When hints Of it first reached Secretary
Hitchcock he called upon Commissioner

Commissioner Richard and his inspectors
believe that they have unearthed a plot
whereby hundreds OF thousands Of acres Of
valuable lands in Oregon have been secured
by SPECTATORS and syndicates through false
entries, which could not have occurred
without colluSon OF Government officers.
One OF the accused Land Commissioners
is a woman. appointed by a Federal Judge.

When the investigation was set on foot,
she resigned and quit the State. The Dis

indict her for perjury.
Secretary Hitchcock declines to discuss
the subject beyond saying that the inquiry

OLD ANOROMEOA
At LAST SOLD
WAS PURCHASED IN SAN FRAN
CISCO BY CHARLES NELSON
LUMBER COMPANY.

The old Norwegian bark Andromeda
Rotten Row since last September has
at last been sold. The vessel was pur-
chased at San Francisco December -
for $4100 by James Tyson for the
Charles Nelson Lumber Company The
vessel was sold at auction at the Mer-
chants Exchange.
McCabe, Hamilton and Kenny the To-
cal stevedores have received notice
from the new purchasers to take charge
of the Andromeda. The exact inten-
tion of the lumber company is not
known Sufficient rigging and masts
and other things with which to equip
her will be sent to Honolulu by the
new purchasers. Their idea is to
fix her so she can proceed to San Fran
cisco where complete renovations can
be made. She will probably be put
into the lumber trade.
The Andromeda had a very eventful
time just before she put into this port
ballast from Iqueque to Eureka she en-
Countered a hurricane that threw her
on her beam ends. In order to save
the ship Captain Rotter had to let his
masts go by the board. She put into
Honolulu with only the stumps of a
couple of masts standing. She has
been here every since awaiting a pur-
chaser. 1t was thought she might be
purchased by II. Hackfeld and Com
pany for the Laysan Island guano
trade to replace the bark Ceylon which
was lost some months ago.

BISHOP ROPERT
CABLES HIS
HOLINESS
The Dying PreIate From His
Deathbed Asks the Blessing
of the Head of the Catholic
Church,
TO MoNsTGNOR CARDINAL GoTTI,
PROPAGANDA, ROME.


Bishop Gulstan, on his death bed, the
Clergy and laity of the Roman Catholic
Church of Hawaii send their respectful
congratulations to His Holiness Pope
Leo XIII at the Inauguration of the
Trans-Pacific American Gable between
San Francisco and Honolulu, and pray
for His Blessing.
f. LIBERT, PRO-VICAR.
Bishop Gulstan on his death bed in
Hawaii prays for the blessing of the
head of his church, Pope Leo XIII, at
Rome. The pleading message goes
speeding over the newly connected ca
bic franked by the courtesy of the Pa
cific Gable Company.
Amid the hundreds of congratulatory
messages which have been sent over
the cable by rejoicing citizens of Ha-
wall, the message approved in a whis-
per by the failing breath of Bishop
Gulstan who lay on his death bed,
spared to see the birth of a new year
and the birth of a new era while the
last grains of his own life limit ran
ineXorably through the hour glass of
Mortality, strikes a distinct note of
pathos.
Bishop Gulstan, who with vitality in
eXplicable to his physicians, still re-
tains a grip on life; while patiently
awaiting his end. was yesterday asked
by Father Valentine whether he would
care to send a cablegram, already pre-
pared and then read to him, to the
Pope. What could we do that would
be better" whispered, almost inaudibly
the dying prelate.
The message was taken to the office
where it was found that the line had
been closed for the day Manager Mar
tin of the underground cable contract,
who met Father Valentine, was anxious
that the bishop should have no dis
appointment and brought Father Val
entine to Superintendent Gaines who
promised that the message should have
his personal attention the moment the
cable tests of the Silvertown engineers
were completed
Today the message will be flashed
across the Pacific, the broad continent
of North America, the Atlantic and
across the continent of Europe until ii
reaches the Eternal City and the Head
of the Church of Rome, himself an old
old, man patient, benevolent and saint
ly, holding in his yet vital hand the
centering lines of Roman Catholic en-
terprise and work, even to the Anti
podes.
Bishop Gulstan lies on his bed, free
from pain, semi-comatose, with his
brain feebly asserting it's intelligence
when required. Solid nourishment he
can no longer take and his vitality Is
eked out with sips of weakened cham
pagne or brandy and water. The enc
is inevitable, waited for with resigna-
tion, almost longing, but it has beer
ineXplicably delayed for the past two
weeks.
Yesterday when guns were firing
whistles blowing and the gay crowd
passed hy the quiet of the cathedra
close, the bishop smiled faint greeting
when he was told that Gable Day was
a reality and the parties infidelium o.
Hawaii We're Joined to Rome by a new
temporal as well as a spiritual power
An answer to the cablegram may
come today.

Cable IS STILL
VERY Great
NOVELTY
Service Tests all Prove Salts
faCtory-More viii be Made
End of the Franking Privi-
Iege,

Interest in the cable is still deep this
morning though not as plainly visible
as yesterday. Recipients of cable
grams are comparing them this morn
ing and many merchants who received
business communications from busi-
ness friends on the other side, are dis
playing the messages in their front
windows.
In all something in the neighborhood
of five hundred dead head" kilograms
We're received from the other side,
judging by the numerals following the
significant initials ID. H." which ap-
pear on all cablegrams received or
sent out yesterday.
The Silvertown tests of yesterday
We're successfully made and will be con-
tinued today. The Office in the Young
building is open this morning though
not for business. The superintendent
office, so often beseiged yesterday
morning, presents a locked door to all
applicants All cable employees are
pretty thoroughly tired by the long
days work and ensuing festivities Of
yesterday and are desirous of accom-
plshing what has to be done today in
peace and quietness. Some messages
of actual cable necessity are going over
the line but the liberal franking is at
an end and the line not yet open for
public business.
The office Will be regularly and for
mally opened to the public on Monday,
according to present regulations. The
hours will run from eight in the morn
ing to midnight until Manila is COM
municated with, when a largely aug
mented staff will be on hand day and
night.
Already the possession of the cable
and the prospect of constant news has
brought the subject of the federal
building paramount once more. The
news of the executive decision will be
wired to Commissioner Eustis directly
it is gained and the message will un-
doubtedly be awaiting him in Wash
ington. The feeling of being in touch
with Washington seems to affect Il
large proportion of the community more
closely than the prospect of general
news. The losses and mistakes of past
years that might have been averted had
the cable been in existence are brought
up in reminiscence. With the COM
ing of the new year and the cable
simultaneously, everyone unites in the
belief that the combination will prove
the commencement of a new era of Ha-
wallis prosperity.
