HONOLULU'S GAS
PLANT ASSURED

The Honolulu gas project has been
successfully launched in San Francisco,
the bonds and a portion of the stock
being placed there. The control will
be held in Honolulu and work on the
plant will be started very soon. Mr..
B. F. Peterson, an expert gas engineer
employed by the company, returned to
San Francisco in the last Mongolia,
after making a thorough inspection of
the city. His report is most satisfac-
tory. The most modern plant will be
erected and Honolulu will have a gas
concern second to none in the United
States.
The franchise was granted by the last
Legislature to w. W. Dimond and asso-
ciates, and it was ratified by Congress
and approved by President Roosevelt.

Mourning for Kruger.

PRETORIA, tTransvaaD, July 49,
General Botha, former Commander
in-Chief of the Boer forces, has pub
Hcly requested all officers, officials and
burghers of the late South African Re-
public to observe July II as a day of
mourning for the late former President
Kruger. He also expressed the hope
that all the old inhabitants would do
mourning for a month. General Botha
pays tribute to the ex-President for his
energy, and his efforts to make the
South African people nation and con-
cludes:
His death is all the sadder because
he was not permitted to spend his last
days in his own country. We shall al
ways feel this deeply, but will keep
silent"

YOUNG EVANS IN
COMMAND OF SYLPH

The Army and Navy Journal states:
1.-The U. S. S. Sylph will probably not
go to Oyster Bay this summer for the
convenience of the President and his
family. Last year the Sylph was at
the Presidents disposal Lieut.. Charles
F. Preston, u. S. N, commanding from
the time the Roosevelt family arrived
at their summer residence until their
return to Washington, being used for
Presidential picnic parties along the
Sound. The President will make at
least one trip to Washington this sum-
mer, and it is said at the Navy De-
partment that the Sylph will undoubt-
edIy remain on the Potomac with Lieut..
Frank T. Evans, son of Rear Admiral
Evans, in command. Secretary of the
Navy Morton initiated his career with
the Department by a trip on the Sylph,
following the precedent set by Mr..
Moody who, on the Dolphin, made ex-
tensive trips to the various naval STAN
tions and yards. In this way MrI
Moody gained a valuable personal
knowledge of the practical workings of
the Navy which no doubt will be of
great value to him in the Department
of Justice !.
Lieut.. Evans paid a visit to Hono7R
lulu with the Asiatic Squadron a few
months ago.

NO TRUTH IN PORT
ARTHUR SENSATION

TOXIC, July 16, ca p. m.).-The I'm
perial headquarters staff officially deny
the reports from St. Petersburg that
the japanese lost thirty thousand men
in a battle near Port Arthur on July
10 or 18th. Not shot was fired on
either date.
ST PETERSBURG, July Is. 1:35 p.
m.-Since the receipt from Toxic of an
official denial of the report of a Japa-
nese repulse at Port Arthur, with the
loss of about 10000 men skepticism as
to the truth of the report from Vice
roy Alexieff's headquarters has persu-
AIDED all circles, but the members of
the General Staff decline to accept the
denial unreservedly. While not insist
ing on the accuracy of the figures they
claim there is good reason to believe
that severe check was inflicted on
the japanese in front of Port Arthur
and it is considered possible that Cen
eral Stoessel may have made a report
of the subject direct to the Emperor,
who will not return here until tonight.
Although still in ignorance as to what
the official statement meant by from
japanese sources the officials here
maintain that Alexieff must have had
good reason to send the report. While
it is conceivable that the Japanese
themselves may have spread the report
for the purpose of leading General Ku-
ropatkin to believe that they viii not
advance any further in Manchuria. the
General Staff are not disposed to re-
gard them as guilty of such machiavel-
ism. Despite the attitude of the Gen
eral Staff. who evidently are reluctant
to give up a report for which they are
not responsible, the public ardor has
quite cooled down.
The American embassy today for
warded to Berlin another list of names
of Japanese prisoners. There are Ill
at Perrin, 10S at Kungur, SO at Soil
kamsk and 123 at Tomsk. The where
abouts of the 800 who were at sea, in
the Amur district, and who are now
scattered, has not been definitely es-
tablished.

motion of Mr.. Bailey OF Texas
Mr.. Efinger wanted to know how the
division was on the question OF Par
ker's telegram regarding the gold
standard.
Mr.. Iaukea, answering, first denied
that Parker's telegram was repudl-
alton of the platform. The convention
obtained the original copy OF the teIe-
gram from New York.
How did the Hawaiian delegation
vote?" Mr.. Effinger asked.

Iaukea answered. we did not apply

voted for and against the message TO
Judge Parker, because was out at
the moment the vote was announced.
Mr.. Iaukea, however, corroborated
the statement as reported that four OF
the six Hawaiian delegates voted for
the message to Col. Parker assuring
him that as the money question was
not before the American people. he was
accorded freedom of personal opinion
in that regard by the convention.
In answer to Col McCarthy's ques-
ton. where was DR.. Noblitt?" MFR.
Iaukea told of that delegates late ar
rival and went into details OF conven-
ton organization and the appointment
of committees, as the questioner had
explained that it was the absence of
DR.. Noblitt's name from any commit
tee which made him curious.

