IS GETTING A
NEW PROPELLER
BRITISH STEAMER ISLEWORTH Is
RAILWAY WHARF.

The S. S. Isleworth is putting on
new propeller. The vessel can not of
course, go on the marine railway for
such a purpose, as she is too large.
Captain Sherborne is therefore adopt
ing the usual means of putting on the
new propeller by fitting his vessel
down by the head. All of the cargo
in the after part of the ship has been
discharged so as to bring her stern out
of water. The propeller is now out of
the water and a force of men is at
work removing the old wheel.
The reason that the change is neces-
sary is the fact that the vessel injured
most of the blades of the old wheel
while she was anchored off Ocean ISL
and loading guano for this port An
extra propeller was carried aboard in
anticipation of such an emergency as
the present and as soon as the old
wheel is off the new propeller will be
substituted. 1t will take several days
to complete the work.
The first time that this operation was
accomplished in Honolulu was with
the transport Warren nearly two years
ago. The vessel broke a couple Of
blades on her propeller. She started
from Honolulu for Manila but one Of
the remaining blades broke off and it
was necessary for her to return to
Honolulu. The vessel was tilted for
| ward in the same fashion that Is being
| done with the Isleworth, and new
propeller but into place. That work
required considerable time with the
Warren. 1t is not expected that the
| Isleworth will require so long The
Isleworth is expected to get away from
Honolulu for Ocean Island about the
middle of the month

FERRIS IS TOLD
THE GOOD NEWS
PALE, WEAK AND TREMBLING
AND WITH DIRE FOREBoDINGs
HE is TOLD HIS NECK IS SAVED.

Yesterday afternoon in Oahu Jail
Murderer Ferris was told of the Cow
ernor's decision to commute his sem
tence, by e. c. Peters, VINO has been
his attorney. Ferris made a some
what pathetic expression of thanks.
He was called from his cell by Warden
Henry and brought into the office to
receive the first visitor he has had dur
| ing 'norths Of solitary confinement.
| The murderer appeared to fear that
the summons meant news that all eff
forts in his behalf were over and he
was weak and pale and trembling. AS
soon as he was told of the Governors S
decision he repeated his former claim
that he had acted in self defense when
he killed Watson. Il am 40 years of
age and have been very ILL., said Fer
ris, "and L don't think 1 shall live to
serve twenty years hard labor, but l
am thankful to the Governor for saw
ing me from hanging. l will try to be
a model prisoner.
Il killed Watson in self-defense, but
jury found me guilty and that set
! ties it. Everything possible has been
done for me and 1 am very thankful
| for it,
The change in Ferris standing as IL
Iprisoner means an end of his solitary
confinement in a cell in murderers' row.
He will now be put to work with other
prisoners, as his health makes work
possible.

M|SSPELT WORD
IN INDICTMENT
A NEW POINT RAISED IN THE
MURDER CHARGES AGAINST
JONES.

The Jones murder indictments were
taken under advisement again this
morning, by Judge Gear, on techni-
cal objection to them. Jones was in
court to plead again, but the case did
not get that far. In arguing the de-
murrer Robertson made the point that
the word premeditated was spelt pre-
medidated."
Deputy Atorney General Peters said
that the error was of no consequence.
1t didn't deceive anyone and was pure
ly a clerical mistake, not justifying
any action by the court declaring the
Indictment void.
81 came across a case a few days
ago. said Judge Gear, "in which a
court declared that an Indictment
was void because the word feloniously
was srelIed "falouiouslyJ" l don't
know just how far 1 ought to go III
such a matter, or whether I have a
right to declare that this word is
premeditated.'
Peters said that the point was nov
el one and that he was willing to sub
init authorities if the court wanted
them, and Judge Gear took the mat
ter under advisement to two O'Clock

same time whose attention was called
to the same course of attack on the
part of the newspaper, which, II it
was stated in any other place would
involve serious results. The same
newspaper stated that no native jury
ever convicted a native, and put all
Hawaiians in the same class. The
jurors undoubtedly know the course
that was taken. That was in the
newspaper a week ago last Sunday.
Still the work has been going right
along in cases before the court. 1
cannot blame thf juror, nor the Jurors,
for taking offence at the article. 1t
shows to what lengths the newspaper
will go when there Is nobody to res
train 1t. 1t would call the judges to
account l suppose, but the judges don't
draw the jury. The first judge of the
First Circuit Court draws all the
jurors, and the jury was drawn by
chance and lot The juries in the
Hawaiian Islands always consist most
ly of Hawaiians, because of their num-
bers, and for any newspaper to make
comments such as are made shows a
want of intelligence, politically at least

THE RED FISH

NATIVES DECLARE VISIT OF RED
FISH LAST MONTH FORETOLD
OUTBREAK OF MAUNA LOA.

The omen of the red fish is changed.
in the royal family of a change in the
government of the islands. They
foretell volcano eruptions too Nearly
month ago every native on the wa
ter front was worrying and talking
about the presence of vast school of
the alalauwa or red fish. The fish
came into the harbor and strange to
relate, they refused to be taken with
hook and line. The natives felt cer-
tain that the visit of the fish foretold
either of the usual occurrences. The
that belief.
Now that the big mountain has
broken out in such a vast eruption Of
lava and fire, the natives are recalling
the fact that the red fish visited the
harbor about a month ago. The boat
boys were full of the story this morn
ing. They declared that they knew
that the red fish would foretell some
big occurrence A few days after
the fish came and departed, warning
| of the eruption was given by Mokua-
WeoweO. Three columns of fire shot
into the heavens and then subsided.
No further outbreak was reported from
the big mountain. The natives now
declare that the night after the fish
left this harbor, the fire famed from
the volcano and now the double warn
ing has come to pass for the mountain
is belching forth fire and smoke and
lava

on this jury now, and I for one think
Il is an insult, and l feel now that l
cannot pass upon this case, on the
merits of the case, and also on the tes-
timony. The idea of a criticism of
that sort before the case has been
passed upon by the jury it has really
made me feel that 1 cannot sit on this
case at this time. l think the criti-
cism about the case has been passed
on by the jury, but think when a case
is going on at this time l think it is
improper for any newspaper in Homo
lulu to comment on the jury, or make
any such reflection as that, and 1 feel
] cannot but speak out frankly, and
cannot sit on this case, although the
case has gone halfway through. and 1
feel my opinion of the case is settled
now. 1t mentioned this morning only
one white man." and 1 think it is an
insult to the rest.

to see the course taken by the said

that you would not expect from that
source.
This matter having been brought up
by one of the jurors. it seems to me
proper for the Attorney Generals De-
partment to take cognizance of the
fact.
Mr. Fleming. If the court please, I
wish to say no one regretted the article
in the paper more than | did this
morning, because no such consideration
influenced me in any of my challenges.
and I do not think Mr.. Long was in
fiuenced in any of his challenges by
any such consideration as appears in
the paper this morning. This jury
is perfectly satisfactory to me, and
1 believe they will do Justice between
the Territory on the one hand and the
defendant on the other. 1 do not
think it is a matter that should be
brought up. / am satisfied with the
jury. satisfied to go ahead, and have
no criticism to make on it.

the head of my department.

in the Advertiser regarding race lines

feeling was shown in the discussion of
the proposition in court.
The published statement complained
of was as follows:
