PRAISE FOR THE COPTIC

SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.-The
Occidental and Oriental steamer Cop
tic, Captain Hinder, to sail next Tues
day will call at Manila on the out
ward trip.u Not only have her pas
senger accommodations been all en-
gagged, but the liner is to carry a full
cargo of freight, much of it being des-
tined for the Philippines. The Coptic
according to maritime journal just
received from England, was highly
conplimented recently at a banquet
of the Chamber of Shipping held in
London, attended by the Lord Mayor
of London, Lord Roberts. Lord Brassey
and others, when Sir James l.. Mackay
X. c. l. E., chairman of the British In
dia Navigation Company, the largest
steamship company in the world said,
addressing the Right Honorable w. r.
Pirrie, one of the Coptic's owners:
IT should like to mention, Mr.. Plrrie
that on a recent occasion, coming home
from China, 1 travelled in one of your
ships, not Of the most recent type, but
a vessel you will probably remember
having constructed some twenty-three
years ago, a ship by name the Coptic.
If ever any of you gentlemen find you
have to cross the Pacific I should
strongly reeOmmend you to lay your
plans so that you may travel in the
Coptic, old as she is. She is a most
excellent vessel in every possible way
and commanded by a most excellent
skipper, Captain Kinder. In the Cop
tic strange to say, old as she is, there
were absolutely no signs of age. The
vessel seems to have been kept up or
so faithfully built that, instead of
looking twenty-three years old, she
does not look more than three"

HORRIBLE DEATH
OF WALTER {. LEE
Is CAUGHT IN THE MACHINERY
OF THE PALOLO ROCK CRUsHER
DEATH INSTANTANEOUS.

A distressing and fatal accident oc-
CURED this morning shortly after
o'clock at the rock cTusher of the Pa
lolo Land and Improvement company,
in Palolo valley. Walter Il. Lee, the
foreman and general manager for the
company, was caught i'm the machinery,
his body fearfully mangled and he
killed almost instantly. The body was
taken to the undertaking establishment
of II. H. Williams. An inquest will be
held at o'clock this afternoon. The
funeral will probably be held early to-
morrow afternoon and the interment
will be at Pearl City.
Accounts vary as to just how the ac-
cident occurred. According to the re-
ports made to the Palolo Land and I'm
provemen Company some pieces of
crushed rock fell down into a pit in
which was the lower pulley Of the rock
elevator. This elevator consists of n
wide belt on which at regular interval
into this pit to clear away the inter-
fering pieces of rock, an operation not
, thought to involve danger. But in
some way his hand or arm was caught
by the belt or in the pulley and his
the body and the side OF his head
mutilated, causing death almost in
stantly.
According to the report made to De-
putty High Sheriff ChillingwOrth by n
police officer who was sent out to in
vestigate the matter, the rock crusher
became clogged. Lee went up to set
the machinery right, using a stick to
punch the clogging pieces of rock out
of the way. While doing this, he lost
| his balance, and his left arm WAS
| caught in the fly-wheel of the ma
| chinery and was torn from his body.
Lee was a man of about forty-fve
| years of age. He was a mulatto born
in Peru of an English father and an
| American mother. He had lived in a
good many countries and been pretty
much all over the world, though his
home had been in Hawaii a good many
| years. He had been married twice.
His second wife is a Portuguese. She
with seven children survive him. His
mother, a most estimable woman well
known to large number of the older
families of the city, has made her
home with this son Walter for many
years. ~

EDITOR STAR: The Advertiser re-
ports this morning, that at a meeting
last night of the Republican precinct
club of the 4th District, dissatisfac ton
was expressed at the action of the Re-
publican Central Committee in fixing
the primaries the day after the nomina-
tions, and that in the course of the dis
cussion, Mr.. j. A. Gilman, a member
of said Commute, declared that it was
"a scheme of a Fifth District politi-
cian."
Now, if Mr.. Gilman is correctly re-
ported, it is another illustration of the
unfairness W tn which my political OPP
ponents treat me. He was present at
a meeting of his committee, and knows
that the plan 1 submitted provided for
nominations August 2Sth, and primaries
September 5th, and that the change
was made on motion of Mr.. Sam john
