He TOOK A SHOT At
AN ABUSIVE COOK

NJ. Brilliante. Filipino, is in custody
at the police station with a charge of
assault to murder against him He
was arrested on complaint of Ben
Guerrero, at whom he took shot with
"a revolver yesterday afternoon on the
barkentine Irmgard.
The trouble between the two men,
which eliminated in the shooting, is
a long story says the aggressor. Both
men are employed on the Irmgard,
which is loading sugar here for San
Francisco. Guerrero is the cook while
the Filipino is the cabin boy. The lat
ter claims that ever since he went
aboard the Irmgard to work he has
been abused by Guerrero, who used to
delight in calling him vile names and
belittling him whenever he had
chance. This made the last trip to the
Coast a very uncomfortable one for the
cabin boy. The ship was a good one
to work on, however, and so he made
up his mind to stay by her. Besides
being very abusive the cook exhibited
a revolver to the cabin boy on the
way up to the Golden Gate. This
frightened Brilliante and he, too, sup
piled his kit with a revolver while in
San Francisco so as to be more on an
equal footing in armament with the
chief of the galley.
Yesterday the cook was in a re-
markedly bad humor. says Brilliante,
and he threatened all sorts of things
and used disgusting language towards
the second in command in the cook
house. After lunch the cook went out
side the galley and sat down to rest
on a bench. He must have dozed for
he says he was awakened by the sound
OF an explosion and opening his eyes
saw the Filipino approaching him with
a smoking revolver in his hand. The
cook made a rush for the shooter who
turned and ran throwing the revolver
overheard
When questioned at the police station |
Brilliante admitted that he fired the |
shot but said that he had done so to |
brighten the cook and not with any
evil intent on his part. To murder |
was farthest from his |
thought. The police did not believe the
story told and placed the charge of |
assault to murder against him. He |
viii be held to answer to the grand |
Jury. 1t is thought that Brilliante |
comes of a fighting family.

STATE FUNERAL
SET FOR SUNDAY
JUNE THE FIST

The end was sudden and totally I'M
expected, the general impression being
that he was well on the road to re-
covery.
With him at the time of his death
were Colonel and Mrs. Samuel Parker,
his father-in-hw and mother-in-law,
his daughter of six years, the Princess
Kapiolani Campbell and his sisters-in-
law, Miss Muriel Campbell and Miss
Beatrice Campbell.
The party arrived from Honolulu on
the Siberia May %, the trip being taken
partly for the health of Prince David,
which was not of the best. On the
trip across he contracted a cold which
in time developed into a bad case of
pneumonia and finally resulted in his
death. He took to his bed six days
ago. Last Saturday ne began to i'm
prove and so we'll did he appear yes
terday morning that there was a gen.
eral hope that he had successfully
combated the attack. At 8 o'clock yes
terday afternoon he took a sudden turn
for the worse, and died suddenly after
4:30 o'clock.
Prince David was forty years Of age
and the eldest son of Chief D. Kahale-
pouli. cousin of King Kalakaua. His
mother was the Princess Likelike. sis
ter of the consort to King Kalakaua.
He was given the title of prince by
royal edict.
He married Miss Abbie Campbell,
daughter of James Campbell, a Scotch
multimillionaire sugar planter of Ha-
wall, who first went to the Hawaiian
Islands as ships carpenter amassed an
immense fortune, and married a Ha-
waiian beauty of blood royal.
James Campbell died from the eff
fects of a shock caused by a brutal
attempt to force him to sign a check
for $4,000 and his widow married Col
onel Samuel Parker, Hawaiian capt.
talist and former court official during
the reign of Queen Liliuokalani. The
Misses Muriel and Beatrice Campbell
are daughters of the late James Camp
bell.
The Princess David did not accom-
pany her husband on this trip. Prince
Cupid, brother of Prince David, who
was in Washington, D. c., left for San
Francisco a few days ago on hearing
of his brothers Illness. He will ac-
the body back home on the
which leaves next Tues
day.

ERA OF STRIKES AND
WALKING DELEGATES

Editor Advertiser: A few reputable
citizens of the 1899 labor crowd did not
in any way represent the boycotting,
| Understanding gang of diggers who
came here then and made all the
| trouble they could. 1t was the walk
ing delegates and other leaders of this
influx who undertook to boycott the
merchants for employing Asiatic clerks
and whose twenty straw hats, left in
the ante-room of their union headquar-
tiers, showed on eighteen of them the
labels of local Asiatic dealers. Homo
lulu drew a long breath of relief when
that crowd was frozen out; and 1 quite
agree with a large part of our business
population that we would be better off
with our own labor than with that.
1 can tell you one thing, Mr.. Editor.
If this town is unionized the price of
living will soar like a bird and sting
like a bee. Every printing office will
find it's expenses increased from twenty
to thirty-five per cent; and will have
to raise it's prices There will be an
eight-hour rule imposed on everybody.
To build a house will call for 80 1-3
per cent. more than it does now, and
this will affect rents. The walking
delegate will thrive. He will order
strikes, on the slightest provocation,
as he does on the Coast; he will call
out all the men at once from a busy
mill or store and ne will either try to
get the Asiatics on the plantations to
form strike unions or he will make
continuous war on them. If Homo
lulu likes this sort of a thing, all right
but please excuse me. I'll go back to
Aroostook county.

