HARD LUCK VOYAGE
OF SHIP WHITNEY

After voyage of 1902 days the Amer
lean ship Emily +. Whitney, captain
Goodman. arrived off port last evening
from Newcastle, en- route to Maxwell.
The ship, however was not 1O2 days
in making the passage direct, for she
put into sydney, n. S. W., "a rolte,
having been partially dismasted in a
gale after leaving Newcastle.
The vessel loaded coal at Newcastle
and was bound for Makaweli. In n
hurricane which she encountered short
ly after leaving Newcastle she was dis
masted, all her topmasts being carried
away. Sails were also carried away
and the rigging was badly cut up. Dur
ing the storm a sailor named James
Love was washed overheard and was
not seen afterward. She put into sgd
FEY where necessary repairs We're made
to enable her to continue the voyage
to this port.
When the Whitney was here last she
had a difficult time in going from Ho-
nolulu to Kahului, being about two
months on the trip. She was swept
far south in a northeastern and in beat
ing back to the Maui port struck baC

Told by a Honolulu Citizen for

like all which will follow about the
Old Quaker remedy, Doans Backache
Kidney Pills, it comes from residents,
fellow citizens and neighbors. No
other remedy can show such a record
of home cures. Read tNis case:
Mrs. Emma Vieira. Of King street,

and discomfort this entailed on me can

difficult for me to attend to them
while oppressed with suffering. The
way in which l found relief eventually
was by using Doans Backache Kid
ney Pills, procured at the HOLSTER

amount of good, as / now testify. i
should certainly recommend those who
have backache or any other form of
kidney trouble to try Doan's Backache

WILL INVESTIGATE
NINE ACCIDENT

Denver, Jan. 27-The Republican
this morning says: +. Lyman White.
a commissioner of the state bureau
of mines left last night for. Cripple
Greek. In company with T j. Nc
Carthy. one oi his deputy mine inspec-
tors. who was in Cripple Greek when
the accident happened. Mr.. White will
make a thorough Investigation OF the
breaking Of the cage cable in the In
dependence mine. the dropping OF the
cage and the consequent killing O
fifteen men.
Regardless of the fact that circum-
stances seem TO Indicate that the al
fair was an accident. a rigid inyestiga-
tiOn will be- made. 1t is claimed that
there are some suspicious circum-
stances to be explained away. and per
haps they will be when the investi-
cation is completed. II seems plain
that the cable broke because of the
great strain put upon it after the
cage had been hoisted above the shaft
floor and against the framework above
the shaft. but il Is not so certain that
the hoisting apparatus might not have
been tampered with.
When the Independence mine re
opened after the strike was declared
and before any men were sent down
on the cage 1t was found that some
person had tampered with the brak
ing mechanism Of the hoist. The ca
gineer hOisted the cage after sending
it down without any trouble but when
the cage neared the top OF the shaft
he found that he could not control
the hoisting apparatus, and the heavy
cage went up and crashed into the
roof Of the shaft house
The affair was Investigated by the
military authorities and they satisfied
themselves that some one tampered
with The braking device in order to
cause the death or injury Of some os

The other man, James Bullbek. had
a marvellous escape. He received some
severe bruises and some scalp wounds
but was rescued from the top timbers
without being fatally injured
As soon as the fact of the disaster
was learned by the men in the shaft
house, score of miners was sent down
