A MINE CONTROVERSY.
Opening In Ohio But the Coal Is In
West Virginia.

The great States of Ohio and West
Virginia are likely to soon get into
controversy over a matter that is
rather peculiar, and is the only case
of its kind ever known, says the Nor
gantown Chronicle.
The conflict that will bring the two
States into clash, unless some set
Element is effected, is over the La
Belle coal mines in the lower part of
Steubenville. The mines are not work
ed in Ohio as is the general belief,
but instead they extend east and run
under the Ohio river. and across into
Brooke county, West Virginia. The
coal from under the river has all been
mined and at present the mines are
being worked in Brooke county. 1t
is TO determine under whose juris-
diction the mines are that friction is
likely TO ensue.

The Judge sat down at luncheon at
l12:27 this afternoon. His wife want
ed him to wait until half past, but he
gayly replied that he was too hungry.
He partook heartily of egg plant dur
ing the meal, and ate large dish of
red raspberries from his own garden.
One of the berries fell over the side
of the dish, but was deity returned
without staining the cloth.
Judge Parker sat on the front porch
for half an hour after luncheon. 1t
was excessively warm and it was no.
ticed that the heat made him yawn.
Some of his trends fear that he is
working too hard, as this is the first
time that he has yawned during the
day since the convention. He pooh
poohs the idea, however, and insists
that he never felt better. He will be
carefully watched, nevertheless.
The afternoon was uneventful. a
number Of visitors were received, in
Guiding his farmer. a strip Of fence
along the south pasture is in need of
fixing and the farmer was anxious for
instructions. 1t is officially denied that
this incident has any insiSnificance.
The South will be solidly for the Dem
ocratic ticket without any fixing of
fences.
Judge Parker's daughter and her
two children drove over from their
home shortly before o'clock. The
Judge greeted his little grandson en-
Enthusiastically and took the little fellow
of his knee for a chat. During this
chat the lad said:
"Grandpapa, l wish you would let
me have nickel. l bought, some
candy before 1 left home and had
to ask the man to trust me-
Mrs. Hall, his mother, gave a cry
of alarm when she heard him and it
is understood that the boy will be
cautioned never again to use the word
trust in his grandfather's hearing, at
least not until after the election.
Judge Parker was observed to frown
slightly when he heard it.
Judge Parker read from former
President Cleveland's article on
STEADY, Democrats, Steady with
great deal of interest just before he
was called to dinner. He seemed par
ticularly interested in Mr.. Cleveland's
Endorsement of Senator Tillman's ex-
preston that Providence has taken
kindly hold on our affairs" He knows
now where to put the blame if any
thing goes wrong.

ASSUMES OFFICE

A. l.. C. Atkinson, Secretary of the
Territory, took actual hold of his office
yesterday morning. His commission
was only received from Washington
the evening before he left in the U. S.
S. Iroquois with the Government expe-
dition to Lanai and Kahoolawe, which
returned in the first hour of Sunday
morning. Secretary Atkinson's install
latlon relieves Governor Carter of
much routine in administrative affairs,
as the Governor had been keeping up
the ordinary business of the office since
his own incumbency of 1t.
This morning the Secretary will re-
sumo the settlement of the Chinese

possible will be sent in" Mr.. Atkinson
said yesterday afternoon, "as / want
to get through with them" He. did
not think there was any time limit, or
that there could be such, on the pres

Mr.. Boyd's charge.
The Education office is not disposed
to acquiesce in the latter proposal. If
the educational exhibit is to be all, or
nearly all, the show of Hawaii at St.
Louis it is the opinion of the Educa-
ton Office that a representative of it's
own, familiar with every detail not
only of the exhibit but of the Terri
torial public school system, should pe
sent to look after it and to explain to
visitors from all nations at st. Louis
all about education in Hawaii
In the meantime the Education office
declines to have the exhibit packed

rooms. 1t is deemed that it is in best
hands while in the custody of those
who have seen to it's assembling. Be

QUIETING TITLE
OF HAIKU LANDS

The Attorney Generals department
has rendered an opinion to the Gov
ernor on the application of w. O..
Aiken for a quitclaim deed to three
pieces of land in Haiku, Maui. 1t is
to the effect that the application comes
within the provision of Section POI of
the Civil Laws of 1897, providing for
the quoting of title, where equitable
grounds are shown, to property in
which the Government may have an
apparent interest.
These Haiku lands were decided to
Governor Kanoa for Victoria Kama
malu, who sold them before the great
mahele or land distribution. The
Kings Council decided a portion of the
Haiku lands to Minister Armstrong In
consideration of public services. Then
at the great mahele the Haiku lands
were awarded to Victoria Kamamalu.
the award giving her "all remaining
portions" The cloud on the title
arises from the question of whether
Victorias award included the remnants
disposed Of before the great mahele.
Commissioner Pratt will be asked to
look into the matter. but in the mean
time the Government Is not believed to
have any interest, as IL the deed to
Kanoa is not a valid link in the title
the remnants go with the Kamamalu
awards
