to over $500, which he said were given
for the payment of his personal bills.
Mahaulu acted as his agent. drawing
his salary for him, while he was abb
sent at Washington. He was to pay
Mrs. Boyd SIPS and expend s25 more
for paying small bills, the balance to
be applied to lifting DEFENDANTS evil
dences of debt in the Land Office safe.
Among these evidences exhibited by the
prosecution the previous day were some
liquor store bills, and of these Boyd
now testified that Mahaulu had exceed
ed instructions in the amount thus ex-
pended. He doubted if so much of
liquors had been consumed at his house.
When shown a certain receipt ne stat
ed that he had given Mahaulu his check
for the bill it represented This state
ment caused one of the warmest Incl
dents of the trial when Mahaulu after
ward was put on the stand in rebuttal.
Another statement of Boyd also figured
prominently in the same way. He was
telling about check for 1851 and said
$50 of it was for a payment on land at
Lahaina for his wife, another sum for
certain purpose stated and the bal
ance he could not say for what.
THE REBUTTAL.
Stephen Mahaulu, called in rebuttal
by the prosecution, denied that Boyd
had ever deposited his own money with
him to pay his (Boyd's) obligations,
also said Boyd left no money with him
when he went to Washington. Witness |
testified regarding a number of I. O. |
us shown him saying they represented |
money taken from the Land Office funds
by Boyd which, in any of the cases.
were never repaid.
On being shown receipted bill, Ma
haulu at once said that Boyd gave him
a check for that bill. 1t had been left |
ying around the office and got in among
the other exhibits shown. He told Dep
uty Attorney General Peters about it
when that official was holding an in
vestigation, but so much interest was
being taken in the 1. o. US, ETC., that
ais remark was not noticed.
Mr. Chillingworth cross-examined him
ong and severely on this item. Ma
laulu, when asked how he remember
I'd the incident, said "there was no
there on that occasion,
IS there had been at another investiga-
ion of the matter Mr.. Chillingworth
ook up the "stenographer" matter and
larassed the witness about it until at
ength the Attorney General raised the
objection, which was sustained, that
he question had been asked and an
wered repeatedly.
Mahaulu, being questioned on the
,unch of Boyd's checks. singled out one
or 500. saying that was payment on
and at Lahaina for Mrs. Boyd. This
vas a contradiction of Boyd's evidence :
hat the payment in question was in :
luded in the S5S1 check. :,
Mr.. Andrews produced large money
ag containing pieces of paper, which
fahaulu identified as the receptacle for

through the contents of the bag and see I
there were any other 1. o. US be- !

LABOR TROUBLES
TIE UP STEAME RS

Something in the way of new de-
parture in labor troubles is reported
from France. This is a general strike
by the superior officers of the French
mercantile marine against the boycott
ting tactics of the seamen's unions The
trouble appears to have begun at Mar
settles, where the seamen refused to sail
with the ships unless certain obnoxious
officers were removed or dismissed.
These demands were acceded to by the
owners or agents. and the thing spread
until the officers became alarmed, form
ed a protective body and struck against
the boycotting plan. At Marseilles. two
weeks ago. forty-two steamers and ten
sailing ships were tied up and the en-
tire crews discharged. There are now
said 10 be 100 idle steamships at that
port. The Seamen's Union proposed
that the government should run the
steamers with naval officers, but the
owners refused TO intrust their vessels
10 strangers. Late cables report that
the trouble has spread TO the Atlantic
ports of France. mail service by French
steamers is interfered with and a gen
eral tie-up of the French marine is
threatened. The next steps in this
curious warfare are awaited with In
rereSt.-Bra dstreet's.

THE TAN SHOE CRAZE.

The tan shoe revival this year ap-
pears to have made quite a conquest of
footwear fashion. One comes upon tan
shoes at every turn. Both sexes are
wearing them, but the women, par
ticUlarly, are featuring them. This
season the woman who sticks to pat
ent feathers or the other varieties
of black feathers is either a person of
extremely quiet tastes or one in mourn
ing.
a few years ago when tan shoes first
became a craze, one or two eminent
female authorities on footwear pro-
prieties made the statement that no
addressed woman would ever wear
them. The first reason was that they
We're loud" and the second (Which
was probably first, although put sec
ond) was that they gave the feet an
appearance of largeness. But now our
women are not so finnicky about the
looks of their feet as to size. They
have become athletic, and a fairly
goodsized foot is not in disfavor.-BaI-
timore Herald.

