body from the other islands will there.
fore be able to leave for their homes
in today's steamers.
District Attorney r. w. Breckons has
won the admiration of the grand jurors
by the able manner in which he has
conducted the business. He had the
United States cases so well prepared
that there was no time wasted. II a
witness was lacking for the moment
when one case was called. Mr. Breckons
at once substituted another case.
There was consequently a steady pre-
sentatfon of matters for investigation.
COURT BUSINESS.
On the roll call of trial jurors yes
terday E. E. Hartman and T. w. Hob
ron failed to answer and attachments
were issued to bring them into court.
After a number of excuses had been
granted, the available panel was reduce
ed to seven men. A special venire was
issued for eighteen men returnable to-
day.
The sentence of John Samoa who
pleaded guilty to Illicit liquor selling,
was continued till today.
Captain William Treanor, master of
the American schooner NJ. Turner, was
arrested on Kauai by Marshal Hendry

ment for smuggling and selling liquor

EXCLUSION ACT CASE.
Judge Dole yesterday rendered a de-
cision in the Paug Kun habeas corpus
matter. in which the father of the sub
ject ccntended that the boy was un-
lawfully prevented from landing. His
conclusion reads:
1T is well settled by repeated deci-
sions that the Federal Courts have no
authority to review the decisions of
Immigration officers made under au-
tnority OF the statute affecting tha right
of aliens to enter the country.
The immigration officer was given
constitutional authority by statute 10
determine the question of the right of
Pang Kun to enter the country, subject
to his right to appeal to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. He has
decided the question against sucn right.
The said Pang Kun has had his an
peal to the Department of Commerce
and Labor, and the decision of the I'm
! migration officer has been confirmed
and such decision is made final by the
I, statute. Unless it should appear that
Pang Kun was deprived of a hearing
under the statutes referred to, or that
the Immigration officers had in some
way failed to conform thereto, SO that
the question had arisen in the case
whether he had received the benefit OF
due process of law in the trial of his
claim that he had a right to enter the
, country, this court would have no juris-
diction to interfere.
| Il find no basis for interference in the
| facts alleged to the petition and the
demurrer is therefore allowed and the
petition dismissed The Marshal is or
dered to deliver the said Pang Kun to
the respondent for such further pro-
ceedings as are required by law"

TWO UNIQUE RAILROADS.

The rails of the Mexican Gulf Rail-
road are laid on mahogany s1eepers and
the bridges built of white marble. In
West Mexico is "a line with ebony
sleepers and ballast of silver ore drawn
from the mines beside the track. The
engineers constructing these railways
had no other material on the route,
and found it cheaper to use these seem-
ing extravagances than to import the
ordinary material.
