The trans-Pacific cable will be laid,
unless there is a break in laying it, by
November 1 of this year, and as far as
Mr. MaCkay is concerned the date may
be fixed upon as certain" This is the
practically authoritative statement of

the definite arrival of the long-looked-
for wire. 81 am anxious" said Mr.
Dickinson 10 have the cable once
laid always laid, that is l do not wish
to have the wire working satisfactorily
for three or four years and then have
to fish for il while the communication
is interrupted. We would in such Il
case grappIe for it with steamer
expect that one will be kept here, this
being an important point; but we in
tend to lay the cable in such manner
that there will be no breaks. That is
the reason why l am SO particular
about the landing place. 1t is the APP
prOach that we are looking for.
"The service of a cable by sea is real
ly much more accurate than by land.
There are many more liabilities of ac-

EIGHT INDICTMENTS
GRAND JURY MAKES A PARTIAL
REPORT.
Court Asked for Instructions as to
Excuses From Voting-Supreme court
Sustains Little.

The Grand Jury reported to Judge
Robinson this morning and asked for
instructions on some questions that
have arisen during the deliberations in
the throne room. Eight indictments
have been found and will be reported
as soon as they are made out and sign
ed, and in two cases no bills have been
found, These are the cases of Hama
motto, assault with a weapon, and Mel
cardO, larceny. Judge Robinson order
ed the charges against the men DISMISS
ed.
Foreman Cooke inquired whether
stockholders in a corporation were dis
qualified from voting in a case of lar
ceuy where the corporation was inter-
ested. Judge Robinson replied that a
mere stockholder was not disqualified,
but that a director or officer of a cor
poration should not vote in such a
care.
= +. Colburn wanted to know if a
juror had a right to be excused from
voting, and was told that juror might
be excused. In reply to a question the
court stated that if several jurors for
reasons of their own, wanted to be eX-
cused from voting on any indictment,
they might be so excused.
The Supreme Court today rendered a
decision in the case of Charles II.
Fairer, trustee of the estate of x. Toni
shima, bankrupt against H. Hackfeld,
sustaining the decree of Judge Little
of the Fourth Circuit Court. Before he
became a bankrupt, Tomishima was
heavily indebted to Hackfeld and Com
pany, and it was claimed that a number
of transactions by which the firm made
collections were in violation of the laws
as to preferred creditors in bankruptcy
proceedings. The court holds on the
{ CHI hot
creditor had reasonable cause to believe
at the time when the property of the
bankrupt to be was obtained, that the
latter was insOlvent. Without know
ledge of this state of affairs there could
be no voidable preference.

SOLDIERS AS LAWYERS
LIEUTENANT NEWTON CAUSES
SURPRISE TODAY.
He Conducted Defence of One of Sol
diers From Camp Mckinley and Had
Man Discharged.

Lieutenant Newton, U. S. A, surpris-
ed everybody in Judge WilcOX's court
this morning by appearing to defend j.
+. Finney, one of the soldiers at Camp
Mckinley, who had been arrested on a
charge of Needless driving. If Lieuten-
ant Newton can command a battery
half as well as he handled the defence
o. Finney, Honolulu need never fear an
Invasion.
The case was not very strong in the
first place, but Newton handled the de-
fence in an unusually able manner. He
seemed to take as naturally to the law,
as a duck to water, and he showed un-
usual ability as a cross examiner, in
addition to possessing a knowledge of
court procedure.
Finney was driving the ambulance
on the way from Camp Mckinley and
crossed the road to the left hand side
in order to avoid a rough part of the
street A native wfo was riding a BIZ
cycle on that side of the road, claimed
that one of the government mules had
collided with him and broken his bicy-
Gle.
From the evidence of a street car
driver, it was shown that there had
been ample room for the defendant to
have avoided the mule and, further
more, Finney was driving the mules at
q walk when the bicycle collided with
the mule.
In fact as Lieutenant Newton eX-
pressed it, nobody but the mule seemed
to have any cause for grievance. The
court discharged the defendant.

SMASHED HER TRUNK.