HAWAIIAN ISLES
TRAGIC VOYAGE

MELBOURNE, May 5.-Upon the ar
last night of the American bark Ha-
waiian Isles. Captain Mallet had a
I stirring story of deaths by suicide and
misadventure to narrate. The first
fatality was on 3rd April, when, during
a heavy gale, one of the crew,
Swede named Charles Anderson, aged
%. was washed overheard and lost. The
ship at the time was running before
the storm, and immense seas were
frequently breaking over her. Ander-
son was caught by one of the waves
and swept into the ocean. All that
was possible to save him was done,
but apparently he sank Immediately
The accident occurred off the Cape OF
Good Hope. Ten days later Charles
Carey, one of the crew. aged A, COM
mitted suicide by jumping into the sea
Life buoy lines were thrown within
easy reach of him when in the water.
but he Immediately swan away from
them. Carey had been scrubbing the
main deck, when he suddenly rushed
to the side of the vessel and vauited
on 70 the rail into the water. The ship
was put about as soon as possible, but
before boat could reach him he had
sunk. No reason could be assigned
for the rash act The sequence OF
tragedies was completed before an
other week had elapsed by the myster-
ious disappearance one night Of
young sailor named Carl Reiche, 1g
years. a native of Germany. 1t is sup
posed that Reiche jumped overheard,
but as no one saw him leave the ship
the circumstances under which he met
his death can only be conjectured-
Reiche had been somewhat eccentric
in his conduct for some time before his
disappearance. One of the other sail
ors had reported that he was acting
strangely. and the mate of the ship
thereupon confined Reiche in an apart
ment which was used a a hospital
It is supposed that he forced the lock
of the door and, in a fit OF temporary
insanity, threw himself overheard
Captain Mallet states that there had
been no quarrelling among the crew
during the voyage. and he is at a loss
to account for the suicide of the two
sailors.

QUEEN OF PACIFIC
STEAMER MANUKA

A brand new passenger steamer, the
Manuka, arrived yesterday from Bris-
| bane en- route to Vancouver and Vic
toria, taking the place for one voyage
| of the steamer Moana which is being
| overhauled in the Colonies. The Ma
| nuka, a handsome vessel of about $500
tons, came in yesterday at an early
hour and moored at Naval dock No
?, departing for British Columbia yes
terday afternoon at p. m.
The vessel was filed with passen-
gers, and everybody spoke we'll of her
accommodations. Among the passen-
gers are a number of Dowfe's converts
en- route to Zion City They spent
much of their time on the steamer
singing hymns and otherwise enter
tanning the other passengers Among
the passengers are also Charles Holds
worth. manager of the Union Steam
ship Company of New Zealand, and
A. L. S. n. Co., both en- route to the
st. Louis Exposition
The Manuka sighted on Saturday the
Steamer Upolu which is cruising in the
South Seas. The Manuka and Ven
tura sailed from Sydney within three
quarters of an hour of each other and
arrived here about the same time.
The Manuka left Sydney on May 16
and experienced fine weather all the
way up Her officers are E. Phillips,
commander; T. NJ. Hunter, list officer;
J. Hazard. I'd officer; r. Barlow, Sd
officer; F. G. Kendall, 4th officer: D.
Patton. chief engineer; B. B. Bendall,
purser: ]. T. Heeley, surgeon; J. Bev-
eridge, chief steward.
There are many innovations aboard
the Manuka not seen in other vessels
calling here. Her main deck is broad.
roomy, and has a canopy overhead
formed by the bridge deck. The main
deck has MEETINGS strung all around so
that cricket may be enjoyed. The after
end is rallied off so that second class
passengers have the benefit of a very
fine portion of the deck. As the yes
sci is broad of beam, there is plenty
of promenade room. The main en-
trance opens practically upon the sill
verware pantry. This leads to the
resting saloon and a fine staircase
leads to the roOmy dining saloon.
On the boat deck are six large steel
boats and one steam launch of six tons
capable of developing II knots per
hour The latter is used when the YES
sci lies in a port any length of time.
The steel boats are always kept pro-
visioned with sea biscuits contained
in alright lockers. The water break
ers are refNed every two weeks and
charcoal added to keep the water
clear. The apparatus for getting the
boats over the side is So simple that
a child can operate it. There are also
two collapsfble boats. The steering
gear room is very large and arranged
so that workmen can work about II
with ease. The steering gear is ar
ranged so that five chances are given
to operate the rudder in case of ac- |
