THE new YORK LEGISLATURE
APPORTIoNMENT TANGLE MAY
PREVENT EARLY ADJOURNMENT.
Solons Want to Quit Albany on Fri
day--Recount Bill May Be
Settled Thursday.

ALBANY, June 3.-Unless something ex-
traordinary should happen the legislature
will adjourn next Friday. Only getting in a
tangle over apportionment can prevent it.
That there is no desire on the part of any
one to prolong the stay of the legislature is
evidenced on every hand. Everybody wants
to get away except those who draw sal
aries ranging from IS to 81 a day long
as the legislature is in session.
Mcclellan and the Recount.
Now that it is certain that Mayor Nc
Cellan will get the recount bill back to the
Legislature by Thursday at the latest, that
removes one obstacle that has been in the
way Of adjournment. The only other mat
ter that can cause a delay in getting away
is the reapportionment bill. Before Senator
Tully went home last Wednesday the gov
ernor told him that he didn't care to look
thoroughly into the scheme Of apportion-
ment as laid down in the tentative bill that
Senator FULLY has drawn until after he had
finished his Hall of Fame speech. Since
Thursday the governor has had plenty of
opportunity to study the question of re-
districting the state. Tomorrow Governor
Hughes and Senator Tully will confer on
the bill, and after this conference it is GER
tain that the bill will be drawn to meet the
views of the governor.
Before Senator Tuly submitted his ten
tative plan he talked with the governor on
his idea of making changes, and the gov
ernor suggested some changes in the shape
of queries, such as: wouldn't it be better
to have that county with another county?'
Often the governor expressed approval of
the plans outlined by Senator Tully. Conse-
quently it isn't believed mat there will be
any serious differences between Senator
Tully and the governor on any proposition
Gov. Hughes will make.
Discontinue of Raines.
Observers of legislation are laughing at
what they believe must be the discom-
future of the president pro tenn. of the SEN
ate in regard to apportionment When Sen
ator Raines announced his committee to
prepare the bill he and other members of
the old guard emphatically declared that
there fould be only two changes made in
the apportionment bill of last year and
those changes would correct the districts
declared unconstitutional by the court of
appeals. There would be no changes up
state. Yet Senator Iully upset their plans
He wanted to draw a bill that would reflect
credit upon himself and one that would
stand the test of the courts, as well as be
approved by the governor, and regardless
of the wishes of Senator Raines and the
old guard, he went ahead collecting data
and statistics and the result is expected to
be the fairest apportionment ever made.

Fidalgo bay, which haa alway; been considered somewhat oui 0 the copper belt, will have pro ducing mine this summer. Iii, Blakney property IS being raplG ' developed and will be ready |, ship in few weeks. Four mt : have been at work on the claims for some time, running a tunne which is now 21O feet in length This tunnel has crossed one ore shoot and Is p feet into the second Seventy-fve feet more will reach the third ore deposit, which on the surface is the largest of the three. There will be sufficient stopine ground on three ore shoots to keel the mine running For long time without sinking from the tunnel, and as soon as appliances for handling the ore can be installeo shipping will start. The ore runs from 5 to 1 { per cent copper.
 The expeditions and economical manner in which the Steamer Chittyna has been transported from here to the Copper river < the greatest object lesson there has ever been as to the practicabllltN of a railroad from this point. To the ordinary man not conversant with conditions us they exist here, the logical manner of transporting it was up lhe Copper river with a water grade all the way. w hat,' we can hear the New Tor ker say. ''Iake 1t over a mountain range? ridiculous" And yet there Is moi @ man in this country who has studied and knows the conditions but would have p?edicted absolute failure II an attempt had been made to take it up the Copper river.
 Over the ''impassab.e grade" which we quoted the other day from the Boston Transcript, this steamer 11O feet long 23 feet beam weighing oyer one hundred tons, with oGe single piece weighing four tons was taken by horses. without a dollars worth of work being done 10 reduce the grades as nature made them
 Through policies adopted in ignorance of conditions as they really exist we may be sidetracked for a while but we have the natura metropolis and railroad center oi Alaska and must eventually win out.
 The pluck of Geo. Hazelet in tackling this apparently difficult task Is something to he proud of and his success will make a great many people sit. up and take notice.

DRAGGED DOWN BY DESPAIR
Hundreds of Others in the Same
Plight.

Mrs. John H. Cole. of 50 Arlington
street, South birmingham, Mass, was
for years a martyr to kidney trouble,
but at last found a cure in Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills. She writes:
"I suffered greatly with periodical
headache. terrible bearing down pains
/ and whole train of minor symptoms.
My back was always weak and the
kidneys terribly dfsordered. I could
not rest at night and in the morning
| would get up feeling i'll, tired, and dis
couraged, and without the least ambi-
/ ton to go about my household duties.
If sat down 1 felt as though I never
wanted to get up again; / grew thin
and haggard and developed deep cir
cles beneath my eyes. My appetite
grew less and less as the days went by
until at last 1 did not eat enough toI
keep a child alive.
During all this time / was doctor-I
ing and dosing myself with first onel
remedy and then another until myl
stomach fairly rebelled. I called in al
doctor but soon saw that he did mott
understand my case. Well, you mayi
believe I was in despair for had GOMEZ
to that state where did not care what
happened, when a friend told me what
fine remedy and cure for kidney dis
ease Doan's Backache Kidney Pills
were. I bought a box and before I had
taken all of it I felt much better, my
back felt stronger and I rested much
easier at night and was not troubled
with Nightmares and fits of wakeful-
ness as formerly. After that first box
was gone I bought another and still
another, each one helping me and
making me stronger and better, until
l had taken twelve boxes. BY that time
not a vestfge of my old trouble re-
manned and it is the greatest pleasure
TO my life to say that Doan's Backachel
kidney Pills saved me from an early
breakdown
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
for sale by all dealers. Price so cents
per box. six boxes for $3.50, or mailed