Yesterday at a meeting of the rep
resentatives of the Hawaiian societies
of men, with Mr. Frank E. Thompson,
business adviser and attorney of the
Princess Kawananakoa, arrangements
were made for the funeral of Prince
David. The women societies sent
word through Miss Peabody that they
would take such part in the ceremo-
MES as might be assigned to them.
The funeral, which will be under
State auspices, will, at the request of
the native people, be held on Sunday,
the 21st, that being a day on which
they will not be hindered in attending.
The Manchuria, bringing the remains,
is scheduled to arrive on the 18th. A
guard of honor will meet the vessel
at the dock and escort the body of the
Prince to the home on Pensacola
street where it will remain until its
removal TO the throne room of the
Capitol. For one day, or perhaps two,
the body will lie in state there.
Col Curtis Iaukea will have charge
of the procession ard the Roman
Catholic Bishop will conduct the SER
vices Burial will be in the Royal
mausoleum. Kahilis and catafalque
belonging to the Kapiolani estate will
be used and the customary pomp of a
funeral of a member of the reigning
house in the days of the monarchy
will be observed.
The cortege will form in front of the
Capitol grounds. The line of march
has been drawn up but will not be
published until the Governor has pass
ed upon it. In the procession will be
carriages for the mourners, the Bish-
op of Zeugma, the Territorial Execu-
tive, the judges of the Supreme Court
and other high officials, including the
consular representatives. The Nation
al Guard companies of this city, de-
tachment from Fort Shafter, the ma
rines, the band, the fraternal organi-
cations and the Hawaiian Societies are
expected to take part.

Throughout the proceedings Datner
maintained silence, but bis eyes never

was standing to receive it, Siemsen ir-
terrupted eagerly. "Your honor, one

THAT is matter entirely with the
sheriff. returned Judge Cook impas
sively. Sienlsen sat down hopelessly,
moistening his parched lips.
5 His attorneys, John J. Greedy and AL
Whelan, said Siemsen had prepared a
statement he wished read, but Judge
Cook refused to hear it.
In the statement Siemsen had set
forth that Re had been wrongfully &C.
cused by Dsbner to shield a brother,
and in revenge, and that Bisehoff, the
star witness against him, was a cold
blooded perjurer He said the hope
never left him that Dabner would ret
go to his death with lie on his lips.
A curious crowd of well-dressed reo-
pie thronged and struggled to get in
side the courtroom long before the pris-
oners arrived. Six or seven women
tried to climb on chairs to set glimpse
of the men. Men climbed on the win
dow sills outside and morbid crowd
fought with each other for places in
the front line as the two muI derers,
with hopelessness and distress show
ing on their faces were escorted back
to the van in which they were TO be
driven through the pleasant summer
sunshine back to the gloom of San
Quentin nenitentiary, where they will
await death.

there will be some peace for me-
When he heard this, the Chief of De-
tectives sat up and paid particular at
tention to the rest of the conversation
of Alexander Emanuel otherwise
known as John Randall of Syracuse,
New York.
Yesterday afternoon Randall ap-
peared at the police station and asked
to see the Chief of Detectives. He
was shown into that ohicials private
office and told the following tale:
My real name is Alexander Eman-
uel This is a hard name to remem-

about eight months, having come here
from San Francisco and irtend to

principal one is a woman. She is a
beautiful woman and connected with
one of the wealthiest Wall Street fam

her. When l was in Columbia College

KAPPA EXCHANGE
TURNED DOWN

Colonel Spalding, through Manager
Fairchild, of the Makee Sugar Com
pany, has turned down the offer of the
government in the Kappa land ex-
change and the affair is off. On June
8, the Acting Governor wrote to Man
ager Fairchild. asking for an imme-
date and positive answer to the pro-
posal of the government, one way or
the other. The Governors letter, which
has never before been published, and
which states the position of the gov
eminent in the matter most clearly.
was:
Dear Sir: 1t Is now twenty-four
days since, as per cable advices, Col
onel Spalding has been in receipt of
your cables containing the exchange
proposition. 1 am in receipt of adj
vices from San Francisco that Mr.
Rithet expected definite reply by let
ter from Colonel Spalding by the 5th
instant. If you have not already heard
direct by letter from Colonel Spalding,
and it seems to me that sufficient time
has elapsed for such a letter to have
arrived, you assuredly could secure
Colonel Spalding's definite reply from
Rithet, who undoubtedly has received
the same in San Francisco by this
time.
Were it not for the fact that, from
last August to the time of Colonel
Spalding's departure from Honolulu,
the exchange proposition, substantial
ly along the lines of the exchange now
offered, had been thoroughly discussed
and gone over between Colonel Spald-
ing, yourself, and myself, SO that Col
onel Spalding should be in a position
to now answer definitely on the gen.
eral features of the exchange, and the
question being mainly one of values,
with which he is familiar, 1 would be
disposed to grant further extensions Of
time. Under the circumstances sur
rounding this matter, however, 1 can
not see any good cause for extended
delays at the expense of the Territory.
IF. therefore, you have not heard
either by letter direct from Colonel
Spalding or by advice from Rithet, I
feel that you should at once cable to
both Rithet and Colonel Spalding to
ascertain this one thing, yes or no:
whether the exchange proposition as
submitted is acceptable to Colonel
Spalding.'
Yours respectfully,
sc. A. MOTT SMITH,
Acting Governor of Hawaii"
FAIRCHILD REPLIES mo"
Yesterday morning a reply was re-
ceived by wireless from Manager Fair
child, as follows:
"Te Mott-smith:

