Major Conrad Preparing Case.

Major Holmes Conrad. who has for
the last year been engaged in prosecut-
ing the postal-frsud cases, is said to be
preparing the bill TO be filsd in the
United States Supreme Court by Brown
Bros, the American and English bank
ing firm, and the State of Virginia against
the Commonwealth of West Virginia to
fore. the latter to pay its alleged share
of the Virginia debt, which was incurred
before the State of West Virginia was
cut # from the Old Dominion.
1t is the intention to present This suit
to the Supremes Court at Washington
without unnecessary delay. The papers
will be voluminous, and they are being
drawn with great care, so as to avoid any
possible technicality.
Ii is understood that the sum West
Virginia is alleged to owe is $50, 600. 900
which includes interest. OF this SO, OOO,-
900 is due Virginia. and Brown Bros,
who hold the old bonds, claim the rest.
Associated with Major Conrad in this
great suit will be Wayne MacVeagh. the
noted Philadelphia lawyer; Clarence
Cary, Of the New York bar, and Alior-
ney General William A. Anderson, Of
Virginia, whose business it will be to
look after the States interests. Col. K.
p. Chew, of CharlestowD, w. Va, is
said to be one of the lawyers for West
Virginia. Brown Bros, it is stated,
have agreed to bear all the costs of the
plaintiffs. Major Conrad is now in
Washington at work on the preliminary
arrangement, and it is stated that the
suit will be brought against West Viz
ginia not later than the middle of De-
cember.

LESLIE LOSES LIFE
CLAIM NJ ON III. S, \. co,

a cablegram to Smith & Lewis states
that the Ninth Circuit Court of APP
peals has decided the case of Leslie VS.
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co,
Ltd, against the plaintiff, who appeal
ed from Judge Dole's decision in favor
of the defendant.
Leslie sued for $4,000 damages on
account of being laid off from employ
ment by the II. S. n. Co., claiming
that his engagement was practically
for life. He was engaged as a first
mate, having a masters certificate,
and, according to his complaint, he was
promised early promotion and perpet-
ual employment.
Judge Dole, in an exhaustive review
of the law bearing on the case, found
Leslie's claim untenable. An appeal
was taken by complainant to the ap-
pellate court in San Francisco. A ca
blegram to Smith &, Lewis, attorneys
for the defendant, yesterday announced
that the appeal was dismissed. j. ].
Dunno was Leslies attorney.

! plaintiff would pay the fee of twenty
| five dollars aforesaid, which in fact the
said plaintiff was fully prepared to pay
and did pay to the said defendant,
after the premature action aforesaid
! had been so dismissed as aforesaid, in
exact conformity with his agreement
as aforesaid, and for the purpose of
humiliating and discrediting the said
plaintiff before the said ladies, the said
members of the Honolulu Engineering
Association, and other guests at the
said hotel; and that, in consequence of
the violent and abusive language and
conduct of the said defendant, and the
commencement of said action and the
service of process therein as aforesaid
the said visit of said two ladies to
Walalua was broken up and cut short,
and they were escorted back to said
Honolulu by the husband of the one
and the father of the other.''
A second count goes further into de-
tails. 1t is alleged that, to humiliate
and discredit the plaintiff, and to bring
him into obloquy and disgrace before
the hotel guests and especially before
the two ladies, the defendant wantonly
and maliciously deferred the service of
the process until after the dinner had
commenced and the plaintiff was seated
at the dinner table with the members
of the Honolulu Engineering Associa-
tion, in view of them and of the other
guests. Humphreys is charged with
having "pointed out the said plaintiff
to the said deputy sheriff, - and about
half an hour thereafter, or s p. M, at
the instigation and under the direction
of the said defendant the said plain
tiff was called out from the said dim
ner-table and then and there by the
said deputy sheriff served with the
summons or process aforesaid. -
From the premises the plaintiff
claims $4,000 damages of the defend
ant.

BROKER POLLITz AND
LOCAL SILK CULTURE

Mr.. Pollitz, the San Francisco broker,
has been investigating the silk worm
industry and states that he will put
$4,000 into it. Silk worms have been
tried on these islands and their prod

60 per cent on raw silk, Mr.. Pollitz
believes that the local article would
sell at a large profit. Silk culture
would utilize a great many of the Japa-

The conference meetings are largely

The conference stepped out of the

session it admitted f. Stanley Carson

under the missionary rule, as the Rev.

very likely many farmers in the Maple

on more extensive scale another

threshing, feed grinding and many
other purposes on the farm and many
farmers have equipped their wells with
pumps that can be operated with a

Bishop Wilson's Duties.
Bishop Wilson, who is presiding over
the forty-ninth session of the Upper
Iowa conference, has already found a
very warm place in the hearts of the
clergy. He is a middle aged man, quiet
and sincere in his manner and brother
ly in his conduct. In his opening re-
marks he said he came as a brother
and asked to be received as such. As
he has mapped out his work the morn
ing hours are devoted entirely to the
open work of the conference. Be-
tween the hours of two and three in
the afternoon he receives those who
have special business with him-either
clergy or laity. At o'clock he
meets with the presiding elders ana
the laborious work of fitting in past
ors to charges is taken up.
