ARE HOLDING
THREE DESERTERS
POLICE HAVE THREE MEN FROM
CREW OF BRODICK CASTLE IN
CUSTODY-OTHERS AT LARGE.

Unless orders soon come for the
British ship Brodick Castle to sail
from this port, Captain Olsen her mas
ter, will probably have to go to Jail
in search of his crew. There are now
three members of the crew being de-
tanned in Jail as deserters until the
captain shall ask for them to help get
the vessel out of port. The remainder
fthe crew are aboard the vessel,
which is anchored in the stream. but
some of them are likely at any time to
try and get ashore from the vessel.
There are two deserters at large from
the British ship Forfarshire. Captain
of Harbor Police Flint is searching for
them. He will in all probability sue
coed nrounding the pair up, as he
has been successful apprehending de-
serters.
c. e. Edmunds who came up from
Australia on the British bark Forfar-
shire was taken into custody this
morning, on the supposition that he
was deserter from that vessel. 1t
was subsequently learned that the i'm
migration authorities had allowed Ed
munds to land at this port, so he was
released from the police station, as
he was not a deserter from the British
ship.

DEMAND FOR $40 A
MONTH WITHDRAWN
LABORERS ON HONOLULU PLAN
TATION CHANGE BASIS OF
THEIR DEMANDS.

Negotiations between the contract
laborers on the Honolulu Plantation
and the management in the matter
which was brought to a crisis by a
strike last week. are now going on.
At the time of the strike, good coun-
sells prevailed, and a truce of twelve
I days was agreed upon to await the ar
rival of the Japanese Consul General,
Mkt Saito, whom the Japanese labor
ers wanted present to look after their
interests. He arrived fom Kauai yes
| terday morning and negotiations are
now proceeding.
The contract laborers have very ma
terially changed the basis of their de-
mands since they first made them. At
that time their pricipal demand was
that the plantation should agree to
guarantee that their contracts would
yield them twenty dollars n month.
This demand they have withdrawn
and abandoned. 1t was pointed out TO-
them that the plantation could not
make this guarantee unless all the con-
tracts, on the average, would yield
that much to the contract laborers If
they did not the demand was equi-
f
contract price. and ought to be put in
that form. If the contracts on the
average would yield that much to the
laborers, it would make no diff
ference to the plantation, but it
would make a difference to the indi-
vidual laborers, because instead of
being paid in proportion to the indus
try they had exhibited they would all
be paid alike, the lazy as much as the
Industrious. On this showing the strik-
ing labOrers withdrew this demand for
a guarantee of twenty dollars month
Their claims now are that they shall
receive the same price per ton of cane
that they did last year. Last year
they received $1.S0 a ton for the cane
they raised under their contracts. This
year they say that the management
has cut them down to $1.25 a ton. They
claim that sugar is higher now than
it was last year and that therefore the
price paid to them for the cane they
raise ought not to be cut down. On
the other hand, the plantation manage
ment points out that last year the
average rate of wages for day laborers
was SIS a month, and on this basis the
! Ilhuld tLpl charged the contract Ia DOR
ers fifty cents a ton for cutting the
can, the contract laborers not, as a rule
cutting the cane they raised. This
/ left net price of eighty cents a ton
10 the contract laborers for their pay.
This year, the average rate If wages
/ for day l~borers is SIG a month ard
| the price charged by the planta ton to
! the contract laborers sor cutting their
/ cane is only forty cents a ton leav-
/ ing ct price of eighty-five cents a ton
/ to them for their work in raising the
cane, an increase of five cents over the
net price of last year
Notwithstanding this the japanese
contract cane raisers, claim that with
! the higher price of sugar they are en-
titled to at least the gross price Of last
year, and that if there IS any advanr-
age from the lower average price of
I'day iaborers. they are entitled to it.
1t is on the basis Of these changed
demands that the negotiations are now
| proceeding .rE .rf =a.

war cloud Growing Blacker.

Vienna, Sept. 1.-THE war cloud in
the Balkans is today looming up blacker
than ever, and it is freely stated that
unless some step is taken by the powers,
and that quickly, the near future will
see the whole of the Turkish country
devastated by an DISCRIMINATING war.
Even those who have maintained an
optimistic attitude toward the affair now
express fears of trouble far worse than
anything that has yet occurred. This
pessimistic spirit has been added to by
the reports current yesterday that the
Bulgarian government has informally
told the representatives of the powers
that unless Turkey desists from her mas
sacre of Christians Bulgaria will be com
PEELED to step in and interfere. A war
between Bulgaria and the porte would
be one in which hatred would have the
leading part, and the fighters would be
urged on to atrocities that would make
the civilized world shudder with horror.
There are those who believe that even
foreign interference could not avert the
struggle and nothing but a complete
cessation of war operations in Macedonia
conld prevent large number of Bul-
garian soldiers and officers from joining
their fate with that of the insurgents.
In that case, Prince Ferdinand and his
government would be forced into sup
porting their army and war would result.
Dispatches received from ConstantinOple
still tend to minimize the amount OF
suffering among the Christians of Mon
astir vilayet. The number who have
lest their lives there was doubtless greatly
exaggerated by the reports Of the early
part of the week. A dispatch received
here this afternoon states that official
news has been received in Constantinople
of the recapture by Turkish troops of
Vasiliko on the Black Sea, on Sunday
last.
Salonica, Sept. 1.-THE Porte has

AIfonso,s European Tour.

