His Suit
The Limit
ROBBED A MAN OF HIS WIFE
AND THEN SUED HIM FOR HER
KEEP.

John Stephenson has withdrawn the
suit he brought against John De Grea
YES for the support of the latter's WIFI.
This was the suit brought when De
Greaves had a divorce suit pending, and
was generally regarded as the nerviest
bit of legal scrapping on record.
Stephenson was the correspondent in
De Greaves' divorce suit. According 10
the evidence he had won the woman
from De Greaves and she had been liv-
ing with him, and this was one of the
reasons for which a divorce was asked
Stephenson came back with suit
against De Greaves for two years sup
port of De Greaves' wife. The husband
was amazed at this exhibition of nerve,
but he kept on with the divorce pro-
ceedings and finally secured the separ-
alton he was after. The correspondent
has now given up his demand for $1,000
fer supporting the woman.

EAST HAWAII HOME
RULE NOMINEES
TICKET SELECTED BY THE Ma
TIVE PARTY OF THE HILO,
PUMA AND HAMAKUA REGION.

The Advertiser this morning publish
es the following wireless telegraph dis
patch from Hilo.
HILO, September 1.-THE Home Rule
nominations today were: Supervisors
Eugene Dynon, Palau, Laluaka, Make
kau, Blacow, Sheriff Keoliinui, Auditor
Willfong, Assessor Edmunds, Attorney
John Smith, Treasurer r. Lyman,
Clerk Norman Lyman, Surveyor Cook.
Same allowance must doubtless be
made for uncertainty of spelling, in
transmission by wireless. The latest
directory of Hawaii does not contain
the name Eugene Dynon. 1t may be
intended for Eugene N. Deyo manager
of the Pepeekeo store and postmaster
at Pepeekeo. Blacow Is probably c. r.
Blacow, given in the directory as farm
err and notary, Paauilo, J. X. Palau is
given in the directory as a land owner
at Honomu. Lalauka does not appear
in the directory at all. There is no
Makekau given in the directory as resi-
dent on Hawaii though there is a
large family of that name on Maui, and
one of them r. H. Makekau was very
recently appointed deputy sheriff at
of the first territorial Legislature. The
directory does not give any Keoliinui,
nor is that strictly Hawaiian form of
word. 1t is probable the nominee for
sheriff is William NJ. Keolanui, captain
of police at Hilo.
The Willfong nominated for auditor
is probably n. c. Willfong who has
been assessor of the third taxation dis
trict, Island of Hawaii, for a number of
years. The Edmunds nominated for
Assessor is probably the Rev. William
Edmunds, an associate of the Rev.
John Kekipi in the Native Christian
Science church. He lives in Hilo.
The nominee for County Attorney Is
probably John U. Smith of Hilo, he
being the only John Smith who is an
attorney in that county.
The nominee for treasurer is Rufus A.
Lyman, deputy assessor for North and
South Hilo. He is a Republican.
Norman Lyman nominated for Coun-
ty Clerk is probably Norman X. Lymon
who is now sheriff's clerk at the court
house, Hilo.
The Cook who is nominated for Sur
veyor is probably Thomas f. Cook, a
surveyor employed by E. D. Baldwin,
who lives in Hilo.
C. r. Blacow was one of the Repub-
lican nominees for Senator from Hawaii
in 1900.
r. w. Wilcox says that the Eugene
Dynon of the wireless message is Eu-
gene Lyman, a son of Rufus A. Lyman
who is nominated for Treasurer. The
elder Lyman is a Republican but the
been chairman of the local Home Rule
organization.
Wilcox also says that the Lalauka of
tn edispatch is 7. X. Lalakea, a we'll
to-do native of Hilo.

FIRE DESTROYED
SMALL COTTAGE

' The department responded to an
alarm of fire this morning shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock. The fire was in a small
cottage on Kawaiahao street, Kewalo.
The cottage was owned by John Men
doza and occupied by the family Of
Manuel Silva. Flying sparks from a
defective stove pipe caused the fire.
The cottage was destroyed by the
flames. The Silvas lost practically
every thing they owned. About $26
in cash was under one of the beds.
This money was in the fire too and at
last reports, had not been recovered.
The fire spread to the adjoining cot
tage owned and occupied by John
Comes Clement. There was no fire
hydrant nearby. The department
saved the Clement cottage by the use
of the chemical engine and work by
bucket brigade. The Clement cottage
was burned on the side and roof. The
loss on all property amounted to about
$3.50, some of which was covered by in
surance.

