EMISSARIES
DEPART FOR ORIENT
LABOR COMMISSIONER FORTUNE
ANESE COMMISSIONERS DEPART

Three prominent visitors to Hawaii
departed on the America Maru this
morning for the Orient. They were I.
Thomas Fortune and X. Imai and w.
Ikeda. They are not in the same party
but all of them have been in the Ha-
waiian Islands on special missions for
their respective governments.
Mr.. Fortune has concluded his work
in the Territory as special labor COM
missioner for the United States Treas
ury Department. He has been in Hawaii
for over a month and during that time
has been studying the labor conditions
of the islands. He was given a special
commission by the government to Sc
cure such information and his work is
understood to have been quite thorough
He will stop over at Yokohama and
then take the S. s. Gaelic for Manila
where as he is to study labor conditions
in the Philippine Islands.
Mr.. Imai and Mr.. Ikeda are sugar
experts who have been under special
commissions for their government. The
former has been resident of Honolu-
lu and vicinity for over a year past.
He was sent here for the purpose Of
making a careful study of the sugar
industry for the Formosan Govern
ment. The idea of the Formosan Gov
ernment is to produce sugar. Mr.. Imai
has been thorough. Last year he sent
number of varieties of cane to For
mosa for experiment. About so per cent
of the cane sent by him has flourished.
Mr.. IlIeda has been in Europe for
several years studying the beet sugar
industry of the various beet sugar na-
tions. He was also sent out by the
Formosan Government. His part of the
work did not require him to stop at
the Hawaiian Islands, but he decided
to make a short visit here and return
to Japan in company with his confrere.

.HAGEY JAG CURE
CASE RENEWED
HARRISON RETURNS FROM VIC
TORIA TO PROSECUTE A CASE
THAT HAS LASTED 8 YEARS.

T. NJ. Harrison, the Hagey cure man,
returned today on the Moana from Vic
toria. Harrison is the plaintiff in the
case of Harrison VS.. Magoon and 9TH
ers, which has been in the Circuit and
Supreme Courts here for over three
years. In the last trial he got a verdict
for over $4,000, but 1t was set aside by
the Supreme Court and the cause was
remanded to the lower court.
Harrison says he is here to fight the
case again. He claims damages in the
sum of ten thousand dollars on account
of a transaction with the South Afri-
can, Indian and Pacific Hagey Cure
Company by which he was sent to Tas-
mania and New Zealand to start Hagey
jag cure establishments. He gave a
herd of sheep to the company to buy
an interest, the sheep representing $lO,-
900. Harrison claims that the company
agreed to return him that sum If he
was not satisfied with the jag-cure. and
says that when he got to New Zealand
he found 1t was a fake, withdrew from
the business and demanded the ten
thousand or the sheep.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. 1904
More despairlng and having more rea-
son for despair than life-term prison
ers who hear behind them Clank the
door that will never open for them;
more heavily punished by fate and the
law than the guiltiest offender ever
was or can be, a hundred and fifty hu-
man beings, dragged from their homes
all over the country and condemned to
a life as near to He'll as anything on
earth can be, sailed through the Golden
Gate last night on the steamship Char
on, bound for their last awful home on
earth-the Leper settlement to which
the Federal government is sending
those who contract the oldest and worst
malady that flesh is heir to.
They were innocent Of crime-only an
ineXplcable fate had stricken them
with an incurabe disease, and, like the
Chinese who have been known to cast
contagiously sick relatives into the
streets to die rather than allow them
to infect a home, the American people
through Congress had decreed that the
lepers must be cast out. Cast out they
were, forced to part from relatives and
friends and acquaintances and shipped
like cattle. to be shut up among strang-
ers of a strange race, in a tropic cline,
to die alone among other victims-in
order that the country might be rid Of
them.
Those who witnessed the departure Of
the Charon will never forget it. On the
wharf were crowds to see the lepers CO.
1t was like looking at a hundred and
fifty deathbeds at once. for all the fare
wells were final. There were men and
women who had come from far away
Maine, from sunny Florida. from all the
parts of the country, to see loved ones
leave the world. There were mothers,
| fathers, husbands, wives sisters, BROTH
ers and children among the broken
hearted throng on the wharf and the
unfortunate sufferers on the steamer,
branded with the terrible brand which
has come down through the ages as
ociated with the dread cry of I'm
clean"
The ordinary steamer parting is for
a short time. There are a few tears, for
weeks or months of separation, good
wishes and hopes of speedy reunion.
Here were no possible good wishes, no
hope of reunion. The farewells were
as final as death itself. 1t was no Won
der that women screamed and tainted
and men turned from the scene and
| that strangers to all among the mourn
ers on either side inwardly cursed. to-
gether with the fate that breeds such
terrible disease, the law which so fear
fully adds to it's pangs.

