friars land question if it is to be ad-
iusted on the present basis. This ap-
pears to be an extraordinary waste of
time, but it is accounted for by the
statement that so many and compii-
Gated are the lands titles to be examin-
ed, that all the resources of the Phil
ippine civil government cannot salts
factorily adjust them in less time.

CARPENTER ON TRIAL
FEDERAL GRAND JURY RETURNED
TRUE BILL AGAINST
HIM
TESTIFIEs IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Asserts That He Acted Under His
UncIe's Directions i'm Cashing
Money Orders and With
out Wrong Intent.

A true bill was returned by the United
States grand jury yesterday against
Dwight Carpenter, the young fellow ac-
cuSed of having tried to secure money on
forged money orders at the postoffice at
Red Wing. Thereupon Carpenter was at
once brought into court and pleaded not
guilty, ana without further delay the
trial of the case was taken up.
United States District Attorney NJ. D.
Purdy is conducting the prosecution, and
the defendant is represented by +. H.
Boardman, of Minneapolis.
Young Carpenters home is in Mime
apolis, where he lived with his parents
and attended the state university.
The prosecution presented the facts in
the case as they have already been print
ed. Briefly stated, the testimony and
evidence were to the effect that Carpen-
ter had called at the postof1ce at Req
Wing to collect two money orders drawn
in the name of E. S. Gardner and pur-
porting to have been issued by j. j.
Wright, postmaster at Oxford, Wis. On
the part CT the prosecution it is further
alleged that Postmaster Wrights home
at Oxford had been robbed previous to
the time of Carpenters visit to Red Wing
and money order blanks had been stolen.
These blanks, it is alleged, had been
filed cut for various amounts, and with
various fictitious names, and were traced
by the officers who worked on the case to
the possession of one Grant Frasier, who
is a relative of Mr.. Wright, and is also
an uncle Of young Carpenter.
1t is charged that some time previous
to his arrest Carpenter had cashed two of
the worthless money orders, aggregating
in amount $500, at La Crosse, Wis.
Carpenter, in his own defense, testified
Yesterday afternoon that he had merely
nresente1l the money orders at La Crosse
and al Red Wing under instructions from
his uncle. Grant Frasier, who visited
Minneapolis about Nov. II. The youth
said he was not aware of any irregular1ty
in the money orders as to their genuine
ness, and that his uncle explained to him
that ne had had them made out in ficti-
tious names for the reason that he old
not want anybody at Oxford to know
that he was seEding money away. The
defendant declared he had not been in
oxford for more than two years, and
that he had supposed the money orders
to be regular, as they had been so repre-
scented to him by his uncle

HOME
COUPLE NOT YET LOCATED
EmpIoye at Agricultural College

by Inducing His Daugh-
ter to Run Away.

Prof. and Mrs. W.M. Hays, of the state
school of agriculture, are looking for
tEeir ffteen-ysar-o daughter, Bessie
Hays, who it is claimed eIoped Tuesday
night with Sumner Pratt, young man
employed at the school Tire present
whereabouts of the young couple are not
Known.
Chief O'ConnDr stated last night that
the police had not been notified of the al
legged elopement yer and he knew nothing
about it.
Mss Hays was a student at the school
oil agriculture and was quite a favorita
among the other students. She retired to
her room about 9 o'clock Tuesday even
ing as usual, put yesterday morning Prot.
Hays found his daughters room vacant
and a brief note on the table stating
that by the time he read the lines she
would be far beyond recall, and with
Mr. Pratt.
Pratt is a young man in the early
twenties and is a graduate at the state
agricultural college. He secured employ
mentt at the college, largely, it is under
stood, through the kindness of P;of
Hays himself. Young Pratt began to
pay attentions to Miss Hays which be-
came very noticeable, and Prof HAYS
finally decided that he would have
talk with the young man about the mat
ter A short time ago he went to the
young man, and, in fatherly spirit,
Ic-nted out to him that Lis daughtec
was too young to receive such attsn-
tons from a young man, and that Pratt
himself was at present in no position
to think of matrimony, and he advised
him to, go away for a while and apply
himself to MS work until he was in a
better position to marry, and the young
girl old enough to know her own rn1nN.
He supposed that Pratt had decided to
comply with this. request and that the
affair was ended fur a time at least.
y is not known how she made her es-
care, nor where the young people are,
but it is believed that Pratt had very
little money with him, and nothing in
the way of permanent position else
where.
At the school Pratt always proved him.
self to be model young man and was
well liked, but he seemed to be more
adapted to farm life than anything else.
Prof. and Mrs Hays feel deeply grieved
over the action of their daughter in
clipping. Prof. Hays was to have reao
a paper at the morning session Of tie
State Agricultural society yesterday, but
he failed to put in an appearance.
