GEAR CLAIMS
JURISDICTION
AS CIRCUIT JUDGE HE HAS THE
RIGHT TO HEAR PETITION FOR
REMOVAL OF CARTER.

Judge Gear has handed down a deci-
sion in the Parker ranch case overrul-
ing the demurrer to the amended petit
ton of ]. S. Low as next friend" of
Annie X. Parker for the removal of
A. W. Garter as guardian. Carter is
given five days in which to answer the
complaint.
In this decision of Judge Gears the
question of Jurisdiction is the main
point considered as the demurrer sug-
gested that the petition and motion
purported to be brought before a Cir
cult Judge sitting in Probate and that
no judge or court sitting in probate in
the First Circuit has Jurisdiction to re-
move guardian.
In deciding against this view the
Judges decision says
Il have been unable to find any statute
which either creates or confers jurisdic-
lion on any court known as the Prot ate
Court or any Judge styled the Probate
Judge On the contrary, jurisdiction
OF all matters which in over forty of
the states is conferred on probate courts
is given to the Judges of the several
Circuit Courts who have power at
| chambers to hear and determine such
matters.
81 have been greatly surprised to find
this condition of things, as many ques-
tions have been heretofore submitted
! for decision which involved the deter
mination as to whether or not the So
| called Probate Court or a Court of
Equity had jurisdiction in the premises
! The courts have heretofore proceeded
upon the assumption that there was a
court of probate here and this has
never been questioned up to the present
time so far as I know. That this should
continue is not a matter of surprise, for
many of the statutes have referred to
the Probate Judge and Probate
Court. g"
The decision follows, dismissing the
demurrer and continuing the action in
the meantime for the dismissal of Car
| ter as guardian.

together, there are $50 there now"
DO you have consumption in the Ha-
waiian islands,"
ITO some extent but chiefly among
the native Hawaiians, who are decreas-
ing very rapidly. In 1893 there were
more than 100000 natives on the islands;
sixty years later there were less than
10000, and today we have only about
10000. The Hawaiian Islands generally
are very healthful. Our temperature
is about as equable as that of any part
tof the world. We call our country the
Paradise of the Pacific and everyone
who visits us says the islands are
rightly named"
rs your tourist travel increasing"
Very rapidly. The Pacific Ocean is
becoming one of the pleasure resorts of
the nations, and with the big steamers
which have been recently added to the
Pacific fleets the travel will be greater
than ever. There are good hotels in all
parts of the far East, and Honolulu has
one of the finest hotels OF the Pacific.
It cost $1,SOOO00. 1t is a modern six
story fireproef structure, with a great
roof garden of one-third OF an acre,
capable Of seating $500 people We have
other good hotels in Honolulu and at
Waikiki, our seaside resort close by,
and also in other parts OF the island.
There are now good facilities of travel
from island to island, and there is no
place where one can see so much garnd
escenery under such pleasant condi-
tons"
rs Honolulu growing?"
Yes we have many new buildings,
and, all together, about $4,000 inhabit-
ants. The city has twenty miles Of cleo
trio car tracks, 1000 telephones, four
public parks, two Opera-houses, three
boat and yacht clubs and social clubs of
various kinds. In a business way we
have a chamber OF commerce, a mer-
chants association, seven banks and
. stores OF all kinds. The assessed valu-
alton of our property is $2S, 100000, and
the rate Of taxation is 1 per cent. We

SOLDIERS LIKE HASH.
Reports Received From Subsistence
Officers Of the Army.


The comn1issary general Of the army has
received some preliminary reports from
subsistence officers On the experiments
made. at various posts with hash. The
comments of the subsistence officers are
favorable to the article. the trial of which
was to establish Its lasting qualities and
to" familiarize the soldier with that diet.
The hash Is Intended for Issue to troops in
the field. and it is conceived to be a judic-
ious move to have the soldiers acquainted
with the article so that they would not re-
gard 1t when issued to them in time of war
as an experiment.
Some soldiers are very hard to please in
the matter of sedibles. The subsistence Off
Ger at Iloilo, for instance, reported recently
that the troops showed a fondness for the
ginger snap, which was part of the sub
sistence stores. The preference for the ar
ticle led the subsistence officer to subsu-
tute a proportion of the ginger snaps for
some of the bareback, with the result that
the gratuitous issue of the article. which
had been in such demand as purchaseable
food. led to kind of revolt, and not only
did the soldiers refrain from eating the
ginger snaps, but its sale stopped suddenly.

PRov1so STRICKEN OUT.
One Provision in Regard to Personal
Tax in the District.

