in Ammunition.

VladivostOck, March Ga fleet of
five Japanese battleships and two
cruisers appeared off this port at 100
o'clock, this afternoon, and bombarded

ticn of Askold island at the entrance
to Ussuri bay and about 80 miles
southeast of Vladivostock. Entering
Ussuri bay, the enemy formed in line
of battle but did not approach to d
closer range than five and one-third
miles. They directed their fire against
the shore batteries and the town, but
no damage resulted. as most of their
200 lyddite shells failed to burst.
The japanese fire ceased at 2.20 r.
NJ, and the enemy retired in the direc-
ton of Askoll island. Simultaneously
two torpedo boat dcstroyers appeared
near Askold island and two more near
Cape Maidel. The Japanese ships
were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to the
Russians but cost the enemy zoo, 900
rOubleS (S1G0.00O) in ammunition Most
of the rrojectles were c. and 12-inch
shells.
The population of VIadivostock wer,
warned this morning. of the presence
on the horizon of a hostile fleet ana of
the prospect Of an attack during the
day. but it remained tranquil.

Berger Wanted a Legal opinion,

differences with the legislature over the
matter of appropriations for the band,
and how legally to spend them, does
MT make any more experiments with
out being fully advised in the premises
When a farewell concert to Gov Taft
was first preached to Herr Berger he
consented but with proviso. He was
MT at all certain that he had right
to play band music on wharf on the
Sabbath day. So he asked Attorney
General Andrews for an opinion, first
whether it was legal for him to play
on a wharf on Sunday, when he had
already advertised concert at Makee
Island, and second whether 1t was law
full to play anything but sacred music
on the Sabbath. The bandmaster re-
ceived an affirmative opinion on both
questions and so the band concert was
played as advertised, and Captain Ber-
ger Is certain now that the legislature
can never throw II up to him when he
asks for his new appropriations next
year.

Ashford Loses His Suit
Against Rapid
Transit.

Judge Lindsay decided on Saturday
that the Rapid Transit Co. was not
compelled to carry C. w. Ashford be-
yond the power house after he had
been notified that the car in which
he had taken seat would be switched
off at Alapai street.
Ashford brought suit against the
electric street car company for $500
damages. In all three actions he
claimed that he boarded a street car
on King street, but was informed that
and was requested by the conductor to
take the car ahead. This Ashford re-
fused to do as the forward car was
filled and there were no vacant seats.
Ashford claimed damages for 500 in
three different suits, for the failure or
the company to carry out its contract
and carry him to his destination, in
stead of shunting him into the car
barn. He argued that there was a
violation of contract, while the defend
ant company contended that the plain
tiff had been plainly told that he would
not be carried beyond Alapai street,
and that he should have taken the
car ahead.
Judge Lindsay in giving his decision
simply held for the defendant. While
not passing specificallyo on the questions
raised, Judge Lindsay's opinion was
that Mr.. Ashford had been properly
notified by the conductor that the car
which he had boarded would not take
him where he wanted to go. Conse-
quently he should have either taken
the car ahead or else could have re-
fused to ride. On the question of the
plaintiffs right to a seat the court
did not pass. An appeal will probably
be taken by Mr.. Ashford to the Su-
preme Court.

LAWYERS FLOCK
TO GET A CASE

Nothing of Importance was learned
yesterday from Nomua, the Japanese
suspected of having fired the residence
of George Robertson on Saturday morn
ing. The man is held in strict con-
fnement at the Police Station. and no
one is permitted to talk with him.
Attorneys seem to have scented a
good case, with the fee attached, in
Nomua, for the officers nave been be-
sieged by lawyers who wished to talk
the matter over" with Nomua. The
Deputy has been threatened with all
sorts of court proceedings if he did not
let them into 'Nomua's presence, but
all We're refused the coveted honor.
Should Nomua be held it is believed
that he viii not want for funds for u
defence The presence of so many at
torneys seeking to defend a Japanese
who drew only the wages of n yard
boy, seems to indicate that there is
backing of some kind behind him.
1t is probable that the matter will
be investigated at first hand by the
grand jury The matter is likely to be
presented to that body today for con-
sideration.

A. 6. N. ROBERTSON's
FORCIBLE PLEA.

II very much doubt IL Congress can
delegate to the legislature of Hawaii
the power to amend the County Act"
said A. G. NJ. Robertson last evening.
While / have not given the question
very much study, it is my opinion, of
hand. that Congress cannot enact the
county law and permit the legislature
to amend it. And If that is the case
l am opposed to going to Congress for
relief and would advocate action by the
local legislature.
1T has been held by the courts that
Congress cannot delegate to executive
officers. legislative functions; by the
same reasoning do not believe 1t can
delegate the power to our local legis-
lature, to amend the county act, once
1t has been passed by Congress. The
passage of the bill now before Con-
gress is not ratification of the county
act, as General Hartwell said at the
meeting the other morning. but 1t Is
the enactment of a new law. 1t will
then become Congressional act and
in my opinion cannot be amended ex-
cept by act of Congress.
II believe the legislature can pass q
county act within the limitations Of
the Organic Act. 1t will take time,
though. The present act can be much
improved upon. The report had to be
made in hurry and before time was
given to carefully consider the pro-
posed bill.
IF as reported Congress intends to
modify or amend the county act, and
it seems as If this is likely to be DONE
it confirms me more than ever in the
opinion that the local legislature cam
not afterwards make changes In It,
The Organic Act does not, in my opin-
ion, delegate any power of amendment
to the legislature. The sections which
give the Legislature power to amend
existing laws refer to the old Hawai-
ian statutes and not to any portions of
the organic Act.
I'VE are without valid county act
now and the situation differs from
what it was before the decision of the
Supreme Court. Congress would not
now be ratifying an act of the local
legislature, for this is not a valid one
and it would be Congressional law
pure and simple. And ] am very
doubtful If Congress could delegate its
power of amendment to the local lesis-
lature. 1t Is n question which fur
nishes food for thought, and which
should be probed to finality."

Kauai which is offered by Sheriff Coney
for information leading to the arrest

dered Arthur Glennon, the engineer In

creased the amount to $1,000. Passen-
gers coming from Kauai on yesterdays
steamers report that the police have
obtained no clue to the perpetrators of
the outrage, although 1t Is hoped that
the big reward will induce some of the
japanese to inform on the murderers.
