A DEED FROM
KAMEHAMEHA
PATENT SIGNED IN 1850 INTRO
DUCTION IN ROBINSON'S COURT.
"a ANOTHER SENTENCE.

A royal patent made in 1850 and bear
ing the signature of King Kamehameha
III and an old wax seal of the kingdom
of Hawaii was introduced in evidence
yesterday in Judge Robinson's court in
the trial of the case of S. H. Kalama-
kei VS.. Henry Wharton and the Waia-
lua Agricultural company. The suit
was brought in 1900 when Perry was a
circuit judge, but did not reach trial
until now. The plaintiff claimed a one
half interest in so acres of land at Ka-
mananui Waialua, defendants claiming
full title by adverse possession.
The paper title of the plaintiffs was
established by the deed given by Ka-
mehameha, on. March 30 1850. 1t is a
torn and yellow paper and the wax seal
Is much broken. The jury held that
adverse possession had not been shown
by the defendants, and brought in a
verdict for Kalamakei.
In Judge De Bolts court PascaseO
Rellis was found guilty Of assault with
a knife, the complaining witness being

POLICE TO HOLD
MONKEY DRILL
MOUNTED OFFICERS WILL SHOW
MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE
HOW TO STOP RUNAWAYS.

There will be novel entertainment
provided the members of the legisla-
ture next Saturday afternoon by the
members of the police force. Fol some
days past the foot and mounted police
at Kapiolani Park in preparation for
..-, 0roaching drill for the legisla-
ture.
The foot police are put through the
various tactics under command of Cap
tain Parker. The mounted police drill
on foot and also on horseback. Their
work on horseback will be one of tn }
most exciting and interesting features
of the entire performance. A part of
their work is to catch runaway teams.
Until short time ago the police had
one of the horses from the department
to practice with. This animal would
be hitched to brake and started loose
in the park inside the race track, Then
the mounted officer would start in pur-
suit to try and stop the runaway. The
practice horse proved satisfactory for
while, but after a bit he caught onto
the game, and whenever he would hear
an officer riding up from hebind, he
would come to a dead stop. Inasmuch
as the average runaway team acts in
an entirely different manner, new
horse had to be secured. This morn
| ing the new horse took altogether too
| kindly to the runaway stunt, for he
| got beyond control and upset and
smashed the brake.
The drill for the legislature is to oc-
cur Saturday afternoon al $3.50 O'Clock.

ACHI LEFT
THE SENATE
SENATOR THOUGHT THERE WAS
UNNECESSARY DELAY SENDING
HIS BILL TO THE HOUSE.

There was quite an acrimonious in
cident in the Senate this morning over
the delay in getting the resolution ap-
preparation $4,000 to pay the expenses
OF the fire claims, to the house for con-
current action.
Senator Achi said that there was un-
necessary delay. He complained to a
number of the members about the mat
ter and asked why the resolution was
not taken up at once by the printing
and revision committee and hurried to
the house.
4 The delay appears to have been due
to the failure of the printing committee
to revise the resolution and send it to-
the house. The typewriter copy was
given to Senator Cecil Brown the chair
man this morning. The Senator did
not have time in which to revise it
however as there were various amend
ments, so the matter could not be sent
to the house for the morning session.
Senator Achi was not apparently
aware of the reason for the delay and
if he had been he probably would not
have felt satisfied that there was any
reason for his measure being side
tracked as he seemed to think had been
done with it. When he found that the
measure would not receive attention as
soon IS he considered it should, he left
the Senate.
outside, he delivered his mind quite
freely. he declared that he thought it
very unwise and foolish for the Senate
to waste time with less important
matters. The measure should be sent
without delay to the house he declared
so that the money could be received at
once from Washington.

LET'S BOARD
HEALTH ALONE

The judiciary Committee reported on
quite an important matter this morn
ing relating 10 the Board of Health.
The report was made on Senate Bill
No. Al as follows:
"The Judiciary Committee to whom
was referred Senate Bill No. Al report
that the object of the bill is to take
away from the Governor and place with
the Senate the approval required by
section II of Act so of the laws of
1896, and being section 962 of the Penal
Laws, to the rules and regulations
made by the Board of Health, which
rules and regulations after their APP
proval and publication have the force
and effect of law.
I'VE do not think that bill should
pass, for the reason, that at some time
when the Senate was not in session eX-
igencies might arise that required i'm
mediate action and the promulgation
of new rules and regulations, these
rules and regulations If this act should
pass would be useless and of no force
or effect not having had the approval
of the Senate.
1T would be too expensive and inn
| practicable to cali special session for
the purpose solely of approval.
We therefore recommend that the
| bill be laid on the table"
The report was adopted. Minor mat
ters were reported upon all favorably.

FREEDOM THEIR wATcHwoRD
Independent Workingmen Are Or ganized to Fight Union Tyranny.