The House committee on the District of
Columbia, which has had under considera-
ton House bill $3.50, prepared by the Com
missioners. and amending various laws re-
lating to taxation, has decided to strike out
the proviso in paragraph Of section vi of
the personal tax law passed two years ago,
which reads:
THAT nothing In this act contained shall
be construed to include newspapers. real
estate and mercantile companies, which by
reason of Incorporation receive no special
franchise or privilege. but all such corpora
tons shall be rated, assessed and taxed as
individuals conducting business in similar
lines are rated. assessed and taxed"
The effect of striking out this proviSO is
to place the above named companies under
the provision of the section which imposes
a tax of TX per cent on the assessed value
of the capital stock. This assessment Is to
be fixed by the board of personal tax ap-
praiSers at fair cash value. The law fur
Their provides that from the assessed value
shall be first deducted the value OF any and
all real estate owned by the corporation.
The real estate is to be separately taxed.
The decision of the committee to strike
out this paragraph was brought about by
the endeavor of the Commissioners to In
clude the words land other business COM
panies'' in the proviso. which the committee
will not recommend shall be eliminated
from the original law.
According to the calendar, Monday will
be District day in the House. 1t is doubt
full, however, if any District business will
be transacted that day, the measures to
be presented have not all been completed.

sHIPBUILDERs OBJECT.
Hearing on Bill to Admit Vessels to
American Register.

A subcommittee of the House committee
on merchant marine and fisheries gave
hearing today on bills providing for Ameri-
can register to six forelgn-built vessels.
Among those heard in opposition to the
measure were W. F. Palmer of the mari
time committee of the Boston chamber OF
commerce, w L Marvin and W. M. Plum
mer, representing shipping interests Of Bos-
ton and Bath Me-, respectively. 1t Is
claimed by the opponents of the bills that
the granting of register to these foreign
built ships will operate seriously to the
detriment of American coastw1se shipping.
Mr.. Marvin asserted that at the present
time there Is a surplus of American ships
In the domestic trade. The claim Is made
that there are seventeen foreign ships that
are seeking admission to American register
and that If the bars are let down for the
six they fear all will come in.
Never in the history of our govern
ment" said Mr.. Marvin. was there time
when the ship building industry was so de-
pressed, so discouraged and SO helpless as
today"
With reference to the Frye bill extending
the coastwise laws to the Philippines. Mr..
Marvin said there were represented at the
recent hearing on the bill before the Senate
committee enough vessels to carry four
times the tonnage now carried between the
United States and the Philippines.
C. s. McNeir and Mr.. Micou of Herbert &
Micou appeared in the interest of the ship
owners seeking register.

- PAss1B BY THE HOUSE.
The Agricultural Bill Goes Through
With Minor Amendments.

In the House yesterday, afternoon Repre-
sentative Sheppard Of Texas made a de-
ternined and persistent /. effort to bring
about a reform in the matter Of the distri-
button of seeds by the government. He
contended that the present system Is bad.
Mr.. Sheppards first move was to have
struck from the agricultural appropriat ton
bill certain sections, providing the machinery
for the distribution of the seeds authorized
to be purchased under the bill In this he
was successful his poirlt Of order being
sustained by the chair, but by an over
whelming vote the House promptly added
the sections to thu" bill by way of amend
ment. Only three members voted in Oppo-
sition to the restoration. Mr.. Sheppard
further effort was to secure an amendment
to the restored sections which would pro-
vide for the. purchase of rare and untried
seeds. but despite his earnest appeal for
this amendment 1t failed, and the bill was
left Just as the committee brought 1t into
he House so far as seeds for free distribu-
ton were concerned.
This was the only item in the bill that
aroused serious discussion, and with a few
minor amendments it was passed by the
House without division. The House ad-
journed until Monday.

RUM0R OF CLASH

Migration Is also considered as extremely
probable and Increases the depression per-
vading all political and commercial circles
in England and on the continent.
The news from st. Petersburg of the prep
aration of M. Kurino, the japanese minis
ter, for departure is not yet known in Lon
don. but official circles, the press and the
public have already practically unanimous
ly decided that nothing can avert war, and.
probably. the termination of the long delay
and suspense, when the first gun Is fired.
will occasion a sense of relief, and possibly
business improvement. Already Tokyo dis
patches announce that relief is felt there at
the fact that all doubts regarding the out
come of the negotiations have practically
been set at rest.
Prices on the stock exchange fell again
this morning, consols opening % lower.
Japanese IL lower and Russians 1 point
lower. Later consols improved 1-16.
The British post Office emphasizes the
critical state of the situation by announc-
ing that code kilograms cannot be accepted
for any place in Japan, thus confirming the
New York announcements to the same
effect
There is reason to believe that the sub
stance Of the last Russian reply has already
been communicated to the Japanese Legal
ton here and thence to the Foreign Office.
One long and several shorter cable mes
sages from Tokyo have recently been re-
ceived by Baron Hayashi the Japanese
