The water receipts of the city for
the month of October were l3 per cent
greater than during the corresponding
month last year.
The receipts come from the first
water district, that part of the city

the many new houses that have been
built in Spokane during the year.

"Joe Grimm, the Italian pugilist, is
able to stand the terrible beatings to
which he has lately been subjected
simply owing to the fact that he is
in possession of very small brain
He is of such a low order of intelli-
gence that his nerves, which carry
the news to his brain when he is
hurt, find a very chilly reception.
Slow to grasp the idea that he has
been hurt at all. and then not able to
take hold of 1t with one-half the sense
of pain of a human being of ordinary

almost killed before beaten into in

Carter, speaking to members of the
press yesterday, said he would have a
consultation with Commissioner Mac

New Years to decide on the whole
matter.
Personally, the Governor was in IA
vor of limiting the exhibit to that of
the educational department, which
ought In his opinion to bring the entire
expenditure within $4,000 1t was a
very excellent display and should stand
well in the competition for prizes. Be-

1t was the intention Of the Yorktown
to raise the siege. 1t was decided to
send Ensign STANDBY and quarter
master Lysac ashore to reconnoiter.
On April II, 1899, boat with the scouts
was sent away from the warship at
a. m. in charge of Lieut.. Commander
Gilmore. The boat crew was COM
posed of Chief Quartermaster Walton,
Sailmaker's Mate Voudoit, Coxswain
Ellsworth, Gunners Mate Nygard,
Seamen Rynders, Woodbury., Briso-
lese and Mcdonald, and Landsmen
Dillon, Morrissey, Edwards and Ander-
son, and Apprentices Venville and Pc
terson. The oars We're muffled, the
boat was steered into a cove and the
scouts landed.
The officer thought the Filipinos on
guard had been outwitted when sud-
denly dawn shed a light over the boat
and heavily wooded country, exposing
them to view. The boat was dropped
gently down toward the open water
when suddenly volley was poured in
on them by the Filipinos. 1t was an
aNnDusn. MOrrlSSey was shot through
the head and killed. Dillon was struck
IN the eye and killed. Rynders, with
HIS hands on his oars had the fingers
of one hand severed, but he kept on
rowing. Walton and Voudot were
working the Colt maxim, when a shot
severed the ammunition tape and shat
tered the box, rendering it useless.
Mcdonald and Nygard fell mortally
wounded. Blood was everywhere on
the boat and men We're falling at their
oars.

procured a revolver which he pointed
at Mauna as he advanced. Edwards
claims he intended only to frighten
the native, but at any rate, while the
gun was levelled at Mauna, he pulled
the trigger and the ball, 3s-caliber,
struck Mauna in the right leg about

GOVERNOR CARTER
MAY BE DELEGATE

The Republican Central Committee
received word by the Alameda's mail
that Hawaii Is allowed six delegates
to the Republican National Convention.
Formerly this Territory has had but
two delegates.
Governor Carter will probably head
the delegation at Chicago. He stated
yesterday that he would like to go, and
this is all the Territorial convention
Will want to know, doubtless, to make
the Governors election spontaneously
unanimous, The convention elected
by last years primaries Will be con-
vened for electing the delegates. It
has until May Il to act. Six alter
mates are also to be chosen.
Besides the Governor, Senator Clar-
ence l.. Crabbe and District Attorney
r. w. Breckons are mentioned as prob
able choices. Governor Carter says
that as Governors of big sovereign
States go as delegates to National con-
ventions, there could be no improprie-
ty in the delegateship OF the Governor
of the little Territory of Hawaii.

PROTECTION
OF RECORDS
Vault for the Judiciary
Department Almost
Completed.

1t was intended to have moved the
valuable records OF the Judiciary De-
partment into the fireproof vault just
constructed yesterday, but Chief JUS
tice Frear decided that the interior OF
the vault should first be plastered. The
transfer of documents was therefore
postponed.
The Chief Justice considered there
was danger that insects would work
through the seams of the brick walls
and attack the contents of the vault.
Plastering would prevent this. 1t has
been suggested that an admixture of
corrosive sublimate, or other poison, in
the plaster would be u still further as
surance. There may be danger of in
sects being introduced in the old wood
en- cases, which might be averted by
some process of fumigation.
There will not be room for all of the
court records in the vault, which only
occupies the space of former PASSAGE
way between the main corridor up
stairs and the rear balcony of the Judi
ciary building. Therefore. first prefer
ence in storage will be given to records
pertaining to title, such as original
wills. the old record books of the SUI
preme Court back to the foundation of
the Hawaiian Judiciary system, ETC. II
there We're means available to provide
modern filing cabinets, 1t would great
ly economist space. As 1t is, the cum
bersome old wooden cases are to \be
placed in the vault. The appropriation
is so scrimp, indeed, that the plaster
ing of the interior has to be done on
credit.
An old law prescribed that original
wills and documents relating to title,
belonging to the country districts,
should be sent to Honolulu for safe
keeping. But, as there has not been
any freproof repository for such pa
pers in Honolulu, the law has been
treated rather as n dead letter 1t will
be respected.
The vault has floor and ceiling OF
concrete supported with angle-iron.
one side and two end walls are of
brick, the other side wall being the old
of concrete between the pas
sageway already mentioned and the
clerks office. In view of considerable
talk of late about changes in public
the structure is "A fairly
good makeshift for the present.

GILL MORE'S EXPERIENCES WITH THE TAGALS|
Executive Officer of Cruiser Cincinnati Was
Captured in the Philippines and Narrowly
Escaped Execution In WiIds Of Luzon.

Three years ago today a party of
eight ragged. half-starved men, accom-
panied by large number of American
soldiers were shooting down the rapids
of the Abulug River in the northern
part of the Island of Luzon. They
were on their way to the town of
APART where soldiers of the United
States army awaited them. The eight
ragged men were headed by Lieut.
Commander ]. C. Gilmore, now the
executive officer aboard the United
States cruiser Cincinnati lying in the
harbor of Honolulu, and they had just
been rescued from the Filipinos after
enduring eight months captivity
among the savage tribes of Luzon.
The story of Commander Gillmore's
capture and captivity was one of the
most dramatic features of the early
part of the war in /the Philippines.
During this time the officer was be-
lieved to have died or been executed
by his savage captors, but he and his
companions, mostly men of the gum
boat Yorktown, withstood the rigors
imposed upon them and faced death
often without flinching.
One of the most interesting relics of
Lieut. Commander Gillmore's long cap
tivity is the bowl and spoon which he
used in this time. Both are aboard
the Cincinnati and are practical DEM
onstration of the old adage that me
cessity is the mother of invention"
The bowl is the third of a cocoanut
and the spoon is but a strip of cocoa
nut shell with natural bowl. Most
of the food which the captive was able
to procure during his captivity was
eaten from this bowl.
Mr.. Gilmore had just been attached
to the gunboat Yorktown when the
vessel was ordered to Baler, a town on
the eastern coast of Luzon where a
small Spanish garrison had been be-
leagured by the Filipinos for a year.
