HOW BANGALORE
WILL Be DELAYED
SHIP A. j. ROPES MANAGED TO
NOSE OUT BANGALORE BY AR
IRVING YESTERDAY.

When Captain Blanchard of the ship
Bangalore arrives at Kahului he will
probably be the maddest man in the
Hawaiian Islands. He will find the
ship A. j. Ropes in that port to take
sugar ahead of him and in consequence
there will be another DELAY for the
Bangalore.
The Banagalore arrived here from
San Francisco came into the harbor
and remained several days sailing on
Monday for kahului. 1t was supposed
that the vessel could start loading su-
gar Immediately after her arrival and
discharge of ballast, as there was no
other boat in port, except the s. S.
Nevadan, and she gets away this week
But these calculations have been up
set by the arrival of the Ropes That
vessel made Kahului ahead of the San-
galore yesterday from Yokohama so the
Bangalore will probably nave to- wait
several weeks before she can begin
to load for Delaware Breakwater. Both
she and the Ropes are under charter
for that place.

A PREACHERS YARN.

Some Of the newspaper stories that
come from England really put the mo-
dest New York yellow journals to
shame. The latest one from the other
side is credited to a minister who is
made to say that he was in the country
a while ago watching a farmer feeding
his sheep. The man was doing out
oats with lavish hand and the pastor
noticed that some of the grain fell on
the backs of the sheep. About three
weeks later he was in that same sec
tion of the country and called on his
farmer friend He went out to take
a look at the sheep and was much sur
prised to see that the grain which had
fallen on the backs Of the animals had
taken root and grown to a nice, wavy
height.

SENATE HAD
SEVERAL FIGHTS

There were several scrimmages in
the Senate this morning. Both of the
fights were on measures from the
House. The principal fight occurred
over House Gill No. 3 empowering the
Superintendent of Public Works to fix
the sewer rates. The judiciary COM
mittee reported favorably on the bill
urging that it be passed. Senator
Achi spoke in favor of the measure as
did Senator .Isenberg They claimed
that the bill provided authority for the
government to secure a revenue on
the sewer system. The revenue would
be sufficient to pay the wear and tear
or the plant and pay the wear and tear
the bonds. Both Senators contended
that the bill should be passed because
under the present system. there was
no legal right whereby sewer rates
could be charged by the government
Both said that lit was the poorer
classes who were Ignorant of the law
who were bluffed into paying. SEN
ator Paris opposed the measure and
wanted action taken on it at the next
session of the legislature. On his mo-
ton seconded by Senator Kalauokalani
the bill was tabled.
Another fight occurred over the
Houses joint resolution to provide a
county act commission. The Home
Rulers and Senator Woods favored
passing the resolution but after con-
siderable debating and several ballots
being cast action was postponed by the
close vote of to 6.
The Senate finance Committee report
ed adversely on Senate Bill No. IA
known as the License Law. The com
mittee held that as the policy of the
present extra session was to cut down
expenses and not to consider means of
raising revenue, the bill should not be
passed at the present time. The report

terminated by reason of such cruel
treatment upon their election to leave
the vessel at Honolulu.
THE disrating of w. B. Dyer and A.

was justifiable, but they should have
been allowed the regular wages of or
binary seamen therefor.
THE court awards to w. B. Dyer and
A. Anderson and V. A. Bitner as dam
ages, wages of ordinary seamen en-
ployed for the same voyage; to wit:
three pounds and ten shillings Sterling

of the beginning of the voyage, to

chest with costs.

THE METCALF ESTATE

In a majority decision the Supreme
court, Galbraith dissenting, this morn
ing handed down decision refusing a
rehearing in the case of Frank Godfrey
trustee, VS.. John Kidwell, involving the
settlement of the Metcalf estate. JUS
tice Galbraith dissented in the original
decision, and says the petition for a re-
hearing confirms him in his dissenting
opinion, while the opinion of the court,
by Justice Perry, .disposes Of the points
raised in a manner set forth in the
syllabus as follows:
The mere omission to notice in the
opinion a certain point submitted, is
not good ground for a rehearing If the
point was in fact considered by the
court particularly where it's determine
ton is necessarily involved in a deter
mination of the other points which are
referred to.
"A rehearing will not be granted on
the ground that the petitioner failed
to argue certain points on the hear
ing.
The rule in equity as to transac tons
with "Expectant heirs" does not APP
ply in a case where the granter's in

with the right to immediate enjoyment

weight and under certain circumstances
especially on pure issues of fact, would
be allowed to control, the Supreme
Court nevertheless is authorized and
has always exercised its right and duty
to weigh the evidence and to make it's
own findings"
As to the final contentious in favor of
rehearing the decision says:
The only additional ground urged is
that this court aid not give due weight
to the decision of the circuit Judge, and
that an appellate court sits. not to do
original justice between the parties,
but to determine whether the court be-

findings of the circuit Judge are given

be allowed to control, because he had

House Bill No. 5, relating to mali

HOUSE MORNING
SESSION

The House this morning did little ex-
cept committee work. There was some
disagreement over band and hospital
subsidy items, but agreements were
finally reached, and it is believed that
the House will concur with the Senate
in putting them back in the bills.
Representative Pail made a motion
that the committee on Public Health
be instructed to attend the examina-
tions of lepers at Kalihi station to-
morrow. He said that the House
should be familiar lsitb the work of the
Board of Health, and that II was wef1
known that there were persons confined
as leoers who showed no sign of the
ulsease OF leprosy. The motion carried
without opposition

? Judge Dole this morning decided the
Ivanhoe libel case, sustaining the char
ges of cruelty to seamen, but awarding
them as damages only the amount OF
wages which they would have received
anyhow had they not left the vessel
here. The decision says:
This is a libel in rem for damages in
the nature of wages for cruel treatment
of the libellants by the officers of the
British bark 1vanhoe, the libellee. The
master, George w. Grant, interviewed
for the owners and filed his answer.
Upon the evidence received in the
trial of this case, and the law applica-
BILE thereto, the court finds as follows:
THE charge of cruel treatment of the
libellants by the First Mate, is sustain
ed by the evidence. The master was
cognizant of such treatment of the Ii
bellants by his subordinate officer, and
failing to protect them therefrom, the
ship is liable.
"The libellant, J. H. Bayeer failed to
complain of the mates conduct at Iqui-
qui, the first port reached by the YES
sci after the beginning of the voyage
and where there was a British consul;
he is therefore deemed to have condon-
ed the same so as it affects his con-
tract of hiring and employment on the
said vessel, and has no legal claim for
damages in this court.

NJ. F. Prosser, who prosecuted the case
"a conviction would have been impos-
sible, and Mr.. Doyle did very slick work
in getting it. Sheriff Coney is entitled

Doyle was enabled to secure the con-
fession by his knowledge of Japanese,
having fastened the crime upon Mat

with others in Doyle's hearing. The
arrest and trial, with practically no
evidence for the defense Immediately
followed.
Judge Hardy pronounced the death
sentence yesterday. Matsutaro took
it with stOicism. In reply to the usual
question as to whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be imposed, he said that he had moth
