DEFEATED ATTEMPT
70 Legislate Against Christian Science
in New Hampshire.

An attempt to legislate against
Christian Science in New Hampshire
has met with an ignominious defeat
This great victory was Won by Mrs
Eddy's friends who are not Scientists
No legal counsel was engaged to man
age the case. Not one of Mrs. Eddy's
representatives visited the hall of legis-
lation. Her friends outside of the
church gladly enlisted in her behalf.
The following is from the Concord,

SCRAMBLE NOW
FOR ISLAND TRADE

No advices have been received yet
as to the probable entrance of the new
liners Mongolia and Manchuria into the
through trade, but the probabilities of
their effect upon the local trade is be-
ing discussed already. The Mongolia
is now ON the way to San Francisco
and the Manchuria will soon follow,
but neither boat is expected to enter
the Oriental trade until after the first
of the year. With the ManChuria and
Mongolia on n through run two of the
smaller White Star boats will be with
drawn. These will leave the Marus the
only foreign boats which cannot carry
passengers between Honolulu and San
Francisco.
The advent of the Korea and Siberia
has affected the Oceanic boats most of
all. Lately the Sierra, Sonoma and
Ventura have carried but few passen-
gers between Honolulu and San Fran
cisco while the Alameda has also not
been well patroniz:ed. The larger and
more commodious boats seem to be
much preferred and with the Manchuria
and Mongolia also in opposition trade
the Spreckels boats will not fare near
ly as well. Formerly the Oceanic boats
had but two competitors, the China and
Picking, all the other through boats
being prohibited from doing business
with Honolulu because of the shipping
restrictions.
The competition of all these large
boats in the local trade is thought by
some to presage a reduction in pas
senger rates on the smaller boats, while
still others say it may mean an in
crease in price on the larger steamers.
The Oceanic Steamship Co. increased
its round-trip rate between Honolulu
and San Francisco not long ago to Sl35.
There is bound to be a scramble for
business with the Korea, Siberia, Man
churia and Mongolia all competing
with the Oceanic boats for local bust
ness.

PANEL
EXHAUSTED.
More Men Called
for Trial Of
Jones.

Great difficulty is assured in obtain
ing jury to try Edward NJ Jones for
murder. All of yesterdays session
in Judge Gears court was taken up
with the examination of jurors under
oath to ascertain if there was cause
why they, individually, should not sit
on the case. One after another was
excused for cause, consisting in opin-
lon already formed, scruples against
capital punishment, etc.
Attorney General L. Andrews and
Deputy E. C. Peters appear for the
Territory, and A G. NJ. Robertson and
j. j. Dunno for the defendant.
Jones looked almost the most I'M
concerned person in the courtroom.
He has improved in flesh, complexion
and every apparent way since the
night he surrendered himself at the
police station about three months ago.
Most of the time in court he works his
jaws upon a cud of some kind. Be-
meath his composed exterior, however,
there may be all the anxiety his ter
rible position ought to produce, for, al
trays any sign of levity in his glances
OF recognition toward acquaintance.
From the questions asked by the At
torney General, as we'll as counsel for
the defense, 1t would appear that the
prosecution will concentrate on the
murder of Mrs. Parmenter, leaving
that of Mrs. Jones in the background.
Fourteen jurors We're excused for
cause when, with eleven in the box,
the panel was exhausted. Judge Gear
thereupon ordered a special venire for
70 men to issue, and at 4:30 adjourned
court until $3.50 this morning.
NEW JURORS SUMMONED.
Following are names of the new jur-
ors summoned to appear this morning:
E. b. Friel John Crowell, John CRUDE,
Chas. Molteno, Manuel Richards, Jas.

SUIT DISMISSED.
At the request of counsel for plain
tiff, the ejectment suit OF Puuki Ha-
napi ct al. VS.. Honolulu Plantation
Co. was dismissed without prejudice
by Judge De Bolt. 1t was for two
apanas containing nearly eight acres

ROCK ISLANDS DEALS.
Roth Mexican Railroads Are Said to BE
Included in the Arrangements.

/ AUSTIN, Tex, May a.-It is learned on
trustworthy authority that the absorption
!, Of the Frisco Line by the Rock Island does
not change the status of the San Antonio
and Aransas Pass deal. The latter prop
erty is to pass into the hands of the Frisco
Rock Island interests and formal announces
.Inent of the transaction will be made as
soon as it is definitely known what action.
II any, the Attorney-General Of Texas is
to take, looking to the forfeiture OF the
charter Of the San Antonio and Aransas
Pass.
The existing Frisco and Rock Island
lines are to be connected with the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass by building ex-
tensions that have been proposed for some
time. 1t is said further, ON this same au-
thority. that the Nc xican National Railroad
is about to he sold to the Rock Island by
the Hartman interests and that the Mexican
International may form part of the pend
ing deal. Negotiations for the purchase Of
the Mexican National are said to have been
under way for several weeks and are prac--
tically completed. The San Antonio and
Aransas Pass connects with the Texas
Mexican branch of the Mexican National
at Alice and Corpus Christi, Tex
The work of changing the gauge of the
Mexican National to the standard width
will be completed about Oct. 1. President
B. F. Yoakum of the Frisco has informed
friends in Mexico that he will visit that
country in June and spend two weeks there.
It is understood that he will be made chair
man Of the board that il to control the
consolidated Frisco Rock Island-Mexican
National interests. II is thought by some
that the Mexican Central Is also embraced
in the proposed deal az the H. Clay Pierce
interests are in both that road and the
