work in that yard within a few feet of
the Chinamans house.
After stealing the can of kerosene
and opening the window in the office
of Gregg & Co., which window had been
fastened by Mr.. Greggs brother, the
manager of the place. on closing Sat
urday night, the incendiary made his
way around to the back yard, poured
the kerosene in through the open win
dow upon the waste basket, the oil run
ming out over the floor and the strip of
mating, dropped in a lighted match
can in his flight.
Il have not an enemy in the world"
said Mr.. Gregg yesterday. $50 far as 1
know. There are only my brother,
the bookkeeper, the foreman, and Jap
boy employed here. and none of these
have any cause for dissatisfaction. We
do not owe anybody. Our bills are
paid monthly, and our help every Sat
urday night. about two weeks ago we
employed a couple of Japs to do some
extra work. but they did not get on
with the foreman, and went away Of
their own accord after working couple
of hours. They were paid for what
they did, and did not seem angry when
they went away We frequently en-
ploy extra men in that way Nobody
has ever threatened US. and the whole
affair is a mystery There is nobody
that we can suspect
Decidedly, the whole affair is mys-
tery-but the place would have been
in ashes now if the incendiary had
known anything about ventilation.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth is at work
on the case.

ALPENA'S CAPTAIN
MUST PAY FINE

The caytain OF the schooner AIpeaa,
which came into port from Newcastle,
with coal. without licensed mate, was
yesterday fined 800 for the iIfr4ctiol
of the shipping laws. The vessel is
above 700 tons and therefore must have
two licensed officers. The same line
was laid upon the seaman who acted
as mate without the necessary papers.
The mate, shipped in the schooner for
the round trip, was discharged in the
southern port, il is said because OF
trouble with the Japanese cook, and as
one had to leave, and as there was
bond for the taking away of the Orient
al sailor, of $500 the mate was let go.

REPUBL |CANS CAUCUS
ON HOUSE OFFICIALS
Discuss Plans for Two Hours But Adjourn to
Permit Executive Committee to
Make Recommendations.

After more than two hours, consumed
in the discussion of ways and means,
the caucus cf majority members of the
House held at Republican headquarters
last evening, for the purpose of con-
sidering the filing of places in the or
ganization of the lower house of the leg
islature adjourned until this evening at
7:3O o'clock at the same place. Moth
ing was done beyond the choosing of
the Rev. S. w. Kekuewa of Hawaii, as
chaplain.
The meeting was long and earnest.
There were many factors entering into
the discussions and the nineteen mem
bers present displayed the greatest in
terest and the highest feeling in al
that was said and done. Only Henry
E. Jaeger of Kauai was absent from
the meeting, and it is expected that he
will be present this evening, thus bring
out the full strength of the party. The
only other person present during the
entire evening was Prince Cupid, who
as the leader of the party was invited
to stay after the caucus was formally
organized.
1t became evident early in the even
ing that there had been reached an
understanding between certain MEM
bers, and the hackers of Jonah KuTna-
lac for the speakership We're confident
that nothing could prevent his election
on the first ballot. To make sure of
their results it was voted early, after a
full understanding of the matter on the
part of every member of the House, that
the party should stick together, and
that the men chosen on the part of the
caucus should receive the full strength
of the Republican majority on the or
ganization of the body on Wednesday.
1t was developed too that Kumalae
would have even more votes for it was
announced during yesterday that Home
Rulers had agreed to vote for him, it