New York Sun.
 Emmett Hildebrandt, chairman of a committee representing the Elmira. N. Y., workingmen, who have organized the In dependent Labor League of America, is sending out to workers through the State blank applications for membership in the movement. The motto of the League is taken from Emerson:
 Of what avail the plough or sail,
 Or land, or life. if freedom fall?
 To become a member each applicant must declare that he believes a proper regard for personal independence among citizens of the United States Is essential to the prosperity of the nation." The ob- jects of the League are set forth as fol- lows:
 First-To protect independent workmen in their independence.
 Second-To oppose strikes and lockouts, boycotts and blacklsts.
 Third-To obtain higher wages, shorter hours and better conditions. by (a) More intelligent application of our energies; (b) Harmonious cooperation with our em- ployers; Co Legitimate business methods.
 Fourth--To furnish favorable conditions boys may become successful workmen.
 Fifth-To compel officers of the local, State and National governments to en- force the laws and to compel labor unions and others to observe the laws.
 Sixth-To protect members against un- just treatment from employers by due process of law.
 Seventh-To provide an employment bu- reau for members.
 Eighth-To provide means for members to guard against sickness and accident.
 Ninth-To provide educational opportu- mites for al. members.
 Tenth-To provide. in all lawful ways, for the welfare of the members and the maintenance of their rights under the laws and the Constitution of the United States

Good Roads and Free Delivery.

One of the greatest arguments for good roads is the rural free delivery.
 The last report of the Postoffice Depart ment says:
 Rural free delivery service has become an established fact. It is no longer in the experimental stages. and undoubted- ly Songress will continue to in crease the appropriation for this service until the people of the country are reached, where it is thickly enough settled to warrant 1t. The esti- mates of the department are to the effect that the available territory for this serv- ice embraces abou one million square miles. or one-third of the country's area exclusive of Alaska. The II $50 routes now in operation cover about one-third of the available territory. The rapid extension of the service will, of course, increase the deficits during the next three years. After it is completed the revenues will quickly whatever deficit may be occasioned will gradually disappear. It will also he in- teresting to note that rural free delivery carriers received applications during the last year for .946 money orders.
 Specific instances have been brought to the attention of the department where the prompt delivery of live stock quota tiOns. indicating a temporary glut in the market to farmers intending to ship to the stockyards, by enabling them to hold back their shipments till the markets re- stunned their normal conditions, has saved the individual cattle raisers more than the total cost of one years rural delivery over the routes on which they lived.
 Without good roads there can never be a satisfactory rural delivery"

uNsouND REASONING.

The Birmingham Ledger. in the course of an editorial on the canal question says;
 Senator Morgan is a lawyer. and i'm s;sted that the title should be clear and that every step taken be amply covered hy the treaty in plain words. The rest of us want the canal started and the treaties uuarreled over afterwards. . Without going into any discussion of the right or wrong of Senator Morgan's position. which the future only can set t,e. we submit that The Ledger's reason ing is decidedly faulty. What sensible or prudent man would set to work to build fine house and leave the title to the land to be ''quarreled over after wards?" It is almost impossible to estl- mate the ultimate cost of that canal. The figures that can or may be made in ad- vance are only speculative. at best, and may require to be doubled or trebled be- lore the work is completed. Billions of dollars may have to be substituted for the millions calculated on.
 Under such well known circumstances did not common prudence and ordinary business sense demand that there should be no doubt of our governments rights. obligations and privileges in the matter? Was it good policy to leave treaties and treaty obligations to be quarreled over after the work has begun and when the success of the project may be imperiled? As before stated. we are not proposing to discuss Senator Morgan's position in it's entirety, further than to say that he knows more about the subject than any man living, and we believe he was hon. estly and sincerely trying to protect the interests of his country. Whether he was altogether or only partially correct the future will determine. but certainly we cannot agree with The Ledger's reason Ing.

In Line With His Views.
Pensacola News.

fenSacOla News.
 We publish today in another column what Senator Morgan of Alabam has to say about the next Democratic platform. Will any one. after reading his views of what constitute true Democratic prin- ciples, have the effrontery to say that Senator Morgan is not a Democrat? He says he would recommend the reitera- ton of the cardinal principles that ob- tained with the party prior to the Civll War, and the elimination of the issues of temporary nature since that time !" That's 1t exactly. We want the broad fundamental principles that have constl- tuted Democratic platforms from Jeffer- son and Jackson down to Tilden and Cleveland. and no more side-tracking after temporary hobbies which can't serve for but one campaign. A party may very properly declare Its policy upon the current issues before the country, but when 1t abandons all its time -nonored principles, and makes the disposition of the Philippines. or the tax on oleomar- gerine the paramount issue, there will be confusion in the camp. As Senator Morgan says: We Democrats follow principles and not leaders, as members of the church follow doctrines and not preachers" A true. bourbon Democrat believes in a fixed political creed, which has been handed down by the fathers and pillars of the party just as church mem-
 bers have their creed. and to espouse new and false doctrines is heresy. The next national convention will adopt platform of principles. and we expect to see them very much in line with Senator Morgan views
