VIII Carry Contraband.

The Pacific Mail Company's liner Manchuria,
carrying for Japan a large quantity Of cargo
classed by Russia as contraband, will sail to-
morrow for the Orient The freight for Japan
includes steel. barley and machinery, S eNell
leather and lead. The privilege of shipping
cargo for Japan on the Manchuria was limited
to the Southern Pacific Company and
one or two local shippers. Other local shippers
have merchandise for the island kingdom, but
to them was quoted General Manager Schwer-
in 3 order refusing shipments TO ports within
the zone. The railroad company and the
few favored shippers had enough freight TO
load the liner. and freight rates will be ad-
vanced before the next sailing the privilege
of shipping on the Manchuria is worth having.
AS the Pacific Mail Company Will get most OF
the accumulated japanese freight at advanced
rates their acticn in refusing cargo for Japa-
nese and other ports on the eve Of advance
in rates is now looked upon as a shrewd busi-
sincerity when he told the Congressional Com
mittee the other day that there was no senti-
ment in the game of business as he played It.

WILL BE TRIED
By SAME JURY
DIR. Benjamin F. StOll's Case
on Judge Cooks Calendar
This Morning to Be Reset
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Supreme Court Holds That
Error Was Committed in
Instructions to Acquit

The case OF DIR. Benjamin F. Stoll.
charged with murder, will be called
in Judge Cooks court this morning
to be set for trial. The Judge has in
structed the clerk Of his court to nOti-
fy each of the jurors who tried the
case before to appear in court so that
they can be impaneled to retry II.
DR.. Stoll is a member of the firm OF
Decker & StOll, dentists. Phelan
building. DR.. Robert j. Blake was
also connected with the firm. There
had been trouble between Stou and
Blake regarding patients and 1t came
to violence. on the afternoon OF Oc-
tober 16, 1902. Stoll shot Blake, who
died three days later.
StOll was held to answer and was
tried before a jury in Judge Cooks
court on January 8. 1903. The de-
fense set UP a plea of self defense
and after hearing the testimony the
Judge instructed the jury to return
verdict of acquittal and StOll was
discharged from custody.
District Attorney Byington fled an
appeal on the ground that the Judge
erred in fnstructing the jury TO ac-
quit. The Supreme Court recently
sustained the appeal and ordered a
new trial. The remittitur was re-
ceived by Judge Cook on July 25 and
the case is on the calendar for this
morning TO be set.
AS the Judge takes the ground that
the same jurors shall retry the case
it is expected that they will render
another verdict of acquittaL The rea-
son for their selection Is that they
had not at the previous trial an Op-
pOrtunity of rendering their verdict.

RAINFALL IN MONTANA
CAUSES GREAT REJOICING
Downpour Extinguishes Forest Fires
and RepIenishes WaterhoIes Upon
Which Herds of Stock Depend.

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 21-A Miner
special from Kalispell, Mont, says
that heavy rain fell yesterday, the
first of any consequence in the past
two months. The downpour aided ma
terially in helping to extinguish the
forest fires which have been raging
in Northern Montana for the past ten
days. The outlook is for more rain.
Stockmen are rejoicing over the storm,
as stock has been in distress as the
result of the great scarcity of water,
the watering holes in many instances
being dry.
The rain came too late to be of any
great benefit to the hay and grain
crops.

