mick Peterson, the well-knoWn
hackman of the 1890 stand on King
street, attempted to commit suicide
yesterday forenoon by swallowing half
an ounce of carbolic acid. That he
did not succeed is not due to the po-
lice, for, with their usual sagacity, they
kept him in a cell at the station with
out medical attention, viewing him only
as common drunk The unfortunate
man is now at the Queens Hospital
in a precarious condition.
For the past four months Nick has
been on a spree. People about town
periodical debauches. Sometimes the
sprees lasted a couple of weeks, some
times a month. When they were mn
ished Nick cleaned up, swore off, went
back to his hack and was one of the
soberest drivers in town. But in the
past few months Nick has done moth
ing but drink, drink, drink.
About 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon
he went into the Honolulu Hotel on
Nuuanu street and went to his room.
Suddenly the inmates of the place
heard a scream. Mrs. A. Mcdowell ran
to Peterson's room and saw at once
that he seemed to be in great pam
He was then on the yeranda. An
empty bottle of poison was near by A
hack was called and Nick was taken
to the police station.
1t was learned that Peterson had OBJ
tanned carbolic acid from E Iwashita,
who conducts drug store at the cor
ner of Beretania and Nuuanu streets,
and had swallowed the contents at the
Honolulu Hotel.
When the hack took Peterson to the
police station the japanese hackman
said he had a fare who had refused to-
pay The police saw Nick inside in an
stupefed state. He was
brought into the police station and was
unable to stand on his feet His eyes
were bullying. He was put in cell
and no further notice taken of him.
Twenty minutes later Mcdowell. the
proprietor of the White House, came to
the station to inquire about Peterson
He produced the empty bottle which |
had contained carbolic acid. which was
abeled in red characters: Poison, |
rarbolic Acid Mcdowell said this
had been in Peterson's possession.
Acting upon this information Peter |
son was visited in his cell. He was |
seen sprawling on his stomach and his
ace was very much bloated. He was
hen removed to the hospital.
Peterson had engaged the room at
he Honolulu Hotel on Thursday, tell
ng Mcdowell that he had had trouble
With his Hawaiian wife. Yesterday

Something like 300 men are employed
by the line and no trouble has been
experienced with them since operati
commenced. 81
There is no doubt but that when the
line is completed Wahiawa will prove
a great attraction for Honolulu peo-
pie, not only on account of its splendid
climate, but owing to the short dis
lance the terminus of the branch will
be from Waialua.

PACIFIC IN THE WAY.

The dredger Pacific is dredging out
harbor muck from the main basin be-
tween the Oceanic and Hackfeld
wharves. When the Mongolia enter
ed the harbor yesterday and steamed
down to the Hackfeld slip, the Pacific
was worked back, but gave barely
room rough for the big liner to pass
safely by The Pacific was almost
grazed- A high wind was prevailing
at the time and the result of the
maneuverings of the Mongolia caused
the ship to veer off so that when she
headed into the slip she almost ram
med the bark Kaiulani then taking on
sugar on the opposite side. Fine sea-
manship on the part of the pilot pre-
vented an accident.

CAPTAIN James Rennie, formerly cap
tain of the Oceanic steamships Aus
tralia. Mariposa, Zealandia and Ala
media, and one of the very popular
commanders on the San Francisco-Hon-
olulu route, is a passenger aboard the
Mongolia en- route from Yokohama to
San Francisco. The Australia, which
Captain Rennie took to Vladivostok
with a contraband cargo. was cap
tured by the japanese last year, and
taken to Yokusuka Navy Yard as a
prize. Captain Rennie, however, glories
in the fact that he had discharged all
of his contraband cargo except 200 tons,
a feat not heretofore accomplished by
an American blockaderunner.
On January 4, Captain Rennie re-
ceived instructions to return to Jan
Francisco, as the japanese prize court
had decided that the Australia was a
prize-of war. The Captain, who had
been retained in Japan since September
as an agent of Lloyds to look after
their interests in the Australia, was re-
leased by the insurance firm, and is now
en- route to San Francisco. As the S. S.
Zealandia has just been sold by the
Oceanic Company, Captain Rennie is
now practically without a command.
Should the proposition of Honolulu
capitalists mature, whereby two steam
ers Or at least one steamer, is put into
service on a San Francisco Honolulu
run, the vessel to be owned by local
capital, it is believed that Captain Rem
ME VIII stand a good chance to get the
Job as commander.
Captain Rennie first visited Honolulu
in 1875. as mate of the Australia. on
her first trip to this port. For twenty
six years Captain Rennie ran to the
port of Honolulu. With him was asso-
ciated at various times Tom James, now
a resident of Honolulu, and yesterday
the two old comrades of the sea had /
publication. The Captain also visited
several of his old-time friends In
years gone by Honolulu people used to
wait weeks just to travel on the boat
commanded by Captain Rennie ana
stewarded by Tom James.
A baby figures largely in the capture
of the Australia. When the Australia
left San Francisco she had aboard no
less parsonage than the governor of
one of the Russian provinces. Captain
Rennie steered his vessel with excel
lent skill. One night when in the
Ohkotsk Sea searchlight was thrown
Oh the Austfalia-a japanese search
light. The Australia managed to dodge
the light. She discharged most of her
cargo at various ports
Then the vessel was to call at a GER
tain port to take off a Russian naval
officer and his wife. The vessel called
all right, but word came from on shore
that the officers wife had just given
birth to a child and she could not
come aboard
The vessel cruised around and came
back, but the woman was not in condi-
ton to be taken aboard The result
was, when the Australia started home
ward she fell into the arms of a cruiserl
commanded by Vice-Admiral Togo.
who recently died in Japan and was
buried with great honors. This is not
the great Admiral Togo of Port Arthur
fame.

Mcdowell saw Peterson drink some-
thing, and then he screamed and stag
gered out to the veranda and sat down.
Afterwards, with the assistance of a
Mr.. Redwood, Mrs. Mcdowell got Peter
son into a Japanese hack. The hack
man later turned up at the police sta
ton with the half-dead man.

NICE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS

The awful political conditions that
prevail in States long controlled 10y the
Republican party, shows the depravity
Of Republican leaders. The voters
seem to have but little to say. Some Of
them attend The caucuses aud conven-
tons, but these ahj-ctly follow their
leaders AID endorse their wort doin9s.
When it comes to the elec ion they
show still lss independence, for they
march to the polls tn ratify the tirket
named 10y the bosses. Occasionally a
