SOME Of the North Dakota papers
roasted Miles when he had trouble with
the administration. However that grand
galaxy of men comprising the Grand
Army of the Republic enthusiastically
endorsed Miles at their recent meeting
in San Francisco. The resolutions pass
ed by that body will make refreshing
reading for those ''loyal' editors.

OuH state law makers are generally
demonstrating against the calling of a

SENATE DID NOT

at is not true" said President of the

Senate held up the County bill and pre-
vented a conference on 1t for three
days. We refused to concur in the
House amendment on Saturday. / sent
letter down at once to notify the
House of that fact, and followed the
letter in person to tell Speaker Beckley
that the next move would be to call
a conference. Also, / told Harris of 1t,
and he said that as soon as the letter
was read he would move a conference.
Speaker Beckley was issuing passes
to Molokai at the time, and he put the
letter in his pocket. Anyway, 1t never
got to the House. On Monday the clerk
of the House sent to our clerk for n
second letter. and one was written and
sent down, across the face of which l
wrote the word duplicate l do not
know what they did with that. Acted

NEW TRIAL
IS ORDERED
Verdict Again Set
Aside in Smith
Case.
(From Wednesdays doily.)

The Supreme Court. for the fourth
| time, reversed the decision of the
circuit court in the case of Henry Smith
vs.. Hamakua Mill Company, and sent
1t back for a new trial This Is the
suit brought to recover one-fourth of
the $3.50 acres of the Hamakua Mill
Company plantation on Hawaii, and
has been in the courts for thirty years.
The case was appealed solely on the
question of evidence. The Supreme
Court says: "A mere scintilla of ev.-
dence is insufficient to support I. ver
diet The verdict in this case held to
be unsupported by evidence"
The verdict was for PLAINTIFF which
Judge Robinson refused to disturb.
The defendant claimed through ad
verse possession. The opinion in the
case Is written by Judge Perry. Chief
Justice Frear adds concurring opin-
ion and Justice Galbraith dissents.
Justice Galbraith holds that to set
aside the verdict is contrary to the
Seventh Amendment to the Constltu-
ton.
This decision will establish new
precedent in the Territory, and gives
circuit judges more discretion In setting
aside verdicts, which formerly they were
chary of DONG, because the Supreme
Court had never established prece-
dent in the matter.
DECIDES CASE FORTY YEARS
OLD.
The Supreme Court also rendered
decision in the case of the kapiolani
Estate VS.. Mary II. Atchery, sustain
ing a decree entered in 1868 by Chief
Justice Allen, and which was set aside
by the circuit judge here.
The litigation, which has extended
for period of forty years, has had
many interesting turns. David Kala-
kaua claimed title to certain lands on
Molokai and in Honolulu as devised
to him by Kaniu, a chiefess. by oral
will on her deathbed. kinimaka
claimed the lands, and kalakaua was
awarded the property by the Supreme
Court in 1858. Richard Armstrong, as
administrator of the minor heirs or
kinimaka, was ordered to turn over
the property claimed by kalakaua, but
for some reason he never executed
deed, though the land was occupied by
Kalakaua. Then Mrs. Atcherly brought
suit to obtain possession, which COM
plainant sought to enjoin, but the bill
was dismissed.
The court holds that the attack on
the title resting in the Kapiolani estate,
as heirs of Kalakaua, is collateral, ana
mere errors or Irregularities cannot be
taken advantage of. In the decision,
written by Justice Perry the court
says: Under the circumstances, and
after lapse of forty-four years, we
do not think that the court should
examine into the merits of the former
proceedings, or refuse to enforce the
decree for the reasons assigned"
Judge Galbraith writes n dissenting
opinion, and Chief Justice Frear con-
ours in n lengthy opinion.

THE REASON RAW
SUGAR Is LOW

Local sugar men attribute the con-
tinued low prices of raw sugar to the
manipulation of the sugar trust. I'M
der the agreement which is had by
Hawaiian planters with the refineries,
the sugar men receive 1-32c. for every
degree over 96 that their sugar polar
ICES and for every degree under the
standard 1-16c. is deducted. Cuban SUI
gar on the other hand, which Is always
low grade and below SO test. Is brought
TO the standard and then the Hawaiian
sugar though it may be actually one or
two degrees higher Is paid for on the
parity established by the low grade Gu
ban sugar. Rightfully 1t is claimed
the Hawaiian planters should be re-
ceiying 399 cents for their sugar I'M