FINDS A CURE
FOR LEPROSY

LONDON, July I2-The correspond
ent at Rangoon, Burmah, says Captain
E. R. Rost of the Indian Medical Ser
vice has succeeded in cultivating the
bacillus of leprosy, and has made
substance from the cultures which he
calls leprolin, and which, when njected
into lepers, has a marked beneficial ac-
ton, alternating the symptoms of the
disease. Captain Rost has discovered
that the method of growing the bacillus
of leprosy is to extract the salts from
the nutrient media, and that the bacillus
of leprosy will not grow in the presence
of the salt. In order to make such
nutrient medium he distills beef ex-
tract soaked in pumice stone in current
of superheated steam and obtains me
dunn in which the bacillus of leprosy
and also that of tuberculosis grows with
the greatest ease.
Leprolin is made on somewhat similar
lines to those first employed by Koch in
the manufacture of tuberculin Over 100
cases of leprosy are being treated in
Burman by injections of this substance,
and the treatment is also being tried in
thirty places in India. Already four
cases have been reported cured, and in
great majority of those under treatment
the Improvement IS marked.

DELEGATE IAUKEA.

DELEIAIE
Col. Mccarthy, when the regular
business had been dispatched, humor-
ously introduced the returned delegate
from st. Louis thus:
'We have here one of the delegates
to the National Convention-the one
who nominated Roosevelt, and we want
to know why he did it,
Mr.. Iaukea went forward to the
chairman's right, saying he didn't be-
lieve any person in this community
would take the newspaper report about
the nomination of Roosevelt by a Ha-
waiian delegate seriously, because
there was no truth in it. Continuing,
he said that the Democratic party, so
far as the opinion of people who knew
the situation went, had not for some
elections past had as good an oppor-
funity of winning as in the present
campaign. This was because the plat
form adopted at st. Louis had united
all factions of the Democratic party.
After the convention had concluded its
labors all of the delegates were agreed
that faction had been eliminated.
He was glad while on the mainland
to see that public opinion was strongly
In favor of the Democratic party. Judge
Parker was an able jurist, a conserva-
tive man, a man whom the business
element wanted, one whom business
men supported and, the speaker believ-
ed, as good a man as the Democratic
party ever had for it's presidential; cam
didate in several past elections. He
was a man backed by the opinions of
such men as Mayor Mcclellan and
Senator Cockrell. Tt was the general
opinion that, if the first one or two
ballots failed, Cockrell would have re-
ceived the nomination. Bryan and
Hearst sent their congratulations to
Judge Parker. which were read in open
convention and applauded, showing
that all factions of the Democratic
party were united on the platform. In
proceeding to read the views of Mayor
Mcclellan of New York on the condi-
date, Mr.. Iaukea remarked that Nc
C1eIlan was a strong man, supported
by Tammany and spoken of as an
available candidate himself
Mr.. Iaukea only wanted to add that
the great question on which the Demo-
cratic party divided in the two last
elections was eliminated from the pres
ent contest. The committee sat for
twenty-five hours, Bryan opposing
Hills gold plank. Finally Bryan won

action. There was a good deal of con-
versation about dates before the sched-
ule as already stated was adopted
The committee had Friday down for
primaries, but the meeting fought shy
of the '.unlucky'' day. Mention of the
fact that the Republicans had taken
Friday for nominations only seemed to
make the argument stronger, although
it never occurred to anyone to note
that the Territorial Central Committee
was then and there laying out the cam
paign on a Friday evening. There was
a laugh, also. over the 18th for the pri-
mary elections, but after full discussion
it was deemed the most convenient
date. The nomination day was changed
all the more readily when Col. Nc
Carthy-who, by the way, was one of
the honorary vice-presidents of the
Democratic National Convention-an-
nounced that August 4 was his birth
day.

The Rev. A. w. Pitzer set pretty

three couples at once, but he is still

which is held by an American mis-
sionary on the island of Apemana.
This strange wedding, where thirty
one couples were united at once, was
solemnized in 1882. All the principals
were converted heatsens, and SO well
were the marriage bonds tied that IN
years later not one of the couples
was divorced.
The great wedding was one Of ne
cessity, rather than choice. All the
couples had signifed their intention
to be married with Christian rites.
Plans were made for separate we'd
dings, but missionary ship was wait
ing for the teacher who was 10 marry
the converts, and an approaching
storm made it necessary for him TO
read the ceremony with great haste.
If the natives had not agreed to en-
gage in a wholesale ceremony they
would have been condemned in six
six months more of single blessedness.
so the great party joined right hands
and assumed the solemn obligations
to their new faith.-Wash-