Madrid, Sept. H. King Alfonso will
probably visit England during his
European tour which begins at the end
of next month. Spain is uneasy lest
England should lend her moral support
to the reported movement Of Portugal to
reconvert the peninsula into the old
time Iberian empire. The government
believes that the friendly meeting be-
tween Alfonso and King Edward would
allay this suspicion, and take the wind
out of the sails of the Spanish socialists
and republicans who are working to as
sist Portugal's designs.
King Alfonso, during the course of an
interview at Jaca, today, said he hoped
to materially increase the defenses of
Spain by the expenditure of few mil
lion pesetas, and make the coast able to
repel the most formidable squadron.
His majesty spoke at some length re-
garding the importance of agriculture,
which, he said, would be enormously
developed in Spain in the next four
years, adding: 81 realize that am the
chief of state, but I aspire to be the first
farmer in Spain"
1t has just transpired that King Al
fonso of Spain had very narrow escape
from injury, atleast, while travelling from
Huesca and Soria, few days ago. A
gigantic fig tree along the railroad had
been uprooted by storm and fell across
the track near Mors. His majesty's
train was due in few minutes, and the
railroad employees only succeeded in re-
moving the tree before the kings train
rushed by.

SHOT BY BROTHER-IN-LAw.

J. f. Stark shot and fatally wounded
John F. Angel yesterday afternoon in
the Office of the Southern Express Com
pany in Jacksonville, Fla, while the
latter was protecting the life of his sister,
the wife of the man who fred the shot.
Stark had been in Jacksonville several
days, and yesterday morning wired for
his wife to join him. She went at about
noon, and at two o'clock they met at the
office of the express company, where the
brother was employed. The wife sus-
pected that her husband meant to do her
bodily harm when he endeavored to get
her to 60 to hi hotel. She desired to
remain near her brother and declined to
90. 81 have brought you here to kill
y)u,' Stark said. Quick as fash his
wife seized him as he was endeayoring
to draw pistol. hepinioned his arms
and her cries brought her brother. The
pistol was taken from Stark before it was
drawn. Words between the two men
followed and blows were exchanged.
Stark went to a pawnshop, where he
procured another pistol, and returned.
He entered the office and walked to the
cage where Angel was at work with his
back turned. Resting the pistol in one
of the small steel holes of the cage he
fired, the ball striking Angel in the
back of the head and lodging near the
brain. Angel fell. Stark looked about
him and started to leave, when brother
of Angel appeared and seized him. The
brother made an effort to kill Stark with
a knife, but others interfered, and the
police placed Stark under arrest Angel
is at hospital. No hopes are enter
tanned for his recovery. The defense
that Stark's lawyer will make is that he
was insane, a theory which is generally
accepted by those who know him and
who have been with him during the
past few days. Stark was formerly
auditor of the Jacksonville, Tampa, and
Kew West road. Angel was cashier of
the Southern Express Company,

THE AGITATION in labor circles and
the fear of collapse in industrial enter
prises in consequence thereof are causing
great concern throughout the country
and the press generally in discussing the
matter views the outcome with grave APP
prehension. Capital is proyerbially timld
and can afford to hold of in troublous
times. but the withdrawal of money
from circulation inevitably works hard
ship upon those who are dependent
upon their daily work for livelihood.
In commenting upon the present state
of affairs the Philadelphia Record says
prosperity will be in danger of being
checked next year, not by the collapse
of speculation, but by wholesale sus-
pension of projected new undertakings
which were to have cost $3.50, 600, 600
forlabsr and materials land materials

burg Post, which says that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad will postpone improve
ments it intended to make next year
that would cost, to complete, $50, OOO,-
OOO and that building operations in
New York, involving $50, 600, 600, and
in Chicago involving $40, OOO, 900, will
be postponed until conditions shall be
come more settled. Already several rail-
roads have dropped the improvements
they had proposed till labor and mate
rails shall be cheaper, but this Pittsburg
story is that these enterprises, which
will use enormous quantities of steel,
will be deferred on account of the danger
of strikes to secure higher wages. 1t
would make a good deal of difference to
the wage-earners, and a good deal to the
general state of business in the country,

many interesting things concerning

He did not, however, go into details as
