SOME VERSES

~ OHhO-fiSL EOO 0iis
The Spectre Carriage.
Down white, white road,
On summer night,
Went a carriage load
In the pale moonlight.
Hollow eyes and sunken cheek,
Faces gashed with a fearful grin,
Grunting strangely, trying to speak,
Oh, where had the strange load been?
I called in fear, no answer came.
waited still in the white, white, road,
When over me like a breath they ran,
Nor sign of caring showed.
But a stranger fear was with me then,
l knew as they went over me.
No carriage load of earthly men
Could these strange creatures be.
For the wheel touched light my quiver-
ing limbs,
The carriage parted on either side,
The strange men laughed as they saw
my fear,
And were gone on their wild, mad, ride.
Pots and Pans.
Do you know that once lived in a
world
OF suds in tin dish pan,
OF busting and sweeping and cooking
The minute the day began?

The Rain.

Cool and sole the raindrops fall
Against my cheek, and all

Wrapped round her close,
Yet 1t doth fail
To hide entire her beautiful face,
Or the lightning bushes
That cross it chase.

Fish Drift
Up At HiIO
FISH DRIFT ASHORE DEAD AT
HILO FOR THE FIRST TINE
SINCE THE SEVENTIES.

An unusual occurrence is reported by
Fish and Food Inspector ]. M. Harring.
Since last Tuesday large numbers of
dead fish have drifted ashore along the
on both sides of Hilo bay. There were
fish of many kinds; many large eels
that live near the bottom and other
deep water varieties.
The eyes of the fish were coated with
white as if having been in contact with
hot water or strong salt fluid Squid
divers at Seaconnett reported to Mr..
Herring on Tuesday that the water was
unusually warm, and this in connec-
tion with the appearance Of the fish,
leads Mr. Herring to believe that the
killing of them may have been due to
submarine volcanic action, connected
with the slight earthquake shock felt
the Sunday evening previous at Hilo.
Such a killing of fish occurred only
once befrore, in the 7O's during an
eruption of Mauna Loa.-Hilo Tribune.

LiCh0e Nut
Full Of Dope
In Evidence
SOME INTERESTING EXHIBITS
BEFORE THE JURY IN THE
FIRST TRIAL OF TERM.

A small lichee nutshell, half full of
opium, was an exhibit of much interest
to the first jury of the September term,
in Judge De Bolts court this morning.
With it were a fine opium pipe, half
dozen tins that had once contained dope
and one which was still half full, an
opium lamp, needle and Chinaman
who testified that he was an expert of
ten years standing in opium smoking
and had smoked some of the stuff in
the nut.
The case on trial was that of Chun
Hoon, charged with selling opium, a
poisonous drug, without having a
license so to do. Deputy County At
torney John w. Cathcart prosecuted
and w. T. Rawlins defended. The first
witness called was Won Yung, who did
the buying and smoking which led to
the arrest. He identified the lichee nut
most positively. He said he had
bought it, full of the blissful dope, for
ten cents. Then he had taken a pipe
and smoked it, and he was sure it was
real opium and not dream. He tes-
titled as a ten years expert that the
stuff was opium. Rawlins sailed into
him on cross examination, but Chun
stuck to his story of the purchase.
The lichee nut was examined with
considerable interest by the jurors,
and most of them took a smell and
looked wise. Among them is one Chi
nese who is an American citizen and
perhaps he had inside dope, so to speak
regarding the exhibit. The jury is
composed of the following: T. S. Chinn,

man, w. e. Kimball, H. A. Crabbe, H.
Wise, James e. Jaeger, Manuel Freitas,

VESSEL RETURNED LAST NIGHT
FROM MAKING AN IMPORTANT
SURVEY FOR NAVY.

After an absence of fifty-two days
the U. S. S. IrOquois, Captain Carter,
returned last night from Midway ISL
and, The vessel was engaged in sur
vey work of Seward Road and Welles
Harbor at Midway. The vessel left
Honolulu July IA and reached Midway
on July 10. For ten days rough
weather ensued with heavy rain
storms.
But from the date of the arrival Of
the vessel until August 30, Captain
Carter and Lieut.. Cushman and others
were engaged in making the surveys
They worked very hard, starting at
4:30 every morning and working until
6 p. m. The party did practically two
sessions work in one season. Thou
sands of soundngs were taken and 6S
borings to determine the character of
the bottom were made.
The expeditions was sent to Midway
for the purpose of ascertaining the
character of and amount of work that
would be necessary to deepen the bar
and inner harbor at Midway to enable
vessels of 25 feet draft to enter Welles
Harbor. Midway is being considered
by the Navy Department as a possible
advance naval base. The work done
by Carter's party demonstrated the
fact that a few patches of coral in
Welles Harbor will have to be dredged
out, but the bar will require consider
able work, as the coral and one rock
in particular, is very hard. Possibly
300, 900 cubic yards of material will
have to be removed, 1t. is possible
that the amount will be more or pos
sibly less, but Captain Carter has not
yet made up his report on this mat
er, so an exact estimate can not be
| given.
Two channels were surveyed, one to
the north and one to the southwark
from Seward Road, the entrance to
Midway.
The Iroquois brought back Profess
sor Donahue and Mr. Loebenstein who
had assisted in the survey, p. Peter
son, who went as the representative OF
Cation Brothers, and seven marines

CAPT. HUMPHREY THE DEPOT
QUARTERMAsTER ADVISED BY
CABLE THAT HELP Is COMING.

Supervising Engineer Donnelly of the
transport service left San Francisco last
night to take charge of the salving
work with the transport Sheridan. Ac-
companying him is party of wreckers
anod divers with various appliances for
saving the boat. The party left on the
transport Thomas at 11:30 o'clock last
night. The Thomas is not to partici-
pate in the work on the Sheridan as
she is making her regular trip to Ma
nila She ought to arrive here within
a weeks time. Captain Humphrey the
depot quartermaster received the ad-
vices to this effect by cable today.
The Sheridan is resting easily. Quite
a swell was running yesterday and last
night but the vessel does not appear to
have changed much in her position
Mrs. Peabody wife of the master of the
vessel, went to the trasnport yester-
day to her husband. She remained
over night and will probably return to
Honolulu today.
Captain Humphrey and Mr.. Webster
the dock superintendent of the trans
port service, went to the Sheridan this
morning on the steamer Twalani. The

Mkt Saito, the japanese Consul who
returned by the Siberia after eight
months in Japan had the following to-
say regarding the recent reforms in
immigration matters in Japan The
trend of the reform is to prevent the
Japanese who come here as laborers
from going on to the coast by the next
Steamer for it is only to the laborers
who have definite idea of working on
the plantations here that the passports
are issued.
The consul said: 1.-THE japanese gov
ernment has made and promulgated
several changes in the immigration
laws and has made many reforms. In
doing so it has been the aim of the
Japanese government to promote alike
the interests of the laborers and of
the employers.
"It is too early yet to say much re-
garding the effect that these laws will
have and one has to be careful not to

get exaggerated reports of the reforms.
The future must decide the wisdom of
the reports that have been made. 1t
is to be hoped that the changes will
have a beneficial effect both upon the
laborer and his employer.
"There are five principal changes in
the immigration laws and they are as
follows:
First, The power of the immigra-
tion agents is limited. They can in
the future only make arrangements
for passports ETC., but they cannot
make arrangements for their immigra-
tion. They are therefore no longer re-
quired to station an agent in the place
to which the immigrants are sent.

by the government in Japan will issue
the passports and they will be res
