is understood that they are to receives
a cash advance for their immediate
needs.
The selection of a site for their vii
lage is to be left to the settlers. The
Makee Sugar Company has agreed to
surrender leases to the lands they ars
to occupy and as fast as this is done,
Land Commissioner Pratt will be pre-
pared to transfer the land to the Mo-
lokans The location of their homes
the distribution Of sites, etc, win be
left to the Molokans 1t will probably
be some time before all these prelimin-
aries are Strengthened out and the con-
struction of new homes for the MolO-
kans is begun. In the meantime, IL Is
expected that the Molokans on the
China will be reinforced by consider
able number more, and year will
probably see quite village of home
steaders settled somewhere on the five
thousand acres of land to which the
Makee Sugar Company is preparing to
surrender its leases.

The steamship China eft San Fran
cisco today, bringing with her. as is
supposed the first lot o Molokans from
Southern California to settle on Kauai.
They will arrive here next Monday
morning if the steamer makes schedule
time, and arrangements are being made
here to look after them and send them
to Kauai at once. They will probably
leave Honolulu for Kauai on the same
day they arrive here, and their terms
of labor will start at once.
The Molokans come prepared to build
their own houses and lay out and set
tie their own village somewhere on
the lands which the Makee Sugar Com
pany is to surrender to them, and it
will be interesting to watch their set
tlement There are buildings on the
ground now, which they will take as
temporary quarters. There are quarters
which were built for Portuguese and
others. The Molokans will settle in
these, and work for the plantation. 1t

fore the local police court. He testified,
it is stated, that very few of them are
che ia cases. Nearly all the hundreds
of cases which are prosecuted before
him are paikau cases, che ia arrests
being few and far between. This is
said to have been the judges testi-
mony, and the jurors are likely to say
there should be more che ia arrests.
The business of the che ia banks is
believed to be a good deal reduced by
the investigation but the drawings
come off regularly just the same. The
leading agents are in hiding, however,
and it would not be surprising to learn
that some got away on the China.
Some of them are known to the Grand
Jury and may be indicted. Amin win
have to answer for perjury, in all
probability.
In spite of the good work done by
Attorney General Peters and the jury,
it seems to I've settled that the che ia
banks will run on just about the same,
under present laws. The profits are
said to be enormous. one single bank,
that which is supposed to be run by
Amin, is caFCu ated to be making some
thing like $500 a day profit and is said
to have Ovcr hundred agents, Jap
anese, Hawaiian and Chinese.

had been the preparation of a document
which didn't take half an hours work.
The district magistrate, after hearing
a lot of testimony and dispositions, up
held the doctors, and they appealed to
the circuit court.
Judge Lindsay heard the case at
nine o'clock this morning. Judge Stan
ley and Frank e. Thompson appeared
as counsel for the three doctors and
H. G. Middleditch for the lawyers. Ex-
pert legal testimony was adduced, to
show that $25 was enough for the legal
services performed by the Hilo firm
and the latter admitted having received
the $25, Judge Lindsay thereupon gave
a judgment for defendants for costs,
and the lawyers noted an appeal The
amount involved in the controversy
has already been far exceeded in the
the exercise of valuable and expensive
legal talent on both sides of the
controversy, but the end may not have
arrived yet.

The fire on the S. S. Texan is very
serious. 1t was thought at one time
last night that the fire was under co2-
troll but no such condition existed this
morning. After considerable discus
sion it was decided to put water on
the lime and slack it,
Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
Engine No. 1 of the local fire depaet-
ment began to pump water into the
hold of the big steamer. Water is
being thrown into the steamer at the
rate of 800 gallons a minute by the
engine, through three lines of hose
while two other lines of water are bein
thrown into the vessel by the pumps of
the steamer. Steam at the rate of so
pounds pressure is also being pumped
down the hatch of the vessel. 1t is es-
timated that the loss to the cargo will
reach at least $4,000. The exact
amount cannot be determined, how
ever as the exact quantity of feed
and flour stored in the burning section
is not known. But the loss to this
part of the cargo is the smallest con-
sideration.
The stuff will be total loss. The
question that is now bothering Captain
Lyons and Freight Agent Morse is the
effect that the fire is likely to have on
the hull of the steamer. Morse said
this morning that he thought that the
fire would not effect the hull but other
people were very dubious about this
point In fact there is a possibility
that the fire may become so hot that
the interior of the vessel may be warp
and otherwise damaged. However this

THIS MORNING AND TEsTIFIEs ARE FEW PROS

The che ia investigation has not
stopped any of the four regular che ia
banks, but it has driven the agents to
cover, and great difficulty is being ex-
perienced in serving subpoenas on wit
nesses who are wanted by the Grand
Jury. The Grand Jury knows who the
agents are by this time. Evidence has
been unearthed to show who are the
announcers of winning words, when
and how the announcements are made
and largely who sell the tickets. This
morning the jury had District Magis-
trate Whitney for a witness and the
questions he was asked indicate fur
ther that the jurors will round out
their labors by roasting the local police
for failure to stop che ia.

morning there was no indications that
such would be the case. Chief of the
Fire department c. H. Thurston said
that while the fire was a nasty one to
fight, still the danger was not great
the indications were favorable for the
fire being put out.
The purpose in putting the water in
the fire is to slack the lime. AS soon
as the 1900 barrels of lime in that
section of the steamer will have been
Stacked then the fire will be out and
the work of discharging the stuff can
proceed. The matches have to be kept
covered however for it they were kept

likelihood, become a seething mass of
flames that would do untold damage to
the ship itself
DR.. Shorey and several other che
mists were consulted by Agent Morse
and Captain Lyons regarding the ad-
visibility of pumping carbonic acid gas
into the compartment. All of the acid
of putting out the fire 1t was stated
by the chemists that while the carbonic
acid gas would undoubtedly extinguish
the fire, still there were a number of
disadvantages which would result from
putting such a quantity 4,600 cubic tons
into the compartment. All of the acid
might not be pumped out and the pres
ence of the stuff in the hold would be
dangerous
The burning lime occupies only about
25 per cent of the space in the between

 ROBBED.
Aupearance of Saloon Indicates That He Made Desperate Struggle For
 His Life-Between S4OO and S5OO Stolen.

 MT. First owns farm at Garden City and has been there for few days on vacation. The country around Garden City Is rough and rocky with extensive woods and deep ravines. MT. First was going through the woods on his farm in search os muscadines and in his search he discovered some fine ones near by a large hollow log. He went to the log and was picking the muscadines when he heard something growl in the log. Thinking it was an oppossum and being a lover of 'possum meat MT First ran his arm into the log and grabbed the animal by the tail. When he did this the animal growled the louder and it was not long before he discovered that he had a wild cat by the tail The cat clawed and scratched terribly and although Mir. First's hands were al- most torn to pieces. he held on. fearing that If he turned it loose it would claw his eyes out. Finally the cat pulled loose from him. and with one terrific yowl fit made a bound into the woods and was soon lost from view.
