1t is so plain to the Russians, that
they think all who cannot see the yell
low peril are color blind.
Some people seem to be mighty fond
of their troubles, the way that they cul-
tivate their acquaintance.
1t is cruel the way some folks have
of dashing the budding hopes of a boy
by telling him that he looks like his
father.
The average young man does not
mind having a check to his career IL
the figures. run up into the thousands.
The wild wailing of the autumn
winds would really sound mournful If
we did not know that that is a little
game they play every year.
You can't always tell by the size of a
woman's pompadour how long it took
to comb her hair.
Some people chase illusions, others
hug decisions. The result in each case
is apt to be confusion.
The idle poor have a hard time hus-
thing to live and keep idle.
A counterfeit bill and a bad reputa-
ton are alike in that you can't lose
either.

MEN WHO WANT
TO SERVE JAPAN
WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS THE
MEN WHO APPLIED TO The
CONSUL GAVE.

The folloying is from the Hawaii
Shinpo. in regard to the efforts of
others than Japanese to enter the ser
vice of Japan. It was published un-
der the heading want to join us in
Bear hunting
There are a large number of white
people here we understand, who are
very anxious to join the Japanese army
or navy and take hand niteaching the
Moscovites of the ways of the civilized
world. so far theree Of them have
applied to the japanese Consulate and
inquired as to the official procedure in
this regard. Every one of them was
told by the consul that it was impos-
sible for him to satisfy the applicants
desire as the regulation Of either the
army or the navy would allow no
foreigner to enlist The first appli-
cant was an American. By way Of
illustrating his fitness for such service
he volunteered a statement that he was
n bomb maker by trade and, If he was
allowed to enlist, he could easily raise
three hundred more like him to cast a
lot with him. He would certainly be
welcomed by Nihilists if he had gone to
Russia, and lie might have served bet
ter for the cause of Japan in that way
than to join her army or navy. The
second aspirant was a German. He
was a veteran soldier Of a consider
able experience, at least so he testified.
For a number of years he had served
the Fatherland as an artillery officer,
before he came to this country some
ten years ago. The last ambitious man
was an American who had only a short
time ago been honorably discharged
from his army service at the Philippine
Islands

LEAVES
ON TUESDAY
GOES TO WASHINGTON TO ARGUE
THE FISHERIES CASE IN THE
SUPREME COURT.

Attorney General Lorrin Andrews viii
sail by the S. S. Sierra tomorrow, en-
route to Washington, to argue the fish
cries case in the Supreme Court of the
United States. He received a cable
gram from the Supreme Court stating
that this case would probably come up
for hearing the first week in March,
though it was not peremptorily set for
that time.
This suit is one of the most impor
lance to the Territory as it involves,
as a test case, all the private fishing
rights in the waters of the ocean adja-
cent to these islands, which existed by
ancient Hawaiian custom. These rights
are variously estimated, one estimate
going up into the millions.
These cases arise under the Organic
Act, which provides that all persons
claiming such rights must bring suit
in the Circuit Courts of the Territory
before June IA, 1902, to have their rights
established, and that when establ sh d
the Territory must proceed by con-
demnatiOn to acquire the title, and that
thereafter these rights should be open
to all citizens of the United States.
Seventy or more suits to establish til
tie were brought in the Circuit Court
of Oahu, and other cases on other 81
ands. In the case of S. NJ. Damon
against the Territory, Judge Humph-
reys decided in favor of the Territory
and as this case was believed to en-
brace all the questions of law involved
in the other cases, stipulations were
entered into by which the others were
to be continued until this one had been
decided, and that they would abide
the decision of this case. This case Is
now for hearing, and the Attorney Cen
eral goes to argue t

DOYLE BACK
FROM KAUAI
SAYS SHERIFF. COMFY DID GOOD
WORK IN GLENNAN MURDER
CASE-GAMBLERS ROUNDED UP.

Chester Doyle returned yesterday
morning from Kauai where ne has been
passing some days partially on pleas
ure and business. Fortunately for the
Kauai officers Doyle happened to be in
Lihue mt the time the Kauai police
were trying to get some clue to the
men VINO assassinated G.. H. Giennau
by blowing him up with dynamite. The
perpetrator was caught in Eva Mat
sumoto was his name.
Possibly fearing that the Kauai po-
lice might lose some credit for the an
rest of the man, Deputy Sheriff Rice
who came from Kauai after Matsumo-
to, deliberately misrepresented certain
facts regarding the arrest of the man,
and claimed that the fellow had been
arrested in connection with an embez-
element and not with the Glennan
murder If the desire of Mr.. Rice was
to deprive others of any credit for maxi
ing the arrest, his attempts have prov
ed fruitless for so far as any credit
in this murder case is concerned, the
Kauai police are entitled to very little.
The fact that the suspected murderer
had come to Oahu was related to the
Kauai officers by Japanese who went
down from Honolulu, and the much de-
sired man was caught by Special Off
Ger Nakamura of the Honolulu force.
Rice escorted the prisoner from Homo
lulu to Kauai, work that any school
boy might have performed.
Sheriff Coney," said Doyle this morn
| .ng. has worked very hard on this
case. 1t was a very fortunate thing
that the perpetrator of the crime was
apprehended, for had he gone uncaught
the fact might have led to the formation
of a regular band of assassins. Sheriff
Coney has also rounded up many gam
| blers on Kauai, and this will, no doubt
! serve to deter the criminal Japanese
from further depredations on that ISL
and.
The murderer confessed to me short
w after he was brought from Honolulu
In order that there might be no ques-
ton regarding this confession and its
admission as evidence, I caused Sheriff
| Coney and several others to come as
witnesses and again had the man to
confess. His rights in the matter and
the fact that the confession must be
voluntary were explained to him by me-
While the man claims that he is the on
Ily one concerned in the murder, l am
satisfied that he is trying to shield oth-
ers. do not believe that he committed
that crime unassisted. think tha'
three or four others are concerned II

ADACHI IS
COMING BACK
MARSHAL HENDRY CABLES TO
BRECKONS FROM JAPAN THAT
HE HAS HIM IN CUSTODY.

