Tho Pakapio Cases

The pakapio cases on appeal fro m
the District Court to Judge Kalua
in chambers came on for hearing on
Wednesday. Deputy Attorney
General Peters came over to assist
the prosecution and the defense was
represented by Attorney Jas l.
Coke OF Waikiki and Attorney D FL
Case of Honolulu.
The prosecution raised the point
that appeals in such cases could not
be taken to the Circuit Judge in
chambers, but that the law provides
that they must be taken to the Cir
cult Court, to be tried in term.
The point was deliberately argued
by ths attorneys and was 'aken into
consideration by the Court, who
rendered an opinion on Thursday
morning that the poiut OF the
prosecution was not we'll taken, and
ordered the casa tried.
A Chinese interpre or was reouir-
ed, and the Court objected to the
local interpreter, consequently a
wireless message was at oncs sent to
Honolulu for an Interpreter In the
meantime as such an interpreter
could not have arrived before this
morning, the case was continued.
and the attorneys filed stipulation
continuing it to the June tsrm
Judge Kalus however refused to
approve the stipulation, and ordered
the case taken up this morning at
nine O'Clock which will be done If

Convicted Of Treason.

London, Jan. 23.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch, the Irish member of parliament,
was today found guilty of high treason
for fighting for the Beers in South Africa,
and was sentenced to death. Lynch
took his sentence coolly. When asked
if he had anything to say, before sentence
was rendered, he replied: "Thank you,
nothing" 1t is almost certain that
death will not be melted out to Lynch,
but that his sentence will be reduced to
term of imprisonment, probably ten
years, by the King, as Ireland would be
thrown into a state of red hot indigna-
should the prisoner be executed. There
are three ways of punishment according
to English law. He could be shot, or
hanged, or, through an old statute never
repealed, could be hanged, drawn, and
quartereG. The offense of which he is
found guilty, and for which he has been
sentenced to pay the penalty of death
was that of taking up arms against the
Government of Queen Victoria.

TramnIed 20 Death in Panic.

New York, Jan. 23.-A fire started in the
feather establishment of Mosher & Ittelson,
in the third floor of 159 Crosby street, this
morning. The employees we're quickly gotten
out by means of the elevator. The smoke,
however, had made its way into the cigar
factory Of l.. Miller & Sons where $50 girls
and 100 men were employed. When the
smoke filled the big rooms they all made a
wild scramble for the side Of the building. In
the panic the men rushed past the girls, crush
ing them under foot. In the crush three
were killed and eight injured. The blaze was
under control at $3.50. The money loss ia esti,
mated at about $4,000. Some Of the excited
women said after the panic that the men,
with the hooks and knives used in their BUSH
ness, beat Others back. Police commissioner
Green is investigating the Miller place which
was damaged little by the fire. A few cool
heads to stem the panic which followed the
thrush ofsmoke from the burning building
adjacent to Miller's, would have averted the
loss Of life and the injuries.

The Venezuelan Imbroglio.

Berlin. Jan. 23.-Public feeling here
regarding the Venezuelan affair is be-
coming jingoistic. The government,
while maintaining an official silence,
has made it known that it does not like
the apparent pro-Venezuelan attitude OF
the Washington government and would
take umbrage at any demands by Sec
retary of State Hay for an explanation
OF the bombardment of Fort San Carlos.
Germany has at last officially a given
reason for the bombardment of Fort
San Carlos. In the Reichstag today
Baron Won Richthofen, minister Of
foreign affairs, declared that the bonn
bardment occurred to secure respect for
the blockade. He continued
"During the blockade state of war
reigns. Our warships have the right
to confscate Venezuelan ships. We
had pressed President Castro, last July,
to bring the dispute before the Hague
arbitration court. Castro at that time
refused to do so"
The commander of the warship Fake,
stationed at Curacao, wires that be has
trustworthy information from Maracaibt
that Fort San Carlos has been shelled
and set on fire by the German cruisers
Vineta and Panther, and that it was
ultimately destroyed.
Public opinion, except among the
socialists, is jingoistic regarding the
Venezuelan affair." The general feeling
is that the government should push
Venezuela to settlement in every forci-
bic way possible. -,
Birmingham, Eng, Jan. 23.--The
Post in an editorial on Germany's action
in bombarding Venezuelan port today
SAYS: "The doubt which has been gen
orally entertained throughout the trouble
as to our Berlin ally truly desiring
peaceful solution, his been distincly
deepened. The Post states that
letter has been sent to the German
Chancellor, by German fnanciers inter
ested in South America, in which a pro-
test is registered against the continuance
of the blockade of Venezuelan ports.
Rome Jan. 23.-The report that il
is Italy's intention to abandon Germany
in the action against Venezuela is abso'
lutely denied today. An exchange o
views has just passed between the two
powers, and they have agreed to continue
cooperation in the matter.

The Treasury Department has re-
ceved a letter from the customs col
lector at San Juan, Porto Rico, regard
ing the indictment of number OF
United States naval and army officers
and Others charged with smuggling into
Porto Rico cigars and liquors on gov
eminent vessels. The collector says
that this violation of the law has con-
tirued ever since the American occupa-
ton. A list of officers already indicted
is given and the collector states that a
number of others equally guilty have
not vet been arrested. He also says
that offers Of compromise have been
made and he desires to know what
course he shall pursue. The depart
ment declines to entertain offers of com
promise and should punish severely the
American officers who have wantonly
broken the laws which they swore to in
force. 1t is certainly no unreasonable
demand that the army and navy service
be purged of smugglers.

CONGRESSIONAL.

A solid democratic minority, aided by
about thirty republicans, yesterday
routed the republican House leaders and
passed minority substitute for the Phil
ippine currency bill reported by the
committee on insular affairs. The final
vote was LAG to 1913. The committee
bill provided for establishing the gold
standard in the islands and for coming
silver pesos of4l6 grains, to be made legal
tender at the rate of 2 pesos for one gold
dollar. The substitute reported by the
minority members of the committee pro-
vides that the lawful money of the United
States shall be legal tender in the Phil
ippines. The fight for the substitute
was led by Mr.. Hill, of Connecticut, a
republican, and despite the fact that the
House leaders went to the assistance OF
Chairman Cooper, the opposition was
able to secure enough republican votes
to adopt the substitute.
Consideration was begun of the bill

that Germany policy has the end in view
of shooting holes in the Monroe doctrine.
The British seem disposed to avoid avoid
all responsibility for the bombardment

Mr.. JOHN MITCHELL told commit

that the scarcity of coal was due to the fact
that there was shortage in the product
of the mines amounting to $4,000, OOO
tons. The question of who is response
bic for the shortage in the supply was
the subject of -ennsiderahle-~ debate, IN
representing the parties before the strike
commission. 1t was testified to that the
miners are not obeying President Nit
chell's request to make extra efforts to
produce more coal to relieve the situa-
ton. This statement will be read with
regret by all the people in this section OF
the country who are now beginning to
realize that they will be compelled to
suffer the inconvenience of short supply
and high prices during the remainder of
the winter. The operators and the
miners seem to have agreed to put the
general public to all the inconvenience
and expense which lies within their

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the

like German Syrup. The 25 cents size
