"SCRUPULOUSLY
FAIR" WAS TRIAL

The Washington Star publishes the
following concerning the action OF Pres
ident Roosevelt in the Tanbara elsa
buro case:
Tanbara Gisaburo, a Japanese, was
convicted in Hawaii OF murder on the
high seas, and was sentenced to be
hanged on December 26, 1902. On De-
cember "a the governor OF Hawaii
granted an indefinite reprieve, in order
to permit the defendant to apply to
the President for clemency. The At
torney- General, in reporting the case to
the President, said that the record in
this case discloses that the petitioner
is guilty of cruel and deliberate MUIR
der. His trial was scrupulously fair,
and no reasons are disclosed that would
Justify an interference with the execu-
ton of the sentence imposed by the
trial court" He advised that the appli-
cation be denied, and that the reprieve
granted by the governor be continued
in effect until August IA, 1903. The Pres
ident denied the application, and con-
tinued the reprieve to noon of August
IA, at which time the sentence will be
executed.

Shipping Notes.

The schooner Robert Levers will sail
for Laysan Island on July 80 for load
of guano.
After helping to pull the S. s. Claver-
ing off the reef the Fearless has re-
turned to her berth at the Naval
Wharf to have her general overhauling
completed. She has not only had new
boiler tubes and condensers put In but
also has a new propeller which 1t Is
expected will make the tug more pow
erful than she was before.
Although there has been nothing set
tied about the salvage. the tugs will
probably put in n bill for large
amount. The vessel and cargo are
worth over 100000 and w. G. Irwin &
Co. can by law put in a claim for over
800, 600. 1t is possible that the matter
may go to court, but every effort will
be made to settle privately. However
that $4,000 or $4,000 will be accepted

for salvage. 1t Is not thought that
the Clavering has sustained any serious
damage as she is not leaking. She will

NAVAL COMMAND
IS TO CHANGE

Captain Rodman. acting commandant
of the Naval Station, received mail ad-
vices recently that Lieut.. Commander
A p. Niblack, U. S. N, had been APP
pointed commandant of the station
here. and would probably arrive at Ho-
nolulu on August IA on the Siberia.
He has not been appointed to the COM
mand of the Iroquois though. and he
will only be in charge of the station
until the arrival of Admiral Terry who
is expected here in September or Octo-
Der to assume entire command Of the
Naval Station.
Admiral Terry's arrival will bring
these islands into greater prominence
for it is thought that they will be or
ganized as naval district: which
means that a battalion of marines will
be kept here, and probably several war
ships will also be stationed here as
soon as Pearl Harbor is opened up.
Admiral Terry was expected last week,
and his delaying his arrival for sew
eral months seems to indicate that he
is spending some time at Washington
acquainting himself with the plans and
the improvements which the Navy De-
partment proposes establishing at Pearl
Harbor
AS Commander Niblack has been sick
in hospital in Arizona wor some time,
it is possible that he may not stay in
Honolulu any length of time.

cial Pacific Gable Co. yesterday. repeat.
ing the question put by an Advertiser
reporter.
mo, 1t cannot The retardation OF
the cable would choke the message. We
need a double current to send cable
messages. The first current clears the
cable and then a current of opposite
polarity Is used to send the message.
1t would take all day to explain just
why the cable can't be used as a tele-
phone line. oh yes, telephone messages
could be sent across a short line, and
cables are used across rivers for tele-
phoning. The heavy installation and
self induction prevent the use of the
cable for telephoning. Two currents
are used In cabling. When we make
a dot for instance, the key comes back
and makes an earth contact before the
next dot Is sent. II this wasn't done

or Interest to Mariners.

The United States photographic Of
flee made two announcements on July
10 of considerable interest to naviga-
tors. The first was that revised edi-
ton of Bowditch's American Practical
Navigator has been prepared and is
now on sale at the different agencies
of the photographic office. This valu-
able work has been practically rewrit-
ten. the matter that had become obso-
lete having been eliminated and it's place
taken by explanations Of some of the
reader methods of navigation in use
at the present day, with tables for the
same. Among other improvements the
traverse table has been extended to
distances of 600 miles.
The other interesting notice is to the
effect that the United States Hydro
graphic office has in view the publica-
ton of meteorological charts of the
South Atlantic and of the south Pa
cific oceans similar In scope to the
present monthly pilot charts of the
proposed charts will be published
quarterly instead of monthly. The
first to appear will be a chart of the
South Atlantic for the winter months
of 1904. This will be ready for dis
tribution by November /. More so now
than ever the photographic Office asks
the cooperation OF mariners. especiaI-
ly captains of sailing ships, in the
preparation Of these charts. Blank
forms FOR recording meteorological OBJ
servatlons will be supplied upon ap-
plication to the Navy Department, and
in return for this cooperation Uncle
Sam will supply the volunteer observ-
ers with the charts free OF charge and

LOCAL POLITICS

In presenting my morning compli.
ments kind Editor, let me at the same
time thank you for mentioning myself
as mover In a Citizens Party for the
coming election, and placing my name
at the head OF the movement as Can
didate FOR County Sheriff.
I am not so sure that my ambitions
will lead me to this distinction. This
desire to say. however, that If there
was ever n time in the history OF this
Territory for the good citizens to take
matters into their own hands and show
by cir votes that they will have
of "bossism" and party ma
line" in local politics, 1t Is now; espe-
tally after the strange spectacle
which this community recently wit
messed, OF a so-called republican par
ty executive conniving with republican
of the House to elect Home
Rule Speaker: and white Republicans
at that! Bah!
Yes, Friend Advertiser, I shall glad
y help to head n movement OF good
for good government. AS for
seeking the office of County Sheriff or
any other office in the gift of the peo-
pie, I regard 1t as an honor to be so
elected than to receive such appoint
ment at the hands of a centralized
md un-American COVE rnment such as
exists today.
Respectfully,