lieve the Government from any further
obligation to wait for Spalding's an
swer. Letter from Spalding same mail
as yours refuses exchanges as sub

gar Company on the lands in question,
which are stated to be splendidly
adaptable for pineapples. Acting Gov
ernor Mott-Smith has not decided as
yet what their disposition will be, but,
having the exchange phase of the dis
,osal wiped out, is now going over the
iituation with a view of otherwise dis

The lands have been valued by APP

Government has everything in readi

GOOD STOCK FOR CITIZENS.
The population is very much mixed,
but it is rapidly becoming thoroughly
American. There are many children of
Chinese fathers and native mctfers.
and these are exceptionally good stock
1t seems to be just the right mixture
The offspring of such unions is very
promising. Born on American soil, they
will become American citizens, and this
country will have reason to be proud

HANS WAGNER DETERMINED
TO HAVE SEASONS REST
Star Pirate Shortstop Turns Down
Tempting Offers-Will Raise
Chickens This Year.

Hans Wagner gave Pittsburg base
ball fans jolt recently by announcing
that he would not wear a Pirate uni
form this season. There has been no
trouble between President Dreyfuss
and Wagner. Hans is not holding out
for more money. He simply says he
wants to get out of the game and will
not play.
Wagner says when the season opens
he will be found experimenting his
fine chicken farm near Carnegie. Wag-
ner Is worth more than 100000, and
has been anxious to quit playing ever
since last season Wagner declares
his mind is made up and cannot be
changed.
On finding that Wagner meant
really to retire, the owners of the
Pittsburg team offered him a straight
salary of $4,000 and agreed to allow
him to cut out the spring training.
When he declined this bait contract
signed by the Pittsburg club, with
only the salary line left blank, was
shown to him, and he was asked to
HI the hSures himself and the club
owners would pay it. This he refused
also, saying there was not enough
money in the world to make him play
ball. this year at least
There is intimation there was more
than rheumatism back of Wagner's re
fusal to play ball this year. He has
always been opposed to spring train
ing trips, and, having always played
his best ball with Ritchey, he felt
somewhat aggrieved a year ago when,
after quarrel with one of the club
officials, Ritchey was sent to Boston
Wagner, who was never known to
talk much, told a friend that his bust
ness interests were now getting so
large that he could not afford to
play ball.

REMARKABLE OPERATION ON
MINERS BACKBONE PER
FORMED AT ST. LOUIS.
PATIENT LIKELY TO RECOVER
Victim Buried Under Tons of Rock
and Coal Wts-ch Crushed Bones
OF Vertebrae Which Are
Taken Out.

st. Louis.-Joseph Pittoria, a miner
from Bush, ILL.,, will be walking about
and doing his regular work minus
portion OF his backbone if he RECEIVERS
from an operation performed on him
At the Evangelical Deaconess hospital
a few mornings since.
Pittoria, who had recently come
from Italy, was working in a mlue at
Bush when caye-in occurred. He
was buried under tons of rocks and
coal, which broke his back in the lum.
bar region. The mass of rock fell on
his head, doubling him up and crush
ing the transverse and spinous proc.
esses of the first, second and third
vertebrate
The crushing of these bones imme.
diately affected the network of nerves
which branch off from the spinal cord
at the point Of injury.
The motor tract of the spinal cord,
or those nerves which control loco,
motion of the lower limbs, were dead
ened so that he was paralyzed in the
lower half Of his body. The sensito,
ry tract or those nerves which gov
erned the senses, We're rendered acute,
SO that the man suffered intense az
ony constantly, making it necessary
to keep him under the influence of
opiates. SO great was the agony that
he would have succumbcd soon unless
relieved by an operation.
According to information obtained
at the hospital the subject was on the
operating table three hours.
1t was believed to be necessary to
remove the arches of the three yerte
bra, take out the crushed bone and
reach the spinal canal, through which
the spinal cord runs to the brain, III
order to remove the mass of clotteO
blood and splintered bone which was
pressing on the sensitory nerves anG
causing the man such intense agony.
Another difficult factor in the opera
ton was the excessive hemorrhage