A Matter
Of Doubt
FEW DELEGATES TO THE COUN-
TY CONVENTION PLEDGED FOR
MANY OFFICES.

Except i'm the case of sheriff, for
which A. M. Brown is a certainty, and
assessor, which Pratt has well landed,
the nominations to be made by the Re-
publican convention on Monday even
ing are a matter of much doubt. A
formal call for the convention has been
issued for Monday evening at 1880, at
Progress Hail. This evening the fourth
district delegates will caucus and the
result of their deliberations may settle
the fate of a number of aspirants.
1t is believed that very few of the
delegates are pledged to anyone, and
many may act Independently of precinct
club resolutions of endorsement.
The sixth precinct of the Fourth Dis
trict held n meeting last evening and
endorsed Brown for sheriff, ]. w. Pratt
for assessor Harry Murray for county
clerk, John w. Cathcart for district at
torney, r. N. Boyd for surveyor and w.
II. Hoogs for supervisor. The other su-
pervisors and the treasurer and audi
tor were left open.
Today is the day for Kauai's conven-
tion and the Republicans of that island
are supposed to be doing their nomin-
ating.

SALARY RAISES
ARE HELD UP
POST OFFICE SCANDALS AT
WASHINGTON PROBABLY HAVE
EFFECT HERE.

Even in far-off Hawaii the tremen-
dous post office frauds being unearthed
at Washington have their effect Some
of the local employees of the department
think that the troubles are responsible
for their not receiving advances in
pay, as the man who has control of the
matter is among those mixed up in the
Investigations.
Under the post office system, the de-
partment annually raises the salaries
of a large number of clerks and other
employees. The matter is supposed to
be regulated by length of service, eff
cheney, etc, and after he has served
a year or two an employe usually be-
gins to expect the welcome notice that
the department has boosted his pay.
This is the case with a number of
clerks here, who have served ever
since the federal government took the
office.
The man who is at the head of the
salary raising part of the department
however is among those who have
fallen under the ban. 1t is said that
about 5000 recommendations for raises
of salaries made by him were turned
down or shelved, as a result of his
pilikia, and some of them may have
been for Hawaii.
In view of the reports of stuffed pay
rolls and other frauds, it is thought
quite likely that the Salary raising
recommendations were looked upon as
possibly a part of the general graft,
and the whole matter will undoubtedly
be gone over again. In the meantime
there are a number of post office en-
ployes in Hawaii who think that when
Uncle Sam begins to feel liberal there
are excellent opportunities for generos-
ity in the Hawaiian post office.

Davis
Draws Now
FEELING AGGRIEvED BY THE
ADVERTISER HE DRAWS A COM
PLANT, NOT A PISTOL.

