the Philippines has attracted much
attention in official circles in Japan.
The Japanese insist that the island
does not belong to the Philippines,
because it is north of the twentieth

geographers, is uninhabited. Wheth-

SWAN TO SHORE.
Portuguese Risked Life so as to Stay
on American Soil.

Portuguese stowaway aboard the
steamer Glenenn just arrived at New
York from Huelva, was put to work
at the beginning of the trip, and was
told that at the end he would be sent
back to Europe.
When the lights of the New Jersey
coast were in sight on Saturday night
the Portuguese decided that he would
swim the rest of the way to America
He was not missed from the ship un-
til she dropped anchor off Sandy
Hook. A rope was seen dangling
over the stern and life bouy had
been cut away.
Capt. Gillings inferred that the
stowaway had taken the bouy with
him to assist in his efforts to reach
the Jersey shore.

4 Giant Steamer Completes Maj
den Voyage Successfully.
MADE QUICKEST Time

er Built Proves Herself to BE the
Fastest and Best Steamship Afioat
Today.
A few days ago there was local
celebration of the hundredth anniver-
sary of that proud occasion when
Robert Fulton's 13O-foot steamer
Clermont went putting up the Hudson
River at five miles an hour.
Thursday New Workers turned out
to welcome steam craft the passen-
gers of which break tasted in Queens
town. Ireland, Sunday, and lunched
in New York Thursday. Both exper-
iments, equally successful, were
epoch making in the way of propul-
sive power,-the Clermont with her
side paddles and the Cunarder with
her quadruple turbines.
The voyage of the Lusitania. so
happily completed, was most import-
ant In that it was a test of the most
the view taken by her owners, who
are satisfied that the practicability of
the turbine for fast vessels has been
demonstrated and that this new de-
parture in English shipbuilding has
been justified.
The fact that the Lusitania was
able to cross the Atlantic In five DAYS
and hfty-four minutes and was able.
on her maiden trip, nearly to equal
the best Transatlantic record, is
held to be of secondary Importance.
Officials of the line said that the Lus-
itania had dane all that was expected
OF her without being pushed to make
record, and they were confident
that she would be able, when called
upon, to add to her achievements the
fastest voyage across the Atlantic.
Heretofore, 1t was pointed out, tur-
bines have been constructed foc mod.
crate speed, but on the Lusitania and
her sister ship, the Mauretania, built
with the greatests subsidy ever
paid, was staked the British hope that
turbine driven vessels would prove
not only the most comfortable but the
swiftest liners afioat.
From the time that the Lusitania
sailed from Queenstown at noon Sun
day, until she came through the new
Ambrose channel and reached her
pier at the foot of West Thirteenth
street, North River, New York, at
noon Thursday, the steamer behaved
excellently, and according to the
agents, showed no defects.
The proudest man aboard, of
course. was the man on the bridge,
Capt. j. ID. Watt, who said: "She is
the fastest ship yet built We did
not try to press her on this trip be-
cause her machinery is new and it
might endanger her. We passed
through enough rough weather to
prove that she is good sea boat. She
did well-better than we expected"
The Lusitania is the largest liner
ever built. The Lucania, also of the
Cunard Line and the previous record
holder, which was started to pace the
Lusitania with fifteen minutes ad-
vance at Queenstown, reached Sandy
Hook bar at 9 o'clock that night, 3
hours behind the new ship.

GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
The Only COlored Member of the
Georgia Assembly Quits.

An Atlanta dispatch says Repre-

the only colored member of the Geor-

his resignation to Governor Smith.
1t was accepted and an election for
his successor will be ordered. Rogers
gave no reasons for his resignation.
and as he had another year to serve,
it is not understood. 1t was thought
that Rogers action was due in some

BRIDEGROOM IN
SPITE Of HIMSELF
Strange Story of a Japanese
Youth Married Against
His Will.

HILO, October 15.-'' Married but
Didn't Know It; Or the Bridegroom s
Brilliant Break might be suggested
as title for the story of Harry Motto IS
brief matrimonial experience which
may turn out not to be matrimonial
| after all!
Harry Motto is the well-known young
Hilo Japanese who was jockey for
Horner and has recently been promi-
nent as pitcher for Mooheau Baseball
Club. Recently his father informed
him that bride had been imported for
him from Japan and was at Honolulu,
IN quarantine, awaiting him. In vain
Harry Motto protested that he did not
want to get married at all, he was
shipped to Honolulu and was there
met by two japanese who drove him
round town and finally landed at the
Quarantine station where they met the
bride-elect. Meanwhile the men had
produced a paper which they asked
Harry Motto to sign. The youth has
been brought up in Hawaii entirely
and he never learned to write his own
language though he speaks Japanese.
He put mark on the document, but
not his name, and then to his astonish-
ment was told that he was married.
He protested but the two men
hustled him and his "'bride' into a |
hack and thence to the Kinau where
they threatened all sorts of things and
prevented either of the pair leaving
the boat.
Harry Motto would have nothing to
do with the girl and skipped the boat
at Lahaina. The girl came on to Hilo |
and went to the fathers house and !
later at his father IS behest, Harry |
Motto came on to Hilo. He still re-
fused to acknowledge the girl as his |
wife. He is a Roman Catholic, a pro-
tege of Rev. Father Louis, and sought
refuge with the father. A japanese

4 LAND HUNGRY
HAWAIIAN IN HILO
On Guard Thirty-Two Days for
a Chance, to Get Cane
Land.

/ HILO. October 17-From September
10 to October q, period of thirty-two
days and nights, Kalauao, a Hawai-
ian. will have been sitting outside the
Territorial Land Office in Hilo. when
/ he files his claim to Lot No. 81, in the
/ Olaa Homestead reservation, at nine
o'clock on Monday next
Kalauao used to live on Maui, but
he came to Hawaii eleven years ago
! in 1896, to be near his daughter, his
son-in-law and his grandchildren. He
is not young man, he will be 40
years of age next month. but he feels
young enough to take up a ten acre
lot, when it is appraised at only SIS
an acre and is the kind of land he
wants. There are several others who
want it, too, among them Charlie
King, inspector of schools on Hawaii.
But they can't get it because Kalauao
came first, and this is a case where
the first claimant gets the land, not
an auction sale when it goes to the
highest bidder.
Kalauao sits by day and by night
at the door of the HiIo Land office.
He has two grandchildren and they
take his meals to him. Sometimes the
firemen, from the station just above,
take him bench at night and he puts
that in front of the office door and
gets what rest is coming to him. He
owns little home in Hilo so is better |
off than many Hawaiians. But he is |
determined to own those ten acres of |
cane land