Peahi was before Judge Wilcox again
today to answer to a charge of assault
and battery on KahOomaoe on Liliha
street the other evening The woman
testified that she had put on nice
clean dress and placed a red flower in
her hair in the hopes of pleasing her
kane, but instead of being pleased, Pc
ahi became incensed from some cause,
and pIucked the flower from her hair
and then tried to stick her head into
the stove.
She demurred and her howl of haul
in" aroused one of the policemen who
went to see the cause of the trouble.
In his rage Peahi threw the woman's
trunk out of the house and smashed
the trunk. Peahi was penitent in court
and protested his intention of having
the trunk mended. Judge Wilcox said
that that was a sort of graveyard re-
pentance and instead of throwing bo-
quets at his wife, Peahi had thrown
her trunk out of the window. The de-
fendant was given a severe lecture and
dismissed.

YOLOOK FOR CHANNEL
CABLE SURVEYOR WILL GO TO
WAIKIKI
Expert Dickinson to Thoroughly Search
The Reef in a Canoe For Possible
Channels.

S s. Dickinson, in charge of all the
prefiminaries connected with the land
ing of the Pacific cable will quietly de-
vote several days to the close study of
the reef at waikiki. The study of the
charts and the information given him
by Surveyor Wall has broadly ac-
quainted him with the difficulties to be
overcome in passing the wall of the reef
and the possible points of entrance
which he will now investigate at closer
range.
The chief trouble lies in the terrible
chafing and consequently short life that
the cable will be subjected to in cross
ing the sharp coral barrier. 1t is also
important that the wire be laid in the
line of the general trend of sea and tide
so that there will be as little friction
as possible over the rocky bottom where
the cable rises out of the deep and
climbs the reef. The wire is well pro-
teCted and will have especial coverings
to fit the circumstances but unless
channel of some depth is found through
the barrer, it will be almost impossible
to armOr the cable sufficiently to last
any considerable tine. With the wire
laid in exactly the line of the sea of the
sea on the beach, a south wind would
be liable to chafe the cable so that a
very few days of kona would mean an
overhauling for repairs.
Il am going to go out to Waikiki for
a few days" said Mr.. Dickinson where
l expect to engage the services of a
couple of native boatmen and a canoe
for quiet and exhaustive survey of the
reef. From a point on Diamond Head
to which / climbed l have been able,
with the excellent charts furnished me,
to pick out the possible channels
through which the cable may be able
to come. 1t is a good deal like coming
your way into an unknown lagoon,
abounding in shadows and reefs, from
the topmast of your ship. You can see
the channels by the varying shades of
the water and from Diamond Head the
sea near the shores spreads out like a
panorama to which the charts furnish
the description.
"Of course 1 know just exactly what
requirements are needed to make a
landing and l am in hopes that l can
find a natural opening that will serve.
l am going to go over the reef very
thoroughly. Admiral Merry has fur
nished me with great deal of valuable
information about the reef that win
greatly aid me. The natives who fish
along the reef should know something
about channels in places that have not
needed rigorous surveys. l wish there
was another eminence like Diamond
Head closer to the harbor It would be
of great use in the search.
What l want most of all is some
information about Midway Island but
at the present outlook 1 shall have to
be content for a while with the very
meagre details which | have CLEANED. l
have my other data practically compile
te and can soon clear up other business
arrangements once | determine how to
bring the cable in"

THOSE BEER LICENSES
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILL ASK
WRIGHT'S INTENTION.
Treasurer May Be Proceeded Against
For Contempt-Win Be Brewerys
Turn Next.

The antisalOOn-primO beer question
remains temporarily in status quo
pending negotiations between Assist
ant Attorney ]. j. Dunno and Treas
urer Wright The attorney will see
the treasurer and ask him if he seri-
ously cOntemplates carrying out the
course of non-action which he is said
to have adopted in regard to the revok-
ing of the licenses of the beer saloons
selling the amber Primo
1t is generally understood that if the
Territorial treasurer persists in declar-
ing himself opposed to any action in
the matter; proceedings for contempt
OF Judge Estee's court in not carrying
out the full spirit of the judges in
junction will be started. None of the
licenses have expired since that deci-
sion was given but the district at
tOrney holds that the mere continuance
and non-revocation of the present Ii
censes constitutes contempt. The anti
saloon party are awaiting the result
of the interview meanwhile.
The right of the brewery to continue
the manufacture of malt liquors is for
the time being also in allegiance while
the sinews of war are being gathered
in, preliminary to the legal fight in the
courts. There is a general law against
the brewing of malt and spirituous Ii
quors in the territory, and the brewery
has opened up under a particular law
passed some fifteen years ago and now
alleged to be obsolete which granted
brewing privileges for the term of tif-
teen years. This term eliminated last
February. The treasurer issued an
other license, which is, it is claimed by
the Anti-SaloOn League and it's legal
advisers, illegal and void. The brew
cry men are awaiting the action of the
League claiming that it is their move
next"

A NERVOUS TASK.
The Trials of Plate Glass Contrac.
tors.