George A. Davis this morning filed a
suit for $4,000 damages for libel,
against the Pacific Commercial Adver-
tiser, on account of the publication
made this morning regarding the pro-
Ceedings at San Jose, in the James
Campbell estate. At the same time
Davis asked for a restraining order to
prevent the newspaper from publishing
libellous matter concerning him. Judge
Robinson refused to take up the matter
because it was not his week in cham
bers, while Judge De Bolt, on a show
ing that Gear whose week it is, is dis
qualified, signed an order to show
cause.
The order to show cause is based on
an affidavit of Davis to the effect that
the Advertiser has been publishing de-
famatory and libellous matter concern
ing him and that he believes that the
paper, unless restrained by the court,
will continue to do so. On this show
ing he asked that temporary injunc-
tion be issued, but De Bolt refused this
and agreed to issue an order to show
cause, returnable next Wednesday
morning at nine o'clock. The order is
directed to the editor manager and
proprietor of the Advertiser and re-
quires them to appear in court next
Wednesday, before De Bolt, and show
cause why the injunction asked Tor
should not be issued.
The libel suit sets forth the article
published this morning and declares
that it is false and malicious and that
the plaintiff has been damaged by the
publication in the sum of $4,000. The
article as set forth in the complaint
was as follows:
I'm the Superior Court of San Jose
yesterday, the proceedings to break the
trust under James Campbell's will were
dismissed.
Cecil Brown, one of the executors
and trustees under the will, received
the news by cable in the afternoon.
Thus probably ends, for good and
all, the attempt of George A. Davis and
the Gears to break into the administra-
tion of an estate whose millions would
yield fat attorneys fees if the scheme
succeeded. Davis, in related proceed
ings here revealed the line of attack,
while Judge Gear, whose relatives are
the attorneys working the California
end, emphasized the disclosure with ut
terances from the bench. 1t was a re-
lance on the Fair will case decision to
upset the control of the San Jose prop
erty by the trustees.
Attorney Davis and Judge Gear
maintained, as a matter determined.
that the will of James Campbell was
void in California, claiming further
that this was a fact which the execu-
tors and trustees admitted. The deci-
sion of the Superior Court of San Jose
would seem to knock the bottom out
of the entire contention"

GOVERNMENT owns It

Litigation over land taken for the
Waialae road widening has resulted
in an alleged discovery that land which
the government was condemning is
really government land. The land was
held by Yong Wal, under lease from
the Kapiolani estate and he brought
suit to stop the government from taxi
ing any part of it. The resulting in
vestigation will probably bring about
an action by the government to oust
both Yong Wal and the Kapiolani es-
tate, the land office records being re-
lied upon to show that the title is in
the government.

Manila, Guam and Midway. The ves-
sci experienced an uneventful trip ex-
cept for heavy weather while up in
Chinese waters, before she sailed from
Manila. The vessel stopped at Mid
way for about half a day last Monday.
Nothing of particular interest is re-
ported from the cable station. James
Walsh and Chan Quong who had been
employed at the cable station on Mid
way returned to Honolulu on the So
lace. The vessel will coal, and sail
the latter part of next week for San
Francisco and Mare Island. There
are some civilians and naval passen-
gers returning home on the vessel.

REMARKABLE TRIP
OF BARK SPARTAN

The long trip that the British ship
Juteopolis is making and the length
of time that the ship Helen Brewer is
out from Sourabaya Java for Delaware
Breakwater, has brought to mind the
experience of the American bark Spar
tan. The experience of this vessel was
such as seldom happens in the history
of the sea. 1t would not be strange
if those who have played the Helen
Brewer to arrive take heart and feel
renewed hope for that boat being re-
ported. The arrival of the Juteopolis
last Saturday 12S days from Iloilo short
of provisions, caused E. d. Tenney of
Castle and Cooke to recall the fact
of the Spartan's long trip. Mr. Bowen
also recalled the vessel.
The Spartan was an American bark.
She left New York for Honolulu the
first part of 1885, with a general cargo
for Castle and Cooke. She was to
come around Cape Horn. off the Cape
adverse weather was experienced. The
vessel was nearly two months trying to
make the cape. The Spartan was
strained and as she was making more
water than she should, Captain Cross
ley her master, decided to take an en-
tirely different course where calmer
weather would be found He accord
ingly changed his course, crossed the
Atlantic and rounded the Cape of Good
Hope.
The Spartan went up toward Japan.
In the straits of Formosa as provisions
were getting low, the captains son
who was the first officer, took a boat
and accompanied by two seamen and
c. Hebben the third officer, went to
near by island. This was the last seen
of the party 1t is thought that some
cannibal inhabitants of the place at
tackled and killed them. After cruising
about for some days, Captain Crossley
went up to Japan and reported the mat
ter to the Japanese government. A war
vessel was sent to the island but no
trace of the missing men was found
The Spartan had put into Geelung.
After leaving that port she sprung a
leak and had to go to Nagasaki for re-
pairs. She left Nagasaki but off Japan
| struck a typhoon and put into Hako-
date for repairs. After leaving Ha-
kodate, she came to Honolulu in %
days. Her cargo strange to say was
not injured. The vessel was out 25S
days from New York.
