TIN BATTLE Of

of the battle between the japanese
and Russian fleets:
I'VE first saw the Japanese at 6
o'clock on the morning of May 9th,
when suddenly and unexpectedly we
encountered the enemy's fleet as we
were moving to the east of Tsu is
land. They steamed toward US and
opened fire. Only ninety minutes
after the firing began a sudden shock
was felt under the Admiral Nakhim

rapidity. My belief is that she either

After payments for lease of piers in

President E. II. Hartman reported
that the increase in receipts resulted

WAS STRUCK
BY A TRAIN
Chun Hook instantly
Killed Yesterday
Afternoon.

Chun Hook. a Chinese driver in the
the slaughter house, was struck by a
train on the Oahu railway yesterday
afternoon and instantly killed. The
man was driving a horse and cart a
cross the railroad track when the S:2O
through train to Kabuku came along.
Either the Chinaman did not see the
train Or he misjudged the distance for
he deliberately drove on the track in
front of the rapidly moving engine.
The pilot struck the horse and carried
him on the front of the engine for 300
to a stop. The cart was demolished
and Chun Hook was thrown to the
ground and instantly killed. The en-
gineer of the train was J. Jose. He
has a reputation of being a careful
man and has been with the road ever
since it was started. Sheriff Henry
took coroner's jury out to view the
body and the scene of the accident.
The inquest will be held this noon.
Hon. H E. Cooper, was a passen-
ger on the train that ran over Chun
Hook but remained at the scene of the
accident until the arrival of the coro-
ner's jury and returned to the city
lowing account of the affair last night:
Il did not see the accident. in fact I
do not think any passenger did. What
I know I gather from what I saw aft
er it was over. The engine evidently
struck just behind the horse carry
ing the animal and the two front
wheels of the cart with it for some
distance. The man was thrown into
the cattle guard and I should say that
the force with which he struck was
what killed him. His body was in the
cattle guard when the train passed
over it but it was not touched by the
train, being down in the pit of the
guard. The crossing is a private one
maintained by the Wagner Stock Yards
Co. The train was not going at it's
normal speed as we had just left the
city and had not yet speeded up. This
is shown by the fact that the rear car
was not more than fifty feet beyond
the place of the accident when it
stopped. The track is straight there.
I could not say whether the whistle
was sounded or not

AMBITION OF RAwL1Ns.

Perhaps a bit of sidelight is thrown
on the coyness of Deputy Sheriff Raw
Inns in the matter of the shrievalty
by some information that leaked out
yesterday relative to the real ambi-
ton of the gentleman. Rawlins, it is
said, cherishes dreams that would car
ry him much higher than the shrievaI-
ty of the poor little county of Oahu.
L will be remembered that, from time
to time, there have been rumors about
the possible resignation of Secretary
Atkinson for this, that or the other
reason. Well. it seems as the tale is
told that Rawlins has taken these
stories much more seriously than any
body else does who knows Jack, ana
has expressed to a number of people
his desire to fill the place in case Mr.
Atkinson should lay down the burden
of state.
And, of course, as everybody knows
the Secretaryship is but stepping
stone TO the Governorship. And SO,
probably, Rawlins did not care to
waste himself on smaller game. But
it is pity, perhaps, that the thing
was not made more clear at the time
Because, Rawlins's first expressed
purpose to run against Brown knocked
him with the anti-administ stration
crowd, and he finished by knocking
himself with the other crowd when he
at last refused to run against Brown.
And the leaders on both sides know
what they know. There never was a
clearer case of hesitating until it was
eternally late between two bundles of
hay than that. Also. some other things
were made clear. 1t is a mark of
executive ability to make up your mind
and keep it made up.
