When Don Emanuel arrived his
eyes we're bright with hope. his
troubles were at an end. All would
be well With joyous voice Don
Emanuel told the commissioner @1at
his sister was 10 receive him and it
was pretended for a while that she
could not be located at the address
the brother gave. Meanwhile, Com
missioner Watchorn Investigated
and found, he says, that Nine
Clavant has been in business with
her husband in Jersey City for If
teen years, and is wen able TO sup
port her brother.
Don Emanuel. Ike other persons
arriving who failed to find rela-
tives TO identify them, or who were
suspected of being unfit candidates
for American citizenship, was plac-
ed in detention pen with a group
of immigrants. mostly Of the lowest
class. Many Of them were crooks
and thieves who had FOUND their
various European counties too
hot for them and nearly III were
dirty in the extreme. Ama.g them
the old spaniard, tan. erect and
white, bristling mustaches and i'm
perial, stood out as Enthusiastically OF
higher type.
He has a wide education, a lnOwl-
edge Of many languages, and tho
four days IN that detention pen
were not pleasant. Still he bore
the trial bravely, hoping that his
sister would soon be found. Kind
hearted persons had heard his story
and interested themselves IN his be-
half So he was taken from the ter
rible detention pen, away from the
crooks and cut throats and placed
in the room for detained cabin
passengers.
The next day the Spanish consul
general IN this port. Gen. Arturo
Baldassanoy Topete, learned Of Don

ested- He viii make an attempt TO

Cadiz as comfortably a. possible.
Don Emanuel was pretty near the
end Of his resources wnen he left
Cadiz. He had only s45 when he was
examined at Ellis Island, and in
failing health, the authorities could
i not let him land without the as
surance Of relatives or friends that
| he would not become a public
charge.
Don Emanuel does not know yet

Had No Heart TO Tell the Truth

The immigration officers, realiz-
ing from his personal appearance
ond from his evident breeding and
education, that they had to do with
an extraordinary case, had not the
heart to tell him at first that he had
been detained, that he could not
put foot upon American soil until
they had been convinced that he
had enough money to keep him out
of the almshOuse. They told the
white-hnired old man that tbey
were busy trying TO find his sister
for him IN Jersey City. Yet all the
time she was refusing to receive
her brother, even though the off,
cials ascertained that she was
well able TO give him home in
comfort.
Don Emanuel's story is that Of a
modern Lear, unless perchance 1t
IS proved that his daughter in the
East has a kinder heart than cir
cumstantial evidence so far collect
ed goes to show she has. For he
wrote to her more than a year and
half ago that he had come to the
end Of his resources in Spain. that
he must leave the Old World and
come 20 her aunt or to her. His
plan was to journey 70 America,
meet there his sister and live with
her until his daughter should send
him the money with which TO join

SETTLE IT YOURSELVES
Thus, the committee has issued in
structions to the seventh Precinct Club
to take up the matter of Mahelona s
alleged treason and settle it within the
club-which is a pretty clever passing
of the buck.
Vida's appeal to the Territorial Com
mittee from the ruling of the County
committee in the Mahelona matter was
taken upon the following grounds:
list. That the County Committee of
the Island of Oahu has no authority
of jurisdiction upon the Seventh Pre-

Representative District.
End. That party discipline demands
the expulsion of known traitors.
3rd That the interests of the Re

statements:
1st. Mr.. Solomon Mahelona, the
Secretary of the Seventh Precinct Re

to have the said committee restore to
him the roll book of said precinct.
End. The Executive Committee OF

Nuuanu dam discussion, here is an ex-
tract from Charles Reade's Put Your
self In His Place:
"They dined at three, and at five
they got up, as agreed beforehand, and
went TO inspect the reservoir in course
of construction. A more compend-
jous work Of art was never
projected. The contractors had taken
for their basis a mountain gorge,
with a stream flowing through it down
towards Hillsborough; all they had to
do was to throw an embankment across
the lower end Of the gorge. and turn
il into a mighty basin to receive the
stream and the drainage from four
thousand acres of hill. From this lake
water-supply to the mill-owners below,
and the surplus to the people of Hills
borough distant about eight miles on
an easy decline.
at starting, and then would be eighty
feet deep in the center, and a mile
long, and a quarter of mile broad, on
the average, an embankment of uncon-
mon strength was required to restrain
so great mass of water; and this was
what the Hillsborough WORTHLESS We're
curious about. Close to the
works they found foreman of en-
gineers smoking his pipe, and interro-
gated him. He showed them a rising
wall, five hundred feet wide at the
base and told them it was to be ninety
feet high, narrowing gradually to a
summit twelve feet broad. AS the
whole embankment was to be twelve
hundred feet long at the top, this gave
some idea of the bulk of the materials
to be used; those materials were clay,
shale. milestone and sandstone OF
looser texture. The engineer knew
Grotait, and brought him a drawing of
the mighty cone to be erected. Why,
it will be a mountain said Little
=" Not far from that, sir; and yet
you'll never see half the work. Why,
we had an army of navvies on it last
autumn, and laid a foundation sixty
feet deep; and these first courses are
all bonded into the foundation, and
bonded together. as you see. We are
down to solid rock, and no water can
get to undermine us. The puddle wall
is sixteen feet wide at starting, and
diminishes to four feet at the top; so
no water can creep in through our

But what are these apertures? in
quired Grotait.
s. oh, those are the water pipes. They
pass through the embankment oblique-
ly, to the weir dam; they can be opened
or shut by valves, and run off ten thou
sand cubic feet of water minute.
But won't that prove a hole in your
armor? Why, these pipes must be in
twenty joints, at least
Say fifty-f1ve; you'll be nearer the

And suppose one or two of these
