Another step has been taken in the
fight with the Tobacco Trust in the case
of the 81, 200 worth of cigarettes that were
recently seized at Norfolk. The Trust
after putting up adequate bond was allow
ed to ship the cigarettes abroad. They
were intended for the trade supplied by
the British-American Tobacco Company
and were originally seized under the
claim of the government that it had a
right TO levy on trust goods in interstate
or foreign commerce. The question Of
law has not yet been fought out and it
probably will be long time before the
case comes to settlement which must
eventually be before the United States
Supreme Court. Meanwhile the Trust is
free to ship its good abroad, giving bond
to cover TIE amount if any more of them
should be seized

There was all interesting visitor at the
White House this week in the person of
old Ezra Meeker, one of the pioneers of
the northwest who has been for almost
two years engaged in a journey from
Tacoma, Wash, to the White House in a
prairie schooner drawn by oxen. He is
interested in a trans continental road
from the Atlantic to the Pacific to be
known as the Pioneer Way in memory Of
the man with the OK and wagon trains
who opened up the west to settlement
Ezra drove up to the White House in his
OK drawn wagon and was introduced to
the President by Representative Cushn1an
of Washington. The President walked
out bareheaded in the cold wind and
looked over the team and was introduced
to the hired man and the oxen. He ex
pressed himself as much interested in the
plan for a great inter ocean railway, but
there is a serious question whether the
scheme will become anything more than
scheme for many years to come.

GOOD TIME At SOCIAL
SESSION Of EAGLES

The social session of the Eagles, held
last night in the Knights of Pythias
Hall, was well attended and was one
of the most successful functions of its
kind ever neld in Honolulu. The real
features of the occasion were the efforts
made by those present to light the
pipes which were supplied for the &C.
casion and which varied from twenty
four to forty-eight inches in length
The man with the shortest reach in
tariably tried TO light the longest pipe,
and his attempts were in some cases
amusing, IL fact. he generally was
forced to call in outside assistance TO
obtain the desired light.
The evening was made pleasant by
songs, stories and musical selections
which were rendered by the different
members of the lodge and by the vari-
Gus penalties which were dealt out by
Chairman A. Y. Gear to those VINO
were unable to go through the stunts
which the fertile minds of the commit

The officers of the Eagles who had
general charge of the entertainment

vocation continued on Tuesday and

MON at 1890, the Rev. DR.. Alsop

The progress Of the Japanese Mis-
sion was related by Mr.. P. T. Fukao

One of the most interesting papers

on the work of St. Mary's, Moiliii. The
mission has recently moved into new
and more commodious quarters and the
night school and other branches of the
work are fiourishing.

the work of eight guilds.
