PLAYED OUT
COURT TOWN

jury term of the Second Judicial Circuit
Court held at the Lahaina courthouse,
with Hon. A. n. kepoikai as presiding
judge, has passed of in, most un.
cventful manner. On Wednesday
morning Of last week the grand jury
began its work, which was completed
the same afternoon. But one case was
considered by it--a case of mayhem
in regard to which no bill was found.
| No investigation by it of the admin.
istration of public affairs was consid.
cred necessary.
On Monday of this week the trial
jury met at Lahaina and was adjourn.
ed on Wednesday after the considera.
tion of several civil cases of little gen.
eral interest.
1t is stated that the Lahaina jury
term held always in October is rather
unpopular with attorneys who prefer
to plead their cases in Wailuku where
they have among other advantages ac-
cess to the law library, and where at
tendants upon court proceedings are
at less expense in regard to transpor
tation. etc.
1t is possible that this unpopularity
has had something to 40 with the small
amount of legal business transacted
during this October term.
POLITICS.
The political canvass seems to be on
the "still hunt order at present.
On Monday the Home Rule legisla-
tive candidates, Hihio and Kauimaka-
ole, were at Kua.

lite methods in politics to make house
toulouse visits, and where a whole loaf

didate or two).
There is Il rumor current that some
"knifng' of the Republican legisla-
tive ticket may be INDUCED in. Where
the advantage of such action to Re
publicans comes in Is hard to estimate,
for the opposition have very few strong
men in nomination.
Posters appear here and there in the
different parts of the island announcing
the candidacy of J. NJ Vivas for Coun.

THE JAPANESE VISIT.
The Japanese training skip Anegawa
sailed into Maui waters between 10 and
IL O'Clock Il. m. last Friday She did
not come into Kahulai harbor but lay
several miles out in the stream.' The
captain, though assured that he could
bring his ship in with safety, refused
to do so. This was great disappoint-
ment to the crowds on shore who wish
ed for nearer view and even had
hopes of visit aboard.
A committee of Maui Japanese
headed by Dotie-a former Puunene
storekeeper-visited the ship, bidding
the officers and men welcome to the is
land. The captain and two other Off
GERS tnen made brief visit ashore.
Speeches We're made in the new lumber
warehouse, but, as the building was too
small to accommodate the crowds, they
were repeated from the balcony of the
masonic temple. All the County Off
cials and leading citizens of Wailuku,
Kahului and vicinity were present.
After II STAY of half an hour or more
the officers returned to their ship in
sampan amid the "banzais' of the
multitude ashore.
just as the Anegawa was entering
the bay approaching Kahului daylight
fireworks were shot far up into the air
from mortar on shore. Among the
pieces was a Japanese flag and larger
American emblem.
The preyity Of the visit of the Off
GERS caused the abandonment of the
feast in place of which drinkables were
distributed freely among the people who
witnessed the wrestling contests in the
baseball grounds.
In the evening the celebration
terminated with display of fireworks.