decided that the prospects of playing
in Japan, China and India were not
promising, so all of those countries
were cut out of the tour, and it was
decided to return home by way of Am
erica. The prospects for concerts in
America are fiattering, so Manager Ad-
lington arranged for a series of so con-
certs i'm America and Paderewslli is
now going to fill them.
Paderewski is accompanied this trip
by "A special physician. This is the first
time that such an attendant has been
necessary, but inasmuch as the orig
inal plans called for the artist visiting
countries where he would be more sub
ject to sickness than in Europe or
America, it was decided to have a ply
sician in constant attendance upon the
artist DR.. NJ. Ratynski, a Frenchman,
is the physician.
Herr Paderewski is exactly like his
picture. His bunchy hair is the most
striking feature about him. It's a dull
faded blonde hue. He wears a mus
tache and imperial red in color. In size
he is rather a small man of nervous
temperament. He is very affable and
converses perfectly in English, al
though with a slight foreign accent. He
was especially interested to learn about
Hawaii and when informed of the ex-
tent of the volcanoes expressed the ut
most astonshment.
During the voyage the visitor did
not give any concerts aboard the ves-
sci, but he participated regularly every
day. The Steinway Company had sent
a special piano to the steamer for him.
This morning he purchased a newspa-
per and passed considerable time read
ing at the breakfast table.
Paderewski is paid an all but fabu-
lous sum. He is paid 1000 pounds for
every performance. During the present
trip he has thrown away enormous
sums by refusing to appear when the
booking has not been up to expecta-
tions. He was advertised to give a
concert at Auckland last Thursday
week but failed to make his appear
ance. When he discovered that some
score of important settlers who had
Travelled hundreds of miles to hear the
great tone poet were furious, ne sent
out his agent to the hotels and invited
the GROWERS to a private recital at his
hotel. He also gave them supper and
they declared him "a jolly good fell
low" 1t did not matter what the
crowd thought of the matter.

TAKE WARNING
FROM HONOLULU
SAMOA DISCUSSING IMPORTATION
OF THE MONGOOSE TO KILL
RATS.

APIA, Samoa, Nov. 21.-The Govern
ment has received a letter from an au
lucrative source in Honolulu, in which
the writer condemns the importation
of the Mongoose as a rat exterminator.
The writer states that these animals
were introduced into the islands of Ha-
waii, Maui, MOlokai and Oahu. and at
first gave every satisfaction as rat kill
ers. But when the rats became scarce,
they accustomed themselves to eating
eggs, poultry, etc, in consequence of
which the rats increased again.
No mongoose We're introduced into
Kauai as the rats were not very trOu-
blesome there. AS result there is an
abundance of poultry on that island.
The writer advises against the intro
duction of the mongoose to Samoa, as
the animal is not to be relied upon as
a rat killer.
This opinion, coming as it does from
a place where bitter experiences have
been made with these animals, carries
so much weight that it should ef6ectual-
ly stop the Importation of the mon
goose to Samoa.

Ignace Jean Paderewski, the famous
Polish pianist, is a through passenger
aboard the S. S. Ventura for San Fran
cisco. He is accompanied by his wife,
physician, manager, man and his wife's
maid. This morning Paderewski and
party got into hacks and were driven
about the city. This is the first time
that the famous pianist has ever visit
ed Honolulu.
"This is certainly a most interesting
place." said Paderewski this morning
before he left the vessel. Il regret ex4
ceedingly that L can not remain longer
but the schedule OF the steamers is
such that we could not make arrange
ments to have the vessel arrive last
night so that 1 could play. would like
very much to visit these islands and
see more of them. We visited the vol
canoes in New Zealand
THE trip has been delightful. Aus
trala and New Zealand were new pla-
ces to me. The trip that was made
from France to Australia was the long
est that 1 have yet undertaken. We
were to have gone to India, China and
Japan, but the war necessitated a
change in our plans" But while Pade-
rewski was explaining interest in Ho-
nolulu the hackdrivers were making it
interesting enough for the manager by
trying to charge him enormous rates
for cab hire.
Paderewski would have given a con-
cert in Honolulu had it not been for his
inability to arrange for a change in the
schedule so as to give him one night in
port 1t had been hoped that the ves-
sci could be gotten into Honolulu last
night so that the concert could be Civ
en-. ]. D. Spreckels, of the Oceanic S.
S. Company, was cabled to by w. Ad-
lington, the manager for PaderewskS
and requested to order the Ventura to
get into Honolulu Monday night but
Spreckels was absent from San Fran
cisco and the arrangement could not be
made.
Arlington, the manager, had planned
a very extended tour for the artist.
From Marseilles, they were to go TO
Australia and New Zealand and then
to China, Japan and India, and return
ing to play in Egypt, Constantinople
and Greece as Paderewski had not ap-
peared i'm any of those places, and the
Sultan of Turkey had expressed the de-
sire to hear the famous artist. The
Japanese Russian war necessitated a
change of these plans however 1t was