THE TERRITORY WINS
VALUABLE PROPERTY

The Territory won a big land suit
yesterday, the defendants being Moses
Puahi, L. X. Puahi and Tam Pong.
The property is situated at KaneIoa,
Waikiki, and, with reference to a pos,
sible appeal to Washington, it was
stipulated in open court that the value
of the land should be considered as
over five thousand dollars.
Tam Pong's interest is that of a SUBJ
lessee from another Chinese who
leases a part of the premises from
the Puahis. Tam Pong is the TOO
much married man, now in prison
under sentence for a second conviction
in the Federal court on that score.
Judge De Bolt, after hearing, found
for the plaintiff for restitution of the
land The Territory had waived any
claim for damages on account of I'M
lawful detention of the property.
Deputy Attorney General Whitney
appeared for the Territory, and c. w.
Ashford for the defendants. Both in
answer and argument defendants at
tackled the legality of the great divi-
sion of lands in the Hawaiian Islands |
by the king in 1S4S at least so far
as that historical act disposed of ko-
1ohiki lands-that is. lands derived |
rom high chiefs by their retainers IN
title of f1ef. Mr.. Ashford also sug-
sested a possibility that the constt-
of the Organic Act, in re-
'pect of its disposition of crown lands, II
would be attacked in the United States
supreme Court on appeal of this case,
f necessary, to that tribunal II
"Oh, they viii attack anything" a
government official remarked after the
rial, but we have got the decision
nd will rest on that for a while"

SUNDAY GAMBLERS
PAY FOR THEIR FUN

The police court was unusually
crowded yesterday morning, the grand
roundup of gamblers by the police on
Sunday resulting in forty-one being
crowded in for trial, only one of these
captured having forfeited his bail. The
forty~one arrests represented seven dis
tinct games, fantan, paikau, craps and
others, but in no instance did the play
ers offer any defense, entering pleas
of guilty. Fines aggregating $237 were
imposed, the sentences of three were
suspended and in three cases the
charges were dismissed at the request
of the prosecution. Among the gamb-
lers were twenty-one Chinese, twelve
Japanese and nine Hawaiians.
Four DRINKS were convicted, their
aggregate contribution to the Territory
being S24.

ASKS REHEARING
Of MARINE SUIT
Criminal Dates Are Set-w0man
Observation-Disclosures
Case Delayed.

One more motion for rehearing was
argued, before Z. s. Judge Dole yes
terday. in the case of j. B. D. Lewe-
Iiilii v Hind, Rolph & Co, an ad-
miraIty suit for damages on account
of injuries sustained by complainant
on board the schooner Kona. T. w.
Rawlins appeared for complainant,
and Smith & Lewis for respondents.
Once the court set aside the process
on the ground that service was not
properly made on representatives of
the firm in Honolulu. Then, on a re-
hearing, the court reversed itself. The
motion now pending is for a rehearing
of the case. Judge Dole allowed Mrs.
Lewis seven days from decision in
which to file authorities.
TERM BUSINESS.
Samuel Parker was excused from
the trial jury until January 2.
X. Mitchell, charged with biganly,
was discharged on a nolle prosequi,
it having been shown that she had
obtained a divorce in the Territorial
court. Her earlier marriage seemed to
have been contracted in youthful ig-
norance.
Three trials that had been set were
continued until January 2.
Goo Wan Hoy, indicted for misuse
of the mails, as an anonymous letter
fiend.'' had his trial set for Friday
next.
H NJ Ayres, misuse of mails, had
his trial advanced to the 23rd inst,
giving a margin of two days before
Christmas instead of one day as for
merly set.
Melville M. Harmon, the Mormon
leader, had his trial for subornation
of perjury appointed for the first open
day after New Years"
Pa HUI No, counterfeiting, had his
trial set for Thursday next.
Frank J. Dillon, larceny of money
from Wailuku postoffice, had his case
continued for the term.
NATURALIZATION DELAYED.
Rudolf Kurella, a seaman who had
taken out first papers of citizenship in
1904, was unfortunate in having a ma
tepiai witness absent from the Terri
tory. Another obstacle to his natur-
alization when he appeared yesterday
was the wording of the statute. While |
it makes continuous service in Ameri- |
can vessels for three years good as
residence qualification, it provides |
that proof thereof shall consist in dis |
charge papers connecting together for |
The period. AS Kurella was engaged /
part of the time in vessels between
Hawaii and Z. S. mainland ports, and
vessels in such trade being classed as
soastwise and therefore not giving dis
charge papers, the statute failed him
n need.
Assistant District Attorney Rawlins 1
submitted that evidence of such COAST
wise service ought to comply with the
spirit of the statute. Judge Dole had II
10 doubt that such a construction
would be good law, yet he was not Il
prepared to go outside of the specific
erms of the statute without more Il
light. He continued the case until
lext naturalization day, falling on
Ionday. January 81, promising in the
meantime that an effort would be i
made to get a department ruling on
he question.