Adachi, who is believed to know all
about the doings of the Ten Dollar
Club, viii be back in Honolulu in the
custody Of Marshal Hendry on the ST.
IBERIA about March 4.
United States District Attorney Brec-
kons this morning received a cable
from Hendry, by the code previously
agreed on between Them announcing
that he had Adachi in custody, and
would return with him by the next
steamer, which strangely enough will
be the steamer by which Adachi left
here.
The America Maru arrived at Yoko-
hama February r. but it was not until
two days later that Hendry sent his
cable message. 1t is supposed that
those two days were spent by Hendry
in presenting himself to the American
consul and. Minister to Japan, in gett-
ing the necessary papers from the Jap
panese government and in the arrest
Of Adachi. When all was completed
he sent his cable.
In the view OF Ulited Gtates District
Attorney Breckons, the fact that Ada
chi was secured without difficulty,
shows that he was sincere in the let
ters he wrote here, both TO officials and
friends.
This success shows the Importance
and value of sticking to a thing, when
it is matter worth sticking to-" said
United5u States Attorney Breckons.
"Adachiis an important witness. We
believe9he can make important disclo-
sures."
The cablegram received from Hendry
! was the one word Kirk" According
to the code which had been agreed on
between Breckons and Hendry this
meant Have Adachi in charge and
come back by first boat" The code
had been arranged to meet every ex-
pected contingency. Another code
word agreed on was River" meaning:
Adachi not custody. Japanese Of
ficials looking for him
Still another was "Hadsell," Adachi
! left Japan; cannot get him.

.KAWAILANL FORFEITURE HOLDS

The schooner Kawailani is forfeited.
Olxolehao is a dangerous cargo to car
~. The drastic internal revenue laws
are found to be full proof.
United States District Attorney
Breckons received a cablegram this
morning from Marshall Woodwork, the
JInited States District Attorney for the
Northern District of California, an
nouncing that the Circuit Court of APP
peals had affirmed Judge Estee's deci-
sion in the case of the United States
against the schooner Kawailani.
May "a, 1902, Internal Revenue Col
lector Chamberlain searched the
schooner Kawailani and found a few
gallons of Okolehao aboard her, and
thereupon seized the schooner under
the statute and regulations providing
for the forfeiture of any vehicle, vessel
or means of conveyance on which shall
be found Illicit liquor contrary to the
statutes. Hong QuOn and L. Apana
came forward as>the owners of the YES
sci, and defended the suit brought in
the United States Court to enforce the
forfeiture by District Attorney Breck-
ems. They claimed that they knew
nothing about the carrying of the ko-
lehao, and that if it was carried, it was
against their positive orders to their
employees.
Judge Estee decided under the stat

SALE OF KoHALA'DITCH FRANCHISE is POSTPONED
FOR A WEEK AND A CONDITION REQUIRING

The sale of the KohaIa Ditch fran
chise which has been advertised to
take place next Friday has been post
poned for week, and an additional
condition of sale has been made.
These changes have been made at the
direction Of the Governor, word having
been received from him by Commits
sioner Of Public Lands Pratt this morn
ing.
The additional condition inserted is
enc requiring a bond from the success
full bidder that the requirements of
work to be accomplished during the
several periods of time allowed for the
construction Of the ditch will be COM
piled with Under the terms of the
franchise as it has been advertised, a
speculator, or some one opposed to the
construction of the ditch, might become
the successful bidder. II a speculator,
he would have a Whole year in which
to dispose of his franchise at an initial
payment to the government of $500, and
by paying another $500 he would have
another year. If an obstructionist, he
could delay the work two years at
cost OF $1,000.
The terms were made as low as pos
sible, and as liberal as possible" said
Land Commissioner Pratt, 80 as to
enoodrage the enterprise. The main

Siberian Railway Will
Give Poor Service

Krausse, a writer of authority on Asia
the Siberian Railroad is likely not to
prove a very hopeful asset to Russia in
the present conflict. In fact the trans
portation of troops and supplies over
that line is apt to prove a bigger task
than the railroad can fulfill
In his recent great work entitled
Russia in Asia" Mr.. Krausse says:
THE utility of a single line for the
conveyance of large bodies of men over
ever restricted areas is well known to
be extremely limited and the liability
of communications being broken very
great. In the case Of a trunk line ira
versing upwards of 1000 miles, the
shortcomings are largely increased, and
the possibility of Russia's being able
to convey an army, with all it's impe-
diments, across Northern Asia by
means of a railway, cheaply construct

equipped, is one which must be regard
ed as largely matter of trust in Prov

gard a railway as being the natural

requirements involved in the dealing
with large bodies of troops. Military
men, however, who have had occasion
