RUBBER TREES FLOURISH.
Jules c. Carvalho has growing near
his residence two or three rubber trees
OF the sierra" variety that yield rub
ber 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
tion in growth of the tree is being
made. The trees have yielded from a
recent tapping, made ct 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
to Honolulu, and some 500 have been
sent to the Louisson ranch.-Tribune.
CHINESE ARE AT OUTS.
There is trouble here in Hilo 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 1t appears that the members of
the Bow Wong have been put under
the ban by the Yin Shot woi The
gauntel 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 woi. 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
rs banded about among local Chinese
that several members of that body are
also members of the Ye Wa Hing, a
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-
sidered by the grand jury.-Herald.
ROWLAND CASES NOL-PROSSED.
Acting in his capacity as a deputy of
the Attorney General, County Attorney
Williams on Tuesday entered nclle
prosequis in the three charges against
T. NJ. Rowland on which the grand
jury had found true bills. Rowland,
it will be remembered, was formerly
captain of police here. The charges of
embezzlement made against him were
made by Orientals. Rowland was in
Honolulu when the grand jury found
: against him He promptly surrendered
and returned to Hilo with the result as
record ed.-Herald.
DEPUTY SHERIFF TAKES A
TUMBLE.
Deputy Sheriff S. H. Haaheo Of Puma
met with a curious nishap on Satur-
: day morning. He had come into town
with a prisoner and had reported at
the office of the Sheriff. In leaving the
: office he tripped on the wire mat out
: side and fell. His head struck the
wash basin in the corridor which is
used by the police and an ugly cash
was torn across his scalp. He was re-
: moved at once to the Hilo hospital,
g where a number of stitches were re-
i quired to be taken in the wound. No
: serious results are anticipated.-Herald
I STABBED WITH A NAIL.
After a dehauch on Saturday night.
two fishermen who are chums and
e share quarters at Waiakea, got into
!, row. They were Manuel, Portu-
i guese, and Kahaku, Hawaiian. The
i exact cause of the trouble even they
can not now explain, but the men went
to the old wharf to settle matters
: During the fracas Manuel was stabbed
c in the left side of the abdomen, 1t is
said with a nail. Friends interfered
: and the wounded man was taken to the
S hospital, where he is getting along all
c right. Kahaku is under arrest with
