SUGAR Trust WINS.
Demurrers to Suit for Duties Over
ruled

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Judge Ray in
the United States Circuit Court handed
down two decisions yesterday over
ruling the demurrers taken by Collec-
tor George r. Bidwell in the suit of
the American Sugar Refining Company
to recover duties upon certain sugars
brought from Panay in the Philippines
and from Porto Rico. The refining
company sued for 5S,O27, with interest
from Oct. II, 1899. in the matter of the
Philippine sugar and for $21,716 in the
Porto Rico sugar, with interest from
April IS. 1899. The plaintiff says that
the amounts were illegally exacted. and
collected by duress of the goods. Col
Iector Bidweli demurred on the ground.
in the Panay matter, that when the
sugar was shipped on March 1, 1899.
the Philippine Islands were foreign
territory, as the treaty of Paris was
not ratified by the Spanish authorities
until March 10, and by the Washington
authorities until April IL.
Judge Ray held that: 1T would seem
that merchandise is to be deemed i'm
ported on the day when it arrives at
the port of entry and not before. The
demurrer of the defendant must be
overruled with costs" The same argu-
ments were advanced by the collector
and the plaintiff in the Porto Rican
sugar matter. and the collector was
again overruled, Judge Ray stating
that: This court is of the opinion
that the transportation of the goods
on the high seas was an act preliminary
to Importation and not any part of the
Had the vessel with its
cargo been lost at sea it is clear that
the sugars would not have been i'm
ported into the United States nor would
TREY have been imported had they
been thrown overheard during the
stress of weather."

The California detectives have made
a poor showing in the chase of the
Folsom conyicts. Their pursuit was in
automobiles along highways which the
fugitives had no occasion to go near.
Whether a brass band was taken along
does not appear. but probably there
was a fife and drum corps on duty.
Reading of the spectacular chase quite
reconciles Hawaii to the byplay of its
own detectives

NOTABLE VISITOR
FROM AUSTRALIA

Honolulu has at present a visitor of
venerable years and interesting life
history. This is Squire NJ. c. Mott, OF
Ararat, Victoria, Australia. the title
here given him being his proper due
from the office of Justice of the Peace
which he holds at home. He has like
wise held the office of mayor OF his
town of which he has been a resident
for forty-six years.
Squire Mott is the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. John Mott. being the uncle of Mr..
Mott, who is one of Honolulu's most
respected old residents The Soul
left New York in 1857 for Australia by
way Of England, his mother country
When he came out TO New York he
was a clockmaker and must have been
a good one, for he found employment
in the American metropolis as a maker
Of mathematical instruments. He was
also in the employ of the Novelty Iron
Works of New York, once a famous
but now for some time
extinct.
Two years ago Squire Mott lost his
wife by death after they had lived in
happy wedlock for more than 81 years
It was this bereavement that caused
him to think of travel. From here he
will go to New York, thence perhaps on
% England. He is 50 years of age but
still hale and hearty. His brother, the |

There is nothing more amusing in
current politics than the Hearst boom
for President. 1t is a circus balloon
performance with Hearst's own hot air
as motive power, reminding the veteran
newspaper reader of the million dollar
effort Of Roswell p. Flower in 1883 to
get Presidential delegates. Flower cap
tured four at a cost of $3.50, 900 apiece
and then came down to earth holding
on to parachute. AS for Hearst. one
hears nothing about his popularity save
in his own journals, and in country
papers from whom he can buy puffs
or to whom he supplies a correspond
ence from Washington which makes
frequent mention of his name. 1t is
doubtful If the Democratic National
convention will give him single vote.

RIGHTS OF STREET TRAFFIC..
Significant Decision Rendered by the
FEEDERS Circuit Court.

Chicago Chronicle.
What are the rights Of teams and pedes-
trians on the streets al against the street
cars? A recent case in st. Louis raises the
question. 1t should have a definite answer.
A citizen OF st. Louis riding in his car
rage with member OF his family attempted
to cross a street on which a trolley car was
approaching. He did not get across quickly
enough; the motorman could not stop the
car quickly enough; the result was a col
lision and wreck with personal injuries to
the owner Of the carriage and his family.
The case was tried in the United States
courts. 1t was recently decided by the fed
eral court Of appeals for the circuit over
which Judge Caldwell presides.
The case turned on the main question Of
contributory negligence. Did the driver OF
the carriage fell to use ordinary care and
prudence in trying to drive across the
tracks ahead Of the car? Did the motor
man exercise ordinary care and prudence
in operating his car at the street crossing
where carriages and pedestrians were fire.
| quently passing?
The court held that the street cars have
no exclusive rights in the streets OF the
city. The citizen has the same rights as
the street car company at the crossing.
Each must use this right as not abusing It.
The citizen must not unnecessarily obstruct
and delay the car. The motorman must not
recklessly push his car across the inter
secting street without regard to the teams
and pedestrians on the track ahead OF him,
This is the local law everywhere.

Francisco Chronicle says in reference
to the contest that the sympathy Of the
people Of California should be wholly
with Hartman, for the reason that the
Central and Union Pacific roads form
the natural and most direct highway
for m passing between the
most important section of the Pacific
coast and the most important sections
Of the eastern states. The order of
injunction requires the defendant to
show cause on April 1 why a perma-
nent injunction should not issue and
the result is awaited with a great deal
of interest not only by the companies
concerned but also by that portion OF
the public which will be affected.
