KUMALAE TRIES
TO EXPLAIN

cali the vouchers for the House
jury" said Representative Jonah Ku-
malae to an Advertiser reporter yes
terday "At least that is what the
clerk told me. That is he told me and
about twenty more who were standing
around. I don't know what the grand
jury will do; some people say that the
Territorial jury will take the matter
up. THAT IS WHAT OUGHT TO
BE DONE. don't see what there is
to find out. I never. got any money
from the Territory excepting my SAL
ary."
do you know anything about the
report that the Chinese committee
paid $500 for about $50 worth of work?''
Kumalae was asked.
81 don't remember how the money
was spent. Yes, 1 was chairman of
that committee but I can't remember.
I was on SO many committees-ten or
fifteen 1 believe, and it kept me pretty
busy. I think most of it went for
translating, though
'sWere you paid for translating for
any of the committees?''
mo. I interpreted for some of the
committees, where Kaniho and some
of the others didn't understand word
of English, but 7 never got any vouch-
er for it. I never did any trans
lating. had to attend to my busi-
ness and my committees SO I didn't
have time. Besides the members of
the Legislature couldn't accept any
money"
What about the report that the
House paid thirty dollars for dozen
pens?".
ST guess that must have been for
fountain pens. The Sergeant at Arms
bought some fountain pens. I guess
every member got one. 1 know I did.
Mine was marked $3.50 so probably
that is what the emoney went for
"The pens that the Sergeant at Arms
presented to each member at the
opening of the session."
Eyes, some of the members asked
him to buy them. I know most of
the members used fountain pens dur
ing the session. I don't know what
the Federal grand jury intends to do.
They are all through with me and
suppose they will make a report on
Monday. guess nearly all of the bills
of the House We're paid. The most
of it went for translating and printing
the Journal.

MARST0N CAMPBELL.
REMAINS IN OFFICE

Marston Campbell Assistant Super
intendent of Public Works under Mr..
Cooper's administration of the depart
ment, has reconsidered his resignation
of the office. He will continue his
services unaer Superintendent Hollo-
( way on the same basis of pay as was
arranged by Mr.. Cooper from the 30th
of June. when the regular salary of
the position became abolished by the
Legislatures action on the appropria-
tion bills. The plan is that of draw.
ing the same amount as the Assist
ants former salary out of appropria-
tions for various public works per-
formed under his direction.
The legislative majority evidently
did not intend to abolish the office but
to freeze out Mr.. Campbell, an opera
ton for which they figured six months
would be sufficient, as they restored
the salary in the eighteen months ap-
preparation bill taking effect on jan
uary 1, 1904.
Mr.. Campbell was out with Mr.. Hol-
loway on a tour of inspection yes
terday afternoon.

Honolulu Christmas Boats.

The japanese liner Nippon Maru and
the Oceanic steamship Sierra viii
probably be the vessels on which the
bulk of the last OF the Christmas mail
for the mainland will be forwarded
from Honolulu. The former leaves
for San Francisco on December IA. and
the Sierra leaves the following day.
These steamers should arrive in San
Francisco on December 20 and 81 re-
spectively. The Nevadan- is sched-
uled to leave here on the 18th but the
mail, even for San Francisco. would
arrive about the day after Christmas.
Honolulans should not have any
fault to find with the number of ves-
sells arriving here Christmas time with
holiday gifts, as the Alameda is
scheduled to arrive Christmas day.
The steamer China is due to arrive
from San Francisco on December IS
and the Moana from Victoria on De-
cember 1s.

PORTUGUESE START
A ROUGH HOUSE

A row in the Aala saloon on Bere-
tania street last night between some
Portuguese hoodlums and several
Swedish sailors. resulted in hurry
call for the police. The report came
to the station that knives were being
used. The patrol wagon responded
with Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth
and several officers. They found that
the Portuguese had tried to make
rough house and one, John Hollerson.
had struck c. Simerson, a sailor from
the 9. N. Castle. in the eye A fight
ensued which gave rise to the rumor
that knives were out
Chillingworth made short work of
the Portuguese, who had been the ag-
gressors, and sent Hollerson to jail on
a charge of assault and battery. Hol-
lerson has been arrested three or four
times before for the same offense. His
companions were Willie Dias and one

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED.

The campaign for the election of the fusion
ticket necessarily involves tho expenditure
of large sum of money for the rent of
halls for NEE tings, the erection of bapn Frs,
the printing and distribution of immense
quantities of literature and the maintenance
of headquarters. Managers Of the fusion
campaign do not levy assessments upon en-
pIoyes of the city government, Tammany
leaders always do when they can, do
they resort the Tammany practice of
making candidates pay for their nominal
lions. The Citizens Union invites all cftf-
yens who want good municipal government
continued to contribute to the necessary ex-
penses of the campaign. Contributions to
the Citizens Union campaign fund should be
sent to Isaac N. seligman, treasurer, at No.
q Broad-at.

TIE REGENTS AND THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

While attempting concealment by methods
reminiscent Of the ostrich, spokesman for the
State Department of Education have been in
dustriously engaged during the summer in
spreading a report that the Regents of the Uni
versity were ready TO surrender their control or
the high schools. IDasmuch as the diligent cir
culation of an uncontradicted statement TO that
effect might have msled credulous persons and
caused some anxiety as TO the welfare OF the
high schools. the executive committee of the
Regents deemed it proper TO set forth in the
form of a circular communication TO those most
nearly concerned the fact that they had never
SO much as entertained an idea of abandoning
the trust imposed on them ty the legislature,
and TO make it clear that they intended here
after. as heretofore, TO exercise that full meas
ure of supervision over the high schools which
the law requires and under which they have
fourjsheJ in an extraordinary degree AS the
Regents circular has been merely summarized
by the press Of this city, we append it to a news
letter from Rochester which we print on the
seventh mage this morning, showing that it has
been published in full in that part of the State,
and containing some curious information as TO
the effect it has produced in certain quarters
Our correspondent makes it clear that no
cuse exists for a misunderstanding in Rochester
newspaper offices Of the Regents position, and
we are consequently led to wonder whether the
curious unwillingness of "The Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle" TO see and print the truth
is due to the fact that former editor OF that
paper. with whom its relations are supposed to
be somewhat strained, is a member of the Board