edge of the wharf, and she was held

The S. s. MOana arrived this MORN
ing from Victoria and Vancouver. She

Cured on the trip. She brought a small

"CABBY" BROWN
AND THE i
ESTATE
An Answer Filed Which Says
If HE Wants Freedom to
Leave He Must Give Up
Management,

The answer of Mrs. Irene II Hollo-
way and the Ii Brown minors and of
A. w. Carter, trustee, to the injunction
suit by which G. A. Brown is seeking
to retain the position of manager of the
John II estate, was filed this morning
by A. S. Hartwell and Robertson &
Wilder The minors submit to the
court that "we are infants, each under
the age of 21 years." and therefore they
submit their interests to the care and
protection of the court.
The answer denies that Brown as the
holder of 499 shares out of 1900 of the
stock of the John Ii estate, Limited
could not be removed as manager and
treasurer of the estate except with his
own consent, or that he secured such
positions by virtue of his marital rights
as the husband of Mrs. Irene Ii, now
Mrs. Holloway.
The answer says: 80 long as plaintiff
performed the duties of the office of
treasurer and manager of said COM
pany as set forth in said articles of as
sociation he could not be removed with
out a vote of not less than three
fourths of all the shares of said Com
pany, but that by ceasing voluntarily
or otherwise to perform the duties of
said office plaintiff could be lawfully
removed by majority of all the shares
The respondents deny that Brown
has performed the duties of manager
and treasurer and allege that he has
absented himself from the Territory for
his own pleasure, when the business of
the corporation did not require such
absence. All of the business of the cor
poration is in the Hawaiian Islands,
say the respondents and it is absolutely
necessary that he should remain here
l,to fg 10 hn 4 nd frn1
Surer.
1t is claimed that the bylaws which
the respondents attempted to pass, pro-
viding that the manager should not
leave the islands for more than three
weeks without being subject to removal
was a reasonable one and necessary for
the proper management of the business
Brown wants to go abroad. Recent
ly he started on a trip to Europe and
got as far as New York, where a dis
patch from his attorney in Honolulu
called him back, to answer to proceed
ings to remove him as manager, which
had been renewed in his absence.

FOR MILITARY PROJECTS.
Secretary Root Asks for Additional Ap-

The Secretary of War has transmitted to
Congress supplemental estimates for ap-
propriatons aggregating s., 7O2, 100 for i'm
portant military projects The sum OF
$2.OO0.OO0 is asked for additional sea coast
batteries and $526 100 for land for the de-
lenses of Hawaii. Accompanying the COM
munication is a letter from Gen. Gillespie,
chief Of engineers, calling attention to the
Importance of providing at an early date
for the defense of Porto Rico, the Hawaiian
Islands. Guam and the Philippines.
Secretary Root also asks Congress to ap-
rropriate $4,000 for perfectng the armory
shops for the manufacture of small arms
at the Rock Island arsenal. In 1890 Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 and in the fol-
lowing year 100000 for the establishment

CELESTIAL REFRESHMENTS.
Funny Little Restaurants in the
Chinese Empire.

From Golden Penny.
Places of rest and refreshment are COM
monty to be found at the halting stations
on the highways in the interior, or at the
villages on the banks Of the great rivers OF
China. They frequently take the form of
small mud hut, having a dark interior
filed with smoke, tea tables, forms and an
oven where cook is kept busy baking tea
bread and frying puddings for the enter
tainment of the customers, whose favorite
beverage is tea, although when times are
good and the weather cold they indulge In
something stronger, which often inebrlates,
and that at very cheap rate. In the dark
est corner there are row of glazed earth
enware jars. containing a kind of Chinese
whisky. Of which thirsty carter may
have a skinful for something considerably
under a penny; when he will go quietly to
sleep on the shaft of his cart, and his pony
or mule. being used to 1t, Will take him
home.
In addition to these conveniences there is
an ingenious little furnace in front. having
a long flue, through which the flame is
driven by an air pump. and a row of hot
water kettles gradually increasing in size
to suit the heat of the tongue of flame that
passes up the fiue beneath, so that they
may all be kept boiling. The hot water is
sold to the passersby, who usually carry
with them their teapot and tea, so that they
may have cup at every station. This Gus
tom of carrying ones own tea is so COM
mon that 1t is difficult to procure cup Of
tea in any of the restaurants, as they do
not keep 1t, and do not care to go out of
their way to buy 1T for you. Although the
plant may be growing all round and at
ones very feet, 1t is next to impossible to
get cup that a foreigner would consider
worth drinking; and as to using milk and
sugar the Chinese look upon the practice
as barbarous device Of the foreign
devil
