CHINA TAKES STEP FORWARD
Code Governing Legal Procedure Has
Been Revised.


Washington marked evidence OF
the reform which Is sweeping over
China can be seen is a recommends.
ton OF commissioners named by the
government to revise the code gov
hrning Chinese legal procedure, which
was recently submitted 10 the EN-.
press dowager and emperor for theiI
consideration.
Two revolutionary changes in the
legal procedure of China are sug
gested. These are the right OF trial
by jury and the employment Of at
torneys for the defense OF criminals
Never in the history OF China has tho
practice of law been recognized as a
reputable profession. The study of
law has been frowned upon from time
lmmemorial and only recently have
attorneys been permitted to argue
Eases In courts and this permission
has been limited to courts In coast
stiles where foreigners reside. Here
tofore a class of scribes versed In le
gal phraseology has been authorized
10 draw up petitions and other legal
documents. but these men have not
been lawyers in the broader sense.

Knew Their Lesson.

! I'VE were told little joke that was
per 2etrated the other day>on our most
excellent Superintendent of County
Schools, Hon. F. L. McChesney, that is
too good to keep, and knowing his
modesty in regard to telliag things
about himself we are going to tell it..
Mr. McChesney is noted as a fine
speaker, butts something of a crank on
the subjectof fire, and when he makes
his inspection tour of the public schools
he invariably asks the pupils what they
would do in case the building caught
fire. The teachers knowing this peculi-
arity of his, have coached their pupils
as to the answer which they should give
him.
He visited one of the primary rooms
at the city school one day last week to
see how things were starting off. After
hearing several recitations of classes.
Prof. Chapman made a few remarks
to the pupils, when Mr.. McChesney.
varying from his usual question, arose
and said:
You boys and girls have listened so
attentively to your Superintendent re-
marks that | wonder what you would
do if l were to make you little
speech?"
To the CONSERVATION of their superin
tendent and teacher one hundred voices
shouted in unison:
Form in line and march down
stairs.

The Home
Shows Times
Are Better
LESS AGED INDIGENTS AS RE-
SUIT OF MORE PROSPERITY,
SAYS w. o. SMITH.

Better times in the islands are re-
fiected in the 25th annual report of the
trustees of the estate of w. c. Luna
lilo, deceased, which is accompanied by
reports on the condition of the Luna
lilo Home for aged INDECENT Hawaii
ans. The home has been affected by
better times causing a decrease in it's
attendance, says the report. The re-
port on the home, by w o. Smith, con-
cIudes a. follows:
1.-THE general business of the COM
munity of these islands having inn
proved during the past year or two,
the number of inmates has consequent
ly lessened. 1t is noticeable that dur
ing hard times the number of inmates
increased and with better times the
number diminishes. The report for 1905
showed daily average attendance of
62.2, which was the highest daily av-
erage since the Home was established,
and the cost per capita was S1S455 as
against $19S.94 for the year 1904.
1.-THE average daily attendance for
the past year has been 50 at cost per
capita of $1S7.21.
"It is very much TO be regretted that
the Lunalilo Home, which is the only
institution in the ma cure Of a poor
house in these islands, Is not exempt
from taxation. The property is as
sessed at full value and the taxes

contributes nothing for the support Of
the poor as such and it would seem as

MANCHURIA
NEEDS A
BIC BOND
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LAYS SECURITY BEFORE SHE
CAN LEAVE PORT.

A bond of six hundred thousand dol
lars will be required to release the
steamship Manchuria, under the or
binary rules of admiralty procedure,
in view of the libel for 100000 placed
on her yesterday by the cable COM
pany, for services rendered by the Re-
storer The rule is that the bond must
be twice the amount sued for. BY sti-
pulation, however, a smaher bond may
be accepted. The Pacific Mail Com
pany is anxious to get the Manchuria
away either for San Francisco or
some far eastern port, where repairs
can be made, and She will be quickly
released. She is at present in charge
of Charles Mulleitner, as special dep
uty marshal
The question of the Restorer's right,
as a British vessel, to engage in salv-
age in these waters, has been discuss
de in view of the suit, andit is thought
by some that this question will be rails
ed as the first line of defense. The
attorneys for the cable company, how
ever, declare that there is no ques-1
ton about the Restorer's right to do
the work.
1T is a fundamental proposition Of
admiralty law, said S. NJ. Ballou, who
represents the cable company in the
action, that the nationality of a ves-
sci has nothing whatever to do with
salving operations The whole idea Of
the salvage laws is to encourage any
vessel, of whatsoever nationality, to go
to the rescue of vsesels In distress.
The matter of nationality of the Re-
storer is of no Importance in the case"
The Restorer was the most constant
of all the steamers that pulled on the
Manchuria. She stood by day and
night, holding on constantly, though
not using all of her tremendous power
except at times when attempts were
being made to pull the big steamer off.
1t was reported during the operations
that arrangements had been made
whereby there were definite contracts
for services to be rendered, and that
there would therefore h& no libels or
salvage claims. The SUIT by the Re-
storer put an end to such ideas, and it
was at once expected that number of
others would follow. Services of more
or less value are said to have been
rendered by the Eleu, Fearless, several
inter-island steamers dredger Pacific,
Pioneer and scow MelancthOn. There
is a prospect of long litigation, prob
ably ending only in the Supreme Court
of the United States.

Democrats
May Split
Over Delegate
HAWAII PEOPLE ARE OPPOSED
TO THE PARTY NOMINATING
ANYBODY FOR DELEGATE

Senator Palmer p. Woods and some
delegates from Hawaii arrived this
morning by the steamer Kinau to at
tend the Democratic territorial conven-
tiOn. The indications are thar a dis
pute may occur in the party regarding
the matter of nominating a delegate in
opposition to Kuhio. The sentiment
from Hawaii seems to be that there
should be no delegate nominated by the
Democrats this year.
The Democratic organization on Ha-
waii is undoubtedly the strongest and
best conducted of any in the entire
territory and the Hawaii people think
that they should have some support,
from the rest of the party. The inten-
ton of the Hawaii representatives
seems to be to combat all attempts to
nominate a delegate this year, reserv-
ing the expense of the campaign for the
next time
The suggestion of endorsing Motley
the Home Rule candidate for Congress
in exchange for Home Rule endorse
ment of Iaukea for sheriff of Oahu
county will, it is understood, be COM
batted by the Hawaii interests. The
advices from Hawaii are to the effect
that the Democrats should leave the
Territorial delegate nomination blank
and to ignore that feature of the cam
paign. The Hawaii people seem to
regard such fight as a hopeless one
and the leaders assert that they do not
want to see the integrity of their party
organization on the Big Island injured
by any such nomination no ma tter who
the man may be.

FIRST TNf F 4EE TI$fANDs
A LETTER MAJESTY QUEEN KAAHUMANU
DIFFERENT
TOGETHER AGAIN, YEARS AFTER WAS


Secretary Lydecker of the Board of
Archives has found and put together
the fragments of curious letter writ
ten by an English doctor, in 1926 to
Queen Kaahumanu, almost demanding
that he be given some Feather pres
ents" for services he had rendered.
Feather presents would mean a cloak
of some kind, and the least valuable of
these were worth five hundred dollars
or more.
The letter was from DIR. Davis, sur
geon of the Blonde, which came here in
command of a brother of Lord Byron,
bringing the bodies of the Hawaiian
monarchs who died in London The
letter had been torn in two many years
ago, as if its tone had given offense,
and one part was in one trunk of ar
chives and another trunk. A third piece
has been lost, but the context can be
