RUBBER TREES FLOURISH. e.
Jules c. Carvalho has growing near
his residence two or three rubber trees
OF the sierra variety that yield rub
Der of a white color and good quality.
They have been trimmed by w. s.
Terry and the cuttings. about two hun
dred in number, sent TO the Louisson
plantation. where some experimental
ton in growth of the tree is being
made. The trees have yielded from
recent tapping, made at the wrong time
and not in the correct manner. about
four ounces of the rubber. The trees
are several years old and Is to 20 feet
in height. DR.. Clarke of Honolulu took
about 1900 of the seeds from these trees

CHINESE ARE AT OUTS.
There is trouble here in Hlo among
the local Chinese and there will be
wigs. or pigtails, on the green in a
short time unless some agreement is
reached.
The real cause of the trouble is not
quite apparent to the Caucasian mind,
but it appears that the members of
the Bow Wong have been put under
the ban by the Yin Shot Vol The
gaunteI was thrown down on Sunday
by Lai Hip. who said that if any man
belonged to the Bow Wong he could
not belong to the Yin Shot Vol. The
accusation made was that the Bow
Wong was a society pledged to the
support of the present Chinese dynas-
ty. whereas the members of the Bow
Wong Indignantly declare that, so far
from being supporters of the dynasty,
they are regular Reformers, with the
name blown into the glass.
The Yin Shot Woi is a Christian
church for Chinese but the statement
is banded about among local Chinese
that several members of that body are
also members of the Ye Wa Hing,
society whose objects are not supposed ;
to be in line with Christian tenets.
While the connection is not very
clear. there is reason to believe that
the i'll feeling between the different
factions is an outgrowth of the eX-
humation case which has yet to be con-
by the grand jury.-Herald.
CASES NOL-PROSSED.
Acting in his capacity as a deputy of
the Attorney General, County Attorney
Williams on Tuesday entered nolle
prosequis in the three charges against
T NJ Rowland on which the grand
Jury had found true bills. Rowland
i will be remembered, was Nformerly
captain of police here. The charges of /
made against him were
made by Orientals. Rowland was in
Honolulu when the grand jury found
aga.nst him. He promptly surrendered I