The placing of the numerous sheets
of plate glass in the Sachs building is
a task that is likely to- incapacitate the
force of men who are experimenting
the job. There are nearly dozen large
sheets to be placed in position and the
contrary nature of the material makes
the office no snecure. The glass is or
the most contrary nature and will
break without perceptible jar or ap-
parent cause Some slight flaw in the
crystallization, a tiny bump in the
frame that receives it and a hundred
dollars is likely to be lost, literally at
a crack Sometimes the whole glass
goes, sometimes the bulk may be sa-
we'd by careful cutting off a damaged
strip.
H. II. Simpson who was in charge Of
the work for Levers and Cooke sue
cumbed to nervous Indigestion after a
day or two at the work with i'll luck
attending, and to-day W. w. Harris
vice president of the firm, took his
place. One of the big lights after be-
ing gingerly and carefully raised in po-
sition, was being frightened against the
frame when the crack came extending
several inches. A certain percentage
is allowed for breakage and a contract
or is esteemed more than ordinarily
lucky if a big job is completed without
any loss The big pane was saved al
most intact this morning by careful
cutting but 1t will have to fit a small

CHINESE SOCIETY NEVER HAD
ANY.
Charter Members the Only Members
and Original Officers Held over for
Sixteen Years.

The United Chinese Society tangIe
was before Judge Gear again this
morning, but little progress was made,
owing to the difficulties of getting i'm
evidence. Lorrin Andrews, attorney
for the COnsuls faction, claimed that
there had never been a legal election OF
officers Of the society for l6 years, un-
Ill last January, when the officers who
were bringing the present suit To- eject
the Bow Wong set Of officers We're
erected.
"The meetings and elections have
been held for years by men who were
not members of the ouciety at an said
Andrews. There never were any
members elected at all, during the life
of the society, until last January. The
only members up to that time were the
original charter members, and the list
of them was destroyed in the China
town fire.
There have been a whole lot of peo-
pie known as the Bow Wong aEgrega-
ton. calling themselves the Chinese
United Society They held meetings
by simply calling their crowd together
and electing themselves members and
officers. They were never elected MEM
bers. Finally after years of the gross
est violations of the bylaws Treasur-
er Wright steps in and says iJ must
stop. We claim that the original set of
officers, elected when the society was
formed, have held office ever since
then, because no other officers were
elected legally. Last January these
original officers and charter members
called meeting and elected new mem
bers and the officers who are the plain
tiffs in this action were chosen. These
officers. the charter members and the
new members regularly elected by
them. are all plaintiffs in this action"
Judge Siliman claimed that the old
officers had not held over but had been
succeeded by the de facto officers who
are admitted to have been in posses
sion. He proceeded to quote authort-
ties to sustain his contention.
The plaintiffs want Judge Gear to de-
clare their set of officers the legally
elected ones, or to make an order call
ing another election in the society.

Trophy For POLO RACE.
H. w. Foster Offers Silver Mounted
Calabash.

The jockey club list of prizes has been
enriched by the offer of another trophy
which will be hung up for the polo race
under certain conditions. w. II. Fos-
ter, the jeweler, offered to the executive
committee yesterday a cup for one of
the races which will make a trophy well
worth going for The cup consists of a
handsome calabash of selected koa and
hand made 1t is mounted in silver and
will be appropriately surmOunted with
some emblem typical of the style Of
race for which the trophy is intended.
A suitable engraved inscription will be
added.
The executive committee suggested
the polo race as the one to which to at
tach the prize and Mr.. Foster expressed
his Willingness if the race was to be all
that its title embraced and taken up by
the members of the polo association.
As this promises to be the case, the
gentlemen riders will have two trophies
to compete for Several of the ponies
are still up country but will probably
be brought in by their owners in the
course of a day or two. If the MEM
bers of the association fail to take in
terest in the polo race Mr.. Fosters S
handsome and valuable trophy will be
hung up for some other event.
